yes, the update works but the updater app has the same issue it had on 6.11 (where it kept asking for the same previous update)

The Google alarm clock (included in Open GApps Pico) does not show a notification anymore (used to show up about 1 hour before alarm) and it does not switch on the screen anymore when the alarm rings.

Anyone else has this problem and/or a solution?

Edit: Fixed the 2nd issue by force stopping and clearing data of the app. Will see, if the 1st issue also is gone in the morning.

Flashed 15.1. and works almost like a charm, Thanks!

One small issue however my password doesnt get recognized. I used to have a password an/or fingerprint setup to unlock. This is now gone. I was trying to reinstate the screen lock and need to enter the password to no avail. "default_password" also doesnt work. Device is not encrypted.

What can I do to keep all my settings and fix this issue?

EDIT:

I just came across this text. Is this legit? I don't want to mess up my device:

"If it's for lockscreen, I think you should be able to zap it by deleting all of the below files below which exist on your phone. (If any file in the list doesn't exist, just skip it.) Try deleting them in TWRP's file manager before flashing LOS 15.1.

/data/system/password.key

/data/system/pattern.key

/data/system/locksettings.db

/data/system/locksettings.db-shm

/data/system/locksettings.db-wal

/data/system/gatekeeper.password.key

I'm new to custom ROMs, so I want to make sure I understand properly. I'm on the newest stock global MIUI ROM with Root and official TWRP. Is the treble compatible TWRP needed?

It is my understanding that the treble compatible TWRP is not needed if I only want to install LOS 15.1, Gapps and supersu / Magisk. I read that the installation script, provided with the LOS 15.1 zip, will automatically wipe the vendor partition, so a treble compatible TWRP is only needed if I want to install a different ROM or revert back to Miui later on. I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on this custom ROM if I need to use an unofficial TWRP. Will LOS 15.1 will install with the official TWRP?

but transfer files not functioning at all and i noticed that when i pair device to pc file transfer service not showing in services available in mobile like another services

any body else experiencing same issue regarding send/ transfer files to/from PC ,, i'm on windows 7 now and offcourse lineage 15 official lateset build

thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] JohnnyMacBeansKApps@gmail:
Thanks for the reply. So, what's the correct order of installation?

1- Install treble compatible twrp

2- install Lineage os 15.1

3- Install Gaaps

4- Install treble compatible Magik?

As mentioned earlier, I'm new to custom ROMs. Are there any additional steps? What's the best way to backup /restore photos and such? Do you have a link to the treble compatible twrp? I would like to find a link to a recovery that has been tested by others.

Thanks!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] k3lcior:
Yes thats correct order homever you have to full wipe before flashing ROM's. And if you are coming from MIUI you also need to Format DATA to remove encryption, it will wipe your internal storage so backup if you have some stuff there.

Just copy your photos etc. to PC, after Formatting Data you can transfer them back to the phone.

Treble TWRP: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890278863836285248

So:

1- Install treble compatible twrp

2- Formata DATA & Wipe System/Vendor/Data/Dalvik

3- install Lineage os 15.1

4- Install Gaaps

5- Install treble compatible Magisk (link in first post)

Just wait for Oreo on MI A1.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dawnfx:
Back to 7.1.1

I hope everyone will accept this criticism with open heart no hard feelings guys, it’s sad to see how XDA community turning out first were the users & now the developers I saw eight Oreo ports for MIDO in last couple of weeks & none of it is up to mark for daily driver.

•	Developers are desperate to port new android version ASAP & then leave it half way.

•	3/3 Oreo ports for MIDO with different flavors from same developer but none is stable.

•	Many ports are buggy we just can make calls & sms & browse (that is possible even with nokia 3310).

•	No new builds for days & weeks.

•	Developers leaving ports half way and heading to other devices ports.

•	All of Oreo ports for MIDO have major bugs leave the goodix aside but network problem, volte problem, performance issues, battery draining.

