Thank you very much @kalehrl and @JoshReuben, now I have all the info I need to proceed!

This should really be in a specific thread for the "Official" LineageOS, too bad the developer still hasn't created it. Anyway, if/when he does, I'll repost a summary there; meanwhile I just hope people can find this via searching.

Cheers,

Hi all.
I successfully installed the official LineageOS. To sum up

- follow steps here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/miatoll/install
- I had already install the unoficial LOS of this thread, so I skip the installation of the latest MIUI as confirmed above.

Therefore, I
- from computer: adb installed lineage recovery
- from computer: adb boot into recovery
- on phone's LOS recovery mode: clear data etc..
- then from computer: adb sideload
- reboot, enjoy
- I added opengapps (see LOS website links) following the same steps starting from the recovery mode of course (no need to erase any data).
- Similarly, I added the last version of magisk to root the phone.

After installation completed, I was stuck on three main issues so far:

• Google contact app : I installed "open_gapps-arm64-11.0-nano-20211021" as recommended on the official LineageOS link. But google contact app doesn't sync with my account. It asks to sign in even tough I have already log into my google account globally in the phone. Thus, when trying to sign in again in google contact app, it says "This account already exists on your device". All other google apps works fine (maps, gmail, play store,..). I tried to clear cache and reinstall the app + reboot. No success. Any similar issue? Any idea/solution? :)

• Here is the detailed solution for Safety net issue: At first it didn't pass with magisk hide only. More exactly, I got only "cts profile match fail". I installed safety net fix from here, nothing. I also followed the instructions here as well, not much success either.

==> I therefore used the MagiskHide Props Config as suggested above, and it works! Just follows the steps in an emulated terminal.

- Type "su" in a terminal emulator (tmux for example). Then grant access. Then type "props"
- Select option "1, edit device fingerprint".
- "f, certified vendor"
- "25, redmi" (not Xiaomi! I made the mistake, and was quite disappointed to not finding redmi 9s in the list ^^
- "16, redmi note 9s global", worked for me. I own the redmi 9s "Curtana". Don't know for the other models.

• The phone speaker issue remains: when calling, toggling the speaker mutes the microphone. The person you call can't hear you anymore. I got the same issue with the unofficial LOS. I think one solution was to remove one of the two sim cards (second slot if I remember correctly). But haven't tried since I need both sim cards.

Ok. Strangely enough, the google contact app started to work properly. But now I got these messages from google play services:

"SMS verification requires google play services to access", for example when configuring the Signal app.

I went into the permissions setting, and check "allow" for google play services SMS permissions. But when going back, it is still in the "denied" list. Tried to reboot and so on, still the same.

My solution so far: disable completely the google play services app in parameters, then configure signal (or what's app, and others). Then re-active again google play services.
Also, disable this kind of alert notification for google play services, otherwise it shows a lot. Don't like that.. but that's the best I could find.

So far, constact, SMS apps, Signal, what's app, work.

hello, I installed this ROM on my device, Xiami Redmi Note 9S, this is the official lineageOS ROM link "https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/miatoll/20211022/lineage-18.1-20211022-nightly-miatoll-signed .zip" or "https://download.lineageos.org/miatoll". however the microphone/audio pickup is buggy, it starts recording perfect for 2 seconds later the audio is lower in the recording. that way I can't properly use the audio recorder from whatsapp or other apps.

ola , instalei essa ROM em meu dispositivo, Xiami Redmi Note 9S, esse é ol link da ROM lineageOS oficial "https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/fu...eage-18.1-20211022-nightly-miatoll-signed.zip" ou "https://download.lineageos.org/miatoll". porem o microfone/captador de audio está bugado , ele começa perfeito a gravar porem 2 segundos depois o audio fica mais baixo na gravação. dessa forma não consigo usar de forma adequada o gravador de áudio do whatsapp ou de outros apps.

Yes. They habe started providing builds but don't know when the bugs would be solved completely..
I installed the official LOS four days ago and it's been completely bug free for me, most notably no sleep freeze and no system UI freeze/crash. Additionally I've seen about 20% better battery life, but I also went full google-free, so maybe that has to do with the battery life.

What about the microphone audio pickup? As mentioned by Home4K in the comment above, it still seems to be an issue.

I'm very happy with it on my joyeuse except for the overnight battery drain which is way too high. I'm toying with the idea of degoogling.

I usually have 4% battery drop overnight.
I had even more before I flashed Global Android 11 firmware.
Before that, I had European Android 11 fw even though my phone was global version.

    Hey all,

    New unified rom will be released today. We're moving away from individual phone releases. All Lineage 18 roms from this point on will be miatol. Will post 15/12/20 rom later today. Been out a while sorry. Only 1 rom release since the Oct rom anyway. All issues have been resolved and the latest Lineage 18.0 code synced.

    LineageOS 18.1 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, 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. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

    We have progressed to LineageOS 18.1

    Flash instructions :

    Use latest pbr recovery for miatol, supports decryption - beta available here, https://pitchblackrecovery.com/joyeuse/.

    DO NOT - Wipe data!, ONLY FORMAT, otherwise you may hose the phone.

    There is a way to fix this without the fastboot factory clean, flash and lock with the official Xiaomi tool, which was forcing you to clean and lock... now available here: https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
    If you hose the phone, use this tool - you need to install JRE though, as the tool is Java base. Put your phone is fastboot, use the tool to download the latest global rom (or whichever). Then go to where its downloaded, extract the .xy/tar file, then go back into the tool and under "image" select the folder INSIDE the folder you just extracted, then select "clean install" and install it. This will flash the majority of imgs but will error out at the end and be unable to create the "user data" partition.

