Okay so I haven't yet flashed a new ROM on my phone but I'm glacially getting there, backed up all images and downloads.
Also commenced an epic campaign of cleaning the house - not a true spring clean, but have relatives popping by this evening and they'd better not see the current state of my shower recess, esp as they might be staying here while I'm away. Plus it'll be nice to come back to a clean house after my upcoming trip.
Helps work off the anxiety about what kind of response I might get back from work on Monday. It doesn't affect me as much as before as I'm almost done with that part of my life now but you know, it's not easy to completely rewire the neural circuitry that tries to cope with easily angered people in positions of authority
Which ROM?
Switching from an extremely old/abandoned resurrection remix (still running android 7 lmao) to Lineage 20. I need to do a total factory reset.
I have LineageOS 20 on my tablet and iodéOS (which is a fork of LineageOS) on my phone. They both run great so hopefully you have a similar experience and can enjoy your 7 year update! Good luck!
I regret not backing up the old rom like I was supposed to when I did this. :(
The main thing I'm afraid of is bricking the phone. Don't care as much which ROM I end up using as long as it is recent enough and decent enough...
The ROM I tried didn't work and I didn't have a backsies backup of the original ROM. Now I have a brick.
