Lineage OS 16.0 (Android 9.0 Pie) For Redmi 4A (Rolex)

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9.0(Pie), 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.
Broken:
Sepolicy is still permissive
Nothing else
Working:
Camera (and flashlight)
WiFi
Bluetooth
Telephony (Calls and Data)
Audio (Record and Playback)
Video Playback
Sensors
GPS
VoLTE
Compatibility:
Compatible with all Xiaomi Redmi 4A and Redmi 5A variants (16GB / 32GB), other Redmi devices are not supported.
Builds are based off the Xiaomi's Android 7.1 firmware with proprietary blobs from MIUI 8.3.29 dev package.

Thx developer for porting the backup of lineage is 16.1
But is very buggy all apps crash (even pixel setup)
So I could not able to enter the phone
I tried flashing with out gapps the phone booted up and opened
But all apps crash like gallery, fille explorer etc
The above one is of lineage is 16.0 back up
The carbon ROM backup also had the same type of problems but for the first time it did not even boot up
Plz developer fix these bugs
Would like to see the ROM fully functional in The near future

Yup I tried it
Good but
Apps force close and force crash every time
If you flash gapps you can't even enter the phone
Because the pixel setup crashes

Is it Gapps related bugs or rom related? In several unofficial Lineage 16 for other Redmi devices, most of the bugs are solved after the latest unofficial open gapps is released. 20th Aug build I believe.
Update: here it is https://builds.nezorfla.me/?dir=opengapps/pie/arm64/20180820

I tried flashing with old gapps 20180811 version
When I tried booting into the phone pixel setup was not working and I could not enter in the phone
When I tried with out flashing gapps at first boot
The phone started and was good but all apps crash or force close
So practically if you want to know how android p will be u can use that for just seeing it
But currently you cant use it as daily driver

Nice port bro, good job <3

Please stop doing such misleading threads.
This is just a backup of an installation with treble + gsi, you didnt do anything here.
You didnt even edit the install instructions...

[9.0|PIE][SEMI-GSI]Pixel Experience 9.0 V3 [NOTE9/S9/S9+]

Pixel Experience ROM for the Galaxy S9+ and the Galaxy S9​
What is this?
Pixel Experience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)
Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential features for the proper functioning of the device
Based on Android 9.0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Semi-GSI? what's that?
a semi-gsi (at least by my own definition) is a gsi built from source, with heavy patches intended for a specific device that wouldn't make the gsi necessarily as universal as a gsi should be. so in terms: don't flash this on other devices.
How does this differ from any other gsis out there/what are the features?
Well this includes a number of fixes including:
Dual speakers are working.
Ui lag is no more (at least 99.99%).
Aod is working/enabled.
Auto brightness is kinda working.
MTP is working
Other performance fixes and improvments.
What's working/not working?
First up:
Obviously Samsung's own features such as Samsung Pay, KNOX, Theme Center, Game Launcher, etc. won't be ported to LineageOS Pixel Experience. We may have our own implementation to similar functions, though.
Iris sensor does not work because AOSP upstream does not support that yet.
IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc). Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port that to LineageOS PixelExperience.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2ndly the semi-gsi has a few quirks of it's own. Nothing major or worth noting but you should check the "anything else i should know?" part in the FAQ. hence why HWC is broken
Instructions:
Make sure TWRP has been installed and functional.
Download the latest build image and kernel linked below
Reboot to recovery
Wipe system, data and cache from the wipe menu
Select flash image in twrp, lower right side on the install menu
Flash the rom image as system (and gapps). DONT flash gapps. they are already included in the rom.
Flash the kernel image corresponding to your model as boot
Reboot and enjoy :victory:

You are more than welcome to provide any kind of feedback here.

