It should work, but sometimes it takes a couple of tries with reboots in between. I did not find a pattern yet, but in general flashing boot and doing the power vol+ combo should be fine. Maybe it's a timing thing, not sure. Try to switch which button you press first maybe, or try to press them at the exact same time. A bit weird, yeah

UPDATE: pressing the + button just a bit earlier seems to be doing the trick for me!

I dunno how we're supposed to do updates for this ROM?

I did this:

* boot to recovery

* adb sideload lineage.zip

* reboot to recovery (changes slot)

* adb sideload gapps.zip (gotta do this each time?)

* adb sideload Magisk.apk (gotta do this each time?)

* reboot to system

I did a few reboots and power off/on cycles and it didn't fail to boot. So I guess the privapp thing was fixed :)

I have an old CrDroid rom on the phone :(

It is time to upgrade to a new and better 18.1 or 19.1 (the more stable is?).

I read the thread, but now I need to know and follow the correct procedure to avoid errors. I use Fdroid and Adway as adblock. Is Magisk necessary? Should the switch between the two A / B partitions always be done during installation or for updates?

Thanks to who will answer
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Its_Vixano:
- Just follow the instructions, everything is written here

View attachment 5582685

- Should be stable enough for daily driving it, sadly i don't use daisy anymore as a 'primary' device

- I also use fdroid and adaway and they don't require root

Hi a1291762,

is the above an alternative method to go from Lineageos 18.1 to Lineagos 19.1 or should the original procedure from Its_Vixano be used? If it is an upgrade procedure rather than an update procedure (are those to be expected at all?) can you give a more detailed explanation? I have TWRP 3.5.2_9.2 and Magisk on my phone, however, TWRP should not be used for flashing 19.1 because of FBE build (what's that?). Does your procedure work with fastboot or adb? Whatsoever, though it is not my daily driver I am very happy with my Mi A2 Lite with TWRP and Magisk but I also like playing... (with 75 years).

Thanks for all of your efforts!

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] a1291762:
The OP guide seems to be written for people coming from something other than Lineage. The first part of it sets up the Lineage recovery and formats user data.

Since I was coming from Lineage and already had the recovery, I figured I could skip those steps. The OP guide says you can skip formatting data if you're coming from Lineage and I figured the recovery can't have changed too much.

I don't know how much testing was done for a Lineage 18 -> 19 upgrade. It worked for me but I barely had anything installed when I did it. Make backups in case of data loss and all that.

Something I don't understand in the OP guide is the suggestion to use the copy_partitions script. It only seems useful if your phone is somehow in an odd situation where miscellaneous A and B partitions don't match? It can't hurt to run it I guess.

My 18->19 upgrade process matches the 19 "OTA" process. Refer to the OP guide for screenshots and details.

1. Boot to recovery

2. Sideload the lineage zip

3. Reboot to recovery (changes the active slot)

4. Sideload gapps

5. Sideload Magisk

The lineage zip is like a "full OTA" for the stock ROM. Flashing it overwrites system, boot and vendor, hence the need to flash gapps and magisk again. But the recovery only supports flashing to the current slot, hence the reboot in the middle.

FBE has to do with encryption. I found this that might help explain it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/hd534a

Booting TWRP 3.5.2_9.2 (fastboot boot twrp.img) shows only garbage names under /sdcard plus a bunch of other places (but not all of /data). So I guess TWRP doesn't support FBE encryption? I'm not sure why that matters for flashing system partitions, but if any of lineage, gapps or magisk expects to write to places covered by FBE then clearly that's not going to work properly under TWRP.

Since you have installed TWRP over the Lineage recovery, you'll have to get a Lineage recovery back on your phone before you can upgrade. Using the provided recovery should work I guess? If not, you could use TWRP to flash the most recent Lineage 18 zip, which will also replace TWRP with Lineage recovery. Part of the reason I attempted the 18->19 upgrade in the first place is because I couldn't get the provided recovery to boot on my phone.

I hope that helps.

Magisk is reversible. At least for me it worked. I need this for saving the data from my old phone. (Right now I haven't changed to LineageOS).

I have experienced the very same issue: Google play reported: "You are Offline" though WLAN worked. It actually appears that "Allow Network access" is disabled by default. The above solution: "Long press Google Play -> About app -> Data and Wifi -> Allow Network access -> set to Enabled." is the only way out.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Arkon1337:
Also had the same problem but a different "solution".

