Hello! Longtime Android user here.
I am currently using LineageOS 21 on my Pixel 7 Pro, however after rooting and running a few Magisk modules I have been having issues with overheating.
So what I planned to do is build LineageOS myself, and use a custom kernel.
One of these:
Some follow up questions:
-
Will this break using banking apps because of custom kernel? (even with Chiteroman’s PIF, Zygisk, and Shamiko?)
-
However, I am unsure if I build LineageOS 21 with one of these custom kernels if I will be required to build each update with the custom kernel, or if the updater would update my build.
I am open to suggestions on how to solve my thermal issues if anyone has any.
Thank you!
Edit: more questions
It’s been a while since I used custom android kernels or even LineageOS (last used it on my Mi A1), but regarding this point:
However, I am unsure if I build LineageOS 21 with one of these custom kernels if I will be required to build each update with the custom kernel, or if the updater would update my build.
I believe you will need to stick to the kernel branch that you are on (i.e. wait for the maintainer to push out a new kernel), I don’t think there will be any automatic patching that would account for kernel customization.
Apologies if I behind times and I made a mistake regarding the point above. :)
Any help is welcomed, so thank you!
I know you didn’t ask for alternatives, but since you have a Pixel I thought I’d at least mention it.
Have you tried GrapheneOS?
My battery life is amazing with it and I’ve never had any overheating issues.
Edit: my local credit union app works fine. You can even relock the bootloader after you install graphene.
