Lineage OS

As of 2024.02.25:

Lineage OS 19.1 with Magisk and HideNavBar and encryption:

  1. Wipe and format data from TWRP
  2. Install Lineage OS 19.1 (and nothing else)
  3. Boot tablet and do minimal setup
  4. Reboot to recovery
  5. Install Magisk from .zip (just rename .apk, but check that it is still supported)
  6. Boot tablet
  7. Open Magisk (should be present, with a anonymous icon)
  8. Magisk will ask to finish setup. Do that and reboot.
  9. Open Magisk again and check that it is fully installed.
  10. Install HideNavBar, and choose options to make the pill bar as small as possible (it is a big screen)
  11. It will ask to reboot. Do that.
  12. Check that gestures and Nav bar is as expected.
  13. Remove all icons from Nav Bar, otherwise it will stay on-top of app’s.
  14. Go to Settings and choose Encrypt under Security.
  15. It will reboot, and hopefully not go into a boot-loop.

Done! All is working now.

Upgrading Lineage:

NO CLUE! Probably a full wipe and start over…

Rebooting into TWRP will prompt for password of encrypted /data, and I have not succeeded in mounting it.

So be carefull about starting automatic upgrades of OS or other stuff that needs the recovery to work.
