I think many devs are waiting for the new firmware blobs (MIUI 12, Android 10) launched for our device, since there are no points in fixing current bugs when a whole new changes on firmware level, from the manufacturer, are right in front of us right now.

Can't wait to see Xiaomi give our device that new thing and see how our beloved devs and community rolls with it :)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] lil'peter:
on willow with the latest build everything seems fine to me, front and back camera working (youtube too). I'll update if I find bugs.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gentano:
Any more informations? Which build, which Gapps, which Youtube (Stock/Vanced)?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mrmazak:
Both builds of Los. (5-15 & 5-29)

Nano gapps 5-2* (twenty something, will update when get to PC to confirm what download)

Nano gaps, so had to download YouTube from play store. So it would be latest release.

And I do have magisk 20.4 flashed, don't think this could effect it though.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gentano:
I also flashed Magisk 20.4.

This is really weird.. guess I have to try a few more times to find the issue... thanks anyway.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] VickRedmi:
Hello again,

I thought it had a specific procedure but I simply flashed the new version.

Overall it works fairly good, I have installed this OS for de-googling my gingko therefore I cannot give a feedback on the Play Store or how the google services work.

The main bugs I have come across are the following:

- the system clock, once the phone has been shut down, resets completely and it goes back to a date and a time backwards, even to a month ago, today morning I had the phone reporting May 3rd. (sometimes it happened even when the phone was on.)

- When SMS notification appears in the notification centre, it is impossible to open the SMS directly from there, I have to open the message from the app.

- Sometimes, the notifications appear only when I unblock the phone, even if they are from one hour before. The notifications don't appear if the phone is blocked.

The other smaller bugs I came across are not being able to use the 48mp camera. (My camera, by the way, works well, after 29-5 updating as well).

It misses the chance of choosing static IP on wi-fi connection.

A last question: on this OS, would there be the possibility of adding a parallel space for cloning the apps without comes to outer apps? (As it happens for MIUI)

Besides these little bugs, the OS is fluent and works fine!!

For the gaming part, I am testing games and will let you know!

Thank you!

How do you de Google? Install apps only via apk? I only want the Gmail app from Google tho.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] VickRedmi:
Hi, yes I only install apps via APK and I don't use any app provided by Google. It works fine.

If you want to use Gmail, try and download it by APK store. (As APK Pure)

I tried to download outlook via APK and it worked.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mrmazak:
The solution I showed, is not really the right fix.

Other roms have same prop setting, but Bluetooth is working.

The configuration depends on an xml file audio config file. As mentioned explained in this commit for pixel.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Wind07:
Maybe some insight to this issue:

I have a ginkgo with cameras removed physically (for work purposes) so Camera2 never initializes successfully (No camera detected).

I am also unable to load youtube on the latest build while it worked on the previous build I used before updating (March build)

According to logs I have collected the youtube app is stuck in a loop waiting for the camera service to start. (Can never start because I have no cameras)

Im aware this may never be fixed for me because my use case is so niche but this was the cause for youtube not starting for me.

willow (clean installs):

On 15/05 build the phone froze into a blackscreen randomly, also sometimes when I was on a call (screen wouldn't come back alive)

On 29/05 build the phone randomly reboots. I noticed in my case mostly when it's in my pocket (OFTEN), so something specifically is triggering it.

I am not the only reporting this if you are looking some posts up. Hopefully this is something this can be fixed, ROM looks stable other than the reboots.

Camera doesn't work at all

Hello, I'm having an issue with the camera (8T willow). Wiped and flashed phone multiple times, tried multiple camera apps and none of them work (app UI is visible, image is black, crashes after a few seconds).

I captured a log using adb logcat (phone was on home screen, didn't touch phone, no apps opened). The same cycle of logs keeps looping forever.

https:// pastebin. com/QdYdJ295

Issue seems to be related to nm-camera not finding multiple libcamera*.so binaries, and probably causing CameraManagerGlobal to say "Camera service is unavailable". I'm not familiar with how Android works so this is as far as I got.

If it helps, I bought the phone(8T willow) two weeks ago in EU, so it probably came with the EU version of MIUI, maybe a newer version?

