Battery = Awesome

Yes, that's my new daily driver (just the video recording that doesn't work but i know that will be fixed in the next build)

Thanks!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Danmann:
I moved to this ROM too.

I couldn't use twrp because of the black screen bug but orange fox is usable.

[MENTION=10665893]Tifgick[/MENTION]

Thanks for the Indian vendor image.

Btw it would be great to add this to the first post as well.

Edit:

Microg, Edxposed and magisk works. ? So do afwall & xprivacylua.

When bugs will be working?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Danmann:
I bought this phone last October. Since yesterday it was in my cupboard.

We have finally a few roms. Bugs are working maybe in 6 month, tomorrow or even never. Just wait.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
Hey, installed the rom yesterday, it seems pretty good!

Some first malfunctions I noticed apart from the known bugs:

*Lockscreen wallpaper is all the time the same as the home screen wlalppaper. Even if they are set to 2 different pictures in the settings.

*When I connect phone to PC with usb, I don't get notification to chose between charge only/MTP etc. I can change the preference though through developer settings. EDIT: Sorry, I just noticed that this setting now exist in Settings>Connected Devices>USB. I get also a notification now, after a system restart. everything okay regarding this!

*NightLight is buggy/flickery when something is moving/changing in the screen and during transitions. This is solved by forcing gpu rendering of the screen in developer options.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tifgick:
Dunno bout you.. but my lockscreen and homescreen wallpapers are different and the feature's completely fine.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
Hmm... Am I missing something then..?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tifgick:
Which build are you on?

And, did you flash gapps?

Because i'm using google's wallpapers app
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
Latest LOS17.1 + gapps. I just tried with Google's wallpaper app but it didn't work. Hmm...

It seems like the lockscreen is following the home screen no matter what. The lockscreen background is being selected in the settings but it is not applied.

Tried setting it with Google's wallpaper app, Google photo, stock gallery app and with my file manager, it is the same every time.

I tried also setting trebuchet as default launcher but it didn't help.

Tried also clearing the data of the default background picker app.

It is very interesting because it is working for you but not for me! It would be nice if someone else also reported his/her experience regarding this issue.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tifgick:
If that's the case,, then i don't know what to do, try doing something from other apps like setting wallpaper from gallery, or maybe clear data cache??

Edit::Sorry, because I'm facing some issues with image upload, so I'm unable to send you the screenshots.. my bad
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tifgick:
I've recently updated from the 20200329 version to 20200330.. But after the update, i seem to be not able enter the system section of settings. Every time i try doing it, the app crashes. But i was able to enter there from a guest account on my device. I dirty flashed the update and installed gapps. So does anybody know what's happening...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Bryceicle1971:
What the???

Boots straight to fastboot? Does it need a particular vendor or particular sections wiped? Did not see in instructions?

---------- Post added at 06:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 AM ----------

I saw miui 10 when it was flashing lol. It might need something miui 11 so reflashing that first
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tifgick:
You should have miui with android 9 ,,, and indian vendor... That's all there is to it. Andif you didn't close force encrypt, do it... It gave me a hell lot of pain in the ass not knowing so..
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] poster74:
Does this mean that this rom doesn't support encrypted partition - You need to have decrypted partitions to use LineageOS ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Danmann:
Nah, encryption works.

Encryption doesn't work with the official twrp but with orange fox.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tifgick:
No , of course it works... But i think there was a problem with my device when it was unable to start any custom roms with previously encrypted device ,,, though i did a factory reset/ format data / whatever that it's called.

The problem was :: after an installation(custom rom- clean or dirty flash, both) my device got stuck on boot animation forever.. and force reboot never was able to boot into system again (always took me straight to recovery). So i went for rm forceencrypt from twrp after factory reset. Then ,,, it didn't solve my boot animation loop, but when i force rebooted , the os was able to boot normally ever after...? Hope you got my point

I'm sorry, cause i don't have any fix for you. But, I'm just curious , about which vendor you're on.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] polfrank:
It is the Indian vedor that was posted in this thread at some point. Edit: It is actually the one that you posted in page 4!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Bryceicle1971:
Thanks for the tip. Not many good roms for this cell just yet. Only been 6mths
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] :
Youtube vanced not working here :/ Anyone got it working?

And apart from that and the few bugs mentioned around I can say this Rom works quite well.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tifgick:
Faced some unmentioned issues with the rom. Don't know about others,, but I faced them. This is just to inform, and with due respect towards the developer.

* Shareit doesn't work while receiving files.(probably hotspot problem,, p.s. hotspot works in other cases)

* Screen recording is massively buggy.

* Unable to change call volume for earphones , always stays at full volume. (Messenger calling and calls over such apps are fine.. just with normal voice calls)

* Sometimes, and i mean a very less number of times, apps are removed from the memory despite having enough memory though i didn't close them, (just switched apps)

* Some apps like adobe draw works notably slower than normal. And sometimes the normal functions freeze(not the app itself)

* Video recording broken.

