Tomorrow. I'll upload tonight when Z3 Dual build is done.

Since there's no reason to make a release every 2 or 3 minor changes I have been waiting until a lot of major/minor changes got accumulated.

Wait wait, to flash this ROM i must upgrade my bootloader, loosing forever TA partition (with no chance to recover it with a backup): Really?

Where did you see you can't recover it with backup ?? TA backup and restore is feasible, you can go back to stock, you can also flash a custom kernel with drm patch.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't understand what you state from reading OP...

At topic start "Who can use it
It is only for Z3 and UNLOCKED UPGRADED BOOTLOADERS"

If you follow that link, post say that "Upgrading bootloader is not revertible". After this:
"The TA partition is heavily upgraded so no regress available.
Also ta partitions backup should be consistent with bootloaders versions!"

This clearly mean that if i upgrade my bootloader, i can't, in every way, reset my TA Partition with DRM keys (because i cant come back to a no-upgraded bootloader).
Correct me if i'm wrong (really hope i am).

Your partially right.

Downgrading bootloader should be possible. However I never was able to. (dont mean it is not possible).

The flashing process is this one, almost meaning you never can got to stock + relock again. Am not saying it is impossible, juste as I canot be sure I prefere warn there is a high risk of brick.



Good luck.

I really don't see any point worrying about TA. I used to, too, until I discovered

My bad, I thought that downgrade was easy.
But the DRM like restoration is almost the same in terms of camera drm functions, it will not put back your TA partition ut a generic DRM to have camera features enabled.

That file only restore some functions of DRM keys, don't restore your real DRM keys (i think you will miss some stock features). I used that package to enable stock features again AFTER i reset my real DRM keys and it worked.
A part of that, many users tried to restore theyre functionality with that file but failed (and its not clear how and why).

In the post i previously linked "TA partition is heavily upgraded, so no regress available". That restore package quite surely work trying to restore TA partition, that's why quite surely it will fail for upgraded bootloader (not revertible).

no Updates anymore?

Literally xkeita's last post stated when an update is coming. Please read before posting unnecessary stuff like this in a development thread.

Hi all, just posting an update! (Two updates in fact, you'll find 2017-07-01 in the link below)

Since this is nailyk's thread for LOS it's a bit hard for me to keep every post up to date so I migrated all info into a new thread found here. This does not mean that nailyk won't be working with us, he's still part of the team and we're currently migrating our sources to official LineageOS repos. So expect good things to happen soon.

Migrating sources to official LineageOS repo = Official soon?

Safe for dirty flashing, you probably should clean caches to avoid weird stuff

Migrating sources to official LineageOS repo = Official soon?

Hopefully yes

Updating?

Hello,
Just wanted to let you know I've been using the 14.1-20170517 release for a while now and I'm loving it! Besides the known BT issues, and random restarts** everything is smooth and running well.

I was just wondering, in order to update the ROM to the newest release, will I have to re-flash completely, or can I dirty flash the 2017-06-13 release and save having to back everything up and reinstall all my apps etc? (Nandroid backups never seem to work for me...)

Thanks for the hard work and fantastic ROM! :good:

**The random restarts seem to occur during periods of high ram usage, like when I have several intensive applications open at once. Not too much of a bother, my phone probably should be restarted every now and again anyway I can try to provide a log and more details when I'm home.

Just dirty flash. Having a backup is always a good thing though.

Bye

Time for some news

Maybe some of you know we moved to lineage os repo into the week-end. This had no other meaning, just using another gerrit and/or repo URLs. More informations into @tomascus post.

Ok here is the tricky part...
Am dropping "official" status as LineageOS. It means I wont be an official maintainer anymore (for Lineage).
Obviously it is not about stealing the device you just offered to me, I will still help @xkeita working on the dual version, just we changed a bit the process.

Am working on something else (for shinano) and, with the lot of work the team make here, it should be almost easy.

tl;dr: Am not LineageOS maintainer anymore, only contributor.


Also @xkeita opened his own thread with the recent sources move. So it is time to leave this thread.
Stay nice and relevant.

Many thanks all and see you soon
