sorry for these stupid questions

I have installed this version of Lineage on my Mi 8

for the moment everything seems to be fine, except for a couple of problems that have appeared to me

Every now and then, my phone reboots by itself. This becomes annoying when it happens during a call or while I'm recording a voice to send.

beyond that, there is an app (the banking one) that doesn't open to me.

what can I do?

Thanks in advance for the help
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] predragiPredrag:
Regarding restart during phone call, maybe you can try to update your firmware. Even though it may seem stupid, firmware update can solve bunch of strange issues.

For bank app, it sees that your bootloader is unlocked so try to use magisk hide or some custom Kernel that hides bootloader state.

AA fix for OGApps incoming:

Fix gearheadstub by moving it to priv-app (!49) · Merge requests · OpenGApps / all · GitLab

Architecture-independent sources for OpenGApps https://opengapps.org

So it should be working fine again until the weekend. 😉

Last update made a strange change in my phone. Swipe down QS is not easy. I'have to try it for3-4 times. It's very annoying. Please change it back. In the home it works bc I'm using Lawnchair launcher but in apps and setting menu it doesn't.

Everything else works fine even AA*.

* AA: connecteing the phone via usb gives 2-3 error messages but after that the app starts. Needs 30-60s for connection.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] G A S T:
The build from yesterday was pulled from the servers...

Has anybody had problems with it?

My QS are working, swipe down works.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mal13:
I haven´t noticed any problems. swiping all directions works nicely.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Cooper A:
If you change cutout display the problem will be appear - maybe.

Swiping down the QS works when cutout is showed.

But I'm using it as hidden and I can only swipe down QS in the middle area.

The side are also works wen I put my finger exactly the status bar.

But most often I just swipe from the phone top side area and it doesn't work when your finger only crossing the status bar.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] G A S T:
like @mal13 stated before, every swipe place on the screen and all swiping directions work. I was not able to reproduce what you described. 🤷‍♂️
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rauldzmartin:
Yes, perfectly working in my car.

I clean flashed just for deleting Nikgapps and test the new Opengapps. No issues at all. Everything works as intented.

Anybody lose Wifi since the last official build update?

Mobile data works fine and wifi scans for networks and displays them, but iI cant connect to any network and the saved wifi networks option is gone to
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kasperstyre:
I upgraded from 20210624 to 20210805 and i can still connect to wifi and see the Saved networks option.

If you are using magisk you could try temporarily disabling your modules to see if they might be causing the issue.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Irish_Dude:
I just checked and I have magisk on my phone but no modules installed.

Is there anything else I could try to get wifi working again?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kasperstyre:
If you have any other modifications that you might have installed from recovery or similar, you could check if they are compatible with the latest update and uninstall them to check.

Last thing i can think of is maybe your MIUI vendor version is outdated. To update it you would need to download the official firmware package and then flash it, followed by the usual process of installing LineageOS and any addons like Magisk and GApps, since the official firmware also overwrites your system partition.

Before you attempt the last one, i would recommend keeping a backup and if possible find the last official firmware you flashed, in case of compatibility issues.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Schwinni:
With the packages from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/dipper/ you won't overwrite your system partition.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Irish_Dude:
So just flash the firmware via twrp and it should bring wifi back?

Will I lose my data if I do this?

Edit: I just seen there is newer chinese firmware for the Mi 8.

If I fash the chinese firmware, will this add chinese bloatware /language to my phone?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Schwinni:
I don't know if flashing the firmware brings back your WiFi, I just wanted to say that it is not necessary to flash a complete MIUI image in order to get the latest firmware.

If you are not using the latest firmware you should give it a go anyway.

Regarding global/chinise firmware, I always use the global firmware and have no experience with the chinese firmware.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] predragiPredrag:
You will not lose data when you flash firmware and it will not add any bloatware/language. It is in plain terms drivers and commands that tell ROM how to use hardware of a phone. So it may solve wifi/bluetooth and other issues.

To my knowledge there is no speciffic differences between global and chinese version. You can flash latest firmware that coresponds to your phone version and see.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] G A S T:
+ @Irish_Dude :

Well, I just would not go so far to say that there is no specific difference, because if there was none, there would not exist 3 different Versions distilled from the MIUI ROM:

- V12.5.1.0.QEACNXM (= chinese)

- V12.0.2.0.QEAMIXM (= global)

- V12.0.1.0.QEARUXM (= russian)

So it's definately clear, that there must be difference in the full ROM. For the firmware component only, we just don't know it.