You can also msg me anytime on telegram @ Rainbow_Alex_Dash

I usually like to hang around here . It isn't mine but hey.
Changelog:
12.10.2018:

V3:
Fixed apn issues; should be automatically added and set now.
Added fingerprint hal; doesn't fix much still a wip
Synced source from the latest pixelexperience upstream
Video Review:
YOUTUBE
Troubleshooting/FAQ:
Q:Can i use any other kernels with this gsi?
A:Nah, not really. I built this kernel specifically to work with this gsi and it includes a few major fixes (for example mtp won't work,major ui lag, no dual speakers etc if you switch to another kernel. But again. If you want to use other kernels, they should* boot. Endurance kernel even has my dual speaker patch and i confirm as working. But again expect bugs.
Q: Is there anything else i should know?
A: Ehhhhhhh, not really. I mean there are some stuff i'm really not proud of,for example to "fix" the ui lag i had to set the minimum gpu frequency to 455; this shouldn't create any issues(perhaps some battery drainage when screen is on) but afaik it doesn't impact sleep or anything else.
Q: My mobile data (3G/4G) is not working
A: Go into network settings and select/create an apn
Q:Would this be preferred over a device specific rom?
A: Overall nah. The reason i didn't set on building device specific los16.....well actually i did and failed. But this is a pretty good placeholder until someone more skilled than me takes over and creates pie device trees.
Q: Safetynet doesn't pass?
A: Yeah, i guess that's a thing. Go into magisk and download some module called props hide or something. Don't forget to run it from terminal. It should work from there
Q: The rom isn't booting/camera doesn't work
A: Flash/make sure you have the BRI4 vendor, the linked kernel and try again.
Q: The rom is in a bootloop/google apps keep crashing
A: You did read the instructions and NOT flash any gapps riighhttt?? smh, wipe /system,/data and /cache and start over
Q: I have another bug; How can i tell it to you while slightly increasing my changes of it ever getting fixed.
A: You can tell me what's going on either here or on telegram WITH A LOGCAT attached(required);if rom isn't booting at all attach /proc/last_kmsg.
Q: I don't know what/how to logcat. Is it really necessary?
A: Logcat or gtfo
Q: How can i support you?
A: Awwww thanks; On most of my posts on the left side there's a "donate to me" paypal button; You can use that,donations are more than welcome, or if you don't have any $ to spare you can also post here about how awesome i am (this surprisingly helps very much)
Credits:
The lineageos team; device maintainers who did a wonderful job at creating device trees
The pixel experience team for creating the rom we so do enjoy
Many good people from the telegram group (linked above) that helped me create this project and spamming for etas

Which model nr are you?
The ideal way of doing it was to have the latest vendor installed (i have BRI4 rn) wipe /system, /cache and /data. Flash just the system img and the kernel img and it should boot just fine. Can you try this?

So far so good. Recording video on my s9+ screen flashes green, stereo speakers work on SoundCloud but not with play music, still testing. Thanks

System_Image for the rom and Boot for the kernel.
I installed the latest Benzorom 9 and this works!
Than again your rom without your kernel, it goes than further, the Google boot animation doesnt disapeared, but cant boot into system.
So something must be wrong in the kernel for the 960F version.

Hmmmm. I'm not gonna lie, i haven't actually tested the g960 variant since i have the plus model but ok.
Has anyone with a small s9 booted the rom using the kernel?

@Oel can you try this for the small s9 pls?

Hi, do we have an option to disable the fingerprint unlock vibration? If no, can we have it please? Also, Thanks for this wonderful work of yours

Notes From telegram group TWRP Update
Starting this build, recovery supports flashing stock firmware without modifying the updater-script. In order for it to be possible ,ro.product.device has to be set to ASUS_X00TD. This, however, breaks flashing of custom ROMs that check for either X00TD or X00T. I'll upload latest XenonHD build that can be flashed on this recovery.Simply supporting it doesn't mean that you can flash stock firmware directly; you need to be at least on stock when you flash the recovery, so required properties can be exported to /persist which then will be set on every recovery boot up.
Still not sure though, as some ROMs check for ro.product.device and then fallback to ro.build.product for matching devices.

Works, no problems. good job. Thank you

can i flash to stock 340, android 8.1 ?

Yes

so, is this recovery able to flash FW that downloaded from asus website?
without single edit?
and what about encryption?
i'am planning to flash stock pie 0.53 from ressurection remix pie.

So can I just flash the full rom without modifying it?

Also, I recommend stick with RR ROM ,Stock update is still a waste.

GSI testing thread [First GSI booted!!!]

