hi .. :D

I followed the first post instructions and other instructions to install this ROM but after rebooting the system my device goes into fastboot mode always !! The ROM that I installed is the latest version April 2021.

how did that happen?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] wuslschweiz:
You forgott reading all the posts above mentioning april version is buggy.

This is the latest working version
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Coffeemi:
You're right, I might miss it, thank you I'll try again next time.. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] OboWan:
I'm still with the 21 April version. The video bug it's fixed when you used earphones by Bluetooth. If this help to fix the problem.

I think this takes time to fixed so, 21 February version is working without any bugs?

Thank you in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mnbpt:
I'm still on the 21 February version and I haven't noticed any video bug. I don't watch a lot of video but I've watched a few on YouTube app, on Firefox and on my cable providers app without any issues.

The only bug I see in this version is when I try to answer calls on my Plantronics Bluetooth headset and there is no audio. And then, if I change the sound to the phone, it takes a couple of seconds for the sound to start working.

But on my Bluetooth earphones calls work perfectly.

Other than that, I see no bugs in the 21 February version. And I have been using it for about a month. I can recommend it without any doubt.

It's a bit strange that this older version is the best one, but it is.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Coffeemi:
Sweet ROm

Thanks @wuslschweiz now i can boot to the ROm :D

long battery life .. maybe because there are no other modification features..but it's good enough for me .. battery charging is very fast and it's real .. i haven't found any bugs at this time everything is normal. # lineage + flamegapps full + magisk 22.1 + one plus launcher nice Rom..hope the new version can be good .. thank you
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] OboWan:
Hi,

Someone has tried to flash the last release with new TWRP 3.5.2_9-2? Maybe it works.

Anyway, if there is an upcoming update by OTA I would love to know because I have to change 21 april version because of the video bugs and I don´t want to reinstall all my apps.

Thank you in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Coffeemi:
I'm using this TWRP v.3.5.9.2 by linkboi ..this TWRP work for other Rom too..

For OTA update i'm never use it .. sorry can't answer that..
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rootsdroid:
No news after some days... : (

Rebooting a lot to fix temporally video issues
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
It is very much possible as it isn't really maintained anymore by LineageOS. Not much I can do about it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
I don't really know what error 70 is. I always recommend OpenGapps, I know they are only in beta now for R, but they sork flawlessly and survive OTAs. Try the stock varient.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rootsdroid:
I used the OpenGapps pico beta and works flawlessly https://sourceforge.net/projects/op.../open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20210130-TEST.zip
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] srepole:
Error 70 in twrp means you haven' t enough space available in system partition to flash the gapps package you picked up.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rootsdroid:
@reujea0 Can't pair my car with A2 Lite because bluetooth doesn't work for me. If I push "search for devices" in bluetooth menu, then bluetooth is disabled (the notification bar icon is disabled too).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ema97:
Will be necessary to do a cleanflash in the next build (if coming from this one), or not? Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] c3497605:
Hi, I have a phone which is stuck at V11.0.5.0 official ROM update. Can I jump right into this ROM or should I find a way to upgrade to latest official version first?

BTW looking forward to microg builds
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rootsdroid:
Anybody has issues pairing bluetooth devices? Or activating bluetooth? Please tell me.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mustaphakosar:
Yeap, me too. Also wfd is not working for me.

But actually, I don't use them for now. Just stating the bugs.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
No, it shouldn't
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
No, you should be fine no matter your version
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rootsdroid:
@reujea0 so there is a temporal fix for bluetooth pairing? Or we have to wait for next build? Can I give you some info from my phone about the bug to fix it?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] c3497605:
Just crossed my mind. Does is it have to be separate build? Wouldn't enabling signature spoofing be enough? Or you prefer not?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
It would be, but official LineageOS builds have it disabled for "security reasons" so if there's any hope of this becoming official, that's not possible. The seperate build for LOS17.1 had only signature spoofing enabled at first, but microG and F-Droid were added afterwards, which I think is what's included in the LineageOS for microG project as well. So we'll see what happens.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] c3497605:
Oh sure I know the LOS devs are opposed to it. I was just thinking that single build would the decrease maintenance burden for the time being. Assuming things like microg installation and fdroid privileged extension survive OTA update! If it was ever to be released official then microg enabled builds would only be available at lineage.microg.org
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] c3497605:
I think the ROM installation replaced TWRP with LOS own recovery
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] c3497605:
I need some assistance installing Magisk on this ROM (I need it for F-Droid Privileged Extension). I followed official procedure but I don't know how to obtain valid copy of boot image for patching through Magisk Manager. I tried boot.img from official ROM but after I flashed patched image device no longer boots. Perhaps I need to use one from lineage-18.1-20210204-UNOFFICIAL-daisy.zip instead but inside this archive there is only single payload.bin file and I don't know how to extract from it. Any tips?

