I was able to find LineageOS 21 for the Note 2 but only 18 for this so far. Is this something that I'd have to manually build on my computer? And yeah battery issues are most likely the battery itself as lithium batteries age over time

                    Just bought this S4 i9505 yesterday for $10, surprisingly, it's Custom rommed into Android 11. Everything's functional, even the cellular too. The cons is that it's underpowered, i think the battery drain was at the battery itself (normal for samsungs). Overall, it's a very good old flagship phone that can be used as daily, if not for photography use and only light use.

                                  The Galaxy S4 is a little underpowered now, but it's a pretty good phone, even for a secondary phone.

                                    .....just spent the day browsing Youtube review.....think the Google S4a is the one I'd go for BUT my S4 is still working OK after 7 years....Does all I need...The only thing is the slow focussing on the camera but still takes very good pics.
                                    Some apps don't run because of old O.S... but as long as I get Google, Ebay, Amazon, Youtube and Gumtree I'm happy.....
                                    Think I'll hold on a bit longer - sorry the Google phone can wait a bit longer 'til I possibly buy.....

                                      Had this phone many years ago and I must say, It's my favourite phone ever! It was so ahead of the time and had many new options, I enjoyed it!!

                                        Anonymous, 16 Dec 2020Can you still get most apps with this phone? I'm not too sure with the current android version that's installed but I know that if you tried installing a custom ROM where the android version is more recent then, it will definitely support more apps than now it currently does
