Installation with Dualboot

Dualboot with this Lineage OS 18.1 build is supported only!
Dualboot Android 13 and higher breaks SailfishOS and Android too!
Maybe A12 also... So just use provided lineage 18.1, ok?)

1. Use this recovery
2. Make sure that your data partition is decrypted.
   To verify this, recovery may ask for a password, if so, you need to format data!
   Do not boot into Android!
3. Flash this
4. Back up your boot and dtbo to SD card (because android will ease internal storage) with builtin TWRP backup.
   You don't need a full system backup (sailfish does not touch android partitions)
5. Flash SailfishOS zip in recovery. Installation may take up to 6 mins.
6. Reboot to the Sailfish, first setup.
7. Update Sailfish⬇️

To switch Android

Restore previously made backup and reboot.
