I don't have Telegram, so no way for me to find out what you are talking about.
Just click on Bruno's name and you see a dropdown list with: "Donate to me"
Use that and he will get the money.
There's nothing more than his PayPal on that channel, so no need joining.
You can find the same link in Bruno's profile page here on XDA, like he said.

Just FYI.
Phone would not boot yesterday, running build 20171212.
It worked fine for a few days, then I restarted it because google maps app would not close from the app switcher menu, which was strange..
But then it didn't reboot. Just gave a black screen until it ran out of battery. Was very hot when I discovered this was happening as I thought it had just died from flat battery (despite it having at least half battery when this happened).
I had to do a wipe and reinstall of LOS to get it working again.

Hello. Here is a problem with clipboard in other than OWNER profiles. Copy/paste doesn't work. Can it happen due to this patch set https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/198385 Can anyone confirm?

Just donated as well. Thank you for all your hard work, Bruno! Hope you'll get a good Mi5 and we'll see a loot of cool things by you 
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.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?
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.

That's great news, great to have you back to the family brother :highfive:
Nope, I've used the stock cable - No problems; Using Anker Powerline (3.0 to Type-C) - No problem.
Is that real? Can we get more than 6h on SOT easily on this ROM or he fake it?

It's true, but it's not as simple he said. On my mi5 I need to underclock my CPU, change governor and use greenify to reach 7h of SoT.
It looks like many, if not all, builds of LineageOS for today are failing, including the Mi 5 one... Is that right? https://jenkins.lineageos.org/job/android/
How many SOT I get without any tweaks, I mean by default after flashing the ROM?

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:
- Device tree source code: LineageOS/android_device_xiaomi_gemini
- Kernel source code: LineageOS/android_kernel_xiaomi_msm8996
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!

Last Updated 2018-02-25128I 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.85Some 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.
