That's the module i link to in my Telegram group, people said its also working for them

By your boot.img link from the stock version of Android 11 ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
What? Can you write your question in another way? I don't understand
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ek-nfn:
From which firmware is the boot.img file specified in Lineage Recovery ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
I believe it's from January los 20. The thing that matters is that it's signed with my own private keys which avoids the signature verification error
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ek-nfn:
Can you tell me how to get boot.img from the firmware from 05.05.2023 ? To get a patch via Magisk
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
You can flash magisk.zip from lineage recovery. You can use sideload or USB/sdcard, and if you don't want to do that you can use payload-dumper to get the img from the zip

Thanks ! Another question is How to make backup and recovery from LOS recovery ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
los recovery doesnt support that, best use swiftbackup after you flash magisk, thats what i use for backups

Y a-t-il un TWRP POUR Los-20 MiA 3 ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ek-nfn:
doesn't save contacts (phone book)? In the settings there is no
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
You can save those using the inbuilt lineage contacts app, in the settings there is an option to export them
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
I assume that's french for "Will you do TWRP for Los 20?", the answer to that is no, i don't plan to, lineage recovery is simple and stable
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ek-nfn:
Great, I didn't know.

The question is closed. I wanted to use TWRP for backup-restore. Now there is a replacement

guys im very noob, how can i install magisk on mi a3 running Los20
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
Well you can clean or dirty flash, clean means with format data, dirty without format, both should work, just sideload the ROM from recovery
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
Download magisk apk from their GitHub, change the extension to a .zip and sideload from recovery

Hi Skyblueborb !

Which applications can be removed from the firmware without disrupting its functioning ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
Why would you do that? If you want more space, that won't help since it's in system partition. And i don't recommend ripping stuff out of the system, it won't help you get more bb or whatever you're after

Hi Skyblueborb !

What do Vanilla+MicroG users most often complain about?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
Why would they complain? Rn I'm using los 20 + MicroG without any issues
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ek-nfn:
Do all apps that require google libraries work with MicroG without issue?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
Certainly not all, especially Google play games doesn't work at all, but most other apps work for me, check out the wiki of r/MicroG from reddit, it has a lot of knowledge regarding microg and compatibility of apps
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ek-nfn:
That's what I was asking about
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
But that's from MicroG side, this can change every MicroG update, and it's really dependent on the users apps, i can't influence what Google does or how MicroG develops, but for me the compatibility is amazing, i was very surprised

Skyblueborb,

And how do you synchronize the calendar with your google account with Vanilla + microG? How to keep calendar data when switching to Vanilla+microG ?

Is it possible to flash Magisk_patched_boot.img with LOS recovery?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
I don't use calendar reminders so i can't tell you.

No you cannot flash imgs from los recovery
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ek-nfn:
Skyblueborb,

Is the fastboot flash boot

magisk_patched.img

command enough to

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

or is it necessary to specify the active boot_a (or boot_b) partition?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
you dont need to specify the slot, fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img will work
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] modstaryt:
you can simply flash magisk zip with los recovery and follow the simple rooting method. No need to flash the patched boot image and flash the magisk zip in slot b not in slot a.

Hi

Is wifi OK?

Every wifi that I connect, errors that it is limited connection and there is no internet

Why?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] modstaryt:
I was also facing the same issue for 2 days..then I fixed the IP for my device and changed the randomised Mac to Device Mac in the Wifi Settings and also Fixed the IP for my device from the Gateway website and now it is working fine..This worked for me.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] hadikamel:
Google photos is unlimited in this rom, or not?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] modstaryt:
by default it is not there,if you want it then root and intsall pixelify magisk module.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] hadikamel:
T

Thank you

I like this rom, it's very smooth 😍
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
no, but there's pixelify (as @modstaryt said) or you can use this app, here's the guide from my tg group:

