Yeah I've thinking about that as well for like since I found this.
Me wanting to try out custom ROMs (because I haven't done this ever) is probably what's fueling my decision to go with it, even though it might be unsafe.
Getting around Google’s attestation with an unlocked bootloader requires root - I believe the go-to is Magisk and the Play Integrity Fix module.
I'm planning on using KernelSU, because I asked on the Magisk subreddit and it's unironically what they recommended. I looked around here and it solidified my decision even more.
The recommended way for me to install it goes like install custom recovery > install custom ROM > somehow flash preferred rooting solution in recovery > install preferred rooting solution as an app. link
The video guy is talking bollocks: plus he has about 50 crypto links to pay the wanker.
Really. Most of the videos I've seen of him are really solid. Plus, I do think the tips he gave are good (that's why I linked it in the first place) besides this:
He talks about “Removing bloatware Google packages” from Lineage, there are no bloatware google packages in lineage.
Yeah if you didn't install GAPPS you wouldn't get any, well... Google apps in the first place. Besides this part, I do think the others make sense because they are making connections with Google.
Captive Portal is simple to disable using adb. Its not scary.
Yeah.
Also I'm wondering about whether to disable this or not, like wouldn't it break functionality?
you can change your dns rather than rely on your carriers DNS. I use Mullvad DNS
Yeah I'm also using Mullvad DNS everywhere since I discovered it in like 2024.
not much info on itel-p55-5g on xda
Yep, I already looked everywhere. The Sourceforge repo and the Telegram group was all I found.
Yeah it kinda contradicts with my goal, but really, my ultimate goal was just to debloat my phone. I just learned degoogling from learning debloating so I thought I might as well do that. (the debloating plan I had since 2021 has brought me into this deep rabbit hole of privacy, Linux and many many more)
I'd honestly rather use anything than the stock ones at this point.
Yeah when I have the money I'm planning on buying a Poco phone as well. I heard they're good for custom ROMs (as in supported by many devs), and it's the cheapest and good option for custom ROMs.
