[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eskuero:
For your information:

LineageOS 16.0 is a distribution of Android 9.0 (Pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

What is different?

The builds provided in this thread are based on the previously mentioned LineageOS, all credit for such work belongs entirely to the LineageOS team.

The differences between this build and the one provided by 33bca are:

1 - Debloated, a lot of the apps bundled by default on LineageOS were disabled on build time. This reduces the .zip file in around 27MB and saves a little more on your userdata partition since no dalvik cache is generated for those apps.

I only left the very few core apps required to be able to use all the hardware on your phone. This is the list of stuff removed stuff:

/system/app/BasicDreams *Screensaver*

/system/app/BookmarkProvider

/system/app/CtsShimPrebuilt *Used for certain software upgrade scenarios*

/system/app/Development *Certain tools for app developers*

/system/app/EasterEgg *The easter egg that corresponds to Pie*

/system/app/Eleven *Music player*

/system/app/Email *Email client (Gmail will still work)*

/system/app/Exchange2 *Used to connect to certain email accounts*

/system/app/Gallery2 *Picture gallery*

/system/app/HTMLViewer

/system/app/Jelly *Web Browser*

/system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker *Used to apply Live Wallpapers*

/system/app/PhotoTable *Screensaver*

/system/app/PicoTts *AOSP text-to-speech service*

/system/app/Stk *Sim Toolkit*

/system/app/Terminal *Terminal emulator*

/system/app/WallpaperBackup

/system/priv-app/AudioFX *Modifies the behavious of the sound*

/system/priv-app/Updater *Notifies you of official LineageOS updates*

/system/priv-app/CtsShimPrivPrebuilt *Used for certain software upgrade scenarios*

/system/priv-app/Recorder *To record audio and video*

/system/priv-app/WeatherProvider

2 - Changed DPI to 432. Our screen has a real density is 432 and working at that settings feels amazing.

3 - Signature spoofing patch. For usage with microG. Read more about it at: https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/wiki

If you expect this ROM to increase the performance because is debloated I feel like you are going to get mostly placebo. The patches applied on this build were stuff I made for myself in order to keep my phone clean of bloat I don't need, and stuff I have preferred third party alternatives to. In general it's meant to get more freedom/control on what is installed in my phone. The result of this was nice so I wanted to share it with anyone willing to try it.

Hopefully I'll be updating the builds once a month after every major security update happens.
