FAQs

1. Flashlight and Chop Chop gesture doesn’t work
A. Just reboot your phone, it should work fine after a reboot.

2. I have some trouble with SIM detection or VoLTE
A. Be sure to flash the N Firmware & modem before flashing this ROM (with full wipe)

3. Opening stock gallery trigger a soft reboot
A. I can’t share photos in some apps like What’s App

  • Remove the directory /sdcard/android/data/com.android.gallery3d and every directory related to gallery
  • Remove the directory /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails
    Reboot Your phone.
  • If it’s not enough, maybe you will have to wipe/format your internal storage

4. I have some issues with video recording
A. Everything should work fine, especially with stock Camera (Snap)
Be sure to be on the N firmware.

5. I can’t access my external SD card in CM File Exmplorer

A. Use another app for now until CM Team fixes it. (Motorola Explorer, Solid Explorer, ES File Explorer should do the trick) BTW, no issue with SD Card formatted and encrypted as Internal Storage.

The current ROM is not completely stable to rely on. However its enough to give a taste of LineageOS, although its the same CM 14.1 ROM. In few days, we’ll update the completely stable nightly build with 0 bugs. Make sure you bookmark this page. If you have any questions, comment below.
