Safety of Device might be broken

Device Safety net

Prerequisities Before installing the Costom Rom be ready to have problems

• Play Integrity
• SafetyNet (deprecated)

Bypassing Google SafetyNet is not explicitly illegal, but it can lead to account restrictions or suspensions from services that rely on SafetyNet for security purposes. Google's policies discourage actions intended to bypass restrictions, and sharing apps or content that have been suspended due to such policies can result in further restrictions.

If you have further doubts on our stance on circumvention of Play Integrity, we have a blog post which explains further.

Quirks - Device integrity

• Play Integrity
• SafetyNet (deprecated)

Therefore, any apps that depend on some kind of device integrity checks passing, will not work on OS, and while there might be some ways to bypass these checks, we neither support nor endorse any of them.

LineageOS on Google Pixel 4a (sunfish)

Warning: The provided instructions are for LineageOS 22.1. These will only work if you follow every section and step precisely. Do not continue after something fails!

Basic requirements

• Read through the instructions at least once before actually following them, so as to avoid any problems due to any missed steps!
• Make sure your computer has adb and fastboot. Setup instructions can be found here.
• Enable USB debugging on your device.
• Boot your device with the stock OS at least once and check every functionality.

Warning: Make sure that you can send and receive SMS and place and receive calls (also via WiFi and LTE, if available), otherwise it won’t work on LineageOS either! Additionally, some devices require that VoLTE/VoWiFi be utilized once on stock to provision IMS.

Remove all Google accounts from your device to avoid “Factory reset protection”

LineageOS is provided as-is with no warranty. While we attempt to verify everything works you are installing this at your own risk!

GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility developed as a non-profit open source project. It's focused on the research and development of privacy and security technology including substantial improvements to sandboxing, exploit mitigations and the permission model. It was founded in 2014 and was formerly known as CopperheadOS.

GrapheneOS improves the privacy and security of the OS from the bottom up. It deploys technologies to mitigate whole classes of vulnerabilities and make exploiting the most common sources of vulnerabilities substantially more difficult. It improves the security of both the OS and the apps running on it. The app sandbox and other security boundaries are fortified. GrapheneOS tries to avoid impacting the user experience with the privacy and security features. Ideally, the features can be designed so that they're always enabled with no impact on the user experience and no additional complexity like configuration options. It's not always feasible, and GrapheneOS does add various toggles for features like the Network permission, Sensors permission, restrictions when the device is locked (USB-C / pogo pins, camera, quick tiles), etc. along with more complex user-facing privacy and security features with their own UX.

The features page provides an overview of the substantial privacy and security improvements added by GrapheneOS to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Many of our past features were contributed to AOSP, Linux and other projects to improve privacy and security for billions of users so they're no longer listed on our features page.