    That's okay, because all of the partitions will be setup again, and you can flash any rom you want again. So when its done, and still in fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img being the latest joyeuse pbr recovery, you renamed to recovery.img and were in that folder in the command prompt, so it will flash that recovery) or use the tool to select that recovery and it will flash it for you and reboot into for you if you like.

    (Do this step last, after Magisk, if you want to unencrypt, no worries if you don't unencrypt - PBR recovery will decrypt your data ON THE SECOND TRY OF ENTERING YOUR SCREENLOCK PIN NUMBER...), the new PBR Miatol Beta 10/14/20, fixes this issue, it is now decrypted on the first entry of the phone's lockscreen PIN. Then flash disable_dm-verity_forceencrypt.zip available here for those who want decrypted data partition: https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe and other places as well.

    If you are encrypted and decide to unencrypt later, you will need to flash the disable_dm-verity_forceencrypt.zip in miatol recovery, then format data. Store roms, gapps, recoveries (just in case), disable_dm-verity, magisk install and uninstall and all that stuff on the SD card, so you can use them in PBR after you format DATA (the first step after installing PBR miatol recovery), just FYI. Then do the following:

    Flash ROM
    Flash OpenGAPPS for android 11 nano
    Boot into android, make sure its working and install Magisk Manager 8.0.7, then reboot into recovery and install Magisk 21.4 (in recovery, I did not need to extract the boot.img and patch in Magisk Manager, and reboot into recovery to flash the patched boot.img, but your results may be different): https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases. If you want to unencrypt (no guarantees its permanent though) you need to format data, THEN FLASH MAGISK, then flash disable_dm-verity (always the last step)- I usually wipe dalvik and cache too.

    USE LATEST MIATOL PBR RECOVERY, PLEASE.

    SD card issues resolved with the implementation of the EXFat android driver.

    Source Code: https://github.com/LineageOS
    Kernel Source: https://github.com/Redmi-SM6250 or Stock kernel from Miui

    Hi @gigahurts

    I hope your recovery is going well!

    I spent the day yesterday investigating my comment:

    This ROM is good, but unfortunately the MIC is muted during calls regardless of mute button toggle.

    I found the same exact problem in various other roms.

    Before clean-flashing those roms I installed the most recent firmware
    ( fw_joyeuse_miui_JOYEUSEEEAGlobal_V12.0.2.0.QJZEUXM_53af718a4c_10.0.zip )

    Only the stock ROM and once "aftermarket" ROM [Fluid 1.2 (20210219) ] so far does not have the silent mic problem (so, together with having used a sound recorder app, I know the hardware is still good . . .)

    I have tested MANY others and they all have one or both of the two LineageOS 18/18.1 problems (no mic on calls or no ear speaker on non-speakerphone calls). Additionally, most of these will immediately drop calls made with an area code except the first call immediately after reboot.
    • lineage-18.0-20201130-UNOFFICIAL-miatoll.zip -- no EAR speaker on calls
    • lineage-18.1-20210113-UNOFFICIAL-miatoll.zip -- no MIC on calls
    • dotOS-R-v5.0.0-miatoll-OFFICIAL-20210208-1526.zip -- no EAR speaker on calls
    • RevengeOS-4.0-R-OFFICIAL-miatoll-20210120-0248.zip -- no MIC on calls
    • Xtended-XR-v5.0-miatoll-OFFICIAL-20210209.zip -- no EAR speaker on calls
    • Arrow-v11.0-miatoll-OFFICIAL-20210305-VANILLA.zip -- no MIC on calls
    • descendant_miatoll-XI-20210218-Official.zip -- Does not flash
    EDIT (additions) 5:55 pm 2021-02-28
    • CARBON-CR-9.0-Q-WEEKLY-lineage_miatoll-20210209-2312.zipPixelPlusUI_3.2_miatoll-11.0-20210228-0358-OFFICIAL.zip
    • crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210210-miatoll-v7.3.zip -- no EAR speaker on calls
    Note: crDroidAndroid 7.3 is unbelievably good! (in spite of "alpha" status) There are so many configuration options. They are so well organized! And it's still as fast as LOS. The moment the ear-speaker in call issue is addressed, this will no doubt be my daily driver.

    EDIT (recategorization) 5:57 pm 2021-03-05
    • I had previously listed Arrow as working - that was from a table with a messy marking, sorry (I rechecked the ROM today to make sure and also confirmed with my posts in another forum . . .)
    EDIT (additional ROM attempt) 11:52 am 2021-03-06
    • SpiceOS-2.2-NEW_ERA-20210101-miatoll-OFFICIAL.zip -- no EAR speaker on calls

      I hesitated to install this earlier as it already seems abandoned (no updates since 2021-01-01 even though there have been 3 security patches for AOSP since then). Visually this is the nicest of the above ROMs in my opinion. Elegant default background. Fun bootanimation.

      Hurrah! This ROM has working ear speaker and microphone (but only after first switching on speakerphone).

      Unfortunately, calls with area code immediately fail after dialing them. This is another consistent problem on A11 miatoll ROMs. Dealbreaker until fixed.
    EDIT (additional ROM attempt; clarification of calls dialed with area code) 6:15 pm 2021-03-06
    • PixelPlusUI_3.2_miatoll-11.0-20210228-0358-OFFICIAL.zip -- no EAR speaker on calls
    END EDIT

    I hope this fairly exhaustive test will help the developers of the miatoll LOS 18.x rom get it solved in the next version.

    Meanwhile, if any reader already has this problem solved . . . any advice would be appreciated!
