Questions on LineageOS & Resurrection Remix before installing - G3 Android Development

I am looking to install the latest stable Lineage OS or Resurrection Remix on my rooted LG G3 D850 running Kitkat.
1) Can I still use and install apps from the play store ?
2) There are a few pre-installed apps from the LG OS that I like, mainly Visual Voicemail and Weather.
Can I somehow use these ?
3) I do not have a SIM card of cellular service on this phone yet. It is my spare and I can't afford another plam
When an OS update is available, do I need to go through the complete install process and loose all my data ?
Thanks in advance

1.) If you install the latest TWRP and flash RR Lineage OS, you can still install apps and games thru the Play Store, all you are doing is installing an updated/modified version of Android, it's no different, except the fact that it's a custom firmware. It's still Android based.
2.) I believe you can still use the Visual Voicemail if you sideload the stock apk. I've had luck sideloading stock apps and not having a problem with using them. Now I'll have to see if the weather app works on 8.1 or 9.0. I'll keep you posted.
3.) When a stock firmware update is available, you won't lose your data. It doesn't factory reset your device, all it does is flash an update to your current system or updating your firmware via OTA updates. Usually when you sign into your Google, your data automatically backs up. All you have to do is sign back into your Google account and restore your data. It will run in the background and re-install those apps.
Hope this helped.

This is interesting and very helpful.
I forgot to mention, the stock apps I am interested in, Visual Voicemail and Weather, were built-in to the stock OS that came with the phone. At some point I had called AT&T support for something and they told me that the built-in Visual Voicemail is not available on the play store. I did try the version on the play store and it is different and will not work with my pre-paid plan.
If this is the case, can I somehow extract the apk and install it on RR or Lineage?
Thanks

When I updated Visual Voicemail (from Play Store) today on my PAC-MAN ROM it was automatically disabled and had to be turned back on its setting. Sounds silly to ask but you did turn it on? Anyway, I didn't know that it probably doesn't work with prepaid accounts. Bah!
Pulling apks from a stock KitKat ROM and expecting them to work on ROMs that are several Android versions removed would be wishful thinking. In the past there have been mods of some stock apps to run on AOSP/CM. Some still work like the LG QuickRemote. In general the stock LG apps (probably) relied on libraries and whatnot that are not available in custom ROMs.
If you consider pulling and side loading something it should at least come from a later stock, Marshmallow. Some custom stock ROMs were also debloated. Removing weather for instance. In a couple of cases the devs would make the removed items available for download for those who wanted them back. Nimax and Clean ROM are a couple that come to mind. Still, I wouldn't count on anything working outside of stock.
If one wants/needs what stock had to offer then one should stay on stock. Sadly, the G3 only made it up to Marshmallow.
BTW, are you aware this thread is in the wrong subforum? [emoji54] [emoji850]
EDIT: Here you'll find Nimax_Apps_G5 zip. In it are the LG apps removed from the Nimax ROM for the G3. The weather app is in there. Its original location was in /system/app/LGWeather/LGWeather.apk. I figure, after extracting zip, you could do a quick test by trying to install it normally and see if it succeeds or not.

I was able to backup/restore Visual Voicemail using Titanium Backup. Not sure if it works, although it runs. I forgot Visual Voicemail only works through cellular data and I do not have a SIM or service yet.
As far as weather, I did the same backup/restore using Titanium Backup and weather just crashes. But I found other weather apps so that is not a problem.
I will check out the Nimax apps you mentioned and see what happens. THANKS

why do'n't you use a Market or google search?

I Did, currently google apps flash-able package is available for CM7 ROMs but cant find for froyo.
And another point is, i corrupted my market app.. cant download any app now
I think Google talk is also not available in the android market.
why i posted:
ROM developers may have it that's why i posted maybe someone can provide one.
otherwise i will extract apk from ROM and try to create update zip. might be useful for others too
GApps packages are only for CM Rom's (And AOSP ones), since, those ROMs by themselves do not have any Google copyrighted stuff.
Sense based ROMs do not need GApps packages because most of them include it by default. Or, even if they do not include the apps package, they include atleast the Market app,
Seeing that, as you have put, your best bet would be to extract the APK and create the Update Zip yourself.
Looks like there is more than corrupt application in my case. I have created and flashed update even individually installed apks and services over existing ROM but getting FC on launching the application. Setup Wizard doesn't seems to work anymore and getting FC in loops.
Some unknown system components or services also seems to be affected. I think I would need to go back and restore nandroid or reflash the ROM
time to flash a New ROM for primary use. and keeping nandroid backups for test purpose. as a Primary ROM I will prefer CM 7.0.3, Wildpuzzel freezes sometimes during a call. i have used cm7 before but for test purpose. So i till go for CM7 and look for solution to connect ad-hoc wifi
why not just reflash your rom and make a backup of any data you want before hand

