Now I&amp;#x27;m using a custom ROM supporting signature spoofing (because my new phone doesn&amp;#x27;t get official Lineage builds) and there are some issues and it was a lot more work (especially learning about signature spoofing itself is just too hard).&lt;p&gt;Lineage OS for MicroG: Absolutely recommended.&lt;p&gt;MicroG even supports the bluetooth contact tracing protocol used by the Corona-Warn-App, by the way.</text></comment>
