[ROM]LineageOS 19.1 - Xiaomi Mi 8

[ndonkersloot]

Do we get the original apps like caller, recorder of MIUI when using this ROM?
I use the automatic call function with automated recorded file backup to Xiaomi cloud.

If not can they be installed and be fully functional on this ROM?

No, not possible.

I flashed the latest global firmware, but the lags are still present.

However, I noticed that the problem disappears when I turn on the battery saver. Probably some background process is causing the lag. Probably the problem lies in GApps.

This is super interesting. Sadly, I switched back to MIUI 12.5.2 as I will need some stability in the coming weeks. If this fixes the problem with the lag I was having (even after having flashed the global fw someone recommended) I will surely go back to LOS.

Could you get logs before and after you turn off battery saver and send the logs to @infrag ? I was going to send logs but again, switched back to miui eu 12.5.2

I flashed 2 different mi8's but haven't noticed any issue regarding mic. or lag. Everything is perfect.

They are both originally from China, one 64gb and the other 128gb. Flashed them this way (commands not exact but to clearify the steps I used)

1. Fastboot flash recovery lineageos19.1-recovery.IMG
2. Boot into recovery and wipe everything (data, system, cache).
3. adb sideload fw-global (this one: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/dipper/stable/V12.0.3.0.QEAMIXM/)
4. adb sideload lineageos19.1
5. adb sideload mindthegapps
6. Reboot
7. Profit?

I first used twrp to flash but that didn't go well. Mindthegapps would constantly crash and ota update would boot loop. With lineageos recovery everything is great.

Hi,

I don't know if it will happen to someone else, but the icons overlap each other in the notification bar, this did not happen in lineageos 18.1

Greetings.

Happened on all Android 12.1 ROMs I tried so far.

I merged a patch and fixed this in my own lineageos build

I will try it later. I still have other works to do. If you like , here is the patch

I don't know why lineageos did not merge this

Hi all, is it somehow possible to increase the in-call sound volume?
I tried to follow some tutorials about increasing the value in /vendor/etc/mixer_path_tavil.xml file, but the RX0 Digital Volume entry does not exist there in my case. I tried to append such line, but it didn't resolve the issue. Is there any other option? Thanks in advance

When dialing a mobile phone number, the default option is video call when connected.
How to set it to default voice call?

I've upgraded recently to 19.1 with mind-the-gapps and magisk manager. Everything went fine, but now I can't decrypt data in recovery: I've tried latest magisk, orange fox and lineage's own recovery. None of them asks for my PIN and the content of data stays encrypted. Is there any solution?

Yesterday I upgraded my former Mi8. I noticed that the symbols on the right in the status bar are positioned unfavorably.
If everything is shifted a little more to the right then 4 symbols also fit perfectly.
Otherwise everything works and the new owner is happy.

The pixel experience .zip rom flashes its own firmware, according to some is China one, overwriting previous firmware.
