[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][DISCONTINUED] LineageOS 15.1 for Xiaomi Mi6

[blankaf]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1 (Oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.​

 * We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

 * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.

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. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). 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 our Gerrit Code Review. Your changelog is whatever was merged into gerrit.

Important information:
This thread is for LineageOS 15.1 builds for Xiaomi Mi 6. The following will not be supported here:

• Custom kernels
• Mods
• Xposed

We don't support Xposed and any logcat which includes a Xposed module will be ignored. You're kindly invited to not report bugs if you:

• Flashed a custom kernel
• Installed or did mods from untrusted sources
• Modified system files

WARNING:

• This is an early preview of LineageOS 15.1, there's no guarantee it'll work stable.
• Database migration from previous LineageOS is currently NOT supported, you MUST perform a data wipe before.

Tips:

• SELinux works in permissive
• FBE is currently not supported
• NFC is a bit buggy and drains a lot in standby, disable it when you don't use it.
• You need at least MIUI Global Oreo 8.2.8 firmware, otherwise you'll get error 7 when installing the zip. Latest MIUI Global Oreo firmware is recommended.

Installation:
First time flashing LineageOS 15.1 on your device, or coming from another ROM?

1. Download the zip(s)
2. Install a compatible Recovery (I recommend twrp-3.2.1-0-sagit-blankaf-3.img as it works with /vendor (/cust) partition and February security patch decryption.)
3. Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)
4. Format data & wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache
5. Flash LineageOS
6. Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package
7. Reboot

"Bootloop!!!!" You need to "format data" as this rom is not FBE at the moment.

hope that battery drain is fixed on next releases. does QC working fine?

Just don't use the ROM.
XDA isn't meant to be personal. Just a webpage to share work.

If you don't like it just don't use it I guess.
Whatever gets done is usually added to github so any changes can be forked into others builds so improvement happens regardless of the developer abandoning the project etc.
That's the point of android development. Its open source so progress is shared.

Don't worry too much and go with the flow

Thanks for your hard work!
I flashed this ROM,and found a issues.
Every time I put the Sim card into the phone. it just pop up"com.android.phone has stopped"over and over again.
If there is no Sim card in it , it is normal.

LineageOS 15.1 - 25th Feb

• SELinux is now enforcing (Huge thanks to @DanWard)
• Upstream kernel to 4.4.118
• Blobs from MIUI Global Oreo 8.2.24
• Some misc tweaks
• Synced with LineageOS code

lineage-15.1-20180225-UNOFFICIAL-sagit.zip

NFC might still drain a lot of battery, disable it when you don't use it!

I am pretty sure goodix fingerprint sensor works but I can't test it as I have fpc, If someone tested the goodix fingerprint sensor would be appreciated! Confirmed working
If you find any bugs that weren't there in last build a logcat would be very appreciated!
