This ROM required Miui12/A10 firmware?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] OldKnight:
The call screen of the dialer application does not work.

The screen simply does not appear when receiving or making calls.

I installed the F-Droid's Simple Dialer as a workaround.

I would be very grateful for a solution.

Does the Chinese version of Redmi Note 8 have fast charging after flashing?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheBrilliant:
Fast charging does not work on Chinese devices. (I try)

This is a common problem with all Android 11 custom ROMs.

Maybe this is a kernel problem, and flashing another kernel could fix it.

how to root ?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] otto81709:
deep sleep its not working, i lost 22% last night
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] halletienne:
Already tried. It still reboots randomly with the same error (kernel panic generated by a fatal error on modem).

I flash it by doing an adb sideload fw_ginkgo_miui_GINKGOGlobal_V12.5.2.0.RCOMIXM_75abe1782e_11.0.zip in recovery. Is there another method ?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
I never flashed the (modem) firmware else than directly in TWRP.

edit:

1. Try via adb sideloading as proposed by yourself.

2. I have found this tutorial, which might guide you for flashing via fastboot (looks more complicated but to let you know).

I understood that you have to unzip your firmware file and then have to manually - step by step and in the given order - flash all those files which are available in the unzipped firmware.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ihfandicahyo:
Same with me with format data or not. But, now i install rom again coming from LineageOS-20, then didnt facing random reboot
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] halletienne:
I am giving up this ROM. Tried all flashing methods but nothing changed. It was my last try, and again, as soon as i was in a place with bad reception reboot started to happen. And I also noticed a bad bug linked to NFC : it is always trying to start a service linked to NFC. I disabled it in /vendor/etc/init.d/, by commenting the right services.

By curiosity @vyvy , which ROM do you now use ?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ihfandicahyo:
Specifically, i don't understand this problem not happening again. So, for now i'm still using the official version of LineageOS-18, maybe until someone makes version 20 with tree Arrow but clean, for example not including KCAL (because LineageOS has Live Display) and other unnecessary additions with sign-key release- keys.

Tree Arrow is the breath of every ROM in Ginkgo for now, although to pushing officially it's quite difficult. It's not a problem for me (if there a Unofficial 20), because i'm not suited to ROMs that have lots of features. Even though there is ArrowOS or PE, i don't like either of them. Staying here is the best choice in my opinion, but a person can choose what is best for himselme 👍

O, ya. Don't give me LineageOS-20 by Agatha, this ROM for my device have a random cut charger. Maybe it's break from LineageOS-health with some/similiar implementation.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Lord Raiden:
Yes, I have the same. Why developers didn't fix it? :D

My ginkgo is Global variant.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NevC:
Is your phone rooted? I had problems with Bluetooth because of rooting. You have to install/flash things in the right order.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Lord Raiden:
Yes, I have root. I solved this by clean flashing ROM within Lineage's Recovery.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NevC:
Glad to see you got it back.

I had the following written down for this problem (which might occur again because with every update the phone is unrooted again, and if I were to simply re-install Magisk, Bluetooth would stop functioning again):

Maybe this can be of use to someone in the future.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jeremyroot:
I just flashed lineage-18.1-20231209-nightly-ginkgo-signed.zip and it only boots back to TWRP (recovery) never to the ROM.

It also seemed too fast to flash but no errors. I don't think it flashed any OS. There is not enough dialogue printed.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] instamatic:
For those with the Bluetooth issue, there is a Github issue linked at the end of a Lineage thread: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/5382.

The issue (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/6389#issuecomment-1475424211) provides more explanation and links to a related Magisk issue (https://github.com/TeamWin/android_bootable_recovery/issues/332#issuecomment-1818839953) with a fix for Bluetooth which does not involve wiping data and reinstalling rom. Can confirm it worked perfectly, didn't even need to reboot.

What recovery version do i need to use this ROM? i tried TWRP and it doesn't boot, it sends me to recovery after reboot, tried OrangeFox too, was the only recovery that made ROM boot but after rebooting again to OrangeFox, i get an error that can't read data and sends me again to recovery after rebooting unless i do an factory reset
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chuy19312:
Thank you, but for some reason, i tried to flash the ROM with it but it didn't boot, could it be the ROM security patch or something?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
... no idea w/o more details:

depending from the current setup, you may need a clean install, with FORMATTING (!) - not only wiping - /data. Then having the correct firmware (latest available) flashed may cause problems. Furthermore check if the downloaded recovery and rom aren't corrupted by comparing their hashes.

Good luck!

🤠
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chuy19312:
Thank you for your answers

Strangely, i did have the most recent Miui Firmware version (Miui 12.5) for my device, any android 12-14 ROM do work correctly and i do always do an formatting (data, internal storage, cache and others), on OrangeFox recovery, this ROM do boot correctly after wipes and installing ROM but after going back to recovery, it says it doesn't have permissions to all data folders and when i do reboot, it boots again to recovery or fastboot mode, and i need to do an factory reset to make it boot again, i think i can try to flash the TWRP version you said before after booting the ROM to check if it works.

