LineageOS, one of the last great Android ROMs, is currently in use on around 1.5 million different devices.

        Because people (like myself) do that with their old phone to have a backup that’s not horrifically outdated but that isn’t actually needed day to day

    It’s a really nicely built OS, well documented, and the install process is streamlined as much as possible (with detailed instructions).

    I really hope we can get enough attention and support to this project (as well as others like it) for it to get mainstream.

    I always wanted to try it, but my bank wont let me login if I’m not on on the devices OG OS, I used to run Custom ROM until that started to happen.

      There are workarounds:

      Install magisk, add the app to the zygisk denylist before first run.

      Install universal safetynet fix and magisk hide props config (modules for magisk).

      For some apps, you may have to install them in island so that they can’t detect the magisk app.

        You need play integrity fix instead of safetynet and just activating zygisk should be fine on latest magisk.

          Thanks. I have a pretty old install so my module list is a relic of the time but it makes sense why it still works for me. I’ll edit.

        I would suggest you get a pixel, why get a cheap xiaomi in the first place?

          Coz I have no money? Isn’t it obvious?

          Can I get grapheneos in my phone??? Or are you going to suggest another unrelated crap?

    I would love to use lineage or /e/ again on my phone, but Google’s Foto app is Soo good compared to all of the foss apps out there. Especially if you like modes like super-macro I did not find anything near that. This is a shame bc/ I’ve used an degoogled device for over an decade now.

    Does anyone have an idea how I could come back on the good side without loosing the functionality of that app?

    If someone could crack the verizon bootloader lock that would be great. Have wanted lineage for years on my old pixel!

      as long as it’s paid off just give them a call and ask it to be unlocked and if they still don’t want to just say your a developer and need it for work that normally works even if it isn’t paid off

      That number probably higher. However that changes nothing as we can’t control proprietary firmware blobs.

      Honestly there is no way of knowing anything about the security of those blobs. Firmware vendors can do whatever they want.

    Is that supposed to be a lot?

    Whenever Google kills a feature used by <1% people always cite that is still over a million people. But nobody looks at the reverse. 1.5 million Lineage users doesn’t even make up a tenth of a single percent of Android overall.
