Thanks to @chrmhoffmann and @z3ntu we can all use Lineage OS (G%§$e free Android N!) on the FP2! Let’s gather our experiences in this thread. Get the image and see an updated list of known issues here: [image] Porting LineageOS to FP2 Development Edit by @Stefan : This i…

If you do a standard wipe/factory reset from within twrp, it won’t wipe your external data (fotos, music,… ) only app data. Which is different from a factory reset from the ROM

thanks for your answers, @retsifp , @lklaus , @snevas ! The wakelock-problem seems to be solved, as you can read here . Two other questions: if GoogleMaps is the only Google-App I need to use … Do I really need to flash “ GApps-Mini ”, as this is the lowest package which includes Maps? I guess only…

Ok, for the record: I’ve checked* and Gobble Maps app’s basic functions worked with microG (an open source implementation of Google Services). Showing the map, searching a location and planning a trip. I don’t have a Google account to check login, but according to microG’s supported features, it sho…
