Don't know if this is a problem of this ROM. Since this morning at least following apps aren't able to connect to the internet: Google Play Store, Whatsapp, Telegram.

Others like Brave or Youtube .... are working without Problems. Does anyone have a hint?

It works again. It didn't work for more than twelve hours but now shortly after writing it's okay again.

Hi guys,

As nobody replied, I'd like to re-raise my topic. I still can't touch the very left edge of my device, even after several OTA updates. I'm very sure this hasn't been the case with ROMs I used before.

Here's a screenshot as I used the pointer location, drawing from the right to the left edge (the blue-reddish line):

Does anyone else hae this issue? Any idea (Vixano maybe 😉) how this can be fixed?

My secone issue is, that the calls are very silent, even with full volume. It's hard to understand the person I talk to, especially in noisy sourroundings. Can I somehow increase the in call volume?

Thanks in advance for some hints.

Regards,

ollie

Anybody getting screen turning on and off during charging? If you switch off the screen manually then it seems to stay off, but otherwise it continues to turn on and off.

Since I use this ROM, my battery is drained pretty fast. And I can't get the battery to be 100%. Leaving my phone plugged for 24h get the battery to ~60%

Is my battery dying or could it be a software issue ? It suspiciously started after I switched from xiami default OS to this ROM ( lineage-20.0-20230918 )
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MarkR7:
My battery charging and usage is normal on this ROM. Might be your battery going for some reason, but if you could switch back to the previous ROM or a different one, you could verify. Could also be a problem with the charging circuit, I just had a different good phone totally dead brick on me after just a reboot, no charging no nothing.

Hi, even if the question is trivial, I need to install Lineage on the 'Daisy'. I have an old version of CrDroid in use. I was supposed to do it some time ago but then there was no way or time. I ask what would be the procedure to follow (if it has been updated), without making mistakes. A thousand thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ghazer:
I just installed the most recent OTA and my phone seems to be stuck in a boot loop (I see LineageOS boot animation, then it goes to black screen and reboots).

Before it worked just fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
i have the same issue as ghazer. power and up/down button both go to fastboot.

i notice there is no separate recovery image for daisy, did you integrate it into the rom image?

can anyone provide troubleshooting instructions to get out of this boot loop?

I was able to resolve it by manually flashing firmware, lineageos and MindTheGapps with this guide:

Flashing - ItsVixano

itsvixano.gitlab.io

I skipped everything before the "firmware flash" section and used the download links from this page:

Download links - ItsVixano

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ghazer:
Thanks!

I figured I should try something like that, but I was worried it's gonna make things worse. That is reassuring. I'll try that tomorrow, then.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
so tricky to get into recovery, but after too many attempts got in and reflashed with 20231012, now phone is booting into Lineage.

FYI I did not do the the firmware flash, just the LineageOS sideload via adb.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ghazer:
Thanks, did the same (+ sideloaded GApps and Magisk) and it worked.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zenowaren:
Hi, there is vendor.img among the latest ROM files. What to do with this file? Should i flash too? Vendor.img not mentioned in the flashing guide. (I'm on another ROM. I'll flash this ROM manually)

thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] The Coolest:
Thanks for this, I just upgraded an old Mi A2 Lite from A10 to your build and so far it seems to be working pretty great!

I was wondering, is there a way to add Google's 'Data Transfer Tool' app to the OS?

I used it on a new Pixel phone I recently setup and it went so smoothly copying everything from an older phone.

It'd be awesome if I was able to copy another phone to LOS with this tool.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nexive:
Thanks for this ROM! I followed the instructions and installed the recovery and ROM succesfully on my brother's Xiaomi.

Everything I tested is working fine and it is amazing that this perform well on this 'old' device.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zenowaren:
Hi, is device certified on PlayStore?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nexive:
Yes, the device is certified in the Play Store (rooted with Magisk 26.3 and Zygisk enabled).

