So [MENTION=4467696]AndyYan[/MENTION] I'm trying your OMS build now with China firmware and have installed greenify and brevent. I've also installed coolify and the battery life so far has been good. I don't know if xenon itself might be using more battery. However I do see charging is a little slower than miui. Ampere is only showing 538amps when charging and it gets lower closer to 100℅

Thx a lot ! I'm on Oreo Xiaomi.eu, Just need full wipe or need format data ?

Edit : it's ok for flash, wipe data, system and cache.

But it's not smooth as Miui, it's smooth but for a configuration like this Mix 2, have expect more smoothness.

After all it's not a final build but it's à great job ! I'll try to use it until the end of today
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] overcustom:
How's the smoothness compared to MIUI developer ROM?

I'm on Miui 8.2.1 based on Android Oreo.

Before flashing last Andy's Lineage, do I need to flash any firmware? In that case, 9.2.3.0 global stable firmware is ok?

Hi, guys! Please explain what "OMS" and "non-OMS" mean? What is the difference?

OMS = Overlay manager service. It's something required for a theme engine called substratum. The OMS ROM has OMS built in and can use substratum, the other cannot.

Smooth here too. Running latest AndyYan's OMS build and everything works perfectly : No lags, no bugs, no crashes. No video audio bugs or slow videos, no frenzy flashing led. Everything run lightspeed on my side and battery life is decent.

I really think that most of bugs are related to the firmware ver. and / or flashing process.

Instead of completely flashing back MIUI you can just flash the nougat firmware in TWRP. At the time I came from global dev, but as that is on Oreo now I would just pick the latest firmware from global stable rom.

This sounds amazing. I am on Miui 9 global beta and it's ok but I would love to try LineageOS and this might just make me do it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AndyYan:
Great to hear.

With a finalized LOS tree we can also roll out MoKee, RR, SudaMod, DU, etc. with very minimal modifications - I might still do/release some of those builds for a while until their official builds rebase their code.

OMS is also a factor, as LOS14.1 isn't gonna support it anytime soon, so I could still put out OMS builds.

But as some of you already know, john, Arasthel and co. are making great progress on Oreo already, and LOS15.1 could be here before I can make a build off the official tree, which means I can finally withdraw from this for a while :) Let's just be patient and hope for the best.

Because I (and presumably a lot of other people) prefer stable builds. All 8.X builds currently out are based on developer releases, and 7.1 is based off stable releases.

While I am also excited for LOS 15.1 (for which kernel optimizations are constantly being made), I will only install it when the stable MIUI releases start coming in (and the respective source, of course).

It's just personal preference is what it comes down to.

Because it's not even released (let alone all the bugs)?

It's already disrespectful to the dev when a certain member leaked the internal test build out - Arasthel was forced to come out and explain. IMO we're supposed to stop digging around and just wait for a formal release - if he uploaded to AFH but still doesn't make it public via an XDA thread, you know there's somewhat critical bugs going on and that he needs more time.

February security patch and everything else from LOS upstream, OMS still in, no device-specific changes (since john was working hard on Oreo). Non-OMS builds have been dropped as I felt they're kinda pointless.

Probably the last build from me before official LOS14.1 drops, though I'll still put out OMS-enabled builds after that if possible.

First because this thread is dedicated to LOS. RR has a dedicated one. So please do not cross builds sharing since it makes it confusing.

Second, official LOS release is a huge step for future development, don't miss that.

Third, using one rom or another is a question of taste and preference. Don't not neglect awaiting of some people.

Even If I understand that there's excitement about new upcoming builds, it would be great to stick on the subject and keep threads clear. Thx

Hi guys.

Does LineageOS has gestures like Miui 9? Slide from the left or right edge to go back or from the buttom to go home?

This is really one thing that keeps me from going to any other rom.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] drvalianto:
A lot of gesture apps on the Play Store can do that function.

For me, that feature is not really an attraction, especially the swipe up to go home. I had to swipe several times and still can't manage; and it's just annoying. It always misunderstands that I was swiping through the page, rather than doing the "go home" function.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gaabrysz:

stable lineageOS (Feb 2018)

there are two version of unofficial LineageOS 14.1:

1. cenkey

2. andy yan

I tried both. *Cenkey's version doesn't even boot.

Andy Yan's copy is working. I start out with January 17th version. The audio had serious problem in that version (strangely, phone works, but things like youtube and other games doesn't work). When I moved to Feb-15th version, these audio issue simply disappeared.

It is the one I am using right now.

I started out with xiaomi.eu ROM and was pretty happy with it until it start to giving me problems. they refused to let me join the community thus I have no way of asking questions. So, I moved to this unofficial version of LineageOS. I've been using this for a couple days on daily basis and it works pretty well so far.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MrSammyMcG:
Thanks but I know why you had those issues. I'd say you (like me) had firmware for 8.1/8.0 and when you flashed the January build since it was based off of 7.1 there are conflicts/ mismatching firmware/software. Also the February version I believe is based off of 8.1 which is why there are no audio builds formyou when you flashed it but from my understanding it's built off of a leaked version of RR 6.0 which is not yet completely stable (hence why it was leaked and not officially released)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kngharv:
speaking of firmware: where to get them?

and this is where is my confusion.

what do people mean "firmware" in this context? I guess in this forum, OS itself doesn't count as "firmware."

And I struggle to find proper firmware to install.

I randomly ran into firmware like this:

fw_miui_MIMIX2_V9.2.7.0.NDECNEK_5403112e75_7.1.zip

and I*have no idea rather it's based upon Oreo or not.

please shine some light on what do people mean by "firmware?"

also... if there is a fix on mac address being changed everytime I*boot my phone, please let me know. I am using my phone in conjuction with Home Assistant and floating mac address is problematic in all sort of ways.

Thanks in advance

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MrSammyMcG:
More than happy to! In the general context many people use 'firmware' as a synonym for OS and or system software, which is where I get confused also as on here firmware is from my understanding (and in it's correct usage) a very particular kind of software that's extremely low level that includes vendor specific software such as blobs, device drivers, radio drivers that are core to system operation and low level software functioms such as video playback and audio buffering etc.

The issue is Xiaomi regularly edit this firmware and make fairly significant changes to it for better optimisation with MIUI. What this means is that for custom roms on Xiaomi devices you have to be very careful that you have the correspondig firmware for the version of Android you are using.

TLDR: you need firmware that is based on the same version of Android that your rom is (ie if you are using lineage 14.1 which is based on Android 7.1 you need firmware from the version of miui that is built on 7.1/7.0 AKA 'Nougat' also, as the newer versions of MIUI 9 on some devices including the Mix 2 are based on 8.0/8.1 AKA 'Oreo')

To get these someone has made a tool called MIUI Firmware extractor or something similar that automatically pulls the firmware from versions of MIUI when they are posted and allows you to flash them as a ZIP in your recovery of choice. Just make sure when you use the tool that you are downloading a file that has '7.1' in it's filename or worse comes to worse ask someone in the comments for a direct link to it.

This is all from my understanding, but I do hope it helps you.
