[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][11] LineageOS 18.1 for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro [whyred][2023-05-10]

[SunilSuni]

Can you tell me which build you have installed ?
Is it 20230222 build ?

well the random reboots and crashes started happening again after 2-3 weeks of using this rom. I get this same behaviour on various roms like pixel experience and crdroid. I don't know why this happens

Can you tell me which build you have installed ?
Is it 20230222 build ?

Yes. The previous update had the same issues

 

[SunilSuni]

then what difference is there in the rom of the 22nd with respect to the one of the 18th?
it is assumed that the day 22, if it is the same as the official, should go exactly the same as the official, but it does not happen so.
that's why I have now the version of the day 18, because if not, I drain the battery faster.

These are the different between old vendor blobs and Vendor blobs extracted from 20221024 LineageOS official zip file

Vendor blobs used in official LineageOS has Energy, Performance and Thermal related files which are missing in previous vendor blobs

refer to attached txt file
Previous vendor blobs used in 20230218 and older builds--> /home/sunil/Downloads/vendor_xiaomi_whyred-lineage-18.1

Vendor blobs from LineageOS 20221024 build --> home/sunil/android/lineage/vendor/xiaomi/

I will switch to previous vendor blobs as it has good battery life

hello. i don't know if others have noticed.
that's what I can tell you.
with the rom of the 18th, I have a similar duration to the official rom.
With the rom of the 22nd, it lasts less.
that's why I have installed your rom, but the rom of the day 18.

I think i have corrected the battry isssue

There was some difference in sdm660-common source

Now battry remains on 68% throughout the night

Initially 2% drop from 70 to 68% but after that battery remains same

Now build is using everything from the official source including vendor blobs from official LOS build 20221024

This is my test build with chromium webview 113
Because official lineage chromium_webview apk file is corrupted and builds are failing

 

[TFT69]

thank you for your progress.
I have left the phone on standby all night and it shouldn't drop that much.
When you release this month's update, we'll try it.
greetings.

I've had it installed for about 2 hours, the latest version.
I will let you know in a few days if everything is ok.

I will confirm when it is my turn to charge the battery.
But so far, I have almost 2 days with this charge, after updating to the latest rom.
looks good.

 

[SunilSuni]

Yes, i also got around 36 hours standby with 4 hours 30 minutes screen on time (Mine is 4 years 9 months old mobile)
Everything is based on the official lineage-18.1 source, So the build is similar to official release

Would you recommend cleanflash or dirty for this build for the battery update to be noticeable

Dirty flash will work but make sure to clear cache

Hi, i installed this ROM but USB transfer mode is not working. Has somebody else this problem ?

 

[TFT69]

hello.
I would like to say that this version goes very well.
the battery lasts me 4 days. just like the official rom.
When you say that the usb transfer does not work, what do you mean?
reinstall the rom, and delete caches just before rebooting to start for the first time.

 

[cruncher1234]

I don't know. I can sideload from the recovery but if i connect the phone from LOS to a pc and switch to transfer mode then the phone doesn't show up (but i hear a windows system sound). I formatted already everything and also reinstalled MIUI (Android 9) and then twrp and then LOS but it didn't help. If it works for you then there is a problem with my setup. Also another USB cable or a different port didn't change anything.
I must say that i didn't test it from MIUI because i didn't start it before flashing LOS but it worked at least a year ago and i don't want to start again from scratch because of all the effort i had already put in the custom rom ( to configure all apps to connect with their servers).

 

[TFT69]

I don't think it's the rom because it works for me.
I always have it in data transfer mode.
But, sometimes, because of the drivers, I did not recognize it.
Therefore, it did not appear in the list of devices.
solution for me: uninstall the current driver with the phone connected, disconnect the phone from the pc, and reconnect it to install the drivers correctly.
if you say you have formatted, it is supposed to install the correct driver when you connect the phone. don't use programs, let windows do it.

I have now connected the cell phone, and as I said, I have it in data transfer mode.
I have switched to ptp, and after installing and configuring the driver, I have switched back to transfer mode, and everything is fine.
