Status

Known problems

[CALLS] Can't change loudspeaker volume using buttons
Sometimes the screen blacks out (during call, during install) :
- Workaround : short press or triple-press on power button should wake the screen ; also try different lid/cover/proximity sensor settings

Starting from stock Android MM 6.0.1, using TWRP :

Flash or update LineageOS 20181031 build or newer
Reboot into LineageOS at least once, otherwise WLAN may not work.
