had my doubts about it, but it worked! though i had a bunch of sim connection problems, worked after few reboots. multiple sims management is ass (at least on my samsung phone). i can’t turn-off one SIM and work with the other, the internet tab ui in settings just starts lagging ( and my connection goes out the window). i have to reboot my phone every time i need to change anything in my sim connections. and the saftynet bullshit with whatsapp. otherwise its much better than one ui in terms of performance ( and of course privacy (; )
Nice. Did you relock the bootloader after loading?
I guess barely anyone does:

If you plan on installing LOS and want to lock your bootloader you’ll have to build your own images, that’s not supported by default.

With /e/OS (based on LineageOS), the bootloader can be relocked on Fairphone, Shiftphone, Teracube, and Google Pixel, and they are sold locked by Murena (main developer of /e/OS).

If they crack the passcode, they can start using your user accounts and whatever information is on the phone.
To be precise, the pickpockets don’t crack the phones, they sell to exporters, who sell to China:

Fake location doesn’t work on HERE WeGo maps, therefore probably many other apps:

Na XD
