I have LineageOS installed on my phone and it has almost weekly updates. Since the device is quite budget, I believe its memory can be damaged by such often updates so I’m not updating it for 2 months already. But there are security fixes and patches in newer versions so I do want to update. My question is: do I have to install every update one by one (there are like 8 of them lol) or can I just install the newest version? All of the updates are minor of course. There are no Android version jumps
EDIT: I installed the latest version as everyone suggested and everything seems to be working fine. Thank you all for help
My brother had a Motorola from 2014 until 2020. I gave a friend a smartphone from 2017 that I used daily until 2022 and he’s using it now. I’m sure you’ll be fine.
Also, the updates are weekly. I think they ship the latest commit or something, so skipping a few may not be a big deal.
Edit: answering the question, yes, you only need to download the latest
Hmm I know the worst thing that can happen is bootloop which is fixable by clean flash. I’m mostly scared of an unnoticeable weird breakage that creates privacy and security vulnerabilities. Is such a thing theoretically possible? I know it’s a ridiculous question but still
I’m no authority, but I don’t see how it could happen
