[ROM][Unofficial] LineageOS 14.1 for Xiaomi Mi Note 3

[dianlujitao]

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. 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.

Why arent you make a thread for mokee rom? Sorry if my question isnt related with this thread.

Amazing job!

I've flashed the latest version and tested it today. Runs really really smooth. Amazing job! :good:

There is a problem with the internal mic(s). It works only for sim calls. I tried recording a video and also I did a video call but there was no audio recording from the mic(s). But instead I connected a headset, and the mic audio from the headset worked.

I'll still use this rom as my daily driver, I just can't stand MIUI!

Looking forward for future updates

Home button doesn't work

I tried this rom and the home button doesn't work.

 

[LordTonoicu]

I tried this rom and the home button doesn't work.

For me it works, but sometimes it doesn't. I relock the phone and then it works again. Weird

Maybe pocket mode doesn't work well with fpc fingerprint sensor. My device uses goodix so I blindly implemented for fpc.
When screen is black and proximity sensor is covered, fingerprint sensor will stop work, this is expected behavior. Can be disabled in Settings->Additional buttons. goodix works as expected but idk how it works with fpc.

 

[quyleanh]

Thank you for making the rom. Hope Mi Note 3 will have the sub forum soon!

My device uses goodix so I blindly implemented for fpc.

My fpc scanner/button does not work at all.
Also safetynet test fails on CTS profile.

I'll release a new build with OSS kernel and bug fixes&new features soon.

Thank you very much for responding mate! More power!

It is possible if it is ported to LOS14 of this device.

I reinstalled a lot of times this Rom, I updated to latest version (05/02) and the home button doesn't work...Are there more than one button model?

Hey there, I flashed this https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74893764&postcount=1431 and it works, kinda. I mean the portrait mode works , but right after you take the photo, the app crashes but the photo is still saved.

Update: I flashed the latest version (05/02) and the mic works. I also deactivated "Prevent accidental wake-up" and the fingerprint works all the time, and also the battery life seems to have improved, or it might be just me

Amazing job. Thanks a ton @dianlujitao !
