Hi, I have a Moto x4 Android One. I would like to block foreground data on certain apps, this can be done by no root firewall like Netguard but this only works when Netguard is running. I thought about root the phone and install AFWall+ but OTA update will be a messy process. Does LineageOS 16 support foreground data restriction and OTA update? Thx

I rooted my moto g titan with twrp and installed cm13 to avoid device slowness. Now I want to know about the securities of the devices. Because when i googled for bank app security, personal data security and some forum said that jailbreak/rooted devices are very dangerous for this app and personal data like password and all.Is it true or they right about this?Because i love my device after rooting but in the other hand afraid of this stealing data thread.I have installed my banking app,whatsapp,gmail etc.Please help me is there any process to keep rooted device from stealing data.If it is true.
Root your device will let your app have more permission to read your data so your personal data may in danger with some unknown apps.
As the above post said.
When rooted it gives certain apps more permissions to your phone.
But only when rooted as I've read in many discussions such as that of Kaspersky Internet Security etc where they have mantioned malware apps which can take info from your phone without root.
Basic precautions :
Just browse safely : install adaway or use an adblock browser
Install an anitvirus and use Kaspersky internet Security (if you're paranoid about your bank details being stolen).
Use Google for more info.
So it's all about precautions...
Thanks a lot though
All root applications need to be systemless to work on EMUI 9.1, old/classic root methods do not work anymore with the newest EMUI 9.1.
EMUI 9.1 introduces the EROFS filesystem for system partitions, which is a strictly read-only file system. This means no write support for anything using root to alter system files, you cannot permanently delete any system apps anymore. However, disabling system apps and bloatware is still possible.
Root features which aren't systemless such as the default hostfile adblocking (e.g. Adaway), root uninstallers, rw root file explorers, converting user apps to system apps, these all can't make (permanent) system changes anymore.
To make the adblocking work again in 9.1 you need to enable the Systemless hosts option in the Magisk Manager as a fix, reboot, and then apply the hostfile.
This also mean if you previously were running FakeGAPPS edxposed module with MicroG you can't do this anymore, as you can't uninstall the original gapps, therefore the MicroG the app signatures will conflict with microg, making it impossible to install. Edit: there is a systemless MicroG which runs instead of the system installed gapps, it's available in the Magisk manager (you still need edxposed and fakegapps for signature spoofing).
It makes me worry for EMUI 10/Android Q, Huawei really doesn't like custom software running on their phones.

It is for this reason that I quickly turned around and replaced 9.1 with 9.0. I am even looking at going to Oreo to be able to use TWRP. That will allow more flexibility instead of being restricted to how much one can customize his or her own phone. 9.1 may become unpopular with Huawei users.

Honestly, this update looks to me more like an update for Huawei and to push their own ecosystem, Huawei services and their HiVoice/HiTouch/HiWhatever crap even more, than it is an update for the users. They are trying to replace everything google with their own alternative and I don't think it's because they will play nice with my data and will be different than Google.
I also have a Huawei smartwatch if I set in the Huawei Health app that I live in the EU then I have to login with a Huawei account to use it, if I say I live in the USA I can still use it without logging in. Soon I might have a brick around my arm because I need an account to use my self-bought device unless I send all my health data straight to China. (To pair my GT watch to my phone I have to send my location or it won't link lmao)
I have the feeling they will start to hide more and more features behind a login screen to access, I am not a hypocrite, I don't use anything Google either, but I feel like I have less and less control over my data and phone... It's really a shame that the custom OpenKirin roms use a generic Huawei camera apk which isn't as good as the stock EMUI one and have some annoying papercut bugs (the OpenKirin developers are still amazing though for giving us a choice and creating a custom rom alternative).
When I bought my Mate 10 Pro you could still unlock your bootloader, and it seemed like it could be a popular device for tech enthusiast and they surgically killed all attempts to modify your own device since then...
And so we never got the big amazing community here that could have been supporting these phones, like the Oneplus phones.
Mostly we have been getting Magisk and all other nice features despite Huawei trying to being as difficult, and because of amazing developers who took the extra time to support EMUI.
I like the phone, it's great hardware, fast, amazing camera, a bit slippery and glassy to hold (but I have a decal on the back), but I wouldn't buy it again, or a different Huawei device for that matter. It's just much effort to do anything for me when you can do the same thing in twrp in two minutes.

Also it seems like you can install MicroG systemlessly through the Magisk Manager as module which 'overwrites' the gapps systemlessly.

Do you mind sharing how you downgraded back to 9.0? I am trying to downgrade my Mate 10 pro BLA-29 C432 from 9.1 to 9.0 or lower. Thanks

HiSuite lets you do that:
Update -> Switch to other version -> you'll get Earlier versions tab.

Do you know if that this method will lock my bootloader? I am trying to avoid relocking my bootloader.

IT is not working anymore, at this moment.
Hello, recently got myself a new pixel 4 from Google and using it on Verizon without issue. I've yet to root but I'm getting ready to do it. From what I've read, it's a little bit of a pain once you root to get the monthly security updates installed, but I will probably do it anyways. The main thing I read is that you cant modify system files in any way. The main reason I want to root is for WiFi hotspot and maybe to run AdAway. AdAway can be used with systemless hosts once set on magisk, but the method for hotspot is as follows
Modify Build.Prop as follows
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
And then adb shell
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
But if I run these commands in ADB won't I be modifying the system directly and therefore would be botching my phone from being able to take monthly security updates?
My last phone was an HTC 10 on Android 7... Soooo, this phone and the dual partition and Android 10 are all new to me. Apologize if this is an elementary question. I ultimately want WiFi hotspot, GPay, NetFlix, etc. and the ability to easily get security updates. Just not sure how to proceed. TIA.
I don't think you can root Android 10 yet, right?

sure you can with magisk
The Magisk repository module "MagiskHide Props Config" will allow you to set arbitrary build.prop settings systemlessly.
I haven't been keeping up with the news, but you might want to do some research about GPay and SafetyCheck API always failing if your bootloader is unlocked by the user. (Google started using a capability they've had for years but did not use)
I'm cleaning up my ROG Phone 3 for playing PUBG Mobile. So i want to ask which debloat solution is best for performance and cleanliness? (BTW i saw that some methods may cause Basic Integrity (part of SafetyNet attest) to fail. And passing SafetyNet is must for me) My phone has unlocked bootloader, rooted with magisk and i can install TWRP if needed.
The ROG 3 stock rom can be fully debloated and cleaned up for blazing fast performance and battery life. Using a tool like App Manager (download from F-Droid) with root access is a good start in addition to the basic stuff like only allowing the few apps that you need to run in the background, etc. The app I just mentioned provides deep level of control for each app.
For SafetyNet: I pass and can hide root from each and every app (including some the toughest banking apps and games) with a Magisk 23 + SafetyNet Fix 2.1.1 + LSPosed & XPrivacy and with no performance hit. Should note that I run Android 10 and Magisk 23 and won't upgrade. I don't know how well it works on the latest firmware and Magisk versions (Magisk 24 no longer has Magisk Hide)
Re. debloating - are you just freezing bloatware or uninstalling it?
Any ADB based debloat solutions?
