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

    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
