Maybe, I had OrangeFox working on other ROMs, might give TRWP a try again. Tbh it could just be my phone (Poco F3), never really been able to get things working smoothly, eg backup and restore at recovery level.
Plus Google doing all they can to make rooting harder. Beginning to think it isn’t worth it anymore. I definitely need it now to get rid of the horrid MIUI skin, but for my next phone I might just go for one with a stockish skin and keep it as is.
In my opinion you should just rip the bandaid off and go without Google Play Services. I haven’t had it installed for a long time, if you set Magisk to Zygisk mode with and set banking apps or whatever else on the DenyList then they will likely work. I haven’t actually found any apps that truly require Google Play Services in a long while, although I generally try not to use most apps where I can avoid them.
The one downside might be that you can’t use Google Pay, but I question whether you should’ve been using that to begin with.
MIUI is definitely cancer, though usually you can get away from it. It feels proper dodgy using their Windows software to unlock the bootloader, though - I’m sure if I scan the files in 5-10 years’ time I’ll find a bunch of exploits that are currently zero day. That’s what happened with my Baofeng radios, anyway.
