Dunno, I asked you whether it's there.
You can use framework-patcher regardless of whether the ROM is pre-patched, btw.
Am I mistaken, or are all the apps you mention also installed? I'd prefer not to have a preconfigured list of apps. Is there a way to customize what apps are installed? Even better, to install F-Droid only here?
Yes, they are magic mounted, but can be disabled. Though that includes FDroid, too. See 'Alter Installation' in first post. I may opt-in to separate FDroid install into it's own option, though.
logcat is a shell command, readily available. For UI you may use apps likr Catlog or Material Log.
