Flashed it, with OpenGApps. Works very smooth so far, haven't experienced any trouble. As advertised, some functions are missing (like the on-screen nav... right?), but for a beta this is daily driver material!

Thanks Bruno. Have been following progress in Gerrit, it's insane how many times your name pops up. Just wanted to make sure you know your commitment is highly appreciated!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] thox851441:
A great ROM, so far no major problem. The only thing is annoying is like one guy above said: I can't see the download process, whether it is file from web or apps update. There is no window showing the progress bar in notification, suddenly the app finished downloading and start installing, then the update notification appears.

Aside from that, no problem so far. A little bit refreshing look in notification than older Oreo. Good job, Bruno! :svetius:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] knarQ:
Been using this for three days now and for a first build it's really great. Smooth and stable, and already works fine for daily use (for my use case). Battery life is good, getting about the same as on 15.1, even though 'mobile network standby' still tops the usage list.

However I don't think the IR blaster works? Sure crashes on startup and Anymote can't handle my standard Philips tv.

Thanks to devs for keeping our aging devices fresh!

Edit: My bad, IR is not broken. Mi Remote worked as intended!

Having random crash in few days, using latest October build. I am reverting to last September again.

Has anyone experience it?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] roy.jacobs:
After some experimentation I've found the last September build to be more stable, indeed. Haven't had any random reboots or hangs with it so far.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Wael Abdrabbo:
Thanks Dev, it's amazing ROM and super smooth, and what I found till now it's random reboot at different times and the progress bar of Google play is not showing in the notifications shade.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] maskula:
Thanks for the ROM. I've been using the ROM since it was released. Last two builds have some issues. I faced reboot at the latest build especially when I forced the phone to work hard. But there were random reboots too. And today I faced interesting issue, when I pull down the notifications bar, it was stuck where it was but I was able to continue using the app below. When I screen off it disappeared.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Outsideyourworld:
First startup after latest build and had a random crash after unlocking. Automatically restarted and has been fine so far now.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Nieon.:
Flashed the latest update a few days ago and it was fine at the first two days until it started to freeze randomly (mostly when my battery is below 50%) and the only way to recover from the random freeze was to reboot the phone--in fact, I don't have to do it manually because the phone reboots itself. At certain times, it was fixed with a single reboot. At other times, unfortunately, won't be fixed with one reboot and the freeze and reboots just got worse. To the point where I rolled back to the previous build because the navbar bug is much more bearable than the constant random freeze and reboot bugs.

Also, I noticed the booting time is way longer than normal. Sometimes it even refuse to get into my homescreen and just reboot itself back (the phone wasn't heating up either, so I don't know why it's happening). For now, I'm staying with last month build (0928).
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] fence:
I am also experiencing similar freezes with the current build. (Boot time is normal though)

Btw seriously i don't have to flash gapps each time i diry flash?! I was doing it since cm13 ?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] maskula:
Random freeze and reboot have increased in the last two days. Especially when I open an app or call to someone, firstly it freeze then it reboot itself. Unfortunately it greatly affects phone usage. We're waiting for the new update.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] n1kolaa:

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Outsideyourworld:
I switched back to Miui to see about battery life. I felt like it was noticeably better. So now going back to LOS 15 and seeing if 16 was the issue for me..
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] etoy:
setting selinux back to "permissive" fixed all the freezes and reboots on latest 1010 build

here's the kernel image i'm using right now, just flash it via twrp choosing "boot" partition

didn't work as expected, freezes and reboots are still occurring

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] vinnik:
when I clean flash the latest 1010 build, when do I need to flash your file? After Rom installation but before Gapps or after gapps but before first boot? Or doesnt matter at all?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] etoy:
doesn't matter, as long as it's flashed after the rom
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] vinnik:
can I just switch the boot.img in the flashable rom zip? so I dont flash the wrong boot.img first...
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] roy.jacobs:
It doesn't matter if you flash the wrong boot.img first.

Also, can confirm that it solves the random hangs and reboots!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] PlagueCz:
I also confirm that flashing older boot image solves freezes and reboots. Thanks!

Thank you dudes.

Volume is kinda light though.

happened to me too.

how did you solve it ?

EDIT

Encryption isnt supported.

Format data guys otherwise it will just reboot forever.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] azazello22:
If you guys are so eager for a new build, why don't you do that yourselves?

Come on, never ask for ETA it's like the first rule.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Lookanor:
In accordance with azazello22,

we must understand it is a UNOFFICIAL ROM, in testing period and because of that unestable.

LineageOS are great ROMs. If you want a more stable ROM LineageOS 15 based on Oreo works really fine.

Also we should thank devs for tons of hours in develop working
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Sporqist:
When I get to the encryption screen the phone asks for a pin instead of a pattern. However if I enter the digits corresponding to the positions of the dots of my pattern it works!

Once I get to sim unlock, I have to wait a couple of seconds before doing anything. Otherwise the System will crash and reboot.

Apart from those small bugs it's a pretty usable ROM. Big thanks to the devs!

[MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] hello. I tried to build Lineage OS 16.0 by myself as "day-off project" and i encountered a problem. Build succeed, but after Lineage splash screen - only black screen for a minute and error "SystemUI not responding".

I am using desktop Ubuntu 18.04.1 and followed this tutorial.

I tried blobs from 10.10.2018 build and from TheMuppets same result.

Is Lineage 16 in buildable state right now? Or maybe i`m missing something...

You're realling having a bad experience with this.

Only "random" vibration I feel is after a reboot. Even after unlocking the phone reacts to the fingerprint and "unlocks" again when it recognizes it even though it was already unlocked. After that no more random vibrations.

Had 15.1 on my mi5 so far, tested now with all the 3 LOS 16 versions. When I install GApps togehter with LOS (after wiping system, cache and data) I got stuck on the "checking for updates" screen, after 30 secs network connection drops for a few seconds and it asks me to connect after, then "cheking for updates" again and so on.

If I install only LOS booting and first configuraiton works but I cannot restore the backupped data and apps in the cloud, so I installed GApps afterwards and get stuck with the "setup wizard keeps stopping" info which makes the setup wizard start again and again without starting really.

Any hints how to do that LOS 16 and restoring apps + data will work?

Hi, I tried flashing 20181112 build over 20180928 build. Works until I try to enable encryption. Then it reboots and says it needs approx 6 minutes to encrypt. Then it reboots and goes to recovery. There it shows up password prompt, which is unsuccessful decrypting data.

Rebooting manually a couple times brings up the boot password entry, but it either freezes on "starting android" or reboots during password entry.

Then the only way is to format and restore from backup...
