[ROM][Official][Nightly] LineageOS 16.0 for OnePlus 3/3T

[Eric_Lev]

Is it possible to upgrade from (latest) official nightly v15.1 to official nightly v16 without wiping data?
I've tried an early build which in the end forced me to reinstall everything (because of bootloop) and would like to avoid doing that over again.
TIA.

In recovery mode :
- install the highly recommended TWRP (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397907195)
- boot to recovery
- wipe the two caches and format system
- install lineage-16.0-20190306-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip, GApp and then SU addon (if you want)
- boot to system, wait and enjoy ... Perhaps!

Who would have guessed that after my last posting: for major version bumbs I'd recommend a clean flash without restoring data, because otherwise you'll need to check for each and every hickup if it's a s8de effect from a dirty migration.

Others swear on issue free dirty migration.

It's up to your decission.

I was actually willing to go the other way around: from v15.1 to v16.

The offical blog entry says that if I am coming from a vanilla v15.1 nightly to a vanilla v16 nightly I should not need any wipe but just a so-called dirty flashing.
Unluckily it didn't work last time, as I wrote.
Now I know there was a TWRP issue i can overcome with a special TWRP image.
Anything else?

dianlujitao's recommendation:

Installation:
First time flashing LineageOS 16.0 on your device, or coming from another ROM?
1. Download the zip(s)
2. Install a compatible Recovery (My unofficial TWRP is highly recommended: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397907195)
3. Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)
4. Wipe data/factory reset
5. Flash LineageOS
6. Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package
7. Reboot

I knew that. It's almost a clean install once you wipe data and do a factory reset.
Which is what I would like to avoid.
Thanks anyway

yes, only user apps. they are removed from fs.

all apps are protected by the privacy guard and i cant disable that for any app.

I think when the dark theme (and dark mode = black) is selected, there is no difference for the trust icon.

- Backup your personnal data and your app (e.g. Migrate - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-migrate-custom-rom-migration-tool-t3862763)
- Perform a clean installation and re-install your app and data
==> It is not time-consuming ... between 15 and 30 min max.

Belive it or not: we have understood that you don't want to do a clean flash - repeating that doesn't change our recommendation.

In the end a clean flash saves time over a dirty flash: if you sum up just the time you, @Eric_Lev and me are spending on this, would be enough to setup about 5 apps... I'm trying to do support for over 5 years now; I guess about 20% of all issues relate to incompatible data and or settings. No matter wether you like it or not.

In French, we say "le jeu en vaut la chandelle" ... perhaps in English, "The game is worth the candle" ... perhaps in Italian "Il gioco vale la candela" ?

Thanks to google translator.

I seem to be having issue with camera app. Can't open it, keeps crashing.
I've followed the steps from the lineageos blog for flashing without data wipe. (Upgade firmware to 5.0.8 > reboot > wipe system partition > sideload lineage-16.0-20190306-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip > sideload opengapps 9.0 pico package > sideolad addon su > reboot)
So far everything works except for the camera app, for which I've cleared cache and data and it didn't help. Any ideas?
I'd rather like to avoid wiping everything unless this is the only choice. Is there a way to backup all data/applications and then after clean install restore it there?

I know it's a bit hard to follow this thread with all the unnecessary noise, but a solution for Snap not working has been posted a while back.
Reason: You dirty flashed from 14.1 to 15.1 to 16.
15.1 -> 16 is officially supported, and shouldn't cause any problems. Flashing from 14.1 to 16 isn't supported and is causing issues even if you go through 15.1.
The solution has been posed by aci89 in the Oneplus One Thread (and reposted by here by Kurt Krummbein)
You need to delete the line "<renamed-package new="org.lineageos.snap" old="com.cyanogenmod.snap" />" from "/data/system/packages.xml".
Then reboot to recovery, wipe cache and Snap will be working.

Hm, this should have been fixed in 20190305 build with Snap: Add back original-package in manifest

Yep, thought that, too. That's why it doesn't came to my mind to suggest your solution.

After rethinking:
If one comey from (14.x to) 15.1 to 16.0 0206 the line (which meeds to ne deleted) isn't created in the first place, and snap is working. If one goes from (14.x to) 15.1 to 16.0 0203 the line is created and not deleted again by flashin 0206.

(Just to be the one: only happens for two times dirty flashers - clean flashers would have saved the time dealing with this.)

is it me or is the notication on SMS gone? i only get the icon on top. i see new settin for that in the app, my guess its a new feature in WIP?

SMS Notification is OK.
You can activate notifications (sound and display) in the new features of SMS app.

I'll take a look into it. But I'm pretty sure I came directly from 15.1 clean flash. But maybe my memory is bad about it.
If you have easy solution for keeping data for all the apps I'm all for clean flashing. Don't want to run into more issues though the rest of the phone seems to be working correctly.

And I did search the thread for "camera" keyword, didn't think of searching for "snap".

EDIT: So apparently it worked. Thanks a lot guys!

Flashing issue when downloading latest update from system: reboots to TWRP & just sits there. I have TWRP 3.2.3-10. If I download from net & install from TWRP everything goes fine.
Why isn't install script working?

I've installed the latest build and, for some reason, I can't use Google Assistant. I've installed Aroma GApps with Google app (obviously), and every time I long press at the home button it vibrates but nothing more happen (I have the "launch voice Assistant when long pressing" option enabled). When I say "Ok, Google", voice search is activated, but not the assistant. When I enter at the notifications section on the Google app, it redirects me to the discover section.
I've tried to clean all data on the Google app settings but it doesn't seems to work.

The stock Messaging app uses the default notification sound only (no option to change it as was possible in previous versions). I hope they fix it eventually.

SMS Notification is OK.
You can activate notifications (sound and display) in the new features of SMS app.

This is true for the Google Messages app, but not the stock Messaging app (I'm on 190306).

Make sure to set Google to be your default Assist app. Settings, Apps & Notifications, Default Apps. Had none chosen for me, enabling Google there did the trick.
