[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] :
Recovery : OrangeFox Recovery R10.0.2.1

ROM : lineage-17.0-20191203-UNOFFICIAL-laurel_sprout.zip

GApps : BiTGApps-arm64-10.0.0-v0.5_signed.zip

Root : Magisk v20.1

TLDR; Good Stable ROM with a little bug.

Can't hide app in the default launcher. System app like Android System Webview, Google TTS are on the drawer

FOD Speed is OK i guess, same speed as stock.

Max screen brightness on FOD bug.

The only feature that completely broken is Notification LED. Right now I'm relying on AOD. I hope LED will be fixed on next update.

No review on VOLTE. I can't test it.

Thanks for the heads up :highfive: :highfive: I'm a huge fan of LineageOS & I really want to give it a shot. But I was afraid it won't boot.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] suschmania:
Working great! Thanks for bringing Lineage to this device.

Installation was a bit tricky. I tried to follow the instructions from the TWRP / OrangeFox thread with changing slots from a -> b etc... all the time i got a bootlop, directly to fastboot or some other problems.

Since i just installed it directly over the stock system (following the main instructions here) everything went fine. without a hassle.

Good work
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tutankpusch:
tried this and also change slot as was suggested here but both didnt lead to a booting lineage.

Ok, seems i wanna try this.

When i try to get back to pure stock, i go to fastboot and flash_all one of these bois: https://xdaforums.com/mi-a3/how-to/rom-xiaomi-mi-a3-laurelsprout-t3962489

and [MENTION=4321863]suschmania[/MENTION] you suggest to install lineage from there without twrp? how? For me the suggestions in this post require some sort of custom recovery anyways right? can you clarify?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] suschmania:
Sorry for confusion. Of course you need a custom recovery to bring the rom to your device. In short version i did:

Start the phone in fastboot mdoe.

check if "slot a" is active.

"flash_all.bat" from the latest stock rom, i used "laurel_sprout_eea_global_images_V10.3.12.0.PFQEUXM_20191113.0000.00_9.0_eefa5b3bf3" (download from bigota.d.miui.com)

One full boot including minimal setup (skipping wifi, no google login, no fingerprint etc.). I copied the necessary files:

Rom: lineage-17.0-20191203-UNOFFICIAL-laurel_sprout

Recovery: twrp-3.3.1-2-unofficial-installer-laurel_sprout (or orangefox)

GAPPS: open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nano-20191114-BETA

Magisk: Magisk-v20.1

Encryption patch: patch_no_fde10

i restarted the phone into the bootloader (holding - during reboot).

i wrote the twrp as boot (fastboot flash boot your_twrp_name.img). fastboot reboot (and holding the + button to reach recovery).

in recovery i wiped dalvic cache, data, system and vendor.

i installed the Rom. I installed the TWRP recovery (this time the installer package).

reboot into recovery (twrp shows the warning no os installed, continue anyway).

after reboot, the filesystem was decrypted (only numbers and names). -> wipe internal data. After wiping copy the necessary files again to your phone (gapps, magisk, encryption patch).

Flash GAPPS, flash Magisk (your choice, i think it's not a must have) and encryption patch.

Reboot to system

There i had the bootloop problem. So i went back to recovery --> format data (where you have to write yes).

Reboot system --> welcome to Lineage

Maybe the installation process with changing slots is better for updating, but i got really frustrated that i nearly never was able to finish a setup except the MIUI 11 rom where you flash everything in fastboot mode (and no need for custom recovery).

Good luck :good:

Official Lineage Version

Hi IamJoker03

do you plan to migrade to an official lineage version. If so, how long do you think you will support this device. At the moment I have a S4mini, and I really liked the long (since 2013) support from arco68.

Thank you.

Hi chineel,

which camera are you using? At that link location are easily more than 30 different ones.

