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.
You must log in or # to comment.
if there’s a Kali Nethub kernel for it, you can tuen it into a portable pentesting tool (think flipper zero)
Edit: nethunter, not nethub, fuck autocorrect
That’s a good idea, thanks!
Here are some suggestions:
- Shizuku:

https://github.com/LSPosed/CorePatch - Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode:
https://github.com/Rikj000/Magisk-Manager-for-Recovery-Mode - Android Auto (through aa4mg, with 3th party app + screen mirror support)
I posted instructions for it on the S2A XDA thread:

- Is Shizuku beneficial when I have root already?
- LSPosed got archived and to be honest, I don’t understand the description.
A Riru / Zygisk module trying to provide an ART hooking framework which delivers consistent APIs with the OG Xposed, leveraging LSPlant hooking framework.
- CorePatch seems interesting but also very risky, so I can easily break many things.
Disable signature verification For Android
- Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode - I don’t think I have a plan to use Recovery Mode, mostly inside the system, but thanks. Are there any advantages to managing it when I have Magisk installed and applied as an app?
Android Auto (through aa4mg, with 3th party app + screen mirror support) I posted instructions for it on the S2A XDA thread:
- Android Auto seems like a great one, especially with instructions, thanks!
- AdAway - yeah I heard of it, but I have a “VPN socket” already taken by TrackerControl.
- MiXplorer is another great one thanks!
- LuckyPatcher I have used it before, but never tried it with root.
- ViPER4AndroidApp - I don’t understand this one, like LSPosed.
- XPrivacyLua got archived, but it’s a good suggestion.
- ForceDark seems like it’s abandoned. Moreover, I think there is some experimental thing to force apps to be dark themed.
- PixelXpert - I use OnePlus 7 Pro, on Pixel phone I use GrapheneOS.
- Shizuku can run as root,
and has some advantages compared to giving apps root directly (e.g. it’s faster) - LSPosed is indeed archived however it still works. It is the continuation of XPosed, a framework which allows modules to hook into functions of applications, to run custom code before/after them. These kind of modules allow for additional modification options which are not possible with normal Magisk modules.
- CorePatch makes it easy to install modified applications over stock ones, without needing to uninstall / wiping the apps data. Just make sure to not install modified versions of system apps and you should be fine.
- It’s mostly used to recover yourself from bootloops when testing out new Magisk/Xposed modules, since if the phone bootloops, you can still disable the module that caused it from your custom recovery.
- It can make extended use of root + xposed, allowing it to auto-hook into applications, without needing to patch / install modified applications
- Very advanced audio tweaking software, can make 20$ headphones sound like 200$ headphones with the right tweaking.
- Is an Xposed module to turn apps dark which do not natively support dark themes, still works nicely, however not on all apps.
- Shizuku can run as root,
- Shizuku:
I get that this is a spare phone, but do you have a specific need for root? I’d sort of recommend against it if possible, though I’m not sure if it’s required for vanced and stuff
I want to have fun with Android that I have control of - that’s it. Why would you recommend against, though?
Realistically it won’t make a difference since you have an unlocked bootloader anyway and you won’t be able to pass strong integrity with it unlocked regardless. It just makes using some apps a bit of a headache, but if you can deal with playing cat and mouse with safetynet fixes it’s not really much of an issue.
As far as apps, I recommend the gappsmod to get the Pixel dialer features and AdAway as a baseline, but it really depends on what you want to do with the device.
Sounds like a never-ending job.
Thanks for GAppsMod recommendation. That’s the thing, I don’t know what I can achieve most with the setup I have. It’s mostly a tinker and play device.
