## Research
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* find out device code: https://support.mogaanywhere.com/hc/en-us/articles/201302920-How-do-I-find-my-Android-device-s-model-number-
|
||
|
|
* find out if there is TWRP for device code: https://twrp.me/Devices/
|
||
|
|
* find out if there is a custom rom for device code: https://download.lineage.microg.org/

## Risks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Liberating your device from google voids the warranty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If it fails and your backup does not work correctly, you risk that contacts or
|
||
|
|
data are not available anymore.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have to use unofficial LineageOS or TWRP builds, because the device is
|
||
|
|
not supported, the installation can fail. Then you'll have to flash the stock
|
||
|
|
rom, and restore the backup. It's a nasty effort.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have to flash the stock rom, you can only login and use the phone, when
|
||
|
|
you log into a Google account, that already was logged into the phone before
|
||
|
|
you flashed it. Be wary if you bought the phone second hand/online.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Step By Step
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Back up data before flashing

||
|
|
* create ownCloud account
|
||
|
|
* backup telegram accounts
|
||
|
|
* backup files to ownCloud
|
||
|
|
* sync Contacts to ownCloud
|
||

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Install Firmware
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* install TWRP https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
|
||
|
|
* install lineageOS with microG https://lineage.microg.org/#instructions
|
||
|
|
* if not possible, install normal lineageOS and enable signature spoofing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Secure Phone

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Encrypt phone
|
||
|
|
* Install F-Droid from their website: https://f-droid.org/
|
||
|
|
* Install cryptfs
|
||
|
|
* if necessary, root the device with magisk
|
||
|
|
* wrong pin shutdown
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Install apps
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On F-Droid, you can get open source apps for almost any purpose.
|
||
|
|
If you need Google Play Store apps, you can install them via the Aurora store.
|
||
|
|
You can install the Aurora Store on F-Droid, too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some recommendations:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
