I haven’t used a modem.zip yet, what’s the advantage? In other news, I have been running the every-other-nightly-ish builds, and I can report that for me at least 20171110 was a lot more stable than the latest one 20171113.

[image] oli.sax: Wonderfull ! :slight_smile: I’ll opt for the “dirty install”, to keep my apps installed. Dirty install (keep data and installed apps) If you instead don’t want to lose your current data, you can use our migration ZIP, that replaces the LineageOS’ keys with ours. However, if y…

A specific one for the LineagoOS+MicroG repos. So that when Lineage search for new available updates, it search in their repos… The migration file can be found here : https://download.lineage.microg.org/extra/ Edit: I assume this migration zip is needed if you come from any LOS version (official,…
