I have OnePlus 7 Pro that I successfully flashed with LineageOS 21 with MicroG. Do you have some interesting apps or ideas to take advantage of it? I thought of some Magisk modules. Maybe someone is more experience than me! This is the spare smartphone, the main one is GrapheneOS, so I don’t mind breaking stuff.

    Oh oke oke. I had issues with magisk a few months before I switch. I think there were incompatibility issues between magisk and lsposed manager, so I did a full reset, I upgraded the rom (from a beta version from November 2021 of the rom xiaomi.eu miui 12.6/android 11, I went to xiaomi.eu hyperOS/android13) and installed apatch so that I dont have incompatibikity issues (plus, it hides root much better).

      lsposed manager

      I don’t know what that is.

      it hides root much better

      To me, that’s the funniest thing. I come from Linux and I want to have - let’s say administrator (root) of my Android, which is also Linux as far I know. I know the Android is praised for its security, but come on, I wish to have control over my system as a working System Admin. That’s the main purpose of my set-up. How come, any app can just check whether I have root or not? That’s some bullshit.

      1. Custom ROM - LineageOS
      2. microG so I don’t use proprietary Google Play Services
      3. and root so I can have full control over my smartphone

        Those “root checks” are a joke. ~Nobody raises a brow if you are an admin user with root privilages on windows, (desktop) linux or macos. But it’s such a huuuge deal when you manage to actually own and use your own mobile device the way you want by breaking free from what they impose on you, ugh…

        Any app that doesnt work when you have root access ~shouldn’t be used at first place…

        Lsposed is a magisk/ksu module that has its own modules too. Like a manager insude a manager giving you even more options.

          I’m pretty sure Shelter is better than Island, but I forgot the reason xD

          Obtainium to grab apps and updates straight from the repositories.

          GPS Logger is neat if you want to keep track of your movements now that Google won’t track you anymore.

            Insular (the degoogled open source version of Island) has a page comparing Island, Shelter and Insular

            https://secure-system.gitlab.io/Insular/faq.html

            I don’t know if its updated, but you can pick the ones that fits your needs.

            I picked Island because I thought I may have issues with my notifications if I had chosen Insular. (Plus, there was this bug I was talking about and thought that it would fix it. Installing Island wasnt the solution, but I had already spent a lot of time/days setting up my phone multiple times and didnt want to try it again, with the possibility of problematic notifications.)
