Sounds interesting and relatively easy to resolve then.
But I don't see any recent activity in the github source code branches

I noted that other project members got their own copies of source code.

For sure one which is compiling and working on the device you can find at:
https://github.com/jorgeiba97/android_device_xiaomi-nikel-lineage-14.1

im trying to help find why cam is not working but probably im too weak in this

Go Aosp 6.0 for this phone. There's really no other choice for this mid tier phone. MIUI chews wayyyy too much of it's resources and can't perform.

Here are the missing Blobs for the Camera by SamarV-121:

Missing-Blobs+Camera-Blobs-nikel.zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120756749

Just install the zip via TWRP.

I can confirm camera is working with the samarV blobs but every thing else is still broken.

@all developers
In the discord channel of this project the user @end222 hinted that in the current Nikel lineagos 14.1 device tree branch there are some MTK symbols corrupted and missing in the "libmtk_symbols".
These missing symbols are added in the Redmi Pro Omega device tree you can find here: https://github.com/end222/lineage_device_omega
Replace the Replace the "libmtk_symbols" folder with mine and give it a try.

Then Camera and Calls may work. Maybe some minor tweaking is still necessary, but the missing symbols should be ready then.

Can you tell me (even after all the fixing) what's NOT working ?
Thanks

I don't know if anything is not working (did not compile the LineageOS myself).
I just wanted to say that camera and other MediaTek hardware will work, but because the code is taken from Redmi Pro it may need some minor tweaks to get it running without any problems.

Just copy & paste the "libmtk_symbols" folder from the Redmi Pro branch into your that is already booting.

Is someone able to make a boot image with a fixed fstab for the sdcard?
The sdcard fstab record is wrong.

It is

/devices/mtk-msdc.0/11240000.MSDC1*  	auto      auto      defaults        voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,encryptable=userdata
/devices/platform/mt_usb*		auto      vfat      defaults        voldmanaged=usb:auto

but should be

/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11240000.msdc1*  	auto      auto      defaults        voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,encryptable=userdata
/dev/block/platform/platform/mt_usb*		auto      vfat      defaults        voldmanaged=usb:auto

This change needs a change to the initrd of the boot partition.
