so just download 7.6.8 .zip and go to twrp and install the .zip clear cache and reboot system then all start normal no problems and headphone work then.. is that correct step way ?!

install new nightly version of lineage over the phone in settings update ?!

when the 7.6.8 zip only install over twrp and my headphone work i think i wait for final lineage version and be happy with this one not every week a new version to install..

Yep, if you have problem with headhpone just downgrade your firmware to 7.6.8 or 7.6.15. Just flash it from twrp and you good to go.

I think there never a final version of Lineage OS :laugh: There always new weeklies build. Maybe there is stable build in the future, but i don't know since the launch of CM 14 is never have a stable one.

Why maintainer LineageOS for Mi5, does not unlock CPU and GPU frequencies for 32GB version like 64 / 128GB models? The filling is the same for them, except RAM.

Because that means altering clocks outside of the manufacturer’s default ranges, which is out of our scope.

Luckily Android is open source. What official LineageOS maintainer can't do, someone will do it for you:

It clearly says that if using new firmware in old lineage os version.. Headphones won't work.. Wait for today's build and then flash the new firmware.

i think just a short flash the 7.6.15.zip is easier then flash a completly nightly rom..
and everthing is same i set in my options in the phone with new nightly everthing changed...

If you already flash 7.6.8 firmware, you should be fine. No need to flash another firmware.

Ofcourse, but if you later upgrade to new weeklies (not up yet, later today) build you need minimum firmware 7.7.6 because the new build based from MIUI 7.7.6 blob. Basically something change with latest MIUI blob and dev need to adjust the ROM wich needed the same version of firmware to avoid incompatibility.

You can either flash firmware 7.5.4 or wait 24h and flash the upcoming build which will be compatible with 7.7.6 firmware ;)

If you are too impatient you can also build it from source :)
(I did that 12h ago and it was compatible with 7.7.6 already ;))

    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.1 (Nougat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

    GPL compliance:

    Broken:
    • Nothing. :)

    Working:
    • Everything except 'broken' stuff
      (see also second post for info on recurring questions)

    Compatibility:
    Compatible with all Xiaomi Mi 5 variants (32GB / 64GB / 128GB). Xiaomi Mi 5S and 5S Plus are not supported.
    Builds are based off the Xiaomi's Android 7.0 firmware with proprietary blobs from MIUI 8.1.4 dev package.​

    Downloads:

    Notice:
    • No custom kernels are supported in this thread. Only stock kernel and official builds will be supported. No bug reports if that's not the case.

    Installation:
    • Reboot to recovery (TWRP recovery for Mi 5 - Direct link)
    • Format /system, /data and /cache
    • Install LineageOS zip package
    • Install [optional] the LineageOS su addon to get root (there are obviously other root methods, but this is the recommended one as it survives to OTA updates)
    • Install [optional] a Google Apps package of your choice (Open GApps is advisable, but stock and super variants are not recommended!!!)
    Important notes:
    • Current minimal * required * firmware version is MIUI 8.1.4 Global dev, otherwise installation will fail. Download the latest dev fastboot package directly from Xiaomi and flash it prior to installing LineageOS or, alternatively, download and install one of the latest custom packages containing firmware only (at your own risk).
    • GApps can only be flashed on clean installs.
    • Formatting data (all user data is wiped, including internal storage) is a must if MIUI was previously installed and device was encrypted.

    Credits & collaborations:
    This work is due to efforts from Mi5Devs founding members (@h2o64 and me) that did the full device bring-up. Huge thanks to @deovferreira for all the help during the kernel bring-up after source code dropped. Also thanks to @ValoXis for giving me the motivation I needed and to @shade.sh for compiling unofficial builds during the transition phase.

    Finally, all LineageOS team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!​

    I really hope that everyone realizes that this is a development thread, aiming to provide support to official LineageOS for Xiaomi Mi 5. Everything that falls into unofficial category (e.g. unofficial builds and custom kernels) is not supported and not allowed here.

    Also be more respectful and grateful for the work I have already put into this. Think twice before saying that I don't care to fix things. For those who are not happy, you have plenty other ROMs out there. Funny enough, all based on Mi5Devs work.

    Some notes due to recurring questions:
    • Camera OIS can be recalibrated, if needed, with the following app: https://github.com/dobragab/Mi5CameraCalibrate.
    • Devices assembled with LGD panels may have less responsive hardware keys (recents and back) due to old touchscreen drivers released by Xiaomi. The workaround at the moment is to enable on-screen buttons and wait for more updated drivers in the next kernel source code release.
    • QC3.0 is not fully working and will be fixed when the next kernel source code drops.

    The most requested/wanted feature of all time is finally ready. @h2o64 and me spent countless hours in at least three different approaches.

    You can enjoy in probably a couple of days.

    Sadly, I regret to inform that I may have to drop official support for this device. The touchscreen replacement that I have received two days ago went fine, but the issue remains. I still get the random failures where touchscreen stops responding and I can't use the device as daily driver this way. I barely can use it for development either because I have to restart it over and over to get a few minutes of working touch. :(

    This is a pity because I liked Mi 5 a lot and a big loss as mine was the 128GB version with ceramic back. Luckily I have the good old M8 dual SIM, which has been my daily driver for a while now. That said, I am not looking for a new flagship to replace Mi 5 (yes, I don't think Mi 6 can justify the price) and already thought of buying a new one, but it seems that's no longer sold. Is there any good soul out there that eventually has switched to a newer flagship and wants to sell his Mi 5? :eek:
    So, this won't be goodbye after all... luckily two very kind users showed up and offered me their no longer used devices for a symbolic price.

    I still have a Mi5 128 GB version in white and I dont need it anymore.
    I've followed you through CM 13.1, LOS 14.1, and beta tested 15.

    We've chatted through messenger several times.

    I have the identical version, the black, ceramic 128gb. I've recently upgraded to a OnePlus 5T. I'll give you a deal if you want to continue?
    I really got to say thanks once again to you both. :highfive: I ended up buying from @mabor01 due to better shipping time and costs (and no customs involved).

    For everyone else, also a huge thanks for backing me up and supporting me with donations. :D
