I have OnePlus 7 Pro that I successfully flashed with LineageOS 21 with MicroG. Do you have some interesting apps or ideas to take advantage of it? I thought of some Magisk modules. Maybe someone is more experience than me! This is the spare smartphone, the main one is GrapheneOS, so I don’t mind breaking stuff.

    1. Shizuku can run as root,
      and has some advantages compared to giving apps root directly (e.g. it’s faster)
    2. LSPosed is indeed archived however it still works. It is the continuation of XPosed, a framework which allows modules to hook into functions of applications, to run custom code before/after them. These kind of modules allow for additional modification options which are not possible with normal Magisk modules.
    3. CorePatch makes it easy to install modified applications over stock ones, without needing to uninstall / wiping the apps data. Just make sure to not install modified versions of system apps and you should be fine.
    4. It’s mostly used to recover yourself from bootloops when testing out new Magisk/Xposed modules, since if the phone bootloops, you can still disable the module that caused it from your custom recovery.
    5. It can make extended use of root + xposed, allowing it to auto-hook into applications, without needing to patch / install modified applications
    6. Very advanced audio tweaking software, can make 20$ headphones sound like 200$ headphones with the right tweaking.
    7. Is an Xposed module to turn apps dark which do not natively support dark themes, still works nicely, however not on all apps.
