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

[GeForce66]

Wrong. These are the currently known problems:

1. Problem with the split screen.

2. In addition, the battery icon in the status bar is visible when you have chosen the battery percentage as an option and swiped down the quick settings.

3. In addition, the recent screen is not responsive and you have to swipe two or three times before you can close an app, with gestures enabled and the navigation hint disabled.

4. It is also not possible to hide the data-saving icon in the status bar.

5. Finally, European languages are missing for the AOSP- keyboard, such as Dutch and all the other world-languag

Okay, maybe I should have stated that for my usage I didn't come across any major issues
Of course there are issues but I think they are not a deal breaker for daily usage.

I have a similar impression after one week of regular use:

• Some minor glitches, mostly cosmetics
• No lacking functions or bugs that affect my use case

But to be honest: also nothing I would classify as "noticably better" vs los18.
So if you don't have a problem with having a security patch level not fully up to date, I guess you might as well stick to los18 a little while longer. But eventually you'll want to do the switch anyways, as los18 will get more and more outdated because it is not maintained any more

Fyi: just updated to the new build from today via OTA:
Everything went smoothly, device seems to be running as intended, all looking good so far. Security string updated to May 05 2022

Installed 05 14, works fine.
Computer (USB) only recognizes Poco F1 while Twrp is active. (Works normally for Moto G7+) ??
Also Twrp will not retain 'Settings'.
Any thoughts?

LOS recovery works. Though maybe not like TWRP. With every OTA update root is lost so far. TWRP patched the image automatically when performing OTA update. Apparently LOS recovery does not. Can anyone confirm?

Also Twrp will not retain 'Settings'.
Any thoughts?

Here it says Android 12 is not supported yet: https://twrp.me/site/update/2022/03/10/twrp-3.6.1-released.html

Just updated to latest lineage 19.1, clean install. My home app (pixel launcher) isn't working at all.

Use default launcher, ruthless or lawnchair.

I want to share my upgrade path with you because the posts here made me a bit unsure to upgrade. I was on TWRP recovery and encrypted LineageOS 18.1 without root and magisk etc. My upgrade path was:
1. flash LineageOS recovery
2. sideloading LineageOS 19.1 rom
3. sideloading MindTheGapps package
4. rebooting
5. enjoying android 12
Thank you thank you very much LineageOS Team for working on it.

Hello,

One quick question: I'm currently with mindthegapps google apps and I started feeling the pressure of my cloud storage getting filled.

I was thinking of moving back to Nikgapps but I remember I was told there are some issues with Lineage. Could you please tell me what's wrong with that?

Any recommended procedure for switching to Nikgapps without losing apps and data?

Thanks

Was this an FDE device at all?
Starting to think that FDE is never going to work with 19.1...how long do I waiit to see is now the question.

Would like to know as well, if I had to guess it was an FBE.

Even though there were commits made that strongly suggest to adress FDE compatibility, judging by some posts here it does not work (yet).

I didn't switch encryption so it has to be FDE.

Can you install the app "Termux" and type "getprop ro.crypto.type" if you have the chance? It should tell you if it is file based or disk based.

Then we could confirm 19.1 works with full device encryption too.

Ok then you have FDE, so 19.1 actually supports it hurray
Then some people here bootloop for other reasons.

for me it failed before. just tried again with the latest build from 2022-05-14, still hangs after boot back on 18 again...

Sorry to hear that :/
But then what is causing the bootloops ...

Are you using the "secure startup" option where you have to enter your pin or pattern during boot? During my trial runs FDE was also working when secure startup was disabled, but after enabling it I got bootloop again

 

[mwayne]

No secure startup
