This is a temporary hack to get SafetyNet passing since many rely on it. So it is intended. Stock MiUI fingerprints are not passing at the time I made the build. Hence the hack.

I will go back to MiUI fingerprint once it passes SafetyNet.

Try using this recovery https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117884758

And yes, you can still use Magisk. Most of my users use Magisk and not addon-su.

I have not tried any custom kernels. So I can't really say. The stock kernel with the ROM is a minimal kernel.

Can be a ROM side bug. Have to check.

We use different trees to build the ROMs. So there will be some differences. And yes, this build has the dark mode provided by Lineage

Hi, anybody having a GPS lock issue?

I got this issue since I flashed LOS 16.

On LOS 15 everything was fine.

Tried reloading agps, nothing changed.

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

Is it related to the device radio or firmware?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Subhrajyoti Sen:
Do you mean it keeps disconnecting?

I haven't gotten the time to look at that yet. Have been on vacation

It should not be related. Anyway, I will cross-check in my next test build
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Skyfire1:
So my problem is : at work with less than perfect connection wifi often disconnects and only reconnects sometimes automatically. Manual reconnecting helps for short period of time. This is 2.4 G router. At home wifi sometimes refuses to reconnect even when connecting manually in settings. This is 2.4 G as well. Restart helps. My neighbor has dualband router and my phone will always connect to his 5.0 G without any problems. Always with perfect speed.

I haven't released a build this week because I waiting for the security patches on Lineage. Will make a build today and check. The audio fix will come along with it.

I will look into the 4g and WiFi issue reported sometime during the weekend and hopefully have a build for that next week.

Also, thanks to everyone who has donated. Really appreciate the support :)

Will help Subhrajyoti Sen a bit. Especially because my suggestion probably caused this problem.

Or flash this

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] zBear:
our wifi channel bonding settings are in the WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file

but we have two of them

one in ROOT/VENDOR/ETC/WIFI and the other in ROOT/VENDOR/FIRMWARE/WLAN/QCA_CLD

which file has priority? which one should I change to get the result?

still trying to understand wifi bug with gChannelBondingMode24GHz set to 1

in the patch by Bonoboo only file in VENDOR/ETC/WIFI is changed, but I was always changing file in VENDOR/FIRMWARE/WLAN/QCA_CLD

may be this is the clue?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Bonoboo:
Second - just symlink to file in /vendor/etc/wifi

[MENTION=6623671]Subhrajyoti Sen[/MENTION]

Thanks for build!

Please, change mixer_paths.xml this way:

<path name="handset-stereo-dmic-ef">
<path name="asr-mic" />
</path>

This will again fix swapped stereo channels in video.

And I hope some day Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz 40 Mhz will be enabled by default without disconnects at some users.

Hi there.

I come from an unofficial 15.1 Linage and I just migrate on this ROM (clean install).

Thank you very much for your precious work :)

I used everything you recommended :

- 10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM firmware

- TWRP 3.3.1.1

- 20191013 ROM

But still, when flashing the last version of OpenGapps, I had a bootloop. I had to flash an older one (open_gapps-arm64-9.0-pico-20190601.zip) to make this ROM work.

If anyone has the same issue, now you know how to do. Otherwise this ROM works very well.

How to unroot? It was not unrooted in first place.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Skyfire1:
Run a rootchecker from Playstore. If rooted , look for apps that could be responsible for it. Eg. Magisk, Superuser... And uninstall them. If not rooted, I don't know either...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] mang0sings:
Thank you. I did that and result is:

Not rooted

Safetynet passed

Device is certified

No root programs found

SELinux is enforced

On another bootloader unlocked Moto G2, it works fine.

Maybe I will try to revert to earlier version of Lineage and check.

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

I reverted to 29/09/19 ROM and there too, I got the message that the device is rooted.

However, before the app could display the message, I touched on the app display. It did not display the message and allowed the use of the app. It was working.

Now, I reinstalled the latest 13/10/19 ROM and same behaviour occurred, but if the app display is pressed before the message is shown, the app works fine.

Therefore, I conclude the app has a bug and this ROM works flawlessly. Thank you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Bonoboo:
Originally posted this in LOS 15.1 by sgspluss thread, but same bug on this ROM.

Noticed that too, but need to clarify.

Seems there's no problem in whole sensor reliability: it works as intended, activates after 5 cm.

So no necessary to "calibrate" it though MIUI's testing menu. Also this information stored in /persist partition.

Restoring persist from user who claims no problem not helps (source)

Digged 4PDA thread, there's examples of ROM's where no problem. So seems it's fixable?

As I tested, main problem that sensor starts monitoring with 2-3 seconds delay after making / answering call.

So screen on and sensitive to touches when already near head.

Please, can someone test this too? To know, is this wide issue. And if so, use workaround below.

Important note: if cover sensor and answer call screen turns off immediately.

First time I thought it's default behavior for LOS, but on other phone all ok.

Someone wrote, that enabling auto-brightness fixes this, but no, same behavior.

Only helped app ProximityServiceMonitor (source), attached.

Install it, launch, press "Start", white-list it from battery optimizations and completely disable notifications = done, bug fixed.

Attached logcat: incoming call, answer, sensor delay, call ended.

Seems nothing strange. Only happens "Dialer: ProximitySensor.turnOnProximitySensor - wake lock already acquired".
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] zBear:
can confirm this sensor issue

had the same problem from the day one on this ROM, but because I was familiar with it from 15.1, I installed ProximityServiceMonitor on this ROM immediately and forgot about it till now :))

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] zBear:
I need an advice

not exactly about this ROM, but because I'm using it, wanted to get our opinion, may be it's ROM-related

for work I'm forced to use Slack, Skype and Outlook on my phone

but I don't need any of them to run in background all the time and send me notification, only when I open any of it manually

I blocked every activity about these apps in Privacy Guard, forbid background processes and startup with system, battery optimization is activated and I stop the process by myself (App Info - Force stop), but still somehow these apps became active and start to send me notifications

can you recommend your workaround for similar situations (if you had it)?

or may be anyone has/knows a solution to this behavior?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] nikosgti:
You need to disable Broadcast Receivers, which these apps have registered with cloud notifications etc.

For this, Root needed and unfortunately as far as i know a paid app (Franco's Servicely works, Autostarts not working on android 9).

For example, with Servicely app you have to go to Receivers, write slack on search and disable each one.

(edit: there is also a XDA version of Servicely app, check that first if Receivers functionality is enabled)

This LineageOS rom is solid rock, thanks to developer
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Bonoboo:
Normally force stop should be enough. But app can be "waked up" by another via content providers mechanism.

Try advice above. Imho best free app to manage services, receivers, activities and providers is MyAndroidTools: APK on site

Highly recommend to everyone, helpful to "trim down" activity of bloated apps.

ROM definitely not related to your problem. Sorry for offtopic.
