Looks reasonable to me.I guess 5G is no different to 4G for privacy, and can look at any device supported by default Android, that opens up the choice a little but think I will keep running the 7tPro while these builds keep dropping

The Oneplus 7T (hotdogb) and 7T Pro (hotdog) belong to the same device family, but are different devices, requiring different ROMs to flash. This thread is about the 7T Pro (hotdog). DO NOT flash this ROM to a 7T (hotdogb)This applicable on Oneplus 7T as well right or is the partition layout of Oneplus 7T different from that of Oneplus 7T pro?
Works flawlessly here. Thanks again @MSe1969 !
Have run the update for a few days now, as per the norm with your builds it comes without issues

Thanks for the feedback - just a comment: I expect that the OTA updates simply work, my post about the 'error 7' may have been misunderstood.Have had no issues during update or running over the last couple of days.
Just Greeeeat as ever
I don't know as a matter of fact, but I am pretty sure that the answer is no.Does Google Pay work on this build? I am new to custom ROMS and want to distance myself from Google, but I use Gpay on the daily basis.
I know that with LineageOS it is possible to make GPay work, but I am not educated enough to know how they do it. Also, I wish I didn't need to use GPay, but most of the time the only thing I have on me is my phone. Also, if GPay isn't working, I can't use my banking app due to the same check they do behind the hood.I don't know as a matter of fact, but I am pretty sure that the answer is no.
However, I am currently working on a 2nd build variant with the ported "sandbox jail" for Google Play from GrapheneOS and I am looking for volunteers to test that for me (more to follow later today), as I can't do that on my own device, which is my daily driver (and there is no working TWRP for our device being able to decrypt the /data partition on A11), as this would screw up my setup... That thing could be your solution, I think...
EDIT: AFAIK, G*Pay requires passed safety net attestation, which is not the case for this device with this ROM. I have no idea, whether it's possible to pass SN with this device and LineageOS. Maybe others can step in here?
EDIT2: Apart from the technical answers given by me before: distancing from G* on the one hand side, whilst still using G*Pay on a daily basis, is a significant and unsolvable contradiction, so you may want to think about this topic, too...?
G*Pay is deeply integrated with the Google Play services, and this ROM uses microG and not the genuine Google Spy services. Further, G*Pay needs the 'SafetyNet' attestation to pass, and on this device using this ROM, this check fails. There are LineageOS devices (especially with older hardware) still passing 'SafetyNet', as the checks are more relaxed on older hardware, due to compatibility reasons. That is why.I know that with LineageOS it is possible to make GPay work, but I am not educated enough to know how they do it.
Of course, you decide about your life and what is important to you. And everybody has different priorities. I for myself have decided, that I prefer not to use my phone to pay in shops or restaurants. Cash and/or plastic cards work quite well, too. For sure, I don't want "big G*" to spy on all my finance transactions, analyze and profile them and report "suspicious activities" to any US authority.Also, I wish I didn't need to use GPay, but most of the time the only thing I have on me is my phone.
Most probably "SafetyNet", as explained above. That depends of course on each bank, and how they implement two-factor authentication (2FA) etc. - My bank e.g. lets me still use their app for read access, which is fair enough. Using 2FA on the same device voids the whole concept and unfortunately, many banking apps are mainly designed to make it very difficult for security researchers to find and publish all the loopholes rather than implementing proper security, but that is another story.Also, if GPay isn't working, I can't use my banking app due to the same check they do behind the hood.
Thanks for your feedback - I see you have started to think about "big G*", which is good. As said, all up to you and your preferences. Just a general non-technical advice from my side: Maybe somehow consider it similar to fast food vs. healthy nutrition. There is no 'magic pill' to convert fast food into healthy food - if you e.g. understand that too much fast food is not good for you, you have to actively change your diet. This is work, requires to to get familiar with nutrition and alternatives, but at the end, you'll see that you won't really miss the fast food...I am new to this whole custom ROM community, but due to recent things, I really want to distance myself from Google services. Although this build isn't for me, I really love what you are doing, and I appreciate your work. I hope that one day I will be able to use this on my daily driver OP 7T pro.
Volunteers wanted - Test build for 'sandboxed play services'
Hi all,
I have created (and also briefly tested myself on a different device) a test build of this ROM with an Android 11/LineageOS 18.1 port of GrapheneOS's Sandboxed Play services .
[...]
I would be interested to see, to what extent this approach is usable and whether this would be interesting for you as an offered 2nd build variant or not.
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks & regards - M.
Me neither for now, as I have already mentioned (major reason is that I don't want to wipe my device) - so this is not for everyone, but it may be interesting for some people.I won't use it, I prefer if Google Play doesn't run on my device.
https://microg.org/ and https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/microg/ might give you more insight on that.Even if I have no precise idea what it takes to MicroG to run properly; maybe it shares already too much information with the mothership.
When I was playing around with AA (scroll back in this thread), I wasn't too impressed either - wasn't e.g. too much amused about the requirement to install G*Maps and have it actively spying your location, while using AA, even if you weren't using it or even had a different GPS app...And even if I'd really want to have Android Auto work on my device (even better, an AA lookalike that enables Organic Maps to run on my car head unit).
Thank you very much for accuracy and steadyness. All works fluently and as how it should do.New build with October 2022 ASB patches available

.Thanks for the hint - depends on my time, mood and how easy it will be to port the specific features of this ROM...Hello @MSe1969 , I am very happy with this ROM, it works perfectly! I saw that Lineage OS 19 just came out, when will we see the update of Android 12 of this ROM?
