[ROM][DISCONTINUED] LineageOS 18.1 for Xiaomi Mi 5

[chhapil]

So, just an heads-up. I am going to promote Mi 5 (gemini) to start getting A12 based builds. BIG WARNING: you will need to wipe userdata because we have switched from FDE to FBE. F2FS is no longer supported either.

Will be eagerly awaiting!!

@bgcngm
First thanks for porting the LOS 19.1 to the Mi5.

Would you consider maintaining this 18.1 rom for the security updates for some time?
It's running nicely and it doesn't suffer from any major drawbacks. It doesn't require any 4.4 kernel porting, which unfortunately had bugs on the Mi5. The camera works as expected.
Moreover many users (including me) don't feel comfortable with the Android 12 interface.
I think the LOS team should maintain the 18.1 branch as long as possible.

It's hard to please everyone, I have learned that throughout the years, but I must be honest. I have no intention in maintaining what is soon going to be considered a legacy branch.

I can't blame you, because you have been doing a great work.

I hope that someone else reading here will take over the building process of the 18.1 branch.
From what I see it is still kept updated with the security fixes.
I would try to build it myself but my PC has very low specs, at least for this kind of stuff.

Very very low specs? Even if it takes few hours to make a build you would only need to make one per month.

Hello Bruno,

From what I see here and there, I can't build the 18.1 branch on a 8GB RAM machine, without dealing with errors.
Moreover I only have 2 old laptops with mobile i7 processors (62xx and 26xx) and HDD. And they easily oveheat, making them unusable.
I remeber building an old Android 5 rom took like 5 hours on my i7-26xx.

Can you tell me one thing? Are you allowed to keep the 18.1 build server up, even without doing any active development on the device tree and the kernel? Is that allowed by the LOS team?
Even a few months of updates would be useful, while the 19.1 development goes ahead.
Anyway thanks again for your work.
