Thanks for the idea. This is, what I tried:
Result:
Restored my 14.1 again. Guess I will wait for the Gapps free versionâŚ
Wow thanks a ton @chrmhoffmann.
Does any of you flashed it with xposed?
I read someone tried and failed, but is it just a case or it wasnât suppose to work yet?
Yes, I tried and ran into a bootloopâŚWill try it again, when the build without gApps is availableâŚ
what is mandatory?
are you referring to the app SELinux Switch or to SELinux (permissive or enforcing mode).
Btw, have you ever thought about integrating WakeBlock into the ROM?
It is mandatory to switch SELinux (SEAndroid, really) to enforcing to get official LineageOS builds shipped to the public (remember this topic is just about test builds for early-testing).
AFAIK, he doesnât develop LineageOS itself, âjustâ the FP2 port (i.e. the device-dependent parts). As your request is a general, system-wide one, you should reach the LineageOS developers directly in their gerrit or via other channels.
Yeah for Oreo! (I love those coookies, best part: are vegan!) 
Iâll wait for a version w/o GApps and try it out aswell. I use my FP2 with 2 SIMs (private/work) so would need that functionality as well.
A question regarding back ups: if I backup everything with Titatnium Backup, will some of the system backups also work?
With Nougat or Oreo Wakelock blocking should really not be necessary. Besides, blocking a wakelock often complicates things and gives you bursts of battery usage.
Iâve been on this path since KitKat, and stopped it with Nougat, as fighting the culprits is more worth than just blocking the warning signs.
(see the relevant XDA Threads about BBS, Amplify and Battery Time)
Hi, did you wipe the device with the lineage recovery that I linked. Seems that there are problems with that. Can you try twrp? Btw: which filesystem? Ext4 or f2fs?
Chris
Yeah, exactly. Not discussing new features here. You can ask lineage guys on irc.
Dont even ask about xposed. Not supported officially by lineage.
Chris
Yes.
And then installing via this recoveryâs ADB sideload or via TWRP didnât make a difference.
Can do next time.
Ext4 now that Iâm back on 14.1 with reestablished encryption. Didnât check before, sorry.
Would F2FS be better?
I remember 
, we talked about it a lot in Battery life in LineageOS
I have done some test recently but havenât got the chance to update the thread yet. Hope I can spare some time soon.
Oh yes please without Gapps will be awesome !
And is update OTA will it be possible in future ?
When testing finishes and we got nightly official builds we will get everything we could expect from a regular ROM release of LOSâs quality. Until then, asking about those is probably futile (not about other things device- or upgrade-specific, though).
Chris regularly posts here about his developments and asks for specific questions, like the main here: is something broken for you or do you had any problem updating/booting?
There seems to be a bug in lineage recovery and f2fs. And lineage recovery doesnât wipe the crypto header. So please try again with twrp until the lineage recovery gets fixed.
Chris
But encryption was gone for me after wiping with the LineageOS recovery.
To clarify:
Before my first (failed) install I wiped everything with TWRP, but didnât format data to keep encryption in place. That was the install that didnât boot.
After that, I wiped everything with the LineageOS recovery, and the encryption was gone. Installing the test build afterwards did work, encrypting the phone with it didnât work.
So I take it that next time I should do everything in TWRP again, but additionally get rid of the encryption by formatting data?

âWith the Android Oreo update, Google continues to polish the Android experience for all users. The update notably brings picture-in-picture mode support from Android TV, the Autofill Framework which replaces the need for password managersâ laggy accessibility services, and notification channels for more fine-grained control over your notifications. In addition to these changes, some previously root-only tweaks such as theming your device no longer require root, so there are less reasons to root your phone. Still, for those of you who do root your devices, you now have another tool at your disposal: access to the Xposed Framework for Android Oreo (8.0/8.1).â

Is there a way to test this one while backing up my current OS (LOS+microG)?
Hereâs what I do âŚ
Then I can wipe and format and test all I like, and if I want to have the old system back âŚ
And voilà ⌠back on the old system as if nothing happened 
.
Edit for a slight correction: My ringtones arenât back after the restore.
The system backup restores the ringtone settings, but as my custom ringtone files donât come back until Internal Storage gets restored, the OS cleverly reverts to default sounds.
Cheers AnotherElk, that could be a nice one for #backup or something.
Gonna give it a whirl when Iâm sober. I forgot about that MyPhoneExplorer application and used Titanium Backup in the past. How are people on non-Windows doing this?
