Hi guys, I'm going to flash this ROM and I would ask you some questions:

1) is notch able to show notification's icon or is all "hidden" like in MIUI ROM?

2) has anyone AnTuTu and AnTuTu 3D score with this lineage ROM?

3) is face unlock working in a complete dark room?

Thank you very much! Sorry for my English and enjoy your Christmas' holiday ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rodries:
Which gapps are you using?

I'm using opengapps micro and I have voice search only but not assistant. When I add the build.prop line assistant is enabled.

I think in LOS the default camera is Snap, and it won't change I think. LOS is quite strong regarding modification of their work. you need to modified by yourself

1. depend on what default icon shown in your status bar. usually one or two apps notification can be shown on the notch

2. why you need this? AnTuTu score is not important.

3. yes face unlock is work on dark room as it's used IR Camera
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] riyosakura:
Im using opengapps nano.

Yeah i know los will not change snap. But maybe they will add more feature for the snap cam. iirc, los stock cam on moto x is much better than mi8 los snap cam.

[MENTION=1187148]infrag[/MENTION] will it work if im using 8.12.20 formware instead of provided firmware on the OP? I'm from miui eu, will flashing the ROM without flashing firmware work??
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rizahakam:
maybe they will improve Snap Camera, but usually LOS won't change the default camera to other apps.

regarding you flash from xiaomi.eu latest, it should be work
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] riyosakura:
Okay thank you sir.

Btw, is this will be going official soon? Since there are already some official Aosp base Custom ROM atm.

I bet, LOS has more prerequisites for its Rom to become official. [emoji3]
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rizahakam:
I think to get official, the LOS team need to launch first official LOS 16, after that each developer can propose their build to get official status.

previously IIRC, LOS launched official LOS 15 on March, so I think for LOS 16 it will get official around that month.

other AOSP already launched their new version, that's why it already become official for PE, Syberia and Havoc

I installed los16 flashing provided firmware&co and all works well. Never had problem with brightness slider.

Is there and option to completely hide bottom virtual bar? I want to use gestures to navigate. Thank you and awesome work! ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rizahakam:
use Fluid Navigation Gesture from Play Store. you can grant special permission by ADB from PC or by root. after that you can hide the nav bar
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ober_:
I am using it but it has a glitch when unlocking: you can see the bottom bar for a second and then it disappears ( I installed Nova Launcher Prime). I was looking for a cleaner option, should be quite easy to hide it "system wise" with a lineageos option. :D

BTW I thank you for your suggestion! If someone has a workaround I Will appreciate it. So far no bugs spotted!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] riyosakura:
Infrag is it safe to encrypt the phone with lineageos feature?

I dont know, i've already format data when flashing LOS. But no encryption.

I tried to flash aroma opengapps and it didnt work. So i flash another twrp to try if there is something wrong with your twrp. But it still didnt work, so i switch back to your twrp, but i didnt format data anymore and flash LOS. but after installing everything, i realized that my phone is not encrypted.

So, is it safe to encrypt via LOS feature?

Do you know anything about the encryption feature?

The moment I flash firmware and vendor 8.12.20 my phone stops booting.

Can anyone confirm he's running this and that it's ok?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] riyosakura:
Im coming from miui.eu 8.12.20, it should use 8.12.20 firmware as base right?

It booting and no problem with the latest LOS.

Encryption is not working though. Maybe i did some mistake?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nfsmw_gr:
I guess that's correct. (?)

I'll probably gonna flash a fastboot rom on my device to completely clean it, if you can't solve your issue start from scratch as well.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rizahakam:
I think until now LOS didn't have gesture navigation except AOSP gesture, so I think it's impossible LOS will implement feature to disable nav bar if gesture navigation isn't present as that one will make people can't navigate his phone.

