[xiaobai112220]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.1 (Nougat), 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.

What's working :

• nearly everything

What's not working ( due to no kernel source ) :

• Live Display is software only
• Ambient Display is disabled
• Missing vibration intensity preference
• F2FS
• Sometimes fingerprint sensor not work(turn off the screen and turn on to fix it)

• This fixes the multi touch issue:

thanks so much for creating a thread.
any news on the source kernel release state?

ps: can you add a donation button for your profile?

fyi: installed the latest version over the 122 Build with wiping dalvik chache after, works properly without any bootloops.

I have a weird bug... on every startup the Alarm (set for the next morning) starts ringing. This was the case on the 311 build for me as well.

Some (dumm) questions to clarify...

Hey,

i was following the discussion in the other thread - also a big thanks from my side and a really cool!

Questions:
1) I don´t really get the comment to the multi touch problem. Yes there is a link but do i need to actively flash something after installing latest build? Or does it mean there is a work around integrated with the last build with the specific code from the link.
So: Yes - you still need to flash something for multiply touch support OR No - all is good for now just flash it!

2) Sorry, just want to be sure - Google Apps: ARM64 Version right?
Yes right ARM64 / No, its wrong

3) If it happens that there will be also a official Linage OS buid, can i just flash it than without wipe/reset the phone or do i have to install it new? I know we cant say it jet but:
A) You will need to wipe - for sure!
B) Likely you will not need to wipe.
C) It is absolutly open and nobody has a Glas-Ball to find out jet, so 50/50

4) What is "Live Display is software inly" - i could not find out what is meant with "Live Display" via Google excatly. Sorry if it is a dumm question.

Thanks so much for making this development possible. Hope my questions are not too dumm ones and fast and easy to answer.

Hey there!

Everything works as expected (camera bug is still there - as expected), the rest is flawless.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Please (I keep requesting this), could you (or somebody else contributing to the build) add the hardware button switching option (using the already working script from @ru1dev) ? It would be great to have it embedded in the ROM. I am sure many people want to use the Nexus/Pixel/Stock navigation experience (back, home, recents button order).

There seems to be a "bug" in all these builds: Pixel icons (from Open Gapps) don't seem to work (they do in other ROMs based on @xiaobai112220 's sourcetree). Maybe I'm just doing something wrong... don't know - but I can live with that.

Thanks a bunch! Keep up the good work!

No/Yes/B or C/Live display feature on settings

 

[Modest Mind]

Today's version is very fluid and very stable. Thank you 谢谢! I can only imagine that you will make a perfect Lineage firmware once Xiaomi releases the kernel source code for Mi5s. :fingers-crossed:

 

[addisuw]

You did it, now i can like my mi5s. We will feedback any issues and it's going to be great. Thank you for taking the time and doing it.

I was waiting for this thread for too long, thank you for making it and sharing a new build. I really appreciate your work. Good job.

Installing today ! All work fine.

Just a little issue on boot : date is 06/10/1970 during 3s before syncing with my network.

Fingerprint not working - rest looks very good!

Hey, just tested the rom - like it!

I have one bug:

When trying to set up fingerprint sensor for unlocking from lock screen, the wizard/app always crashes. So i was not possible for me to set up a fingerprint to unlock the device.

Anybody has the same experience or is it only me ?

Thanks for the rom again!

Hi @Wastman86, I set up four fingerprints during the initial settings configuration without problems. I've tried right now to set up another fingerprint and it works fine ?

Maybe you forget to wipe cache/dalvik after flashing the ROM...

Ok interesting.
I did a wipe before i installed the ROM but not after.

It should make no difference to clear the old "files" from the previously ROM before or after flashing the system partition, right? I might be wrong though...
