        I also do that because it lets me

        • limit charging with ACC
        • use microG as network location provider (microg installer revived)
        • fix SafetyNet
        • YouTube ReVanced
        • Make using other App stores easier (updating can happen automatically in more recent Android versions, but first installs still require confirmation outside the Play Store)

          MicroG doesn’t require root

          Also Charging control is now part of Android 15

          Root can be a huge security risk. Be very careful and always stay updated with the latest security patches.

            Yes, microG works without root, however to get it working as a network location provider you either need it installed as system app (for example LOS4microg) or patch android to allow non-system apps for providing network location.

            There’s an official patch, also mentioned in the Install Guide and it’s basically the reason for microg_installer and its revived fork existing.

            I could use LOS4microg, which does include the patch, but builds are run much less frequently (once a month instead of weekly) and I’d rather stick to original Lineage.

            Thanks for pointing out charging control, I wasn’t aware of that new feature. One more reason to upgrade LOS my phone

        I did not give it much thought really, I just wanted my previously rooted phone with no google things. But mainly the SafetyNet thing.

          If you are either A) bootloader unlocked or B) using a custom ROM via an exploit, your system is freely open to modification by a physical attacker, regardless.

        Graphene os for security, lineage os is for debloated aosp experience, root is for things like wifite2 on smartphone, cheat engine like apps on smartphone, deep control of your smartphone and etc