I'm not aware of the glitch you said, did you use fingerprint to unlock or face unlock?

also did you disable all option in advance that will disable FNG in some case (typing, permission system, etc)?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] berglh:
I'm guessing you're expecting the full device decryption password prior to ROM boot and before going in to Recovery image. The encryption is now implemented at file level, it's definitely encrypted and unencrypts after the ROM has loaded and you enter your password in to access the phone.

This to me doesn't feel very secure, as anyone can boot into the Recovery and access the unencrypted files. [MENTION=1187148]infrag[/MENTION] might be able to shed some light on this change, but it was implemented upstream.

Anyway, point is, that encryption is enabled, but not as you may of previously experienced.

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

[/COLOR [MENTION=1187148]infrag[/MENTION] I've tested lineage-16.0-20181223-UNOFFICIAL-dipper.zip and everything is working nicely so far, it's nice to have infrared smart face unlock working now. I did not fastboot the new recovery image due to reports that this broke the file encryption, and I'm really not looking forward to restoring my environment if this indeed the case.

The one thing I would really love to have, and I realise this is more of a LineageOS design rather than Mi8 ROM issue, would be to have the Smart Face Unlock automatically reveal the launcher just as you get with the fingerprint unlock. It would be also great to implement this with Ambient Display; for instance, consider the following interactions:

1. Trigger Ambient Display ( Wave in front of prox sensor / take phone out of pocket / pick up device )

2. Ambient Display starts Smart Face Unlock

3. Smart Face Unlock detects face and unlocks phone completely to laucher main screen

4. If Smart Face Unlock doesn't pass, Ambient Display ends as per normal

This could be a feature request upstream that already exists, and probably needs integration in multiple areas Android Security / Ambient Display / Smart Unlock to function correctly. Any advice on where I could add a functionality request? As it is now, it's still faster to unlock with the Fingerprint because of the need to wake the display first (with double tap to Ambient) and then swipe again to get to the launcher.

Hi Everyone,

This is just a shout out to make you aware that [MENTION=1187148]infrag[/MENTION] puts in a lot of time into this ROM and valiantly never asks for donations. You might not be aware he has a PayPal Donation as shown on his profile page. If you appreciate all the work he has done for the Lineage 16.0 Mi8 ROM, and you are able, please express your gratitude of his talent and the time he has put into making this ROM buy sending him some money to buy a few beers or cups of coffee. :good::D

That is all.

Okaay.

I dont think my device has been encrypted.

It different from previous build where i need to unlock it with a pattern in boot or in recovery.

I can encrypt the device with LOS feature. But I dont know wheter it is safe or not.

Or the previous way of encryption is not available anymore?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ober_:
Ok I understand. I use fingerprint and face unlock and the glitch appears always, no matter how I unlock the device. What's is FNG? sorry I don't understand:confused:

hmm I'm not using LOS anymore, but from what I remember I didn't have this glitch.

Hey [MENTION=1187148]infrag[/MENTION] i wish you a happy new year :),

I flashed vendor & firm 8.12.20 and latest release 30.12 and the phone reboots to recovery.

Edit1:

Vendor 12.27 worked like a charm. I would suggest removing the link of the 12.20 vendor as its causing boot issues (mentioned in the poco thread too) and instead updating to 12.27.

Edit2:

Although when i booted the device play store showed not certified, another play store + play sevices clear data saved the day. So i guess Mi 8's fingerprint works :)

Very good job infrag :D

but still unable to boot. previously, im using vendor from miui eu 8.12.20, but encryption is broken. the ROM unable to encrypt itself. flashing firmware from OP fix the encryption. maybe firmware from 8.12.27 brake the encryption?? so it wont boot because the data still encrypted?

Boot.

Bugs: Boot screen doesnt work due to DRM issues.

I've tested on my phone with live data and lost nothing.

I take no responsibility for anything that happens to yours if you test this.

This was based off the work done by Vasishath the Beryllium dev. I've used his multirom patches and changes so the credit for that goes to him. I've used his work and made it work on the Android 9.0 omnirom tree although its not finished yet as DRM is still f'd.
