So I'm on an unofficial build of LineageOS 16 with TWRP, Magisk, F-Droid, microG, and EDeXposed. I want to update to the LineageOS 17.1 build from microG. What would be the safest way to do this? I would like to keep my installed apps if possible. I'm currently on a Linux computer but I do have access to Windows.
Since I have TWRP can I just wipe my phone and install the new ROM directly from there? Presumably then just reinstalling Magisk and my other apps with Titanium or something?

Hello,
i would try to install MicroG on my Xperia Z3.
Has anyone an idea how can i install it correct? Any chance to remove all Gapps with all lib files for an clean beginning? I use the root Xperia Z3 concept Software.
The only way to clean it completely is to flash a clean ROM.
But to only removing conflicting GApps and install microG you can use microG unofficial installer.
Hi,
this is my first time to ask for help because I can't find all the requirements and suggestions in time.
I have a OnePlus One with the following setup:
Code:
Android OS: 6.0.1
Cyanogen OS-Version: 13.1-ZNH2KAS1KN
CyanogenMod API-Level: Elderberry (5)
Android Securitypatch-Level: June 2016
Build Number: MHC19Q
rooted
Xposed Framework (mostly for Greenify)
This ROM is outdated and I want to change to LineageOS 14.1
Before I update I have some questions:
Can I flash the pico opengapps without problems?
I'd like to be able to play Pokemon Go again, so I need to install Magisk, any suggestions?
As far as I know there is no working solution for root + Xposed framework + Magisk + SafetyNet bypass
Should I use Greenify in root mode or switch to another app?
Can I use Titanium Backup to restore my app data after the update? I read something about that restoring apps after the update is dangerous, but if I install the apps through the play store and restore only the data?
I hope you can help me with some questions
Edit:
I solved it.
I backed everything up using Titanium Backup + SMS Backup/Restore + Slight Backup + TWRP Backup
Updated TWRP to 3.1.1.0
Wipe everything except Internal Storage
Flash LineageOS 14.1 --> Error 7 (E3003)
Downgraded TWRP to 3.1.0.0 + reboot
Flash LineageOS 14.1 --> OK
Flash open gapps pico
Flash Magisk v12
Installed wanted apps from Playstore + recovered data only with Titanium Backup
Everything is working fine.
Xposed framework doesn't exist for Android N
Magisk with proper configurations passes safetynet too. So I guess you can play Pokemon go.
No idea about Titanium backup but I wouldn't suggest you to overwrite data from a previous Android version. You are upgrading from Marshmallow to Nougat, it's not an OTA. So anything can go wrong.
The Planet Computers ROM is pretty much bone stock, but with the improvements that allow the Gemini to function like a phone.
Right now I'm rooted with TWRP and running Xposed modules no problem, and it's about as stock an experience as you can get. You're able to use Gravity Box, etc with no issues whatsoever. The Xposed you need is arm64 sdk25 and the rooted boot-verified.img is provided on Planet Computers' website.
All you need to do is:
Flash stock rom with replaced rooted boot-verified.img through FlashTool
Boot ROM and enable USB Debugging
Throw MagiskManager apk, Xposed apk, Xposed flashable zip on internal storage
Install MagiskManager in Android
Turn off phone and flash TWRP through FlashTool
Boot to recovery (hold down power button and Gemini assist button as phone boots until TWRP appears, then release)
Flash Xposed through TWRP
Reboot phone and install Xposed Installer apk
Profit
Lineage is nice, but unless Gemini fails to update in a timely manner and we can get newer and complete builds from flashing Lineage, I'm going to stick with this process.
Is it possible to remove the gapps and google libs with that process?