Okay so as you guys know, development has commenced on this device with Grarak bringing out a surprisingly complete TWRP. But it'll still be some time before we will get custom ROMs.
What's our solution in the meanwhile? GSIs! Generic system images are ROMs compiled to be able to run on as many devices as possible (theoretically, of course.)
Now that we have a TWRP, it will be much easier to flash these images and check if they boot (and restore stock ROM if they don't)
Now as our device has a Pie vendor, it should be able to run any Pie or below GSI that's thrown at it, but that's just theoretically speaking.
I have already tried a GSI and will try a couple more as soon as time permits, and am planning to make a list here of GSIs in the 2nd post known to work or not to work. Of course, I am just a single person, so anybody who can, grab a GSI of your favourite ROM and try it out. Don't forget to report your results in this thread so we can make a fairly complete list.
Tips for flashing in 3rd post.
A list of all known GSIs is here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
Good luck!

Tips:
How I got LOS to boot:
1. Got Andy Yan's latest LOS build FOR A/B DEVICES! And DM-verity disabler from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389 (Thanks zack5ptg!). Remove "forceencrypt" from the zip's filename or it will disable encryption too, which will be a MAJOR security hole.
2. Flashed GSI image and then DM-verity disabler from TWRP
3. Formatted data (FORMATTED, not wiped)
4. Booted!
NOTE: For Pie or Oreo GSIs, use an A/B image, because they're system-as-root like our device while the A-only images are traditional system!
If you want to flash system mods but it says there isn't any free space, go to TWRP > Wipe > Advanced and press resize system, and swipe.
To fix brightness in GSIs, from terminal after su or from ADB do:
setprop persist.sys.phh.samsung_backlight 1
To fix corners on GSIs, put https://treble.phh.me/treble-overlay-toto.apk in /system/overlay or /vendor/overlay and chmod 755
The A705FN might need extra steps, as the author explains here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/how-to/guide-how-to-boot-gsi-treble-roms-t3957528
I don't think this needs to be said, but Magisk or any other system mod lowers your chances of booting any ROM. So first you should try to boot just the GSI with no gimmicks.
If that doesn't work for you, maybe check out what makes GSIs on our little brother A50 tick?
(NOTE: I dunno if this will or wonlt work on A70 so proceed with some caution)

WDYM by TWRP not being Treble compatible? The recovery doesn't have anything to do with it. Just flaah the system.img into the system slot, wipe data and boot (after a backup/firmware download, of course) (⊙_⊙)

Yeeehaw, here's the big update, I booted LOS on this device!
First GSI booted! Guess I got bragging rights.
(It's still the AndyYan build, I was just being dumb before).
Moved the LOS into working list and posted a walkthrough of how I did it in the 3rd post. Just 4 simple steps.
Come on, time to try more!

[ROM]-Working MIUI PIE for Mi Max 2 Oxygen [9]-[stable-ish][Port MM3]

