Hey all,

Want to know what are my options for example, Lineage 18, or AOSP Android, or something else. The reason I want to do this is it has Android 5 and there's just too much that won't work on it. Also I want more control as in remove junk I don't want, move apps to SD, etc. Not have stuff run and waste CPU and RAM.

If anyone has specific knowledge about this device and what's the best option, or even tell me what any given option offers best, that would be very much appreciated.

When I had my note 3 I used the cyanogen mod.

I currently use a Note 9. Its the note 3, but updated to today's modern tech (relatively) I no longer get software updates but it does have a lineageOS