Edit: it perfectly worked, did wipe on OrangeFox, installed LineageOS for MicroG (was the same result on normal and MicroG versions), booted the ROM then installed TWRP on Fastboot, now it works without any problem

Edit 2: Is there an way to disable USB debugging activating again on every reboot? i hate it.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
... regarding edit 2:

Sure! You can disable USB debugging exactly where you initially activated it 😁

<settings> / <system> / <developer settings> / <debugging>
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] chuy19312:
The only problem is that it enables again after rebooting, i did investigate it on few sites, apparently, this needs to be patched by ROM developer, especially since disabling it from prop files doesn't work and it's LOS 18.1 specific issue.

Edit: i think i found the fix here, ROM developer should see this

Hello everyone!

I used this os for 2 years and I am pretty happy with it, zero problems all the time. Considering it is now unsupported, do you suggest to switch to the crDroid version from the same mantainer?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gentano:
I personally do.

Ive been a heavy fan boy of Lineage over the years, but since my 1st try of cRDroid I changed my opinion. It is very slim like Lineage but has some extra custom settings and features to configure the OS to my own likes and needs. There are a lot of settings for the statusbar, navigation bar, battery etc. There is built in face unlock and many more.

I recommend to try it out (keep backup of Lineage in case You dont like crDroid or have problems with it.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] userginkgo:
Thanks, probably I'll try the new os once figured out how to safely make the transition. I hope to not break a perfectly working device :P
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
... if you want to use migration tools like Migrate NG, NeoBackup or Swift Backup etc. have it tested on both roms beforehand (if you have a spare phone).

I had to learn that my previous tool was not working with Android 14.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bnesic:
I don't think there is any need to change the ROM. Just change the kernel to CRYO and everything will work much better :)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] userginkgo:
When you talk about kernel by chance you mean firmware?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] bnesic:

Can I dirty flash it over LOS 17.1?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] general.nie7:
Depends on how much you care about security. Official builds are verified and hosted by a big and trustworthy project, while with unofficial builds it all comes to a trust you give to a signle developer - that he didn't make any mistakes, wasn't hacked etc.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] denisovich:
Official 18.1 would be very much appreciated.

Not because 18.1 is radically different and better than 17.1, but because everything has moved on.

If you can be an official 17.1 dev and an unoffical 18.1 dev, there is no reason you cannot be an offical 18.1 dev.

Jumping ship is for swabs, varlets and the profane. Real men stay the course.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Jacobo666:
Be your brave and make the official rom, it is very easy to give advice and do anything.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] x3r0.13urn:
Relax. If he wants to, he will. Don't you know how many rules need to be complied so a device can be in official Lineage build? If you haven't so, here, read again, slowly and carefully. If I were him, I'd only support one, either just 17.1 or just 18.1, but not both.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] denisovich:
Thanks for the advice guys.

The dev is a;ready an official dev for 17.1. And many of the 17.1 devs have moved on to 18.1, and left 17.1 behind. Both my other two devices have followed this pattern and it is by no means the exception.

So there is no actual problem here at all. And all I was doing was offering gentle encouragement to do what the vast majority of other 17.1 devs have already done, or are about to do.

You know, apart from a few notification things and minor /data layout tweaks, there is no real difference between 17.1 and 18.1.

My other devices - Samsung Tab s5e, Oneplus 5T.

LineageOS Downloads

You can clearly see that they just moved seamlessly from 17.1 to 18.1 without breaking a sweat.

And as regards the point about me becoming a dev for 18.1, well that will not be possible while 17.1 is still supported. And as regards the point about the current dev having to support both 17.1 and 18.1, nobody is doing this, and nor are they expected to.

But by all means continue to offer disparaging comments dressed as advice.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] denisovich:
Not sure if your statement there is entirely correct.

My front cam works fine with both Zoom and trCam on LOS 17.1. Not sure if the LOS cam app works or not as I never use it, given that trCam is so nice.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AA0_o:
Thanks.

The app crashes when I switch to the front camera.

Since the firmware is updated I'd better install the vendor ROM and check if the front camera works there.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Elinx:
Xiaomi changed the frontcam sensor with 11-2020 batch.

It is now OV13B10 (Omnivision). The old one is OV13855.

Android 10 rom's doesn't connect to this new camera.

LOS 17.1 can't this too,

Because I found that some A11 rom's does work with OV13B10 , I think LOS 18.1 will do too.

Hi to everyone,

Thank you for your work @DarkJoker360 !

How to flash upgrade onto your previous 18.1 unofficial Lineage OS?

Presently, twrp doesn't allow me to decrypt...

My phone's protected with password. I know it but I don't know how to force twrp to ask it since I've installed your Lineage a few days ago. Is there a solution for this. I've formatted data before installing this ROM, and before I had your official 17.1 Lineage OS one.

Is it advsable to only format data after flashing the ROM?

Thanks for any input on this.

This is not only a problem with the 11-2020 batch. I bought my Willow in 04-2020 and the camera doesn't work on LOS 17.1. Multiple other users also reported this bug in the LOS 17.1 thread much earlier. My camera is called "ov13855_sunny_ii_ginko" (I have willow/ Note 8T bought from huge EU store).

In supported cameras HWinfo lists: ov13855_ofilm_i_ginko and ov13855_sunny_ii_ginko. So it seems like only the first one of those works on LOS 17.1, the second and your ov13b10 don't. (or the output on the HWinfo app is wrong and I have a different sensor?)

Also, which Firmware should I install on Willow (Note 8T)? And does the front camera work guys? (If it didn't work for you in 17.1)?