I managed to remove Browser, Chrome (these two browsers need to go together) , Hangouts, Duo, Keep, Youtube adn several others through Titanium Backup on rooted android with TWRP and Magisk, os I think so. I mainly went for applications cluttering the Play store, but I think may more can be removed. some might be crucial though.
Is it possible to root WIFI only device using the same procedure?
That is by replacing rooted boot-verified.img in the firmware and reflashing?
After reading several threads, and muddling through a lot of the information, I finally managed to successfully install the MIUI EU ROM with no bootlooping, or other issues. This guide is specifically for installation with microG (since I'm trying to stay away from Google!). If you have additional tips, please add it to the thread, and I will try and update the OP as needed....
Please note that this guide assumes that you can perform basic stuff (like installing ADB drivers, installing TWRP, etc.).
Pre-requisities:
Unlocked bootloader
Latest TWRP (v11) or CN TWRP installed on phone
Working ADB connection between phone and PC
Pre-installation:
Download Nanodroid and Nanodroid patcher latest version - must have this on the PC
Download Magisk latest version - must have this on the PC
Download latest MIUI EU ROM - must have this on the PC
Using TWRP, create a full backup of your current setup (just in case!)
Using Titanium/Migrate/whatever backup all programs, settings, etc.
Backup phone (the 128 Gb part!) to PC - This is ESSENTIAL, since the next steps will result in all data on the phone being wiped!
Installation:
Boot into TWRP and wipe System, Data, Caches and Storage (I usually wipe three times for good measure!)
In TWRP, select Wipe>Format Data, type in "yes" and format the entire phone (this is to get rid of encryption)
Reboot into TWRP
From the PC, copy the downloaded MIUI EU ROM to the phone
Using TWRP, install the ROM
Reboot system
Do the initial set up, enable Developer settings, set up ADB, etc.
Reboot into TWRP
Copy Nanodroid patcher, Nanodroid, and Magisk to phone
Using TWRP, use the Nanodroid patcher to patch system.jar to enable signature spoofing support (since the EU ROM is deodexed, this should work with no issues)
Reboot into TWRP (probably not required, but this is what I did!)
Install Nanodroid
Reboot into system
Setup microG
Reboot into TWRP
Install Magisk
Reboot into system
Continue on to debloating apps, restoring backups, etc.
You are trying to stay away from google but you use Android ...Nice.
Struck at patcher
Hello mate, I am trying to install it on my note 7 pro device. I am struck at nanodroid patcher; it gives me error "failed to apply patches". Did you try microg on newer miui eu rom? Do I have to do additional steps? Thanks for your guide though!
So, it's the same procedure of a custom ROM?

Using open source parts only is definitely better than anything Google proprietary, I believe?

+1. I used to trust Google somewhat. I no longer trust them at all.
You need more read about AOSP and GMS, this is good way to hardening stalking from Google. I know Google have keys from Android system like every developers, but cant using our data for ads and marketing (and more) when we are not using proprietary apps and frameworks where we have to accept licence agreement. (SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH)
HI,
is google playstore working?
Using this method will GP works ? Contacts sync, chrome sync etc ?
Hello everybody, I am new to this wonderful community.
I decided to write this post after over 24hours spent on trying to solve this issue:
I have a Galaxy S6 G920F.
I flashed TWRP through Odin, and bypassed dm-verity.
I then formatted the memory and installed LineageOS 16 for my device, from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/lineageos-16-hwc-fixed-download-t3970729
Then installed Google Apps stock arm 64.
Then flashed Magisk.
After that, I flashed NetHunter from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...s6-nougat-aosp-kernel-nethunter-t3671858/amp/ Android Pie Version.
It installed succesfully but didn t install any apps, just the wallpaper. I then proceeded to install the nethunter apps manually, but had many problems and ultimately could not install chroot and cannot get Busybox to be recognized by nethunter.
I then realized that Magisk could be the issue, so I formatted and started over, trying to use SuperSu instead of Magisk, but no luck so far. It flashes succesfully but when i open the app, no root acces is found. Then i started over and tried with the LOS SU addon, but then nethunter cannot see root access.
I have started over dozen of times and I am really stuck. Some help would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much,
Daniel
