I’m so confused by this submission. It’s not a guide but a collection of notes from someone (in china) customizing a oneplus build. There’s some useful info there but only if you’re already at a point where you’re comfortable running your own compiled full vanilla builds. Go to https://wiki.lineageos.org if you want to install and/or compile for a phone.

I personally had big problems doing an OTA update within LineageOS that required a factory reset afterwards. So yeah, don't do the OTA updates. Do full backups and full manual updates instead.

Any guidance on whether I should use graphene or lineage if I want a simple easy to use replacement for google captured android?

Title doesn't really fit, but useful info on AOSP internals nonetheless.
