I've been waiting for a security patch for a while, but I think that was it for LOS 16. Had some blind hopes since we got updates after the official end. I'll be checking for updates for a while and if such appear, will update the build.

Update - to my surprise we got security and other updates!
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Fasic:
Hmmm i tested this one, for now i found just one problem, if you unlock phone with pin, home button is "fingerprinet sensor" and not home button until you put finger.

And i got problem on install, i couldn't use OpenGApps aroma version (there was 2 problems, it asked for android 7 version, and then asked for arm not arm64 version, and any of this didn't work), othere openGApps versions worked. After install i have problem, banking app doesn't work (tested on othere phone, it works), so probably something from google is missing, if i don't find what i will must go on PE ROM. On install i used pico GApps (i really dont wan't googles bloatware), i will try with FULL version of GApps tonight, if it doesn't work i will must go on othere ROM-s.

But it is "ok" ROM, for now.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
We got the July security updates today. I'll do another release tomorrow (done, forgot to update this post).

Using 3 banking apps, haven't had problems so far. About GAPPS, I've followed the official links and got the Nano version.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
Hey guys, are you still using LOS 16 on your Mi 5s phones? Is there still need for up to date builds? I'm asking this because if it turns out no one's using this LOS version, then there's no need for newer builds. Like or reply if you want to continue receiving updates. I can also make custom builds with custom software installed, as per your liking. AdAway built in for example.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] warden spy:
Yes, I am using. I installed lineageos 18.1 but it's graphical performance wasn't as good as 16.0, animation looked like stuttering it was awkward. So I installed your ROM. I preper vanilla lineageos 16.0 over prebuilt packages included.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ukiz:
Yes, I am using it, super stable and smooth. And everything works! Thanks for your work, it would be great to have monthly builds!
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mind_pt:
Tell me about SOT?

The LOS18 is a mess for this phone and the LOS17, is bad too? Is only for use a lastest version of Android.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ukiz:
I cannot say much about the SOT as my phone has a really bad battery, but the rom works just as well as the official one did.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mind_pt:
Thanks for your reply. But you don't convence me, to use the same android version I prefer use the MIUI.eu version.

Any other ROM
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] EpicSauce:
Thanks for the updates. My Mi5s is going strong, battery life as good as ever. I run battery charge limit and charge to 80%, recharge from 40%. Get plenty enough use during the day and it's very quick to charge when needed.

Coming up to 5 years, of use, it's the longest I've used the same phone. With everything working well including my banking apps it does what I need!

While it would be good to have a later android version, 16 works well on this device - appreciate your time to keep it updated.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
I appreciate your feedback! My Mi 5s is also the only phone I've ever used for that long. And yes, Android 9 is getting old, but it will run for an year or two more. And by that time our phones will probably have some hardware defects forcing us to move to something newer.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] frank7d:
I am also still using the mi5s, I am on the last official 16.0. I appreciate your effort and will install an update now.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
I've compiled the next build with the latest security patches. Uploading later today.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] frank7d:
I tried to install your latest build.

I got a boot loop. After a couple of seconds the mi symbol again and again.. Then also installed the latest los 16 from january, to no avail.

Fortunately I managed to restore from backup, on the second try.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
What was the previous rom you used? Have you had such issues with previous builds, if coming from LOS16?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] frank7d:
I am on official los16. (Updated from los15 in 2019) Regularly updated via its updater until January 2021. Magisk 23.0
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
I've had somewhat similar cases in the past where I've updated the rom and it loads and loads endlessly (no bootloop though). What helped me out in those scenarios, was to install the rom again from TWRP. Have you also tried to get the latest TWRP (3.5.2), if not already on it?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] frank7d:
I updated twrp to 3.5.2 recently.

Then I will try to install again, this time your build from yesterday.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] frank7d:
Just installed build 20211017.

Flashed two times, same behaviour as before. Does not boot to system.

After installing, after "updating partition table" it shows: "unable to mount storage"

So I have restored from backup again. (Official los16 202101xx)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
This doesn't sound good at all. I'd do a backup with Migrate, which copies not the partition, but the apks with all their files (cache, etc.).

