Hello! Longtime Android user here.

I am currently using LineageOS 21 on my Pixel 7 Pro, however after rooting and running a few Magisk modules I have been having issues with overheating.

So what I planned to do is build LineageOS myself, and use a custom kernel.

One of these:

Some follow up questions:

  • Will this break using banking apps because of custom kernel? (even with Chiteroman’s PIF, Zygisk, and Shamiko?)

  • However, I am unsure if I build LineageOS 21 with one of these custom kernels if I will be required to build each update with the custom kernel, or if the updater would update my build.

I am open to suggestions on how to solve my thermal issues if anyone has any.

Thank you!

Edit: more questions

    It’s been a while since I used custom android kernels or even LineageOS (last used it on my Mi A1), but regarding this point:

    However, I am unsure if I build LineageOS 21 with one of these custom kernels if I will be required to build each update with the custom kernel, or if the updater would update my build.

    I believe you will need to stick to the kernel branch that you are on (i.e. wait for the maintainer to push out a new kernel), I don’t think there will be any automatic patching that would account for kernel customization.

    Apologies if I behind times and I made a mistake regarding the point above. :)
