[ROM][8.x][TREBLE][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS, ResurrectionRemix & more // personal builds

[AndyYan]

This thread was formerly "[ROM][8.1.0][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 15.1 [BETA][VoLTE]"

This thread hosts personal builds of LOS15.1 and other ROMs for Mix 2, built from @Cozzmy13 's and official LOS trees. It wouldn't have been possible without tremendous efforts from all the Mix 2 / Mi 6 devs behind the scene; I'm just building upon their awesome work and making choices available, so full credits to them.

Currently I build the following ROMs:

• LineageOS 15.1 (weekly, follows official LOS schedule)
• ResurrectionRemix 6 (weekly, follows official LOS schedule)
• AOSPExtended 5 (biweekly)
• PixelExperience 8.1 (biweekly)

My builds differentiate from official with some small changes:

• Default stretch-to-fullscreen (force apps to render in 18:9) - LOS official solution defaults to OFF, which complicates setup
• Full built-in root from LOS (when possible - enable from Developer options)
• Lollipop-esque lockscreen fonts (when possible)
• Grey-blue DeskClock color scheme (when possible)
• Navbar stays on the right side of the screen under 270° rotation
• System-level rounded corners overlay (size adjustable on RR), courtesy of @Arasthel

Do note that I build ROMs firstly for self use, so I make changes out of personal preferences, and it's my freedom to accept/reject features (e.g. I will not add gestures into LOS).

What's working / not:

• Refer to official LOS

Instructions:

• Coming from MIUI? Since the new encryption has been implemented, you only need to wipe (not format) /data.
• Flash an appropriate Oreo firmware - the current required version is 8.4.19.
• Download the latest build and optionally GAPPS
• Reboot to TWRP
• Flash the latest build, GAPPS and whatever other additions you need
• Reboot
• If you're stuck in bootanimation, manually reboot by holding POWER

Extras:

• Read here if you want to use unencrypted data
• Read here if you want to migrate between official/unofficial LOS

Downloads:

• SourceForge folder: https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan/files/ - final releases in the "8.x - Treble" folder
• AFH folder: https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=230017 - final releases in the "8.x - Treble-enabled" folder
• Root addon: not needed for LOS-based ROMs; use this Treble-enabled Magisk otherwise
• Google Apps : http://opengapps.org/

Hell yeah

 

[Drethis]

Thanks! I will give this a try.

 

[Gamerz_den]

Nice work man !!

Thanks for all the support for mi mix 2 ?

 

[CrazyBeaver2377]

Awesome AndyYan! I'm running Arasthel's LOS15.1 currently and have been running your LOS14.1 build prior.

Can you tell what the main differences are between this build and Arasthel's build? Is there no need to flash the kernel 2.zip that has been going around in the other Oreo topics?

Thanks very much for your work!

Edit: Running it now for a few hours, works great! Camera quality seems on par with Arasthel's LOS after flashing the kernel 2. One difference I noticed is that this build doesn't have the AOSP night mode, but only LOS LiveDisplay. The fast blinking led is also solved in this build, where I needed to tweak it on Arasthel's LOS build.

Great ROM, many thanks AndyVan. Only issue I have is proximity sensor is not working (I have Elliptic labs sensor).

@AndyYan

Glad to see you back with an Oreo version of LOS ! Been following telegram group since a bit and just switched to your release. Thanks for sharing ! I hope battery drain will be improved while roaming with this one. Will check tomorrow and report

Keep it up guys, your work is really appreciated !
Cheers.

I make a clean install. After the Startsscreen i can setup the language, then in the Next screen the setup Program crash. Any ideas?

Hello

This is more about the lineage 14.1 port. I was built a kernel from the lineage os repos. and I built one from the prebuilt and one from the mokee repos. but they all just boot loop on the mi logo. The kernel also seems to be around 2 megs smaller than the one in the zips but the ram disks are the same size. any idea what I might be doing wrong?

cheers

You installed GAPPS? I've been receiving reports of neither of the linked GAPPS work properly from some of my local mates (which isn't something I can do anything about, I don't even use GAPPS). The vanilla installation works fine on my side.

I've never built a standalone kernel. Since I don't think I'm building LOS14.1 anymore, I might as well just sticky the manifest I use here, might be of help:

so were you using the prebuilt kernel?

 

[AndyYan]

Awesome AndyYan! I'm running Arasthel's LOS15.1 currently and have been running your LOS14.1 build prior.

Can you tell what the main differences are between this build and Arasthel's build? Is there no need to flash the kernel 2.zip that has been going around in the other Oreo topics?

Thanks very much for your work!

Edit: Running it now for a few hours, works great! Camera quality seems on par with Arasthel's LOS after flashing the kernel 2. One difference I noticed is that this build doesn't have the AOSP night mode, but only LOS LiveDisplay. The fast blinking led is also solved in this build, where I needed to tweak it on Arasthel's LOS build.

Sorry for the late reply.
It has been quite a while since that last LOS15.1 build, during which Arasthel refined the source quite a bit, to the extent that you'd no longer need the prebuilt kernel for up-to-par camera and fixes for a bunch of stuff have been integrated. Try flashing again without it and see it for yourself.

 

[AndyYan]

so were you using the prebuilt kernel?

LOS14.1? Yeah. AFAIK OSS kernel for Nougat was experimented by hondajohn88 but ditched shortly after.

 

[m4r0v3r]

LOS14.1? Yeah. AFAIK OSS kernel for Nougat was experimented by hondajohn88 but ditched shortly after.

ahh fair enough, might have to base my work on top of the LOS 15.1 then

Thanks very much for your reply. Already running your build since yesterday, flashed with opengapps (working fine). Only difference I noticed is the AOSP night mode is missing, but LiveDisplay also works fine. Of course I also noticed the kernel changes, very nice! I love how fast Mix 2 development is going.

 

[Sard Shift]

Hi! Thanks for your continued support in building ROMs for us, I really appreciate it.

I was wondering if there'd be any chance of you making 100% stock LOS builds? I don't really have a need for root on my device and I would rather stick to the stock version if at all possible.

Again, I appreciate it! Thanks.

 

[Alsybub]

Hi,

Thanks for the great ROM! Everything is working well for me but, just one thing, is there any way to adjust the haptic feedback intensity/duration?

I find the dafault setting too intense compared to MIUI.

Thanks

Yes, read the startpost.

Do the following in TWRP (Most people here use Raupe's TWRP)

Format data
Flash oreo firmware
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot
