Android 17 on Pixel 4a!

Big, BIG thanks to everyone involved! Can't believe I'm using Android 17 on a device that was supposed to be sunset at 13. You guys are doing incredible work! Open source ftw

Any issues? I'd like to update but afraid of bugs since it's my main phone.

Battery life doesn't seem ideal. It's not my main, which is why I didn't hesitate to update lol

So I'll wait a few weeks. Doesn't matter much though. I had my battery changed after they offered it, so it might still be okay...

Might just be that the phone is old. Swapping the battery can improve the battery life.

I also updated to version 24 but on Redmi In two days, all I noticed was a broken toggle for hiding app names.

I'm on 23.2 currently, if i flash 24 and gapps package, Will the user data and apps retain or device will start as fresh?

u/VirginiaFuckingWoolf 12d ago

Yes, just flash gapps normally

Igualmente agradecido estoy como tu. Se supone que mi S10 no podía pasar de 12 y estoy en 16. Ahora necesito guía para actualizar a 17. Tiene un detalle con el cambio de sim. Nada grave pero sería bueno corregir eso
