About that Wifi, does it disconnect due to signal strength? What does dumpsys wifi say?

For me, I've got my network sometimes going under -80dBm on 5GHz, which makes the phone disconnect ridiculously often. You might want to take a look at Android's wifi debugging page (which, despite being so useful, is impossible to find on google search without the right keywords). After changing rssi5, I haven't had any disconnects.

Also, I don't know if this is a problem on the indian vendor, but on global, mismatched hostapd and dnsmasq interface versions in android break hotspot. Latest phh gsi does not have this problem.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure some of the lost push notifications are from the battery optimization thingie. De-optimizing apps seems to let them show push notifications (both microg and opengapps, if my memory serves me well). I know from logcat that microg has some trouble temporarily whitelisting apps that just received notifications, so if the app isn't already running in the background, the push message doesn't start their activity.

Damn, was hoping this might solve some issues. Especially the video playback is stil broken for most social media apps.

Same issue but got it from a clean flash
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] u8ububu:
Xiaomi logo not showing up means that lk doesn't like the kernel/dtbo (I've mostly seen it when using stock kernel with LOS dtbo or vice-versa, despite stock kernel+stock dtbo and LOS kernel + LOS dtbo working fine). Flashing stock kernel+dtbo should make it work again.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hanzn:
Sweet, are videos in social media apps like instagram or whatsapp working?

Sorry, I don't understand what this means.

What does "lk" mean?

What does "dtbo" mean?

Which kernel is stock and where to get it?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] u8ububu:
LK is little kernel. It's used by most manufacturers as bootloader. On mtk devices it's run after the preloader; you can find it in lk and lk2 partitions.

The dtbo is the kernel's device tree (which specifies which hardware is installed in the system, kinda like the bios/uefi/acpi on pc, but without the executable code).

By stock kernel i mean the one that came in the same official xiaomi rom as the vendor.

Guys, please don't try pre-releases from GitHub repo. They are supposed to be test builds which are not stable for use.

Time for a little feedback! Just installed the latest CFW compatible build dated 06062020. I tried dirty flashing over the latest non-CFW LOS build, which in my case worked without problems (at least it seems so).

I rebooted to the non-CFW TWRP that I already had installed and I did everything from there (Caution! This is not the installation process provided by the developers, and if you decide to do it, you do it at your own risk! Take care of your data before doing anything dangerous!):

1. Reboot to non-CFW TWRP.

2. Flash CFW zip.

3. Flash CFW TWRP img.

4. Wipe cache, dalvik, system.

5. Install CFW LOS17.1.

6. Install GApps.

7. Reboot to system.

The system seems a little more stable and smooth compared with earlier. Fingerprint unlock works 100% of the times! <3

Little bugs that I found:

1. I don't know if this was supposed to be fixed or not, but video playback with chatting apps (like Viber/WhatsApp) is still broken, like before CFW (the sound is playing fine, but the image of the video is broken. The first frames are namely being repeated over and over).

2. Also, I cannot find the Torch tile in quick settings. This one was present in the non-CFW build.

3. Night mode is still buggy (it had been buggy before also). Workaround: Enable the "Disable HW overlays" option in developer options (does not persist after reboot).

Otherwise, I found no more bugs. I didn't test NFC or volte, but they surely don't work yet, as expected with all the custom ROMs for our device.

In conclusion...

Excellent work to all the people that contributed to the custom rom project for begonia! A big THANK YOU! <3

One question: Do we need to reflash GApps in the future? I mean, if we want to dirty flash a future CFW build (without wiping the system partition).
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Egor3608:
Just curious, but which recovery (twrp) are you guys using for the cfw version? i get always "zip_compatible_err" when flashing with twrp-CFW-3.3.1-0-begonia_UNOFFICIAL_0506
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Anthor_nl:
I have a (perhaps stupid) question. all the custom roms seem to have VoLTE problems, but i'm not quite sure what that means.

Does it mean I can only make VoIP calls?

Or can I make/receive normal calls, but not at 4g quality, only 3g/UMTS and below ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Egor3608:
Yes its about voice calling which uses 4G quality

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] theimpulson:
Open the ROM zip using some archive manager and nuke compability.zip inside it. That zip is supposed to work as an assert on treble devices. It compares versions of the zip vintf files with the recovery ones from which the build is being installed and fails the installation if the checks fail.

A legit fix for it is to fix/update TWRP. I will fix it when I get a chance. I am currently busy with an other device of mine.

In order for more detailed information, read: https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/vintf/match-rules
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Danmann:

That's actually what I just did. But I had to to format internal sd as well. And cache, system etc.

