Exactly the same for me. In fact, when I switch off airplane mode, Wi-Fi is automatically reconnected which I didn’t get with LineageOS 16 (I would have to switch off Wi-Fi on the FP2 and switch it on again to reconnect) – so to me Wi-Fi works better with 17 than with 16.
Updater gives an error message so far, but I assume this might just suggest there simply is no new update yet. I believe this is unchanged from 16. Still the message remains confusing.
LiveDisplay doesn’t work for me, too. So I guess its back to Red Moon until there’s a fix for Live Display.
TIL: Signal can’t be restored from TitaniumBackup, as it uses Android KeyStore, which, by design, cannot be extracted/backed-up. Use Signal’s own back-up feature to save messages. Thought I’d share this.
Looking forward to test:
if Netguard works again
if wifi is still connected during sleep / auto-reconnects on wake-up
if the “Snap” camera app puts it’s photos again where they belong: my photo folder
if the “Home” system profile auto-disables my lockscreen pattern while I’m on my home WiFi… (looking good)
if UnifiedNLP and GPS fix still works
if F-Droid priviledged extension (automatic updates) still works
… all the other little rough edges of LineageOS 16.1
@Singulus I managed to root my devices by sideloading Magisk-v20.4.zip from here in step 7 of Lineage Install guide and then later-on installing MagiskManager from the same site.
There seem to bee issues with the F-Droid Privileged Extension. However, there’s a Magisk Module available for those of you who rooted their FP2 LineageOS 17. 1 by flashing Magisk.
Just go to Magisk Manager > Downloads, search for “privileged”, install the F-Droid Privileged Module and reboot. Worked like a charm for me.
I actually was curious and tried today’s LOS build plus GAPPs. It worked, but only after formatting the data partition. Without format the GAPPs first install wizard never completed and crashed always before finishing.
I’m actually not sure if a simple factory reset would have been sufficient. But as I only changed a couple of settings and installed like three apps from fdroid with yesterday’s broken build, not much damage was done by formatting.
