Hi, i just followed this method and I sucessfully migrated my cm14.1 to lineageOS14.1 without losing any data bt I have one more question. On cm14.1 the root access has “apps and ADB” option and on lineageOS it only have ADB and now I cant get root access to my apps that needs root permission. Is there any way that I can have root access to apps also in lineage options?
