What third-party package(s) for LineageOS should I get in

microG is a great replacement for Google play services, if you need it.

Store : f-droid + Aptoide
Maps : maps.me
Everything else : stock, or search in the stores

Install microG

Anything else I should be aware of before installing lineage? any major flaws?

>>61233420
I use the pico package, from opengapps.org

Contains only Play Services and Play Store. Everything else I get from the play store or sideload apk's. This way, I can Greenify every app, without using Xposed Framework (adds a bunch if bulk to a system, horrible if you're on pre-2015 hardware)

No major flaws that affect usability, currently some people find the camera app a bit bugy, just install a different camera app if you have the issue.

Play services is the heart of the botnet though

>>61234456
True, but a lot of applications crash without it. Avoiding the botnet is easy and practical on PC, its near-impossible with mobile. Just take my goddamn dick pics, and allow me to read my email in peace.

microG is a free (as in freedom) replacement for Play Services, it even works with the official Play Store if you don't want to use a different option

Freedom? As in the shit-tier PlayStore modder? If you're not using LuckyPatcher then you haven't experienced true transcendence.

How good is MicroG? Last time I checked it was in Alpha state and they even discouraged against using it unless it was for testing purposes.
Is it stable despite being in alpha? Do applications crash or malfunction with it?

I use it, and my only complaint is that none of the network location provides are that great. Or at least I don't have them configured optimally.

It's so bad that my icon will "jump" between spots in any location app.

Other than that, everything works fine.

>YalpStore
this thing will probably by banned it the future but for now it can succefully download anything from PlayMarket withouut GAPPS
>Fdroid
Apps here are very outdated. Try YalpStore first.

Its utter shit but if you are lucky and have some spare time it might work.
