Lineage OS 16? - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

I just want to ask, I've been confused. Will there be an Official build of Lineage OS 16 for our phones? Seem like they always get abandoned or taken down.

I dont think our device will get official LOS 16. Poco F1, which is more popular and released earlier than mi a2 still hasn't gotten official LOS 16.

Poco F1 was amongst first devices that received official LOS 16.0. https://download.lineageos.org/beryllium
But to answer OP, the answer is maybe. There's no definite yes or no to it.

My bad, i just didn't see the official LOS 16 on Poco F1's XDA

I really hope it happens soon. This device really needs it,, we need the help of our developers to achieve this ?

Expected support for lineage OS and other privacy focused custom roms

So.. this should support lineage fairly easily since it's part of project treble right? Because my next phone definitely needs to run lineage and microg.
What's the history of taking camera apps of xiaomi and running them in lineage?
U can unlock bootloader, u will get Snapdragon, kernel source will be released by Xiaomi and price + hardware is more than good. I'm sure u will get LineageOS.

As far as I've checked Xiaomi has only released Mi 8 SE's kernel source right? Nothing for Mi 8 yet. Theoretically building LOS for Mi 8 right now is very very hard without kernel source right?

Till now Xiaomi only released Mi8 SE's kernel. Mi8 might follow tomorrow. Or next month. Or ...... nobody knows...
MIUI 10 works pretty well (even for a hardcore Lineage fan like me)

Yep, correct. MIUI isn't too bad.

LOS, Pixel Experience, OxygenOS

I am guessing we won't get this roms without the Mi 9T Pro being available globally and we will NEVER get this rom if Mi 9T Pro will not be released??

There are a lot of very good Indian devs that will get their hands on this in a coupe of weeks.
Unfortunately for the global community, by the time the 9T Pro is released interest in this will have dropped off, as something else will have come along to excite people.
In the meantime there is Andy Yan's LOS GSI.

Have you personally tried Andy Yan's LOS? I am currently on EU rom and I'm not newbie abt flashing, but GSI flashing to be honest is something I never tried and I can't seem to find a descent tutorial to get the job done. Could you please help me out?

Not yet. Still got 3 days until I can unlock the phone. It will be the first ROM I'll install.
Installing a GSI is only a couple of extra steps.
Check out this for K20 Pro specifics
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Xiaomi-Redmi-K20-Pro - you'll want to then head to the Mi 9 page as it is the same installation instruction.
Then this for generic installation.

If the 9t Pro is released, why would that not be a good thing for this phone? They are virtually identical with just more bands supported on the 9t Pro. All we'd need is a good kernel then we could throw in whatever GSI then your away laughing. Its still such early days.

It will be a good thing, but it could be a lot better if it was available now. The point I was trying to make was that by the time it arrives some developers may have lost interest, decided it's not worth the wait and gone and bought something that is readily available. The last rumour of its release was that it will be 'after summer' (winter for you guys in the south). So that could be another 3 months away, enough time to turn off potential developers.
I think you should wait for the developer to fix pop up camera won't retrack on all GSI rom.

Andy Yan has fixed it in his LOS GSI. Phhuson is looking at tidying up the fix before adding it to his main GSI branch.

Try GSIs for OnePlus 7 pro. Since much of the hw is similar it should be pretty stable as well
BTW, is it possible to flash GSI with bootloader locked as it's possible to flash system image in fastboot as well

When is the last security update for MI A2

Good day, friends!
Can anyone tell me when is the last security update for MI A2? Is there schedule from Xiaomi?
middle of next year as far as i know, 3 years of security patches and 2 of major updates, it was released early-mid 2018 so i guess we got our 2 major updates o -> p and p -> q.
based on the mi a1 history that's not getting android 10 i would guess by the end of the year xiaomi is off the hook with support.
it's very goood news that lineage picked it up officially together with all the sd660 xiaomi phones

nope lineage 17.1 is android 10 based.
it's gonna be funny, unlike xiaomi they actually merge the monthly security patch within days of release. and with one of the head devs from lineage workin on it we can expect to have some very nice support too.
ill take this occasion to thank the lineage team once again, it's exactly what the mi a2 needed! and once things get going a serious slap on the face for xiaomi and how they handled their android one program!

the official version is prepped but all lineage builds are currently delayed after an issue they had. when they sort out their build servers there should be an official release. you can find more info on the lineage reddit.

