are there like any ROMs that Support being rooted and still lock the Bootloader? i have tried LineageOS and CalyxOS but neither of them worked, Lineage just refused to lock, and calyx startet bootlooping with the Message "no operating system found"

better yet is there any ROM that comes pre-rooted?

cause i need a locked Bootloader or otherweise WhatsApp (which i unfortunately need) wont work, but coming from a rooted rom, unrooted android is unbearable

i dont know if this is the right place but its the best chance i got.

Phone: Pixel 8 pro Os: Lineage OS 21 (Magisk 27)

i keep getting the error "you need the official app to log in" but i have the official app. like literally the apk thats on their own damn website.

i tried Everything, hiding Magisk, setting up deny list, installing Bootloader spoofer, safetynet fix, play integrity fix, Even backing up the data from my old phone, which keeps me logged in for 5 minutes before i get a "verification expired" messege. like at this point im out of ideas. the crazy thing? on my old phone (pixel 6a, Lineageos also rooted) it worked from the very start, without any of the above fixes.

please, is there any way to get WhatsApp working in rooted LineageOS?

here a Screenshot of the error

!

Is there an application or method with like ADB or something that can easily make backups of my apps to transfer to another phone? i dont care about configs or having to login again, but reinstalling everything is a major bother.

Bonus points if it applies my home screen and QS-Tile Layouts. But thats just a nice to have.

Old Phone: Google Pixel 6a (Lineage OS, Magisk root)

New Phone: Google Pixel 8 Pro (Lineage OS, Magisk root)

So. I have a soundboard application (Soundux) running in Hyprland. I got shortcuts to work by force running it in XWayland however these only work when the application is focused. Is there ANY way that the shortcuts work when i focus another window?

Edit: spelling

So, I discovered weird behavior when trying to play games on an NTFS file system in Linux.

When i auto mount the drive through a fstab entry, it is only able to launch Linux native games (I think I read somewhere that this is a permission issue).

However, if I mount it through steams "select a drive" option, it works without a problem (so far at least).

I assume this is again a permission issue, as when I mount the drive through steam, I get a Polkit password prompt.

Anyone got a clue what's going on, and/or maybe a way to make the auto mount work, so I don't have to manually mount it after every boot?

Like the title says i need an os for a x86 tablet.

I already tested various different linux distros, (mint, ubuntu, debian etc.) with various de's (gnome, xfce, plasma, plasma mobile) but nothing really suits a tablet. I tried android x86 but that wouldn't install.

Basically my problem is that apps etc. Are made with mouse and keyboard in mind making me unable to for example easily scroll as i have to drag the scroll bar manually.

Anyone got ANY recommendation? The default os was mint btw.

Edit: solved i just used a paid app that gives you 3 free downloads

Hey, so I have some downloads on Amazon Prime that I want to remove the DRM from, however I only find deleted posts on Reddit or some sketchy programs/sites I really don't trust. Does any of you guys know how to remove the DRM?

I'm willing to do a lot of work if I have to as long as it's free.

Also, if it is an application that does it, I'd prefer FOSS even if it's inferior.

Maybe I can reward the first person with a solution with some movie of choice😉

Specifically i want that the baterry icon in my status bar doesn't change color when the baterry saver is on.

I have a rooted phone with magisk and lsposed if that helps.

(My reason for that is that the color doesn't fit with my theming but i need the battery saver to keep my phone from dying throughout the day)

Doese anybody have any app recommendations for a rooted phone with lineageOS?

Things like: A proper file explorer A terminal if possible And apps in general that you can't use without root (i.e. power saver tuner(although it's possible without root))

Pretty much all graphical apps that dont have thier own theming option (like firefox) are always just the white background default theme. No matter wether it's qt or gtk. Wich files would i need to edit to change that? Searching on the internet only told me that i should change an environment variable bit doing so changed nothing even though i have the themes installed

dotfiles

dont mind that cava is white... i forgot to change that
