Installed it on my old oneplus 6 who’s only issue was battery life to get it from android 11 to 13 now that it is back to my daily driver since my Samsung s20 broke. It’s running great
Having a OnePlus 7 Pro and I was thinking about switching OS to get Android 13 and current security patches. Are there any cons to switching OS? What about basic functionality (NFC, WiFi/data connections, Bluetooth, Calls and so on)? I guess I need to somehow save app data if I don’t want to lose 600+ tabs, had any experience/issues with that?
How about the performance and battery life?
OnePlus 7 Pro owner here. Currently running the Pixel Experience ROM. Pretty stable. Although I haven’t really tried NFC as there no use for it where I live. You can check out the xda thread.
Unfortunately it seems to suffer from the same problems that other custom ROMs like GrapheneOS have these days. The same goes for if you root your stock OS. Like all the normal Android stuff works (even better) but as soon as you want to for example use the tap-payment features or the ID stuff from your government it doesn’t work. Also good luck trying to use for example Samsung smartwatches
I don’t see why most of that would be necessary. Why do you need to be able to pay from your phone rather then a card? Why do you need your ID on your phone rather then a card?
Of course it’s not necessary, but it’s nice to have - it’s convenient.Thas always the decision you have to make. Either you sell away your data and freedom, and live “convenient”, or you don’t.
I know that some people have gotten Google pay to work on their rooted phone, but I’ve had no luck on my Samsung
I have no issues with Gpay on custom roms. You need the right moduls to make it works. Also, Zygisk is a thing.
If we could fix the issue with non working Google Wallet/Google Pay, that would be great.
But it is also worrying that there there seems to be only Apple and Google Pay in Europe - no alternative solution for wireless paying.
Other than that, Lineage OS on my 9T feels great. Battery life got almost doubled and it feels great to use a device with all current security patched installed. Next step would be to use a completely degoogled version with only FOSS software installed - just for some app there are no real alternatives available: Banking app, Fitness watch app, Carsharing app etc
magisk delta + play integrity fix has worked well for me. using google wallet without an issue