Edit: Okay I managed to extract boot.img with extract_android_ota_payload.py and after patching and flash it works now!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
You don't need Magisk for the F-Droid privileged extension as it can be installed to your system. Should you choose to install Magisk, you should do it through TWRP and the OTA update zip.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] monojp:
I'm using this ROM since yesterday and so far I noticed

- Bluetooth cannot be activated as noted by others already, relevant adb logs https://gist.github.com/monojp/8fa1d92eb2828e0d327a0ee8258a0e5c

- The device says it's encrypted but it can't be as it's not asking for a password on boot and I never enabled encryption?

- As with all other ROMs I ever tried for this device - in speaker mode it seems to be turning the mic volume down when using apps like Conversations or Jitsi Meet until others cannot hear me any more. I would really like to get to the bottom of that problem..
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] c3497605:
Have you tried? The usual install method doesn't work and f-droid devs recommend using Magisk

I did it by patching boot.img and flashing with fastboot as per documented see the link above.

It's encrypted by default with default password. You change it by setting Screen lock.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mnlsc:
Some people here really need to curb their entitlement mentality. The dev is doing this for free, in his spare time.

He literally doesn't have to do this at all if he doesn't feel like it. Just wait or switch to a different rom in the meantime.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jamaladdini:
Hi everyone

I was trying from yesterday to install the last release but I couldn't install it. At last I try the February release and it works like a charm. Everything works alreasdy until now.but I have a problem in network selection.

When I try to select network manually, unfortunatly it can't be set. Can somebody test it and say the result?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] t123321:
The developer has no obligation to do anything. But since so many people are waiting, it would be nice to say something about what to expect or not. Dont get me wrong, I know he doesnt have to do that just that it would be nice.

Switching to a different rom, you surely know, means set up your phone from start. Since lineage 18.1 was such a good rom many if us, I believe, could wait 2,3 weeks.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rootsdroid:
Anyway, we know all that. The ROM is great, and it is a very good work from developer. We need only some news about ROM issues, nothing any more. No ETAs, no pressure.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Singman33:
Hi,

- Can you list the problem introduced with April ROM ? That will help the debuging.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rootsdroid:
You can read it on the previous pages.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Singman33:
Brillant answer. Ok, so only video playing is broken. No problem with sound, BT, and so on...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rootsdroid:
Sorry, i don't read that you ask for a list. I have some sound issues long time ago, on all previous builds.

-Sound is shortly broken when minimizing/putting on background YouTube/Spotify...

-Outcoming call doesn't start over BT on my car OEM audio system (using audio systems screen/steering buttons), if phone screen is off and locked. I have to push A2 lite power button and then automatically call process continues.

-Video broken issue not appear over BT for me (last build).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] marcelmi:
I installed the ROM on my phone yesterday. The latest version

lineage-18.1-20210427-UNOFFICIAL-daisy.zip failed to boot (bootloop).

The previous two releases (20210221, 20210421) boot and look fine at first look. However, I was not able to connect to my wifi (which works of course fine with the stock ROM and other wifi devices, the wifi uses WPA2+3), which unfortunately renders both ROMs useless for me. I am puzzled that I am the only one with this problem. Or is there a trick to get wifi working?

I tried with a fresh stock ROM (latest version available) before flashing lineage.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Amarok19:
Two days ago I spent a ridiculous amount of time installing this ROM on my Mi A2 Lite, but it was totally worth it in the end, so I'll begin with a big THANK YOU to @reujea0 for the ROM itself and to @LinkBoi for the reco that made it possible to flash it.

So I had the same problem as @marcelmi - a bootloop between dastboot and Android One logo on the latest build. After reading the entire thread I decided to load the February build and it works flawlessly.