Just to confirm, here are the steps I took for installation (used this procedure about 5 times now):

TWRP WIPED:

Dalvik / ART Cache

System

Vendor

Big problemen after update. I go tot havoc
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Cerveza:
The problem is that this community is way too small. It's not a popular phone with many users. I come from a Redmi Note 5 which has a way bigger community on XDA and it results in beautiful stable ROMS.

Probably reverting back to MIUI 12 when it comes out. Or this ROM (or Havoc) must go stable in the next weeks.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Scientwisted:
So, I am here because I have finally gotten tired of the stock OS and have found what I believe to be a better option.

I've downloaded all the prerequisite items and have a few questions I haven't found a relative answer to:

Do I need to unlock the boot loader first or can I bypass that step by flashing the things in the said order?

Will this fix the Note 8's issue with disabling internet data while in a call? ( I'm on Metro BTW if that makes a difference and I already have VoLTE on and part of my plan, changed nothing)

Would it be possible to get some slightly more in-depth steps for this process please, I haven't rooted or modified any of my phones since my old LG motion and have forgotten all the command lines I learned.

Sorry to be a PITA, I just can't take this obtuse OS anymore.

Using LineageOS on a Redmi Note 8. Thank you for the great work!

1) I am having difficulties with donating via PayPal. Not sure where the problem lies.

2) I cannot switch vom rear to front camera for photos, video conferences etc. On my other LineageOS phone (Samsung) there is an icon shown to switch the camera. Cannot find anything like that on the note 8.

EDIT: Works with latest ROM. Great! Thank you!

3) How can I get the latest fixes? (No update found in Settings -> System -> Updater)

EDIT: Figured it out: Download latest ROM to host computer, connect phone, boot phone into TWRP, sideload ROM, boot system on phone.

4) Any chances to make the note8 officially supported?

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Scientwisted:
Yeah, I did read that it normally takes a week or168ish hours but mine unlocked in 16. Literally now the phone is rebooting unlocked, and I just checked the menu (after some setup) and it says its unlocked.

If I use adb to check the boot loader, will that also confirm this so I don't brick this thing?

Edit: Seems I cant get adb to even list the phone but the all-in-one tool can list it, maybe my tools aren't configured for this thing or out of date or something.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rmeletti:
Nice ROM. Most things are working fine. The only thing that bothers me is not having a compatible Gcam. Nikita latest version works great for main camera but lacks macro and wide support since it is meant fore OnePlus 5T.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] seeyaomi:
Yeah I don't know either about some computers working with ADB detecting the phone and some don't. In my experience it's better to use the back USB ports, if you have a ****ty OEM computer or an old machine, front USB often not so good. And install the ADB drivers:

https://adb.clockworkmod.com/

First, you need the MiUnlock tool

https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html

Important: If you put your email in the login screen, and then try to unlock the bootloader, it will say something along the lines of 'Sorry this number/account is not connected to a Xiaomi account'. You have to put your PHONE number (not your email! (although it says you can use either)), in the login screen. Then I could unlock the bootloader.

You'll also need the Flash Tool to flash the original ROM if LineageOS isn't to your liking, but also because it has a Driver tab, where you can let it install various phone drivers, maybe that helps with your computer detecting the phone in ADB or otherwise:

https://www.xiaomiflash.com/download/

Important: this Flash Tool used to crash on me all the time, whenever I clicked a button or something it would give Java error messages, you need to create a folder in the Flash Tool folder to fix that (I think it was <log>). How that isn't fixed yet boggles my mind. I JUST downloaded the latest version of the flash tool to see if I'm not crazy or remembering incorrectly (well, it's from 2018 so there), but yep, it's still as I said: it still comes without the all-important log folder, and when I click the tab 'Authentication', for example, I get a crazy error, and after I create the log folder, the error goes away. I don't know if they're doing it on purpose, or if they're just incapable programmers, or both.

When you flash the original ROM, in the bottom right click 'Clean All'. Instead of default 'Clean All and Lock'. But it's no big deal if you forget that, you can just unlock again with Mi Unlock.

I didn't grab lineage due to alot of people saying theres random crashes and the cameras tending not to work. Once thats ironed out I'll make the switch. Only bug I've had on havoc is in a call the ear speaker wont work and instead only the speaker phone works regardless if I hit the speaker button or not. For any rom flashes I'll be using TWRP because it's dead easy once the recovery is installed. Thanks for all the info, I appreciate the effort.
