Lineage OS questions before installing - LineageOS Questions & Answers

I am looking to install the latest stable Lineage OS, which I believe is 14.1, on my rooted LG G3 D850 running Kitkat.
1) Can I still use and install apps from the play store ?
2) There are a few pre-installed apps from the LG OS that I like, mainly Visual Voicemail and Weather.
Can I somehow use these ?
3) When will Lineage support Android 8 or newer?
4) When a Lineage OS update is available, do I need to go through the complete install process and loose all my data ?
Thanks in advance
Tony

Unable to access root

I'm using asus zenfone 2 ze551ml
it's running latest build 21/9/17 of lineage os 14.1
im unable to get root access
i have checked my system folder in root directory through TWRP
Su file is present but although after allowing apps and ADB to get root access in developer setting
the ui which apparently ask for root access is not popping up
and root checker suggests that your device is not properly rooted at all
This problem came up when is switched rom lineage os 14.1 (nougat 7.1.1)
to lineage os 14.1(nougat 7.1.2)
recently updated su addons dated 25/06/2017 are having such a problem for me
plz update the su addon for X86(or firmware) or atleast give me the reason to stay on this rom
Thanks A Lot

Did you upgrade or do a full wipe?
Some stuff that I read indicated that uninstalling old su before installing the new su build was a good idea. It was released for those that had issue with the old one and not really a upgrade.
I recently did a full wipe on my phone (moto z) and used latest su on 7.1.2 without problems.
I suggest checking out what the local forum thread of your device says. If this is a device and build specific issue I'm sure some other people noticed it too.

I know what are you trying to say
That many device uses same su so check you my phones specific
But tbh what is know is there are only 5 devices running x86 cpu zenfone 2,4,5,6
And only one of them is running lineage os 14.1 other dont support officially so they use 13.0 's addon zip
That means only zenfone 2 can flash 14.1's addon su
And FYI I did wiped first
And xiomi's phine are having same problem with this popup
Finally a solution........ That after long desperate efforts worked for me. You can flash the Magisk 13.0 zip. Mind you an upgraded version will lead you to a loop to your custom recovery. Magisk 13.0 is zenfone 2 x86 architecture compatible. Good luck. Just got this solution last night. Tell me if this helped you and also if you found a better way.

I've heard good things about LineageOS and I would like to try it
1) I'm still in Lollipop and I didn't want to update to Marshmallow because of the bootloader troubles there was some ages ago. Is it better if I go from Lollipop?
2) Any missing features or things not working in the Zenfone 2 version of LineageOS? Is there any implemented functionality for the Zenfone Flip Cover?
3) Is LineageOS less prone to freezes and crashes than normal Lollipop? Cuz the main reason I want to switch to LineageOS is because my phone is now very prone to crashes and freezes (And, no, factory resetting doesn't even help). How's the RAM usage? (I have the 2GB RAM model)
4) Just out of curiosity, but I heard about dual boot patching. When it is recommended?
5) Anything more you guys could recommend me to?
As of now I'm in stock Zenfone Lollipop with root, unlocked bootloader and an Xposed I'm not using right now (it might be version 78)

Hello
1) It's okay if you flash from Lollipop. Most tutorials for LineageOS will tell you if you need to upgrade your bootloader to Marshmallow bootloader.
2) I use Groovy Android (the latest version), which is based on Resurrection Remix based on LineageOS (android 7.1), and everything works well! But no functionality for the ZenFone Flip Cover unfortunately
3) I had freezes on the stock ROM, but now with a custom ROM my phone is stable and fast
4) I didn't try this

Main point for xposed: what Android version? For xposed I recommend nougat. LinageOS 14.1 is still getting security patches.

Latest custom rom for this device is lineage mint found in dev section based on lineage os 17.1
Latest Netflix at time of writing can be downloaded from here

If you are rooted use magisk to hide root (including hide magisk with a random package name)

LineageOS h815-userdebug 11 RQ3A.211001.001eng.jenkin.20220811.162238 dev-keys

Hello, I have LineageOS Android loaded - exactly this build > LineageOS h815-userdebug 11 RQ3A.211001.001eng.jenkin.20220811.162238 dev-keys
On LG G4 H815.
Can I get help and guidance on what to do?
I need to know if it is possible to update Bootloader and Modem to a newer version? Please tell me if flashing via Recovery TWRP - via Zip archive - LineageOS Android - I also update Bootloader partition and Modem partition? At the moment I need LineageOS Android 18.1 to turn on my Google Chrome browser. I confirm that I flashed the Google Gapps - Full Zip package - the one that takes the most time.
I am addressing you with a very sincere request. Because I need the latest Google Play Store. I am in a difficult financial situation. I am a victim of domestic violence, I am devastated due to lack of nutrition. Because the Biological Father doesn't love me. When I was a little boy, my father used to beat me, additionally he yelled at me when I wanted to get a job in my life, he attacked me that I would hang myself in life. This is not what a healthy adult does. I am grateful to the Xda Forum community that I can write my request for help, for support for my device LG G4 H815.
Is Custom Rom - Android a good choice - if it's LineageOS, does it still receive support for LineageOS 18.1 via the official LineageOS update channel
First of all, I want to have the lightest possible Custom Rom - I'm not sure about LineageOS 18.1, so I decided to leave a request for help. I need to choose a Custom Rom - one to have the option of having the latest Google Play Store in the first place - because I'm on Social Security - at the moment I'm not working, I can't give up in life. He fights every day to regain his health. Please write me help. I need help. One man wanted to send me a transfer - I mean withdraw money to a BlockChain account but this LG G4 H815 phone - had Android 6.0 MarshMallow and I confirm that for MarshMallow I don't have updates when it comes to BlockChain applications. So the account we tried to create failed and I couldn't activate the account.
I don't professionally know Custom Android Rom for G4 H815. That's why I come to ask you for help. How to do it to have the lightest Custom Rom, with the ability to have an increase in Rom and Ram memory. My question is, for Android Nougat 8.0 can I have the lightest Custom Rom - available for G4 H815?
I think LineageOS Android 18.1 / Android 11. It's a bit heavy in operation for the G4 H815/ Especially without adding extra Ram. and adding Rom memory.
Please help and support. Needs Online Help.
I am asking you to send me information which Custom Rom is the most stable. I inform you that I have a problem with the fact that when I try to launch Google Play - My G4 H815 on LineageOS 18.1 resets. Same thing when I try to launch google chrome. I kindly ask for help. xzenx1234x
