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.
Did you update the firmware? I use the latest firmware and don't have microphone issues. I also have a curtana device.

Firmware question: I'm using a Joyeuse (Redmi Note 9 Pro Global). Latest firmware is July 30th. Battery drain issue overnight.

Searching for Curtana, I find Global Pro firmware as of Sept 27th. Has anyone successfully flashed this zip on Joyeuse? Khalerl, is this what you've done?

Edit: tried to flash it through stock recovery but couldn't: "error this firmware is for Curtana but device is Joyeuse"

Just use the latest Android 11 firmware for your joyeuse variant. If it's global, use global. I used European on my global and had battery drain. Now I get 48h of standby with 10h sot. The phone is a year and a half old.

Maybe your battery needs calibration. Or just wait a week or so for the ROM to settle.

Yes I did, and the problem persist.
I haven't tried to remove the second sim card yet (since this seems to be the problem), but as soon as I'll test that I'll bring feedback here.

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.
How is the camera quality?

Ho installato su JOYEUSE rom fantastica.
Tutto ok ad eccezione del microfono.
Il problema è che l'interlocutore mi sentiva troppo forte molto compresso.
Ho risolto mettendo questi file audio e mixer di miui v11 versione Android 10
Copiare con root Explorer in system vendor etc.
Dare i permessi rw r r a tutti i file copiati.
Riavviare fatto.
Allego file in zip

----------

MOD EDIT: English Translation Below

I have installed on JOYEUSE fantastic rom.
Everything ok except the microphone.
The problem is that the interlocutor felt too strongly compressed.
I solved it by putting these audio files and mixer of miui v11 android 10 version
Copy with root Explorer to system vendor etc.
Give rw r r permissions to all copied files.
Restart done.
I attach files in zip

The included camera app is ok, but won't let you use the other lenses, and I often use the macro lens. This was solved by using this camera app:


You have to tune the settiings to be able to use the other lenses.

Hi, is it possible (or recommended) to restore xiaomi.eu data partition after flashing LineageOS?
I really want to switch from "stock" to LOS but I don't want to loose my corona app data which AFAIK can not be restored with TitatniumBackup.

Thanks

How did you setup the camera? My one is crashing when I try to use any of the included lenses

    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

    Apologies for the lack of updates, was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer and this project was not on my priority list anymore...

    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!