encryption fails on CM12 VS985

I have the VZW VS985 and I was happily running CM11 for a while. I decided to take CM12 for a spin, found that Lollipop is not quite to my liking and (already knew that) doesn't support Xposed Framework because of ART.
Unfortunately, all links to the CM11 ROM have vanished. Not even CyanogenMod hosts the files anymore and I can't find where I downloaded the .zip to. So I'm stuck on Lollipop.
But here's the kicker. I need to be able to access my corporate email, which requires that the phone be encrypted. In the past, on devices that fail to encrypt the workaround has been to simply use the "Exchange Security Bypass" module for Xposed Framework on JellyBean and later KitKat. As I no longer have this option and I'm stuck on CM12, but I'm still in need of access to my corporate email my only choice is to encrypt my phone. The problem is, every single time I try to encrypt, it silently fails and immediately reboots, occasionally boot looping and requiring a factory reset to restore functionality.
So if ANYONE has a copy of the latest CM11 nightly (i think its a few months old now) or knows how to get the VS985 to encrypt on CM12 any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried some of the other roms based off of CM11. I have a link below that I have always found to be my fav on AOSP based KK roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/rom-liquidsmooth-v3-2-vs985-11914-t2934897
agreed, you can put me on the list of "not a fan of 5.0" I prefer xposed modules. I too have been looking for a pure cm11.zip and their homepage has deleted all of them. Perhaps we could place a request for re-build of the latest cm11?
There may be hope yet. Over the weekend, it was reported that Xposed for lollipop was released. People are reporting mixed results. Seems like people running Official lollipop firmware on Nexus devices have working Xposed on Android 5, but many people are reporting that it isn't working on most other devices. The VS985 running CM12 being among those not working yet. I tested it myself and can confirm that Xposed is not working yet on CM12 for the VS985, but I'm sure that will change in the coming weeks. Interestingly enough, within hours of the release of Xposed for Lollipop, there was a new Exchange Security Bypass module released specific to Lollipop, presumably because Exchange accounts are now being handled by the Gmail app. The functionality has been stripped from the AOSP mail app, which I have mixed feelings about.
I am not a diehard FOSS guy, I am more of a pragmatist. I use what works. But on some level, it is alarming that you have to agree to Google's EULA and flash GAPPS in order to gain access to functionality that used to be baked into one of the AOSP core apps. It's almost as if we are seeing some schism withing Google, between the Android (AOSP) team and the team in charge of the "Google" experience on top of Android.
I for the most part use GAPPS versions of things like Calendar, Camera, etc. Simply because I like them better. But starting way back with Android 2.1 on my LG Optimus T P509, I made a habit of uninstalling the GMail App with TiBackup and strictly using the AOSP mail app. Now, as I said I am a pragmatist and this was at first, simply because Gmail only allowed you to connect it to Gmail accounts, but this has changed with the release of Lollipop. So do I stop worrying and learn to love the bomb? Or should I be alarmed by the closed sourcing of core functionality on Android?

last update Oct 27, 2018
last updated in LG-V30 apps section Mar 27, 2019
OCTOBER 1ST 2018
hey guys, I'm moving this to the V30 apps section, and will continue to keep it updated.
All future releases will work on your V20, and most likely any other android phone as well.
There are magisk modules (safer) and arm versions (for older devices) are there now too!
~syndre
Link to continued thread in LG-V30 apps forum
My shared drive folder url will not change, so you can bookmark it or import it into your own google drive "shared with me"
Change log:
This should work on any phone running android 7.0+ (and maybe marshmallow too). I have a V20 and only test on that, so i'm posting this here. This post is the one Ill keep updated.
OK,
If you havent noticed, the Play Store page for the Nougat version of Google Dialer says "Your device isn't compatible with this version." And even trying to manually install the apk gives a similar error.
In short, if you flash the app into your system partition in TWRP recovery, it works just fine. I have packed a flashable zip that does just that.
This does not remove anything you have, like the LG dialer or contacts app. It only adds Google's Phone app as a separate "Phone"
September 28th, 2018
Updated APK's to Phone v24 and Contacts v3.0.7
regular /system flashable zip HERE

