[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] minax007:
Thank you very much!

Is there anything specific I should look at?

I have recently read about potential NFC issues, which you have fixed by changing to the AOSP stack.

As I am not using GPay I can't confirm correct functionality. So I would appreciate if anyone else who uses GPay could have a look on this feature.

I had tested the previous version without GApps and it worked fine.

The only thing that was avoiding that I would have used it as a daily driver was the possibility to install MicroG (with signature spoofing) on it.

But everything else was very nice.

Great achievement! Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] minax007:
It was not official yet.

His answer is related to a download link, which is found in the first post of this thread, where @infrag has uploaded the latest build without GApps.

Please test and give feedback - so that @infrag can assess if it can be made official.

Thanks!

I have no experience with NikGapps or Pixel Experience Apps.

I installed everything as described in the Lineageos tutorial.

That's why I use the Lineageos Recovery.

In this recommended combination with Lineageos Recovery and MindTheGapps I have no problems and everything works perfectly.

However, I use my Mi 8 as a second device and do not use any banking apps or security-related apps.

And it is not rooted.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] wawe361:
As far as I've understand lineage does not allow decryption in recovery (at least in A14 official builds) so twrp is not a viable option, it will probably work but not all the features.

OK was this a clean flash?

I personally flash these gapps builds so I'm fairly sure they are OK.

The problem occurs when you flash a non-gapps build to a gapps included flashed phone. It seems to kill it after trying to boot it and you cant boot even if you flash the correct gapps included build again. To fix it up you need to format data. At least thats what I had to do the one time it happened to me.

I'll just remove the gapps builds as its safer for all.