Therefore I'd always recommend the firmware, that was specified for your specific device using region. There could be minor difference e. g. with regards to the Modem and the basebands, the Wifi-connection or other "smaller" things you might not recognize easy in the daily use. But since nobody did a code review of the firmwares and compared them, nobody really knows if there is a difference or not. The only thing that can be said from the gained experience of the past is, that you probably won't harm the device when using the chinese firmware elswhere on a global market device. But this is also no guarantee that this will still be the case with future FW-Updates. Imho this risk is very low, but to be honest I must says that it's not zero.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xelayz:
How? I thought 18.1 is now stable enough and now I can't use my GPS. I tried the global and china version.

Edit: Now I flashed all again. TWRP, latest global firmware, LOS and Gapps. Then I downloaded a gps test app and nothing is working. I hope someone can help me. I should not have upgraded to 18.1 if it still has such problems....
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] haxnhaxn:
For me GPS does work. Plesse try the following:

* Backup data.

* Install stock rom (i.e. V12.5.1.0.QEACNXM).

* Does GPS work now? If yes, try lineageos again.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mal13:
For me gps works. Havent got any problems with it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xelayz:
I did this. GPS worked. Then I installed LOS 18.1 again and it was not working again.

I do not know what I am doing wrong. I installed the latest Global firmware and the latest 18.1 build. Then I used osm or a gps checker app to check if I have a gps connection. Sometimes I get a russian sattelite, but this one will disappear very fast. Make no sense...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] G A S T:
Shh! Keep calm and pls don't be so dramatic! It seems that your GPS hardware in the phone is defective or you probably live in bunker. Flashing back and forth is totally useless then. Did you go outside for 5 Minutes and tried GPS there?

Finally I can tell you - your GPS issue is not known here. We cannot help you when you don't find out at first what's the real issue. GPS works on software side without any doubt for all of us. I use it regularly with Android Auto on the head unit of my car since LOS 17.1. Guess if I would have noticed, when there was something wrong with it?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xelayz:
I'm sorry. I was so mad, uff.

No, 18.1 is 100% broke. I got the latest 17.1 build now and all is working fine. GPS and Pokemon Go.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] G A S T:
I see. But the thing is - we don't know what went wrong on your side

A N D

18.1 is 100% not broken. I explaind already to you why. I was one of the first who upgraded from 17.1 to 18.1 via dirty flash in April. I never ever had any trouble with GPS and so do the others. Just read trough all the sites here back to this time. The latest build works fine with regards to GPS. So what do you expect? 🤷‍♂️
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mal13:
I'll answer on my part: latest chinese firmware. Theres topic for it here xda so i used it. I use it in scandinavia, europe. Los version is last weeks 18.1 as i haven't updated to newer yet. I did clean install 3 weeks ago. Wiped all so no dirty flashes or updates from los17 just installed 18.1 via orangefox.

Weird, why are you not getting any Galileo signals? I remember back in 2018/2019 I would regularly get 30-35 satellites, nowadays I only get 20-23 and the gps accuracy has also declined
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ALGOPOP:
That screenshot was indoors. I was to lazy to get off the couch and go outside for a screenshot. I do get galileo signals, and (outddor) accuracy is pretty good for me.

1.

I have a gmail account problem with both gaps package (mindthegaps and opengaps).

After I made a clean install multiple times with the latest version (lineage-18.1-20210812) including data format there are missing data categories which can not be synced only personal data showed.

Contacts, calendar are missing and contact list stays empty.

I already experienced this issue in the previous version with opengaps but mindgaps worked well. Now neither of them works.

2.

And the QS pull down still has the issu when I hide the cutout. I made a video about it.

Qs Problem-1.m4v

drive.google.com

I tried MIUI 2.5 and it works well without this issue, so it is definitely not a firmware or hardvare problem. I tested Evolution rom too and it has the same problem bc it's based on Lineage os (gmail sync works at least). The video is about evolution rom but Lineage is the same.

I put back an older version and it doesn't have this issue.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] haxnhaxn:
1) I use "NikGapps core" and had issues with gmail, calender and dialer. I had to deinstall and reinstall them from playstore. Now I use "NikGapps basic" and this is fine. But it seems I have to reinstall the gapps everytime I update lineageos, at least this is what I do now.