Also passed the SafetyNet check.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zenowaren:
Thank you. Do i have to root the device to be certified or i'm doing something wrong, because my device is not certified(no root).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] blue3111:
Same question !!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nexive:
I'm not sure of that but you can test it maybe. I automatically root my devices when I flash a custom rom.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] autokoise:
Hi to all, I'm here just to confirm which for flashing this superb work from @Its_Vixano also the good old Orange Fox recovery (the last official 11.1) works very well.

I follow the ''historical'' method:

1 flash OF image on the extract folder

2 wipe everything on ''manage partition'' > "data'' > ''yes'' then (maybe is not necessary) on wipe menu i swipe ✅Dalvik, ✅System, ✅Data, ✅ Internal storage

3 reboot to recovery and install Rom zip and orange fox zip, then switch slot manually and reboot to recovery.

At this point you con install additional zip like gapps, magisk...(I'm a microg user and suggest a NoGoolag package) > then reboot to system.

Also OTA works without problems, I upgraded today.

My stock base is 11.0.20.0 and my previous cusrom Is lineage 17.1 with inbuilt microg.

Sorry for my poor English and thanks again to @Its_Vixano for this amazing Rom, grazie!!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arktschi:
Hey guys, Everything worked great so far to me following the guide:

Flashing - ItsVixano LineageOS

guide.itsvixano.me

until the step

- Flashing LineAgeOS

I could flash the firmware but when trying to flash the LineageOS

I know there (used to) be a problem with big files since its 800MB and I activated the large adress awareness for adb.exe but still I get this error..

On my phone it says:

"Now send the package you want to apply to the device with 'adb sideload <filename>'...

Supported API: 3

Finding update package...

Verifying update package..."

I tried many things but am completely clueless after hours of trying different things...

It always stops between 1-22% without any given error.

Please help how to fix this. I have no idea since the firmware flash with sideload worked perfectly..

The device always is listed with 'adb devices' showing its 'authorized' 'recovery' 'sideload'

EDIT:

Also I used for bootloader unlock: "adb oem unlock" the "adb flashing unlock" didn't work

Should I instead try to skip the firmware, use TRWP and somehow get Lineageos20 flashed? So many hours and error message non existing..

Thanks so much for your work @Its_Vixano
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] autokoise:
You can try the method i've describeb on the #363 post, just previous yuor....with orange fox everything works smoothly!!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arktschi:
So Orange Fox is the recovery?

Also, do you have a Link?

Means, Flash OF as recovery, then flash the mentioned firmware from Vixano, then flash the LineageOS 20 from Vixano and afterwards the Gapps & magisk if wanted. Corrrect?

just double confirm as I already put so much hours into it

Thanks for the quick reply!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] autokoise:
https://orangefox.download/release/60a29455e805649489f06b38 (this is the link for recovery):

extract this package on pc, flash the recovery image with command 'fastboot flash boot recovery.img' then reboot on recovery with command 'fastboot boot recovery.img', now you are on FOX recovery, go to ''manage partition'' > ''data'' > ''format data'' > ''yes'', then on WIPE SECTION ✅Dalvik, ✅System, ✅Data, ✅ Internal storage > ''wipe'' > reboot to recovery, finally copy the last lineage 20 release zip of this thread, the zip downloaded from the Orange fox link and flash both in sequence > go to ''reboot'' and switch slot (A if B is active and vice-versa) > reboot in recovery (at this point you can flash some other additional optional zip like GAPPS or MAGISK) > finally reboot to the system.

P.S. i assume your bootloader is already unlocked before starting these operations!

P.P.S.: Just to be clear, this procedure erase everything you have on the phone, this is a totally cleaned installation!! (my flashes experimentation is always totally cleaned, i don't mind about backup!!)

