[ROM][10.0][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 17.1 for Mix 3 5G [andromeda]

[Groctel]

I completely formatted the phone for the July 18th update (had to enable encryption) and I've been experiencing a very low microphone volume since then, like half or quarter the volume you would expect in both calls and other apps mic input. Has this problem happend to anybody and/or is there a way to fix it through the system's Linux terminal?

Inkypen, you've been my hero since I got this phone and realised how poorly supported it is by Xiaomi. So thank you.

I flashed the 18th July update and would like to move to the most recent version.
What is the quickest way to go about updating? I'm guessing that I can't just flash the ROM without losing all of my data, I hope I'm wrong though.

August security patch has been merged. There has been a huge amount of work on bug fixes, here are some of the more important ones

4k/30fps video recording is now supported in the native camera app.
Gcam ports now work properly, giving 4k/60fps video recording. I tested this https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/MGC_7.4.104_Parrot043-v1.apk and everything works perfectly.
Power off battery charging now works.
Phone not entering deep sleep with Always On Display activated is fixed.
Display stack now built from source, which fixes all colour profile issues and gives a more vivid display.

You can directly flash this update without formatting data if you're on an encrypted build. If you're on an unencrypted build you will have to clean flash and FORMAT (not wipe) your internal storage. Not sure what build you're own? Go to the Security tab in Settings and check "Encryption and credentials"

Many thanks.. I found it very quick and easy to update. I have another question which I hope you don't mind...I am on a 5G enabled network (3 UK) although I'm not getting 5G speeds. Is that something to do with the modem firmware zip?

I'm also in the UK on EE and I get 5G, even shows 5G in the status bar. It's recommended to flash the firmware zip so that everyone is on the same page, and you only need to flash it once then you can forget about it.

I have now flashed the recommended firmware zip.

No option for 5G in the Preffered network type menu, it only gives options for 4G (recommended), 3G & 2G. Possibly because my region isn't covered by 3's 5G yet. Would 5G be on the Preffered network type menu either way or only if there is coverage?

I noticed that Settings - System crashes and goes back to previous screen or a close app window appears, the menu is inaccessible. I didnt try opening that on the 18th July update so I can't say whether it worked before.

It works very smoothly for me otherwise. Thanks again

just bought the phone today and going through the rom threads(last time i played with a custom rom was with my op3t)......kudos to inky for this awesome work...

5g on three network is a scam...my phone shows 5g and all i m getting is 5-10 megs...same with my cousins s20+.....their 4g on some bands and hsdpa gives better speed....seems like they r throttling the speeds...

 

[jkeerthan]

Can confirm 5g isn't working(three).....it was working on miui.
Flashed the last build with 66hz mod.
Glad I did this.
And also can confirm Barclays banking app works.

5G is not working for me either (Vodafone Spain, and it was working with MIUI). I flashed the recommended firmware, and still no 5G option in the preferred network type.

 

[casanova2020]

I can confirm the same, 5G not working (Uk - Vodafone ). working with earlier MIUI build. Also Its not showing me the option to select 5G.

 

[Inkypen]

There is no option to select 5G in preferred network because of the type of modem used. The Mix 3 5G uses NSA 5G (Not Stand Alone) as opposed to SA 5G (Stand Alone) which means it uses a 4G cell as an anchor point to the 5G network. We are using the AOSP telephony stack here, not whatever Xiaomi hacked together for MIUI.

I personally get a 5G symbol appearing on my status bar along with roughly triple my 4G download speeds when I'm in a 5G area. Plenty of users in the Mix 3 5G telegram group have also confirmed 5G is working for them.

If it's not working for you, I don't know what to say! It's working for me and confirmed by other users

 

[jkeerthan]

and one more thing...AOD seems to go into full brightness as soon as you lock the screen, is there any fix for this?

 

[Mweatm]

This is working very well indeed. Good battery life and smooth very smooth experience. MicroG and Magisk have given me no problems at all now. Any problems I previously had were my fault for not following the guide to the word. I haven't test Three's 5G in a 5G region yet but 4G hits 80MB/s with ease. Thanks again Inkypen

How did you install microG?

 

[Mweatm]

I used this guide, I believe.

Is signature spoofing working? I am not able to make it work

Try the FakeGapps module with EdXposed

Try the FakeGapps module with EdXposed

Yes, I tried like that. microG was working, but the apps were not "seeing" the google account, and kept asking me to add an account...

 

[Mweatm]

I'm an amateur so my advice isn't exactly reliable I just follow guides with trial and error. Errors have forced me into using MIFlash a few times to stock in order to start again. I can tell you is WhatsApp is working for me along with Waze. MicroG healthcheck has every box checked except the bottom location.

Magisk modules - Busybox, Cloudflare, Magisk hide, Nanodroid, Riru core, Riruxposed.

EdXposed - EdExposed Manager, Fake Gapps, Lucky Patcher.

OMG You're right... Although there is no 5G option it connects to 5G networks (at least Vodafone Spain). Thanks!