Is any gcam working without gapps? [MENTION=8030231]IamJoker03[/MENTION] [MENTION=489185]chineel[/MENTION]

/edit:

I found the above mentioned app not to be wirking without gapps: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog860/

but when googling "xiaomi gcam without gapps", i found this gcam fork: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/MGC_3.2.045_FINAL_3.4.apk behind this german board: https://forum.kuketz-blog.de/viewtopic.php?t=1759 working actually on mi a3 without gapps. i cannot comment on the quality of the pics/videos, since i have no clue of this topic.

only stuck at Bootloop, can someone tell me why?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Enigma.:
could someone help me, i'm going mad

been trying (for few hours now) to get this rom running without gaps, but i keep getting stuck in bootloop,

or sometimes it goes into fastboot screen.

not sure if related but i have tried with havoc os a well and i keep getting the same problem.

these are the steps i do:

-enter recovery

-advanced wipe everything except microsd

-install rom

-install twrp

-reboot (system)

now there i get "no os detected" warning.

also one thing to mention, after trying again and again with havoc and lineage randomly trying to change the installation process (try with/without magisk, try wiping data after installing rom, etc..) i somehow managed to boot in havoc os, but i have no idea what i did differently, but regardless i went back and tried to install lineage but with no success.

any help or suggestion would be well appreciated

edit: i even tried with orange fox recovery, same result :(

another edit: i just tried flashing PixelExperience, stuck in a boot loop again, so it seems the problem is not rom specific, anyways, if anyone has any idea about what this might be, it would really help, i don't wanna go back to stock
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chineel:
Looks you are rebooting to wrong active partition. Check with TWRP which one is your active partition change it and reboot
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Enigma.:
I fixed it, i wasn't that, but thanks anyway.

For anyone who may run into same problem, solid approach is to just install stock back and then follow the steps, but what I think happened to me, is that i just thought i was in a loop but actually wasn't. I'm running this rom now, and i noticed right after flashing the rom, screen shows "android one" logo, then i goes black and shows the same screen again, that's when i would press power button to power off and then reboot into recovery thinking os wont boot, but it boots after that.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chineel:
For first boot, it may take some long time around 2 to 3 Min.

TWRP shows updater process ended with signal 4

What is the problem?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rien333:
I had the same thing. I'm unsure what caused it, but I'm guessing it has to do with things not being installed in the right slot. It's not really a "fatal" problem though, it just means that "you" did a step out of order during the installation process (I write "you", but installation instructions in xda land can be a bit vague, to say the least). Supposedly, signal 4 is emitted when a CPU receives an instruction it doesn't understand, but I'm not sure how that applies to installing a ROM.

What I did to fix this error is to reflash stock. Then, follow these instructions earlier in this thread: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81147065&postcount=30. (the first few steps are actually reflashing stock, but if you follow these completely you will be in the right starting position) These instructions are basically the only ones that worked for me, and I tried multiple. Good luck.

I see you are using google apps. Have you tried with plain Lineage rom ?

Mine is working, and I use fdroid, and don't have gapps at all.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Charles IV:
firstly i wanted to say thank you so much for this, its great to have lineageos on this device.

there are just a few issues and questions i have, to check if its just me or if there are workarounds, if not, dont worry.

Probably the most major is notifications and ringtones - they sound like the speaker/headphones are broken, but other sounds when played through music player etc are fine.

next is camera, is there a camera app that has all 3 cameras working without gapps? ive been through the thread and people have reported success with some gcam ports, but they dont work work on my install without gapps. There was a port that worked without gapps but it didnt seem to support the other cameras. edit: actually i found anxcamera which is a port of the stock camera and this works fine.

this one isnt as important, but a nice to have. on the stock rom the fingerprint sensor would continue to listen with the screen off, on lineageos i have to turn the screen on first, is there a workaround for this?

i cant play m4as with the builtin music player. i can just use vlc so its not too big of a problem.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] stayros32001:

Hi, no chance. Only with the official stock roms V10.3.12.0.PFQEUXM and V10.3.12.0.PFQMIXM the fingerprint was working. With Lineage (and for testing i shortly installed the siberia project rom) the same behaviour occurs...