* Another minor issue is, apps in horizontal orientation have half cut images in recent apps screen.

Apart from these, the rom is just great, no doubting that. Thanks for such a great piece. Keep up the good work.

The youtube vanced page says in the help section of root that it works for < android 10,,, so maybe this is the reason?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] thebazman:
Youtube Vanced

It's working on mine through magisk. I have Pico Gapps and everything fine.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] :
Flashed and installed YouTube vanced trough every method possible, none of them worked for me, gonna try a clean flash and see, anyways thanks
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] theimpulson:
- Hotspot needs more work, I agree on that. I am looking more into it.

- Lags/janks and all are supposed to be and will be fixed soon.

- Video Recording will be fixed again, but at the cost ofvideo playing capability via Instagram and WhatsApp. Issue is that removing the conflicting codec fixes video playback but breaks recording. I have reverted the commit in the tree, will release the build with it soon. As video playback works fine from local players, I suppose people can live with it for a while. Also Anx camera (Miui camera port) will work on later builds too.

- I would need logs for your volume issue in calling

- I will do something about apps dying in background

-Also about the wallpaper issue some guys were facing, its a lineage bug and has been fixed, I will release builds with it fixed.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tifgick:
About the logs,,,,, Should I take logcat, dmesg or maybe something else?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] theimpulson:
Logcat
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] -Tiz-:
I do not yet have my device. But I am truly grateful if development continues. It's great that - sometimes - also MTK chips are supported.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tin_Man_0:
So I went over to GitHub to download the latest and greatest and I noticed that the past couple of versions, a recovery.img is now included with the assets. I've searched up and down the commits, bugs, and anything else in English that I could find but nothing on that rather important file. Do I need it for this latest install? I probably should have asked this on Git, but I'm not really familiar with it and where to post what.

Thanks again for all your awesome work!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] theimpulson:
Well, the story behind recovery.img is simple. Guys at LineageOS wanted to have their own recovery which can install custom zips and stuff and is closer to AOSP as in source code modifications for it to be easier to maintain and support. So, they came up with it. It's now also a must to be working if you want official LineageOS support. So, I am trying to get it working as well. Current versions don't boot at all. Looking around and I hope it will be working soon. I will announce it here, so don't worry about that.

Also, considering Xiaomi released the Q kernel sources, I am working on it, for us to be able to use Q vendor and kernel sources to get more things working. It will take time. I will post regular updates on the thread if I get something working as well.

I managed to install Lineage! The secret is to flash orange fox recovery and not use twrp. At least not the version that I had, but I think it's the same one that's been around for a while now. Flash TWRP to do the usual unlock and root if you want but I could not got Lineage OS to install for nothing, wipe, stock, wipe some more, indian vendor, wipe, stock, wipe some more, and it wasn't until I installed Orange fox as a recovery that everything went smoothly. Everything seems to be working great, it's really fast too. But, I did notice something, the wifi randomly goes out on the phone. It sits there attempting to detect wireless networks but it's obviously failing because there's like 20 wireless networks near by and it doesn't detect a thing. The fix is simple enough, just turn the wifi off and then back on and it'll work for a day or two more. I happend to catch it and stopped to think for a minute and collected logs before and after I reset the wireless. Hopefully they might be of some use. Even though my syslog app scrubs the logs for any personal info, I'm just going to PM them to you.

Flashing doesn't work

I tried to flash different versions of this rom over TRWP without any success. It just ends up in an infinite loop, any ideas on how to fix this?

I have a question regarding the indian vendor image.

The one that is linked in the thread and this one (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/vendor/begoniain/) should work both?

Just noticed that the linked one on google-downloads is 913MB while the ones of xiaomifirmwareupdater are all around 450 MB. I wonder why that is.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] pritish1998:
Use the one that is linked in the thread
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hanzn:
Thanks, did it. (Still wondering what the difference is and why both are called indian vendor)

Steps I tried now (with working OrangeFox Recovery):

flash the vendor.img from this thread as vendor (no reboot)

flash latest lineage from github & opengapps (arm64, A10, nano) (no reboot)

wipe cache & dalvik

reboot to system

Result:

After showing lineage loading screen for some time phone reboots back to OrangeFox recovery.

Any ideas what I missed? Do I need to flash stock in between like here described? And if so, which stock?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] pritish1998:
Both are Indian vendors but 1 might be raw image that's why the size difference.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hanzn:
Wow, got it to work. Should have cleaned everything before I tried the listed points.

This worked:

wipe system, vendor, data, etc.

copy vendor.img, lineage-rom, opengapps to phone

flash the vendor.img from this thread as vendor (no reboot)

flash latest lineage from github & opengapps (arm64, A10, nano) (no reboot)

wipe cache & dalvik

reboot to system
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tin_Man_0:
Yeah, you're gonna have to be alot more specific. Like exactly where and what step in the instructions you're at and where and how it's not going as expected.

