No Experimental Build for Motorola X Play (lux) - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hello everybody,
why is no experimental build for Moto X Play present? I want to upgrade my cyanogenmod 13. to LineageOs 14.1. Is it possible to upgrade without the exmperimental build (and without loosing data)?

Experimental builds are released based on the device's needs for the upgrade compatibility.
If the Lineage team decides that a device doesn't require an Experimental Migration, then they are confident that the clean flash of the Nightly won't result in anything negative.
They only concentrate on the device ROM's and not the saving of the apps and such.
The Experimental Migration builds being able to Migrate apps is just a bonus feature. With that stated, not all apps are compatible and may need to be removed after a Migration has been accomplished.
It's hard to explain via text so I hope that I explained it okay.
Peace and Love!

upgrading from CM to LineageOS Moto Pure

I would like to upgrade to the latest nightly of LineageOS...just to stay current....but I don't want to lose one file.....a very important file to me.....my blocked/spam caller list. I have the last CM nightly installed as well as TWRP and I think SU (not sure).
Can I just put the copy the LineageOS sip to my phone and install using TWRP...or do I have to reload all the applications (and their files?). If I do this, what do I clear, if anything before or after installing the LineageOS nightly?

If an Experimental version has been released for your device then using that to migrate from CM to LOS can be done without loosing anything.

Lineage OS updater missing in settings

I have the latest Lineage OS Rom (Feb 22,2017) on my MI Max Hydrogen and noticed that the Lineage update option is now missing within settings > about phone. Not sure if it was taken out in the last build or what happened to it.
I did flash a new gasps package last night for Google assistant however, no other changes. I'll do a new install if I have to, just thinking someone might have some insight beforehand.

LineageOS 1st of January 1970

I just got a notification on my phone (HTC One m8) saying that there is a new update to LineageOS. When I open up the app the updater says that it's from the 1st of January 1970. Still says nightly and LineageOS 14.1 Android 7.1. Considering its the 1st of April I would think it's an April's fools, but I'm not sure. Anyone else in the same situation?
Thanks in advance
@BeastyUmbrella, They apparently released a corrected version on the 30th:

So I should just stick with the update from the 30th of March?
I have attached a screenshot of the update.
Thanks for the reply!

I really do believe you! I did notice that this issue came up for a recent release on a few devices within the Lineage's Gerrit and Github.
That was an issue that i had to see with my own eyes and i did... I was amazed at this too...
What you see on the link i had previously provided is the Official source for the releases.
I believe that the 1970 release error, though was a good year, was pushed out only through the LineageOS Device Updates.
Remember that if you ever see any device updates that do not look right, DO NOT, under any circumstances update your device with a questionable update. When in doubt, defer to the LineageOS website for the update. You may end up messing up a device ROM install and end up losing everything and have to start it all over with a fresh install.
Until you see a newer, and date appropriate, update from within your device, stick with the LineageOS website downloads and, if you decide to, update using the LineageOS website.
To add, the device updates are the same as the one's released through the website.
I wish you the best of luck!

Reporting bugs, issues, etc... within the XDA Forum very rarely ever gets the attention from any of the Lineage Developers (though a few of them do take a peek on occasion) but, there's a few preferred methods that Lineage asks for users to report them.
The following link provides a way (and outlines) for reporting bugs found in the LineageOS releases.
How to submit a LineageOS bug report to Lineage
The following link has some more options. Just scroll down to "Report bugs!"...
Welcome to the LineageOS wiki!
The following link has even more options for communicating with the Lineage developers for Contributing as well as receiving Support.

Search here in XDA and report in thread where your ROM is published.
Lineage 16.0 updates failing on Samsung devices
All nightly builds on Samsung devices since 8/9/19 are having trust failures when trying to update either with the updater or manual update with TWRP. All my devices are running the latest bootloaders. I believe this change from the change log of 08/09/19 is causing the problem:
Changes included in lineage-16.0-20190809-nightly-gts210vewifi-signed.zip
msm8976-common: Add TZ.BF.3.0.3-00077 to trustzone assert android_device_samsung_msm8976-common.

Support on HTC ONE Max (t6)

Hi!
I wounder - since last image is dated 3-31-2017, will there be any further support with lineageos for my device?
Thanks,
LightofMagic
There's an unofficial build here, from May 23.
As for support for the Max, since flyhalf retired his phone, LineageOS needs someone to pick up the development work and building new images. Is there any brave soul?

Well, unfortunately, according to the following Official LineageOS Link for the t6, it looks like the t6 is no longer being developed by Lineage.
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/t6
Though, there's nothing really wrong with continuing with what you have but, if you're looking to update the firmware, you'll have to look to an Unofficial build.
I wish you the best of luck!
