Wifi does connect, but everytime i restarted it will not auto connect and require wifi password everytime i reboot, other than that smooth.

In addition to above problem i mention. if i turn off wifi i won't be able to turn on unless restart.
Okay...I am pretty sure it is the problem of the kernel
Somehow i used the N kernel you gave davecotefilm, and the wifi is working now..XD I am a happy man. The only problem is the message that pop up at boot, "Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing"

private mode works i only tested with that https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862699825 kernel. As the bundle kernel with travis82 N rom might be broken. :cyclops:

That justs means the kernel is set to permissive. Personally, i think its better that way.
The rom is lack of simplified chinese characters. Is there a ways to fix it too?
---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 AM ----------
Oh my god, i fixed it lol..XDD i am just pure lucky. I replaced this file in fonts SECHans-Regular.otf taken From MM rom.
Also fixed all the symbol error like pounds "£"
New rom repacked let me know if better or worse I'll give it one more shot if its worse lol, but am waiting for N for our devices just like you. Just wanted the community to feel Nougat that wasn't Chinese firmware. I'm waiting for the release too so I can update the Lineage 14.1 drivers and ramdisk and kernel. I'm afraid if I do that now, a bit will change when its available via ota and make my work moot.
Enjoy
Thanks!

Just downloaded the new ROM. As a beginner this is such a thrill. I used to root and rom in the past, but haven't done anything in awhile. Look forward to testing this all out, and providing feedback if warranted.:good:
Thanks for the hard work you put into making this possible

Hi @travis82, The rom works so far so good, just one question, why the samsung theme store is in Chinese, and it ask for phone, contact, and storage access. I flashed Dave's auroa N before yours, but I did format the data. so I'm wondering if the theme store is embended in the rom? And why the app's name displays in Chinese?
thanks,
14.6 flat out doesn't work for me. 14.5 works but has a looping logcat issue that generates around 30gb of logs a day and drains battery in a hurry. Works ok for me, but won't work for my wife's phone (having her go in once every day or two to clear the logs is a non-starter). 14.37 is reported by some as working without the issue, but I can't find it anywhere. I attempted a build from source, however there is an issue with the sub module pull of SE linux for that tag, so I'm unable to build it myself. 14.0 isn't an option as it won't install on an Essential PH-1.
The segfault with v14.6 on Essential phones is known. No idea if it can be fixed though. Let's hope so...
Meanwhile, you can find old release on GitHub.

Since I'm not a dev and I'm on my phone and have the exact same problem (Magisk tell me to update to 14.6 and it cause bootloop, I have flah my phone with a backup to unbrick it), do you know where to find a useable version of Magisk 14.5, like you download and flash and it works?
And why do the dev erase old beta versions? It makes things complicated for no reasons... Magisk 14.5 was the only one to work on my phone. 14 don't works and 14.6 creates bootloop.

For future reference, there's also the unofficial snapshots, where you can find builds by @DodoGTA and @kantjer.
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.
Downloads:
LINK REMOVED BY MODERATOR
Notice:
No custom kernels are supported in this thread. Only stock kernel and official builds will be supported. No bug reports if that's not the case.
Installation:
Reboot to recovery (Custom TWRP recovery for Redmi 4A - Direct link)
Format /system, /data and /cache
Install LineageOS zip package
Install Magisk 16.4 For root permission
Install [optional] a Google Apps package of your choice (Open GApps is advisable, but stock and super variants are not recommended!!!)
Credits & collaborations:
This work is due to efforts from RedmiDevs founding members that did the full device bring-up. Huge thanks to @tEaM Tentacles for all the help during that bring-up.
Finally, all RedmiDevs & LineageOS team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!

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.

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...

Hi,
It seems noone so far tryed to flash a treble GSI to the redmi 6. Im courious in doing this, but would like to discuss potential risks. What could go wrong?
After some reading i found the possibility that devices get problems running Google Apps, since they we're not certified.
To prevent this, you can register your Google Services ID in your Google Account.
1) Install the App "device ID" from Playstore, run it and copy the GSF.
2) Open this Page and paste your GSF. Click register, and your done.
Another thing is that there are two types of GSI Updates.
Type A/B and Type A. I ran the App "treble Check" from Playstore and it tells me that the redmi 6 ist treble supported and that I need the Type A GSI
Then it seems necessary to remove magisk/superSu/xposed to have a clean boot Image.
Loosing data is no problem for me.
Anyone any suggestions?
Tell us what works and what doesn't work.
---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------
You use the TWRP in test ?
..i will not flash until i'm pretty Sure, nothing will go wrong.
I would like to understand what ist technicaly done.
After what i've read, its a normal fastboot flash, of the system partition. So, am I still able to run TWRP If anything goes wrong?
I guess the way to go, is to do a clean Fastboot flash of the official MiUi10 in advance to make sure my boot/ramdisk is clean. Then I would reflash TWRP and last the GSI.
What do you think?
(beside from 'let others risk their phone')
use this link for reference:
https://youtu.be/YI2CtIIPVaI
please, which treble GSI AOSP rom (8.1 or 9.0) advised with the most things working (calls, camera, fingerprint, sound...)??
thanks
i think Android 8.1 gsi rom is more stable as of now.
if u want to flash gsi rom
1. unlock bootloader by official way
2. flash twrp
3. do a factory reset in twrp
4. flash rom.
that's all.
nobody has tested yet?
no feed back on what's working and what doesn't?
I think i am gonna test soon, just gotta get some info... i was flashing intesively lot of phones in past, but now i had pause few years... seems lot of things changed - treble?! whaat?!
I just got this redmi 6, although i wanted 5, and seems it was big mistake, but nonetheless im gonna try and see. I dont remember any phone with 0 info and 0 feedback few years back.

Hey there everyone!
Since there are no custom ROM's currently available for our Redmi 6, i decided to give GSI ROM's a try. I tried los 15.1, and it worked! Wifi, bt, and even camera work. The only problem: The radio's don't work, so you cant make calls / sms /data. Other then that, the ROM is super fast and speedy. Also, there are no GApps and its not certified, so we gotta certify it I've tried only Lineage, but you can also try RR, HavocOS etc.
BTW, the Redmi 6 is ARM and A only.
Feedback from GSI Lineage OS
Hey Everyone!
I recently tried Lineage OS 15.1 GSI, and I've made a thread with all you wanna know here:

You don't need to fastboot flash the img, you can use TWRP too. And yes, TWRP works if anything goes wrong and worst case use Mi flash and rescue your phone. I tried los 15.1, here are my thoughts: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-6/how-to/rom-gsi-lineage-os-redmi-6-t3915146

Imo, this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-6/how-to/rom-gsi-lineage-os-redmi-6-t3915146) boots and works, but no calls :crying: If you want calls you'll need cereus's drivers. Don't expect everything to work with GSI.

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

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

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)

Are you sure about that?
What vendor did you have installed?
Did you flash the kernel too?

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

Which option are you selecting when you chose to flash the system img and kernel img?

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.

Downloading the rom, I will try the kernel and get back to you.
Flashed successfully on Exynos S9+. I can make calls but cannot receive calls. Any idea why?
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
