degoogle android with lineageos

More than a hundred devices are supported by LineageOS including old ones, you don't need to buy a g00gle's Pixel phone to then degoogle it. 😲

I've been using S3 (i9300) with the release date as May 2012 along with lineageos for almost 10 years. This guide is for HTC One (M8) though, but the process is nearly the same for your model as well. Both devices are still one of the most popular used models according to stats.lineageos, m8's release date is March 2014, check if your phone is supported here, check "Show discontinued devices" if you're okay to run the outdated version.

The wiki page is more than enough but it's better to have everything in one place rather than following a lot of external links.

Pre-Requirements

Enable USB Debugging: Settings -> Developer options, click "Yes" and check if USB Debugging is marked.
