Safety net can be worked around using Magisk (including v24.3) by enabling Zygisk, downloading UniversalSafetyNetFix and MagiskHidePropsConfig, running the "props" binary from adb shell and selecting a known factory device fingerprint. and then adding the apps to the "DenyList". You also need to clear the data of Google Play Services and Google Play Store, and of the apps that detected root.

It is a hit or miss for me. But with TopJohnWu gone to google I wonder how long will Magisk last.

AIUI, Zygisk is a Google-approved variety of Magisk. The real issue with SafetyNet bypass is that it's inherently unreliable because Google could at any time require a locked bootloader running stock OEM ROM for passing SafetyNet, so any rooted device would be SOL.

Does anyone happen to know of any third-party Android 10+ distributions that work for the Motorola Moto G6 Play? They cancelled major updates for this model after just a year or so on the market.

I love Lineage and used it as my main phone OS but since my carrier required in February for VoLTE to work, I can’t receive or make phone calls anymore.

Device dependent. Too old and volte won't work. Also, Samsung devices typically will not have working volte on LOS and other custom roms.

I just switched to LineageOS 18 w/ MicroG and oh my lord is this stuff still complicated. I'm fairly familiar with this stuff and yet still it took me many hours to set everything up correctly. To be clear, this is not the fault of LineageOS, this is simply the state of the FOSS Android environment and the fact that Google has no interest in supporting this setup whatsoever, to put it mildly. Not only is it complicat…

Whoa, I'm still on an older version of Magisk and Android, should I not update then? I'm shocked and upset to hear that the Magisk repo and Magic hide are dead :(

Magisk Hide was replaced with "Zygisk DenyList". Which is fine, my main complaint is that you cannot guess from the name that it is doing essentially the same thing. The reasons for that can be read here:

It's nice to see that Lineage OS is still a prominent alternative OS. Back when I couldn't afford new smartphones, it would allow me to keep years old devices on relatively new software (these were the CyanogenMod days). Using it opened my eyes to tinkering and the possibility of a de-googled digital life. It's a shame that due to the ongoing 3G shutdown, people won't be able to keep old devices working.

I won't buy a phone that I can't run LineageOS on. MicroG. Life is too short to struggle and play games with the spyware that ships on phones by default nowadays. Better to be able to blow it all away.

I won't buy one that doesn't have an aux port. Do you know any lineage-supporting modern phones that have an aux port (and an SD slot, ideally!) by chance?

I wish that LineageOS could accept the "signature spoofing" patch that is needed for microg (possibly with a toggle switch that would be "off" by default), so that we could avoid the need for the less-frequently-updated https://lineage.microg.org/ and properly install apps from Play Store without the Google Service Framework (that essentially give root access to Google on your smartphone). (and actually I also wish t…

I'm on GrapheneOS for this reason. Sandboxed GSF isn't perfect, but it's good enough for use as a daily driver.

Can you share what's broken on this config?

Is there a list of supported hardware models in conventional (non-codename) format? I am eager to find a model which isn't going to be expensive/rare (like Google Pixel) nor obsolete (pre-LTE). This is rather hard with the old LineageOS versions HCLs.

Thanks for linking to the site.

I just updated it to include the new version. It's called 19.1 in their wiki and I'll just copy that version number for now.

All Xiaomi devices are unlockable and all Snapdragon devices should have no problem with custom ROMs. But if you are from US you can have problems with LTE bands maybe.

My Mi9 has no official builds for LineageOS and my days of trusting random forum users for my daily driver ROMs are over. There are many Xiaomi devices that are compatible with LineageOS, but they're exactly not guaranteed to work just because their bootloader unlocks.

You could run a build of the new LineageOS official Generic System Images. That way you wouldn't be relying on random xda users, though some things might just not work properly with a GSI.

Unfortunately it seems LineageOS isn't available for most (if not all) common budget/mid-range phones in my country. Does anyone here have experience in porting AOSP/LineageOS to an unsupported device? Any suggested materials and resources? I have the spare time to give it a go on getting it for my Samsung model, but no idea where to start.

On most Android devices, you can flash a new recovery image on with fastboot. You can not do this with Samsung devices, Samsung has its own proprietary methodology of flashing recovery images called Odin. Samsung is a supported LineageOS vendor, but Samsung devices have an extra step to even flash the device with a pre-built ROM.

Here is newest Lineage for Mi9 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-12-cepheus-lineageos-...

not exactly sure how exactly are official Lineage builds more trustful than unofficial, since it's same random forum users developing all these builds whether official or unofficial
