Will that fix it cheffy? Cheers!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
I just installed LOS 15.1 for the first time (latest nightly 13.03.19) and latest OpenGapps micro and Magisk 18.1. Problem is there is no fingerprint lock option anywhere and also swipe fingerprint for notifications gesture is missing.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
What firmware are you on?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
I'm not sure... Does this picture give you an answer? Or where can I find out?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
No, which rom where you on before u flashed Los 15?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
Stock 8.1 October 2018
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
There is the problem,you are on October firmware.

Go to this thread and flash latest firmware, or maybe you have to flash Nov then Dec then Jan then Feb then finally march.

Hope this helps.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
So I should flash Pie firmware?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
I think you should flash November firmware from doing a little search in this thread
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
Very strange, now my phone doesn't boot and just shuts off after the LOS boot animation. :( I flashed only the november firmware.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
Maybe wipe cache/dalvik in recovery and reboot
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
Now it boots to the SIM unlock screen and then turns off. This phone is a god damn mystery. :mad: I'll try dirty flashing the ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
I would clean flash everything again. Rom, twrp installer,reboot recovery, gapps and magisk just to be safe ????
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
I think that is the only option, dirty flashing didn't help. Should I flash the November firmware again also after flashing ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
If it flashed successfully I would just clean flash everything else ????
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
Clean flashed everything and it still turns off at SIM lockscreen. I don't know, guess I'll try to restore my stock Oreo backup :(
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
That sucks, but can I ask why you have not updated to pie?

I'm on Los 16 unofficial and it is pretty much perfect. Flex updates it pretty much every week, it will be official soon so...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
I was on stock Pie, but downgraded back to Oreo because of some annoyances, mainly Pie having far inferior audio quality in headphones. Oreo has a Magisk module that fixes it, but it doesn't work on Pie unfortunately.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
Ainur sauron magisk module works well on pie for me on los 16 but I never plug in headphones only ever Bluetooth. But it solves the low in call volumes and the sound sounds better than stock Oreo. I only originally rooted so I could hear people on the phone after the Oreo update the sound was shocking.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
I know, I use Sauron+V4A+AML, but there were some deeper changes in Android after last year's May update, where they lowered the music volume and bass punch. If you used A1 before May 2018 you should know, there is a module that recovers that sound.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
Yeah the may update ruined the sound of the a1. Do you have a link to the module that recovers the sound?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
Here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MpyWugsy--GwJdqHhKZgOD25lpEnXHXl/view?usp=sharing - But it works only on Oreo.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
So in the end what helped me was going all the way back to Oreo August with MiFlash Tool, then OTA updating to November and then clean flashing LOS. Fingerprint sensor is back now and so far so good. :good: Thanks for your help mate.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arthur King:
What happens if flashed on pie roms? tbh i dont remember the audio of may so i cant tell if there was a difference but now im curious
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Qizami:
I'm using this great ROM with Nougat firmware if I'm correct. Maybe some early Oreo fw, not sure. No problems here. Everything is great. FP is working ofc.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] opxkishan:
Ill try flashing lineage 15.1 directly from the first nougat build since that should be the most stable one
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
Glad you got it sorted ??
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
There was a massive difference in audio before and after may, this will kill all sound on pie.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] opxkishan:
Nougat firmware works well too for los 15.1
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] manpildo:
On stock Pie it muted all notification sounds. But now I tested it on LOS 15.1 as well and unfortunately it breaks ALL sound. :crying: Guess it works only on stock, which means all that work I did yesterday was for nothing, need to go back to stock anyway. :rolleyes: Was fun on Lineage while it lasted :D But I blame Xiamo for ruining a perfectly good phone with retarded updates.

I am thinking of buying Xiaomi Mi A1. How does it look with OFFICIAL Lineage OS support? Will it last for a long time? :)

Any problems? (so far I had Redmi Note 4 - great support).

Thank you for help and greetings! :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheffy11:
Pie firmware will not work with Oreo. You need Nov firmware
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tushamanking:
Will I need to install Oreo Stoke rom before install the lineageOS 15.1 right ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mitux:
Xiaomi Mi A1 is a great phone. Official LineageOS 16 is coming very soon, also this phone is like a Nexus in rom development. There are plenty of roms to choose, even MIUI! Also, Official LineageOS will be very stable, developer builds very stable unofficial builds right now.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Thank you for answer. Mi A1 really looks like a good choice. It is just a shame it is not supported for microg...

How can I know which firmware I have? It says that I should install all the way to the last one. Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Never_Sm1le:
Check your security patch level or build number to find out. If you want to install LOS 15.1, you should be on November security patch, or build number V9.6.8.0.ODHMIFE.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] deimidis:
Thanks, I have Lineage 15.1, but it seems I have to update firmware because now I can't connect to voice network, only 4G. I had Lineage 15.1 from March 13th, and build number: OPM7.181205.001

[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Creater0822:
LOS 15.1 (later than June 2018) and TWRP

Since a certain version of this LOS 15.1 I can no longer get the official TWRP installed, it will say that it cannot find the right block or something along those lines.