1) install magisk if you haven't

2) enable zygisk in magisk settings AND reboot your phone

3) install lsposed from magisk and reboot (https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed/releases scroll down till you see assets, and download the zip containing the word "zygisk". Do NOT download the "riru" version)

4) after unlocking, your phone will ask you to create a shortcut. Do it and place it in your home screen

5) download the apk from https://github.com/BaltiApps/Pixelify-Google-Photos/releases and install it

6) open lsposed (the shortcut you created), go to modules, and enable module

7) open the app you installed, set "pixel xl" as the device to spoof, click "force stop google photos" button, and then open Google photos to confirm it's working

If the app says the module isn't enabled, force stop it and try again

this doesnt rely on spoofing the whole phone as pixel and is a cleaner solution imo, just does one thing, and it does it well

next build when?

expecting some changes in the upcoming build,so planning to make a yt video on my channel.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
Not sure, still waiting on June patch to get merged, maybe next week or so
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] phacyde:
GMS version installed since 2 days, very smooth and no problem so far. Just, but maybe it's just me, at first boot play store can't connect to internet, other apps can, after a little head scratch just have to enable data in the notification tile.

Installed Pixelify-Google-Photos thanks to your guide, work fine and installed No912 kernel (batt) too, impressive mix with your rom.

Hope you update this for very long, our mi a3 are still very capable little phone.

Big thanks to you Skyblueborb and all the people who made it possible.

Just to be sure since it's the first time I install magisk and kernel on the mi a3, when update come and I dirty flash it, is there something to be aware for magisk and kernel ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
As for the internet issue, i haven't faced it, but nice you got it solved

Regarding magisk and kernel, you'll need to reflash them, so it would go like this: dirty flash rom, reboot to recovery, flash magisk, reboot to system, flash 912

Hello,

I currently have Android 12 pixel experience ROM with pixel experience recovery. What would be best steps to switch to this ROM? Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
Look at the installation instructions, follow that, and it should work nicely
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ricanxd:
So install the lineage recovery, wipe, and flash ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
Yup, exactly, for good measure wipe before flashing the ROM and after, but otherwise you're good

i also had issue with play store, and restore backup didn't work because internet for those apps was disabled , once i enabled them in on options, it worked normally. first time faced such problem but indicator in status bar helped.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Pildik:
The problem is that LOS has a built-in firewall and it is set to block google play by default. Maybe you could disable it for google play?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
wait what, this is odd, lineage 20 with gms variant? i havent used that for a while (since like january) i switched to vanilla + microg, but ill see this in a bit
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
also regarding this, june patch just got merged, but i won't be able to build and release it. i'm going abroad soon, for the summer time to work, i won't have access to my pc to build roms, so enjoy the current public build. this doesn't mean that los is dropped, just i'm unable to provide updates for the next 2 months (around the beginning of september i should be back home, and ill do custom roms again). hope you guys understand :)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Pildik:
Yes, the GMS variant. It says it cannot connect to the internet during installation and after installation, we have to enable connection for google play in app settings.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Pildik:
I cannot use my banking app. It says the phone is rooted. Can I fix it somehow?

This is the app.

magisk hide
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Pildik:
But my phone is not rooted. And when I tried to root it just to apply the settings, it didn't help.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gorankx:
root it with magisk through los recovery.

doesn't matter it's not rooted if SE policy is not enforced your phone will fail safety net.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Pildik:
I did it. I downloaded magisk, then installed it. It wanted to update the app so I updated it, then I changed the extension of the updated magisk file to zip, got to los recovery, applied update, chose the magisk file, after it finished, I rebooted phone, went to the app, it wanted to do some other changes so I allowed it, then I went to magisk settings and used the hide magisk setting. And nothing happened.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gorankx:
ok, you have magisk installed, did you hide play store, play services play framework and bank app?

best to is to google magisk hide, maybu you can install some additional magisk module.

i am not sure for lso but when i was using sparkOS we had to install kernel 912 to get banking app to work.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Pildik:
Hiding the apps helped. Thank you very much! I was already desperate.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gorankx:
no prob
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
sepolicy is always enforcing on my roms, just lineage doesnt spoof safetynet from source, i did a bunch of stuff which worked on jan build to pass safetynet but google changed stuff so it no longer works, anyways, to pass safetynet go ahead and flash magisk and follow this:

So you need Magisk, kdrag0n's safetynet fix modded by Displax.