Install Rom.

install gapps.

OTA update :-D

Factory reset :-D

Error message in recovery that I can no longer install the old Rom.

Then just restarted and Lineage starts at once and goolge play went.

I have never had such a thing in 10 years of custom roms.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] urpes:
Yesterday I installed this rom. Some data could be backuped with Neo Backup and Titanium. Some apps wouldn't start after recovering data. But the OS itself is a bit more fluid in comparance with ArrowOs (in my opinion).

Nice work.

One issue I noticed (same like in ArrowOS). Using flash with default camera app isn't possible as pictures just will be dark because it's taken when light for flash is dark again. With open camera this works (but images have a blue cast).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Its_Vixano:
God knows what xiaomi done with the camera stack.

I already tried to debug it, switching to oss camera hal, nothing worked ...

@Its_Vixano i can live with this issue. I'm so glad about the OS itself. I was a bit disappointed that the standard app as no function for panorama fotos but that's on the mobile Google Pixle from my company the same. This worked with the stock app from Xiamoi really well.

But the updates are more important to me than such functions.

Hi, can I ask you how did you get Android Auto to work? Did you just flash NikGApps module for Android Auto or the entire GApps package? Thank you, and by the way, @Its_Vixano the ROM works perfectly, thank you for your work
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Wuschel93:
Using Open Camera worked here. All other camera apps (GCam, Lineage stock, etc.) all had the flash issue at some point.

@Its_Vixano, any ideas regarding the notification light?

i tested the flash on my phone and you are correct the Gcam´s + LineageOS Cam flash is not ok , under normal picture mode timming of the flash is off resulting in a black photo :eek:😂🤣, however on the gcam if you change to HDR+ the flash works fine , i guess i will use OpenCamera for pictures and gcam for videos , i realy love the Video image stabilization of the gcam :)

still OpenCamera is an excelent recomendation it is the only CameraApp worth downloading/installing out there , dont realy use the cameras that mutch , but its nice to now they work if you need them👍
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Wuschel93:
Signal seems to be a seperate issue about the app itself, see here e.g.: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/12068

It's a notification issue that occured with Signal being used on Android 12 and 13 installs.

But the notification light not flashing is unique to this LOS build. It would be amazing to get different behaviour depending on what message comes in or what device activity the LED is indicating - the Android notification LED adjustment settings are currently ignored.

E.g. when the phone is charging, there's currently no way of distinguishing between the ongoing charging and a message coming in.

BTW, the battery LED stops showing as soon as the battery hits 90% while charging - IMHO, it should only stop showing when the battery is full...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] key-ancel:
I just installed the rom of 12/24 and the truth is that I am amazed with the fluidity of the system. it is much better than Android 12.

I only found the notification light bug, then the use of the SD card in Netflix, although I read the latter in the forums that it is the fault of Android 13.

Many thanks to the developer for this hard work and it seems to me that this version of Lineage OS could be official.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Hhh81:
After I start the phone, if they call me, the screen where to choose whether to answer or not does not appear, how can I do? incoming call not showing.

Edit: i have installed the "Google Phone" app ,set as default phone app , restarted again the phone, and it doesn't have any problems since then.

So your Lineageos phone app is to blame, it has some problems or bugs. Can be solved ?

Hey Vixano i have an idea for the Notification light , i see some references about the Colour of the Notif light

but i never saw any colour other then white now assuming ( BIG Maybe ? )it can do the basic RGB colours

Well, I download this file but it is just 50 mb...should I download also the complete 1.5 gb file (fastboot rom, .gz?) and flash the V11 fw?

Or do I flash just this V11 52 mb file directly on my Andoid 10 stock?

Also, it says "Flash LineageOS ONLY with LineageOS Recovery"....is it me or I can't find recovery for A2 lite on the itsvixano page?

Also, if there is no Lineage OS recovery, what recovery should I install? TWRP?

UPDATE: I was able to flash the firmware zip...but the next step that says "Sideload the LineageOS zip we downloaded before." it gives error " failed to find update binary meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary ". ANy idea?

What you've created is brilliant!

Except some negligible/minor things, everything is great.

However, I am using Signal messaging application and since letting the app running at background is the only way to get the notifications, it also seemed to me that it drains the battery.

I mean, it drains way faster than how it was while I was on the stock rom.
