[Discontinued] [ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.0 - Xiaomi Mi 8

[infrag]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (Pie), 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.

Damn you´re fast. Nice job.
What are the requirements for firmware?
-->
Firmware required:
Blobs from 8.9.20 miui beta
Means 8.9.20 has to be installed before?

 

[infrag]

Damn you´re fast. Nice job.
Any requirements regarding firmware and vendor image?

Yes 8.9.20
Firmware and vendor

 

[Vihru]

Does this have better notch support?

 

[gulp79]

I'm really courious to know if with LOS16 we can hide clock and show notifications on status bar.

 

[nono77240]

Will try it now
Thanks for your work

 

[Mr Sleuth]

Any big Bugs?
Or does something not work?

 

[nono77240]

Ok,

For now I didn't test everything but I have no In call sound.
Through headphone, speaker phone or high speaker.

Rest seems ok, Wifi and everything else worked.
Can't test bluetooth for now.

 

[argraur]

@infrag, there should be no bugs with sound if remove /vendor/lib*/soundfx

 

[Flawn]

Github link?

hey, just asking, do you know in which commit the sound driver have been added to the kernel source, because then the sound in the sphinx kernel would be fixed too

 

[TeeHoang]

Pardon my languages but holy ****ing ****tt! Respect man! You're fassst!

 

[infrag]

@infrag, there should be no bugs with sound if remove /vendor/lib*/soundfx

You are right. I had tried that and it worked.
However thats now how it should have to be I believe so therefore I didnt list it as an option

Also, I unpacked your build, can't see classes.dex in /system/framework/com.nxp.nfc.nq.jar, there are no /system/framework/oat/arm64/com.nxp.nfc.nq.vdex as well.

UPD: All shared libs and apps you copied from MIUI lack classes.dex (QtiTelephonyService, QtiSystemService, NQNfcNci, qcrilhook, QtiTelephonyServicelibrary and etc...). Because of that your in-call audio doesn't work

 

[tharonny]

Could someone clearify something for me. Everywhere I read about MIUI versions like 8.9.20 (the one you mentioned in the first post).
Currently I'm running xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8_V10.0.4.0.OEACNFH_v10-8.1 with getvar anti Failed status. This is a completely different version if understand it well?

At the time I am happy with the rom I'm using, but could someone mention what I should install to get this rom working in the (perhaps nearby) future for me?
@infrag: Great job man!

Edit: Figured out that I have to flash the global MIUI rom, this contains version 8.9.20

Thanks for your analysis :laugh:
Yes extracting the jars/apks all failed as you've shown. Didn't have time to fix it.

The NFC stuff is because lineage doesn't support NXP NFC yet so therefore I didn't bother adding it all as it wouldn't work straight away anyway. Hopefully I can get the extra lineage stuff for it working next build.

 

[coverdu33]

Impressive Job! So fast

Bug I noticed :
BT audio
Call audio
And notch padding bottom in domes apps webview/site.

Thank very much

 

[gugugrp]
