Update Questions

Hi, I'm quite new to LineageOS and have a few questions regarding updating to a new build.

  1. Can I just install a new build without wiping my system and data partition?
  2. Do I still have to wipe Dalvik and cache or is it useless?
  3. Do I have to install Magist again or is it still present after the update?

Thanks for answering these questions.

Thanks for answering these questions.
afaik:
- If you do a security update inside the same LOS-version - yes. If you upgrade for example from 14.1 to 15 or do a change from LOS to another custom ROM - no.
- I would strongly recommend to do these wipes.
- I don't use Magisk, so I don't know. Supersu always survived the security updates.
Hope I could help a bit.

3. Still present after update

I have the setup wizard boot problem, I resolved that by deleting the setup wizard apk via twrp. However non of the gapps work... Nor does the home button. The phone was wiped prior to install. Any ideas?

Hello
Anyone have problems with screen mirroring function and downloading files in applications like Gmail or adding widgets in lock screen from settings menu ?
I have latest version of LOS .

no sim detected

Hey !
Have a bit of a mystery here. I dirty flashed the last build (02/2019) and my SIM got undected.
No bigie, I had a backup so I restore the system partition from my previous fonctional state...
but the sim is still undetected. What the **** happend ? should have I wiped something else ?
The problem's solved after a full restore...
Any thoughts ?

[EDIT]

So here's the trick : made a full nandroid backup from my functional build.
Flashed the 02/2019 build, flashed addonSU from lineageOS official, flashed Xposed, flashed spookcity kernel
THEN restored everything but system (restored EFS, Cache, boot and data). reboot and BAM ! That's it, everything works back to normal.
If anyone has an expliaction though, I'm curious... is it a kernel issue ?

Sometimes mine boots up without SIM detection. Rebooting fixes the issue. Don't know why it's happening.

Hey there,
thanks for keeping this rom alive, great work, but:
I still got some wifi issues:

When i'm with mobile Data, everything works fine.
With wifi activated, some apps sometimes won't receive data, sometimes it's damn slow.
I don't even get push notifications.
No matter which wifi i am connected to.

Is there a different patch/driver for wifi available?
I tried already spookcitys Kernel (v4.0), no change.
My model is G800F
