A big thanks to user "doener" for submitting the MicroG project: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25252598

I found this LineageOS clone while checking out the author of that MicroG project and it sounds amazing. I'm very happy with LineageOS but sometimes the Google Apps would be a pain. This fork just cleanly replaces GApps with microG and the Play Store with F-Droid.

In effect, that seems lime a "power user" LineageOS fork.

I have used these images for more than a year now, runs perfectly fine. Use Aurora Store (from F-Droid) if you need any Google Play apps installed.

Be careful if you rely on SafetyNet, seems to be a pain to get working correctly.

If you use the GCM registration, but push notifications just dont work, try this [0], worked for me

Thanks for sharing your experience :) I didn't know about Aurora Store before, despite using F-Droid for a while now.

Any pointers to get SafetyNet to pass?

Sorry, can't help there as I don't need it, therefore never tried to get it to work. I think the microg subreddit [0] is your best bet for pointers