Then I'd format the storage, making sure all files are backed up - DCIM, Downloads, anything else you might have. And then install LOS using sideload.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] anAndroidUsername:
I've just switched from the "old 16.0 official" that didn't have any security patch for ... a while now. And I've just installed this build that brings all the most recent patches. It works like a charm.

Thanks @unicastbg !
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] anAndroidUsername:
After two days of usage, no problem in sight.

The only thing is that various applications (at least 3 of my apps) are now warning me that my phone is rooted . Even if I didn't installed any SuperSU or any app alike. I've quickly tested in a terminal, and everything looked "normal", no "root access" in sight :)

After a little google research it may be due to test keys being used to sign the apps and image. I'm absolutely not sure about what I say.

Does anyone else have this behavior ?

Any idea @unicastbg ?

Thanks in advance !
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
Test keys are indeed used to sign this image. I was trying to restart the official LOS support, but it's a bit too complicated for me :)

I've only seen Trust complaining about test keys. And there's an off switch for that check.

However I've only used my phone as rooted, can't compare it to an unrooted one.

Can you give an example of such an app that complains the phone is rooted?

Do you, by any chance see Magisk installed, even if not used?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aalpguzel:
I have also the same issue. These apps have problems:

Netflix (no 1080p), finansbank.enpara (Banking app, just shows a warning), com.belbim.istanbulkart (public transport payment app, shows a warning and terminates the app), com.tmob.AveaOIM (GSM provider app, just a warning), com.ziraat.ziraatmobil (Banking app, just a warning)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
So just to make sure - you don't have Magisk installed, right?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aalpguzel:
Yes, no Magisk. I will try installing it now, maybe Magisk Hide can solve the problem.

Edit: Apps still don't work with Magisk Hide.

Edit2: After reboot, Magisk Hide started to work. I can use the problematic apps now.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] archipepe:
Hello!

I've also been trying to build an "updated" version of this ROM because I think it's the most stable for the Mi 5S.

After a few days struggling, I finally got it. In my case, I signed the installation package so my experience right now is as if I were using an official signed version: no Magisk and Netflix and my banking app don't complain.

Instead of running "brunch capricorn", I switched to the instructions provided in https://wiki.lineageos.org/signing_builds and followed "Generating the keys" (which has to be done only once) and "Generating an install package".

I can share my signed installation package if you want, but I think I won't be able to update it every month. From the documentation, I think that un update package must be signed with the same keys in order for the updates to work, so we have to stick with one signed package. My package includes the 5 Nov 2021 security patch.

Maybe @unicastbg can start singing the packages, I think it's worth it since we don't have to depend on Magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
Hi, I'll definitely look into this. I have to clean up the repository soon so probably it's good time to start from scratch.

How did you manage to find the vendor specific files? Exporting them from the phone gave me a lot of troubles and took me some time to get it fixed.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] archipepe:
I got them from my phone. My previous ROM was "lineage-16.0-20210210-nightly-capricorn-signed" (the last official one, right?) and my firmware version, "fw_capricorn_miui_MI5S_V11.0.2.0.OAGCNXM_6ce204eb2c_8.0" (I think the latest as well).

I've built this ROM in Ubuntu 20.04.3 but had to face some issues:

Apart from the packages listed, I had to install "python", too.

Extracting the vendor files from my Linux machine was a very straightforward process, but then, since it has only 4 GB of RAM, the compilation failed because it ran out of memory. Alternatively, my Windows machine has 16 GB of RAM but very little free space, so I had to export the vhd of the Windows Subsystem for Linux to an external drive. I had to start the adb server on the Windows side and listen to it form the Linux side (thanks to this post https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60166965/adb-device-list-empty-using-wsl2). In both cases, only one file was missing: /vendor/etc/lm/ReferenceFeature.xml, which I found in a GitHub repository. After that, "breakfast capricorn", the subsequent compilation and the signing process could complete.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
I also started from a similar setup, a VM. Had the same troubles with adb and same failures due to 4GB of RAM. So I gave up and started using another machine with Ubuntu and 32GB of RAM.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] unicastbg:
Ok, I've done the build from 11.11 with new keys, as per @archipepe advise.

I've already installed it on my phone. No problem switching between the unofficial keys and the new signing.

Still, would love to hear from you if all works ok.

