opengapps VS Team-Win-Recovery-Project

I've used the Open GApps project to install Google Play Services on incompatible devices like Android Fire tablets in the past, though I think to install them I had to use a custom recovery like TWRP.

Do you have any pc set up with adb and fastboot tools? If not, please do so. Otherwise go to xda-developers.com and pick any ROM you may find interesting or just go with this You'll probably also want to install gapps, so download the following from here ARM/11.0/pico

I'm looking at this comparison matrix trying to work out what it would be.

For older versions of Lineage, there was a download at https://opengapps.org/ to choose f.e the pico package. Also, the OpenGapp package for Lineage 18 did not contain many Google tools. The help pages of lineage/openGapps is pointing to https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps where a download for any unknown version is available. Choosing this package for Lineage 19, I got the whole advertisement for Google back. :-(

For GAPPS it did not work with the suggested GAPPS since I got an error, so I used OpenGAPPS based on this form, install GAPPS error. I downloaded and installed gapps from https://opengapps.org/ with the settings ARM64, 11.0, nano.

LOS 19.1 is based on Android 12 but there's only up to Android 11 on here https://opengapps.org/. So like do I just install the 11 one?

B is super important to me, so my phone right now is a OnePlus 7 Pro. It was one of the last models ever made that can still pass SafetyNet while rooted (due to being whitelisted for "basic" / non-hardware-backed attestation). Unfortunately now it's several versions out of date and will stay that way for the foreseeable future, on top of the fact that nobody's figured out how to lock the bootloader on a custom ROM, despite the fact that it'll get you back Widevine L1 keys (the 7 Pro doesn't erase them on bootloader unlock like most phones do).

This stopped mattering to me when something accidentally activated a "feature"[0] of TWRP that erased my device and the maintainers have so far been completely hostile to the notion of adding an option to disable that functionality.

Now I just use my phone because OxygenOS is great, the hardware mute switch is great, lack of camera cutout is great (fuck rounded corners though), and it has some serious flagship specs. Not an advertisement or anything, but this was $300 refurbished from Back Market.

If ya do care about it: your only hope will be using an tool like TWRP Recovery to backup that partition. And decrypt it using your pin/password during that process.

make sure your downloading stuff from the offical github page... ANYTHING ELSE IS FAKE MAGISK get twrp files at twrp.me and make sure your using a legit version of odin!!!

Was downloading TWRP images from official site https://twrp.me/, but non passed checksum and GPG verification. Tried for several devices.

Older builds of TWRP? https://twrp.me/

Link to the wrong TWRP. Looks like a backup/restore Android thing that is open source.

Find a way to unlock the phone so that you can install a custom recovery, like TWRP. LineageOS team will recommend their own LineageOS Recovery, but don't even bother with it. TWRP has a lot more useful features, and is more widely supported by XDA Developers, and most people in general know it. If your phone is already vendor unlocked, then that makes the next steps much easier. If I recall correctly, since your device is a Samsung, you might have to use Odin Launcher to get to the bootloader to unlock it and install TWRP. I'm not sure though, so don't quote me on it.

I would finish the work of relocking bootloader on rooted OOS 11 with working AVB but I lost interest after TWRP wiped all my data. The issue is still open and nobody is treating it seriously, so I'm 100% done messing with root.