Is this going to come OTA? Or is dirty flash possible?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Its_Vixano:
Dirty flash is fine, make sure you reflash the addons you previously flashed (like gapps)

Always make backups in case

I updated today to LineageOS version 21 from 20, and I thank you (i'm italian too) . However, I noticed that on silent notifications the "Device charging via USB" is always present and the cable is not connected, even when restarting, the notification remains there all the time. It's normal? How can I remove it?

Great work again. I have this silent notification, too. For me it's just a minor flaw. It's great to have the current Android on the Mi A2 lite.

Hi,

I've got one thing what's disturbing me a little bit.

On the german keyboard I don't get the same possibilieties like on my official business smartphone (Google Pixel 7). There I have the possibility to see the german "Umlaute" (ä,ö,ü) directly. On the Mi A2 lite only by pressing the a, o or u for a longer time.

Perhaps this can be changed. Or is there a possibility to get the keyboard from the pixel?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spreng0r:
Hi, thanks for the great rom. I am still running the latest LineageOS 20 build and have only one problem:

During calls, the other person hears their own voice, so I guess my phone creates some sort of echo. This is not there when using a headset. Anyone else has this problem?

I did not update the stock rom to Android 10 (only ever used the phone on Android 9) before installing this custom rom, could this be the cause?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CrystalCommunication:
Sound waves pass through solid objects such as the phone's chassis. Try reducing the call volume and see if that helps.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] 3l770:
I don't have this issue, also using the latest LOS 20.

I rather have the issue that the other person is too silent, even on full volume. So I doubt that the volume can be too high and therefore this echo occurs (unless this is only an issue with my phone).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xzyk:
thanks to Its_Vixano for keeping this phone alive. I've updated from LOS20 to LOS21 with no problems following the link in the OP for flashing:

1. Reboot to fastboot

2. fastboot flash boot boot.img (the dowloaded one from the LOS21 download links).

3. Reboot to recovery, via Vol Up + power.

4. adb sideload LOS21.zip (the downloaded one from LOS21 download links) from PC.

5. Reboot to recovery

6. adb sideload MindTheGapps (for android14), ignoring signature verification error.

7. Reboot to system.

All went well and did not lose any of my LOS20 files or settings. Hopefully the any OTAs will come through.

Thanks again for your work.

Thanks so much for keeping this device alive. Today I installed the OTA-Update without any problems.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] grufty47:
Ok, same situation as mine, still wondering about the risk of upgrading from 18.1 to 19.1

I am rather concerned about the op instruction: "- FBE build, don't use twrp for these builds". From Android 10/LineageOS 18.1 FBE (File Based Encryption) is used as the standard encryption method, FDE (Full Disk Encryption) is only used up to Android 10/Lineage 18.1. Playing with TWRP 3.5.2_9.2 the term "FBE" popped up in some log! Should I try to simply flash 19.1 with TWRP?

Ok, playing around I put the most recent LineageOS 18.1 zip into /data/lineageos_updates folder; after a while it appeared in the updater of Settings/System/Enhanced/Updater asking for installation. Should I give it a try with LineageOS 19.1? Negative, does obviously work only for updates, not for 19.1

Perhaps of Its_Vixano advice not to use the fastboot boot command? No clue on any reason for that:

This still needs to be verified since Lineage 18.1 works with FBE!

So do I; fastboot boot <19.1_Lineage_recovery> or fastboot flash boot <19.1_Lineage_recovery> should work, everything already tested?

Why then not flashing the most recent Lineage 19 zip with the Lineage recovery and renounce on TWRP?

I still need some time (or help) to get the right answers. LineageOS 18.1 works perfectly for me though the device is not used as a daily driver.

Thanks,

Jochen

@grufty47 since this isn't my primary phone and I don't need it to remain usable, I can run some tests and see what works/does not work as far as upgrading goes.

I'll start with Lineage 18 and TWRP.

I'll try to upgrade using TWRP to flash Lineage 19 and see if that works.

I'll see if having TWRP installed (rather than just flashed/booted) works with FBE.

