[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] pilikia:
Just dirty flashed the LOS17 zip you upped a week ago. I like the newer cleaner security settings. There are some slight "improvements" to the overall gui but the 2 problems I had forced me to flash back to 16.

Firewall went from 'network/data' to 'privacy/firewall' and the somewhat confusing options for background data and unlimited were removed. Other than a slightly changed system gui it kinda broke my phone. Weirdly the bottom left phone button for access to the overview screen, next to the home/fingerprint, back buttons, just stopped working altogether. I was forced to either back out of everything in order to close anything if there wasn't an actual exit button. This also means if I wanted to switch between aps, I couldn't. I had to hit home and then reopen it if I wanted 2 or more aps open. That was the dealkiller. The other was fdroid forcing me to give it full network access in it's settings, both data and wifi. In updates if the 'Over Data" slider was set to never, fdroid refused to connect to the network. Flatout refused! By the time I figured that bs out I got it to throw an error about how one db was older than the other???

I remember just months back when my phone told me that f-droid's owner had an islamic name so that makes sense, not. It seeemd like some kind of db error was thrown and made public. So fdroid refusing to function without being able to update over data makes more sense now. Pretending it has anything to with security is a laugh. If I have to I'll simply bypass fdroid and go straight to the website. I really don't gas.

I use Lawnchair 2.0-2589 and I 'removed' trebuchet (not installed for this user) which well may be the problem but I don't see how. I'm going to run this rom forever because of the basic security aspects but tbh, I'm going to switch to a pinephone running debian asap. Chasing google's horse**** is a complete and utter waste of my friggin time.

Thank You for making undoubtably one of the best rom's anywhere. Hopefully the next iteration of your LOS17 fixes my hardware button issue because if not, this phone will very soon be relegated to a glorified remote control or a usbcam, or something. I despise google personally.

Forgot to mention for those wanting to dirty flash over the 16 version.

Put the magisk zip, the los17 zip, and the supersu16 remove zip in same folder. flash the supersu remover first, the los17 2nd, and the magisk 3rd, THEN reboot. I lost root, had to grab the su remover and boot back into twrp to get a proper root. Lineage OS extras does not incl a supersu17 version. I do not ike being coralled by software on a phone and I will not be forced to do jack google wants. *em. Google like MS et al is their own worst enemy. They are literally putting themselves out of business pretending to be king of squat. But you could have figured that out when Android 5,6,7 was released.

A good example of the hypocrisy is Apple telling everyone your phone is encrypted by default when IN FACT, nothing else is. As soon as your data, call, text, whatever leaves your phone, you're left with the 'security' of the networks themselves. They even said that there are devices which will hack ANY iphone regardless of encryption or OS version (and there's your security-right in the trash-all lies). If communications aren't ALL, and I mean ALL, end to end encrypted, there is no "security", period. Seriously, wgaf if the phone is secure if all your coms aren't? And that is the very reason 5G is being shoved down everyone's throats. It's not so you can grab movies. It's so google et al can grab you. If you disable the advanced lte option the phones will say 5g is disabled. That's undoubtedly a lie too, or will be in google's next version.
