Yes
You can't. Our device doesn't allow post installation modules like gapps. I tried, so shipping with gapps is the only way here.
It's the limitation of A/B partitioning & offcourse, TWRP is still in alpha, bcaz TWRP is yet to release A11 codebase....Nebrassy did a great job building TWRP without it.Sorry for bothering, but I'm thinking about buying this phone(current one is a Moto G 2013) and decided to check how's the development of custom roms going, and I'm kinda confused by what this mean:
Like, is this a limitation because the phone is too recent and there isn 't 100% support for TWRP/Custom Roms, or is this because Xiaomi did something stupid while designing the phone?
The same questions applies for why you said it would be difficult to make the ROM Official
It's a limitation that will never be lifted? I'm unfamiliar with how things are going right now in terms of custom roms(again, I still use a 2013 phone), but it appears that LineageOS is officially supported on some A/B Devices(and I've found mentions of flashing Magisk on them), so is it fair to assume that eventually the Redmi Note 10 will receive official support AND be able to support flashing of post installation modules, like OpenGAPPS/Magisk(or whatever is relevant in the future)?It's the limitation of A/B partitioning & offcourse, TWRP is still in alpha, bcaz TWRP is yet to release A11 codebase....Nebrassy did a great job building TWRP without it.
Officializing the ROM is difficult only for Lineage.
I already made crDroid official, u can check in it's thread.
a/b partitioning isn't a limitation, that's just misleading. a/b partitioning is rather something new that rom and tool developers have to adjust to. the beginning is always difficult. but if devs have learned how to use it and what it does it could actually be beneficial for development.It's a limitation that will never be lifted?

Sorry for the inconvenience. It was a mistake (uploaded gapps as vanilla). I re-uploaded it.VANILLA Lineage 2021-06-12 is not VANILLA, GAPPS inside. Snap camera is absent. Gallery2 is absent. There are third-party APKs. The author, I respect your work, but why you are doing this is unclear. LineageOS is so good that she is clean. No need to add anything extraneous or remove anything. Who needs GAPPs uses PE and others ROMs.
Thanks!Sorry for the inconvenience. It was a mistake (uploaded gapps as vanilla). I re-uploaded it.
It's userdebug. I'll look into this prob.@MPK99 is this kind of a debug build? I tried everything, esp. the ro.debugging and persist.sys(/vendor).usb.config props to disable usb debugging on reboot, but nothing workds.
even with developer options disabled, usb debugging gets re-enabled on every restart.
is ist possible to make a build that doesn't have this behaviour?
Lineage OS is already a stable system and does what it does.... My only suggestion besides the volume boost is to also enable adding columns / rows to the quick settings tiles.

I think that process is only for unlocking your bootloader. I had to do it before flashing any roms. It took 7 days. Then you can flash any recovery or rom after that. and for that you do need a MI account and sim inserted in the phone. After my bootloader unlock request i took the sim out and used my other phone lol. but you can still go about using it normally day to day.Some tutorials on how to install this ROM state that you'll need a Mi account to do so (and also that you need to wait two weeks for the "official" unlock process to succeed!) Some settings in the "developer options" section also require a Mi account.
My question, then, is if I actually need such an account. The installation instructions at the beginning of this thread don't mention anything about this, so I'm guessing such an account is not strictly required. Furthermore, I also wonder if you're actually required to use official xiaomi tools to get the phone "ROM ready" (as the tutorial above describes), or if you can just use fairly standard tools and procedures (e.g. adb + twrp or whatever) to install this rom.
Thanks!
