I have managed to fix everything and now the phone works. I have lost all the installed apps. However, before this TWRP made a backup of my phone. However, this backup includes the error that prevents the phone from starting. Thus, I was wondering what app may I use to restore only the backed up apps? I heard that Titanium Backup can read this Nandroid backups and do what I need. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I have finally managed to flash your build and get it working. However, Titanium Backup cannot get access to the Sd card, and all google products (including Chrome and G Services) end up in an error when installed.
Do you know why?
You need To install Google Apps via RECOVERY (TWRP)

choose ARM 8.1 PICO or NANO
For Titanium you need To Grant access to SD card i guess
Any tips on how to enable 24bit HD DAC output on poweramp?. Tried the alpha releases, it defaults to native 16bit output.
I have been looking a little further into this GPS issue, and you look like you were possibly right in regards to LOS not connecting to GLONASS
Using the GPS Test app, on the Satellites bar graph showing S/N ratio (ie not the circular one showing satellite possitions), there are numbers under the graph in boxes; empty outline with a white number. When a satellite is used in attaining a fix, the boxes become filled in with black writing; as opposed to empty with white writing. Now, the numbers underneath identify each satellite. Numbers less than than 35 are GPS and ones greater than 35 are GLONASS.
I never get any satellite numbered greater than 35 highlighted
even when I get a fix using 10+ satellites and the ones > 35 have great S/N ratios. Which implies to me either that 1. the GLONASS satellites are not being used in the actual fix
2. the GLONASS satellites are used to get better info regarding the GPS satellites locations, or my location, and not used for the actual fix
3. the OS/hardware is using the GLONASS satellites to attain & hold a fix, but is NOT reporting it back to applications as being used, and hence GPS Test doesn't know the satellites are being used and reports as such.
4. or something totally different.
The thing that surprised me, is that the exact same thing was happening on a different device; a Nexus 5 running an official Nougat RR
Look like that is politic's game, glonass was blocked due to sanctions against of russia.I have been looking a little further into this GPS issue, and you look like you were possibly right in regards to LOS not connecting to GLONASS

There is only one way to use glonass - have to flash old rom.hmmm... you would think that they would keep all the free benefits of the "east" and only "sanction" the things that the "east" benefited from the "west". Do you have any source for this? or is it your theory?Look like that is politic's game, glonass was blocked due to sanctions against of russia.
And they still sell GLONASS as a feature of US smartphones
Caused by the unresolved issue with Bluetooth connection and also GPS instability (often lose fix while driving) I switched back to 14.1, unfortunately. I hope this issues can be fixed in further builds, but for now I have to use 14.1 as my kids want to hear their stuff by BT in the car stereo. With 15.1 the BT connection drops after some minutes and don't come back until reboot. (Bluetooth terminates at all).

Thank you for this awesome rom.
I love you developers and thank you for your job.
I want change my phone because i hate lollipop stock rom. But i install this rom and my phone is like the nowadays flagships. Perfect and fast rom with many cool features. Camera, wifi, mobile adat, sim card, sd card, bluetooth, gps work well. Battery same as the old, so not drain faster.
Some mini bug:
1, LineOs 15.1's stock music player always crash, but if you block that and install etc. pulsar music player everything will work fine.
2, AudioFX not work, but i dont care because the phone's sound is perfect.( maybe louder than the stock rom)
3, And i miss the wifi options to set wifi always on or off when screen off.

After installing, netflix was updated, and is now searchable in google play store.
Also, one of the banking apps I use, now didn't crash anymore upon starting.
Thanks for SELinux enforcing, @kyasu !

I have been waiting for this, time to upgrade to los 15.1 from 14.1
So what still needs to be fixed?
Camera? GPS? Battery performance?

Camera,gps,batterY
Gps work. i can use that, no problem.
The battery performance is also better than the stock. The whole system is tip-top and dont drain battery. I think with this update thia rom should be Official
Camera is cool, open 2-3x faster than the stock camera. Lineage camera maybe need some new features but i think that is ok.

Early days with the latest release, but so far the powercycle issue I had seems fixed. Rebooted a few times and there was no samsung splash screen resets.
Also seems a long time issue I had with audio notifications where the sound would skip and cut off has been fixed.
Google pay still works, but its a mystery how to get it to work after a reboot. I end up doing some random things like nfc resets, Bluetooth reset, default payment method reselection etc to get it working.
