lineageos is awesome. Unfortunately the camera app is quite a bit worse in my opinion (used it on the OnePlus One, 3T and haven't tested it with my 5). Guess some things are more important at this point..

  I would like to use lineage OS but if I root my phone my work email will stop working. It is configured via Boxer app, is there a work around?

    To gain root access you have to flash an optional zip file [0] after flashing LineageOS itself and the also optional OpenGapps [1]. If you don't do that, your Boxer app should pass these SafetyNet checks [2]. If you want both root and still full access to these SafetyNet-"protected" apps, you can try the alternative rooting solution Magisk [3] which specializes on bypassing these (imho arbitrary) restrictions.

    My bank app refused to install on a rooted phone. I used Magisk Manager to work around that. I guess it could work in this case as well. There is a 'hide root' option (or something similar).

  I use OpenCamera on a oneplus X with lineageOS. The camera hardware is not great, and definitely far from the 2017 state of the art, but it works ok.

  Is there no way one can extract the oneplus camera app and install it on lineageos? I'm also going to finally switch now, but I don't understand why there isn't some clever hacker that has done this yet. Is is impossible?

Are there any serious known issues on LineageOS for the OP3, other than the camera being weaker?

What are some things to be aware of when switching? I'm a 3T owner and I'm done with the OS (still love the hardware). Hesitant to simply flash new firmware onto it without knowing what I'm getting into.
