this error is related to the Yanosik app and from a search on google, the error is caused by xposed framework. It seems that Yanosik conflicts with xposed framework.
what is "Loop sleep time". Is it like screensaver with the clock in the middle of the screen?
Thanks

The "Loop Sleep Time" is the delay (sleep) time after the loop block finished and restarting the execution of that block.
Any chance that you could add Google Play Music to the list of early start apps? TIA

Hello, first congratulations for this app.
Then I will tell you I have activated the automatic start of JetAudio Plus to keep you with the music that had before stopping.
But the funny thing is that sometimes it works and others don't. Why can it be?

Did you checked the option to "Wait for USB" ? If you play music from USB, please make sure you have the Wait For USB checked, if you have an app starting on startup.

Sorry mate, i have no clue why that happens, then
Any chance to have a built-in option to remove (or reset to factory defaults) the startup script? If I deselect all the options, it says "no options selected". However, I want to have no options, I mean, I don't want any autostarting app anymore - that's why I selected none.

Yes, you can choose one app (any app), press BUILD and on the next screen, just delete everything (all text), then press DELIVER. This way, you will have a default install-recovery.sh, without any custom commands in it. I will implement a function to revert the changes in future, but for now, use this.

This is LineageOS built from official sources (cm14.1 and lineage-15.0 branches), featuring two patches that allow for Signature Spoofing and Network Location providers to be used outside of /system. These two conditions allow for easy installation of microG and related-services, along with the modular location provider platform UnifiedNlp.
I also include a few other extras (see ROM Features below), and experiment with things every now and then. Suggestions are welcome!
What is microG and UnifiedNlp? microG is a free re-implementation of Google's proprietary apps and libraries. UnifiedNlp serves as a replacement to Google Location Services and helps your device find its location (more info).
Benefits of microG and UnifiedNlp:
FLOSS
Lightweight
Modular
Can run with relatively-limited permissions
Improved device performance and battery life
Lower data usage
Faster GPS locks and better location accuracy
Significantly more control over privacy
No max-brightness bug (related to Google Location Services; when you wake the screen and it goes max-bright for a short period of time)
ROM Features:
Upstream up-to-date LineageOS builds
Location Providers can be installed outside of /system (intended for UnifiedNlp and allows microG to provide that)
Can toggle Signature Spoofing on or off for applications that can use it (intended for microG and FakeStore)
Native 493 DPI (see compatibility notes below)
Steven Black's Unified Hosts File built-in (gambling and fakenews filters)
Various Tweaks
Latest Nougat Version (recommended):
2017/10/31
Latest Oreo Version (testing):
2017/11/02
Older Versions:

Reporting Problems and Issues
I'm not too knowledgeable in Android development and likely can't help directly with most ROM, kernel, and/or hardware issues
The best advice I can give is to post issues in this thread and hope others can share a solution, and/or report the issue upstream to LineageOS developers/maintainers if applicable
Changelog:
Nougat/cm14.1 (at the bottom of the page)
Oreo/lineage-15.0 (at the bottom of the page)
LineageOS shamu Changelog
Compatibility Notes:
The latest Nougat/cm14.1 version of this ROM passes SafetyNet (last checked: 2017/10/31)
The latest Oreo/lineage-15.0 version does not pass SafetyNet (last checked: 2017/10/29)
LineageOS and the default kernel support F2FS, however, the unofficial TWRP projects that support F2FS for shamu currently don't support F2FS decryption. Unless you know what you're doing, I suggest using a custom kernel with forced-encryption disabled if you want to have Data and Cache partitions with F2FS
493 DPI is used on this ROM. The default DPI for a Nexus 6 is 560. Some apps from Play Store may not show when the DPI is not set to an expected value. Theoretically, apps acquired from F-Droid and Yalp Store (when spoofing a N6) are not affected by this, but reports about this are welcome (a quick fix is wm density 560)
Other Notes:
This ROM should work fine with GApps, but I don't test this kind of set-up. If you choose not to use microG nor go GApp-less, I recommend using Open GApps
This ROM is signed with my key and the build type is userdebug
I use this ROM daily with microG and primarily to play Pokemon GO and Ingress; I should be able to notice any SafetyNet, location, or other issues quickly but all reports are welcome!
The patches and my notes for compiling (below) should be easily adaptable for any device capable of running LineageOS, or any ROM theoretically (change the Motorola manifest for other non-moto devices or remove it and supply your own vendor blobs if applicable)

