Built-in Updater offers the 18. But it is not allowing update.

I did the following:

* Update Magisk to recent 22 out of magisk app.

* Downloaded latest TWRP image.

* Patched it by Magisk

* flashed the patched TWRP with:

dd if=/sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_twrp.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

So I do have latest TWRP and Magisk which seems to me a perfect starting point.

* downloaded latest LOS, boot into revovery and flash by sideload

"adb sideload linage-18.1.xxx.zip"

* wipe cache and dalvik

* reboot

Bad luck, I just to come to that LOS install logo. And I thought I did all right.... :(

Are there any software programs out there, that you are aware of, that will allow me to automate SMS text forwarding?

In other words, I want to set up my Treo 700wx so that any text message that comes in from A will automatically forward it to B, C, D & E (cell recipients and e-mails).

Does such a creature exist?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghoscik:
I have a problem with my Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite. Some time ago I've setup a screen lock with password I can't remember. How can I disable it? USB debugging is off, bootloader is locked, no custom rom/recovery is installed. What I want to achieve is to not lose any data so in this case is there any possibility to copy the data from the device?

Thank you for any support.

The door to any Android device is ADB ( read: Android Debug Bridge ) enabled ( Settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging ). This is the first setting every Android user should make when he starts using an Android device. Doing so then most problems can get solved by user itself. :)

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] sunilstark 1:
I am buying the phone from someone who already has flashed to A11 update (weekly). I want to change it back to stock China ROM. Any ideas how I can do it? (I am a total noobi) so explain in detail please. Thanks so much.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Sathelp:
You can download the latest stock Chinese from mifirm.net and flash it from your twrp recovery. You will need to format data from twrp too. If you don't have twrp recovery installed, you can install a stock Chinese fastboot version but you will need a PC to do this.

I have a guide for flashing on my gdrive here https://drive.google.com/file/d/12BoSJCSSF-nxVKn1NyjlOA2u3PatrC88/view?usp=drivesdk and I think that most items are covered but as you are going from EU to stock, ignore the part about replacing the fastboot.exe file, as the stock from mifirm.net should be ok if you can't do it from twrp.

I hope the doc helps but you can always message me if you need more info or steering the right direction.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11 (R), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

Thank you very very much for this great rom, works very smooth and snappy! :)

My twrp installation got overwritten by LOS-Recovery. It is safe to install TWRP again after installation?

So far I noticed three little bugs:

- Google feed is still missing after installing google search. Maybe this commit is missing: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Trebuchet/+/289553

- I can't grant sms permission to google play services. Which unfortunately prevent the installation of google pay

- Automatic brightness seems to be buggy: Sometimes the brightness level changes automatically to the smallest possible value. It will automatically get increased again after a few seconds.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cvamoose:
1. That Google feed commit hasn't been merged yet

2. Did you install gapps after the first boot? I've seen other people have that problem when they don't flash gapps with the rom. You can factory reset, or do a clean flash again to resolve the issue.

3. I haven't installed it yet so can't help with that one
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] pwn1ca:
Seems to be working for now, I'll keep an eye on that.

Long story short? Look as the official wiki page.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] mlaml:
Sorry, but did you even bother reading my question (completely)?

I've read the official wiki page and it differs from what your first post states (or at least it looks like this to me - there is no explanation given why you crossed the statement out). That's exactly why I asked.

Apart from that, since there seems to be no OpenGapps available for Android 11, I simply won't be able to follow the manual upgrade instructions from the official wiki page and all that's left is wiping the device. Before doing this, I would like to be absolutely sure - maybe some has made the same experience.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] bgcngm:
Yes, I did. That's why I tell you to follow the wiki. You need to re-install Gapps after flashing 18.1.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NoGoodUserNamesLeft:
You can dirty-flash 18.1 + MindTheGapps over 17.1 + OpenGApps.

Originally I had the same concerns as you but this has worked for me and other users.