I'd love to give back to the communty so I wonder: is there a way to somehow investigate why the latest build won't boot and get some juicy logs for you guys?

Also I experienced some very minor bugs, some of which come up in this thread: no viewfinder preview in Google Lens, inability to switch camera HAL mode... And I feel like @Singman33 's idea to list them is a good direction - why don't we track bugs in GitHub?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DickyBosch:
Hello, I have tried the official flash description and the one above, but unfortunately I keep on booting back into Fastboot. Any suggestioins?

PS. What do you mean by "wipe everything". I presume not system, because I tried that to but to no avail.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jamaladdini:
If you flash the latest update, it's buggy(bootloop). Try previous version...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DickyBosch:
I will give it a try. Thanks for the tip.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] DickyBosch:
PS. Where can I download a previous version?

After a few days, no more reboots needed to solve video issues... it is very strange.... maybe new Magisk version (23.0)?

But audio glitches when minimizing audio related apps, and my personal calling issue over BT in my OEM car audio aren't gone yet.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sergej_7:
i can confirm, after updating magisk, whatsapp videos play again
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
New OTA should be available today. Rom is finally stable and working. Updated to May's security patch and fixed power-off alarm.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
Sorry, for leaving the rom broken and being away for so long. I had important deadlines at school and could no work on this rom. Sorry, from now on things should be much smoother, probably microg build coming in the next month.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
Get the newest ota, make sure the rom's file indicates it was built in may(05)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
No, new one should be out today
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
I tried removing the links and so on poiting to the broken version, Either install (dirty flash) the rom manually or it should either show up as an ota this or next month.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
Sorry
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
First I appreciate the more knowledgeable users who were here to advice everyone else. Second, some of you have guessed or seen that all the rom's releases were here https://github.com/a-huk/otaserver/releases . While I appreciate your detective work, don't go downloading any random files. Whenever there is a new WORKIGN update, meant for you folks, I always drop a message here immediately, update the link and make it available via OTA. So use the channels I provide you with, I cannot prevent you from downloading it directly, but then don't complain when you download it without you have been told to do so. If you want to keep up do date on what is going on/what I work on and what features might come next look rather here https://github.com/a-huk/device_xiaomi_daisy/commits/lineage-18.1 and wait for the greenlight before downloading.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
Again, sorry to have released a bugged version and gonne away. Thanks to everyone who uses the rom, the kind messages and the helpful commentors.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rootsdroid:
Thanks a lot for your work!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rootsdroid:
I have to do something to avoid a bootloop or any boot trouble or lose my data with the new May OTA? I'm booting now from Slot B, this is normal or a problem?

From the moment, I like to avoid clean flash and go with OTA to save some time now.

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
New OTA is out, link is updated in the OP thread. Read the following post for more information on how to update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
If I remember correctly. I published a February version, then an April one. After that I published another April version, which was broken and gave bootloops. Normally, the February version will get you via OTA to the WORKING April version, which should get you via OTA to the newest and fully working/up-to-date version I just released.

If by any chance you cannot get the OTA or need/want to flash it yourself, use the link in the OP thread. Then do a dirty flash of the rom via TWRP. By dirty flash I mean, don't erase/wipe anything just go to install and flash the version you just downloaded.

Normally, there should be no issues, everyone should be able to get the latest version via OTA. Let me know if you are having issues or anything else.

EDIT: The February version will get you via OTA directly to the latest May version, which is fully working.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nikolai7:
I had feb version and it said there was 21 apr update. I installed it and bootlooped for about 20 mins... Finally, it rebooted to recovery by itself and said that is corrupted, try again or format. I chose format and finally booted to 21 apr... Now Im updating to the may one, but I lost my data...

Edit: it updated ok, and i installed the latest nikgapps core, but the syncronization with phone contacts, drive and calendar doesnt work. oddly enough, it works for gmail and chrome. by not working i mean that i connect my gmail account but each app says there is nothign there.

Im gonna proceed to clean install everything...

Edit2: I confirm that the problem is nikgapps latest version (NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210514-signed). I clean installed everything but had the same problem. Then I tried to installt he previous version I used of nikgapps and it works correctly (NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210124-signed).