I'll see if I can get the Lineage 19 recovery to boot/flash successfully.

Might take me a few days. Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like me to report on.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] grufty47:
Great, hence I don't need to touch my (stand-by) mobile with > 100 apps.

The steps you suggest are exactly the way I'd take myself. Just installing straight forward the Lineage 19.1 zip by TWRP from SDcard. I wonder if there is any need to wipe data before because there should be no different partioning sheme. Otherwise the Google or TWRP back up are not too much work if only a few apps are involved. As far as I remember I was playing in TWRP with ADB sideload when a notification of FBE popped up. You can check for yourself.

I keep fingers crossed that this simpler TWRP supported method may work.

Take your time I am definitely not in a hurry to see the results! It's just for curiosity and play instinct!.

Have a peaceful Easter!

I downgraded from Lineage 19 to 18. It did not go well.

On TWRP and FBE...

For my upgrade tests, I'm starting with Lineage 18 + TWRP. I have installed Firefox in order to make it easier to spot if the user data goes missing during the upgrade :)

Now for the Lineage 19 upgrade...

How does TWRP go for Lineage 19 upgrades?

What about upgrading with the Lineage 19 recovery?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] grufty47:
Thanks a lot for your comprehensive investigation on the Lineage 18 to Lineage 19 upgrade. I am happy that it can be achieved by means of TWRP! I am going to do the upgrade once I am back at home (restricted data capacity at the moment). However another request: can you please enhance/complete your procedures with the wiping/formatting actions before installing the Lineage 19.1 zip? I guess a clean installation is the best way. No problems with the A/B scheme? Is the copy_partitions script needed or replaced by the reboot to recovery before flashing Gapps and Magisk?

Hope you had relaxed days though....

grufty47
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] a1291762:
I thought you were trying to upgrade from Lineage 18 to 19? You don't want to wipe userdata if that's the goal.

If you want a clean install of Lineage 19 then I guess you'd so it the same as any other ROM? Flash all the things, then format userdata. You can do this from either recovery.

I have no idea what concerns you have around A/B... I haven't used many custom ROMs but both Lineage ROMs use A/B partitions as expected (ie. OTA/upgrade means writing the other slot, then booting to that slot). That's why for both of them you need to reboot before flashing gapps/Magisk (those packages install to the current slot, not the other slot).

The copy_partitions script isn't "replaced" by anything. I kinda don't understand why it's there at all. The only possible thing I can think of is that a device that has been upgraded over time may have inconsistent A/B slots for all those "misc" partitions it copies. The stock ROM presumably updates them as required when doing OTAs, but depending on when they changed, and which updates got installed, that could leave the "other" set behind the "current" set. In that case, copy_partitions would be useful. If (like me) you did a stock ROM fastboot flash before using Lineage, those misc partitions will not be out of sync because Lineage doesn't change them. Copy_partitions won't hurt in that case, but it won't help either.

Good Luck

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] a1291762:

No wipe of Dalvik cache

Used TWRP 3.5.2_9.2 to flash lineage 19 zip

Used TWRP 3.5.2_9.2 to flash TWRP 3.5.2_9.2 zip

Installation completed on slot b, Reboot to recovery

Used TWRP 3.5.2_9.2 to flash gapps (no need, re below)

Used TWRP 3.5.2_9.2 to flash magisk.apk

Reboot to system

Perfect! Full system profile as well as apps and data were retained, no need to use the back-up! During Installation FBE and use of standard encryption and decryption keys were mentioned, no error messages.

However I can confirm the observation of a1291762 that TRWP 3.5.2_9.2 cannot access folders and files of i.e. the /data and /sdcard partition, but no problem to access and manage data on sdcard.

After rooting with magisk all the system partitions could be accessed and manged with the X-plore app from Google Play. With no context to the above my favorite eplorer app, the contested ES File Explorer could not access root (root explorer anabled).

That's it, Thanks
