On German site heise.de I found this article ( https://heise.de/newsticker/meldung/LineageOS-Ableger-vermeidet-Google-Code-3879358.html ) telling there was a new fork of LineageOS replacing certain Google proprietary parts with open source MicroG components. According to https://lineage.microg.org/ …

and here we are: https://download.lineage.microg.org/FP2/

For me the issue was solved by enabling the option that you are asked if apps can use gcm. But I have also enabled device registration… :frowning:

I gave this a try, but I cannot succeed in installing it. I’m coming from FPOpen, and I followed the instructions doing a full wipe, but at the end, when lineage OS reboots, there are no icons, just a black screen with the wrong time, as if there were no applications. I noticed the instructions div…

Try disable in twrp the ZIP verification! Usely this stops the installation. Good luck. Greetings ivi

Thank you for the suggestion. As is often the case, I had misread the documentation, and installing went like a breeze.

Are there instructions to do an OTA update of this fork? I was notified there was a new version, I downloaded it, the phone then rebooted to TWRP… and that’s it. There was no automatic installation, and I cannot find where the zip file has been downloaded. Does OTA updating work for you?

That worked great, thanks a lot. For others, the tricky bit is the path were the file is downloaded, which is root:/data/lineageos_updates.

Shouldn’t be necessary to locate the package. Try to update your TWRP before the next OTA update —older TWRP versions cannot update OTAs automatically, like the one included in FP Open.

I did install version 3.2.1.0 from https://dl.twrp.me/FP2/ . It’s not the correct one?

Yes, that version should work just fine.