Core microG + UnifiedNlp Apps Package
This will provide the microG Services Core, Services Framework Proxy, DroidGuard Helper, NominatimNlpBackend, and MozillaNlpBackend APKs for convenience (these can also be downloaded from F-Droid)
These are the core applications needed to get the most out of microG and can be installed either over adb or just manually installed one-by-one on the phone
You will still need to read the instructions below in order to get things working
F-Droid will update packages as needed; no need to worry if the date on this package appears old
Compatible with both Nougat and Oreo builds
2017/10/31
microG Application Descriptions:
microG Services Core: Core services and UnifiedNlp (required)
microG Services Framework Proxy: Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) support
microG DroidGuard Helper: SafetyNet support
UnifiedNlp Application Descriptions:
NominatimNlpBackend: Looks up location based on geo-data (required)
LocalGsmNlpBackend: Notes cellular towers you connect to and refers to a local database (created from online sources) to determine location
LocalWifiNlpBackend: Scans nearby WiFi APs, links them to GPS coordinates, and stores them in a local database to determine location
Apple UnifiedNlp: Scans nearby WiFi APs and uses Apple's database to determine location
MozillaNlpBackend: Scans nearby WiFi APs and uses Mozilla's database to determine location (less work to set-up than LocalGSM and LocalWifi)
microG + UnifiedNlp Instructions:
Install F-Droid
Enable Unstable Updates (F-Droid Settings -> Expert mode -> Unstable updates; it's currently required to install the latest unstable microG Services Core)
Add the microG repository (visit https://microg.org/download.html)
Install the following: microG Services Core, NominatimNlpBackend, location backend(s) of choice, and other microG applications of choice for additional features (see the above list)
Enable Signature Spoofing for microG Services Core (Settings -> Apps -> ⚙ -> App permissions -> Spoof package signature)
Grant all permissions available for microG Services Core and location backend(s) of choice Settings -> Apps -> (application) -> Permissions)
Open microG Settings and enable desired features (if using Google SafetyNet, you must do ⋮ -> Advanced -> Use official server)
Configure UnifiedNlp Settings (check Nominatim from address lookup backends, and check desired location backend(s) under location backends)
Verify Self-Check has confirmation on all checks (UnifiedNlp being registered in system may require a reboot to start working)
Recommended microG + UnifiedNlp Packages:
Install microG Services Core, microG Services Framework Proxy, microG DroidGuard Helper, NominatimNlpBackend, and MozillaNlpBackend
If you want to run location resolution locally, install LocalGsmNlpBackend and LocalWifiNlpBackend instead of MozillaNlpBackend, or alternatively, install all three and keep MozillaNlpBackend disabled until required
App Store Notes:
You'll likely either want Yalp Store and FakeStore, or legitimate Google Play Store
If you're trying to avoid Google services, Yalp Store + FakeStore is what you'll want
Play Store will likely be wanted if you want a higher chance at being able to use paid apps and IAP (no guarantees; untested)
Play Store needs to be installed as a privileged application to work properly, and also assigns itself high permissions
You can also choose to install Play Store and Yalp Store; note that FakeStore should not be installed at the same time as Play Store though
You can also use any other app store(s) instead of Play Store or Yalp Store or even choose to not install a store at all, but any apps you install that check if Play Store exists will need FakeStore installed still
Yalp Store Application Descriptions:
FakeStore: Fakes the existence of Google Play Store for applications that require it
Yalp Store: Allows downloading and updating of apps from Google Play Store, serves as an alternative to official Google Play Store, and if signed-in with your real Google account, allows for paid-apps to be downloaded; apps that do license checks post-install will fail, and IAP isn't possible currently
Yalp Store Instructions:
Open F-Droid
Install FakeStore and Yalp Store
Enable Signature Spoofing for FakeStore (Settings -> Apps -> ⚙ -> App permissions -> Spoof package signature)
Configure Yalp Store (⋮ -> Settings -> Pretend to be a Nexus 6; this is potentially required to avoid this)
Download desired applications
Enable only updating of applications acquired through Yalp Store (optional; sometimes versions differ from Play Store and F-Droid; ⋮ -> Settings -> Change app white list -> (select apps), and also set the Black or white list of apps for update to Only the chosen apps will be checked for updates)
Play Store Application Description:
Phonesky.apk: This is the name of the Play Store apk; allows for traditional Play Store behavior; apps that do post-install license checks and IAP are personally untested (feedback from anyone who tests this would be awesome)
Play Store Instructions:
Download the latest open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico archive (GitHub or the main site) (use 8.0 for Oreo; untested)
Extract it somewhere temporary
Go into the Core folder and find vending-all.tar.lz
Extract its contents
Go into the vending-all/240-320-480/priv-app/Phonesky folder
Take Phonesky.apk and move it somewhere temporary or just note its location
Reboot your device to Recovery
Mount /system on the Android device and use adb push to copy Phonesky.apk from local storage to /system/priv-app/Phonesky.apk
Reboot to System

Thanks for the support.... What are some benefits of
"microG and UnifiedNlp" and/or how is different? I read the link about Floss which is really cool.

