Lurker0's Modified Firmware





To remedy this is actually really easy. Lurker0 has created a firmware that installs Google Play Services and Google Play Store and removes bloatware. For this article, you need Lurker firmware installed which is linked with instructions.





Magisk Manager





Using Magisk Manager, you can use the following Magisk Modules, by downloading in the Download section of the app.





To download the modules, you can open up Magisk Manager and click the menu and go to Download and look for the modules. If Magisk doesnt open, you probably need to reinstall Magisk Manager. https://magiskmanager.com/

This will show the current versions as up-to-date. FYI - you wont be able to update Magisk to the latest version as John Wu won't be supporting rockchip anymore apparently. You can just disable update notification so it wont be annoying, or if you want, you can use a custom channel URL:





Magisk Modules L Speed - using it on performance mode currently for best speed. makes a huge difference. (update: im using a custom user mode now to balance battery life and power handling)



NFS Injector - Alternative to L-Speed Manager -- I prefer L-Speed Manager because it's easier to manage.



zRAM/Swap Manager - makes a swap ram file - not sure this is really needed



Energized Protection - Blocks Ads/Spyware



I also installed the XPosed Framework and within that, i use Amplify. This is an alarm/wakelock controller. I used it heavily on older android OSs but didnt really need to on modern Android OS. I have only reduced some of the android Android Syncing wakelock, so its not really necessary, but may improve battery life slightly.
