Since no one reply my question, i want to confirm my step to install this rom . Right now im using pixel experience plus

Step

1. Format system, data and cache

2. Install miui q based firmware from first page

3. Install lineageOs zip package

4. Install gapps - nano

5. Reboot

Can anyone confirm this, I'm just not sure it is correct or anything i miss in the step.

Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] G A S T:
There were answers to your postings.

But I can give you some important hints:

1. Please - don't be that lazy!

Go to all the official webpages and grab your stuff (TWRP/Firmware [from Xiaomifirmwareupdater.com.]/LineageOS/GApps) from there - not from the "first page" or from anywhere else on XDA.

You'll find - by the way - also the instructions and descriptions there. You can read them if you consider them as useful...

2. Before you do anything dumb, make sure to install the latest(!) official(!) TWRP(!) for dipper! I don't know why, but sadly a lot of people struggle with this step...

3. I recommend you to use GApps Pico for and to install other GApps you need just from the store after you succeeded with 4...

4. Now you can begin with your Installation. It's working in no other way than with every else custom ROM. Wipe the whole old shyt via TWRP. Pick the firmware, LineageOS, GApps from the device storage and install them all together. I'd recommend to wipe Cache/Dalvik after installation and before booting the first time.

5. Enjoy.

On LOS18, for some reason my screen won't turn on again after it turns off. The phone seems to be working, that is i can hear sounds, i can launch the camera by double clicking the power button, etc.

My phone has never been repaired, everything is stock including the display.

Here's a short logcat: https://filebin.net/x9nq57hkqnletc2n/los18_20201111.log?t=gjozyqa5
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] gdeliana:
I think this is the double tap to wake bug. Try force restarting the phone by long holding the power button. Next time you are back to the system, immediately go to the double tap to wake setting. Think this is in the display section of the settings. Disable that. If its already disabled, again enable and disable ( yeah i know ) . Now you can safely lock the phone and the screen should turn back on when you unlock.

Hello [MENTION=1187148]infrag[/MENTION],

I had installed 18 before. I wanted to install this second file as well, but instead of TWRP deleted, Recovery came. Media appears instead of Root in Recovery option. I uploaded the new file on Root. I could not select Update from here.

Can I just flash this build over 17.1 or do I have to make a clean flash?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
You could try.

What generally happens is that early builds from a new OS dont upgrade well as things havent been tested properly.

If you want a good upgrade you should probably wait till it get released offically.

Otherwise things will upgrade 'OK' but you may have to delete certain databases yourself in order for things to work.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
Firmware is not 2gb. thats a whole rom.

Hi [MENTION=1187148]infrag[/MENTION].

The LOS17 GSI from AndyYan on Xiaomi.EU android Q Vendor and boot can be made to work with copying audio_policy_configuration.xml from [MENTION=6881528]argraur[/MENTION]'s P4R rom to Vendor>etc>audio_policy_configuration.xml.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] stevedat:
Couldn't remember what it supports, but I might say it is the same on LOS16, not full gesture.

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

From my experience, you might try with Pixel3ROM, Evolution 3.4, Miui 11 EU, MiRoom, LOS 16 are far better and stable.

Don't flash LOS 17 for daily use as it is unofficial.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] txvs:
Hi.

First of all, thank you very much for the great effort.

I've just tested LOS17 on my MI8 and the overall behaviour is quite stable, after reading about known issues as the speaker.

I found an issue with the GPS that I didn't read in the thread: GPS perfectly locate satellites in open areas, but it seems that improved location with Wifi/Phone network is not working correctly, as I cannot find location in Google Maps at home, for example, as I used to do with LOS16. Additionally it seems that apps have some problem obtaining the location, crashing ocasionally (for example, again Google Maps).

Kind regards,

Txvs

Edit: Rolling back to LOS16 didn't work, even wiping... Did you experienced something similar? I think that I'll need to flash back stock MIUI to start again :-s

Maybe you can try to not reboot after you wipe . Just proceed to install firmware, rom and gapps and reboot
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] arifqur:
In order for the lineage to not encrypt, you have to flash Disable DM.Verity zip after flashing rom and before booting. Once it boots, it will encrypt the phone. Also remember all this is being flashed after formatting the internal storage in twrp

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] natheux:
Well thank you for your help.

I think it is because my gcam problem is related to lineageOS. I can't obtain a stable focus when shooting a video on gcam and on the stock camera app :/
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Szynkars:
@natheux Also on stock Lineage's camera app, right? Hm, I don't know how is it on newest Lineage builds, I've got older build from few months ago and don't have any problems with focus. Try that gcams that I shared. Did you have that problem on stock MIUI?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] aittamattia:
I'm not so sure this issue is related to the rom. Try the San1ty version of GCam shared by @Szynkars and you'll see that you can get a stable focus while shooting videos. For example, with latest BSG version of GCam you can't have a stable focus while shooting video -it actually makes the camera to crash and you have to reboot the phone-, the same thing happens for Urnyx's 7.3 version, you just have to install the right GCam. ;)

LOS unofficial (see #1) should work. Official discloses the unlocked boot loader (LOS policy - I hope it will be changed for LOS 18 but don't know) so requires root to hide it. Or a different kernel but if you don't want root you certainly don't want another kernel...