Anyway, thank you!

hi and well i tested several twrp before finding the right one the pitch was perfect since the begonia twrp didnt work for me
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Danmann:
What is "the pitch"?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] bijbij19:
Pitchblack

pitchblack recovery project and a twrp I managed to put pichblack with twrp begonia basically you install twrp begonia you but on your pitchblack sd card and you install it via recovery once the installation is finished you do a restart in recovery

Hi!

Thanks for your job!

I'm considering to start using this rom.

I have a single requirement, I want to record my calls.

Is it possible with lineageOS 17?

I supose that is possible, but I'm not pretty sure.

Thanks in advance.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] bijbij19:
Lineage

Hi

All the credit goes to you who did it.

Yes you can record your calls there are several applications for .
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tin_Man_0:
Found a new bug, at least I think it's one, and it's a pain in the a$ to recover from if you trip it. LineageOS has this "system profiles" in the dropdown settings where you can specify triggers that will automatically configure various settings as the triggers get applied. Based on the error messages I got from even attempting to do a backup in Orange Fox or TWRP, that "system profiles" must be using the mulitple user profiles to make the changes and the end result is that it puts the whole LineageOS in to a bootloop. It's not a full power off reboot bootloop, but just a lineageos loop. Only the LineageOS logo animation restarts and you'll get to your password prompt and seconds later it'll reboot to the lineageos logo again. I had to try several dozen times to quickly get into the phone, pull down the menu and turn off the system profiles.

I just checked Megathread and wanna double check the process with you to prevent ending up with a bricked phone

My phone is RN8Pro 128/6 Indian

I am on MIUI 11.0.4 Android 9

1. unlock the boot loader (I am in waiting for 168 hours period!)

2. antibricke with file: begoniain-A10-CFW_20200530.zip

fastboot flash preloader preloader_begonia_usf.bin

fastboot flash lk lk.img

fastboot flash lk2 lk.img

3. flash OrangeFox Recovery as:

fastboot flash recovery OrangeFox-CFW-R10.1-begonia_UNOFFICIAL_1506.img

4. reboot recovery

5. install lineagos 17.1 as:

wipe data/system/internal

install latest LineageOS build

ignore gapps (I hate google!)

wipe dalvik

reboot system

Am I safe? Is this linenageos build CFW compatible?

Also the title of this thread says it is begonia compatible but my phone is begoniain, any problem?

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] UlfmitY:
Thank you so much for your work. Got it running two days ago on my Chinese phone with Chinese MIUI 10.4.9 (Android 9) and Indian Vendor

OK, finally I managed to install lineageos 17.1 on my rmn8pro, here is what I did:

0. I am coming from miui 11 android 9 indian version

1. Unlock: you must wait 1 week! It is not a bad thing, you have time to read threads and this save your a$$

2. Flash antibrick (preloader and lk and lk2)

3. Flash twrp (non-cfw version)

4. Reboot to recovery and (Optionally backup all partitions, then) format system/cache/dalvik

5. Flash CFW (begoniain version in my case)

6. Flash LineageOS and magisk zip files

7. Format data

8. Reboot into fastboot and flash a cfw recovery (I flashed orangefox)

9. Reboot

Feedback:

Fingerprint unlock always works fine (there is no need for always on display)

Camera do not support all sensors

GCam do not work (force closes), I tried many versions

Battery is very good (9:30 screen on time)

GPS works

Infrared works

Magisk (latest version) works

4G and Hotspot work

Update: Bluetooth audio with echo!

Thank you for this good rom! You saved me from miui and xiaomi bloats!

And one bit of confusion: In thread title there is no [CFW] tag, but after flashing lineage os it keeps rebooting, until I flashed CFW and then everything works fine!

Just asking: This rom is CFW or non-CFW? to me it seems to be CFW and a [CFW] tag is missing.

Hi, i tried to flash mine, boot it reboots in the beginning ( https://imgur.com/a/M8rCpRE ). What is CFW? Can you help me?

hi this is the file that allows you to be well in recovery if you have a problem at this level installs on your sd twrp flashblack project then installs in fastboot the twrp begonia once install you but in recovery and you install flashblack project especially does not erase anything just install flashblack project then you restart in recovery mode and there you can install your os lineage or other custom
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mf_417:
Update: All camera sensors work (in latest update 20200606) even macro is functional, but you must use trCamera, and the problem with my rom was that there was no gapps installed, after installing gapps both gcam and trCam are functional.

