After a bit of fiddling I managed to get it working and now I’m migrated… it didn’t work for me with the previously mentioned zip though.
Yay

Hmm, up to now I couldn’t get experimental running. I’m coming from 14.1 encrypted. I even tried wiping data (installing LOS, su and opengapps), but it didn’t help. After running for 30m nothing happened.
I need my phone, next tries will be pure LOS with data wiped, starting with small steps…
Latest twrp?
Opengapps for 15.1?

I also tried the version from 3rd, just to be sure… I have around 200 apps, maybe it needs more time than 40m the first time?
In LOS 14.1 it was possible to directly connect an Exchange account with Settings > Account > “Exchange”. Now only “Private (IMAP)” and “Private (POP3)” are available.
Yes, I also find the link about Exchange in connection with Google confusing.
@chrmhoffmann Is the ROM pre-odexed? That would be an issue for patching it with tingle to get signature spoofing permission for microg.org. Tingle (and any other available patcher, I guess, @ale5000) only supports non pre-odexed ROMs, :S
FYI: Obviously Lineage for microG will still work because it builds the ROM from source with the required permissions, but modding an official LOS ROM is still more flexible —and always will be. Modding also doesn’t come up with more nasty trust-your-builder issues, since Android can’t be built reproducibly.
Hi,
indeed, yes, lineage 15.1 does not yet have the exchange connector ready. It’s a work-in-progress.
Maybe workaround: If you use google apps, you can use gmail to connect to exchange.

I restored Lineage OS 14.1 a few days ago, then updated to lineage-14.1-20180808-nightly.
Yesterday I did the upgrade to lineage-15.1-20180809-experimental and it went flawlessly.
So I’m now a happy Lineage OS 15.1 user
Thanks a lot @chrmhoffmann for your great work!
As far as I know twrp decryption works if the device was encrypted with 14.1 (and then upgraded).

What?! Excuse me, but are you sure? Does UnifiedNLP’s self-check reports all is working?
UnifiedNLP needs (at least) the privileged permission android.permission.INSTALL_LOCATION_PROVIDER
on each boot and Android 8+ needs an special permission whitelist file which I didn’t started working on until yesterday.
So you think it will get included, in the end, with some delay?
I unfortunately need Exchange/ActiveSync to sync my work mail/calendar/contacts. No 15.1 for me, yet…
Uh! Thank you! Good to know. Maybe the permission is only needed once, not in every boot, so Android registered UnifiedNlp as a location provider in Nougat and passed it configured to Oreo just fine. I doubt however it would work if installed newly on Oreo without the permission whitelist file, though.
Yes, you can use gmail’s exchange connector, too (if you have gapps).
No ETA for native lineage exchange connector. You can monitor progress here:

I’d love to know if the ROM is pre-odexed prior to trying to install it, @chrmhoffmann, could you maybe dispel my doubts, please?
Is there a workaround to poweroff the phone? And how can you get to TWRP if the reboot to recovery doesn’t work?
Take the battery out.
See dic:recoverymode :
Or type adb reboot recovery
when you are connected to a PC.
To get to TWRP just press the volume-up button during the restart of the phone or when turning on the phone (until it vibrates).
You can power off either from TWRP or (when your phone is encrypted) from the screen where you enter your PIN/password to decrypt the device.
Edit: @Stefan was faster
No, that’s the thing that is broken with Lineage 15.1
No, adb reboot recovery works fine here on lineage 15.1. The problem is the new camera module that must trigger some bug in kernel, so it crashes (or some other problem).
