I apologize if this is the wrong thread to ask this in. I am currently running 14.1 on my g4 play with no issues, i do have a list of updates to install that i have let go for a month or so, can i install the latest one or do i have to install them from earliest to newest ?
Thank you.
Are you referring to the appropriate order in which you would need to install/update the LineageOS Firmware?
If so, then there's none...
Updating/Flashing the latest version of LineageOS 14.1 over the one installed is called Dirty Flashing. Don't think of the use of the term "Dirty" as a bad thing. The term "Dirty Flashing" is only used as a reference regarding the way the Firmware was/is updated. There's nothing wrong with doing this.
Think of the newest release of LineageOS as being "backwards compatible"...
This means that the releases between the one you currently have installed and the current one that's released has the updates in series.
Simply put... The current release has all the updates, patches, etc... that are included in the ones between the current one installed and the current one released so you CAN flash the current one WITHOUT worrying about anything missed by the other releases in between.
I hope that I had explained this okay via text...
This is not to state that, if you dirty flash the latest release, you will also need to re-flash a few other items ONLY if you have them installed as well. I'm just stating that if you currently have SuperSU and/or the XPosed Framework installed, you may need to add them to the flash order as well.
1) LineageOS Firmware.
2) SuperSU (only if currently installed).
3) XPosed Framework (only if currently installed).
You shouldn't need to flash the GApps again because, if you already have it, the updated LineageOS will not affect the GApps already installed.
If you require any further assistance or additional member guidance, your best bet is to post your question within the following Official LineageOS thread for your device.

I do wish you the best of luck!
