Appreciate your kind efforts. Feels perfectly smooth and stable.
Just a noob question regarding the "Safetynet fixes", my device still cannot pass the CTS (which I assumed would be one of the fixes compared to stock LOS 20). Or may be I misunderstood the whole thing. Thanks.

Thanks for your response!

I've picked "most" of the patches across different ROMs but there might be one or two missing. For time being, you can use Magisk and Zygisk to hide your relevant apps.

For me, using Magisk + Zygisk Hide on Google Play Store gave certified status which is good enough for me. At the moment, I am using ProtonAOSP's related patches (mostly with exception for others) for SafetyNet from Android 12 but it seems Android 13 is bit different. I will take a look into it however I am sure you can get it done easily using Magisk + Zygisk combo for time being.

EDIT: Magisk fixed. Please use builds after 18th February!

is any of these improvements suppose to improve longevity of battery? (except lowering blur, that i can understand ) wondering if this build is for me over default LOS.

possible to see build without google stuff included?

From a non developer's perspective, ROM is quite smooth. Most layers of the code are optimised. There are some functional changes like able to install unsigned packages in recovery which official Lineage doesn't allow.

For battery life, I get maximum 10 hours of screen on time. I never crossed that mark. Usage is no social media and mostly video browsing (means no screen touches with 480p/720p streaming) @ 60HZ/48HZ combo.

Regarding Google Play services, it was a design decision. I like functional changes and hence kept a minimal package that is oriented towards battery life. I had done my fair share of living without Google services and I think modern devices are fairly powerful now.

I had done a comparison with Lineage's recommended MindTheGapps package and I get additional 2 hours of screen on time (maximum 10 hours of screen on time as said before).

profound answer. thank You.

does it mean no plans to release g'less variant?

10 hours is impressive, even with just 60hz. So that means if you do not have the MindTheGapps you have 2 hours extra battery? Or is it 2 more hours if you have the MindTheGapps vs the Google bloat?

Thanks

No plans as such. Building Android 13 is already very costly for me with these optimizations. Building it twice once with and without is something I am not looking forward to simply because of my constrained resources. I do a lot of building outside Lineage too, so simply cannot waste my SSD read/write cycles. Secondly, I already shipped first version with those services built-in. Removing those in next update will cause a lot of problems and could be fixed with clean flash only.

MindTheGapps is a more complete Google services package which includes accessibility and few other components. My minimal built-in package doesn't include those. If you require accessibility services, my recommendation is to use official Lineage with MindTheGapps.

Got it.
Really last question – does this ROM works anything different to LOS regarding UDFPS? (It doesn't seem so, but i prefer to ask since i cannot decode most of the changelog acronyms).

The UDFPS implementation is same as official build, no difference whatsoever except that my build has slightly more screen flashes because the UDFPS implementation doesn't support multi rect correctly. A workaround is present in official build that causes more battery life to be consumed.

For now that workaround is reverted in my build because I'm trying to understand how far it's effect is on battery life.

I don't think you will even notice it if you use 90HZ+ or more as default.

EDIT: Reverted to original Lineage implementation on new release!

Hi @rjawan , please use build from February 19, 2023. It has complete SafetyNet fixes. Remember to remove Magisk as some apps still detect it and banks might app not work because of it. But CTS profile does pass and my bank app works now. Enjoy

Thank you. Amazing work. Works like a charm, just as you said. Passed the CTS test straight away. BTW I am not using Magisk to begin with so have nothing to do on that front. Cheers mate. Thanks.