Magisk Module I put together HERE
sorry it took so long
using either of these methods will allow you to download updates from the play store
June 15th, 2018
I was offered 4 different new updates from the Play Store today, and this post deserves an update, so here it is.
arm64 version of the dialer for our V20 and other arm64 phones (majority of you will want this one), the exact version of the apk's in the zip are:
Phone-com.google.android.dialer-2733912-v21.0.200268810.apk
Contacts-com.google.android.contacts-2115124-v2.8.4.199714199.apk
Download Link
arm version for your older phones still being used, I dont know why the contacts version is slightly different, but the apk's included are:
Phone-com.google.android.dialer-2733910-v21.0.200268810.apk
Contacts-com.google.android.contacts-2115123-v2.8.4.199714199.apk
Download Link
These apks are all (nodpi) in case anyone was wondering.
Finally, again, I update my zip files 3-4 times more often than this post gets updated. I upload everything else not seen here to a shared Google Drive folder which is available using this link, so if you're expecting an update that isn't noted here, theres a good chance that it'll be in there.
Have a good summer!

Contacts-com.google.android.contacts-2.3.7.175176256-2059755
I still havent had a chance to thoroughly test the video calling or screen sharing features with this version of the Dialer and Google Duo, but I know its active. You'll need Duo installed (get from play store) to have access to that stuff. I'm interested in if/how well itcom.google.android.contacts_2.5.4.186070557-2083760_minAPI21(nodpi) works or if theres any hiccups with those new things.
You can download from my shared Google Drive folder here [url]https://goo.gl/67uQN9[/URL]
the file is named Google_Phone.v14.0-arm64_Contacts.v2.3.7_(nodpi)-NOV282017-flashable.zip
Clicking the file name here is a direct link to it.
You should be able to just flash this new zip over any previous versions that were from this thread without any problems. If you do that and something isn't working, try wiping the data from both phone and contacts apps, then do a dalvik/cache wipe if problem persists. If something is still wrong after that, let me know. I dirty flashed without wiping anything and my dialer seems to function as it should.
Questions, comments, problems? Leave a reply and I'll get back to you soon.
November 4th, 2017
Today I was offered an update to the Google Phone app through the Play Store and it caught me off guard, because the version I was running was only 3 days old at the time. I accepted of course and immediately noticed that the APK file was a little bit over twice the file size as what I've been working with previously, interest was piqued. I started it up and it started saying stuff about integrated video calling with Google Duo, I went through the steps and it seems to be working but haven't really called anybody and tried it for real.
So that is why I am asking for you guys is help and feedback with this version in particular, if you want to test it out and see if everything works please get back to me as soon as it's convenient. I don't know at this point if I got this because everybody is getting it and it's a new release from them or if it's because of some other tweak that I have done on my phone and activated something different somehow. I'm pretty exhausted, coming down, and need a 2-day nap.
The file size for the zip is too big to keep posting on XDA, unfortunately, so I will provide a link to a shared folder on my Google Drive where are will start keeping all over releases from now on (theylll still be here to when possible)
The link to that folder I mentioned is here https://goo.gl/fQphzb file named Google_Phone.v13.0[Duo.Integration].arm64_Contacts.v2.2.3_(nodpi)-nov042017-flashable.zip
I feel like some kind of warning should come with this one because like I said I don't know if it is something I did on my phone that made this happen or if it's going out to everybody. So let me know!
October 31st, 2017
Ive been planning on making this into a Magisk module for awhile and got around to it finally. The magisk version is exactly the same as the latest non-magisk zip posted here, except its systemless. If you would like to switch from a previous install to the magisk version, just flash the remove zip (also new) and install the magisk module. You can to that without losing anything as far as app data goes by installing the magisk mod FIRST from magisk manager, then immediately rebooting into recovery and flash the remove zip.
Updated Dialer to v13.0.171616398
attached below
October 2nd, 2017
Updated Dialer to v12.0.1671-arm64
and Contacts to v2.2.3-all
You can flash this over any of my previous versions and be ok,
attached below
August 9th 2017
Updated Dialer to v11.0.164102751-arm64
and Contacts to v2.1.2.163775758-all
Framework is included.
Everything appears to be working without any issues for me after flashing the zip attached below.
July 9th 2017
I am positive "Nearby Places" is working on my V-20 using this (different from everything Ive used before today) framework file.
Instead of putting new zips of everything from my last July 4th update, I am just attaching that different framework separately.
If you are experiencing broken "Nearby Places", try flashing any of the below attached v9 or below zips 1st,
Then flash UPDATE-google_dialer_framework_only-2017-07-01.zip 2nd and see if this works for you.
July 4th 2017
I added a few new zip files with different versions of the Dialer app. I hope anyone having problems like what I have read from your posts in this thread can find one that works the way you're expecting. All of the apks are directly from apkmirror, no mods.
There are zips with version 8 and 9 and 10 of the Phone app. They are the same except for the dialer.
UPDATED June10th 2017
Phone .v10.0.155920708
and
Contacts.v2.0.9-200091
both of these apks are from apkmirror
flashable zip is attached to this post
sort of UPDATED June 4th 2017
no zip yet but you can upgrade to Phone v10 using instructions I posted here
I will provide a one step flashable zip attached here as soon as I can get (the patience to get) one working. It will be a week or so before I can play with a clean ROM.
If anyone out there figures it out and can provide a tested, working zip file, Id be happy to post and give you credit.

