[ROM][DISCONTINUED] LineageOS 18.1 for Xiaomi Poco F1

[senpaidev]

2022 05 21 installed, got bootloop, anyone else ??
(Twrp came up ok but would not install from sd card or
restore, had to factory reset).

Was facing similar issues in the beginning. Would suggest you use lineage recovery instead of twrp.

Installed latest weekly today. No big change on a first look. Graphical issues on notification bar are still there, not a big issue though
The first time I was scared if disappearing magisk but sideloading it will revert all the setup as it was before the rom update, including whitelist and modules. So also that is not a big issue I would say, the only disadvantage is that it's better not to update while you're not at home...

I thought the PIN / PW requirement appeared also with a clean install. That explains a lot thx!

Successfully installed 05 -21 update on a FDE device using TWRP. What I did was downloaded the los zip and the mindthegapps zip then flashed them on TWRP.

I have tried the older updates, 05-07 and 05-14, both didnt prompt for the pin/password on boot and then bootlooped.

I think they finally made FDE support work on the 5-21 update.

I have done a clean installation of the 14/05 build with lineage recovery. Today, I upgraded to the latest build but my phone hangs after I enter pin and get the home screen and later restarts, maybe boot loop.

Does anyone else face this issue with the latest build? or what is the solution?

A Problem wich I had a few months ago (also with LOS 17.1): when the phone is lightly used (in my warm hands oder in the sun), the fast charge mode does not activate. Just when the phone isn't in use or I cool it with an ice pack the fast charge mode runs normally. May this problem caused by a broken temperatur sensor, battery oder usb-port? My wifes phone (also poco f1) doesn't have this issues. Navigating in the car for a few ours in the blazing sun is not a problem and the phone charges fast.

Thanks a lot.

What do you mean?

I mean I have successfully updated my FDE 18.1 to 19.1 pocof1 without wiping /data. All my settings have been preserved. Provided more in the new 19.1 thread quoted above.

Yes, it's supposed to be like that. Although, I am a bit surprised to see people still using FDE.

I used it purely accidentally for a while - if you never reformat internal storage after switching from MIUI it's apparently the default. Don't know why one would actively try to keep it though.

Well from a security design point of view FBE is damn poor, especially if like me you have an unlocked bootloader to allow you to install a third party OS and packages.

One big no nos with FBE is it's up to applications to decide what they want to encrypt, so if I save data vital to me in FBE then the application I'm using decides it's not encrypting, my original reading was even things like WiFi passwords weren't encrypted.

Even encrypted FBE data is vulnerable, say I flashed my device with a new firmware to open this up. Or can get into my phone somehow after boot (adb or a flaw on the OS). This has all happened in the past on different devices and OSs.

With FDE everything is encrypted and I'm not reliant on some nasty encryption enclave chip to give out the key, these have been found to have flaws in the past too.

I have FDE set so my boot password is quite long and my unlock password is shortish. So you can't flash a new firmware to get into my device, everything is encrypted. All my files, irrespective of application are encrypted. This is strong from a security perspective (LUKS is well known technology). The security level is under my control.

FBE is okay with a locked bootloader and you really care about not missing alarms calls, but to be honest how often does your phone crash? FDE used to also make a noise if a password wasn't entered for a long period. FBE is also less hassle for users as no complex password to enter at boot.

Happy to be corrected on FBE.

But to be honest the only people that probably should be happy about FBE are government agencies. Much easier to get data from a device that always boots up than one stuck at a LUKS password prompt.

Are the SMS delivery reports working with default sms app?

With my Pocophone F1 on LineageOS 18.1 and on wifes Pocophone F1 LineageOS 17.1 not working

Is there a solution now that the app does not allow saving on the SD card?
I can easily access and save the SDCard via the file manager.
