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!

Experimental Builds

Hi I am currently a cm user on cm13 and I wanted to wait a couple of months before switching to lineageos does anyone still have to experimental build for the M8? I don't want to lose my data.

I do have the "lineage-14.1-20170125-experimental-m8-signed.zip".
Though, i don't, personally, have the device, I had grabbed it for another member who had asked for a copy a while ago, the member ended up not wanting it anymore so I never uploaded it to my File Host Account.
I saw your question and your in luck! I still have it and will upload it and provide you a link to download it. Just give me a little time since the File Host site is running a bit slow.
Just an FYI... The Experimental builds are called Experimental Migration builds for (as you probably already know) the migration from the CyanogenMod to LineageOS.
In the meantime, here's a link that should be helpful in referring to that outlines the process in using the Experimental Migration builds.
Official LineageOS - Update & Build Prep
The following are some more helpful information regarding your device.
Official LineageOS - Info about M8
Official LineageOS - Install LineageOS on M8
I'll post the link as soon as the experimental build is done uploading.

Noooo..... I'm stuck in the Nexus with Kirk and Picard!!!
LMAO!
Well here's the link to the experimental build
lineage-14.1-20170130-experimental-m8-signed
Some individuals ask this question but, the MD5 file is only the checksum file that TWRP can use to verify the zip file. If you want to use it, just place it in the same location where the zip file is.
Be sure to read the information on the following link.
Official LineageOS - Update & Build Prep
This way you will understand that, after the migration has completed, you need to reboot back into Recovery to flash the latest nightly build.
*** PLEASE NOTE: If you use SuperSU and GApps, be sure to flash in the following order (at the same time).
1) Experimental build
2) SuperSU
3) GApps (for Nougat)
Then after the Experimental migration has completed, and your ready to flash the latest nightly (which is required to complete the migration), be sure to flash them in the following order.
1) Nightly build
2) SuperSU
3) GApps (for Nougat)
I know that it's redundant but, the LineageOS will undo the SuperSU and conflict with the GApps. This is why it's important to flash in the order above.
FINALLY... A hint... The way to know that the first Experimental migration has completed is basically after the device is booted and your done with the initial setup. Simply... If you are staring at the Home Screen... Then it's ready for the Nightly build to be flashed in the above order.
I did my best to explain this via text.
Please let me know how it went!
I wish you the best of luck!

@darobbe, have you tried to search/post this question within the following thread?
[ROM] [Kernel] [Team-M8] [UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 by David 617
You should be able to get a more appropriate response from a member there who has/knows your specific device.
Good Luck!

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!
***Please Note: As always, I welcome any member to help with further valuable information/clarification for any of my posts.

Bluetooth audio patch from aosp

Can developers answer if this patch is merged to Lineageos? It's about Bluetooth audio real-time priority for glitchless playback.
https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/platform/system/bt/+/379973/
If no, can it be merged at least to newest version 15.1?

You'll have to track this within the following Official LineageOS Gerrit channel.
https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/project:LineageOS/android_system_bt
Just an FYI... I don't believe that the LineageOS area of the forum is even looked at by any of the Official Lineage Team Developers.
Only a handful of them even monitor any of the Official LineageOS threads that's on the Forum as well.
The Lineage Team has a preferred method for providing support and guidance that's outlined on the following Official Lineage web page.
https://www.lineageos.org/community/
Good Luck!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.

This patch is in review as abandoned, I'm not a developer and can't say if it is really in use or not.