When someone ask for new build/fixes most of trolls reply “developer have a life too” YES we know they have personal life & much more but if they can’t keep up with updates they should clearly mention “Experimental” in thread title.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] sunny1234590:
So..... How about you go back to miui, which is *STABLE* IN ALL TERMS?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] NE0HP:
If you're looking for all Oreo features at a glance then why not buy a latest Google phone? Or try build your own fully working custom Oreo build!!!!! No harm trying it out any of two above if you think it's easy....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Dadovvv:
At the beginning lot of people flashing some untested Oreo rom, bootloop, no RIL, no Bluetooth etc just to taste Oreo experience. And nobody complain about that.. Now its clear we have pretty stable oreo rom and lot of people complain about 3-4 bugs. People is ungrateful... Best scenario is when devs leave scene just because they dont want listen enymore people who always complain..but best part of it dev do this for free and they can leave anytime..

So be happy to have a great devs here on note 4..

Just look at redmi 4 prime forum (same hardware phone like note 4), there peoples will be happy to have all working nougat like we have here. And they can only a dream for some Oreo experience.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] sharma.keshav153:
Yeah you are right bro
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] IndDoc:
This is completely true. It is possible to be a FREE USER of this site AND give good, honest feedback. This guy isn't being rude at all - dunno why others feel the need to jump to the dev's defence. He's stating something we don't want to believe. All mido ports are sourced off LOS, which has 1 maintainer for mido, and the official maintainer's work is not that frequent. Compare this with the Mi Max or the Redmi Note 3 community - 2 or 3 devs actively trying to fix all problems. The reality is this - we have 1 barely working port without fingerprint support for mido, and 3 clones based off it. An 'experimental' tag would help others decide whether it is worth the trouble or not. I love the devs and they work hard out passion and nothing else. An 'experimental' tag would keep it that way without people flaming the thread with 'VOLTE VIDEO FIX WHEN? U SUX DEV' or 'FIX GOODIX DIS SUXXX' and such posts.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] gauravbhakuni90:
Right now Oreo roms are WIP . If you don't what alpha or betas means then by all means please stay away from those. Devs know about all those bugs and they are trying to solve those. They don't need constant nagging about new builds, new features request. If the bugs are solved you WILL definitely find it in op. And if you think all roms are like same then as suggested by many, you can always go back to miui where you won't have so many roms to choose from. And if you think you can get stable with all features working rom within month or two , then you sir/mam deserves a standing ovation.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dawnfx:
Nothing But Truth :)

Let them mock me :) i am fine with it but i said the truth i appreciate developers their hard work & passion but whoever saying developers get nothing they're doing it all for free is WRONG.

It's not about money but it's about name they are being recognize and famous because of their development and in long term it is going to benefit all recognize developers XDA standard is Be the first Be the best if XDA take some from developers it gives a lot back :).

Oreo was released two & half months ago 8.1 update is around the corner if current bugs will be fixed after 5 or 6 months until then even official Oreo will be out by device manufacturers, then whats the benefit of open source projects?

With this progress we will get stable 8.1 builds when android 9.0 will be releasing please note i am not talking about myself or being greedy that give me Oreo give me stable build (i personally have pixel xl as a primary device & RN4 is secondary device) i am talking about betterment of XDA community i think developers are heading in wrong direction it's good for their experience & being famous but for users :) wink wink :P

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] nirwansingh:
Agreed. I have also seen most of devs don't even reply to your issues or respond to them. And many of them shows attitude. I saw many devs which thinks they are extraordinary and use abusive language in their forums to new user or others which are having issues and ban them. It's a story of almost every devs out there or others who are running community on Google plus or telegram even when they are devs or not. It's not a good thing which devs now days are adopting.

- Uninstall Titanium

- Get a file manager which has root access

- Using the file manager, search for folders in /data which have "titanium" in their name and delete them

- Install Titanium

Clean flashing the ROM will also work because then you also have to delete /data and all the remains of Titanium are gone

Well, if the device is popular and the manufacturer releases all the needed source, and we have devs working as maintainers then we would still be running LOS, AOSP like no difference.
