[OFFICIAL] LineageOS 21 for Xiaomi Mi 6 (sagit)

[Marks_it]

I am using MGC_8.7.250_A11_V3. All cameras work. Use one of these. I recommend the newest version.

welcome, there is a bug in lineage-19.1-20230112-nightly-sagit-signed.

Second sim card is not showing up. You need to eject sim cards and insert them again and then its working. This is each time you restart your phone. My two sim cards have the same operator ( maybe that is problem ). In lineage 18.1 everything was ok.

Did you do an update from 18.1 or a full wipe? I had the same problem and it fixed itself after doing a full wipe and reinstall...

Yes I did dirty flash from 18.1 to 19.1. I dont want to do a full wipe, will try not to restart my phone too often

Did you have any problems with twrp recovery? Now I cant decrypt data in recovery. I have no password but twrp is asking for password. This problem is only in twrp. Updated twrp to 3.7.0 but still the same.

Yeah, I understand. It's really a pain to have to reinstall every time...

I have the same problem with TWRP... There are a couple of solutions online but I'm too lazy to try them.
I will stay on LOS19.1 for a while until I get tired of it and decide to reinstall from scratch. At the moment I'm not that motivated to upgrade as everything works great on 19.1.

I also dont want to make it worse. My plan is to install lineage 20 from scratch but not now. Maybe closer to end of this year thanks for your reply.

Hello!

I'm having problems with a clean install of LOS 20.0 + NikGApps Core + Magisk 25.2. When the smartphone goes into deep sleep, I stop receiving notifications and when I open any applications it closes after 1 second. What happen?

Thanks!

Maybe for now its better to use 19.1 and wait few months until this LOS 20 will be patched?

Hello,
I have a Xiaomi Mi6, and i want to install LineageOS onto it. I have played around and used CyanogenMod in past, so i have no big worry about installing the os, but i have questions about this. Reading on page one, i see its 18.1, but when i click the download link, i see that v20.x is there.
Is the newest confirmed version for the Xiaomi Mi6 the 18.1, or has it been updated to be able to run the v20.x?

Basically, i just dont want to download and play around with a version that does not work on my phone. I want to get rid of the xiaomi OS, cos of the bloatware that i cant remove, and i know the phone is old, but there are no options for me to buy a new one, and i like my mi6 alot for the size in hand, something phone makers are finally moving back towards (S22) but at a stupid high price. My Mi6 has a new battery and feel just like a new phone to me, apart from the OS.

So in short, which version of LineageOS am i looking to install on my Mi6 for the most painfree (bugfree) experience?

I have 19.1 and it's rock solid. This phone has been my daily driver since I bought it in 2017 and I have installed every LOS version available. I would say 19.1 has been the most stable of all. Every works for me, even dual sim. Obviosly with time it will come outdated as no more updates are being pushed, but by then LOS20 will be as good as LOS19.1 is now for me I hope.

Thank you for the reply.

Now i just need to work out how to install it, i havnt done this stuff since i had an LG G3.
I find the instructions confusing also, haha.

The plan is to factory reset the phone, and then before in time at least, i would hook up to a pc, and then load the OS onto the phone, and then with bootloader run it. But all videos i watch seem to make it like i download on phone and then install that way?

I normally do it from the phone but the first time you'll need a PC with Windows or Linux to push the recovery once you have unlock the phone. I don't remember exactly but it was very straightforward. I am no linux guru (just a regular windows user that happens to like linux more ) and it's very easy to install the tools you need directly from the command line, at least in Ubuntu. But there are lots of tutorials online and the instructions on LineageOS are ok. Just do it, it is not that complicated and there not that many things that can convert your phone into a paperweight

Today we will guide you on How to Unlock Bootloader on Xiaomi Mi6 Smartphones. So before installing TWRP, Xiaomi Mi6 smartphones should be unlocked. So here

Hello! In LOS 19.1 I can't find the wake screen for notifications settings. I want to disable this option but it doesn't appear.

 

[sdx615]

hi，There is a bug after Xiaomi 6 updates lineageos20. When the screen expires and stops automatically, it will automatically light up and keep repeating. But when I turn off the screen with the power button, this bright screen problem will not occur. Please correct this problem, thank you

The same thing happens in LOS 20. The screen wakes up with notifications and I don't know how to turn it off

 

[raalph1]

Is LOS 20 ready for daily use? or does it have still too many bugs?