Not trying to hijack the thread bit I have a zip as well that will accomplish the same thing but also includes google contacts.
Flash the original post if you just want the dialer or you can have this one if you want contacts too.
Side note when installing there will be an update for the dialer in the play store but it will install just fine as normal
Thanks for posting this OP
It keeps foreclosing ?
Yeah unfortunately on my H910 it crashes pretty often. I just decided to remove it because it was much more of a hassle than convenience.
It seems like some that have the T-Mobile H918 don't have much of an issue with it, but I can't confirm that.

Set as default app, then grant it all the permissions. That will stop the FC.

Thanks for sharing! Ive been using just the dialer app going back to my G3, usually on AOSP (so there was never an issue getting google contacts from the play store).
I hope you dont mind and by all means let me know if you do, I modified your zip with the newest versions of both the Dialer and Contacts apps that will work properly on 7.0 Nougat. I have flashed the attached zip in TWRP on my V20 and tested everything without any issues. I can only assume these 2 apps wont be able to be upgraded on our device until we have 7.1.
Anyways, thanks again, the updated zip is attached, inside is:
com.google.android.contacts_1.6.20-106201_minAPI21(nodpi)
com.google.android.dialer_5.1.131226882-405721_minAPI23(nodpi)
nicely done guys going to try with my s7 edge on nougat.
works great.
Gonna give this a shot now as well, thanks OP and others who've contributed..!

So everything works just fine, except for the voice mail part of the dialer.. When I click "settings" i get a force close.. Any fix for that..?? I just had removed the VVM.apk from the WETA rom in an attempt to use a newer VVM.apk, and ended up losing the app all together.. I even extracted the VVM folder from the WETA rom zip file and moved that over, and still doesn't work so I dont know what happened there.. So I just set up Google Voice, but I'd rather stick with a native voice mail if I could..
Thanks..!
edit - ok so while in the pixel phone app, and on the voicemail tab, instead of clicking "settings" and getting a FC, i clicked "ok" and it closed that pop up message, and in an effort to test it out i sent myself a voicemail from another phone and it actually seemed like my phone reinstalled the factory voice mail app that i managed to delete yesterday on accident.. Now the only thing here is that my phone now sends voicemail's to that factory voice mail app and not the pixel xl voicemail tab.. Anyone else have this issue..??
actually missed call notification is not working on s7 edge on nougat...
Also noticed another lil bug..
When I put my phone to my face, it doesn't turn the screen off anymore..

this is all related to the zip deleting important call info,
after testing it for a few hours i removed it due to it being broken fundementally.
Its removing your call apps that handle proximity sensors etc,
this would need to be changed.
if you open the zip, take the apks themselves and merge them to your system folder in their perspective spots,
DONT DELETE ANYTHING. If you already flashed this then re-flash your rom 1st.
After moving the apps to their spots, use Titanium backup or other similar app to freeze the 2 or 3 apps the updater zip deletes.
this way the connections to the sensors wont break, notifications etc should work, if you want to use stock you can just unfreeze the stock apps and remove or freeze the google ones.
i was going to post a updated method but after the hack i caught over testing it ill just refrain from that.

this is all related to the zip deleting important call info,
after testing it for a few hours i removed it due to it being broken fundementally.
Its removing your call apps that handle proximity sensors etc,
this would need to be changed.