• install the safetynet fix module

• Reboot

• Open Magisk and go to settings, enable Zygisk and Enforce Denylist

• Configure the denylist and hide the following options:

-> Google Play Services

-> Google Play Store

• Clear playstore data reboot and enjoy

Quick announcement, im going abroad soon, without access to my pc (where i build my roms), thus this is the last rom update for around the next two months. if los 20 had merged june patch earlier i would've done it, but now i dont have enough time to build, test and release it by tomorrow. i'll still be active here, but i won't be able to build roms. hope you guys will understand and have a great day/night/summer

Yo bro, found a way to bypass, install this app and the banking app, search for UBB in the app you installed, find the activity i circled in the picture below, swipe a bunch of times to the right click the button at the end, accept the popup that appears and it doesn't kick you out anymore

Alrighty, the room looks butter smooth really, it's super quick, so, first of all, great job there.

Having lots of issues with the camera tho:

- It is unable to record or save photos directly on the external sd card

- no 1080p 60fps recording (only 30 or 24 fps)

- no HDR

- no 48 MP photos

- no HEVC x265 video encoding

- aspect ratio of the video capture preview is wrong (it's not 16:9 as it should be, it's 4:3 instead)

- orientation of the recorded videos is wrong sometimes (tilted 90° clockwise in portrait ratio 9:16) - i think it's something related to the auto-orientation setting of the system

Got also a small issue with the fingerprint sensor, the menu settings for enabling it when the device is locked (i.e. unlocking the device while the screen is off and locked) is not available, so I have to turn the screen on before I can unlock the screen. Not a big issue, but camera is probably the biggest limitation I've seen so far.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
The camera isn't a stock camera replacement, it's just a simple and open source (very important for the LineageOS sources) app for quick pictures, it lacks in a lot of places, but it works way better than the previous open source cameras, it's still a work in progress. And besides stock camera won't work on A13, so you gotta look for gcams (all the things you mentioned can be achieved with different gcams and config files)

The thing you mentioned isn't a bug, Lineage didn't implement it. And it will never work like the stock ROM as well. And I've yet to find a good enough solution to get screen off FOD on A13, i did find one for A11 (it's kinda slow, can be inaccurate, but works). Double tap to wake might help you overcome this, easier to unlock imo (double tap, then hold your finger on the fingerprint place)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
Responded twice to the same message, hot desynced between my two devices (on one I sent it, then on another i didn't see that it was sent and replied again lol)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ManuelLima1994:
Nice rom, just quick question, how can i use the camera app? maybe sounds stupid but when i open the LOS Camera, appears on black, is there something else that i can do? Thanks again for bring Android 13 to the Mi A3 phone :geek:
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
That's weird, is anything else using the camera? And this is your first boot? If it is, try rebooting
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ManuelLima1994:
I just cleared the app data and cache, and it works now, ty :D
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] papamobile9I:
So yeah, for the cameras seems like the GCams do most of the tricks (except for the 40 MP but it's not a big issue)

The good thing about the fingerprint reader is that it seems quite more accurate than the stock ROM. I get less failed read attempts now, at least this is my feeling about it. But probably it's just because my new fingerprint scan turned out to be more accurate.

