I posted this in the main thread for Mokee but didn't get any help, so.. here it is.
I have Mokee 5.1.1 with the Mokee Gapps package and CWM r11 running.
I'm aware that the system partition must not be modified in any way for the update to work. I've uninstalled/converted a couple apps via Titanium Backup but I have backups, so these apps/changes are easily restorable to the previous state.
Now, I have the latest incremental .zip downloaded.
How do I successfully flash it? Please help.
First flash TWRP recovery then try. CWM recovery is not supported for updates. TWRP recovery should automatically install the update without an issue. Else try a clean flash and the try the updates from mokee center in the settings.

Hey, just saw your post, i guess I also replied on your original post. Use TWRP, incremental zip downloads are flashed as usual. in TWRP menu, select install, select location of zip file & than install, That's it.
Updated to latest Release
Ok. Here's an update -- I'm on the latest release as of this moment & this might hopefully help someone.
I installed the latest TWRP for Cancro (Mi3) using the .img file from the official website and the Rashr app.
(see OP) I tried to restore the uninstalled default Google Pinyin Keyboard app but it was force closing. Did not want to proceed with OTA with this since a successful Mokee OTA requires the system partition to be unmodified.
I then dirty flashed* the full ROM -- 5th June (20150605) Release -- zip. I was on the 20th May Release version.
173 apps took about 10 minutes to optimize on first boot.
Everything is now working fine. I was on the Mokee Gapps package and the Play Store et all are working.
Will update with details of OTA success/failure on the next Release.
*I managed to not wipe dalvik/cache before the dirty flash, making this an extremely dirty flash. You should wipe them & also, obviously, take a backup of apps, contacts, messages etc. & a nandroid backup via TWRP before flasing the zip.
Hi
after flashing the open gapps (open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160723 or open_gapps-arm-6.0-aroma-20160723) I got this:
"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped"" application crashed message again and again
but after flashing CM13 again (maybe i forgot to wipe data) CM13 work good but with google now laucher :/
to flash I use TWRP (newest version)
Is there any possibility to have google play store but without google now on CM13?
EDIT: Never mind, after seeing this error wipe data + flash CM13 but without installing GAPPS i restoring option from previous device make it working with gapps (I don't know why gapps are installed but they are and they work so it's ok to me )
Hello people.
I am trying to install a Rom + working Google Play Store for 6 hours now and I have no luck.
I tried CM13, Dirty Unicorn and Slim. None worked.
GApps I tried: OpenGapps 6.0 Pico, Banks Dynamic, DU Gapps Black. All for 6.x.x
I am using TWRP 2.8.7.0 .
Now when I flash the GApps, the old Play Store is installed, which doesn't have Pokemon Go yet.
When I restart my phone, it updates(?) somehow and I can see Pokemon Go.
Now after this update, I am unable to install any App.
It is really frustrating for me.
Procedure I follow in TWRP:
1. Wipe Cache/System/Data
2. Choose the Rom + add more zips -> and than the GApps.
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Reboot.
I would hope for help guys!
Downgraded to 5.1 (SkyDragon 8.0) and it works there. It is a Marshmallow problem as it happened on ViperOne 9.0.0 as well for me.

You don't need root for GApps. You only need TWRP. you can flash gapps from opengapps website. Take the Pico package as it light and easy on the sys storage.flash it via TWRP and you're good to go.

Hey,
So after a lot of observation and reading I think LOS 17.1 seems stable enough to be used for a daily driver.
Right now I am on the normal stock ROM, without any modifications, no TWRP, no root whatsoever.
However, I have unlocked the bootloader a few months ago, so that's done already.
Current state of the phone:
Code:
MIUI version: 11.0.1.0 (QFKMIXM) - Is this the global version?
Device model: Mi 9T Pro (128GB, 6GB RAM)
I want to install TWRP, I want to root the phone, I want to install all needed modules for a proper camera etc, I want to install LineageOS 17.1 (latest build) and lastly I want to install Immensity Kernel (latest build) because I have heard it works well with LOS and provides lots of battery improvements.
I did lots of tinkering with my phone a couple years back, but I haven't done so in a while, and neither have I done anything with this device, so to make sure I am not breaking anything I decided its the best to ask here.
What steps do I have to provide in which order? Can someone provide my a detailed explanation of all the needed steps?
Also, can I install MicroG on it, or do I have to use GApps?
My guess is, first TWRP and root, then ROM and then kernel?
Also, I have read about some issues with Magisk and Android 10, is that still a problem, or is that solved by now?
Anything else I need to look out for?
Cheers

