At this point I'm not even picky about which custom ROM I run.
What I'm looking for is a phone that has a very small form factor and there's any custom ROM that officially supports it.

Ideally, with a 3-4" screen
Must be <5"
Must be officially supported. (for unsupported builds, I know of a few options already)

Are there any? Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Here's a great tool for finding Lineage-supported phones that even lets you search by size!

Hackable Phones According to their search, the smallest supported phone might be the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini.

However, as an XZ1 Compact user, I have to throw my recommendation to that Sony device. It's great.

EDIT: Also, just realized that the official Lineage page has a search feature that lets you set your desired screen size. Check it out here.

I still have a S4Mini in use, it's been a warhorse. It's just a backup device at this point because Lineage dropped support a long time ago, but I really like the size.

Damn, still running???? Incredible. How's battery life?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually, it's not terrible. I can get a day out of it, I always plug my phone in at night anyway.

No prob. BTW, you might enjoy the Compact Phones community. We're small, but we like it that way

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !compactphones@lemmy.world
