Comment on LineageOS now officially supports the Pixel 9 series
vividspecter@lemm.ee 2 months agoIirc it’s also a prerequisite for full-disk encryption on modern android.
How modern? It’s still working on Evolution X with Android 14 (although maybe it needs custom rom support).

I did not remember correctly, kind of. From AOSP, Android 7 and later use file-based encryption (FBE) rather then full-disk encryption (FDE). FBE is dependant on verified boot, which itself requires a locked bootloader.
Custom ROMs may have back ported FDE, modified FBE, or implemented their own encryption.
