Moto g7 play with lineageOS 20 + microg + magisk delta I'm also running adaway and blocking all the tracker activities from my apps using app manager, and of course, using the most FOSS as possible for replacing proprietary apps. It works well, but sadly this phone won't allow me to hide root and the locked bootloader, so no safetynet because of CTS verification.
Edit: if I use hardware attestation disabler on lsposed, it passes
Can you give a little detail how you are blocking the app tracking?
Both with adaway's firewall and app manager to disable trackers, both applications are available on f-droid.
App manager will block most, if not all tracking activities off applications (Google ads, Google firebase Facebook ads, Amazon ads, and other nasty stuff).
If something passes through, it won't be able to send anything to their servers as adaway's firewall will be acting as a middleman blocking the addresses.
Microg also has a part in that, as it sends as little info as possible to google servers, so applications can't properly use it to display ads, or track my activity, if they simply can at all.
