Mine is bootlooping too. I will re-install later.
Edit: Factory reset and a re-install and all good again.

Hi,
My device is on Lineageos 19. Do I need to reinstall everything from scratch or I can just update with dirty flashing via my currently installed "old release" TWRP?

I have flashed this rom on my non-plus Mipad4, all seems to work. Is this ok or should I flash another Lineage rom?

Yeah but I was thinking more about native dpi settings for 8" version. I kinda think it's set for 10" version and that is why it looks so tiny. Even Lineage startup wizard is not displaying correctly after first flash.

I think it is just an artefact of the one ROM for all versions of the MiPad 4. Sabar used to make two versions but that is a lot of time and HDD space for him. I dirty flash the new version each month and the screen adjustments carry across. Occasionally a clean install is required.
I would say this current ROM (May23) is as about as good as a MiPad 4 can be with functionality way beyond anything Xiaomi provided. If you use a USB PD charger you can get slightly faster charging, it supports external sound devices through the USB C port and it has all the higher definition Bluetooth sound codecs like aptX HD and LDAC. Mine runs the Google One VPN happily. I use mine as a book reader and by using the USB Audio Pro app I can pipe digital music directly from Qobuz to an external DAC. If you do not change things root is also hidden so that Banking apps and the like do not complain.

Yeah, really fine rom. I was surprised seeing Google Play reporting device as certified :) Still L3 for Netflix but that is kinda expected.
Any tip for double tap on screen to sleep, it works on status bar though but not on Trebuchet area?

It is not a function I use but in the settings under Display it appears deliberate - the setting is Double-tap on the status bar or lockscreen to turn off the display

    @GregEden Yes. It is working just that if the rom remains unencrypted we should be able to mount the internal rom with all the folders.
    Wondering why at times after dirty flash, it went into bootloop and ended up having to wipe, format the data and perform a clean flash.
    My Mi Pad is more for watching video, helping me to wind down the day and not gotta store any important data and definitely not a daily driver comparing to my Pixel 7 Pro. Hence I do enjoy flashing the Mi Pad and glad that a 5 yrs old tablet still can be running on the latest Android 13.

    I've updated the latest rom after uninstalling all 32bit only apps. I'm able to re-install the 32bit only apps again without problems now. I don't know the exact reason why the re-installation is okay. It seems that re-installation of NikGapps in the dirty flash process may occur some discrepancy in the Play Store.

    Just for info - I do not dirty flash NikGapps each time, just LineageOS. Earlier versions of LineageOS for the MiPad did require NikGapps be flashed each time as well, but that requirement ended long ago.

    @stan79 When I do a dirty flash I reboot into TWRP and when it asks for the decryption code I ignore it and just select Cancel as one of the two options. I then get a message about using the default decryption key and then I can go to install and dirty flash the new version. You can test this yourself by booting into TWRP and selecting cancel and see what happens - you do not have to actually flash anything.

    Thanks @GregEden I just tried the step by pressing the cancel button.

    This is what I will see.

    When I click mount, realise that I cannot mount the usual internal sdcard folder except for the external sdcard. If I don't copy the rom file into the external sdcard, I won't be able to flash or I have to sideload it using a computer. Is that usual?

    Since my ROM got corrupted after dirty flash to 20Aug rom when I disabled my pattern passcode, I went ahead to clean flash and then dirty flash again using your recommended method. It worked.

    Somethings that I had observed... If I try to mount the internal storage, I will realise that all the folders will look like some random folder name...

    Back to ROM, as you can see under "Encryption and credentials" it is shown as "Encrypted". I always thought there is a way to keep this "Unencrypted".

    @stan79 hopefully you are all good now. I have had a few times over the journey when I have ended up in bootloops and spent hours fixing it up again. Wiping and clean installs. But that is the nature of going down this path . I often say to myself that when I have a working system that I will just not touch it again, but somehow I always end up updating! Mine is rock solid at the moment.

    I noticed that a while ago, but I've been using Magisk together which needs to be flashed every dirty update. For safer updating, I've re-installed NikGapps and Magisk till now after wiping system & vendor partition and updating ROM.
