Remove Cyanogen 13.0.20160927 - Install LineageOS 14 - MOTO G3 Android 6.0 - LineageOS Questions & Answers

I have a MOTO G3 with Android 6.0.1 with CyanogenMod ver 13.0.20160927 nightly. I thought the phone also to be rooted but upon running some checks it appears not to be rooted.
I would like the best way and sequence to remove the CyanogenMod; install the LineageOS, root the phone and install Twrp.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

First check: is a custom recovery installed?

first you can flash the latest supersu.zip to root any non rooted rom
second you can follow what LOS developer said about rooting ( flash addonsu-arm-signed.zip ) from the official website

Its already rooted. But you need to "enable" root in Settings>Developer options, just like in CM.
Although I'm confused why the Lineage website says the same; but then also gives instructions on flashing SuperSU (which isn't really necessary)?

i think the root option is totally removed from LOS based rom ( make it optional for users )
and a lot of roms now shipped non rooted some of them came with magisk as root manager with it's features
Hello
This morning, a friend installed this Custom Rom on my HTC One M8.
I just saw that I can not move an application to the micro SD.
Is this a bug in this Custom Rom?
Is there a solution to correct this?
Thank you

This is how is it on the last few version of androids.. I don't remember if it was possible on Lollipop also ? Android 6,7 you cant move apps to sd card. There is other way to do it , "kind of" but its buggy.
Flash the zip then enable in developer options.

Yes all m8 variants ( the regular m8 ) have one build
That's the case with all aosp roms
Sent from my HTC M8 using XDA Labs
Lineages OS 14.1 rooted by SuperSU v_2.82 and after rooted if you want to r-w to SD card then should use file FX app to get permission.
This Lineages rom have update by OTA weekly, it's nice and compare to XDA rom RR 7.1.2 both awesome but RR control battery life longer & charging faster due to settle well heating.
My HTC one M8 used Lineage 14.1 for months just try RR 7 1.2 build 20170612 and 20170622 feel very good and hope it will be weekly updated by OTA as per Lineages

I am using my sd card as adoptable storage so does that make any difference? I'm sorry, but I can't understand what you meant when you wrote "if you want r-w to sd card then should use file fx app to get permission." Do you mean there is an app called "file fx?"

Unable to access root

I'm using asus zenfone 2 ze551ml
it's running latest build 21/9/17 of lineage os 14.1
im unable to get root access
i have checked my system folder in root directory through TWRP
Su file is present but although after allowing apps and ADB to get root access in developer setting
the ui which apparently ask for root access is not popping up
and root checker suggests that your device is not properly rooted at all
This problem came up when is switched rom lineage os 14.1 (nougat 7.1.1)
to lineage os 14.1(nougat 7.1.2)
recently updated su addons dated 25/06/2017 are having such a problem for me
plz update the su addon for X86(or firmware) or atleast give me the reason to stay on this rom
Thanks A Lot

Did you upgrade or do a full wipe?
Some stuff that I read indicated that uninstalling old su before installing the new su build was a good idea. It was released for those that had issue with the old one and not really a upgrade.
I recently did a full wipe on my phone (moto z) and used latest su on 7.1.2 without problems.
I suggest checking out what the local forum thread of your device says. If this is a device and build specific issue I'm sure some other people noticed it too.

I know what are you trying to say
That many device uses same su so check you my phones specific
But tbh what is know is there are only 5 devices running x86 cpu zenfone 2,4,5,6
And only one of them is running lineage os 14.1 other dont support officially so they use 13.0 's addon zip
That means only zenfone 2 can flash 14.1's addon su
And FYI I did wiped first
And xiomi's phine are having same problem with this popup
Finally a solution........ That after long desperate efforts worked for me. You can flash the Magisk 13.0 zip. Mind you an upgraded version will lead you to a loop to your custom recovery. Magisk 13.0 is zenfone 2 x86 architecture compatible. Good luck. Just got this solution last night. Tell me if this helped you and also if you found a better way.

Lineage OS questions before installing

I am looking to install the latest stable Lineage OS, which I believe is 14.1, on my rooted LG G3 D850 running Kitkat.
1) Can I still use and install apps from the play store ?
2) There are a few pre-installed apps from the LG OS that I like, mainly Visual Voicemail and Weather.
Can I somehow use these ?
3) When will Lineage support Android 8 or newer?
4) When a Lineage OS update is available, do I need to go through the complete install process and loose all my data ?
Thanks in advance

Lineage version for Redmi 3s prime (Land)

Hello everyone!
I just flashed a ROM called 'Lineage 16' from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-land-t3830441, but I am not sure this is the correct ROM as the latest version I have found for Redmi 3s prime in the lineage page https://download.lineageos.org/land is 15. Could you please confirm it's ok for my phone?
Moreover, in about phone I see that my Android is 9, while to the best of my knowledge my phone can get up to 6.
Finally, can I root it by flashing magisk (I can see a root option in the phone menu) and how can get I google apps?
Any help, please?

That's the magic of custom ROM. 9 in stead of 6. All the info you need should be in the sources you linked. I recommend to start with official lineageOS.org
Lineage 15 can be rooted with flashing addonsu from download extras. 16 only with magisk.
Thank a lot!

Xposed on Nexus 5 and LineageOS 15?

So i recently re-installed Lineage OS on my old nexus 5 and i was wondering, how can i install Xposed on to it, with framework and app and all that? With the search results online i am not getting really far, i don't quite know what version to install , how to do it etc....
Note: i need Xposed specifically to install multiple custom watchfaces on a huawei watch GT2.
I tried installing a version, but it just reseted my phone, and when i check the Rooted sate of the phone i get "not rooted" or something like that.
I installed LineageOS via TWRP on the phone.
Can you guys help me out here? i did not root or install custom FW on a phone in a loong time and i am out of the loop of recent hacks and stuff.
Thanks in advance

Main point for xposed: what Android version? For xposed I recommend nougat. LinageOS 14.1 is still getting security patches.
