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.

Here are some suggestions:

  1. Is Shizuku beneficial when I have root already?
  2. LSPosed got archived and to be honest, I don't understand the description.

A Riru / Zygisk module trying to provide an ART hooking framework which delivers consistent APIs with the OG Xposed, leveraging LSPlant hooking framework.

  1. CorePatch seems interesting but also very risky, so I can easily break many things.

Disable signature verification For Android

  1. Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode - I don't think I have a plan to use Recovery Mode, mostly inside the system, but thanks. Are there any advantages to managing it when I have Magisk installed and applied as an app?

Android Auto (through aa4mg, with 3th party app + screen mirror support) I posted instructions for it on the S2A XDA thread:

  1. Android Auto seems like a great one, especially with instructions, thanks!
  2. AdAway - yeah I heard of it, but I have a "VPN socket" already taken by TrackerControl.
  3. MiXplorer is another great one thanks!
  4. LuckyPatcher I have used it before, but never tried it with root.
  5. ViPER4AndroidApp - I don't understand this one, like LSPosed.
  6. XPrivacyLua got archived, but it's a good suggestion.
  7. ForceDark seems like it's abandoned. Moreover, I think there is some experimental thing to force apps to be dark themed.
  8. PixelXpert - I use OnePlus 7 Pro, on Pixel phone I use GrapheneOS.

  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.
