>SuperSu why would you make a thread about escaping the botnet and then recommend rooting software that's literally closed source and owned by the chinese why would you use something proprietary to root your phone you fucking idiot

I installed an XDA pajeet lineageos rom for my Mi A2. Thinking about rather flashing lineageOS for microG but it's just in the 14.1 version.
Carter Miller
he said decent
John Torres
If I install microG will I be able to use my banking apps? They need the Play services and I don't want to go through all the hassle and then be unable to use them.
Blake Green
is not botnet is decent
on mobile devices, you pick one.

Anyone else have this issue?
Charles Barnes
Is there at least one with ad-block addons or in-built?
Brandon James
yes, you can install ublock origin with both icecat and firefox

Evan Rogers
Looking to upgrade my VZW Note 8 to restore muh privacy. Was going to buy a Pixel 3a XL but didn't see many ROMs for it. Thinking about the OP7 pro but can't part with that much cash at the moment. What y'all using for phones.

Safetynet. For mofern phones Opos and Pixels are only phones you can unlock bootloader.
You are cucked if you have Samsung, Huawei etc

ok babby's second rom install >got adb, fastboot, already ran twrp on my phone >no drivers, my computer recognized the phone (?), I'm on debian 9 >already have the lineageos for microg 14.1 zip file >I'm on lineageos 16 pajeet edition atm
Now is it as simple as wipe system, data, cache, dalvik, THEN adb push lineage-microg.zip and install from twrp?
Why should I use simpleemail it doesn't look like its being developed or even kept in sync with fairemail

Reminder that de-Googling is impossible for most normies because how the fuck are you supposed to get things like your bank's app when they only host it on Google Play? Considering that federal agencies like USPS offer apps exclusively through Play Store, we're practically in South Korean government sponsored Internet Explorer ActiveX banking websites territory.
Luke Flores
Nice quads. Also you should mention that kakao owns the other half of everything in Korea
Xavier Johnson
well fugg
Lucas Gomez
can you do something like dual boot on a phone?
Ayden Phillips
there are things that allow you to get playstore apks, without using the playstore. then you can install it manually. and if your bank app checks for root, magisk can bypass/hide root check.
Gabriel Lewis
theres SafeStrap, which was for the Galaxy S4 for newer updated models that couldn't loki patch for full unlocked bootloader, which allowed you to install a secondary rom and root it, with that you could dual boot roms. I am unsure if other phones have similar features.
Samuel Bailey
honestly the s9 with lineageos looks fucking awesome

I need help bros. I've been trying to build ungoogled-chromium and I already have everything downloaded/installed but since I'm not into programming I have no idea what they meant by "TAG_OR_BRANCH_HERE" in here:
tag_or_branch_here just means what branch of the repo you want to use.
just type master where they want tag_or_branch
Colton Lewis
I'm using AOKP since LineageOS don't support my shitty phone anymore. Anyone on the same boat?
Samuel Allen
OK guys I'm going to save you lots of time and prevent any headaches. I just finished installing LineageOS and I wish somebody have told me this. >t. Ex-Recognized Contributor at XDA.
DO NOT: - Install LineageOS 4 microg. It's DOESN'T work and its buggy as hell. - Use OpenGapps. If you have to, atleast go with nano or higher (beware some functions may not work e.g Auto, Dialer).
So why do we need Gapps? Trust me I was ready to go without it, that is until some of my apps I needed to use had internally fucked with Google with GCM or Firebase or whatever. One way to determine which apps rely on Google services is to Freeze (disable) the Google Play services and frameworks and see if your app still runs.
Back to the guide. Backup all your app+app data with oandbackup. Default backup location is the sdcard.
Get an official build flashed. Follow their install guide for more info. Make sure to backup your internal sdcard beforehand cause it WILL be wiped. I assume you have TWRP. >Reboot into recovery >Wipe all data >Sideload LOS.zip >Reboot bootloader. (Need to remount system) >fastboot boot twrp.img >Flash MindTheGapps and reboot >Setup phone etc and reboot into bootloader >fastboot boot twrp.img >Flash TWRP.zip >Reboot recovery >Install Magisk and reboot >Restore backed up apps and sdcard etc
Install these modules: - Busybox for Android NDK - liboemcrypto disabler - MagiskHide props config
Magisk Hide any apps that block you and don't like you having root or a custom ROM. E.g. Netflix, banking apps, etc. - Open Magisk Manager drawer on the left - In Magisk Hide, check the apps you want to spoof
Certify your Play Store: www.xda-developers.com/how-to-fix-device-not-certified-by-google-error
Download AFWall+ and block any apps that don't need internet or ones you're not using so (((they))) don't spy on you in the background.
And you're done. Enjoy.

I compiled Ungoogled Chromium last night, and It's pretty decent so far. But how do you protect against fingerprinting?'
IceCat had a good selection of options built in, but pretty much all you can do on Ungoogled is disable Javascript. How would I go about spoofing referrers and user agent, disabling custom fonts, disguising screen resolution, etc? I thought this browser would allow me to go crypto-normie, but I'm slightly more identifiable than before.

Some extra notes. >Privacy Gaurd + Restrict WiFi/Data Usage setting (App's info) + AFWall + VPN >Get comfy.
If you didn't know already, DO NOT use microG. It's good on paper but a long shot in terms of practicality. It was good in the past but now it just doesn't work at all. Just stick with the officially recommended MindTheGapps. It just werks. Afterwards you block most if not all of the spyware.

You should take a look at firefox klare. It's comfy.

Can I please have a shortlist of non-pajeet ROMs? Lineage no longer supports my device (whyred).
Carson Fisher
I'm not sure if you're concern trolling or just incredibly thin-skinned.
What's the alternative? Google Play? Some threadbare piece of shit that will die in six months? Encouraging people to program and compile their own apps as the only way to escape the horrors of real life? Grow up, user.