2) I have the same issue, when notch is disabled.

Try gps track recording in the background.

It's also not working but it is something new. I set up every app and services for "not optimized" in battery settings and nothing changed. The app doesn't stops only the gps services.

I found a detailed permission: acces precise location only in the foreground - but this can not be changed...

Please give back the version around 2021.06.14. The unofficial is available but it contains a lot of bugs.

If somebody still has the official pls upload somewhere. This version worked for me, unfortunately I don't have anymore.

Hey friends, I've tried to read through this whole thread, but I think my search terms are too broad/generic. Could someone quickly refresh me what "firmware" is that is being referred to throughout? I get it that by flashing OEM Xiaomi firmware I might flash some software unique to running this phone, before flashing any custom ROMs.

However, in the past, OEM firmware is installed using wonky flashing software (like Flashtool for SONY) and typically rewrites the whole phone, including the recovery partition, thus nullifying my ability to subsequently install any custom ROM. Is that not the case being discussed in this thread?

Thanks in advance!

*Edit: I did just bludgeon my way through and installed the "firmware" for the Xiaomi Mi 8 via TWRP, and then the LineageOS zip via TWRP, and have rebooted and all appears to be in working order.

Followup question: I had begun this process because I had thought the Mi 8 had a better camera than a 12 megapixel in the back. Also, I started using OpenCamera, which allows switching between cameras manually, which I thought neat. However, with this, and the previous (Havoc) installation, it seems like the camera is nerfed, or not reading the hardware correctly? Or, do I remember wrong and the hardware camera on the Mi 8 is only 12 mp in the back?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] infrag:
Also fyi I'd hoped to have anther build up by now but since lineage has changed to 17.1 branches instead of 17.0 my build system is a bit of a mess. Waiting for all the repos to be updated to 17.1 before releasing anything. Hopefully it wont be too long...

Hi, I tried to flash the update but the system does not start, after a long pause on the lineaAge screen the Smartphone restarts in recovery.

Before the flash I only did Wipe Cache and Devilk, did I have to do Wipe System too?

Before the flash I was always on lineage17.

could be a gapps problem of some sort.

You can try the following steps (although you will have to reinstall any gapps program after reboot)

1. wipe system

2. install lineage

3. install gapps

4. reboot

It's very annoying. Lost my vital data since the 8/12 update.

@infrag did you change something ?

Wear OS does not start and so no sync.

Solved. I had to download googel play services from apkmirror and install.

Hello, I have noticed an irritating problem that I still haven't found a solution yet. Since several months my dipper is always with the latest version of lineageos. But when I'm using the facebook messenger app with bubbles and when I receive a message, I open the bubble read the message, the notification in the notification bar is going away, BUT the notification number on the app is still there. So somehow the notification is not fully dismissed, because when I connect my phone with windows app ("Your phone") to the PC it is showing the notifications from messenger but I don't see a notification on the phone itself. If I open the message within the app the notification goes away, and also If I have other notifications in the bar and I hit "clear all" the not showing messenger notifications are also being dismissed....Can someone suggest something about that? Thank you in advance!

Thanks, Haxn! Any ideas if this edition of LineageOS utilizes these hardware features?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] haxnhaxn:
I use the same gcam as crisagatie: BSG 8.1.101_A9_GV1j_ENG.

As far as I know, camera hardware is fully supported. Tele camera is supported, but I never use it. Main camera is too good. OIS (optical image stabilization) does work, must be enabled in settings. However, EIS (electronic image stabilization) used for video recording is not as good as in the MIUI camera. But this is probably software and not hardware. Gcam ftw!

Can I disable or reduce the brightness of the white blinking led light of the phone when I'm under 15% battery? It's too bright compared to MIUI.

I have tried disabling led light notifications, to no avail.

Maybe other people have noticed before, i just can't search within this thread.

Maybe you can try Nikgapps "full". There is google assistent already included. Maybe there are some missing pieces for this feature as well. Since you consider to switch to pixel rom, you probably don't mind the google bloat too much.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] mkz14:
Basic nikgapps works just fine for voice match in other roms, also tried omni just in case. However if Basic worked with other roms... There's no much room to discussion haha

I guess LOS is so "unbloated" that is missing a lot of frameworks to make it work. Hopefully someone can shed a light on this