Make sure you are in the latest version of MIUI first.
For TWRP flash the latest Mauronofrio TWRP, he has the official TWRP, but his unofficial, latest version is probably a better option at its a little bit more up to date.
Once you've flashed TWRP you will need to boot immediately in to TWRP without allowing the phone to boot into MIUI, otherwise the phone will detect that recovery had been modified and will restore stock recovery.
When you've booted into TWRP, format data (needs to be format and not only wipe), then wipe cache and dalvik.
Reboot into TWRP, to ensure that the newly formatted data partition is correctly mounted.
Now flash lineage and a GApps package. I've only used Open GApps Pico, but I believe microG should be OK. If you use Open GApps it is still in beta and packages larger than the micro package are likely to cause issues, so stick with micro, pico or nano. (For clarification, micro G is a GApps package, what you are really asking is do you need to use Open GApps or not)
The latest Magisk is fine now. It is recommended to boot into LOS first at least once before flashing Magisk. I can't remember the details but sometimes you may get issues if you flash Magisk after flashing a ROM, without booting to the ROM first. You may be fine if you don't boot the ROM first, but since I've forgotten the reasons and can no longer find it, I now boot the ROM before flashing Magisk, just to be safe.
From here, you should be OK to flash different kernels, personally I've never felt the need to, as I'm happy with the performance of things as they are. My battery life is similar to what it was on stock MIUI. If you want to try kernels other than Immensity, just double check first that it is for AOSP ROMs. There are some kernels that have been created that are only compatible with Stock MIUI.
For the camera, I believe the latest advice for ANX Cam is still version 158 along with the 48MP fix for Q ROMs. There are a few later versions, which are not appropriate for this phone. I don't believe there has been a later version for this phone.
Edit: just noticed your question in the quote.
You have the global version of the phone. AFAIK 11.0.1 is still the latest version of the global version of MIUI.

Do I also need the force encrypt file? Some people mention it needs to be flashed too?
How do I properly install twrp? I boot into fastboot mode, and then I can flash it, I assume?
In the thread it also states that one should first flash vbmeta?
EDIT: Ok, I flashed vbmeta and twrp, booted into twrp, formated data and wiped dalvik and cache.
Now should I flash LOS next and then gapps ..? Which GApp package is the right one for 17.1? It is not linked in the LOS thread?
I've read that some people had issues when flashing the wrong gapps package
EDIT2: Ok, so far I have persisted TWRP and installed magisk. I flashed LOS 17.1 (latest build) and booted into it. I did not flash gapps yet as I dont know which gapps package to use. Also I would prefer to use microG if possible, but I dont think its possible to install it easiely? If it is, please let me know.
Now, the issue is, for some reason after the clean install of LOS17.1 I still see google apps like google drive (remember, I did not flash gapps). This shouldn't be the case? I did format data and cleared dalvik and cache, so it is a bit weird that this happens...
Also I constantly get "android.process.media keeps stopping" .. I assume that is because some applications try to access google service, which are not correctly available? What did I do wrong?
So my questions are:
1) Is it possible to use microG (opensrc implementation of google services), rather than gapps? If so, how?
2) If I need to use GApps, which one to flash?
3) Why were google apps still present on my device after flashing and formatting data ..?

There is no need to flash force encrypt files or vbmeta.
I have never used MicroG so couldn't give any answers about that, however Open GApps are open source too. For android 10 it is still in beta. The beta files can be found here https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/beta/20191209/. Pico is the smallest package that gives Google Play, personally I recommend going with that, then installing any other Google stuff from the play store, should you want them.
No idea why you would be seeing Google apps. I can only suggest formatting data again in TWRP.
If that doesn't work I would start again. Fastboot flash the latest MIUI 11.0.1 global ROM, boot into it once, there is no need to go through the set-up. Then go through the steps given before.
This time don't flash vbmeta, it is not needed.
The fastboot ROM can be found here http://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.1.0....M_20191111.0000.00_10.0_global_11d3a1700a.tgz
Edit:
Having seen some of your other posts, I'll give you some more info.
vbmeta is mainly used to persist TWRP. However flashing Magisk will persist TWRP and flashing a custom ROM will persist TWRP. You would only need to flash vbmeta if you wanted to stay on MIUI and not use Magisk. (There are other uses for vbmeta, but you don't need them, so I'll not go into them)
Is widevine L1 available on the ROM? Is the FOD working well?
