Alright, so I decided to come back to this and experimented a little bit, and I was finally able to install this without the previous issues that I had before. So far I'm loving it. The only thing that I did differently is wipe and format everything, instead of just data. The latest versions of Magisk and Gapps installed with no issues.
Hi:
I've had the F! for about 6 months now (and with the exception of the quality of the camera, which has been well documented) I've been loving it !
I have experience with installing custom ROM's in the past with previous Android phones and have been considering installing one on the F1. Would you mind pointing out the key benefits of the ROM you have installed over the stock Android 9 I'm running now. I'm wondering if it is worth the effort (I enjoy tinkering in order to optimize performance) or should I leave well enough alone.
Thanks in advance for any help and info you could provide.
Well, *gulp*. I'm going to have to retract my previous statement (I actually came back here to do so). I just now found a really serious problem. Everytime I download a large number of individual files (such as photos) in quick succession on Chrome ( I didn't test other browsers) my phone will show the "power off'" screen and will continously boot back into TWRP... Nothing I do can get me out of TWRP, and I can't even get the damn phone to power off. I ended up reflashing Lineage 3 more times to see if this was a consistent problem, and it is. It always shuts down and bootloops if I download a lot of files in Chrome. I'm honestly kinda shocked. So all I can say is don't flash this...
Thanks for the update. I guess I'll leave it as is for now. Hope you get things all sorted out.
Good luck !
any one know if this umidigi mobile work in usa carriers ?

Solution of boot problem
After several reboots, my phone suddenly reboots automatically, rebooting into TWRP. Then it never boots into system.
I found stock recovery can let the phone boot into system again!
Just flash stock recovery, phone will reboot into stock recovery once to show you an error message and require a data erase.
But don't select data erase, just select "try again" and your phone can boot normally.

What are the pros and cons of using this ROM over the GSI ROMs mentioned in this other thread https://xdaforums.com/android/development/psa-project-treble-t3917284
Is this more stable than the GSI ROMs?

I really like this rom. The only issue i am having so far is that mms doesn't download messages. I have the apn setting correct. Any help would be appreciated.
Can you post the recovery you got to work please, as I cannot get it to work with two I have.

8Introduction
This is my port of LineageOS 17.0 for the UMIDIGI F1, with things mostly working as they are expected to. This ROM depends on the official vendor image, so please be sure you are on the latest official build before flashing this ROM onto your device. Also, since these MTK devices often come with some strange variants, please be aware that your lineage may vary.
Known Bugs
- VoLTE does not work (and probably won't work on any MTK device with custom ROMs any time soon) due to MTK's proprietary extensions.
- (Fixed since 20191230) Sometimes data connection can be randomly lost during reconnections. This can be fixed by either a reboot or `pkill phone` in a root shell (terminal).
Flashing Instructions
1. You MUST flash my TWRP port available here before trying to install the ROM
2. Reboot into TWRP, wipe data (no format needed), then install the ROM zip
3. Install anything else you would like (Magisk, OpenGAPPs, etc. OpenGAPPS beta for Android 10: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/beta/)
4. Reboot into system and enjoy.

2Android 11 for umidigi F1
Made google backup »»» unlocked bootloader
flashed with smart phone flash tool in 1 time :
1 > preloader
2 > TWRP recovery to make backup later
3 > system > lineage-18.0-20201017-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS.img
Reboot phone, setting wifi, updates google play, restore backup google play, give usb debugging for transfer files.
checked gps, phone, music, wifi and many more. This is the last OS to test and I will keep this.
for stability an security everything looks good and works perfect. I will not change anymore.
Last test is battery and how it will connect in different places.
when i started fresh, rom asked everything and put back my google backup. Love this rom.1What do you mean by "This ROM depends on the official vendor image" Do I need to flash the latest firmware from Umidigi, then flash Lineage?1
Actually I don't think there is much change in umidigi's firmware so you are probably fine with pretty much any vendor image. I am on the September vendor image which shows as 201907241
Now I'm lost ? don't get me wrong, I didn't started yet to develop, but if Umidigi has an "open source" kernel, could it be decompiled somehow from the stock firmware?
