It doesn't have to be safe , you have to root your phone and do every step correctly. After that there is chance that something won't work. On XDA it is always mentioned what might not work. Our phone is getting older, in hardware we can't do anything but in software we can install 3rd side OS which may work partly good. In this time , every day we can find new phones with lot of specifications, maybe it is time to buy a new phone or use the old till we can. For example S5 is using Marshmallow as a stock rom, it is really old but almost everything what we need is compatible(Instagram, snapchat, whatsapp, facebook etc...). The original os that came on the phone (in this case J7 2016) is Oreo( when you update) and for me it works great. I really want to have PIE OR Android 10 on phone and i can find Lineage OS and risk because it is not so easy to install and even with old OS(Oreo is not that old, still functioning very great) my phone works great like the first day. Why would i risk something and screw up and people in Samsung won't give me support because it is not their OS. I believe that Samsung create most stable OS for their phones , and some other people who built Lineage platform could create a pretty good OS with some new features but they mention that something might not work. We can't use this device forever but everyone should do all process with phones on their own.

    "The AOSP code can be found without modification on select devices, mainly the Nexus and Pixel series of devices. The source code is, in turn, customized and adapted by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to run on their hardware." - says Wikipedia!

    So AOSP is 100% Android and there is no other Android! While OEMs customize the AOSP code for their needs, Lineage OS remains at 100%. Having Lineage OS installed, you can choose which "bloatware" you want to install next, facebook app, whatsapp etc or you can stay free of all that stuff.

    Tho only difference is: Android for Nexus was compiled by the Nexus team and Lineage OS was compiled by the Lineage OS team. What is the difference, when your compile a source code two times? There is no difference.

    Remember, that we will not get any security updates in 2020, so our phone well become unsafe. The only option to get a modern and secure system after 2020 is to self-install a new system and Lineage OS is one.

One thing that samsung keeps me to be their user is what their UI. Regular UI is boring. My point is that LINEAGE OS is good to have new version of android when your android is old but it is unsafe and you have to root your phone to install that and there is a chance of bricking phone. That OS could have lot of bugs in android but official one is more safenand tested but can happen to.

        otnaaa2, 07 Nov 2019Yes, it is true. But Lineage OS is not official android and... moreLineageOS is 100% Android, because it is derived from the "Android Open Source Project", also called "AOSP" and this is the source code from Android. But LineageOS is pure Android, so it comes without all that Samsung stuff and Microsoft stuff like UI or Word, Excel ...

        And there are no updates and patches, because there will be a next version of LineageOS as LineageOS 17 ( ~ Android 10) will be out in a few weeks or months.

But Lineage OS is not official android and can have lot of bugs to phone or some function problems but it is not always case. They are published on XDA but I prefer official. I am not sure about lineage updates but i don't see that safe

            I think, LineageOS 17 (Android 10) will be released as an official version of LineageOS für this phone.

                    Will there be Android 10 for this phone? No? Yes: Some sources say that there will be Lineage OS available! Lineage OS is a free version of Android and Lineage OS 17 is similar to Android 10.

                      Go to settings > apps > Google play services > storage > manage storage > CLEAR ALL DATA, restart phone and you are done everything will be normal as before, I was so frustrated of this problem a few days ago, even bought a new battery but nothing changed, called customer support and they asked me to reset my device would solve the problem but I didn't reset my device got lots of important data all I did was reset Google play services app storage everything is fine now even tested the old battery and it is working fine, just wasted my money by buying the new battery

It will just receive some security updates from time to time. You can search online and see if there is way(tutorial) to find PIE custom rom to install.
