Seems to be somewhat random. I’ve never lost them (currently running LOS+mG 2018/10/15).

Actually I wouldn’t have thought much about it, as I inexpertly consider Bluetooth a mess along with e.g. WiFi and USB, where unexpected stuff can happen at any time :slight_smile: … but I thought I’d mention it, because …

Who actually maintains LineageOS+microG?

i have the regular version!

But is there a reason why they provided three updates? Should i install the newest? im not sure because there are no changes listed on the changelog…

And me I check this other page, similar to yours but little different :wink:

https://download.lineageos.org/FP2/changes/

However I don’t understand why there were 3 updates in 3 days, as there is no new changes to incorporate…

lineageos.org gave “502 Bad Gateway” just now. Wanted to check if they announced anything about going from weeklies to actual nightlies :wink:

https://www.lineageos.org/ works, though.

Edited to add:

The changelog has a point Nightly + Monthly Builds. so this may explain the nightly builds.

There’s this from November 12 (latest LineageOS for microG builds are from November 11, but not for the Fairphone 2, mind) …

https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-15-1-nightly-builds-monthly-14-1-builds/

And as long as the relation of this to microG builds is unclear, perhaps keep an eye on this one here …

I have LOS+MicroG (thats why I wrote here). As far as I understood till now LOS+microg was probably not able to Change to the new nightlies and thats why the latest Version is from last week?

Just my guess.
But the LineageOS for microG build cycle stopped at November 11, when at November 12 LineageOS switched to the nightly/monthly builds … I can’t see that as a coincidence.

That mean no more update from LOS+microg fork from now?

I hope not! I’ll wait some weeks
