LineageOS<\/a> is the open source version of Android. Combined with OpenGApps<\/a>, it has all the functionality of Android, without any of the bloat-ware, crapplets or customized skins that manufacturers and carriers add to Android. And, it’s supported by a community of developers so you can get the latest version of Android on your device long after the manufacturer abandons it to planned obsolescence.<\/p>\n

The LineageOS home screen launcher is called Trebuchet. It is more configurable than most stock ROMs. There’s a particular setup I like that combines a dark background (which saves battery on OLED screens) with big icons. Setting this up is simple:<\/p>\n

First, long-touch a blank spot on the home screen. The home setup screen appears. Your icons will be different from shown, but the bottom area will be the same with the WALLPAPERS<\/strong>, triple-dot button, and WIDGETS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"1-home-setup\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Touch WALLPAPERS in the lower left. A screen like below will appear asking you how you want to pick wallpaper. Pick the one circled in RED:<\/p>\n

\"home-wallpaper-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A screen like below appears asking which wallpaper you want. Pick the one shown below:<\/p>\n

\"home-wallpaper-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A screen appears asking where you want to use this wallpaper. I usually pick both home screen and lock screen:<\/p>\n

\"home-wallpaper-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, we’ll tell the home screen to use large icons. So go back to the home screen and long-touch a blank spot again to get the home setup screen. Then touch the triple-dot button:<\/p>\n

\"1-home-setup-settings\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The following menu will appear. You can set a bunch of stuff here; icon size is at the bottom:<\/p>\n
