    Check the unofficial builds on XDA. My bet is that it exists. The unofficial builds are rock solid if you’re wondering. I have a 10 year old smartphone that runs Lineage18 flawlessly on an unofficial ROM

      Thanks. I just spent some time on XDA and unfortunately there’s scant support for my processor.

      No joy today it seems.

        Dang. Yeah, every time I look for a new smartphone I check to see what the Lineage and future PmOS support is like

          This is a Note 8 and no one has figured out a way to open the Snapdragon bootloader.

          Thing is I specifically chose Snapdragon for its performance. Silly me.

            Yep, I’ve had to tearfully look away from better (and cheaper) handsets than the one I’m holding for the same reason. If it can’t be repurposed don’t buy it