Alternatively I've found this other TWRP which does install, but always installs itself on both slots A and B.

Finally I've found something called SHRP Recovery, which also installs itself on both A and B, hence overwriting LOS.

With those three sentences proclaimed I'll cut to the chase:

I am well aware of how to install LOS and TWRP correctly. In fact I've never faced issues installing TWRP with the June 2018 version of LOS 15.1

If you would dare to suggest me "installing Xiaomi Mi A1's stock ROM back", you'd better have a very well-articulated explanation as to why "going back to stock ROM" would yield success to installing the latest LOS 15.1 and TWRP which I cannot get working right now.

As a small hint to point no.2 I have seen something called a "TWRP A/B Retention Script" but never took the time trying it myself. I do suspect that "getting a June 2018 LOS 15.1 (one that worked perfectly with TWRP), then flashing a newer LOS 15.1, then flashing that "retention script", and then doing all of the other stuff" may work. If anybody can confirm this then please do tell me.

Do not dare to tell me that LOS' recovery is fine, it is not. If you scale the LOS recovery's functionality against that of TWRP and a stock Android Recovery, then the LOS recovery converges to the stock Android Recovery in functionality, or in other words: "It's inferior".

To debunk potential fallacious arguments against point no.4: One does not need to be the developer himself in order to have sufficient "common sense" in confessing that the LOS Recovery is inferior to TWRP. For example: One does not need to be an official Android developer from Google to know that the Android stock Recovery is inferior in comparison to TWRP either, hence I've debunked the potential fallacy that would go like "You don't have the right to call LOS' Recovery inferior because you cannot make it yourself."

With those five things being summed up I will conclude this post with the question you already know I'd ask: How do I get both the latest LOS 15.1 and TWRP installed at the same time (as I definitely used to be capable of in the past)?

Edit: I have not ever played with any Android Pie ROM yet, but it seems like TWRP does not exist for this phone yet in Android Pie. That said though: If the truth is that the LOS developers modified their 15.1 into conflicting with TWRP just so they can force users to keep their useless recovery, then please be honest with me and confirm this. If this really turns out being the case though, then I am permanently done with LOS.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Never_Sm1le:
All I can see is that you are being paranoid. You do realize that the official TWRP is old as **** and built based on 8.0 sources right? LOS 15.1 after June is built on 8.1 sources, so incompatibility is to expected.

Another point is that install to both slots seems to bother you, which I cannot understand at all.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Creater0822:
With that I obviously mean that the installation overwrites my system itself. Or in other words: Both "booting to system" and "booting to recovery" are loading TWRP, instead of "booting to system" actually loading LOS.

If there exists an alternative meaning of "installs itself on both slots A and B" in formal Android terminology, then I'll apologize in advance for not knowing that.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

No I do not realize that since I'm not its developer, nor looked into its source code at all. What I do know is that the June 2018 build (as well as a May 2018 build) I had were both Android 8.1. If you were referring to another kind of "8.0" and "8.1" though, then please elaborate?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Never_Sm1le:
From your reply I'm sure that you do not understand the process of installing TWRP in A/B partition at all. TWRP installs itself to the boot image, so when installs, the only thing overwritten here is the ramdisk within the boot image, not the whole OS. Hence, "installing to both slots" means that TWRP is installed to both A and B slots' boot images and never overwrting anything else in the OS. Many other people have installed the CosmicDan one and never complained about boot into system is boot to TWRP instead of LOS, myself included.

For the second question, ypu don't even have to be developers or look into the source code to understand. The latest version of the official recovery is updated in March, and its changelog only mention about 8.0 source code compatibility. LOS 15.1 June and before is built based on the 8.0 kernel source code released by Xiaomi. In June Xiaomi released the 8.1 source code, so 15.1 after the day released is built on the new 8.1 one. The difference is the kernel source code, not the Android version.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] khusika:
This is 2019, time to move on man. Upgrade to LOS 16 ASAP :silly:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Creater0822:
I see, now that explains a bunch of things, so let's sum it up:

I'm obviously fully aware of this. As I later even stated myself: "My Android terminology is likely wrong", but I was far too lazy to describe the phenomenon that I faced through the more detailed sentences that I later wrote. I unfortunately lazily-assumed that people would 1) understand that the process you explained ain't rocket science and 2) immediately recognize and relate the term "installs" very objectively as in "it becomes the subject of the installation".

Offtopic explanations aside: I had only looked into the numeric value below the "Android version" within the "About phone" page in LOS 15.1 to determining which version of Android I had, and it had read "8.1.0" ever since May 2018.

