I’ve got an older phone that predates any OS I can find readily, but did find out of date Lineage here. They also have a website with cyanogen. I’m not really worried about destroying the phone, but would rather not download something from a known bad source. Does anyone know if this site is acceptable?

Thanks!

    specify what device

    I guess that would help haha. I’m a little confused on it. I bought it new in box from a carrier as a Motorola Moto X. It’s a first gen. The phone says it is a Moto X in the info part of settings. However, when connected to a computer, it says XT1039, which seems to be a Moto G.

    I plan to start with first gen Moto X.

    It could be someone’s barely working proof of concept

    This may be fine, the phone is old enough it no longer connects to networks (US CDMA phone…). I am primarily looking to use this as a learning experience before getting real with my current phone. I guess it will be my own proof of concept 🤔

    Good luck, compiling Android is a major pain in the ass.

    Ya, that is what it seems. I was trying to avoid that for my first time but maybe this won’t be the phone to do it with. I’ll look at XDA forums.

    That is for the help 🙂

      I’ve got a 2013 MotoX, and it’s been many a moon, but I’m pretty sure I was able to get LineageOS onto it. It’s a small, thin phone with voice recognition built in. Quite distinct looking from any Moto Gs we’ve bought. Took Motorola forever to port Android M to it, and then the port was actually really shitty, so it was nice to eventually find a port.

      I think I found the good version on xda. OTOH, I don’t think it was a cdma phone. I think the one I had supported LTE
