Anybody tried the new update from May 6th? I don't really dare, because last updates messed up Gapps and Magisk (both needed re-flashing). At least 3 users reported that issue.

Chrome and Google Camera crashing

Hello,

the ROM is quite stable but I've encountered a few issues:

- Chromes crashes after a few minutes of use

- Google camera crashes sistematically just after the start
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Raklyon:
Are you talking about the latest release (released on the 5th or 6th of May) ? If not which release ?

Are the problems mentioned earlier in this thread solved ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] vinlos:
I'm talking about the release of yesterday (May 8th) lineage-17.1-20200508-UNOFFICIAL-whyred.zip.

About the issues mentioned before, I don't use neither XDA official app (but I can try) nor the stock gallery app (overriden by gapps) nor the default keyboard (I use Swiftkey, but GBoard was fine). So I cannot say more about those issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] daddyodevil:
Thanks for your reply. I am using 22.04.2020 build. Can you confirm somethings as well for the latest build -

1. Notification LED doesn't light up during charging for me.

2. Fingerprint sensor works a little weirdly on my phone, say in this text box it is working as an 'enter' switch moving cursor down a line, during calls touching it mutes the call, in app drawer (smart launcher) it opens search and then options if touched, etc.

3. If you have earphones or headphones please check this, play pause button works during music playback but volume up down buttons of earphones dont, also during calls single tap on play pause cancels the call whereas in android 9 it muted the and long pressing used to cut the call.

Finally did you do a dirty flash or clean.

Gapps don't work

Hello,

I am new in this forum and also have flashed my phone with this lineage.

I did it for 8 days. Only the little bugs with the fingerprint and the led notification didn't work.

Till the last 2 updates! Now gapps and all relevant apps work no more. Magisk and twrp recovery also crashes.

Pls help!

I flashed clean without problems. Other roms worked fine before
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] gast12:
I had that problem with the 21.04.2020 update as well. You need to go to your recovery (twrp) and flash gapps and Magisk again, wipe cache and reboot. And setup gapps and Magisk again. Worked for me.

Don't do over the air updates at the moment, because they break gapps and Magisk...

[MENTION=8154034]Raghu varma[/MENTION] is there a workaround to make OTA work again? See posts above, lots of problems. Thank you for your support and the great rom!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Cloneseeker0815:
I had the same idea but twrp had a big problem.

It says pattern failed, unable to mount storage and failed to decrypt data.

I cannot work with it :eek:

Good day every one

Well as of now I don't have proper enough time to work with Whyred because my first preference Nokia-SDM660 which I always be busy with Nokia. only rare moments with Whyred because this is my primary handset now

I will work on whyred after somedays especially this COVID19 situation primary handset should not be in risk hope everyone understand my situation thanks !

Forgot to say you people will receive updates regularly based on always latest Lineage OS Source code so no problem with that but bugs will be same but updates never ends because everything is scripted and operated from my Jenkins server Same as like official Lineages OS weekly builds. but here I push my Lineage OS builds from my own server also my Lineage OS builds comes with private keys Same as like official Lineages OS does. I implemented this since from March 2020 so let's say goodbye to public builds because now my builds are completely secured.

Stay safe

Sincerely,

Raghu Varma

No problem with earphones

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Flixnet:
Today I tried your ROM. Looks nice so far, but it seems it has a flaw with DRM.

Netflix isn't working. Gives only an error code. Also the "DRM Info" app doesn't start. So I guess it's some problem with DRM/Widevine/whatever.

(It's not about "Safetynet", I can pass this thanks to Magisk)

So unfortunately I switched back to LOS 16. I really need Netflix! :crying:

Is there a chance you could fix that?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] :
Nice to hear that whyred is your primary handset. Could you tell us what things you would test or depend on from your primary headset.

Like in my case I use it for

- calls

- USB tethering (don't have WiFi setup)

- browsing (Firefox)

Also about your preference on dirty and clean flash.

The reason i am asking is I am still in old build cause of same reason (primary handset). Hope that is not too much to ask and is not sounding arrogant.

Thanks for you time. Stay safe.

Good morning everyone, I would like to highlight a problem I have experienced the last two times I have upgraded OTA on this ROM. the GApps are broken i think - continued error with google play services and, in general, all the google applications. May i please have some help as to what to do? thanks a lot and keep up the great work on this phone and ROM.

Finally, someone stepped foreward!

Once it is official, we will automatically get LineageOS for microG builds, too.

So happy right now :victory:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Raklyon:
Hello,

This issue has been mentioned a few times already. OP is not working a lot on this ROM at the moment so OTA might remain problematic for some days. However, you can try flashing GApps again from recovery, which is the best soultion if it works, and was mentionned a few times as a working solution for previous builds. Otherwise you may want to try a clean flash.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] spammatuamamma:
thank you very much for getting back to me. I will try to flash a new GApps package and avoid to update OTA.

EDIT: it worked like a charm. thanks for the tips and more importantly for the support for this handset.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] emanresu2:
It will just get spammed by people who do not bother to research and ask the same questions over and over again.

This will eventually lead to the maintainer becoming annoyed and abandoning the thread.

It happened many times before.

Please remember that these are development threads and not Q&A threads.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] laska.levin:
So no thread. How do the developers/maintainers get any feedback?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Utkarsh Tiwari:
[MENTION=8570850]emanresu2[/MENTION] I was asking for a dedicated thread so that people just don't keep discussing on other threads. See post no. 284 for example.

It will rather prevent spamming on other threads, and we'll have a proper place for discussion, feedback, reporting, etc.

And for the research thing, what should we research if there isn't an existing thread.

Rightly said!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] brij_singh:
Every thing is perfect except below. Battery backup is good, Gcam working. Very stock and smooth rom.

Issues I found after 2 days of use.

1) safety net fails haven't check with magisk.(i think this is Linage's policy not to configure any bypass for safetynet)

2) battery chagring takes too much time inspite of showing rapid charging.

I like this rom very much. Battery charging time is the only issue for me rest is ok.

I have Xiaomi Whyred (Redmi Note 5 Pro/AI) & I am on Lineage OS 17.1. While ROM is smooth, I have observed that my phone gets discharged as soon as I plug it in wall charger and start charging.

I have noticed this by switching back to STOCK Xiaomi ROM & found that it charges normally with this ROM.

I want to stay on Lineage OS owing to its simplicity & light weight, but forced to switch to Xiaomi ROM due to this issue.

Any workaround ? As of now, device is not rooted, any Magisk Module to fix this is also welcome.

Thanks in anticipation.

Very pleased to hear this :D

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants to do this. I have trust issues with downloading random roms off xda-dev and feel much more comfortable about using builds produced by the LineageOS build system.

I don't install gapps on my phone and get all my software from F-Droid where I can enjoy reproducible builds.

I am also looking at upgrading my own private infrastructure (server) so I can run a VM on it and do my own builds independently. When I get that going I should be able to help out with fixing bugs and devel.

I am only interested in contributing time if development is kept in official channels.

I also don't like things like Telegram as it is centralized, proprietary and requires a phone number. I don't have time for everybody's "favorite new messenger." The only exception I make is for Matrix as at least they make some attempt to bridge the gap. They bridge to Freenode where the official #lineageos channel is, amongst other IRC networks.
