Those changes were merged on the 11th of June and the enhanced lineageos 17.1 latest update is from the 11th of June as well. This means those changes were probably not merged yet on that version, hence why the GPS works on there. I'm just taking a wild guess here, but my GPS doesn't work on the official rom and it does work on that ROM.

People were also saying that they had no GPS issues with the unofficial rom. Well, the official rom came out the 14th of June so I do see a correlation here.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] FrikyBCN:
I can confirm the GPS problems on the 17.1-20200719-NIGHTLY-gemini build - I noticed it immediately after taking the upgrade but only came here now to see that others are reporting the same problem. Has anyone tried the latest build 17.1-20200726 to see if that has resolved the issue?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xNombre:
Nope, there is no any kind of correlation here...

Enchanted LOS uses completely different device tree both with kernel and vendor blobs.

Almost whole source has been reworked by me, I don't want to take users away from official los releases but I think its worth to try my builds :)

btw. afair the problem behind broken gps on 'stock' LOS is because of unmet dependencies (missing library in os).
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] booci:
[MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] Please don't take these idiots with gps problems seriously. They can't follow some easy guides, they rather complain instead of try. We should all ignore them from now on, and I think what they are doing here can be called spam.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hyppykeppi:
Yeah you must be right and all of us wrong :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] radau:
One question for keppi and all of these people who liked this message - have you tried fastbooting tgz as I wrote above? If you have, no questions asked. If not, there is something wrong with you guys.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] deswink:
Yes I did a few days ago. Although it doesn't matter if you flash the official miui rom or the standalone firmware I wanted to try it nonetheless to flush any possibilities out. Afterwards I followed the exact instructions that were on the lineageos wiki. When doing a GPS test it does see a lot of satellites but it doesn't want to connect to any. After a long time it started connecting to a few satellites but the connection wasn't stable and was easily interrupted by moving (which is my main use case of the GPS).

I truly have no idea why it works for some, and not for others. I'm seriously not making things up, I've been using this rom since cyanogenmod 13 and have always been an happy user. Other than the GPS not fully working I greatly enjoy this rom. I even donated the developer when the official rom version came out because I am so grateful for his hard work, and I'm not blaming him for anything. I'm just pointing out a bug I am experiencing. I'm baffled by the amount of naysayers in this forum whom think that if it works on their device it works on all devices.

This is the last post I'll make regarding this issue since the discussion has become stale. The developer has heard us and will do with it as he pleases.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] hyppykeppi:
I tried it but it didn't help
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Dio133:
Hi. I have performed a clean install, including miflash, and my GPS issues have been fixed. The problem is that now the camera or flashlight does not work for me, the icon does not even appear. Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SaViNGOD:
I do not understand why everyone only talks about gps, if there are many other problems:

1) noticeable heating and hard lags during charging; 2) problems with stuck frequencies in the MIi5 32GB version; 3) sometimes the microphone stops working altogether (except for calls), you have to reboot to solve this problem, 4) also the problem with aggressive unloading of applications from RAM, almost like in MIUI.

And the most interesting thing is that since the first release of the official version of LOS, there has not been a single change for our device, only an updated security patch and that's it.

And I'm not complaining, all of the above problems were described in detail, logs were recorded and personally transferred to the author a long time ago, but there is no sense in this.

I understand that the device is old and we should be grateful to the author for having at least this, but then why do we need further support in its current form?...
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kafakondik:
I have these problems for a long time.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] 10BIT:
I think these gps complaints should be stopped already, you guys are filling these few pages with nothing but rants and arguing about gps. The numbers of reports should be enough to make it worthy of checking, it's up to the dev now, provided that they have the time. Let's just stop it before it turns to angry rants and mockery (which is happened already). You are not forced to use the rom, you are free to go back to previous version that works with you, or even changing roms, there are plenty of options. I know that the official tag on the rom is probably making you think that this rom should have vip support, which is a wrong way of thinking.

Those are Just some friendly reminder, have a good day
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] fence:
Not sure what's going on here, as I previously said a clean flash sorted out my GPS, worked perfectly for over a week.

Then it stopped locking again, I had changed nothing of my configuration, no flashes, updates or anything. Spent the last 2 days trying to get a lock without success. (Rebooted, wiped caches, reloaded agps data)

Today I wiped everything except data and internal storage and flashed exactly the same firmware/lineage/gapps in one shot that was installed before.

Lo and behold my GPS is locking again.

Very strange.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] applechaz:
Yes, I've been having the frequency stuck since in Lineage 16. Some users have highlighted it, and then some users who don't have that problem (probably non-32gb) kept saying there's no such problem.. and so it wasn't fixed.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] NerosTie:
I'm in the same situation :(

I hear a sound coming from the camera, every X seconds, a "clack", I think it's the aperture.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] andy356:
I figured that sound must be the OIS engaging and disengaging, because I only hear it when I'm opening or closing the camera app. If you hear it multiple times it could be a bug with your camera app, or something else entirely.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] NerosTie:
I reflashed the official Xiaomi ROM and everything was fine. Reflashed LOS 17.1-20200726, the issue was back. Then, I flashed LOS 16: no issue. And finally I reflashed LOS 17.1-20200726 and the issue is gone...

Between every flash, I made a full wipe.

I have no idea what is the issue, but I think it should be investigate for people coming from the official Xiaomi ROM.

By the way, to the people with GPS issues, you should really try to flash the official ROM with miflash. If it still doesn't work, it's a hardware issue, no doubt. It was my case because I replaced the front of my phone with parts bought on Aliexpress and the GPS antenna is broken or too bad. After replacing with the original front panel, everything works perfectly.

