[ROM][OFFICIAL][ginkgo][10] LineageOS 17.1 for Redmi Note 8 / 8T

[sjohannes]

Hi,
The ROM work perfectly but the battery drains way to fast. On normal usage "listening podcast, checking mails, WhatsApp" the battery is low after 3/4 of a day. When I use maps in the car, the battery drains even faster that it's possible to load via USB.

I did a clean install without root, with opengapps Pico and no restoring via titanium.

 

[pastapesto]

maybe it could be the firmware... i had similar problem passing from 17.1 to 18.1, see my post...

thanks for your reply. one more question. did you set up all new before flashing, wipe factory reset and so on, or is it possible to boot into recovery and flash the old firmware "over the new firmware", then reboot and LOS works fine?

I flashed only the firmware and everything worked (then I went to another ROM because I prefer TWRP recovery, however I tested everything was working...)

My xiaomi 8 won't boot into lineageOS unless i have my sim in it.
I tried a different simcard but same problem. It's almost as it knows which simcard is in it.

without sim card - When it boots it gets to the lineageOS logo then reboots.
with different simcard - boots into welcome screen then freezes and reboots

Did xiaomi start linking phone numbers to phones in order to boot into them?



What is your--
LineageOS version: lineage-17.1-20210927-nightly-ginkgo-signed.zip
LineageOS Download url: https://download.lineageos.org/ginkgo
Gapps version: im not using gapps

Did you--
wipe: yes
restore with titanium backup: no
reboot after having the issue:

Are you using--
a task killer: no
a non-stock kernel: im using lineageOS 17.1
other modifications: lineage-17.1-20210927-recovery-ginkgo.img

Provide any additional information (observations/frequency of problem/last version it worked on/etc) as needed:

If i put in the simcard that works, boot into lineageOS then put the phone into airplane i can reboot and it boots into lineageOS fine. But as soon as i take it off airplane off. It freezes and reboots then just reboots over and over again.

I wont work with anyother simcard. Only the simcard which i unlocked the phone with when i first bought it,

Hi,

I recently got some hearing aids. I tried to look for a way to connect them to my Redmi note 8.

When I use the search feature in my phone settings I can find an entry "Hearing aids" in accessibility settings. However, when I click on it or go to Accessibility menu the entry doesn't exist.

How can I manage to access this setting?

Thank you for your help and for your work on this rom.

I just updated the rom from settings and it bootlooped with TWRP.

Hello,

I own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 - EU Model - 11.2020 batch, running the latest LOS 17.1 lineage-17.1-20211011-nightly-ginkgo-signed.zip and the front camera doesn't work.

I noticed in the LOS 17.1 changelog that the support for the new front camera was added and then removed (reverted). The explanation is beyond my understanding - given the (lack of) details provided in the revert entry.
Here it was added:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_xiaomi_ginkgo/+/315112/

And here reverted:

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_xiaomi_ginkgo/+/314729/

Given it was reverted on Aug 29 2021, that's a Sunday, I believe it didn't make it into the LOS17.1 build from that night. Anyways, that old LOS 17.1 build is not available for download anymore.

I tried the Magisk Module - front camera fix (drivers and firmware) from this thread:

New front camera (Omnivision OV13B10) doesn't connect with custom Q, on RN8

UPDATE: temblor55 has made a Magisk patch for this problem, which he posted on 18 september:: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-3y1CR6nfVhFYf9VpE11FXOmDEQl5VMt/view Pat57 has confirmed that it works for him...

forum.xda-developers.com

And the front camera started working. But as soon as the phone entered standby mode and I woke it up, I wasn't able to record videos anymore, with all the cameras and all the camera apps - file corrupted / there was a problem saving the recording. I believe the data stream the camera service is providing the camera app is corrupted. Taking photos and saving them works with all the cameras, just the video recording is broken.
More details provided in this post (#26):

I'm wondering why the LOS17.1 devs team removed the support for this new front camera and I'd be very thankful if they put it back - "revert the revert":

Many thanks in advance!

Hi, I tryed both LOS17.1 and LOS18.1. I found LOS17.1 works well with old XIAOMI firmware, while LOS18.1 works well only with latest xiaomi firmware. I was on 17.1, made clean flash of 18.1 and nothing worked until flashed latest firmware...
Maybe the cause of bootlops could be the firmware...

Which exact firmwares did you use or flash to make LOS17.1 and LOS18.1 work properly? I can not seem to find one that allows me to flash and run LOS17.1. Bootloop issue...

Hi, LOS17.1 worked well with the original firmware of the phone; i think if you flash a firmware released in 2020 with emui based on Android, is ok to have LOs17.1 work properly.
In august I upgraded to LOS18.1 (with clean flash), and nothing worked until i flashed the newest firmware, based on Android11

 

[pnin]

FYI, and although I haven't tested this in any way, my rule of thumb here would be:

A10 based ROM (e.g., LOS 17.1) => use A10 firmware
A11 based ROM (e.g., LOS 18.1) => use A11 firmware

sometimes the package installer has problems
1.package installer has been stopped
2.i installed apps from the play store, when it was installed and when I opened it, a pop up app was not installed

Thanks.

Official lineageOS for gincko / willow will never evolve from Android 10 to 11?

 

[JonnyBoy1984]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 10, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.


Are you using--
a task killer:
a non-stock kernel:
other modifications:

What das "increase performance" technically means. Then I need to know, what is the relationship between increasing performance and the design you wrote.

And even this aspect of technical function of reliability, I wanna know.

Nice greatings

I hope a little bit no one else asked this, Otherway please Link it.

And what should I know about Kerneling?

I wont work with anyother simcard. Only the simcard which i unlocked the phone with when i first bought it,

I ended up fixing my problem.

The problem was xiaomi account with the xiaomi cloud enabled

What i had to do was revert back to stock rom. Sign in with my xiaomi account and xiaomi cloud. Go on my computer and log into the xiaomi cloud and remove the device from the xiaomi cloud. Then after an hour i signed out of my xiami account from the phone and factory reset.

Then installed lineageOS and i did not have that problem anymore.

I installed different simcards and even without a simcard and it does not freeze.

It seemed the xiaomi cloud locked my phone to that specific sim card.

What i don't understand is since i erased the stockrom is where does it save this information to lock my simcard? I thought the lock settings would be saved inside the stock rom.

Anyways everything is good now. It seems strange how that worked. Make sure everyone to sign out of your xiaomi and cloud before erasing the stock and installing lineageOS

I'm no expert, but I reckon it was recorded somewhere in the vendor or persist partitions...