But now that I'm hearing this from you though, since I'm lazy: Could I ask you the favor of referencing to the specific page and/or location within the changelog, so that I'm aware where on that page to look at?

I unfortunately did not catch up that far into the details of each specific release, given how many releases there were. The only things I'd skim (not read) through from the changelog are the titles of the listed changes. The harsh reality is that I'd be better off spending that time to sharpening the blocklists (or rather whitelists) of my (external) Firewall.

Yeah, that's why I'm probably the first to proclaim this issue. That said: If anybody has further idea(s) or solution(s) about the matter then I'd like to hear that.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Never_Sm1le:
OK, so I understand your problem and I think the installation of the newer TWRP conflict with the old kernel sources.

For the change log, it's very hard to find since it's deep down. But you can see a similar case with the development of LOS 16 based on Android 9: initial build used 8.1 kernel sources, but as soon as Xiaomi released the 9.0 kernel source (Dec 21 2018), the build after immediately use it. And the 8.1 kernel source was released in the late of June, if I remembered correctly.

No Pie has serious bugs with bluetooth and wifi and it cannot be downgraded because of ARB which makes it even worse.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
I can tell you that in Pie there are no problems with connectivity on stock nor LOS16. Just use the up-to-date firmware.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] barrack1:
Sounds like you are unaware of the issue. Stock Pie and custom roms relying on stock Pie firmware have wifi connectivity issues especially when bluetooth is on and it gets worse when a bluetooth device is connected. A simple search will show many threads complaining about the issue.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] khusika:
There are no issues like that in the official Lineage OS 16, the only problem is only with VoLTE (which is caused by sucks Xiaomeme). You have to try it before judge it.

Even i prefer with LOS16 because of kernel 4.9 which has better performance and battery stability
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
All I can say is that it works for me. Never had any problems. Ever.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Ahmed Kassem:
Actually the problem is present in lineage os 16 for me and others that I know, When I am playing an online game and only if I turned on bluetooth the ping arises a lot, the problem is less if the location toggle is off.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] barrack1:
Yeah even one the LOS16 thread, there are people complaining about it. Any custom rom using the stock Pie firmware is most likely going to have the same issue.

Maybe the people who haven't seen it yet aren't on wifi or aren't using bluetooth most of the time or are close to the wifi router. Or they always have very good cell reception.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arthur King:
I can tell you this, and i've proved that. The thing with Pie its not much the WiFi and Bluetooth, but the Wifi, Bluetooth and Location. In oreo not much people noticed that because i think most people used the battery saver location, the problem its that on Pie they removed that option and you only have on and off. The slow wifi with bluetooth its still gonna happen without the location because they use the same freq, its just that way, but if you turn off location youll notice that you have a much better wifi, the problem its with "Device Location" or basically using the device GPS, bluetooth and wifi.

Just try what i said, im in oreo right now, i was on pie a few days ago, i can tell that the slow wifi happens on oreo too if you use the device gps.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] barrack1:
I just tried turning on/off the location(high accuracy) and testing the internet speed 5x with each setting with a local server (fibre ping ~7) on stock Oreo (Nov) and it didn't seem to make a difference whether the location was high accuracy or off. There was quite abit of fluctuation with the speeds though and the highest speed was recorded with location on. BT was off all of the time.

Tried testing wifi internet connection speed with location (high accuracy) and BT connected to a device and I haven't found the speeds to differ significantly but like before, there was quite abit of variation. I noticed that jitter might've been higher but I can't be sure until I do more tests.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arthur King:
Yeah, that's common because as I said, its when you use wifi, Location and Bluetooth when you get the lowest wifi speed ever, if you change Location nothing happens, is when you have Bluetooth on and change Location that things starts to happens, I even detailed it why people noticed more on pie.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] barrack1:
The only time I could notice a significant difference in wifi connection speed/jitter was when location high accuracy was on and the GPS in constant operation even in the background using an app like gpstest (google maps or navigation apps in the background will not use the GPS), BT also on and connected to another phone. And the download speed wasn't too different, only the upload was consistently lower by about 25%. Wifi did not disconnect at any time.

But I doubt that its because Pie removed the low accuracy location setting because people are going to notice wifi drops or drastically slower download speeds is while they are indoors and using the browser or a streaming/video app and the GPS location services are not going to be in operation anyway in the background.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arthur King:
I'll just attach this. One is with Bluetooth + GPS on and the other one is Bluetooth + GPS off, I'm in the latest Mokee oreo that was released.

lol I don't know how to attach things from the phone, but what ever, I tried many times what I said and I've proved that, if that doesn't happens to you then awesome, but that's what happens to me and some people that seemed to have the same slow speed problem on pie.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MewtPlays:
