In LOS 17.1 there is no longer the possibility to limit an app's permission to wakelock, start on boot etc. as it was in LOS16. Or did I miss the place where to set these things?
Is it planned, to revive these things in LOS 17.1 or 18?

By LOS, I mean LineageOS.
I have noticed that it is not getting a nightly build over a month since LOS 16.1 was released. I guess this is because N7's official LOS version is 14.1 and LOS does not provide updates for versions that is more than 1-major-version older. (That is, they currently only updates LOS 16.0 and LOS 15.1)
One could think that N7 skips LOS 15.1 and get LOS 16, but my question is, was there any such precedent case for any other device? If not and N7 has been abandoned by LOS for good, I would probably have to abandon LOS and get some other custom ROMs for N7.
I don't know the answer to your specific question but I have installed an unofficial LineageOS 15.1 for Nexus 7 2013 with the latest (March) security updates.

I'm really pleased overall. Seems snappier and more battery efficient as compared to 14.1. Everything works apart from I have no compass, but I think this might be a hardware problem (not sure as I didn't check before updating). Obviously with it being unofficial there are no OTA updates and I'll have to keep an eye out for any new updates and do it manually. I did try a Pie rom but it seemed laggy and buggy.
I did a bad update on LOS 16. Device does not get unlocked. I need a LOS 15.1 Version, but all downloads are gone
Hello
Now there is the excellent LOS 17.1 without GAPPS (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82701265&postcount=271), it's possible install microg via Magisk.
Does anyone know of a way to get signature spoofing working in microg on LOS 17.1? I've seen a few bits around but they don't support android 10 as yet
thanks
Hi!
I have been looking some time for a Lineage 16.0 device tree to build Lineage 16.0 to this phone and as I forked the 17.1 repo made by whatawurst I started to change it accordingly and the reason for it is that I intend to build libhybris with Lineage 16.0 as a base since there's no hybris-17.1....... YET (It's coming though).... to it so that I may boot Sailfish OS as well.
I had to change the standard local manifest and make my own repos for obvious reasons.
Now here's the fun part.
I extracted the blobs from the phone and put them in my vendor repo and synced without a problem.
I then ran source build/envsetup.sh && lunch lineage_beyond2lte-userdebug and it worked OK.
As I started to build Lineage I got an error about a missing ril file and YES I suspect that it's missing a lot more files as well.
I have no clue why ./extract-files.sh in /android/lineage/device/samsung/beyond2lte looked for files that aren't in the stock vendor directory.
I guess it differs from Lineage version to another.
I also know that Lineage 16.0 won't boot on a Q bootloader, but I don't intend to boot Lineage after it's built.
I'd appreciate if someone here would be kind enough to help me fix any missing files so that Lineage 16.0 will build.
When I can confirm that it builds I'll start to try: https://github.com/mer-hybris/hybris-patches/tree/hybris-16.0
Here's my device tree for Lineage 16.0: https://github.com/Umeaboy/android_device_samsung_beyond2lte
Hi,
I have Lineage 18.1 with Magisk and GAPPS (pico) installed on a Oneplus 8T. Now I'd like to update to a newer Lineage 18.1 nightly build. The Lineage Updater doesn't offer this option (why not? Wouldn't it be a nice feature request? ) thus I assume I have to update to a higher nightly build of 18.1 by myself.
Am I right that the update procedure is the same as installing LineageOS 18.1 from recovery except that I shouldn't do neither a Factory Reset nor a Format data / factory reset? (to keep my apps)
As I have Magisk installed, I assume that I have to repeat patching the boot.img. Right?
I'm unsure about GAPPS. Do I need to sideload it again after having installed a newer nightly build of LineageOS 18.1 and before booting?
Many thanks for your support.
you are not getting updates for 18.1 because 19 is out. uograde instructions are on lineage website