With flashing the 48mp fix for anx, my ultra hd pictures still have lower quality and size than all the others, (1920x1080 instead of 4000x3000) is this normal? Not really sure what Im missing here.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Charles IV:
well, i've been testing mine, when i take pictures normally its 4000x3000 and 2-3MB, when I select 48mp mode its 8000x6000 and ~500kB.

i'm yet to decide ends up being better quality, but it seems to vary and be more down to how shaky the picture is and if it was focused, and no doubt compression is having an effect. I can't find an option to take raw in settings but picture quality is set to high.

edit: actually under a more controlled test the 48mp picture definitely seemed lower quality, maybe this is because the app is compressing them much more for some reason?

im using the full version with the 48mp addon, without the addon the 48mp mode option was still there and didnt crash but i didnt test it

I've just noticed that Bluetooth audio doesn't seem to be working. I can generally connect to Bluetooth headphones/speakers, but sound won't come out of them. In 'sound' in settings I can sometimes choose an output device but it never actually switches.Searching through the thread it looks like it hasn't been mentioned before, has anyone else tried Bluetooth headphones, or is it just a problem with my install?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Egnappah:
I use bluetooth in my car and with wireless headphones on a daily basis, and I got 0 problems so far. So I wonder whats up with your situation, you can pair but no sound? Maybe you got some weird sound option enabled that mutes everything or something?

Great work on the ROM....

Was an absolute nightmare getting this flashed so that it booted properly... this A/B nonsense really makes flashing awkward.... I can't even remember the exact sequence of what I did to make it work in the end... it was something like:-

Unlock bootloader.

Flash TRWP into SlotB, Boot TWRP from SlotB.

"Normal WIPE".

Flash ROM ( adb sideload )

Flash TWRP Installer Package.

Reboot Recovery ( from slotB still ).

Changeover to SLOTA ( TWRP Reboot Menu ).

Wipe Data.

Install GApps ( adb sideload ).

Install FBE Patch from here: FBE_Patch_Link

Reboot again.... Potentially I think it dropped to fastboot at this stage. Flipped to SLOTB and rebooted... Voila Lineage...

But my word what a faff.

Only observation so far:- fingerprint speed and accuracy isn't great... doesn't always scan, says "partial print" a lot... slot to respond... weird.

Other than that.... ( and the install process ).... really great to have this available for Laurel_Sprout.

So what exactly does no_fde10 actually do?

The only way I can get lineageos to work is by flashing this zip, and I cannot enable encryption in the settings menu (it just restarts the phone and its still disabled)

Has anyone got this running with encryption? Can we not use the no_fde10 zip?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jemec26:
Exactly that. Disable force encryption, therefore you cannot encrypt back
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Charles IV:
why do we need to disable encryption? what issues are caused by it? i had to format data after installing my build iirc, but after that encryption worked fine, although i did have some issues, but i dont think they were related to encryption.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mia325:
Can you check settings and see if encryption is enabled if you still have the rom installed? Mine would let me press enable encryption and it would appear to work but after checking it was still disabled.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Well I figured out how to get this rom working with encryption, but it isn't easy. I think TWRP is unable to correctly format the f2fs data partition so encryption must be disabled, luckily I found a workaround in another thread. Also because TWRP doesnt have resize.f2fs included you need a microsd larger than your data partition (e.g. if you have a 64gb phone, 64gb or higher is okay), and a linux computer. You're going to flash a blank userdata image I found on another thread and then after booting DD the whole userdata partition to an img file on the microsd, use a linux PC to run the resize command, and DD it back onto the phones block. Its a lot of work but once its done you will have an encrypted installation and a full size data partition!

Start at stock rom and Slot A selected

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

fastboot reboot (hold vol +)

Flash rom and twrp zip files

Reboot to recovery

Flash magisk zip file

Reboot to bootloader

Flash this empty userdata image found here with fastboot flash userdata userdata.img: https://xdaforums.com/mi-a3/development/rom-aospextended-7-0-t4051419

fastboot reboot

After it starts you will have an encrypted LineageOS installation! However the storage space is going to be 16GB instead of the full size of the phone

TWRP in all their wisdom decided to not include the binaries to resize f2fs filesystems in their recovery, so you need an SD card larger than the userdata partition size (mine was like 50gb for a 64gb phone)

In recovery cd to /sdcard1

umount /data

umount /dev/block/sda15 (THIS MIGHT BE DIFFERENT ON YOUR DEVICE MINE WAS 15 CHECK /dev/block/by-name for the userdata partition

dd if=/dev/block/sda15 of=data.img bs=4096k (This takes a long time)

Put the microsd into a linux computer and run resize.f2fs data.img

Do the original DD in reverse (dd if=data.img of=/dev/block/sda15 bs=4096k)

Reboot system and you have encrypted lineageos with the correct partition size!
