@Uluru25 what ROM is the best for willow?

on lineage OS GPS doesnt work
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
I am using LOS18.1 official from Darkjoker360 and never had any GPS issues. Perhaps your issue is rather related to an outdated firmware since GPS should not be controlled by the rom afaik.

How to fix GPS? I will be must come back to miui

i did clean flash and problem still exist

On miui gps works good
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
As already mentioned I never had issues with GPS, thus I have no experience how to fix it. I would try flashing the latest fw and then a clean install of the rom. But starting again from a working MIUI (which will also provide you with an updated firmware) might be a good choice.

Hi everybody.

Faced a problem when using vpn (l2tp ipsec psk). The connection is established, but there is no Internet access.

If private dns is registered, then a message appears that there is no access to private dns.

Gapps, magisk and the quicksilver kernel are installed.

The same connection worked on miui.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

Please confirm the problem.

The camera in horizontal orientation in sunlight of the subject very much lowers the brightness of the screen, and you have to photograph almost blindly. Screen auto-brightness is off.

When you return to vertical orientation, the screen brightness returns to normal.

In electric illumination of the subject with an incandescent lamp, I do not observe this problem.

Can we expect version 19.1 or will our phone stay on version 18.1?

I tested unofficial version 19.1 in the past, but this version got a bug and I changed it to 18.1 and I'm really happy with this version (with other roms, for example android auto maybe more things didn't work, but with Lineage 18.1 everything works fine).

The new version brings some new stuff so I'm just wondering if anyone is working on it or not?

Thank you for your hard work.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
Some guys experienced lagging caused by gapps. So if you have installed a gapps-package (although you didn't describe above) this might be an option worth to check.

Thank you

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Someone4:
You can use Indonesian MIUI, custom dialer or a ROM with AOSP Dialer pre-installed (like LineageOS). Gapps may replace this dialer with Google phone which doesn't contain call recording
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Etrusco54:
Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

Unfortunately, the Redmi Note 8T was not marketed in Indonesia and India so there are no MIUI ROMs for those regions. In my old Redmi Note 7 (which was also sold in India and Indonesia) I installed the Indonesian ROM and the call recording works perfectly.

I would like to install the Mi-Globe, a MIUI ROM with call recording, but I can't; I always go into bootloop.

As soon as I can I will try the Lineage, even if I am not thrilled!

Thanks again and Happy Ferragosto !!

Is dirty flash from official LOS 17.1 to 18.1 with Magisk root possible?

I use TWRP as the recovery and encryption is enabled. I do not use any GAPPS.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
I did not try, but have strong doubts that it will work: even from 18.1 unofficial to 18.1 official a clean flash including formatting of /data was necessary. But if you prepare yourself for a clean flash (i. e. backups) why not trying to dirty flash? If it fails (what I expect) you can still do the clean flashing. Let us know your results!

Hey guys,

Updated 2 days ago and having all sorts of random reboot issues. In the last 2 hours the phone has rebooted 3 times while sitting in front of me doing nothing. Running the latest Aug 29 nightly build (updated via OTA)

The previous version (Aug 22) was working fine with no reboot issues at all.

The previous update (Aug 8) gave the very occasional reboots.

It's an 8 Note, gingko.

Nothing weird or funky installed. Just LineageOS using TWRP, no root, or other.

Maybe it's a hint that the Aug 22 version worked perfect.

Let me know if I can get you more info and thanks for building and supporting us :)

EDIT: As a follow up, this rebooting is getting crazy...

Is it possible to dirty flash back to the previous release without needing to do a clean flash?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:

Great work. Had the 18.1 on F2 Pro without bigger issues. Now done it on Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T and there is a big issue with the mic.

Problem:

Mic is not working with Skype and Signal, but on WhatsApp it does.

Interesting fact:

When i connect a headset through headphone jack and start a conversation, after pluging it out while talking, the inbuild mic works.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MonoPro9:
I'm not sure, but i have some similiar problem. The microphone does not work in apps like Skype or Signal. In Whatsapp it's working. I found some trick how to use the mic in these apps. Plug-in a headset over headphone-jack, start a conversation and plug it out = the inbuilt microphone works again.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pastapesto:
i also have such problems... flashed the newest willow firmware and the newest lineageos. (by the way: without gapps but with magisk installed) tried your solution, but only the mic with speakers on works after unplugging the headphones. the internal mic without speakers on doesn't work. so conclusio: normal phone calls --> only speakers or headphones work... normal calling at the ear doesn't work; whatsapp and signal: nothing works, only with headphones on. (and with your solution, but as i wrote only with speakers on). anybody have other solutions or idea?

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MonoPro9:
Hmm .. Now I'm a bit confused. I can't remember if i flashed the right Stock ROM before LOS. Is the codename "willow" standing for Redmi Note 8 or also for RN8T?

I kept in mind that gingko is the name for RN8T.

Another question would be, before i try to flash it again.. Which Programs are good for backup's? I heard about Titanium backup. In my case I'm searching for an Backup Program, which would contain all apps on the previous system, like Banking Apps (because of authorization).

Thx
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:

Hello to all.

It seems that I have echo cancellation problems with the LineageOS builds. It has to do with the Android xml files propably as with other builds. If someone has a workaround please chime in.

If that doesn't work, my best bet is that we have to load a specific bin/so/xml for activating it on boot, or it isnt at all activated from the devices' source tree. It is device specific as OEMs do modifications always.

Choppy scrolling in all apps

I seriously consider switching back to the official ROM. I went for LOS because MIUI 12+ were choppy with almost zero multitasking capability. Well, scrolling in LOS 18.x is even more choppy. There's some seriously wrong with the ROM. I would like to know whether there's something I could try before switching to stock. Is there? LOS 18 has no power-related options exposed. I already tried disabling MIUI Optimisations to no avail.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Furosemid:
Flash quicksilver kernel! Then the scrolling will be smooth!

... flashing a kernel is rather a 5 min job and not hours. 😁
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] firefoxos:
A successful kernel flash is a 5 minute job ;) Besides, that kernel has no official page. I have already spent more than 5 minutes on searching for it. Or an official ginkgo thread on xda.

Rolling back to MIUI:

Rolling back from LOS 18 to MIUI 12.5 (latest) is a no-brainer. But is it even possible to roll back to an older MIUI, like 11.x? I'm asking because there's the issue of ... Jesus Christ... :/ https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
I was told some months ago that gingko/willow are not affected by anti-rollback-protection (and this is also what the table at the end of your reference tells).
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] firefoxos:
Yeah, but the table is not from 2022, to say the least. Alos, can you enlighten me what's wrong with the kernel fielded by the LOS team? I've got a decade old LG Android phone and it scrolls more smoothly than my 8T on LOS 18.1. My friend picked up my phone once and reacted with a juicy "WTF?!". I also haven't found even a re-pasted description of what that guy quicksilver did to the kernel...
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
Sorry, I am not a pro. Furthermore, I don't have any issues with scrolling but I run LOS18.1 without any gapps (and with stock kernel). Some months ago I flashed a QS kernel for curiosity but did not observe benefits or issues. That's why I stay with stock kernel after flashing each new build. Have you tried to update the firmware (latest global)? Personally I would never return to any MIUI but will soon switch to DarkJoker's CrDroid 9.x (A13) which is announced for next week. Afaik LOS-rules require that the kernel is as close as possible to the stock kernel which might be different for CrDroid. But for sure it is solely up to you to decide what to do with your phone...
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] firefoxos:
I sure did. And there's apparently no method to confirm since there's no easy method to check firmware version.
