Hello.

I want to say thank you to the developers that keep this project active!

Right now i am in the latest havoc and i am wondering if it is good to try the lineage OS.

Does anyone made this change in their phone?

If someone does it i want to tell me his opinion about it. Is it worth it?

Is anything better than the havoc rom?

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] arpharazonn:
-Dont expect so much customization option from LOS. Just simple things such as accent color, dark theme etc.

-Safetynet not passed on default on LOS (you have to flash custom kernel or magisk)

+LOS community is huge. Most rom use LOS as base. Minimal to zero bugs. Havoc OS has many customizations so expect more bugs (its the logic, it cant be true idk)

If you can say that; i dont care safetynet or i will use magisk or custom kernel and i dont care customizations i just want clean android with basic functionality then flash LOS.

For me as personal opinion: havoc os more complicated for me. Im flashing LOS-xiaomi.eu-PE on these days.

Only problem for me is safetynet issue, i dont wanna flash custom kernel or magisk.

Its the android, you should try and choose best option for you! :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Skeltenaer:
The only bug I have found up until now has been the photo's app crashing constantly when using. Been using LOS now for one week.

New unofficial build in OP.

Screen off hotword detection should now work properly again.

This build uses display and audio blobs from Perseus as they will be the base for our common vendor blobs.

This may or may not help for Android Auto users. would be nice if someone who can test provides feedback.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Mimimi8:
Thank you once again.

Though I can't test Auto, I can now confirm that SELinux is in enforcing mode.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
can you test "OK google" hotword detection with screen off ?

(Obviously make sure the settings are turned on first) :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] defex10:
I searched how to tweak LMK but there are just global settings and nothing app relevant.

It seems like Instagram and Tapatalk is now also not able to wake up the screen while snapchat is still working?!

Obviously no! You will end up by application force closed

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] stavrinho:
Thank you for your time. I really appreciate that!

Probably my next rom will be the xiaomi.eu. I want to gain face unlock again and flawlessly miui camera app.

Safetynet net is not my primary issue. Magisk and a custom kernel is a must for me if i choose to install a custom rom :)

Like you say, Havoc is a rom with extra++ features and if you are not willing to spend time find them and testing them, they are only a burden to you.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Mimimi8:
Um, mI seem to be unable to activate Voice Match at all.

I'm checking the option am asked to speak ok Google and hey Google twice and after completing these steps, the Voice match option is still in the off state.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
That can happy after a clean flash and not waiting long enough after completing setup.

I've done numerous clean flashes to test this and I'm sure that latest build works for me at least on a clean flash. I havent tested dirty flashing.

Can you confirm this was a dirty flash?

Any chance you can get a logcat?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Mimimi8:
It indeed was a dirty flash over 20190405. Just wiped cache and dalvik.

And seriously, just for testing Ok Google I won't do a clean one since it's a feature I don't use myself.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
no worries wasnt asking you to clean flash :)

Could you get a logcat though? :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Mimimi8:
Ok, will try that this evening.

Thanks but dont worry about it.

Changes have been merged into official builds.

I've tested it repeatedly and also on official builds.

Coming builds should have hotword working properly.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] arpharazonn:
I think clean flash needed? I tried todays build which included this changes and ok Google not opening Google asistant. Classic voice search
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
Nobody said google assistant would open.

Hotword detection is when your screen is off and you say "ok google" and it turns on.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SPOCK_VULKAN:
Yes ! Confirm it's working on official without clean flash

Did anyone notice/have the problem, that the "LTE+" icon is only visible when the statusbar is pulled down? (maybe caused by the "R" roaming?

Hello

I'm Currently On Version 9.4.26 Of beta builds

Can any one help me to flash this rom on my phone.I had a unsuccessful attempt which cause me to hard brick my phone?My problem is in the vendor.img part. Which as the flashing guide says I need to flash a version of vendor which is lower than my firmware version.thanks a lot❤️

P.s:sorry for my bad english
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Moldeb:
The roaming R belongs to the signal strength icon and seems to fit the same square so should not make it wider. I guess it's the vibration mode that's "too much" on your screen and causes the overflow dot. I have disabled the vibration icon in the status bar settings.