Ohhhh, so it's awesome, but has it's set backs at the same time lol..
Thanks for the detailed info on how to "fix" it, I'll give it a shot.. I did already flash the zip, but I'm testing out some diff roms today so once I find one I wanna play with for a week or so, I'll follow these instructions and hopefully be back in business..!
Thanks again!
Installed it on my Tmobile LG G4. Works likes a charm.
So I flashed it. Dialer opens. But once I grant it phone permissions the app opens and immediately crashed. I don't get a FC message. But the app opens up and then immediately closes itself. Anyone else have this issue? It was working fine on the last Rom I was using. Now I'm using NSS 5.5 which its not working on.

Open Gapps broken?

I just tried to flash open gapps 6/4/2020 stock for version 9 arm64, after I wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted all my gapps were gone but google pay was showing. I could see all the others were installed looking in system apps though. Trying to run google pay produced an error, see attached. Play services version seems to be broken? Help?
Confirmed, definitely broken. Logs attached. If anyone finds anyone in the open gapps project that actually cares feel free to let them know but from my past experiences it looks like open gapps stock is now over for 9. Might try a larger package, I'll post here if I do and it solves the problem.
Update: The Super package has the same issue.
There are other GAPPS like Nik GAPPS.

True, but that's another set of issues, and wouldn't I have to get Open Gapps off first?

Yes, but let's back up a step...
What LOS custom ROM do you have installed, for which you need GAPPS?
Just want to make sure we're all on the same page.
LOS-16 and LOS-17 need different GAPPS and of course stock firmware doesn't use GAPPS.

Of course stock uses gapps, unless you like wasting your storage to hold the updates and then having to re-update if you land up having to restore or do a factory reset, been doing it since Gingerbread and it works great, or it did, although the majority of updates can easily be moved to the system using Link2SD I have yet to find any realible means to move play services to the system without breaking things which is a major headache, gapps solves that issue and also allows me to choose which apps I want included in a rooted stock rom. The reality is that custom/non-stock ROMs are generally broken in one way or the other and more often than not it's just not something I'm willing to deal with, in addition there's useally too much junk included that I just have no need for and if I did I'd change my stock rooted ROM to fulfill that need. I've actually never seen a stock ROM that didn't use gapps. I'm perfectly happy with rooted and reasonably de-bloated stock and change things I feel are needed, for example adding in call recording, most custom ROMs would actually leave me doing more work to take things out and put things back in, like why take out the native sms, clock, calculator, calender, keyboard etc. they work, they are free and ad free, they are useally small and thus not really bloat and they are often hard to replace with similar function anywhere near their size.

No, you never flash custom ROM GAPPS on STOCK firmware. It already has built in GAPPS. GAPPS are usually only for LOS/AOSP custom ROM, not even stock based custom ROM. So there's your problem.
If you want to do it, go ahead, but I just know what I've been told by several devs.
When I read your question again, it seemed strange the way the wrote it, so that's why I wanted to clarify.

No my problem is that suddenly play services in Open Gapps does not work, worked fine until this flash. Open Gapps is just Gapps, all versions should be the same as released by Google, as stated I've been doing it since Gingerbread and the only issues it's ever caused is when Open Gapps is broken as mentioned in the first post and photos has also been broken for awhile now as it no longer runs in system/app so I install that from play store and move that myself with Link2SD which puts it in system/priv-app where it works. Not sure which question you are referring to, Open Gapps is broken currently and it's my understanding that all Gapps have to be removed to switch to any other and then there's the learning curve that will come with it. If I had the time I'd just create and maintain a package for just core that wouldn't touch the rest. That will likely become a necessity in the future at the rate things are going. So yes, after all these years I'll continue doing it since it's proven to work, assuming it ever gets fixed though I doubt it will as photos has yet to be fixed and that just requires a change in the install script.

How long have you owned the V30?
You'll need to factory reset the phone to remove the extraneous GAPPS you installed when stock firmware has GAPPS and different resolution versions of the apps.
You still haven't explained why you need gapps on stock firmware. Every V30 dev who creates a stock firmware ROM says do not install GAPPS.
From Aeron Li, the A.IS. and A.I.X. (stock firmware based ROM) dev, who says NOT to do what you are trying to do:
the bad thing is that he can flash/install mismatched gapps and that may make firmware work wrong, or even make safetynet issues and not working Gapps-related things

Boombox dev (another stock ROM) and JohnFawkes one of the devs who create the TWRP flashable zips has said not to flash GAPPS over stock firmware.
You're probably going to cause conflicts. But it's your phone.

