Lineage on a Xiaomi redmi 10 pro, everything working perfectly (also dual SIM and SD card + headphone jack) get about 2 days battery life. Though it's quite old now so I've no idea if it is as good as a OP5 or not lol Running https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases on magisk to allow for things like NFC payments using Google wallet etc. The way you have to hide from apps is a bit weird these days using magisk filters, but other than that the entire thing has been set and forget, and I've not had any issues

Adding to the list of things that you can do with root on Android: - App Manager[1] has a powerful feature that lets you disable trackers in every single app on the device. (Menu > 1-Click Ops > Block/unblock trackers) - Neo Backup[2] is the most comprehensive backup app on Android, with automatic scheduling. It lets you back up and restore anything you want, including app data that the developer labeled "no_backup". - Install and upgrade apps from third-party app stores without needing to manually confirm each installation. Extremely useful for Aurora Store[3] and Neo Store.[4] - Universal SafetyNet Fix,[5] combined with MagiskHide Props Config[6] and Magisk,[7] allows you to spoof SafetyNet on your device to improve compatibility with apps that check for it, including some banking apps, commerce apps, and games. > trusting Magisk, going

without Clockwork Mod on many platforms, eschewing security updates I have no problem trusting Magisk[7] as a free and open source Android rooting solution. ClockworkMod Recovery has been discontinued for years. The most advanced Android recovery is TWRP,[8] and TWRP is not needed to root the device with Magisk. I don't know what you mean by "eschewing security updates" since rooting Android does not prevent you from receiving security updates.

If you rooted it via Magisk, the DenyList feature and the module "Universal SafetyNet Fix" should help you out [0]. If you're running a custom firmware, you might need to resort to patching the device properties [1]. Still, it's utterly absurd how many apps go to extremely long lengths just to tell me they don't like me having root access to my own f..ing phone, including Samsung's Watch interface app. The only situation where I can at least understand the reasons are DRM and cheaters in f2p games.

It's still possible to use XPrivacyLua (https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua) with passing SafetyNet. It's a cat-and-mouse game, but the community is still ahead. You can achieve this with latest Magisk (v24+, https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk), enabled Zygisk and following modules: - LSposed Zygisk (https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed, fork of Xposed) - Universal SafetyNet Fix (https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix) - Shamiko [optional, more hiding but needs configuration] (https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed.github.io)
