I finally managed to install Lineage os on this HTC One (m8) thanks to the help of Lemmy!

    Very cool. I loved the m7 and m8, front facing speakers desperately need a comeback

      We need phones to have bezels again anyway. I’m sick of having to gingerly hold a phone in hopes of not accidentally touching the screen

        I’m guessing you don’t have a case on yours? I always buy a $10 case from a noname brand online anytime I hit phone upgrade time because its just enough to keep it from breaking in my relatively few drops

          I do have a case, but it still doesn’t take away from the fact that the screen goes beyond the edge of the glass and it’s a bit on the curvy part. But you also shouldn’t have to have a case on a phone. But now they make them like glass sandwiches so we have to be careful with them like looking after an egg in school.

          I also got myself out of the phone contract cycle. Waste a lot of money staying in a contract. Been with my current phone for like 5 or 6 years now. Pixel 3, if you care.

            Oh yeah, I say “phone upgrade time” referring to when the phone starts showing it’s wear and/or age. I generally buy unlocked midrange phones and upgrade every 2-3 years. It’s really funny hearing my MIL brag about how good of a deal she gets paying hundreds per month for their contact when their contract literally costs more per month than a single month of the prepaid service and an inexpensive unlocked device
