Guaranteed Security Updates until? Not even mentioned? So it's just e-waste.


I had the Jelly 2 (Android 11). The Kickstarter promised an Android 12 update. Never happend. In fact, it never got any update. (On the official webforum there was talk about one update. You had to download it from a shady download site. There where all sorts of warnings. I don't remember if I tried and it failed or I never tried to update it. Still no good look. They deliver on the hardware but it is fire and forget on the software site.)


As @hagbard_c pointed out earlier, LegacyOS runs well on it, so you can continue using it when updates cease to appear.


LineageOS neither updates the binary blobs nor does it correctly implement secureboot and they don't backport all security updates correctly.


LineageOS?


An open source android distro, forked from CyanogenMod.


Sorry. My bad.
