I have OnePlus 7 Pro that I successfully flashed with LineageOS 21 with MicroG. Do you have some interesting apps or ideas to take advantage of it? I thought of some Magisk modules. Maybe someone is more experience than me! This is the spare smartphone, the main one is GrapheneOS, so I don't mind breaking stuff.

I'll have to check out TrackerControl, that's a new one to me!

I have seen app manager but currently use AppOps. I didn't recommend AppOps above because I'm not sure it's still supported or not, and it's also not really Foss. It's treated me well over the years, but I'm definitely interested in finding a better alternative. The last time I checked app manager, it wasn't as good... But maybe that's changed as it's been several years now so I think I might be due for looking at it again!

My wireguard connection on my phone connects to my home network to an pi hosting my internal VPN... But the network is completely covered by a mullvad VPN through opnsense. I've got pihole setup using the mullvad anti-trackkng private DNS. With this setup, the only real need I have for root on my phone is because I do some pretty low level automation on it through crond and some backups of core app data that I'd really hate to lose... And the complex firewall rules lol.
