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

[dimipage]

Anyone tried the NoGravityKernel on this ROM? How's the battery life now compared to LOS17?

I have installed the MicroG-Version 18.1 from this site: https://download.lineage.microg.org/dipper/
... over the MicroG-Version 17.1 and can report the same.
The battery lifetime dropped significantly.
It is less then half of the lifetime as it was before.
Threfore I have returned back to 17.1.
Although everything else in 18.1 worked like a charm.
I hope that this problem will get resolved soon.

Switching from 17 to 18 was a bit bumpy. At first, dirty upgrading went smooth, but somewhere between updating magisk and microg I got stuck in a boot freeze. Tried to go back to 17, but learned the hard way that encryption doesn't seem to allow to go back without full wipe including local storage.
Finally did a clean install, now its working fine, in the end even with magisk and microg.

Hi, I am using lineageOS with microG as well!
Do you happen to have notifications delays? I am often notified from 10 minutes to half an hour later after a whatsapp message was sent, I miss calls from whatsapp, etc.
I think the implementation of microG is buggy.

Haven't noticed any, but I'm not so dependent on the push messages. I'm using the patch instructions from here and up to date microg from their f-droid repo.

On my phone it doesn't show any delays.

But thanks for your posting ... I just saw that there is a new version of LineageOS with MicroG out:
https://download.lineage.microg.org/dipper/

Last week I had flashed LOS 18.1 along with Magisk over the LOS with MicroG and it works like a charm.
The battery drain problem has gone.

I am downloading the the MicroG version from the link above and will test it.

Does Wifi over the 5 GHz Band work on your devices? I still have trouble with it. It just won't connect to the internet. Every other 5 GHz capable device in my network connects flawlessly with the internet. I tried a lot but I just don't get it to work.

Hi! Has anyone use the NFC?

The MIFARE Classic tool (MCT) is not working on my device, says "This device does not support MIFARE classic".

I'm using the latest firmware and latest official lineageos 18.1, and the MCT version is 4.0.2.

This app is working on lineageos 17.1, and show that message after I upgrade my device to lineageos 18.1.

Am I the only one facing this issue with Gpay?

I have the same issue. GPay NFC paying was working until "lineage-17.1-20210325-nightly-dipper-signed.zip".
Then I have done my first upgrade to "lineage-18.1-20210415-nightly-dipper-signed.zip":
- reboot to recovery
- delete

Dalvik Cache​

Cache​

System​

- install

Lineage OS 18.1​

GApps​

Magisk​

- reboot device
(Right now I'm on "lineage-18.1-20210506-nightly-dipper-signed.zip)

"Everything" is working. I also can start the GPay App and can see my cards. For a test it was also possible to add a new payment method (PayPal).

But payment at a POS terminal isn't possible. The terminal does detect the phone. But then I can see an error like "no data" at the POS terminal screen.


Well. I can also see a lot of posts in this thread from people which are saying GPay NFC paying is working with 18.1. So there is a question:
- this people have done a fresh/clean installation with 18.1
- or they have done an upgrade from 17.1 to 18.1?


BTW:
I also can't add a new certificate from SD-Card. The app "com.android.certinstaller" keeps stopping after serveral attempts.

When i have 2,4&5 Ghz turned on, my phone connects only to 2,4 Ghz. When i disable 2,4 Ghz on my router, it connects to 5 Ghz without a problem.

The payment from my bank doesnt work either since upgrade to LOS 18.1(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.fiduciagad.android.vrwallet)
I wrote to their support, and they told me to "switch the SIM-Wallet to HCE Wallet" but i couldnt find that option anywhere

I'm in the same position, card added to GPay but unable to pay in stores.

NFC itself is working for me. At least with the german identity card app (com.governikus.ausweisapp2) which is also using NFC.

With my Router, Fritz 7590, I also have this Problem. Sometimes it connects and works for a short time, then it disconnevts. With other routers it works with 5 GHz...!?

Seems that A11 still have a lot of things to be fixed. Anyway IMHO, If u or we really need some feature that supposed to be must have one, better stick to A10. Thats in my shoe tho.

Well, interesting phenomenon! My router is a F!B 6591. And every time I leave I certain range it disconnects or just says "no Internet" while still beeing connected to the 5 GHz-Band.

I have a test nfc config file for someone to try if they know how which may fix some of these problems. I can upload an unofficial build with it in there if thats a preferred option?

I think I should be able to test this. NFC working ok but GPay fails with read error at the terminal. Running 2021-04-29's official build with mindthegapps and magisk. Prefer updating config file over unofficial build.

Is GPS working for anyone? I am currently running 20210506 build with NikGapps and latest chinese vendors and GPS simply won't work.

I am running last nightly and I'm up for trying a different config to test GPAY, which is currently not working when trying to pay in stores.