On 17.1 I was using the OpenGApps nano package since back then it was advised to not use any other package. Not sure what will happen, if you are using another OpenGApps package.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] -=Serzh=-:
Sometimes phone turn on the "always on display". The lift event display function is disabled. Activated when messages arrive. After that, the screen lights up constantly until you unlock the phone again.

I think this happens when a whatsapp message arrives. I think that in this case it happened at 9:45.

Would be really great to have the auto-brightness issue resolved. Under low light conditions brightness is going to zero. Manual changes from that are still not learned.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ApyKac_:
Thanks for team's developments!

I meet decoder failure issues when I use app Parsec, do u have some ways to solve it?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] w520:
Agreed, for me the auto-brightness is the only issue remaining on LOS 18.1 for me, other than that it's near perfection, and for that the @bgcngm definitely deserves our thanks, past few months I have experienced zero issues otherwise, everything works, even GPay :)

If we only can sort out the brightness going to zero in low-light, I believe we have a near-perfection ROM surpassing stock in all aspects. Adaptive brightness just wont learn that I want a bit of brightness in low light conditions instead of none where I can't see anything, if I manually adjust it, it's fine but after I lock and unlock the device it goes way too low again if I am in a low-light condition
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] KopiJahe:
Regarding brightness, I also would like to report that the statusbar brightness control is broken for me, when I swipe to minimal brightness, it suddenly give me the maximum instead...

Like this:

Do I need to open a new issue on gitlab?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] la0pe0Ue:
Thanks for the team! It would be better if it would be possible again to switch off a SIM card. I heard that this would be possible for those devices with OEM support for Android 11, but unfortunately, MIUI ceases to update the major Android version at Q for MIX 2S.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Martin995:
Nope, I'm on exactly the same ROM with magisk and I don't see this in logcat (nothing about cdsp at all). I have mindthegapps instead of NikGApps, I don't know whether it can be related to that.

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] gangstermartorell:

edit:

found the bug. I use OLED-saver. After each restart, this program requests authorization, which, however, has already been granted.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] eriklinsen:
I'm confused, dirty flash normally means that userdata will be kept so apps and configuration from those don't need te be installed again.

But in the first post is is stated to format /system, /data and /cache.

So then things would be lost and everything needs to be installed again.

With dirty flashing /system and /data can't be formatted. So what to to then, only format /cache en then dirty install 18.1 and MindTheGapps and wipe /cache afterwards again?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] NoGoodUserNamesLeft:
Are you coming from official LineageOS 17.1? In that case dirty flashing worked for me and it has kept my apps, settings and data.

Still you should backup all your important stuff before the upgrade.

Regarding formatting: I don't remember anymore what I did precisely, but I'm pretty sure I did not format any partitions. If anything, then I have wiped (not formatted) the "Dalvik / Art Cache" and "Cache" after installation of the ROM and the gapps. But this might not even be required.

Here is the official guide on how to upgrade to a higher version of LineageOS (e.g. lineage-15.1 -> lineage-16.0): https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/polaris/upgrade

There it does not say anything about wiping/formatting.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] eriklinsen:
Thankx for this information. I used ADB Sideload for upgrading to LineageOS 18.1. Afterwards I installed Gapps and cleared Dalvik and Cache. My device booted properly and everything is still there. Looks like everything is working properly.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] cvamoose:
It will brick the phone and need edl flash to recover it. You can only lock the bootloader on stock miui, and even then you need to check if your phone is the global version or chinese version before locking it.

My understanding is, with this enabled, the phone will set a specific screen brightness when the screen is switched on and will not try to re-adjust the brightness anymore.

Is this the workaround for the bad auto brightness control, where the phone will lower the brightness way too much during use?

Do you have TWRP or OrangeFox recovery installed?

If the answer is yes:

Make a backup of your data

Update recovery to the latest version

Boot phone into recovery mode

The command adb root should not be required now

Verify the phone is being recognized be the PC with the command adb devices -l

Activate sideload in recovery

Continue with step 5 from your original link (Run adb sideload...)
