[Saved before deleting from Reddit] This post is based on Reddit post but adopted to my experience. ROM will be able to pass BASIC SafetyNet Attestation: working most(~95% as of now) banking apps, Google Pay; Google Contants Cloud Sync will work as expected; applications that do not support Magisk overlays will still work. For me, this is a 100% working setup. I use LineageOS myself in this form and am completely satisfied.
There are several ways to get LineageOS to your device. First: official, without pre-installed microG and GApps. Second: unofficial, but with a built-in microG out of the box. My instruction is written based on the first type of builds. LineageOS for microG is a wonderful project, but I needed Play Store so that applications would not have problems with license verifications (Repainter, KWGT, for example, do not work if there is no Play Store). And on the second type of builds, it is not possible to install Play Store, since there is a hard-coded FakeStore, which you will not be able to delete or overwrite with Play Store, I tried for a long time in many ways.
Guide:
-
Root with Magisk, enable Zygisk and DenyList in its options;
-
Install Zygisk - LSPosed Magisk module. Get latest MinMicroG release here (version from 16 Jan 2023 on my device) (choose edition yourself, Standard edition if you want to have exact my setup). Flash it in TWRP and reboot into system;
-
Install FakeGApps apk. Install Displax forked SafetyNet Fix Magisk module this version (2.4 version can’t pass CTS);
-
Install microG apk accordingly to version of MinMicroG (0.2.27.223616 accordingly to the MinMicroG version on my device) (update existing apk installed from TWRP, needed because else microG settings would crash because of SafetyNetFix, also you can’t grant all permissions to microG);
-
Grant all permissions to microG in its settings. To grant GPS in background permission, enable GPS once and go into microG settings;
-
Hide Magisk through its settings, give it whatever name you want. Also in DenyList, check banking applications, GPay.
Everyone should do this. Mirror information else where before purging reddit.

Thank you for archiving information here.
Yeah. Fuck Reddit. Their value is in our helpful answers. So let them not to have that answers 🙂
Most impactful thing we can do is take back our data 👍

I wonder if this still holds up. After March my 4a caught something nasty from Play services and refused to pass attestation or SafetyNet ever again.
Ok, but why not use Murena /e/ OS, that has MicroG pre-installed (and in fact, they’re the main developers of microG), and the ability to install google play apps if you want? They support even more phones than LineageOS at this point, and their codebase was originally from LineageOS. I installed e OS on my Moto G7 Plus, and it works great!
My opinion, not hater: because it has weird design, launcher, animations, because Lineage has more users -> community support, because I see no purpose to use it instead widely used and supported Lineage.
I found nothing weird about its design, in fact, it just looks like an iphone, that billions use at this point.
Heh, maybe. I just see no purpose in it 🙂