I have error Whoops - this page doesn't exist trying to download Lineage Recovery for mi a2 https://download.lineageos.org/jasmine_sprout Why?:crying:
builds are still mia. they tried to bring the build servers back last night but not yet ready.
give it a bit longer, what's important is that the a2 is supported, a few more days/weeks for them to restart builds? maybe?
p.s. they hate eta's it will be fixed when it's fixed, unlike xiaomi they are doing this as a hobby on their spare time. xiaomi has 0 excuses for the way they handle the android one program, lineage does: first they dont make money off it, second most of them have actual jobs and work on lineage just on their spare time. that's why it's gonna be soo funny once users start using the official lineage for it and enjoy it far more then the official xiaomi rom.
bookmark that link, it's the only place where you'll find the official lineage rom. be warry of anythng that's not downloaded from the official site.

Question Can I install a custom ROM for the Mi 10 on the Mi 11?

I have a Mi 11 and I want to replace MIUI 12 with something else because it performs really bad on rhythm games like BangDream and Project Sekai (lag, stutter, FPS drop).
I'm interested in the LineageOS PixelExperience ROMs. However, they only have released ROMs for the Mi 8 and Mi 10 but not Mi 11.
Once I have TWRP on my Mi 11, can I install one of the ROMs that was made for the Mi 8 or Mi 10?
If I can, will there be any issues?
Are you serious?

Yes, I'm really tired of MIUI lag and stutter on rhythm games. I've put up with it on Redmi Note 3 and on the Mi 8 for years. I finally upgraded to Mi 11 thinking that even with MIUI's bad performance on rhythm games, the Snapdragon 888 would be enough to run the games without FPS drop and stutter but that wasn't the case.
So yeah, at this point I'm willing to try anything if it means I can use something that is not MIUI.
I dont know if phones are like PCs. I've installed Linux, Windows, and even MacOS on the same PC I built with custom hardware so I dont yet know of a reason why this wouldn't work with phones.
Do you have a reason to believe it won't work? What's so unique about a Mi 8 ROM compared to a Mi 11 ROM?

A ROM is not changing your shoes man... Before asking your question, you already know the answer... NO
Install a custom ROM like Lineage & PixelExperience or waiting MIUI 13.... YES
But actually there no custom roms AOSP available and MIUI 13 is scheduled for october.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know MIUI 13 was coming so soon. When MIUI 13 is released, will there be custom ROMs available for the Mi 11?
or why did you say to wait until MIUI 13 is released?

MIUI 13 deserve to waiting because he will based on Android 12. And for custom roms, just wait, device is not old and less expensive... so maybe some builder/modder will working on. LineageOS is bootable from few days, so if an AOSP base is available, with TWRP recovery in addition, a lot of ROMS should be available in the next months

I see, it's good to know there will likely be ROMS available soon
What did you mean by "LineageOS is bootable from few days" ?

mate let us know what works or no if you try any of these.personaly im interesting
well mi11 pro and ultra share the same development.
worst part is that a dev must have the device to build the device tree so everyone can build for the device.
theres a fundraising going on but xda-notdevelopers doesn't allow devs to work unless they profit from it ^^

I used it for a week... Almost flawless but there is only one release, there is not an update. MIUI camera is not working, so that's the downside.

Was it abandoned? Camera not working might be a deal breaker if it was. Hoping for Lineage or Pixel experience soon, something like that.
