[ROM]LineageOS 20 - Xiaomi Mi 8

[bboytaione]

I have the same issue with lag (volume slider/notification menu when sliding down/general system slowdown). It looks like it'll happen indiscriminately, it doesn't matter what apps you use.

Additionally, I'm having slight battery drain issues. Let's see if today's update helps in any way. Could it be a gapps issue?

So, still have lag. But now it feels like different system parts are the ones that lag. It is so strange. At one point, I thought it may have been because of the WebView build included in LOS, but no. After updating to the beta version of WebView, I still have lag.

Could someone with ZERO GAPPS verify if they also have random lag?

Opengapps doesnt support android 12?
Did you use twrp or lineageos recovery?

Right, Apologies. I meant MimdTheGapps. I got used to flashing opengapps on lineage 18.1

When will the microphone be fixed?

From what I understand and from my own experience, the issue has already been fixed. The mic is no longer that sensitive. I'm finally able to use the mic to transcribe properly for example, whereas I wasn't able to do it before

Flashing clean, I am in a noisy place, the sound from the microphone is broadcast to the upper speaker, it is impossible to talk

New build today 23/06.

@infrag Hello, is there a reason why f2fs is not supported for dipper ? Can you enable it ?

Not going to be included.
If your after stuff like that feel free to use a different kernel but dont report problems with it here please

Google pay that worked in unofficial build doesn't work in official.
Tried with latest Magisk, Universal SafetyNet fix and adding Google Pay and Google play services to deny list. But it didn't help.
Other apps such as Revolut work normally after applying these settings to them. But it looks like Google Pay is a tough animal.

Custom kernels that hide safteynet unlock on kernel still work fine for dipper.
Its a lot easier than using magisk etc.

Same, didn't need to input my password. Maybe TWRP couldn't decrpyt the data partition and therefore broke it?

TWRP cant unencrypt data on android 12.
This may get fixed at some point but for now it is how it is.

I've used lineage 19.1 for a long time and have not had any of the lags you are describing.
I have no idea how to replicate the problems you say you are having.
Do you happen to have any logs?

Is Lineage Recovery any different? Otherwise, how would OTAs get flashed correctly?

Lineage Recovery, like your left hand touches right hand.
Lineage recovery all is OK except not beautiful, don't hesitate to change.

Thank you for responding and hard work on maintaining LineageOS for Dipper!

Could you recommend any for Android 12?
I would also like to see if it fixes the UI stutter.

I will try and take logs to send to you. There is another user here who also has lag/UI stutter

What specific type of log shall I provide you to help @infrag ?

Logcat? Dumpsys of gfxinfo?

In the meantime, here are some logcat root logs. I was running spotify in background (music playing) and Google maps with navigation in foreground. Music was lagging from time to time.
I'm not an expert with android or kernel development, but I can see some audio errors.

What firmware version are you using?

 

[Silac_8]

What firmware version are you using?

I switched from the latest Xiaomi.eu version which is 12.5.2.0
Should I try to install latest firmware version from this forum (12.0.x) and retry installing Lineage?

re-installing probably wont make a difference.
I vaguely recall having an issue like that but flashing a different firmware fixed that problem.

Wow. @infrag, you are my hero! Flashed firmware from 12.0.3.0 Chinese and it fixed audio stutter (install 12.0.3.0 version depending on your phone version - chinese or global - if unsure, flash global).

Y'all can find firmware here (60+ mb).

Or just install latest it firmware from this topic.

Could this possibly fix that weird ui lag you and I have been having? Please keep me updated!!

I know it may be unrelated but it's just strange that others, for example @infrag , isn't seeing this type of lag. We must be doing something wrong as a user

It seems that UI lags are history as well. I hope that random restarts are gone too.
I'll report back if I see any.

You can flash firmware through recovery if you want. No rom reflash is needed, no cache clear, no data loss - it's completely safe.
