You will have to root it, then flash safetynet fix and tinker a little in Magisk settings, but it's easy and there are guides on the internet on how to do it.
[ROM]LineageOS 20 - Xiaomi Mi 8
- Thread starter infrag
- Start date
Yeah i ve done it to PE but the banking even if i hide root don't work as expected. The fingerprint even if i set it up and work a couple of times then the app turn of the setting. Not something major..
Just a message to say thanks to the all maintainers for keeping that devices alive.
It's the first time I kept a smartphone THAT long (5 years?) and I hope it will continue as I'm not confident enough to try to do build Lineage myself.

Could someone let me know if Google pay is working correctly? and if Google Play recognizes the device as certified? I intend to use the Rom daily without root!
EI'm wanting to use this ROM for daily use, and I have some questions Do I need to root it? (!Only if you want to use the correct Google Pay) otherwise I can use it normally that all apps will work after installing GAPPS, right?
I just tried this rom, but with root. Everything worked for me except the banking apps oc.
However I hear some noise when I making phone calls but its not a big deal - yet.
But I dont like the bulk design of the AOSP QS and the UI. So I thinking to going back to stock again.
Found some minor bugs:
- Pulling down the quick settings menu and long-pressing on the settings gear icon does not work for reaching theme ui - where u can modify the QS setting.
- There is a missing switch at the battery manager where you can switch "smart" charging.
However the usbC port started to wear off and not just for me. I think this phone will die soon.

I would like to tell you briefly about my experience. I also had the problem with sound stuttering. Mainly when I was using Android Auto. @Silac_8, your tip about flashing the firmware has also led to success for me. Odd thing is, I already had the latest firmware on my MI8 (LineageOS 20, latest MindTheGApps, latest Magisk) before, which I installed over again. Still, after flashing, the stuttering sound in Android Auto was gone and never came back.
Here's how I went about it:
- Check if you need the global or Chinese firmware (based on the IMEI): here
- Download the latest stable firmware here
adb reboot recoveryadb sideload fw_dipper_miui_MI8_V12.5.2.0.QEACNXM_f5ec813d1c_10.0.zip(in my case the Chinese version)- Reboot and meanwhile keep your fingers crossed that the problem is fixed.
No, It wasn't th at. All gapps permissions for Wi-Fi were turned off. This happens to me in two phones with every LOS20 update. I got to reinstall gapps and then reconfigure all aplicacionts to enable wifi permissions.
Took me quite some time to find it tho
I was already using NikGapps in first instance. It's fixed now tho, said the solution in my latest post
Why is there bow a vbmeta and boot file on the lineage page for dipper ? In the tutorial there is no need for these files.
does this rom v20 a13 support back? I saw that there is function, but is it really working?
Does incoming caller id work over this? Previously didn't work for me using this or WiFi calling with Vodafone UK. Only shows callers number on 2G or 3G
Thanks for your information. I tried installing different gapps version (using NikGapps) and couldnt fix it.
When I update the ROM, I lose Magisk, and from the console output of Recovery, it seems that the survival script did not run successfully and it could not find the Magisk binary.

33Please note: I no longer maintain this ROM as my phone screen has cracked and I've moved on to a different device. Bgncm will probably continue to maintain it for mi8 as its similar to his other devices. Thanks for those that supported in the past and perhaps we will meet again in the future on a different device.
LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.
GPL compliance:

Yes. NFC should now work fine in official builds so now can be promoted to 19.1 builds once accepted. I've lodged the request so should hopefully not be too far away.8DDeleted member 12134985Last year I figured out the cause of the issue and I informed Qualcomm and Linux kernel maintainers, I didn't want to keep you folk waiting for them to fix it so I'd made a temporary fix.
It seems that they have fixed it in both the upstream kernel and the CLA audio-kernel now, but they didn't backport it to a sdm845 tag!
I've made an experimental build with the required fixes backported. If all goes well, I'll submit a patch to Lineage Gerrit.
I've attached the build below, you'll have to flash it as a boot.img via recovery or fastboot, let me know if it fixes the problem.
I haven't had much time to test it, so make sure you're on lineage-20.0-20230216.