I've uploaded it to mega.nz only as it's a test. You can find it by its generic name - signed-ota_update.zip.
[General Questions and Answers] CikaMare:
Okay so I feel very nervous about this because I thought I solved the problem once and for all. Here's the story, my Wiko View Prime didn't want to charge maybe 4 months ago and I changed about 20 different cables and chargers until I finally replaced the whole charging board that I waited 2 months for to arrive from Aliexpress then after 2 months the problem occurs again, I updated the system via the official wiko site and the same problem occurs. On the ampere application it shows a voltage of 4.2 volts until it charges when I put the charger it can be seen that it charges in a second and immediately stops I think the voltage is a problem I'm not sure so I wanted to ask if it can somehow overcome the voltage sensor and how ? I know this was a problem with the Samsung Galaxy s2 but it had a message on it, nothing comes out here on my phone. If someone thinks that the reason for this problem is others, let them write and if they know how to solve the problem. Thanks in advance and I apologize for my English

[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
If you're using the default wall charger ( the thing that plugs into the wall ) that came with your phone - what always is recommended - then it sounds like the power nub is going bad, Android devices refuse to charge from "dirty power" sources so get a new power nub.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] ak800i:
I haven't exactly measured the battery life on Android 11 but it seems noticeable worse than it was on Android 10. What are your experiences? Is there a well measured comparison?
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] ban.codrut:
I get more or less the same idle %/h drain that I had in A10 (around 0.8%/h) which is fine overall.

That said I had to disable some built-in bloatware that came with the new OneUI, nothing major just apps like AppCloud and AR Emoji/Stickers.

I do havely rely on the auto battery optimization where it adds unused apps to limiter background usage or even directly disables them. (I just maintain the whitelist of "never sleeping apps" and let it do the rest)

Hi Guys,

1st let me stress something: lots of ppl here are doing a great job & a lot of work. Thanks to all of them!!

I have TWO suggestions to make the threads (e.g. the new udK release one) more usable:

1)

After Problems come up, the initial poster (udK!!!) of the new ROM could append a list of known (i.e. confirmed by him) problems in a list in the initial 1st post;

(udK already confirmed some problems in the Syrius R0 thread, but no one is gonna find/read it after some time)

So that would save TONS of posts from ppl not reading the entire thread (which becomes quite impossible after a while).

2)

We could think about an extra THANK-YOU thread. This would keep the original one more readable and still leave room for credits to the poster.

What do you think?

Dear,

I need to have TWRP for rooting my OP9Pro but it is of course not available for the OP9Pro since it is brand new. Since i am experienced with flashing TWRP on OnePlus phones i already now that TWRP officialy doesn't support the latest phones of OnePlus so i know that the TWRP's used for that are from Mauronofrio and others. But does anyone know how long it would take till someone has developed a reliable version of TWRP for it and maybe also how long it would take till MSMDownloadtool become available for us?

[General Questions and Answers] EEngineer:
Having a bad day today. Recently got word a family member passed. I need to call some people, text (not call) others, and review my call, SMS, and caller ID history for last contact info.

The problem is I have Lineage OS 14.1 (Nougat) on my LG G5 and it keeps automatically dialing numbers when I just click on someone's name, or contact info, etc. when I don't want it to!!! With family issues it's making things very uncomfortable, even when I hang up the call right away. In the past app behavior used to have common sense labels like "call number". Now, depending on the app or screen, clicking on a photo or name can sometimes open more info like history, or the horror of quickly calling a number I do not want to call, and it's made today very very uncomfortable.

I need an app, or hack, to only load the phone number into my dialer and never autodial until I manually press the CALL button in the dialer. This includes contacts, SMS app, caller ID app, everything. Yes it's an extra step but I really need this. Thank you.

EDIT: I think the feature is called Direct Call, & I want to disable it.

having google maps cache for when you don't have reception or gps would be a nice feature you might wanna put in a request to google the developers there might be able to implement it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kunteper:
or you can use gpsVP (freeware). it uses google maps and saves the maps on your phone. has a desktop version too, so you can download the maps to your phone from your desktop, and you wont have to use airtime to download them when you are on your way.

the program has some nice features like tracking, waypoints, traffic density etc..

I guess that having things stored locally is against the very concept of what Google aims to achieve... I don't think they'll ever release a version where the maps can be stored locally... it must all be drawn 'live' from the web... eventually perhaps data connections will be free though :)
