Want to breathe new life into an old phone you have lying around? Sick of the dated OEM skin on your device and want to try something new? If you have a OnePlus 5, OnePlus 5T, or the LTE variant of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, then you're in luck. The owners of these devices can now install official LineageOS 19 builds, the latest version of LineageOS based on Android 12.

OnePlus 5 and 5T

The OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T are nearly five years old, hence you may be itching to try a custom ROM out to expand functionality anyway. The official LineageOS builds for the device duo come courtesy of developers trautamaki and snc.

To install LineageOS 19, you'll need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed on your device. Matter of fact, the LineageOS team does provide a recovery image to make the transition as seamless as possible. Remember to take a backup of your data before starting the process or you may lose it during the installation.

Next, you'll also need to flash a Google apps (GApps) package since it's not bundled with the ROM. If you're not sure, check out our guide on how to pick and install the right GApps package for your device.
