Hi there!
I have a Samsung S20 5G. I just got a new job recently and I was trying to set up a professional profile with Microsoft InTune to have Teams, Outlook, Edge, etc. to have access to my messages and intranet on the go. But, I found out my OS was out of date and didn’t have the latest security updates, and therefore the professional profile couldn’t be completed.
My options are:
- Buy a new phone ($$$$$)
- Keep the phone and Install LineageOS (MS InTune and professional profile might not work?)
Have any one of you had to create a professional profile on Lineage and succeeded? What has your experience been on Lineage?
By the way, I’m not trying to de-Google my phone. I’m just trying to extend the life of my phone and I read that to create a professional profile or for your banking apps to work, you need to install Google services a certain way when Installing Lineage. Have any of you tried this?
Also, I originally bought this phone (used) because it claimed to have e-sim functionality which is great for travelling. However, the Canadian version of the factory OS disabled that feature. I had to replace it with a U.S. image for the same model and that unlocked it. Will Lineage OS prevent me from using e-sims?
Please let me know your experience.
Well, I tried installing MicroG before and that doesnt just work. You need to flash it as privileged module and put an xml file somewhere to give it elevated permissions.
I found this issue, there seems to be a hole in the docs. The same user also opened another ignored issue that does seem to match my impression of very lacking docs and a low focus on security for microG too…
Interesting.
I might just install GApps instead. I really don’t care if it turns it into a Googled phone. I already have a Googled phone with the Samsung default OS anyway.
