Another early adopter here.

I'll state that this first LineageOS release is quite good --

Amazingly for a totally new ROM that I never heard of before last week, it might be as good if not slightly better than the Dec25 Cyanogenmod 14.1 release that had been years in the making that I was running previously.

I think I'll keep it.

Actually LineageOS is forked from CyanogenMod so it's not really anything new, just a different name for now.

Is it possible to enable the root access by Developer Options like CyanogenMod ROM?

For future questions like this, please refer to the Q&A section because first it has already been answered and secondly let us keep this thread mainly for the discussion of the rom development. We know some are new members. But please read thoroughly because every word and detail counts then sometimes in the end you will come looking and posting haaaalp! When it has already been explained in the first place.

Wah... Yes this is true, the lineage...
Thanks to Adrian and thanks to cm and lineage team.

system freeze

Hi,

Just flashed this rom (full clean flash, *NO* google apps), coming from official stock rom (4.3).

Found one case were the system freezes completely (to restart the device you need to push 5sec the OFF button under the cover), here is how to reproduce :

- install and start Firefox for android (in my case it is version 51.0beta7)
- go to youtube.com and play a video
- tap the android multitask button
- in multitask mode, sound starts to stutter, then after some seconds the system freezes completely.

In general, sound is stuttering when playing a video (or maybe only a sound) in the background via the default web browser also.
Otherwise media playing is fine (default music player and video player) when multitasking.

I find it strange that a user app (Firefox mobile in this case) can completely freeze the system!?

I tried to reproduce this issue and I can assure that the sound is shuttering when multitasking, and the video will stop playing completely after a while if it was playing in the background.. But I didn't face any freezing or hanging..
So, I think it can be a Firefox problem as you said you are using the beta version of FF and I am using FF latest release 15.1.0 or you may have other apps running in the background that eating up your ram.
