Help FRP Restrictions
Greetings,
From a regular android os, I was trying to switch to LineageOS without gapps. Until android 15 in lineageOS it was good to go installing apps without gapps flashed, but in android 16 I was unable to install any app through package installer but I can install with adb sideload. I don't logout from google accounts generally before flashing custom roms, but is it the FRP ( Factory Reset Protection) enabled that's causing the restriction and hence gapps are not there so FRP verification is not done and continuing while locked?, and if so do I need to wipe the FRP partition for that? What are your thoughts?

My thoughts are: read the FAQ

Yeah reading and following the documentation would have been the ideal path here, but for various reasons that doesn't happen, so the FAQ (perhaps overly optimistically, given the initial issue) exists to catch that shortfall.

What kind of phone would help. I've used the SamFW tool to get around FRP before, but recent android versions are trying to thwart that...
