I was recently given a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to fix up. The camera len cracked and the owner took it to someone who replaced it with a plastic len (so needs a glass one). Also needs a new battery. That's basically it.
But TouchWiz really annoyed me (which was fine because it's not my phone), but then I helpfully offered to install a new ROM, explained all the risks (bricking your device, voiding the warranty, etc) and the benefits (newer security patches, support for newer software, etc).
So I downloaded Odin to install TWRP, and from there I install an unofficial build of Lineage OS 17.1. And all went well, without a single issue.
So here I am sitting, playing with "Dark Mode" and the latest features of Android 10, and wondering why there isn't a lot of people still doing it. Boot time is sped up significantly; software is FASTER then TouchWiz; it's even more STABLE then TouchWiz.
Why not? You can use your old phone rather than throwing it away and save the environment (or whatever needs saving)!