Oops. Neededed to catch up on the thread first. I was gonna suggest exactly that. Flash stock, then twrp, and root, then your preloaders and finally vendor and orange fox and Lineage should install without a hitch.

It's interesting to note that while they state on the Megathread that the preloader is only good for the Android 9 MI 10 or 11, Lineage 17.1 is Android 10 and doesn't seem to have a problem with it. I'm guessing the problem has nothing to do with the Android version and everything to do with Xaiomi f-ing around with the MTK preloader security locks even more. It's not like it's bad enough damn near anything bricks the phone, including flashing their own firmware with that rollback protection. They're slowly making their way to just not unlocking the bootloader anymore.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] hanzn:
fyi, I didn't install any preloaders whatsoever. Phone was on MIUI 11/Android 9 when I started. So after installing OrangeFox I followed the steps I mendtioned in the list above. That's it.

Fingerprint sensor seems to work fine btw.

Notifications seem unreliable

first i want to thank all the devs for their great work. I installed this ROM on RN8P without any hiccups - after reading this and the "Megathread" from end to end about 2 times. (Guess thats the best use of the 168 hour unlock delay...)

So far i am rather happy with the Rom, it is stable and i didn't find any major problem that wasn't mentioned so far - except one thing: Whatsapp does not notify me about incoming messages - or sometimes hours later. When waking up the phone and activating Whatsapp, all notifications pop up at once. Email (K9 Mail) seems to be similar, but i can't tell for sure who the culprit is. SMS notifications come instantaneous. I didn't test other messengers.

I noticed a similar problem years ago on a MotoG 2014 (titan) with the first LineageOS builds after the transition from Cyanogenmod, later the problem went away. ( I remember this well since it was a source of discussions between my wife and me - she suspected me to somehow suppress her messages ;) )

Hello,

I was on Android 10 / MIUI 11, I followed the following part of the megathread but then I tried to install TWRP and I soft bricked my device.

I used avdo06's tutorial (Did I hardbrick my RN8P..?

) https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-8-pro/help/hardbrick-rn8p-t4064637 in order to reinitialize my phone and now I'm on Android 9 MIUI 11.0.3.0 (PGGEUXM)

If I'm not wrong, I don't need to use the following code so I just need to flash TWRP and your ROM ?

fastboot flash preloader preloader_begonia.bin

fastboot flash lk lk.img

fastboot flash lk2 lk.img

Thank you in advance

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] TheBolshe:
I don't really understand what is needed to get global features like NFC on all of these roms. Every one says you need to flash indian vendor first. Could someone explain it to me please ?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] u8ububu:
You don't *really* need indian vendor, it's just that the HyperTeam uses it, so if you want to be remotely compatible with their work, you really should use it. That said, AFAIK RN8P indian version doesn't have NFC at all, so it's likely the indian vendor doesn't have the drivers for it (worse, the kernel drivers for nfc, wifi, gps and other stuff like that are out-of-tree).

For example, I'm using the EU vendor (and firmware) on a chinese device with this Lineage. Using the stock (same as vendor) kernel (and dtbo, since mixing those ends up in a brick solvable only through SPFT), I've got most stuff roughly working ok (wifi, gps, nfc). The only thing to watch out if you're using EU vendor is that only the first Lineage release shows the setup screen (the others just show a black screen, unless you turn off the screen, when the screen stops working), and even if you upgrade to the newer ones after completing the setup, some apps won't work on them (Instagram is an example). Also, you'll want to disable the mediatek hadware codecs, since they seem broken on LOS (on the release page, HyperTeam said it's the H264 codecs, I've seen VP9 broken too, so I suppose all are). What you'd gain from using non-indian vendor + stock kernel are nfc and selinux (and possibly fingerprint, I don't know which way it is broken on indian vendor).
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] spwnage:
Im having some problems with encryption, does anyone know how to fix it? What Ive done: Installed preloader&lk. Installed unofficial TWRP. Format. When installing LOS i have to disable avb & forceencryption in order to boot, forceencrypt and encrypting after first boot results in the same problem. If I encrypt I get boot splash looping and running adb logcat during boot gets me:

05-09 23:01:51.814 483 483 E FIDOCA : : get_fp_vendor: get fp_prop fail, retry remain: 95

I have EU version of the phone, same error with Indian and global vendor. It seems some other people have had problems with errors like this. Has anyone with previous problems had success in using encryption?

Any of you guys that have already been using this ROM as a daily driver do any upgrades yet? Just wondering if there's an upgrade path to the latest on Git that doesn't involve me having to reinstall all my apps and reconfigure all my tweeks.

BTW, I I haven't seen anyone mention anything, but I've found tasker to be invaluable in covering for some of these bugs. Like I've got one task that keeps an eye on my WiFi and restarts it whenever it gets jammed up, and another for my sip call settings that keep getting reset back to factory. It's a bit of a pain to set them up but every time I've had to wipe I just restore those "fixes" and I'm just a little closer to alot less hassle.
