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.
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.
for it to get mainstream
It will never get more mainstream than this.
Lineage has been the go-to ROM that beat every other ROM in active users by one or more orders of magnitude since the beginning of Android. Everyone that cares a little bit about custom ROMs knows what Lineage is, and if they don’t they will recognize its previous name CyanogenMod.
Average users are never going to care about custom ROMs because it’s not worth the effort for them, so why would you care about making LOS more mainstream?
More people using a thing (in this case I mean FOSS more than LOS specifically) influences the market, companies start to notice and may even be forced to adapt. Large private monopolistic ecosystem are really bad for everything.
It would make things easier for smaller brands to enter market as well - like what Raspberry/Banana Pi but for phones.
Also the official list of supported devices (wiki.lineageos.org/devices) has a super easy install process. Mainstream would mean more of these (eg the latest flagship Samsung supported is S10/Note10). And expanding this list would make a huge difference in addition - not everyone that knows about custom ROMs is tech savvy (or just wants a stable OS with OTA).
And this is also only the official list, there are unofficial ports for much newer Samsung devices like the Samsung S20 FE
85 % probably have outdated firmware.
Why? I don’t understand. Doesn’t it have any update mechanism for that?
They mean that the device manufacturer and or hardware vendors are no longer putting out updates for the proprietary blobs.
I dont know if it even has to be proprietary. Vendors need to sign the firmware too.
Yeah, really bad.
I use it on my old Pixel 3a to play livestream bird feeders for one of my cats.
And did your Pentester find any vulnerabilities yet? XD

#GrapheneOS
Yes because every smartphone is a Pixel, apparently
Every smart person will have one with GrapheneOS installed
Ok, can you be smart somewhere else?
These comments where a bit selfish but GrapheneOS really is worlds ahead of LineageOS.
That might very well be, but their target audience is tiny, since they refuse to support anything but Pixel phones
Which sucks, because their features would also make other devices more secure. But at the same time they would
- need substantially more resources (I think supporting Google phones is really easy, as they get full security patches for everything)
- need to lower their security level a ton
No device needs even their basic requirements which are not even that high.
And even then the said points would be a problem
@Pantherina they could simply support phones with stock Android and there will probably be less work to do than supporting the broad range of devices that Lineage has.
