Development [ROM][OFFICIAL][alioth][13] LineageOS 20 for POCO F3/Mi 11X/Redmi K40

[Lex_Michdeandroid]

Well there you go. Hardware is fine (you said that), ROM works fine (other users reported it works). Guess the only thing left is the procedure. Take a break, free your mind, start over with patience, you will get there.

It seems as if people here don't really care about why it doesn't work as it should.

I followed that. I still got the fingerprint problem.

You sure you also did this (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/alioth/fw_update/variant1) portion of the procedure?

As I asked before, is that step necessary when you are already on the updated OFW POCO F3 EEA - V14.0.7.0.TKHEUXM?

Because I was running that FW already and because of that I skipped it. Thats what the guide says, or at least my interpretation of the following:

Warning: Before following these instructions please ensure that the device is currently using the firmware version mentioned below. If your current installation is newer or older than the required version, please upgrade or downgrade to the required version before proceeding by following this guide.

I'll be doing the FW install/replacement later to see if it fixes it. But if that step is required even when MIUI says you're on the right FW, maybe the step shouldn't be optional.

Dno man. I would try it if I were you

My phone came "from factory" with POCO F3 EEA - V14.0.7.0.TKHEUXM, should I try the Global one or would that give me problems?

I thought I could skip this step because my phone already had the right version installed. Not sure if I should try to reinstall that same EEA version.

There is no harm in trying and also try with Global firmware

 

[Lex_Michdeandroid]

Flashed the entire bundle of https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/alioth/fw_update/variant1 > EEA (because that's what it came with).

Now I can't finish the adding of a fingerprint, because it's "Timed out". Now going to do a few reboots to see if it helps. If not, I'll try the GLOBAL bundle.

-edit- After another reboot the fingerprint got accepted. Another reboot, and the fingerprint didn't dissappear. So it's working now.

So even if you're on the correct firmware, you should flash the firmware mentioned (it will not reset or wipe the device). Seems like it's not an optional step, at least not on my EEA device.

Still struggling with the Gallery being completely random, not chronological... And the camera app is not able to use the full potential of the main lens (48MP) and it's not able to use the other two lenses. I found the other two lenses, that was indeed a classic case of "- user error: replace user -"

Sorry to say that but it seems you are the problem and not the device or the ROM. Stop whining and do everything the official guides are saying and you will be good. Easy as that...

Thanks for your helpful comment. We'll take it up with the Karen department and make sure you are heard.

lol good luck with your problem!

For now, you can set the photos at 16:9. Might not be optimal but greatly increases the resolution.

The timed out is a general Android problem. Shortly after a reboot it works better in my experience.

Hi everyone!

Flashed yesterday the 20230603 build from a clean flash and the recommended v14 global version firmware and everything works great except that I cannot answer calls. I can make it and everything works well (even the proximity sensor seems to be much more accurate than it was in the 18.1 version) but if I receive a call the notification does not appear, the phone sounds but there is no way to answer it. I look in the permissions and everything seems fine. Anybody have this problem?

Thanks for the amazing work!

 

[CHGICEMAN]

I installed the dialer from google. Why don't you try it?!

Did you flash gapps? I faced this problem once in the past with other rom and the reason was I didn't flash gapps and stock dialer was buggy, google dialer never has this issue.

Yes, I flashed the recommended Gapps package (mindthegapps arm64) but I always use the LOS dialer, I don't see the point to switch to Google's one if this one works as expected. I really like the lightweight applications from LOS.

I found out that by installing Google's dialer and setting it as default works as expected and if I revert the change to LOS dialer it also works. But after a reboot the LOS dialer stops from working again. I guess that I will keep both until it start to work as intended.

Did they take out the option to use the power button to take a picture? Or am I being an idiot again?

You can enable double click on power button to open camera, and use volume buttons to take the picture. I cannot find an option to take picture with power button, was it present in previous versions?

I have used the power button as the shutter for as long as I can remember. And the volume keys are for zoom, obviously... But I just came from a OnePlus 5T on LOS18, and since then they have taken out a ton of useful features;

I can't find the built in Terminal app anymore.
The built in email app has gone.
There's no more network speed in the notification bar.
You can't choose your own menu colors.
Only 4 buttons in the quick drop down notification bar...

I guess it's LOS devs or Android devs doing what they do best again... It's a shame that the aosp/los is going backwards, I don't understand who makes those choices. I would love to ask that person what is the point.

Hi, thanks guys for helping me before. Now , I am running LOS20 without any problem (for now).

I would like to seek your opinion / answer, is it possible to update graphic driver thru LOS recovery -> apply update -> adb sideload?



Tks

hi, I installed LOS 20 recently and the first time I see something like this for the time. For some reason, Google Chrome does not see the Internet connection and Gmail synchronization requests. An account already deleted and authoritively again, did not help. Also after reboot reset fingerprint and i have to configure again. What can i do in this case?
