I'm considering switching to postmarketOS on my primary phone (Xioami A2 Lite)
I have a Xioami A2 Lite, the version with 3GB of RAM, it runs Android One version 10, it's not so great performance wise but it's sufficient for my needs, anyway, after checking out pm site I found out it's supported via community builds, most of the stuff seem to work, but I'm worried about receiving calls and text messages, I also have some Android apps that I must run (though a container on my laptop would do the job actually but it'll be best if I could run them on the phone), also I don't have an OTG adapter so I'm worried if I'm ever stuck I can't switch TTY and reboot, also my phone's lock button is kinda stuck and needs some weird angle to respond, I have some old extra phone around in the case calls don't work on pm but I'd rather use only a single phone, I have zero use of any bank apps, and I don't have much of experience with roms installing and kernel baking, I have been using GNU/Linux on my laptop for three years and I have good understanding of how things work in a GNU/Linux system, what do you suggest for me? I'm fine staying on Android if that's the best option until I get a new phone
Hey, I have no real value to add but saw that the post had 0 comments so I will just add that I feel you, having been looking for something else than the factory OS that is on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 and I dont know whats up with this model but to me it seems like it is not supported. Version 10 and 12 is though (whyyy) 🥲 Similar situation with one of the other alternatives I looked up earlier this year of I am remembering correctly. I hope someone who actually knows stuff comes in here with some good news in 2025!
