Thats my config for the moment. I use Norton security for android because it has a funktion that scans apps from playstore without u need to install them. Its something no other vendor has and thats a big + for me. I dont need to download the app. Just go to playstore and norton shows me if its clean/malware/adware/data risky or something. it is working realy well at the moment. I wait for the OnePlus 5 to be realeased, that will be my new phone or the new Asus AR that comes out soon.

great day to all. :)

Hey Jan, you've got one of the best UX phone available :)
Nice browser+content filtering combo.
Do you use the default 'Find My Device' or a 3rd party anti-theft app? Won't they need Location to be ON (for your setup)?
I've tried a few apps that can remotely turn on location, like 'Anti-theft Droid SMS' and 'Anti-theft Droid Web', in case you want to check them out.

Hello, i do not use anti-theft at all. I feel no need for it at the moment. I am realy carefull with my phone/laptop etc and until now i never forget anything, anywhere. I realy dont know exactly how the anti-theft futures are working. My gf has one with eset security and it alrdy worked for her. Maybe in the future i will add one. Will have a look at the apps u listend there, thanks. :)

Great config. I honestly do not usually find the need to run an AV in a non-rooted phone with downloads only from Play Store. Google is cautious and infections at very rare.
Anyways better to prevent than to remediate :)

Oh, forgot to mention that the phone is rooted. :D But i still download apps only from google play. dont even know why its rooted, maybe because im just a little nerd and love things like that. :D I use the av not for malware but more to see wich app is data risky without need to read all the permissions.

Official and stable? I see nightly builds for many phones but yours may be an exception ;)
How do you like the UI of Lineage against the stock one? I liked stock 3T UI very much already.

Well, the UI from the original is better in my opion. But i use SquareHome 2 as Launcher. Its like a better version from a windows phone :D I can t help me but i love the win10 look and now my android looks much similar. The main reason for switch to this OS is it handles the batterie way better and u have more hours left, not like the original. The camera app inbuild is better too thats another reason i use this os instead of the original. i havnt look true all the option until now so i cant write much about it at this moment. It seems realy stable so far. By the way, its a nightly build and not a official stable one.
