I picked up a OnePlus 9 Pro to replace my OnePlus 6T. The 6T was running /e/, but since there is no /e/ build available for the 9 Pro I went with LOS w/ MicroG.
I remember when running /e/ that it was necessary to blacklist Aurora Store from attempting to update Play Services, MagicEarth, or the PDF viewer (upgrades of these apps are handled by the OS, I guess). I'm not sure if this is necessary for Lineage w/ MG, and was wondering if someone could let me know, since apparently there is an available upgrade for Play Services.
Thank you!

I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with LineageOS 14.1-20180407 and without GApps or Google Services. I tried to use the OKCupid app, but I only get the notification that Android System WebView is missing Does anybody know how to use the app with the preinstalled AOSP WebView?

I don't do this for my devices but, I believe that the following information should be correct...
... download and install the Android System Webview from the following APKMirror website and then set it as the Default Webview app from within your devices Developer Options...
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-system-webview/
... You may want to double check this on the following Official LineageOS thread for your just to be sure (I believe that you have the following LineageOS for the Mido device).

Thanks, but as I've stated I don't use Google services and I don't intend to do so. That's why I was asking, why the app isn't recognizing AOSP WebView, because that's already installed on my device, that's what should work and what I'd like to use.
Dear team,i am currently using 15.1 lineage os on my oneplus 2 but am not getting calls on my jio and unable to make one albeit data is working perfectly...pls help
Hey,
did you solve the problem?
I have the same with LineageOS for microG (LineageOS Version 18)
Hello everyone, I'm new in this site and I want to ask you a question.
I want to buy this Xiaomi (mi a2 lite/redmi 6 pro) but I don't have a google account(i don't like those services) so i have to buy a phone which works without a google account... I prefer the mi a2 lite but if it's necessary to insert a google account I will buy the redmi 6 pro... can you help me please?
P.S. I WILL NOT CREATE A GOOGLE ACCOUNT FOR THIS PHONE so, don't reply to me that i have to buy the mi a2 lite and after create a google account without my private informations in order to start the phone with this new account...in this case I ask you to reply me some devices' name which works without a google account...Thanks to everyone!
I suppose that if you don't want to use a Google account, it's because you care for your privacy (targeted ads, NSA data harvesting, etc.)
But even if you use a phone without a Google account, on the vast majority of the phones the Google Service and Google apps are preinstalled, and they will spy on you anyway.
The best way to use a phone like you want, without Google interference, is to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM (I highly recommend LineageOS for the privacy).
Custom ROMs often comes without any Google Service or app, so you got a clean Android version after installation that doesn't need any Google account to work. But you might miss some features that only Google can provide: in fact people always install OpenGApps immediately after the ROM when they want Play Store and other Google stuff.
But if you don't want the Google Play Store, you can install apps from alternative stores like F-Droid and XDA Labs.
The problem with Mi A2 Lite is that still there aren't any custom ROMs (it still lacks the main tool to install custom ROMs, that is TWRP). So if you need a smartphone right now and you can't wait for custom ROMs to arrive for Mi A2 Lite, you better choose another device. My personal suggestion is Redmi Note 5 (whyred), that has official LineageOS support and the best hardware for the price. The second best choice is Mi A1 (official LOS support too).
You don't need a Google account for this phone.
I also decided to try my luck and get this phone with the prospect of it one day supporting Lineage OS. The device is Project Treble supported though, so you can flash what's called a GSI (generic system image) without the need for TWRP.
Though GSIs are, well, generic. Not tuned to any particular phone.
thanks BubuXP

Thank you so much, but now I think that I'll buy the xiaomi redmi note 5 pro because is already supported by lineage os, when I buy it I'll flash lineage os so i can use it without google...but thank you!
Hi, i can't make it to install google play store on my lineage os. Downloaded Gplay apk, installing with webview enabled and all it does after installing is telling me that it ''stopped''.
Wiped and reinstalled phone and problem still persists. I am not the smartest with phones but just wanted to have custom rom that works well for me but this error is taking away a lot from me.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4
Lineage 15.1
Anndroid 8.1.0

Play store doesn't work that way. You have to flash GApps together with lineageOS or nanodroid afterwards. You can install alternative app stores like f-droid as apk.
Hi!
Did you follow the steps as described here:
Installing LineageOS from recovery
Look out for step 7 - especially the note in blue colored box.
You may want to make sure to have the “matching” GApps version as well.
For the Samsung S5 the process is similar and it works out just fine.
Good luck!

I think you can't unlock bootloader. So no root and no custom ROM for you. But you can debloat stock ROM and install many apps that are similar to /e/. No way for microG. Instead of play store i recommend f-droid and aurora store.

will anyone with technology clout confirm it cant root or custom rom?
Yes, there are no custom ROMs, nor will there ever be. I would stay away from Huawei in general, especially anything with a trailing nominal like, "Lite". If you can't afford a phone with higher specs, buy one that is a year old. Something like the Xiaomi Mi Mix series, in which the Mi Mix 2s already have Android 11 ROM's available.
I personally have the Mi Mix 3 5G, in which I paid only $250 for a brand new, sealed in box phone containing a QUALCOMM 855, 8GB RAM, 128GB ROM. Not just that but it is extremely easy to unlock and install custom ROM's onto.
In fact, they're probably one of the easiest to modify phones I have ever used.
Hi guys, how are you?
I've tried a few things here, but I'm running out of ideas.
I have a Mi9 Explorer Edition. This is a phone that no longer receives updates from Xiaomi, and I rely on the people from this forum and Telegram to update it. I'm using version V14.0.23.5.8.DEV. This ROM comes with a lot of Chinese stuff and is built on top of a Chinese ROM.
I removed several apps that come with the ROM and installed Google Play Store (although I couldn't get it verified).
I tried the standard installation, but I couldn't. I tried via Samsung Health, but I couldn't. I tried via Chinese Wear OS and couldn't.
Question: Does it need to have the Play Store verified? If I get a Global ROM, is it likely to have more success?
Thanks.
