it’s not really your phone unless you have full root/bootloader access to the device sadly

it may or may not work properly, but in my experience GSIs tend to work well enough.

i would just use sms/mms. it’s easier to manage (backups and stuff)

lineageos default apps identified as proprietary…

shouldn’t this only check for user installed apps?

so no way to download again those ROM !

go here and search twolip

well honestly i’d keep just using that version (18.1) since I hate android 12. but if you want a newer version, go here. scroll up a bit and there’s a LOS22 (Android 15) build from March 2025.

you could say that’s from an untrusted dev and kinda outdated security patch wise, well android 15 / LOS22 is still updated and almost the latest version. just build it yourself and you get an up to date version of lineageos for your device

not sure what answer you want here, the truth right now is that they don’t want to support us on custom roms. either mitigate the issue with quirky workarounds (last i tried safetynet bypass shits with magisk was 2019… idk how things are rn) or just keep a separate phone for those stuff only, or a web browser if it works, etc…

lineageos is fine and would be for now. if lineage’s killed it would also affect graphene.

just install lineage on ur phone and don’t install gapps, maybe disable some google stuff like the timesync server it uses or the connectivity check thing and you’re good. if its unsupported try a gsi version