I've got a new problem now tho. I moved my main SIM card here now, and found out that everytime I make a phone call...I can hear myself. For some reason the phone speaker is playing the capture of the device's microphones (both of them) while I'm in call, which is quite annoying. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? That doesn't seem to be a normal behavior to me.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
(There are 48mp XML files for LMC 8.4 btw, I can link them here if you want)

As yes, the good ol' mic issue, I'm tired of hearing it on telegram (where I most actively answer questions) and now it's on XDA, oh well. Lemme explain, the thing is - there is no clear solution, for 90% of people it might work perfectly, but for some devices (for whatever reason, might be some hardware defect or whatever) it doesn't play well. Same with low mic volume some report, me and a couple of my close testers and other A3 developers don't face it, but there's always, and I mean, always someone that reports that. So yeah, some people found some hacky solutions, but there's no fix I can implement, anything I would do would break the mic of the rest of the people to fix only the small minority. If you want I can ask some people that faced this on telegram and see what I can learn about the possible but hacky solutions. The echo is rarer than the low mic volume afaik, I remember the low mic volume can be "fixed" by editing an overlay and disabling noise reduction of the mic (why I'm quoting fixed is because it actually isn't a fix, just a dirty hack which also lowers the quality of the mic, more background noise basically).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] papamobile9I:
welp, seems like I'm one of the very unlucky ones who get the echo issue I guess.

That's fair enough. If it works for the majority of others, I would leave it as it is myself.

Not sure how much disabling noise reduction could help though, wouldn't that make everyone being almost unable to hear me when it's noisy or windy (which is most of the cases when I'm at the phone anyway)?

If so it's probably better to me to get back to the old device I was using before I guess.

Thanks anyway for all your work, the rom actually works great. It's still great as a spare device.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Remorcer:
The thing is that the echo issue persists when flashing the stock rom, although sometimes it goes away for a few calls when clearing all phone apps data, but not always. Seems like a firmware issue to me.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ConradoMods:
i'm thinking of installing this. How is the battery life? I tried not so long ago an android 13 rom for my Mi A3 and the battery couldn't even last half of my day (i always wake up at 6 am, if i don't use my phone too much to play and stuff, it usually lasts until 7pm without much trouble)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] n.p.:
I just installed this, and it wants to format (and erase) my exfat external micro SD card (where I have all of my apps and data). Under storage, I get a message that I have a corrupted SD card (but I don't - it worked fine before flashing), and it checks out fine on my desktop.

Okay, this looks like a problem (which I didn't have with any prior ROM):

laurel_sprout:/ # /system/bin/fsck.exfat /dev/block/vold/public\:179,1
exfatprogs version : 1.1.2
too long label. 15
failed to verify volume label
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
Battery depends on your usage, best is to try and see for yourself
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Skyblueborb:
You mean extended storage? Yeah that's buggy on los 20 (in general, not device specific). And if you mean just exfat sdcard (with files, used as portable storage) then I'm not sure, does A3 support it on stock ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] n.p.:
After much research, I can describe what happened. Microsoft (around the time of Windows 7) allowed 15 character volume labels (which exfat-utils in Linux mimicked). Somehow when they published their official specification (much later) however, the following specified the label directory entry:

Field Name Offset Size Comments
(byte) (byte)
EntryType 0 1 This field is mandatory and Section 7.3.1 defines its contents.
CharacterCount 1 1 This field is mandatory and Section 7.3.2 defines its contents.
VolumeLabel 2 22 This field is mandatory and Section 7.3.3 defines its contents.
Reserved 24 8 This field is mandatory and its contents are reserved.

Apparently, Microsoft became concerned about having a different maximum label size than legacy FAT filesystems (after years of a 15-character maximum), so (in the specification) they restricted the label length to 11 UCS (2-byte Unicode) characters), and "reserved" the last eight bytes of the directory entry. The addition of exfat to the Linux kernel came with the release of an "official" package of utilities (exfatprogs). Bottom line (I don't know how recent versions of Windows handle this), exfat-utils still allows the creation of 15-character labels, while exfatprogs does not. Further, the fsck in exfatprogs reports an error when the directory entry has a label length greater than 11. So, basically, I just needed to shorten the label to eleven characters to get the fsck.exfat on LineageOS (obviously from exfatprogs) to accept the card without demanding to format it.
