LG V30 owners rejoice as it appears that the six year old phone is officially receiving software support on the LineageOS platform. So now, one can move to the custom ROM and here are all the details.
The South Korea company had first launched the smartphone back in 2017 and its official software support ended a while back. Android manufacturers typically advise against using a device past its official support but now the device has been revived with the LineageOS support. For those unaware, LineageOS is a spiritual successor to the popular CyanogenMod, which was a major custom ROM from back in the day.
For those unaware, the LG V60 was the last edition in the company’s flagship V series of devices. So the V30 was also a premium grade device from its time and featured top notch specs and feature like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, which is more than enough to run LineageOS smoothly on the device. Furthermore, the device still is quite capable in daily use so LineageOS basicalyl breathes new life into the old phone.
As of right now, the LineageOS 20 is the latest edition of the custom ROM and is based on Android 13 operating system. Which is much newer than LG’s last update that only offered Android 9 OS from back in 2019. So for those interested, you can download the ROM straight from the catalog, although, make the update at your own discretion and be sure to backup your data and even follow the right steps.
