[pedropereira22]

Is WiFi working for you

When I flash the android p pr1 or dp5 WiFi was not working

So can you tell me how you flashed android p

I using PR1 right now and working fine for me.

Could you tell me the zips that you've flashed? (in order), because i tried as you said but google camera and double tap to wake aren't working :/

This is what i did when flashing (used MIUI 10 8.8.2 Beta before, and using OrangeFox 3.2.1 recovery and PR1)
-Reboot to recovery
-Wipe System, Data, cache, vendor, dalvik cache
-Flash crdroidandroid treble rom (i flashed 4.5 20180721 build)
-Reboot to recovery (in my device, /vendor files corrupt if i continue without reboot)
-Flash GSI image in "Install > Install Image"
-Mount /vendor and /system if unmounted
-Flash zip in order:
1 - POST-sGSI_1_v0.14.zip
2 - POST-sGSI_2_v0.17.zip
3 - POST-sGSI_3_v0.5.zip (this may unmount /vendor and/or /system, so check it)
4 - P-Lag-Fix: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528049478
5 - Front Camera Fix ( I find it on Android P Telegram, and message date is July 21 and time is maybe 13:33, this patch fixed face unlock for me, maybe can fix camera issues better)
- Reboot
- Install google play services apk for Android P
- Done

Maybe this can help you

Thanks a lot for the instructions, I really appreciate it, I have installed it as you said and google camera is now working. I couldn't get double tap to wake feature to work though, I think it has something to do with the kernel, tried Kernel Adiutor and it doesn't give me the "wake" option, anyways thank you for your help!

Anyone tried flashing HavocOS 2.0/LineageOS 16 GSI?

Anyone tried flashing HavocOS 2.0/LineageOS 16 GSI?

Not the treble version but I have installed https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-4a/development/rom-havoc-os-t3810294 which seems stable.

 

[dheztafaq]

Hello dev, theres any update for its treble enabler??

 

[jitendramahatpure]

Camera is not working after flashing the v2 zip.........no camera app from play store is working...........I didn't even installed magisk
Also Screen flickers sometimes and some kind of display driver bug.
Device: Redmi 4A

 

[TacoLoco]

How can i go back to non treble custom rom?

 

[Shakti Panda]

Hey all,
Does it really enable RGB notification LED? I want RGB notification LED so bad! If it doesn't work can anyone enlighten me on whether our Redmi 5A can support RGB LED and how to enable it? I'm on MoKee ROM.
Thanks!!!

 

[JuliãoSaeba]

Might be a noob question, but is it compatible with 5A Prime (or non-lite if you prefer this way) ?

 

[chraso]

What is Project Treble:

Project Treble basically partitions your device into two separate partitions, a system and a vendor: system contains your generic system image, while vendor partition has your device specific files required for booting and running your phone. This way we can easily change the system image and be able to run our device on different system images with the same kernel and vendor partition​

Read more about Project Treble​

What's a GSI?:

A GSI literally means Generic System Image. It is a general system image meant for no specific device. Treble enabled devices have the capability to run a GSI. You can find a GSI here: Phh-Treble​

Xiaomi Redmi 4A hardware vs Treble implementation:

Our Redmi 4A is an A-only device. This means that regarding the GSI images (GSI = Generic System Image) to be used, you need to get ARM64 and A-Only system images​

How to report bugs:

Logcat, a simple description of the bug, kmsg or dmseg depending on the bug​

What's Packaged in the zip:

A boot image (kernel)​

A compressed vendor image (cust partition)​

How to use:

• Reboot to recovery (Custom TWRP recovery for Redmi 4A - Direct link)
• Format /system, /data and /cache
• Install Treble flashable zip package (Project Treble flashable for Redmi 4A - Direct link)
• Install the GSI system image you wish to use (How to flash a Generic System Image (GSI) on Project Treble supported devices - Direct link)
• Reboot

Important notes:​

• Current minimal * required * firmware version is MIUI 8.3.29 Global dev, otherwise installation could have issues. Download the latest dev fastboot package directly from Xiaomi and flash it prior to installing LineageOS or, alternatively, download and install one of the latest custom packages containing firmware only (at your own risk).
• GApps can only be flashed on clean installs.
• Formatting data (all user data is wiped, including internal storage) is a must if MIUI was previously installed and device was encrypted.

Screenshots:

Broken:

• WIFI MAC address gets randomly generated (only once, you will keep the same as long as you are on LOS)
• Encryption (format data or remove encryption when coming from a non-treble rom)
• Sepolicy is still permissive
• Nothing else? Otherwise please report it!

Working:

• Camera (and flashlight)
• WiFi
• Bluetooth
• Telephony (Calls and Data)
• Audio (Record and Playback)
• Video Playback
• Sensors
• GPS
• VoLTE (AOSP doesn't have the needed patches to get it working, but most other GSIs have them)

Credits & collaborations:

This work is due to efforts from RedmiDevs founding members that did the full device bring-up. Huge thanks to @xboxfanj for all the help during that bring-up.​

Finally, all RedmiDevs & LineageOS team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!​

And I would give a special thanks to Baron Bronson for providing his device for developing!​
