[Discontinued][ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 - Xiaomi Mi 8

[Dexer125]

Is root access possible without Magisk over ADB mode? I see there are option in Developer Options (root over ADB), but I fail. I was typing in CMD "adb root" but nothing happens...:highfive:

Type "su" not "root"

Hi guys,

Gonna try this ROM tonight.

I have 2 quick questions:

1) What version of open Gaps should I use? (I'd like as little google stuff on the phone as possible)
2) Does the ROM support encryption out of the box?

Hope someone can help

Thanks guys

1) You have to use nano or pico. You can try bitgapps too.

2) İf i know right, yes. İ am not sure because i always flashing DFE.

Thanks for the reply

I wasn't aware of bitgapps.

Is bitgapps generally recommended over opengapps or are they kinda the same?

Bitgapps is minimal modded opengapps version. But Normally opengapps(Nano) more stable on all roms.

Did you flash DFE?

No and I won't. Why would I make the data unencrypted.

You may have already tried, but you're not mentioning that. Did you hit search button and looked for your issue? Here's one of the several posts:



I don't have a car with Android Auto, but other people seem to confirm this workaround is fixing the flickering. If I understand correctly, this is the same problem you're having, right? If it's gonna fix it, beware that after every reboot you have to enable this option in developers settings.

I got the same issue with Android auto.
Can it be set on firmware by default - to avoid repeating steps after each reboot?
Thx

Rom does not update to May 1, it stays again on March 31. I guess this problem will be fixed in the update currently being prepared. However, there is an important discussion on the agenda about Xiaomi Browser. Could the delay of the update have anything to do with it?

Nope..problems come from this at lineageos site: https://status.lineageos.org/issues/5eae596b4a0ebd114676545f
So when they get everything fixed updates will carry on.

@infrag - Could this be added to dipper LOS17.1 to support VoLTE/VoWiFi?

VoLTE and WiFi Calling is supported.
I use it on my Mi8.

voLTE yes for me, but voWiFi don't

Newest global firmware ?
I don't know. The ROM supported it.

The last build date is wrong because the last build (2020-04-30) took so long that the zip file was named 2020-05-01.

Same here as well. VoWiFi does work if I put the SIM in a different phone. I'm pretty I had working VoWiFi on Mi8 using a different ROM previously which makes me think it is may be a modem.img file issue.

Do thirdparty roms support aac for bluetooth audio? I believe MIUI does, so this rom should have it enabled too.

Heavy problems with LOS 17.1

Hi folks,
at the moment I'm having heavy problems installing new LOS updates.
I was on TWRP 3.3.1.1. and some LOS 17.1 Rom from March. I wanted to update to the latest, but TWRP did not decrypt my phone. Folders and files had cryptic names.
So I tried to flash a new TWRP 3.3.1.2 - result: My touch screen does not work since then. Neither in TWRP or in Orange FOX Recovery.
So I went to sideload with ADB and the Lineage Recovery, which can be controlled with the keys of my MI 8.
I could flash the LOS 17.1 from May 1st with OpenGAPPS and it booted - but still no touch response, even in LOS!!!
So I formated with fastboot: cache, userdata and system.
I searched latest MI 8 firmware (I have a China device and flashed latest stable China FW).
I flashed with ADB sideload again: Firmware, LOS 17.1 and OpenGAPPS and now it boots. It asks for SIM PIN, but I can't enter it - NO TOUCH RESPONSE.

Is my device somehow bricked? What can I do to get touch response again?

I distinctly remember that a rom dev got the same problem and he told that he had resolved the issue by flashing the last stable Oreo MIUI rom. Give that a go. Also it will not brick your device because of arb

Love the Rom.. Everything works great except for the wifi... Has a very weak signal... Any kernel. Suggestions?
