Unicode characters missing - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hello,
I installed last week LOS 14.1 on my S4. Everything works great, but I've noticed that some custom characters aren't displayed, and instead I see rectangular boxes with checkmarks in them. I've noticed it in the Twitter app, where I can't see some people's names because they were written with special characters like ????, ???????? or ????????. These special characters are perfectly visible on windows, but not on my phone. And since I can't be sure wether it's related to lineage os or not, I've posted my question here
Does anyone know this issue and how to solve it ? Thank you in advance.

Moto G4 (athene) has very strange SIM behavior

Alright, this is gonna get a little weird.
So, I installed Lineage OS 15.1 today with standard GApps, and some weird stuff started happening with the SIM and service and stuff.
First, the service just wasn't working. Once I got that fixed, then it started alternating between LTE and nothing multiple times per second for maybe 10-15 minutes. Idk how long, really. Then it works fine!-- until it doesn't want to anymore. Then it says at the top where your service company would be, "Roaming icon disabled" or something like that. Then, after like a couple of minutes, it said NO SIM CARD and then after that, the roaming icon disabled thing. I took out the sim and put it back in, and it did the alternating thing. When it does the alternating thing, on the notification bar, it flashes R in the exponential location of the mobile data area (best description I could give...) and it shows my service provider without anything else at the top-left. LTE flashes in the notification panel (NOT THE BAR, the R takes the place).
Also, I set it to where Roaming is DISABLED.
Any ideas as to what might be happening and how to fix it?
Thanks!

I don't have this device but, since there's no Official LineageOS 15.1, I'm assuming that you installed the Unofficial build.
Your best bet is to post this question within the following Unofficial LineageOS 15.1 thread for your device.

Just an FYI...
That thread (i had previously provided you) was located within the following Moto G4 "Plus" Area of the Forum...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus
... Technically your "Athene" device is not a "Plus" but, is the Moto G4 that's located within the following, device dedicated, Area of the Forum.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4
I find this is typically when certain developments (like Firmware and such) become "Unified".
An example of this can be seen by the following Official LineageOS 14.1 thread...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3532575
... You'll notice that the thread title states "for Motorola Moto G4/G4 Plus".
Another little helper... The 2 device dedicated areas of the forum (above) has thread guides, tutorials, etc... for your device.
Just keep that in mind for when you perform a search for anything specific you're looking for in the future.
I wish you the best of luck!

OnePlus 2 Lineage OS Twitch Quality Problem

I've seen this problem since lineage os 14. Now I don't know if anybody else has seen or has been bothered with it, but it is really annoying.
I am running on Lineage OS 15.1 on Oneplus 2 and the twitch app, whatever quality I use(be it 720p or 1080p) is showing this pixelated like quality.
I would report the problem but I'm not exactly sure how.

Email app - No Connection!

I have a OnePlus One phone running LineageOS 15.1 I update the software once a week, but have noticed that some time over the last month, or so, The email application I have installed, Google's Inbox, can no longer collect email whilst I'm connected to the Mobile Internet.
I've checked the settings and the app is allowed to use mobile data, so there should not be an issue. However only when the phone enters a WiFi network will email be collected. If I try to force email collection then the app complains that there is no data connection. I tried to re-install the app but that didn't help at all.
I'd be grateful of anybody has any ideas about what I can do to resolve this issue.

Thanks for that suggestion, unfortunately I joined up to solve this problem and I don't have enough social credit to post there at the moment. Have to build up social credit here before I can ask there. What a time to be alive

OMS support

Does LOS 16.0 has OMS support?

Not yet (Officially) but, I do see a handful of Unofficial Builds that reflects OMS and/or Substranium within the Topic/Title of the Developments Thread.
This doesn't mean that the Lineage Team hasn't been working on nor has forgotten about OMS either. I do know that I've seen work being done on this in a handful of areas.
I had only seen mentioned, in a few areas/topics of conversation regarding the Lineage Team creating a separate Developmental Repo (within Github) that's specific to LineageOS OMS. I just haven't gotten in looking around and/or asking about this.
Personally, I believe that they are working on it (in more than one form or another) and just haven't worked out everything yet as to its Operation, Implementation and/or Stability.
This is "probably" the best bottom, line information, you're going to get unless there's something that I had missed (which is always a possibility).
Let's keep our fingers!
EDIT: I had just located the following XDA Article...
https://www.xda-developers.com/lineageos-15-feature-list-overview-screenshots-video/
... Towards the end of it, you'll see the following paragraph:
"Finally, some of you may be wondering where the CyanogenMod Theme Engine replacement is. There is no theme engine because there doesn’t need to be one. Android 8.0 Oreo natively supports Sony’s Overlay Manager Service, which means that LineageOS doesn’t need to do anything to support custom themes. If you want to install a custom theme, then you can follow our tutorial here."

I really can't elaborate any further but, I had also just found a few references that I can only sum it up with...
"The Lineage Team has been working hard on removing the CMTE (CyanogenMod Theme Engine) code from the LineageOS Firmware."
... And I also have noticed that they don't have any plans, at this time, to implement the Substranium OMS.
I'm hoping that better news/guidance comes soon. Maybe @curiusrom can help with any corrections/clarifications to the above information.
Good Luck!
