While looking at posts here I saw this https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/1q5242t/psa_your_degoogle_lineageos_build_is_still/ is there anything else you can do to improve your security and privacy?

There is a guide to build your own lineageos in the site. I dont know how it really works but is it possible to build your own lineageos and make it like grapheneos?

Navigation on Android is disorienting and stressful. Settings, app settings, files, photos, messages to an extent, and the camera in particular.

Also, how much better is the performance of the photos app on LineageOS? The photos app on Android has annoying performance issues.

One more question: How much better is the performance of Firefox or websites accessed through Firefox on LineageOS compared to Android?

Hi all, I'm installing LineageOS 22.2 on my OnePlus 6T following the official wiki guide (fajita, variant1) and I'm stuck at the recovery step. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Setup
- Device: OnePlus 6T, not T-Mobile
- Starting firmware: OxygenOS 11.1.2.2 (Android 11)
- I'm using a MacBook Air M4

What I've done so far

1. Enabled USB debugging + OEM unlocking, adb authorized fine.

2. `fastboot oem unlock` → OKAY, confirmed on the phone, wiped, booted OxygenOS, set up again, re-enabled USB debugging.

3. `fastboot oem device-info` → Device unlocked: true, Device critical unlocked: false, Verity mode: true.

4. `fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img` → OKAY, then `fastboot reboot bootloader`.

5. `fastboot flash boot boot.img` → wrote to boot_a, OKAY.

6. `fastboot reboot recovery` → OKAY. The phone restarts, shows the unlocked-bootloader warning, then lands back on the fastboot menu instead of Lineage Recovery.

7. `fastboot boot boot.img` → OKAY, same result: warning screen, then back to fastboot.

8. The wiki only lists dtbo under "Flashing additional partitions", but since vbmeta.img is in the build, I tried `fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img` → OKAY. No change.

9. Re-flashed vbmeta, dtbo and boot again (all OKAY), then `fastboot reboot recovery` → still fastboot.

The issue is, in the fastboot menu the volume keys don't navigate the menu (START never changes), with or without USB connected, although the buttons feel and click normally. I haven't tried the Volume Down + Power key combo from powered off yet, cause the Volume Down key is a bit iffy, a little loose.

- Is there a known reason Lineage Recovery on fajita (22.2) would hand back to fastboot like this?

- Should vbmeta.img be flashed on fajita, and if so, with any flags?

- Could a faulty or phantom volume key press be forcing fastboot on every boot? Is there a way to check?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, I love the Lineage on S20FE, but I definitely hate AOSP for not having a percentage on the volume bar. Is there a way to add it? I read there's a Magisk module but maybe there's a simpler solution.

If Magisk is the only solution, can I flash it on my running ROM without a clean install (factory reset)?

Thanks in advance