So the only thing that remains (in my opinion) is Bluetooth echo, and I think it will be fixes soon because other custom roms solved this issue.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hanzn:
Are videos from social media apps working for you? In older versions videos only showed a weird small broken loop in apps like Whatpsapp, Instagram, etc.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Anthor_nl:
I installed the 20200606 version too. Been running it for a week now. The issue you mention is still there. I noticed in telegram some of the videos which have the looping issue play normally in the 'muted thumbnail' before you open them. And as far as i can tell they play without problem from gallery.

There may be a few issues, but I'm pleased with this ROM. I didn't want to use my RN8P with chinese miui software, so I basically used it only to receive calls and as a portable hotspot for my other partly broken phone.

Theimpulson said we shouldn't install the github pre-releases, but my other phone was just deteriorating too much.

Is there somewhere where I can help test?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] tomekk228:
First: Sry guys. I understand english very well (reading). But with writing in specific grammar, i am very bad.. Im so sorry!

Goddamit Guys! You Guys are Genius.

First, i want to thank you developers, to find everytime ways to install custom roms and others on nice smartphones.

But the explanations are not so clear for me. I life in germany, and want to buy the Redmi Note 8 Pro. Because this badass smartphone costs here only 200€ (and cant still believe it, on my first handons it was so frickin fast and nice).

But like everytime, i first check the support for my 3 must haves: Orangefox Recovery, Lineage OS, Magisk.

On every other Phone i had (6 different phones. samsung, xiamoi, sony, and other) the Procedure was very clear and very simple:

- Unlock bootloader with fastboot* on xiamoi with xiamois unlocker

- flash orangefox recovery with fastboot

- reboot phone into recovery

- wipe and format everything

- start adb

- (adb sideload needed firmware)* this step only the poco f1 needed

- adb sideload lineage os

- adb sideload magisk

- finish & ready to use

I am not new into flashing roms and other things. I started at the release of Samsung Galaxy S2. And for the must phones i had i compile lineageos by my self with few "extra patches" (another boot logo, few different icons for different settings like wlan, bluetooth. adding a iptables script file at boottime that the smartphone have no internet access until i using a vpn).

But with the Note 8 Pro, i got totaly confused:

-So long i understand, a downgrade to Android 9 is a MUST HAVE? Otherwise flashing other recovery or rom cause a brick witch is only repairable by xiaomi self?

-CFW(? what ever this means) dont is a requirement, but nice to have?

- Orangefox Recovery isnt possible, because only a custom patched TWRP is possible?

- In no Rom Guide on this Forum is mentioned if it needed to install specific firmware (https://xdaforums.com/red...8-pro-t4096343) ?

- In the LineageOS thread is a link, that the megathread is a must have. but the megathread says lineageos is not compatible/possible with CFW? Still dont know if CFW needed?

- and many things more that got me confused... on my list i have 9 different things i have to flash, to use lineageos. But that i cant believe and i think i missunderstood so many things....

.... so i wrote this post!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Danmann:
Just follow the megathread until you have a cfw recovery. Download the latest GitHub release for cfw compatible lineage Rom.

Rest should be known.

The Rom has definitely a few bugs. Connection problems etc pp. But it's still usable. I have it running I don't know 20 days or so.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] tomekk228:
So this Lineageos here is useless? I need the special cfw version? Or is this thread here the cfw version?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mf_417:
Not yet!

The solution I use for now is saving videos and then watching them from gallery.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tin_Man_0:
The LineageOS here works perfectly fine. Your procedure in the past phones is close. Organge fox recovery works fine on the redmi note 8 pro. I'm guessing most of your prior phones were Qualcomm? The advice given earlier to follow the Redmi Note 8 Pro MEGAthread was important advice and i suggest you read it. ALL of it. This phone (AKA Begonia) is a highly prone to bricking and unless you put in some safeguards in advance then if you bricl it you won't have any choice but to take it to a Redmi repair center to fix it. The MEGAthread has all the information you need and even more room to ask questions oncr you have a good understanding of this phone and most especially the various situations that will brick it. Particularly if you're switched from one kind of firmware to global or vice versa and flashing prior versions as well as preboot firmwares. If you've done your own custom jobs in the past then it shouldn't be too hard to get the hang of this phone. Once you follow the MEGAthread procedures when you come back here you should already have your phone rooted and orange fox recovery installed and maybe the special preboot images that will save you several times over. Then you can follow the simple steps of simply making sure you have the indian vendor image, wipe partitions and flash the images using orange fox.

I will give you one tip. Last i had checked and still a little annoying bug on my recovery is that orange fox will boot but with s blank screen. You have to simply tap the power and volume button to get it to show. Exact same buttons that you press to boot into recovery just don't hold the key down for long and you see the orange swipe.
