[ROM][DISCONTINUED] LineageOS 16.0 nightlies for Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S

[bgcngm]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (Pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

GPL compliance:

​

Compatibility:

Compatible with all Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S variants.​

Builds are based off the Xiaomi's Android 9 firmware with proprietary blobs from MIUI 8.10.25 dev package.​

Downloads:

• Official download links

Notice:

• No custom kernels are supported in this thread. Only stock kernel and official builds will be supported. No bug reports if that's not the case.

Installation:

• Reboot to recovery (TWRP recovery for Mi MIX 2S)
• Format /system, /data and /cache
• Install LineageOS zip package
  [*]Install [optional] the LineageOS su addon to get root (there are obviously other root methods, but this is the recommended one as it survives to OTA updates)
• Install [optional] a Google Apps package of your choice (Open GApps is advisable, but stock and super variants are not recommended!!!)

Important notes:​

• * Required * firmware version must be based on MIUI P-based builds.
• GApps can only be flashed on clean installs.
• Formatting data (all user data is wiped, including internal storage) is a must if MIUI was previously installed and device was encrypted.

Wow, thanks. Yesterday i unlock my bootloader. Im now in AOSIP, but maybe later try this one.

 

[Fingdow]

I wonder what are the differences between yours and notsyncing's. Is this version more stable?

 

[fabricio87878787]

I tried aosip and lineageos 16, I prefer los 16, although both roms are equally fluid. note that aosip spends a little more battery, although I used it very little. no proximity sensor works, it can also be used daily. for the camera I use the last bgc, I miss the functions of the stock camera, it is the only thing that is made of less than miui.

I am on latest xioami.eu miui 10 beta ROM< and it has also problems with proximity sensor while using phone calls. So it means it is general problem on PIE android.

No, in LOS it doesn't work at all as of now, in xiaomi.eu it may be unstable though on Pie Global miui it's getting better every release.

Thanks, and there is no possibility to instal MIUI kernel?

 

[juankgp]

Thank you very much it works really fine, I have two questions
Is possible to install weather provider for clock?
Is possible to select different ringtone for each SIM?
Thanks

Sorry for my English...

 

[akkk44]

is the second camera working?

Pixel Launcher doesn't work with this ROM, crashes at launch.
Magisk works but had to download and install manually Magisk Manager.
Boot is slower than Pixel Experience Pie but once it boots this ROM is faster overall.

 

[pedjamis]

This is great news. I was a long time Lineage user on my Mi5. Using Notsyncing build now on Mix2s because of working proximity sensor. Hope you get it working soon.

Confirms issue.

Also, Quick Charging seems broken... Getting only 500mA from stock wall charger and stock cable. Removed battery info from Recovery and got 1500mA, which is still far below normal; and it reverts to 500mA after reboot!

Also when I enter twrp the battery percentage shown there is usually 20% lower than in LOS. Bizzare.

Guess it could be issue with uncalibrated battery info. Will do a full cycle and see if things change.

 

[crucky]

For me Pixel Launcher from Playstore works just fine.And its normal that Magisk isnt pre installed

The notes state no:

"No custom kernels are supported in this thread. Only stock kernel and official builds will be supported. No bug reports if that's not the case."

Thanks Bruno for this! It's a rock solid ROM with excellent battery life and stability.

notsyncing's version is a GSI/Treble build. This is a true polaris Lineage OS build made specifically for our device.

 

[fab976]

Can anyone compare this build and the one from notsyncing for me? Which one is better and why? ? Thanks in advance!

 

[eboye]

Great! Thanks! I'll move from GSI to this ASAP ? I just wish it's official so I can have OTA ?

Will be official when time comes. But Xiaomi must release updated kernel source code so that we can have working proximity sensor.

Any insight please on the charging issue?
Always falls back to slow charging after reboot.
