Sure! Actually MIUI has Android 4.4.2 KitKat. I repartitioned the ROM partition by following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7_jrw9C9Pg And downloaded the ROM files form here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unofficial-14-1-7-1-2-201... China ROM is really bad as it can lead to black screen with the tablet becoming unresponsive.
What is the lineageos you use based on? What android version?

DRM is a problem everywhere including linux and running ChromiumOS. There is a protected path from the stream to the display that needs to be "certified" in order to support something like 1080p. I guess for payments it's similar. Its really unnecessary and waste of resources imo. But creators probably want some kind of assurances and so we are stuck with it.
You are forgetting that DRM stopped all that piracy that bankrupted the movie industry. That's also why there were so few movies released in the last 15 months or so. It really debunks that myth that open source software could ever handle the strong encryption that's so desperately needed to protect new movies and TV shows from showing up on The Pirate Bay. I for one welcome this cogent and secure technological respo…
It is interesting that oneplus one and oneplus 3 are getting 18.1 while oneplus 2 is not
> LineageOS has a feature that helps people protect their privacy when calling helpline and hotline numbers by hiding the calls from the logs. > LineageOS 18.1 introduces a helpline contact list (just look at the 3-dot menu in the dialer to find it). In addition to quickly being able to find and call any of these numbers, we also show names, languages, websites, and categories for many of them. Both are interesting U…
>LineageOS has a feature that helps people protect their privacy when calling helpline and hotline numbers by hiding the calls from the logs. I love that there's a completely real and sincere justification for the feature, people suffering from issues may want/need to hide their help line contacts, but everyone involved has to know 90% of it's use will be sex lines.

Unfortunately, even if LOS supports my device (it does), it's not a viable solution anymore for me as a primary smartphone OS (even though I really appreciate some of its features -- used it for years on previous phones) due to SafetyNet. - Google Pay will stop working. - My banks' (multiple) primary apps and pushTAN solutions will stop working. and that's two of the most important things I use my phone for nowadays.…
Indeed. It's not even just banking apps - even my TSP's app refuses to run on my Samsung phone now that I have tripped its Knox counter. It's just a lazy and convenient approach to prevent tampering.
I don’t suppose anything rings a bell?
How well do Lineage or other custom ROMs work with devices that are not explicitly supported? I've got a Samsung A50 that has the absolute worst UI, even though I loved the UI on my Samsung Note 3. Rather than ditch the perfectly fine hardware, I would like to install a custom ROM on it. However the A50 is not on the list of supported devices.
Usually they list other supported ROMs on XDA Forum, but a quick check there indicates to me that there are no AOSP ROMs for A50. It is likely due to it using Exynos chip which requires use of proprietary drivers.

Google Trends is telling me that "peak modding" for android was around 2014, and has steadily been decreasing since. [0] What happened since then? Are people more satisfied with stock ROMs and see less use for them? FWIW, my own phone is on LineageOS, and love the freedom it provides.

A lot happened - many more recent phones, especially from big brands like Samsung heavily restrict unlocking of their bootloaders. Google implemented SafetyNet, meaning anyone who wants to use things like Google Pay, Netflix, even Pokemon Go and others now has to jump through hoops. Additionally, things like Netflix are still restricted from HD playback on unlocked devices due to hardware DRM. Android has also gotten…

On some phones we can pass the SafetyNet test by using Magisk. Enable Magisk Hide for the apps that use SafetyNet. Sometimes you also need to add the Phone app to Magisk Hide (not sure why) and/or "hide" the Magisk app with the built in toggle. Obviously it's not something everyone wants to deal with, but both my banking app and Google Pay works on my Asus Zenfone 6.

I still root for fine tuned privacy (through xprivacyLua) and app backups (through titanium backup). These 2 apps provide features that are not available in any other os.
