Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I also do that because it lets me

    • limit charging with ACC
    • use microG as network location provider (microg installer revived)
    • fix SafetyNet
    • YouTube ReVanced
    • Make using other App stores easier (updating can happen automatically in more recent Android versions, but first installs still require confirmation outside the Play Store)

    MicroG doesn't require root

    Also Charging control is now part of Android 15

    Root can be a huge security risk. Be very careful and always stay updated with the latest security patches.

    Yes, microG works without root, however to get it working as a network location provider you either need it installed as system app (for example LOS4microg) or patch android to allow non-system apps for providing network location.

    There's an official patch, also mentioned in the Install Guide and it's basically the reason for microg_installer and its revived fork existing.

    I could use LOS4microg, which does include the patch, but builds are run much less frequently (once a month instead of weekly) and I'd rather stick to original Lineage.

    Thanks for pointing out charging control, I wasn't aware of that new feature. One more reason to upgrade LOS my phone
