There is no Upgrade. You only do a clean install. Therefore follow the official guidelines. Grab the latest TWRP (if you haven't already) and the latest LOS build, lates vendor and OGApps. There is nothing special with regards to the clean installation.

I experience a problem started with 13.05 version: apps that are supposed to be running are put to sleep, losing connection to devices and delaying notifications. I mean whatsapp or Garmin Connect (that is supposed to send me notifications on my watch). All these apps are „not optimized”, meaning they can run in the background indefinitly and have all the permissions needed. In fact, as far as those app are concerned, nothing has changed, only ROM version. Anyone having problems with delayed notifications or phone losing connection to wearables?

hi guys, i'm going to change my very old custom rom (android 9 from 2019...) this months. I want magisk and android auto, do you think it's better to wait this new version of open gaps than try the magisk+NikGapps combo (I read bootloops issue) ?

Have a good day

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Oberfreak:
Sorry, but I don't know about any other solution, and most of the Camera Apps i tried were generating garbage quality images with my phone.

Flashing Magisk is, in my opinion, worth the effort, not only for making pretty images.

If you do it the "new way" via the Magisk app and USB copy installing magisk should be done in like 5 minutes, as you don't even need TWRP or something.

If you are in a bootloop (which should not happen), you could just flash the original boot.img from the Lineage.zip and fall back to your current installation without reseting the whole phone.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Goalach:
I need help. How do you install an update? At LOS17 I was able to download and install it. That no longer works. I have now made everything new. Wipe System and Data. Then LOS18 from 3.6 and Mindgapps installed. Then restored all of my apps. Now I wanted to install today's update. Neither OTA update works nor the installation in recovery. Boot loop. What's wrong with that? Why is it? I've been flashing different systems for years, but there are only problems with LOS18. How do you install an update?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Goalach:

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] oo8tcu:
Just a guess because that happened to me: are you using TWRP? Do you have a replaced screen? TWRP currently can't boot with some of them as the kernel doesn't support the screen. Lineage Recovery works fine in this case.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Irish_Dude:
Hey guys,

Just done a clean flash from LOS 17 to LOS 18 and everything seems to work great.

I just noticed that TWRP has been replaced by LOS recovery.

Is there an easy way to get TWRP back as my recovery?

Thanks guys and thanks to @infrag for all your hard work, much appreciated
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Goalach:
@mattcri @oo8tcu

Thanks for your help.

I think my Mi8 is defective. I have now deleted everything including formatted data. Then TWRP installed (Orangefox was previously installed), latest firmware installed, LOS18 from 3.6 installed, MindtheGapps installed. Then started without any problems. Then I downloaded LOS18 from June 10th and tried to install. I have now carried out this procedure several times. Every time bootloop into recovery. Finally, I have now installed LOS18 from 10.6 directly. Now I'm curious whether the next update will run smoothly.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
Uh yep sure. Sorry didnt think anyone was using unofficial builds. I'll upload one soon. If you prefer I can also upload stock lineage kernel with safetynet fix and you can flash that with latest los builds (till there are kernel changes you care about).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] predragiPredrag:
T

Kernel with safety net fix would be brilliant. I think that people use unoficial builds because of that. My suggestion is you upload one per month latest kernel with safetynet fix?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Goalach:
Sorry, I don't want to spam. I've been using Lineage / Cyanogen for 10 years but I've only had problems for a few days. LOS18 runs without problems on my Samsung Note 4. Everything works fine there. Just not on my Mi8. It started with the update from June 10th. OTA update does not work, Google Pay does not work, PlayStore is not certified, Android Auto does not work. I have tested different recovery, different GApps, even factory settings and completely reinstalled, but now I don't know what to do next. I'm pretty disappointed now, especially because there are no problems with others. Why is that? What am I doing wrong.? It is quite a job and time consuming to restore everything. At the moment I have installed a backup from 5.6. I have no problem with that.

But I would like to use the current version.

How do I get the Playstore certified?

What do I have to do to make Google Pay work?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Moldeb:
Either one appreciated but the unofficial will be easier to update I guess since I can just flash it without having to restore everything (different signatures, right?). And yes confirmed, I'm just after the safetynet w/o need for Magisk... guess it's the same for many others and the LOS official policy is a bit stubborn in my view ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
I've uploaded both.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] G A S T:
Of course you must be doing something wrong. Nobody here has such severe struggle with the official LOS builds. No offense - just a fact.

But we can't help you when you don't exactly describe what you have done and on which point it goes wrong.

It's not that hard to install at first the latest TWRP, then the latest LOS-build together(!) with the latest firmware an the latest OGApps test build (or those from january, but AA won't work with them).

If you do so and you do it properly, nothing can go wrong. Because that's the way how most of us here set up our devices. It's really that easy. 🤷‍♂️

Don't try stupid/magic things... Don't use obscure sources! Wipe everything and start a new attempt with a fresh, clean install...

If that won't help... I don't know...

I've upgrade yesterday from 17.1 official to 18.1 official. Open GApps pico had been installed on 17.1. I upgraded with MindTheGapps. I did a "dirty" upgrade, so no data wipe ;)

Only problem was that wifi and bluetooth didn't start after installing an update from 18.1 to 18.1 but that could be solved by cleaning cache.

How can I put that on the device? Or is it included with LOS?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Schwinni:
No need for a clean install. Just flash the firmware directly before flashing a new LOS version

Since 12.5 is the chinese version, I will wait for the global version.

And no, you don't have to clean install. Just flash it in TWRP. But since it is not really important to have the latest fw immediately I normally do that when I update LOS anyway (I always do it manually in TWRP).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hypern0va:
I can actually reproduce this, contrarily to others who stated it was not a ROM-related issue, but some steps are needed to trigger it (and probably it is not HDR-related)

It's certain apps that, when viewing media content (even non-HDR content), cause the display color profile to get messed up. You can reproduce this by viewing any image on Slide for Reddit (open source Reddit client).

It is also a problem which affected LineageOS some years ago, and now it's back. It did not affect LOS17.1.

In the attached screenshot there are the only log lines seemingly related to this issue, which get written as soon as the app displays an image (and cause the color profile to get immediately messed up)

By the way - the GApps pico build of today has com.google.android.projection.gearhed.stub in it which consumes only 1 MB more disk space. 😉
