[ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 20 weeklies for Xiaomi Poco F1

[bgcngm]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13 (T), 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.

Read the upgrade instructions, had to sadly ignore them because i no longer have a cable/port/adb combo that allows adb to sideload successfully (i just get errors when he starts to transmit).
EDIT [i am lying, adb works but fastboot does not]

So i remained on the Reignz TWRP, and from a recent LOS 19.1:

- flash LOS 20
- flash MindTheGapps 13
- flash Magisk
- flash NGK kernel
- Wipe dalvik/cache
- reboot system

-> Bootloop. Well theoretically this must work, so maybe try less at once? I did see that Magisk re-flashed itself automatically in TWRP, so attempt 2:

- flash LOS 20
[Magisk automatically reflashes itself]
- flash MindTheGapps 13
- reboot system

Works now.. but i am always eager to ruin myself so i will try to reflash NGK now.
EDIT: Yup NGK+TWRP causes bootloop. I will reflash LOS20 again ... and try LOS recovery with NGK maybe.
EDIT2: LOS recovery with NGK bootloops also. Stock kernel it is.
EDIT3: Working good with stock kernel. Magisk works, camera works, banking and auth apps work. Thank you


Another oddity: The updater app immediatly came up and recommended i upgrade to the LOS20 i just flashed. Uh huh?

 

[LTFOUND]

I updated to LOS 20 via dirty flash from LOS 19.1 (following the official procedure: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/beryllium/upgrade)
It worked flawlessly!

NGK has some problems for now, wait for update or use orange fox...

I know this is off-topic, but I guess you used Reignz V3.6.2 that he tested for A13 support?
Interesting that apparently A13 again uses other encryption than A12? I though now with A13 FBE would be the new standard but there is something new again?
So official 3.7.0 TWRP will not work with A13 I guess.

Looking forward to jump to A13 this weekend based on all the positive feedback so far - thank you bgcngm for your hard work!

hello there,

I've just dirty flashed LOS20, and I'm having problems connecting anything via bluetooth, any idea how to fix this without clean installing?

Another question, I'm using MindTheGapps 13 as recommended here, but I was looking for something the minimum google services, do you think I can use NikGapps?

Thanks

 

[pmcmm]

alright, I couldn't fix it, I had it reinstalled clean. Everything is working nicely and the new camera is a very welcome improvement.

I'm still facing issues with bluetooth though. I'm able to use it and connect normally, but when listening to audio, it seems that the connection is weak, and I can often hear cuts in the connection, or noise. Anyone having the same?

EDIT2: LOS recovery with NGK bootloops also. Stock kernel it is.

This problem is a known issue since the day before yesterday. Several people are experiencing this with the upgrade from 19.1 to 20. For now, running the stock kernel should be fine.

I'm still facing issues with bluetooth though. I'm able to use it and connect normally, but when listening to audio, it seems that the connection is weak, and I can often hear cuts in the connection, or noise. Anyone having the same?

I had to unpair my existing bluetooth devices and re-pair them, (presumably because the upgrade changed the phones bluetooth ID) but it seems to work perfectly for me.

- I am on this ROM since 01.01, no major issues so far.

- Just FYI, DFE zip (Disable Force Encryption) from Retrial collection doesn't seem to work on this ROM. For the sake of testing, I tried both A13 DFE and the older zip (which worked on LOS19.1) with clean installations. When I check in the settings, the phone was encrypted every time, no matter what I do.

- On the other hand, I can report that unofficial TWRP A12 by Reignz (twrp-beryllium-v3.7.0-A12.img) can decrypt storage on LOS20.

- One small glitch I found: If I lit up the screen (press power button) while charging, the phone stays on the lockscreen with the display on, never turning off by itself. Of course if I press power button or double tap I can turn it off. Also if I just disconnect power cable, display turns off in few seconds like it should. But if I just press power once and leave it, it will stay on the lockscreen forever.

- Bluetooth is fully working for me. I am using 2 different BT headsets for few hours every day. Not a single issue so far.

The DFE not seem to working with the TWRP by REIGNZ based on A12. Instead you should try to flash DFE via TWRP by REIGNZ but based on A9.

The purpose of A12 based twrp is to decrypt A12+ encrypted ROMs. If you don't need encryption (which I recommend everyone to use encryption), then use TWRP by REIGNZ A9 and flash DFE.

Do "long loading while taking picture from whatsapp-bug" still occurred????

 

[sponk0]

Do "long loading while taking picture from whatsapp-bug" still occurred????

I get the following behavior:
1st try: click on photo button: nothing happens (but no hang)
2nd try: click on photo button: photo is immediately taken and can be sent, no hang

So: not really running without issues, but no hang
Maybe this is helpful
