Pixel 4a because it was the newest cheapest Pixel at the time and I wanted to run GrapheneOS. Ended up switching back to Calyx and eventually to stock after I realised I was sacrificing a lot more convenience than I wanted.

What is your plan for when the EOL for stock updates comes (around this august iirc)?

I think I might just flash LineageOS.

probably start shopping for a new phone. The battery is dying and I'm not sure if it's worth repairing.

Does LineageOS not go EOL at the same time? I thought they followed the security update cycle

I'm an advocate for fixing if you can, the phone still feels as snappy as it used to and I really like it's size and weight.

A new battery is as cheap as 7$ on AliExpress.

Actually I am not sure what determines EOL for custom ROMs... Maybe it has to do with the firmware not being updated by Google? Although I read somewhere it has something to do with the kernel version - which I'm not sure why you can't update?

Maybe someone with more knowledge on the topic can enlighten me.