Would be good to change LTE/LTE+ to 4G or something though. Personally I don't really care whether its LTE or LTE+ as I can't change it anyway (other than reduce). And leaves more space for other things.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Valdrio:
I Don't think you need to downgrade vendor, just format and wipe then install los

Just want to let you know that after updating magisk Manager to 7.1.2 and magisk to 19.1 the Payback Pay function is working again. The app doesn't recognize unlocked bootloader anymore. Maybe gpay Works too

TY for new unofficial build, cleaned flashed and working well.

Observations:

Default led brightness is too bright, brought it down to around 25% in settings which seems around stockish and bright enough.

On lock screen, when charging, the battery icon converts to a percentage making an enormous left padding which pushes the coverage icon way left and we lose the WiFi icon.

............

Is pocket mode merged into your unofficial builds?

FP sensor is still active when proximity sensor is covered.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Schwinni:
Tomorrow my 360 h waiting time is over and I can flash LOS.

I have one question though:

On my phone is MIUI 10.2.3.0 (PEAMIXM). Is that version OK for installing official LOS or do I have to flash another vendor.img?

Best regards,

Chris
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Moldeb:
I'd recommend upgrading to the current beta MIUI first (9.*). You can do that prior to unlocking or after, doesn't matter. But you use the MIUI updater and select a version. It will only offer betas after hitting the "0" in "10" a couple of times. Then open the menu to select the beta. Will have the current vendor. Then migrate to LOS.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I accidentally compiled with an older kernel branch which didnt have the settings to disable fingerprint in pocket mode. I'll fix it in the next build. Also there may be a problem with ir camera. I think I've fixed it too for next build.

I noticed the LED brightness problem too. I'll have to see which of the file changes is causing it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Gingernut78:
Can't wait :)

Ty

Do you know if we can use the Lineage's keys migration.sh without problems to switch between unofficial/official builds?

edit: Is there something similar to framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk in Lineage where brightness values are set?.

If yes, where would it be?, I thought it should be in /vendor/overlay but it's not.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ClarkyCat:
Hi Infrag, tried it with Android Auto today (clean flash). Still getting the same issues as with the official builds, I'm afraid: I occasionally lose the icons at the bottom of the AA screen, and the phone screen flickers like crazy when I disconnect from the car.

The "Disable HW overlays" switch stops the flickering on disconnect, but the setting gets unset on reboot.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] riyosakura:
Sometime gps is not working properly need to restart the device to make it work. Any solution?

I saw many changes in lineageoslog regarding device 845. How is the latest build? Is it working properly?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Gingernut78:
Most of the changes you see are related to the kernel.

---------- Post added at 08:41 ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 ----------

I have a feeling that a few fixes/changes in the latest unofficial have been accidentally omitted.

@infrag

Should there not be some framework overlay apk in /vendor/overlay/ that controls certain system configs/features?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xXSantyXx:
I want to have the best camera possible on this rom. What camera should install and how? Just apk, something to flash, magisk modules? And which settings? I can't find anything clear anywhere.

Latest version from the telegram group, or something specific?

I have been using the latest ones for razer phone but i am now using the mi8 versions..
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Gingernut78:
Just from the group. Like you I switch between different mods but not sure who's is the best.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
Are you referring to the notch hide overlay apk?

If so I probably didnt include that no as its not merged in official builds. Therefore I may have missed it.

My unofficial builds are primarily what I'm using to test our built vendor sources with and find any problems we may have with it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Gingernut78:
No.

I'm referring to the rro framework apk that contains screen brightness values, some default system configs, etc.

When I had a Redmi Note 5 it was in the overlay directory.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Moldeb:
Vendor - need to update?

Have been using LOS official since early April (works just great for me!) so am on an end of March vendor. In post #1 I see that MIUI P based vendor/firmware 9.4.18 is now recommended which is newer to what I have. And today's nightly has been updated to include 9.4.26 blobs.

Question re vendor: Am I supposed to update the vendor? Have seen a thread offering extracted vendors in this developer forum. If I need to update, do I just flash the vendor via TWRP or are there knock ons? I know that Magisk would have to be flashed again - but I only use and refer to LOS here.

