[OFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for the Nexus 6

[xuxu1]

Just to partially answer my question:
Using Magisk can solve this issues.

How can I safely install Magisk?

I found some instructions like:
1) Download magisk.apk
2) rename it to magisk.zip
3) sideload this .zip file from TWRP
4) install magisk.apk

Do these steps also work under Lineage 18.1?

Yes, this steps also work under Lineage 18.1.
After installing magisk install you also need to install safetynet-fix-v2.3.1-MOD_2.0

Then disable wifi (and mobile data) and delete data of play service and playstore. Reboot your device, enable internet access again and your device should be verified.

Thank you for the detailed answer.
I did it already and got the phone Play certified.
However, Netflix and Disney+ still do not work.
I deleted them completely and reinstalled, had sadly no effect.

What could be the reason?

The reason is propably that the apps still can see that your device is rooted.
You can hide Magisk this way:
1. Go to Magisk Settings and hide manager
2. Enable zygisk
3. Install following magisk module Shamiko-v0.6-126-release.zip
4. Reboot
5. Go to magisk settings and add Netflix and Disney+ to Denylist. "Enforce Denylist" has to be disabled.
6. Delete data of Netflix and Disney+

There hasn't been a build of Lineage 18.1 for shamu since the 12th of November 2022. There are many changes to be included in the next build. Is the build engine stuck for shamu?

No, shame builds monthly. It builds at the end of each month or near it.

I should have realized that the builds are monthly. I didn't notice the date sequence for prior builds. Sorry for missing this. Thanks.

Nope. We have kernel 3.10 without BPF support, so we can't ever properly run anything over 18.1 officially.

It will always have broken net traffic stats, app isolation, data restrictions, etc.

Seems BPF backport has been carried out cf. Post in thread '[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 20.0 for Nexus 6' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-unofficial-lineageos-20-0-for-nexus-6.4505709/post-87871445

It is promising. It needs weeks of work to make it proper, but will look. Not sure if I have time nowadays.