Android Version : MIUI 10 Pie 9 Ported From MM3 Easy recovery install.
You should be having proper knowledge of flashing Custom ROM and how to Restore a phone if anything goes wrong.
Take complete backup before taking any action based on this thread. I am not responsible for any action taken by you.
I am just compiling all the information / files available on different websites into this thread, I have patched together with cyber spit, bubblegum, and tape, for a pretty much fully working Miui 10 PIE running rom. I have removed what I believe to be all of the bloat. Worked to modify a working miui pie vendor. Magisk 19.4 installer is all ready included as well as the modified boot for root access. The playstore installer is also included for a fully functioning playstore.
All Credit goes to respective developer/s included in the install.txt within the zip file. I request XDA moderator and or Developer of Respective files to let me know if I have forgotten to mentioned (give credit) their name in this thread. The Download Links are given directly from respective Developer/s.
You need the following two files to Test MIUI PIE on Mi Max 2 (Oxygen). This ROM recovery is ported from the Xiaomi MM3 with many patches and customized from various sources. This ROM maybe Stable enough for your daily use on Mi Max 2. I have access to two MM2 4/64 Global versions using a 1tb sd card one on At&t the other on Tmobile and all features I need are currently working.
1a. Treble Mi Max 2 Recovery 3.2.1 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528056270
1b. OrangeFox Recover 10
https://sourceforge.net/projects/orangefox/files/oxygen/OrangeFox-R10.0-Stable-oxygen.zip/download
2. MIUI 10 Pie ROM ported from MM3.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1KfWqQmi7bN_yXZfgVzxiifWuS2jDozCr
First step:
Start your phone into recovery and Flash a Treble recovery, if already not flashed. Restart into Recovery.
Click Wipe then Advance wipe and clear System, Vendor, Boot, Data, Cache, and Dalvick cache. No need to wipe internals per txt.
Second step:
Now Extract the Downloaded Rom files in Recovery backup folder. You should know where and how to Extract. (Use extract tool for android or pc then copy paste to recovery backup folder.)
Third step:
Click Restore and Select System, Boot, Vendor and Swipe to confirm. Wait for restore to complete. If any errors, Reboot recovery and try again. Or Mount the System, Vendor, Boot and try again. After Restore completes Reboot. Please allow 3-5 Minutes for first boot.
What works:
Cell Service, Wifi 5ghz/2.4ghz, Bluetooth, Torch, Camera, Fingerprint, Sound, Auto Brightness, On Screen & HW buttons.
Now verified from users : LTE , Face unlock.
What doesn't work:
Some people can't log in to Xiaomi account ( I do not use it, So I can not verify either or).
I do not have dual 4G sims so I can not verify if its working. There may be potential signal problems for some user but I didn't faced in USA with Tmobile, Or AT&T operators.
Eye protection mode/ reading mode 100% does not work, But similar apps available within the play store.
Since base MIUI PIE rom is Chinese version no Gapps included. To get Play store DO NOT flash Gapps. Run Play.Store.Installer (Included)
Guys, this is a nearly perfect MIUI PIE package for our lovely Xiaomi Mi Max 2 (Oxygen).
If I missed anything in the above, kindly let me know to include. If you make any further updates / patches that makes this ROM more stable / perfect or enables new features, please don't hesitate to message me to include in this thread.
I have an old PC running windows with 8gb max at any one given time, So if you would like to make the recovery image into a flashable zip, I'd be happy to update/add it.
If you can afford it, Im trying to save for a computer from this decade, any help is appreciated

If you would like to use the boot, vendor, system, or any other files, All I ask is pass on the proper credits. With this we should be able to have a fully functioning android Q in the near future (Currently toying around with fair progress in the free time).

I am not including any Screen Shot as all MIUI Roms looks same and there is No major UI change based on Android Version in MIUI.

only vendor is necessary and no need to wipe internal storage.
vendor will be restore from rom installation file.

I flashed the rom.
Every app from google playstore ask for wifi setup inorder to get installed .( To fix that change settings from download app)
Fingerprint data disappears after a reboot. Fingerprint unlock is a bit slow. Itz OK. But face unlock works quick
LTE Works without any problem.
The inbuilt keyboard is a bit weird though
Kernal used is Hardrock 3.18.134
Also, can't sign-in to MI account. (I don't need it actually)
Other than these. It is smooth.

You can flash V5 kernel

You can freely flash on miui pie , it's fully compatible..

What's about echo and in-call volume bugs? Present in this rom?

I clarify you one thing

The in call volume bugs is there and will be there for every each pie rom of max 2, till it get solved by updated source code and that's not possible, so it will be there for ever..
Echo is not present for me and even I gave audio echo fix , long ago..
But the result differs , for some its completely removed the echo, for some it worked partially and they get acceptable echo that is too low , and for some it always there.. so it depends
For me there is not a bit of echo.. after my fix.. remaining issues are with source codes from MI , that is too outdated to fix these issues..

Hotspot doesn't work. USB tethering works.

Yesss.... Success....

Horrible built(but not now as devs told me)...
I just tried this ROM. This is the ever built tremendous ROM. Even(everything working perfect) (ignore next line) u can't see ur Google contacts even in official Google contact app. And every stock app are in Chinese language (and love Chinese language coz I m from india). Camera(now working as ppls told me) can't switch between different mods. Just role back(now on havoc 2.8 as mentioned by my new friend from xda but didn't remember his name lol sorry) to new ROM after in few hours. Plz ( do it again and again coz u devs are awesome and sorry for my review on this rom I m noob and don't know anything about dev things)( ignore all negative things from this post) don't do this again without testing custom ROM.
Thank u devs for ur jaw dropping work on custom ROMs.
Thanks a lot again.