Thanks much!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
Then whatever is meant to be there should be there. I havent left out anything like that.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Gingernut78:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you've left anything out, I was just curious as to how things are configured because framework__res_rro.apk is not present in any ROM for the Mi8.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] pat__boy:
Hi, first of all.. Thank for the rom! I install the 9.4.26 firmware. Does is need to do something special if i want to downgrade it to the recommended version? Or i can flash 9.4.18 on top of it without any problem ?

Hi, thanks to all people developing this great rom:good:

I have a question. I accidently bought a chinese version of the Mi8. I unlocked the bootloader and TWRP is already installed. Can i flash LineageOS without bricking the phone and everything will work ? And if yes, do i have to flash the chinese or global firmware before ? Thanks in advance ;)

Hello! I might have found a bug (or please tell me what I'm not seeing). When y search "navigation" in settings, it shows "enable on-screen nav bar". But there is no such setting, I can't find it. It is supposed to be in System>Buttons.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rizahakam:
you won't brick your phone due to installing Pixel Experience. the only thing that can brick your phone if you flash MIUI Global rom and lock the bootloader.

yes you need to flash firmware and vendor as required in the OP. you can find zip for firmware and vendor in other thread
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] withoutname09:
So i have to flash the chinese firmware from here

https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

because i have an chinese phone ? Or do i have to flash global version, because LineageOS is something like a global rom ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
chinese/global firmware makes no difference. Just dont re-lock your bootloader and your all good.

Flash twrp (if you havent already)

Flash vendor linked in OP (includes firmware)

flash official lineage build.

wipe data.

reboot

The instructions are on the lineage wiki and should be correct.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Gingernut78:
You can use both, I use the global firmware on my Chinese Mi8.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mal13:
I have chinese mi8 and have xiaomi eu rom in it.

Remember: do not lock bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] withoutname09:
While flashing with TWRP or updating within LineageOS the bootloader should not be locked or am i wrong ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Gingernut78:
Never relock bootloader on Chinese Mi8 unless on stock Chinese Miui.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] withoutname09:
I mean, while updating in TWRP or with LineageOS Updater everything should be okay. This process will not lock the bootloader, am i right ? I think the only way to lock the bootloader is to use MiFlashTool or isnt it ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] trahzebuck:
No, you NEVER relock the device via flashing a custom rom.

But... all of your questions where answered 1000 times on XDA and other places. What about some reading and learning, like it should be on XDA? What about following the guides in OP?

This is a thread for development and contribution. Not for spoon feeding. If you are not willing to learn the basics of Android and flashing - just stay on stock and enjoy your device....

Just my 2 cents...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] withoutname09:
Thanks for your answers :)

While reading all other threads and posts out there you can get a little bit confused. I wanted some clear statements from experts.

Just my 2 cents...

What are you trying to say?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] trahzebuck:
OMG. Isnt' it obvious if you have a look at the discussion?

I gave an young leecher the advice to learn for himself, how to flash, important stuff about Android etc.

And not to ask for spoon feeding and asking question which where answered 1000 times.

This to prevent him from bricking his device like endless people are doing it every day and to keep a developers thread free from spam.

The "D" in XDA stands for "Development", correct?

But now this discussion is transforming itself into spam. So I'm out here... have a good life.

Well, not every time you find good guides on how to so asking is correct.

Though it's true that this thread is well done and easy to understand it's probably the only one I got across on XDA on lots of others thread the only thing I find myself thinking is:"let's try and hope I don't brick the device ".

Just flashed it.

Fingerprint still works but I haven't had issues with it anyway.

But face unlock doesn't work without sunlight, it seems because the infrared light doesn't work. Attached is ta screenshot of smart lock, improve recognition with an overhead light above my head.

Face unlock didn't work the last days before (maybe since 20190429), but since it never was that good, I didn't investigate into the cause.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Moldeb:
Thx - and did you update from an older vendor? If so, is that recommended? As mentioned, I'm still on a March vendor and #1 indicates I need at least 9.4.18. Still official LOS 190507 seems to work ok here so I'm unclear as to whether updating the vendor is needed. Will not update if not required - but want to meet actual requirements ;)
