Custom ROMs are a boon for old Android phones. Custom ROMs allow not just outdated devices, but also the most recent ones, to get a plethora of customisation and other modification options. LineageOS is one of the most popular custom ROMs available today. Owners of the Fairphone 4 can now access Android 13 and microG by installing the most recent LineageOS ROM. This is an unauthorised build, but what’s better than having access to newer features and a slew of additional features?

Anyway, for those who are unaware of the Fairphone 4, it is a mid-range smartphone produced by Amsterdam-based startup Fairphone that stands out from the regular Android crowd thanks to its easy-to-repair design. It was released in 2021 with Android 11 pre-installed. The brand has promised two major Android updates to the smartphone, but the device is yet to get the Android 12 build. Anyway, keeping the brand and its OS promise aside, the device has got support for Android through an unofficial build of LineageOS ROM.

Thanks to XDA JMember tfbb and significant contributions from the WeAreFairphone community, the phone now has an unofficial build of LineageOS 20 with microG and F-Droid. Because this is not an official release, we should expect some things to fail and bugs to appear on occasion. There could be some other noticeable bugs here and there but the developers will surely fix them as soon as possible.

All you need to check out this unofficial LineageOS 20 build on your Fairphone 4 is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed on your phone. Fortunately, the developer has also included a LineageOS recovery image to make flashing easier. However, before you proceed to flash the ROM on your device, make a backup of your data first, as you may lose it during the installation. You can download the ROM using the link provided below:
