After some OTA updates, e.g. today, I lose Magisk root. I then have to enter recovery and re-flash magisk23zip.

I use latest stable OrangeFox recovery.

Any hints how to fix this?

If you flash rom, then reboot(to recovery or system) without flashing gapps and flash gapps later, you will have lots of issues.

Wipe system, data, dalvik etc. Flash rom and MindTheGapps, one after the other. No reboot to recovery or system. Rom and gapps should be exactly one after the other without any reboot to anything.

After flashing both together, reboot to system. Flash magisk later if you need it.

I've just upgraded LOS to 18.1 and i have issues with Google Maps. I've used opengapps test version for Android 11. I've tried reinstalling app and also clearing data+cache for maps. Anything I can do beside factory reset (data+cache wipe)?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] 1emrys1:
It got messed up somehwere along the way and now the only way to set everything right is to clean flash. Also LOS team is recommending MindTheGapps for LOS 18.1 because OpenGapps is not stable.

I have linked the lineage os websites and i have also linked the gapps they recommend. Download the Arm64 version.

To get rid of issues related to google play and services,

Boot into recovery

WIpe Cache, dalvik, system, vendor, data

This will wipe your android apps and their data but wont wipe internal storage. WhatsApp folder, downloads folder etc wont be wiped.

Now Flash the rom file and flash MindTheGapps file just after flashing rom. Then boot into system.

If you boot into system before flash gapps and then flash gapps later, you will have lots of problems. So always flash rom and gapps together. And avoid Nikgapps and Openagapps as they're causing issues on Android 11. Use MIndTheGapps

I can confirm that the rom is super smooth and stable if you use MIndTheGapps and flash rom and gapps together.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] SunilSuni:
Thanks for replying but i wasn't using any gapps..

Its a known issue in LOS. Background applications are not retaining in RAM.

Maybe you should try LOS 18.1 to understand background application problem
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] 1emrys1:
Yes actually that's what I did. I have been using lineage os for 3 days now.

Earlier I used crdroid based on android 11. It worked well for a day but from next day it started lagging badly. I turned on developer Options and checked memory usage. System UI was consuming 500+ mb and free memory was below 700. Overall usage was around 80 and going up.

I rebooted the phone. I disabled blur. Everything worked fine for a few hours. But as i kept checking memory usage, I saw system ui usage climbing from 100 to 200 and by next day morning it was again at 400+ and my phone was lagging again.

So it's some kind of a memory leak bug in that rom.

After that I installed latest lineage os(June security patch and android 11) and flashed it in one go with MindTheGapps.

So far i have been using for three days without rebooting my phone and everything has been super smooth. There is no memory leak or excessive ram usage. System ui stays below 200. And free ram stays between 60-70%.

I have also opened reddit, twitter and youtube music together and switched between them. Turned screen off and came back after 20 minutes and switched to reddit and it opened exactly where I left.

So I recommend everyone facing lag and app killing to check their memory usage in Developer Options. If it is reaching 80% or more then something might be wrong. Especially if system ui is going beyond 200-250 mb range.

Some remedial steps can be -

Wipe data, dalvik. Cache, system and vendor. Flash rom and gapps in one go. The reboot.

If this doesn't work then final resort to fix this issue should be -

Download latest global stable rom fastboot file.

Flash it using mi flash. Select flash all. Don't select flash all and lock.

Now boot into redfox using fastboot boot recovery. Then flash redfox using redfox again in recovery. Now recovery has become permanent.

Format data. Wipe those 5 things like system cache. Flash rom and gapps in one go.

This should fix the problem.

This lineage os 18.1 is one of the smoothest and best roms I have found. It isn't filled with unnecessary features and bloat. It's simplistic and fast.

Might've been discussed somewhere, but I couldn't find any info.

Installed this yesterday, its running great, except that my Internal shared storage seems to be limited to 8GB, which massively hinders the phone. Any clues are appreciated
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Justs42:
If you (or anyone else) still has the last 17.1 version and could upload it, would be great. Should be "lineage-17.1-20210405-nightly-whyred-signed.zip". All the mirrors seem to be down and Google leaves me empty handed as well.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Asycid:
It's not exactly the latest (but close to the latest!), but I downloaded 17.1 from here:

https://lineageosroms.com/whyred/

I have to mention, this is absolutely not an official site, but it works. Be warned there is absolutely no guarantee that these are note modified ROMs, because there are no HASH for the 17.1 LineageOS zips on the official site, so you can't even compare to them...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Justs42:
Thanks a lot! I stumbled across this site, too. Unfortunately, all the links are dead for me as well, except for the latest 18.1 build (linking to mirrorbits, the EU mirror is also dead).

I was hoping that at least the hashes of the original files would have been stored on archive. Turns out, no luck in that case as well. Seems to be quite tricky.

