The Mi Note 10 Lite (toco) has been with us for not that long but has proved to be a pretty awesome device. There is also not much development on the device as at the time of writing this article but @mauronofrio has managed to build a Test-TWRP that you can learn more about HERE. Toco launched with Android 10 out of the box which brings about dynamic partitioning which TWRP has not yet supported. The good thing is that this has not prevented us from being able to tinker with the device once you have the bootloader unlocked. I have managed to set up a GSI on my unit and I will lay out the process I followed here for any other user who want to try.

GSI Fixes

1. Audio Stutter Fix

• This is the first, simple and MOST RECOMMEDED method to fix Audio Stutter is to navigate to Settings > Phh Treble Settings > Misc features > and tick the "Disable audio effects" option as shown with the attached image. This method will have all the audio working including the Bluetooth Audio. I fiddled with the various options and got to this fix and thank you to @alex.msk-dev for testing to confirm this fix. 09/07/2020

Seems you have a driver issue that is why you are stuck at that waiting message. I faced a similar issue and what I did was to disable driver signature enforcement on my Windows 10 and then installing the drivers. You can also substitute the fastboot -w command with going to the stock recovery and performing a factory reset.

OK Thank you, I now have the HavocOS v.3.6 rom on it, but I can't get it to copy the adaptive brightness fix, I'm using Root Explorer, it has root rights, my device is also rooted, what am I doing wrong?

The fix is a Magisk Module so install it in Magisk
