LineageOS for MicroG (microg.org)

This is available for every phone with official LineageOS support - and that’s a lot of phones. There’s a good chance yours is among them.

I’ve used it for a while and it may well be the best microG experience available (definitely the best I’ve had vs. multiple self-installs via Magisk modules).

If you want degoogled Android that just works, this is your best bet.

P.S.: Mind that this is just as good as microG gets - which is good, but not perfect. Issues with Google Maps are common and some apps (Jodel) just won’t start at all, but apart from these small caveats it’s definitely usable. Btw: Covid-19 exposure notifications work.


Hmm, how will this differ from /e/os?


/e/ is coupled with /e/'s cloud ecosystem replacement for some Google services, whereas Lineage for microG is ecosystem agnostic.


At the very least - LOS has more supported phones.