Edit3: The phone app doesnt work correctly with nikgapps in either version from edit2. Neither the one from lineage or the google one. You can call but the call screen doesnt show up, so you cant hang up and stuff. I will try to install opengapps test...

Edit4: The last version of opengapps test seem to work correctly with the phone and everything else. I havent fully tested, just the basics.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jamaladdini:
I was in February realese and update it today through ota. Now I have two problem in 21 April version:

1- there is a serious problem in audio playing in all of system and apps and cause to reboot when execute some of applications. For example I have no sound in audio player. Video player has the same problem.

2-when I check for new update, the install option is there always.

Did I miss something in installation procedure through ota?

Sorry for weak English.I hope the problems be clear.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mnbpt:
My suggestion is:

Install February version with Opengapps test for Android 11;

Then update directly to May version by downloading it and installing it using TWRP instead of OTA.

Hope that works.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
Ok, so I now made the necessary changes, so normally, now from the february version, the OTA should guide you directly to the May version
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
I cannot test all gapps and don't support them per say, but I recommended opengapps from the start. Glad you find them
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
Yes, the version you updated to has video/audio playback issues. But I think that the OTA updater should bring you to latest may version. Try to hold down a few seconds the update, delete it and check again. If that doesn't work dirty flash the may udpate manually
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nikolai7:
I know, but when you made the first post, the posts about opengapps tests werent very convincing, thats why I went with other gapps. Luckily they released another version a few days ago, but until then there was only the january version.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] schnitzel1977:
i do a dirtyflash, from feb to may via twrp; thats works for me (=

alot of thx to @reujea0 ..first view is fine (=
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
OTA update from "lineage-18.1-20210421-UNOFFICIAL-daisy" to the last one "lineage-18.1-20210524-UNOFFICIAL-daisy" works fine.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dMfU360:
Your continued work on this ROM is much appreciated! Thank you. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sergej_7:
i have found many instructions for dirty flashing updates on mi a2 lite but i'm not sure which process is the latest one. Currently I have installed the broken build from april, open_gapps-arm64-11.0-micro-20210130-TEST.zip, magisk latest and twrp-3.5.2_9-2-daisy-unofficial.img.

i have downloaded the latest rom zip and want to follow the steps according to the section "DIRTY FLASHING / MANUALLY INSTALLING A NEW BUILD" in this post:

1. Reboot to Recovery

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash TWRP

4. Change Slot

5. Reboot to Recovery

6. Flash Open GApps

7. Flash Magisk

8. Reboot

Can somebody confirm that this is the right order?

Also I have read that there is some magisk module which can help making seamless updates according to the section "SEAMLESS UPDATES" in this post. Is that module / procedure still needed nowadays?

Will GApps, Magisk and TWRP survive the update process if I use built-in OTA?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
YOu mean the build that has not working video or the one that boots to fastboot? But either way this should be fine, maybe flash twrp once you booted in the rom and it works.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sergej_7:
i mean the build which has not working video, thanks for your work and the quick reply :) will give it a shot now
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
But you should try with ota first, would be better. Just mkae sure the file it will download is the may one
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sergej_7:
i only have 500 mb of space left thats why i'm using manual flashing instructions. if i format an sd card as internal storage will the ota updater work with the sd card formatted as internal storage without problems?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
I assume yes
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] monojp:
I too can confirm that the new build seems to be working fine, thx!

Fyi cleaning storage of the updater app might help if it does not show up.

The already reported echo/mic volume problems when in speaker mode are still there but this fix was out of scope I guess. And as already mentioned apparently all ROMs suffer from that. The commits made me just hope that it might have been fixed on the side too :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Coffeemi:
I also confirmed that the latest update is working well ..

but i found two internal partition while in TWRP linkboi is it normal or need more repair!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
That is normal, some times this happens with android phones when connected to windows. Nothing to worry about
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Coffeemi:
thank ..

now I'm setting up configs for stock opengapps but i can't go to the main screen and i get a notification "setting up android"

it turns out it's a bit difficult to set opengapps configs :D

is flame gapps compatible to be installed on this LIneage OS!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reujea0:
Try restarting your phone, giging gapps permisssions or reflashing another version of opengapps, like try pico macro or soemthing else