I can't post links (:rolleyes:) but search on the internet for images of the dismantling of the phone, you will see the image of the GPS antenna and its 2 pins at the top. And these 2 pins must be well connected to the shell of the phone. If not, the signal will be very poor or inexistant. Please check that.

If you want to simplify your life with Miflash, download FWUL, a bootlable Linux distribution designed for Android debugging. It works very well in a VM (VirtualBox).

Is anyone experiencing a microphone problem while recording a video? It doesn't record any voice neither with default camera app or gcam.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] i23098:
I think that happened to me before...

I suffer from slow GPS satellite lock, so I was just trying re-installing the firmware (clear cache, etc) while going through the posts here. Just gave it a retry and it is recording video with now! :) You can try it and see if it helps you.

Downloaded from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/firmware/gemini/ the global stable version V10.2.2.0.OAAMIXM updated on 2019-01-25
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Hakikidaredevil:
I've made the clear installation using that firmware tho.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] i23098:
Forgot to say I'm not using GCam, just the default app... I've just updated to Lineage's last build (9 Ago) and since I never do movies I was giving it a longer test try... It seems it was recording sound for about 10 seconds and then would fail. So, I tried to logcat and, of course, could not reproduce it :(

I did notice some errors on the logs, and the following warning:

08-09 09:35:38.805 527 560 W DeviceHAL: Error from HAL Device in function get_mic_mute: Function not implemented
08-09 09:35:38.806 527 5548 W DeviceHAL: Error from HAL Device in function get_mic_mute: Function not implemented
08-09 09:35:38.806 527 560 W DeviceHAL: Error from HAL Device in function get_mic_mute: Function not implemented

get_mic_mute not implemented :confused: Could it be that somehow the mic is mute (or gets muted because some error) and can't recover because it can't detect its' status?

There were other errors. I attach the logcat around the time I was doing a test video...

Hi all,

I'm on LineageOS 14.1-2017-10. With this OS, Mi5 has been my daily driver for almost three years now. Has been change the battery for three times. Will continue to use this device until it doesn't work anymore, or when the processor cannot cope with today's apps anymore. I have no major complaints, just some minor bugs I can live with. Many thanks to the LineageOS developers. Now because of the Covid-19, I have plenty of time to spent, I feel the desire to upgrade to the current version of LineageOS. Could somebony point me which recent version has the most stability with the least bug possible? -- Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] applechaz:
If you are using 32gb, don't upgrade. There is frequency stuck issue on LOS16. I'm using LOS16.. and for LOS17, some users have posted in this forum they are still experiencing it. It's fine as secondary device, but not as primary phone. It lags sometimes even when making calls.

If you are not using 32gb, you can upgrade to LOS16 which is still available in download list. I'm not sure about LOS17.. as some claimed in recent built there are GPS issues.. so maybe can wait and see if there'll be updates or fix.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Rutherfordio:
I'm using the lineage-17.1-20200809 build and so far it's been pretty good. Battery life has been comparable with what I had on lineage-16, about 5h sot with light use. Only thing for my has been random Wi-Fi disconnects and maybe poor gps, but overall quite happy. Thanks bgcngm for keeping the device updated!

No more privacy guard in 17 :crying:

Other than that, pretty much ok.

I'm on 64gb version, and using 2 sim cards.

For me GPS lock is as slow as it was on 16,

battery is practically the same,

maybe a little bit more aggressive with closing background apps (or maybe 17 just uses a little more ram).

Hello to all. I confirm the bugs previously reported. Hotspot not work, battery icon that does not work in the status bar...The battery drops fast enough during use

I update if something else doesn't work

Digital wellness crash, pixel launcher not work.

On the main settings page I get a persistent notification to add another Gmail account. It does not take off even after placing another account.

Crash if I set the fingerprint as unlocking a banking app.

The settings of the lineage theme do not work
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Shardana:
Is development already stopped?

I absolutely don't want to demand anything, but after 10 days with all these bugs and crashes it's hard to stay with this rom. Strangely after a few days of minimal adjustment (and with a few apps installed), the good thing seems to be the battery, especially in standby (2% in about 7 hours at night). Fluidity is also good in my case. But there are many other problems. I think I'll go back to Pie soon :(

In any case, thanks for the hard work on this fantastic Mi5 :good:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SaViNGOD:
You do not respect the developer who spends time on our old device, except for Mi5 he has other devices, including his personal device, the main one.

Firstly, it is beta, and it works very well for the first release, be patient, you tried 10 android, now go back to the pie, everything works there, everything is fine there. Аs soon as the second release comes out, wait for user reviews, and only then update ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Shardana:
It was not a polemic post and I specified that I do not expect anything. I only reported bugs, and waited for some bugfixes before returning to Pie. Really, I don't want to demand anything :)

digital wellbeing fc (totally not important)..

black in dark theme not work, only default..

ps: not sure who at fault but for me titanium backup not work (was slightly annoyed by manual apps setup and lost statistics in some fitness app :)

pps: forgot.. not sure this intended or not, but smart lock behavior with trusted device much more paranoid and ask for pin much more often than on los16..

I was reading on other ROMs to see if someone complains and they do.

It's suggested that it is caused after taking a phone call (I can try whenever I get one) and that restart helps. I restarted my phone and it did make a video with sound :)

Naturally YMMW, but for me going with the 08-30 nightly

- Initial (first of the day) lock has gone to under 5 seconds from 2+ mins

- satellites in satstat 14/16 from 3/32 (ish, the visible number has gone down about half, but the locked on number increased significantly)

- gettin lock to beidou sats aslo (naver seen that before)

- no longer losing lock under the treeline (walking thru forest)

So I'd say yes, it is better and the change is quite significant.