What is everyone running for a camera port on 18.1? I noticed ANXCamera says that Whyred isn't supported anymore (Edit: ANX Camera 1.85R seems to work fine flashed through magisk even though its technically unsupported at this point).

Edit 2: Everything seems to work except the beautify mode from my quick testing. I'm using the R version from here by Noid flashed through Magisk 23. It's likely possible to get even more features working using their ANX Camera Pro software on Google Play, but I haven't played around with that yet.

ANXCamera by AEonAX

Download latest ANXCamera, A Miui Camera Port for Xiaomi's Devices, Install via Magisk or TWRP

camera.aeonax.com

Edit 3: Has anyone found a working gcam port for Whyred running android 11? I tried about half a dozen and most seem to work with the rear camera, but they all either crash or freeze the front facing camera. I did see there was a front facing camera fix for 17.1 for one if the modded builds but I have my doubts the libraries would be compatible with Android R. Thanks guys!

Edit 4: Greatness' GCamGo Special builds are working well. I'm running version two of that right now. You can get it from his official telegram thread: https://t.me/GCamGo or the GCam repository here: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] CoLdIcE42:
Im running Urnyx05 Gcam which works surprisingly well however front cam isnt consistent. Did you just flash anx or did you go through their full instructions ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] mik101:
Thanks that was one of the half dozen or so that I tried. The rear cam seems to work well on that one for sure.

I just flashed the full modded R version by Noid through magisk 23 and didn't bother adding any of the extra functionality through their ANX Camera Pro settings app on market (because none if the changes I tried worked properly on Whyred). I didn't follow their backup instructions/pin removal because even if it had bootlooped and the person they referenced recovery was broken, they could have gone to terminal in the recovery and typed " TWRP decrypt 'password' " where password is their set pin/pass in single quotes and it would have decrypted their partition properly. Then the module could be uninstalled through there following their uninstall directions without having to format the data partition.

Edit: also seems to be so-far-so-good on GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.5.apk

Edit2: That build started freezing the selfie cam after a few launches too. I'm not sure why it worked correctly the first few times.

Edit3: If you switch back and forth between the front and rear cam a few times the front cam will start working. I'm probably going to use this instead of ANX --- the only thing you lose is the real front flash (instead GCAM lights the screen up brightly). Considering how little I use the front facing camera, this isn't a big deal to me. Ill keep trying other builds, but this one is working the best so far. The Gcam repository has many builds from many different developers to test: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

Edit4: ANX uninstalls properly through Magisk manager as well incase anyone is curious, but I just reinstalled it because th front facing camera stopped working at all for me with the Urynx05 build above. I'll leave the latter installed for night sight and photosphere and just use ANX for everything else.

The only real bug I've found that's Lineage 18.1/Android 11 related and was already pointed out earlier in this thread: Wireless Display / Miracasting not working. Otherwise it's been great so far. Casting from Youtube etc to my smart TVs still works just fine anyway. I just can't mirror using the Wireless display section in the settings app (it doesn't detect any displays). My second whyred on a heavily modded MIUI12 works fine for that. I forget if it was working on LOS17.1, but I think it was. Cheers guys.

Edit: Switched to CameraGo Greatness 2.5. I wish it had panorama and photosphere, but otherwise it works great.

Hi, why can't I use fingerprint in whyred lineageos 18.1? It's not even recognized.

It was working flawlessly in 17.1.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] 1emrys1:
Could be due to several reasons. Best options would be to -

Flash latest global stable fsstboot rom. Or if you don't want that hassle then flash latest global stable firmware through custom recovery.

Update your recovery to the latest one if not done so already. I recommend latest OrangeFox recovery.

Wipe system, data, vendor, dalvik, cache

Format Data. (its different from wipe data. Format data requires you to type Yes and it will format nternal storage. So backup your internal storage to laptop or sd card)

Now flash Lineage OS. Then flash MindTheGapps right after Los flash is complete.

Reboot to System.

This should fix all problems.

Is anyone else using Android Auto on 18.1?

Bluetooth will connect fine and function fine without the USB cable plugged in, but once I plug in the USB cable for Android Auto bluetooth drops and says "can't connect, restart device". Unplug the USB cable and bluetooth connects properly again. So it seems as though I can choose whether to use bluetooth media and actually receive calls through the car, or use android auto and not be able to receive my calls. I'll have to flash a few versions back to see if it occurred in earlier builds. It works fine on my other whyred running MIUI 12. I honestly can't remember if it was working together properly when I first flashed 18.1 last month because I don't make or receive a lot of calls in the car. I probably didn't notice that it wasn't.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] migasll:
Thanks for the help.

I did all of that except I didn't flash latest xiaomi global stable rom. Does that change anything?

I also don't use anything with google, so I didn't flash MindTheGapps. Does that change anything?

