[DISCONTINUED][ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.0 for Xiaomi Mi A1

[dellinn]

Which one would you recommend being as close as possible to LOS?

For Q roms, try Derpfest, Havoc OS, Superior OS or Revenge OS. Find the non-Gapps ones between them.

Other Pie roms are already dead earlier than LOS 16, so no hope.

Sorry for the silence.
As you may have seen yesterday, I dropped official lineageos support for tissot entirely. Not to say it was already EOL since my device died, but at that point it's too outdated and didn't have any kernel updates for more than 6 months.
Since that was my last hobby Android project I passively kept supporting, now I can say that my work on custom ROMs is over. Android is my job now, I got a lot of different things going on in my life so I simply can't keep up with everything while spending lots of my time on ROM hacking things. So, I feel like it's time for me to move on.
I want to thank tissot community for all those things we did together and I hope y'all will be ok.

Lastly... It's not a retirement, it's an indefinite leave.

thanks for all your contribution in android custom roms development and thanks for making this device base strong as ever thanks for everything

Hi,

since our beloved device is no longer maintained and because I like my mobile to be well patched. I'm currently looking for a replacement. I want to ask if someone can recommend a web page where all phones that are running lineageOS are listed and can be compared regarding their technical specifications. My expectations are rather low it must be affordable, well maintained now and for the near future and has enough power to run a navigation app (GPS is needed).

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Forget that. Any device can be dropped at any time. Like our was. Try to go to aex android 10 or go back to stock

It's a pitty there will be no more support for this rom, the code had just become very robust in the latest builds, I hope someone take over the development for not letting it die or switch to Android 10

Thank you for working all these years on android.

I know your inbox would be full from the comments and this one is no different from that...Some people would liked to be praised, while some would just ignore it... I dont know who you are...

But, I would really want to thank you for your contribution to community...
Lineage 16.0 was far one of the longest running ROM on my device (longer than stock itself ) With the support for F2FS and OTAs with excellent battery life, I found it difficult to replace with...

Thank you again for providing this experience... and making it "Best ROM" for me...

Can the rom still be constructed based on the MiA1 lineage OS wiki and with the device-specific code?

Of course.

Of course.

USB tethering doesn't work

USB tethering doesn't work with lineage-16.0-20200407-nightly. Anyone has an idea what the problem might be?

Not sure what the problem with the rom is, but I had the same.

I used the two attached scripts to bring tethering up and down from a terminal (XDA doesn't allow you to upload scripts, so save them as .sh files somewhere on your device and use a terminal emulator to run them - you'll need to do this from a root shell, if you aren't rooted, no dice).

Since I did that once it seems to have fixed it, and I can just select tethering as normal when I plug in a cable.

As a matter of fact, yes. There is even an open bug about it! (But anyone can be forgiven for not checking the bug tracker because it is basically write-only anyway).
Here is the bug report.
Here is the change that caused the problem.
The reporter even wrote about the problem in the comments, but the "developer" responsible either does not read English very well or does not care (probably both). To be fair, a1 is not a device he personally works on, so this is not really his responsibility (however you define "responsibility" here -- it's open source, you are not a paying customer, if it breaks you get to hold both pieces, etc etc.)

Your best recourse is to build yourself (that, thankfully, still works, and will probably continue to work until some "developer" makes another drive-by change that breaks it. Not terribly likely, but who knows) and fix the tethering problem while at it, it's a matter of deleting 3 lines from a makefile.

Thanks for the answer. I'll root the phone, and I'll try it.

Thanks for answering. So I would have to get rid of these lines?

ifeq ($(TARGET_KERNEL_VERSION),4.9)

PRODUCT_PACKAGES += \
	
    init.msm.usb.configfs.rc
	
endif

I think that building a ROM is above my paygrade, but I've seen a tutorial and I'll try to do it with a bit of patience.

I should have said "2 lines", sorry (the "ifeq ..." and the "endif"). The condition is wrong (the intent is fine, the problem is that it's never true. The Android build system has some dark corners, and this is one of those), but the content therein is what you need (i.e. the file "init.msm.usb.configfs.rc" must be installed on the boot partition for USB tethering to work).

I think that building a ROM is above my paygrade, but I've seen a tutorial and I'll try to do it with a bit of patience.

The "breakfast" part may give you some trouble (specifically when acquiring binary blobs from the phone, iirc), but you should be able to make it work with some well-placed kicks. Otherwise the process is pretty straightforward and mostly well-documented (skip all those video tutorials and go straight for the instructions on LineageOS' site, they are good). Do note that if you decide to flash a self-built LineageOS, due to changing build keys you'll either have to wipe or do this.

Hi everyone, I do not want tissot on LineageOS 16.0 to die, therefore I am providing unofficial builds here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-xiaomi-mi-a1-lights-t4092489

Thanks a lot for the help.
