Presumably as an April Fools' joke, LineageOS added an undismissable notification informing users that, "You might be a victim of software counterfeiting"
Removing it requires updating to another build or rebooting into recovery and changing a setting using terminal via setprop .
instructions: Okay I finally managed to solve the LineageOS Settings"You might be a victim of counterfeiting" april fools joke. Here are the steps to how I solved it 1. Boot in to TWRP-recovery 2. Open Terminal under the advanced tap 3. Type the following "setprop persist.lineage.nofool true" in the terminal 4. Reboot the phone and voila :)
It made me realise that these huge and reputable Android ROM developers will still treat your phone like a toy, and are therefore completely untrustworthy.
3. You can't use trusted SIM services such as e-signature with custom ROMs. I have an e-signature embedded into the cryptographic module of my SIM card, and no custom ROM can use that, because they can't provide a secure pipe from SIM to antenna, and that's a deal breaker.
Uh, that doesn't make sense to me. Could you provide some details? The point of SIM card is that there is no user-controlled software in the path between SIM card and antenna. So if the pipe from SIM to antenna was secure before custom ROM, it's still secure after it.
In my e-signature workflow, I initiate the process from outside. So, a network provider notification comes in, I accept it, check a fingerprint presented, enter PIN, and hit send. So, there are couple of screens and a keyboard is presented to me.
When I used a custom ROM, I never received the notification, IIRC. Even carrying the relevant bits from the official ROM didn’t matter. It never worked, crippling tons of things at the end.
If used or reflashed the stock ROM, things have returned to normal.
1. Discovered that emergency calls would crash the phone (during an emergency)