I also use twrp instead of orangefox. Does that change anything?

Everything else works but the fingerprint. Are you sure this isn't an issue with the rom? I'm using the latest available version from 05/07/2021.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] 1emrys1:
The Gapps dont matter if you dont flash them at all. They do matter if someone flashes rom, boots to system and then flashes gapps later. This causes problems. But if you never flash gapps then that cant be an issue.

TWRP can matter depending on what version it is. You need latest TWRP capable of flashing Android 11 roms without issue. Older TWRP may be capable of flashing Android 10 roms or lower but might cause problems with Android 11. So upgrade to the Latest TWRP or latest Redfox. Since everyone seems to be using OrangeFox, maybe try upgrading to that.

And then flash the latest Global Stable firmware from here. It is 62.2 MB

https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/stable/V12.0.2.0.PEIMIXM/

Then format data and clean flash the rom.

Even after doing all this, if your fingerprint is still not working, then the only solution is to flash latest fastboot rom using PC and MI FLash. You have to select Flash All. Avoid selecting " Flash All and Lock" because this option will lock your bootloader as well.

After you select "Flash All", you will have latest global stable installed with Mi recovery.

Full fastboot rom. 2.5 gb. It has tgz extension. Zip extension is recovery rom. Avoid that.

XM Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

Boot to rom. Skip through setup. You will also be able to check for hardware defects on stock miui rom. Check whether your fingerprint/sensors etc are working there. If not, then maybe you have a hardware defect.

Enable USB Debugging. Go back to fastboot. Flash OrangeFox Recovery. Format Data(Important Step). Then flash the Lineage rom.

This should definitely fix all issues whether related to fingerprint or sensors or anything else.

Its gapps problem not ROM. LOS 18.1 is working perfectly
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] drnightshadow:
Don't flash FASTBOOT ROM from recovery... you can brick your phone...use PC and MI flash tool. But 1st make backup of your data.

And after flashing FastBoot ROM you need to boot into MIUI 1 TIME, and wait cca 5 min.

Gapps are cr@pware and I never install it.

And all is working fine, fast and battery holds longer.

Check fingerprint sensor for any scratches.. its very picky.. scratches can destroy xiaomi fingerprint sensor very easy..

To be sure you can go back to MIUI ROM and test there, than come back to LOS (dont forget to wipe system, dalvik/cache, data, internal storage).

Why internal storage? Because of left overs from old and depreciated data android version/different roms.

i not understand... what is firmware ? i know flash rom, kernel... but firmware when ?

before flashing rom ? firmware is the same for aosp and miui ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] 1emrys1:
Miui roms have firmware. They are low level system files. If you had miui installed a long time ago then your firmware version will be old. That might be causing problem.

So just search and flash the latest firmware. It will be about 60-100 mb in size. Or you can flash the whole miui rom using fastboot method. This will definitely fix all your issues if they're related to firmware in any way.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] aleMarvel:
tx for reply ;)

but only miui rom?

why you say "Try flashing latest global stable firmware." at user with lineage?

i use only aosp, lineage,arrow etc
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] brianmolko1981:
Flash this https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/stable/V12.0.2.0.PEIMIXM/ in TWRP
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] 1emrys1:
The firmware is only included in miui roms. It is not included in AOSP roms. But many aosp roms have issues if you dont have the latest firmware installed.

So now, how do you get the latest firmware? You can't get it from AOSP roms because they dont include it but they expect you to be on the latest one. So the only way to get the latest firmware is to flash the firmware zip in recovery. This zip was extracted from latest miui roms. And if someone is still facing issues then he is recommended to flash fastboot rom using mi flash. This is the cleanest way to ensure that every single thing on your phone gets updated to the latest miui version including firmware, sensors and drivers. After that you can again flash a custom recovery and go on flashing aosp roms.

So flash the firmware zip. Hopefully it fixes all issues. If not, use the lengthy process of fastboot zip.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] aleMarvel:
ok now i undestand, last questions are

i must flash firmware BEFORE rom or AFTER too ?

or after flash firm i must reflash rom too ?

Just flash it, it's not rocket science. I don't it's gonna fix your GPS issues. Do a factory reset if firmware will not resolve issue. If factory reset not change anything then install full MIUI and then LOS again.

I am on 21 June build. Its working well so i am not planning to update anytime soon. Because i have magisk and lots of mods and i cant risk bootloop and having to clean flash.

Anyway for the amazon problem, you need to install magisk,

1. Hide magisk from magisk settings

2. Repackage(change name) magisk from magisk setting

3. Hide root from amazon from magisk hide

The first 2 steps are common for all apps and only need to be done once. The last step needs to be done for whichever app is refusing to work. COD game also force closes if it detects root. And it doesnt even warn user that it is force closing due to root. So we need to hide root from it using the same process.