I dunno never had any issues and flashed open gapps a few weeks ago, 20200513 to be exact on this phone, no issues. Actually it was explained in detail. Updates take up space, wiping data removes them and hence bandwidth and time is wasted. Moving updates into system saves space and bandwidth. Again I don't do anyone's ROMs I use stock and make the few changes I desire. The only real issue that requires it is moving play services to the system since everything else is movable using Link2SD.

ROM ❯ PIXEL 4A 5G ❯ OFFICIAL ❯ ProtonAOSP 11

ProtonAOSP
Android 11 ROM​
ProtonAOSP is a minimal Android fork (custom ROM) focused on UI/UX and performance, with a touch of privacy.
Usage with my Proton Kernel is recommended to get the most out of your phone. The ROM does not include Proton Kernel, so you will need to flash it yourself. The ROM will still work with other kernels, but you will not get the benefits of Proton Kernel.

Screenshots of the latest version
Installation
This ROM is currently distributed as factory images, similar to stock. Flash it the same way you would flash stock factory images. Don't forget to wipe all data using "fastboot -w" before booting the ROM.
Firmware is included, so there is no specific requirement for which version of the stock ROM you are coming from.
You can also use the quick & easy web installer, which allows you to install and update the ROM from any computer or phone without using the command line. The installer works entirely within your web browser and completes in as little as 4 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Consider using the web installer instead of installing manually.

Thank you very much for posting this. I'll definitely be checking it out. Your Proton kernel is quite good already. Interested to see how the ROM functions too.
Really appreciate you building and sharing this for us!
I saw in the P5 thread that it may be possible to get call screening to work if the dialer gets systemized. It's a feature that has really come in handy for me so just want to confirm it will get call screening working.
To confirm, I just need to put GoogleDialer.apk into product/priv-app?
Alternatively, could I just use something like Titanium backup to make it a system app?
TIA

Check out the magisk module systemizer, it's pretty good. I think you're right about all that.
Says microg support. So is does that mean microg is included? Or are standard "gapps" included?

microG is supported on the non-gapps build, not included. The gapps build includes full gapps.
Thank you for awesome rom, big plus for microg support. Will flash as soon as my Bramble arrives.
did flash all. now google logo, then a fire with beaker on screen.
edit: nevermind...guess that was the loading screen. took a few minutes. didn't seem like a "loading screen"
I am new to ADB AS my old phone used TWRP. Do I need to unlock the bootloader? Is it recommented to Start Form stock ROM, because I am currently on LineageOS? It is MicroG ready, does it mean that install MicroG via F-Droid, or do I install it like it is drscribed there at the Installation instructions?

You do need to unlock the bootloader. Switching from LineageOS should work, but you will need to wipe data as always.
microG should be installed from F-Droid after installing the ROM.

Thank you very much. I flashed it and it rebooted directly to the OS. Afterwards I installed your Kernel. The OS feels fast, but in comparison to Lineage for the same Phone, it feels slower. If you swipe for the action center, it is very slow and laggy. If you swipe for task manager and swipe through the recent apps, it lags. Are there any similar experiences?

The lag in those specific locations is caused by the frosted glass blur effect. Disable it in developer options if you want to trade it off for performance instead. The blur performance problems should be addressed in future versions.

Thank you for your reply. I am looking forward to a new release. For now I stick to LOS. Could you tell me the procedure for updating your ROM? Is it possible to dirty flash the update, so I don't need to backup my data externally?

I tried to use Magisk Systemizer and Titanium Backup to move this into a system app, but there's not enough free space in what I'm assuming is the system partition (Titanium Backup just labels it the "System ROM").
I tried to uninstall some of the system apps using Titanium Backup and SD Maid Pro but both failed to be able to remove any "expendable" system apps.

Yes, you can dirty flash updates to my ROM. Clean flashes are only necessary when switching from another ROM.

With dynamic partitions, the system partition is perfectly sized to hold exactly the amount of data the ROM has in it, so there will always be no free space. You need to use Magisk to systemize apps.

Dynamically sized partitions explains the "no free space" (and it makes total sense to layout the system partition this way). I was trying to use Magisk Systemize, took me revisiting it to realize that I didn't have Busybox installed. Installing the Magisk BusyBox module enabled me to Systemize the Phone app. Many thanks!