I notice GPS locks and accuracy seem to be a bit better; I use the LocalGSM and LocalWifi backends.
I particularly like that microG doesn't require a lot of permissions. Plus since I don't entirely use a lot of Google services, I don't need to have them installed or running in the background either.
I also like the better control over location. With the local backends, my location data doesn't have to be sent off to an online server somewhere. I grab a large database for cell towers from OpenCellID and Mozilla, and that has me covered for the GSM backend. And for Wifi, I just scan for access points as I travel around and build my own database. For first-time visits, I have to rely on the GSM backend first, but for return visits, the Wifi backend should work.
And finally, it's also just kind of neat using this kind of set-up I've tried to go without GApps in the past, but ever since I started playing Pokemon GO and Ingress, I didn't like having to lose those games. Plus there was a few apps I wanted from Play Store too. But now, I can be without GApps, and also have PoGO and Ingress, and even more surprisingly, I pass SafetyNet.
New build available; changes include resync with sources, 493 DPI set (I don't believe this will be a problem outside of Play Store app compatibility; in which case, it can be set back to 560 from the Local Terminal), and the target build changed from userdebug to user.
New build: Resync, previously removed default apps are re-added, and now the ROM includes Steven Black's Unified Hosts File built-in with the gambling, fakenews, and porn filters enabled
Interesting.... I may try this out.
For those who don't know, I provide flashable zips that ease the installation process of microG and/or the Play Store. I'm actually the site linked to on that Reddit post (kinda curious who linked to me).
The microG zips should completely check all boxes in the self-check checklist EXCEPT for the one about setting up the UnifiedNlp backends. The zips come with the Mozilla location backend and the Nominatim geocoder backend, I just haven't figured out how to get them enabled yet.
Those who are stuck using Google to sync contacts/calendar have an add-on zip that can be flashed to be able to sync those. Note that, as of last testing, you may need to go into Settings > Apps and manually enable permissions on one or both sync adapters in order to get it to work.
Finally, @espionage724, if it helps any I also provide a standalone PlayStore zip for people who want to install microG as a user app. It is the patched PlayStore from NanoMod that *should* support (in-)app purchases.

Interesting.... I may try this out.
For those who don't know, I provide flashable zips that ease the installation process of microG and/or the Play Store. I'm actually the site linked to on that Reddit post (kinda curious who linked to me).
The microG zips should completely check all boxes in the self-check checklist EXCEPT for the one about setting up the UnifiedNlp backends. The zips come with the Mozilla location backend and the Nominatim geocoder backend, I just haven't figured out how to get them enabled yet.
Those who are stuck using Google to sync contacts/calendar have an add-on zip that can be flashed to be able to sync those. Note that, as of last testing, you may need to go into Settings > Apps and manually enable permissions on one or both sync adapters in order to get it to work.
Finally, @espionage724, if it helps any I also provide a standalone PlayStore zip for people who want to install microG as a user app. It is the patched PlayStore from NanoMod that *should* support (in-)app purchases.

Thanks; I thought that URL looked like it was missing a bit of text, but it loaded fine for me when I added it at the time.
Fixed the URL in the first post, and it (2017/07/09) can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9CekGWwY1hjMEdhYmJoeGE2TlU/view?usp=sharing

Do I need to use MicroG to pass Safetynet? And do I need to use f2fs?

I believe you'll need either microG (and DroidGuard) or GApps to pass SafetyNet, otherwise, apps can't check for SafetyNet compatibility (Magisk's test throws an error if I try doing the check without either).
As for F2FS; you don't have to use it. By-default, /data and /cache partitions use ext4 which works fine.

Thank you.
I was going to use BeansGApps full to flash gapps.
So, I can just ignore all the MicroG stuff and still pass Safetynet and have a working rom that plays Pokemon go?
I'm not ready to try f2fs yet.

Yep you can ignore the microG stuff, flash a GApps package, and pass SafetyNet, but if this is your only objective, you can also accomplish this on most other ROMs (including official LineageOS).
On the note of Bean GApps though, unless there was an update, the June Full package is broken. You'll have to use either May's Full package, or June's Mini package. I'd probably just recommend a variant of Open GApps depending on what packages you want.
eh this is great thanks, and thanks the people with microG and UnifiedNlp too. I didn't know anything about these. This is great
I trust that this will work fine for Verizon users?

I believe it should be fine for Verizon users (at least as fine as a regular LineageOS build would be anyway), but I haven't tried it.

I believe upgrades will be unaffected by this, but for fresh installs, I forgot to set 493 DPI. If you want this (or any other value; replace 493), you can run the following over adb shell while booted in TWRP (can be at any point after you flash the zip but before rebooting into System):
Code:
mount '/system' && sed -i 's/'ro.sf.lcd_density=560'/'ro.sf.lcd_density=493'/g' '/system/build.prop'
Or you can do it after booting into the ROM via normal means:
Code:
wm density 493
