[LineageOS News & Discussion] Ciprum:
As others have said, LineageOS is likely as secure as stock Android, probably even moreso. It often icludes more recent security patches, and it's open source. If I were you I would definitely go for the LOS.

But rooting can be a bit problematic. To be perfectly clear, rooting almost certainly does NOT create any additional security holes on it's own. If you root your phone without using shady Chinese software you are good.

However the rooting becomes a problem when you don't know what you're doing. If you accidentally allow root access to a malicious app you are 100% screwed. That's why people say rooting is dangerous. It's only dangerous if you misuse it. But the great thing is that you can just unroot your phone and you will be good to go.
[LineageOS News & Discussion] jiml8:
I am late to this party, but I will comment anyway because computer security is a big part of what I do for a living, and android security is important to me because I am a rather militant privacy advocate and I use an android phone.

So.

If you want to fully secure the android system, and guarantee your privacy, you have to root the phone. Period. Full stop. There are many apps out there that require root to run that will greatly enhance your privacy and security. Afwall and Greenify are two that immediately come to mind.

That said, if you root your phone and you don't know what you are doing, you can indeed leave your phone in a very vulnerable state, without knowing it.

The basic issue is that, when you root, you gain complete and total access to the device. You can add or change or delete literally anything on the phone. This enables you to screw it up in a big way, and this also makes it easy for certain malware to take complete control of the device.

Now, there is malware out there which will silently root your phone for you, then take control, and you actually can block this malware by rooting it yourself and installing a root manager. But most malware does not do that and by rooting your phone then exposing it to that malware, you give the malware a level of access it would never have if the phone was not rooted.

For safety, unless you are technically sophisticated, you should not root. This limits YOUR access to your device, and keeps you from hosing it, and also limits what most malware can do. But it also prevents you from removing some built-in software that you don't want or that is spying on you, and it limits your ability to restrict the activity of some software that you want to have running, but you don't want to have able to do certain things.

In many ways the android phone is not built to serve YOUR interests; it is built to serve Google's interests, and the interests of those third parties who have paid money to have their apps placed on it by default. The facebook app immediately springs to mind; no one should have that malicious POS on their device because it sells you out completely. Unless you root, you cannot make the phone solely serve your interests.

LineageOS gives you the capability to turn root on, then turn it back off. Thus, using LOS, you can enable root, remove those noxious apps, and turn root off again. This, to my mind, is a decent compromise. Nonetheless, root is present on the phone and if you leave it on you can both (a) lock that phone down tight and make it fully secure, and (b) hose it completely if you make a mistake, and (c) leave it more vulnerable than stock if you don't know what you are doing.

So those who tell you that rooting is a bad idea...are more or less right. For most people, they are right. If you want a fully secure android, then you have to both root AND thoroughly educate yourself, which takes a lot of effort.

So, you decide.

Any word on LineageOS 17 for the Nexus 6?

Security does not equal privacy. Stock ROM is for those who are willing to sacrifice privacy for security and functionality.

Graphene and Lineage are for these people

I don't know whom to support. But I don't care whose gonna takeover the official tag. All 3 builds are good. If it is in good hands then no worries.

Ram management is too bad.. i have only 450mb of 3gb Ram left without doing anything.. please look into it as soon as possible dev. In pixel experience I was getting at least 1gb of free ram. May be it's the kernel problem.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Achal09:
Flash 3GB fix bro!

Edit: 3GB fix attached. You can flash it on any kernel on any rom.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SnehashisModak:
Have you tried this bro??...

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

@pranavkpr please fix the ram management issue in the next update
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] pranavkpr:
This is totally wrong way of checking "ram management"

Android is very efficient in managing ram.. Cleaning up whenever required

Ram is there to be used

Not to be kept free...Free ram is waste

Kernel is tweaked in a way to use ram to it's fullest so more apps stay in memory
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Achal09:
I agree on what dev said here. Ram is there is utilize not to keep it free it's like having a cup but not using it to drink tea or coffee. You can flash the fix i provided but that won't free up your ram that may help you utilize the ram more correctly.

Edit: To answer your question i used it earlier in oje of the rom where there was ram management issue especially for 3GB variant to fix that someone created this fix. I appreciate whoever has created this.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] pranavkpr:

[MENTION=9434189]pranavkpr[/MENTION] I installed the latest zip on 21st July, morning. It was quite impressive and seemed all ok. But as the time passes, my phone got heated and was lagging. (3gb variant). I was using Gaana and WhatsApp only. Other than system apps I installed only WhatsApp Gaana and YouTube. At first I thought restart will solve my problem but it hadn't. Today it took 1min to open WhatsApp. Just imagine how much it was lagging. Reverted back to Pixel experience

First of all thanks to the developer for this awesome ROM. I really like the combination of stock pixel ROM + customisation.

Everything which I use is working in the latest build but there are some issues which are

1. There is a big lag when I open settings app and specifically settings->Display & settings->digital wellbeing. It takes 1-2 sec to open.

2. When I change device theme from light to dark and vice versa or change accent colour it takes 4-5 sec to apply.

Hope [MENTION=9434189]pranavkpr[/MENTION] will fox this in next build.

Lastly there is feature request Can you add an option in settings->display settings -> device theme like theme will change automatically based on the time of day.

Again Thanks for this great ROM.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PaulDanny:
There is an issue with data disabled icon in status bar.

When i turn on data in sim 1 then after 1-3 sec data disable icon disappears for both sim 1 and sim 2. And when I turn off data in sim 1 then data disable icon appears for both sim.

Hope this will get fix in next update.
