When is the last security update for MI A2 - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

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.

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)

Lineage OS 16?

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 ?

Any news about android 10 roms for mi5?

Thanks for your reply,
I couldn't find pixel experience android 10 rom for mi5 and the los17 gemini repository in github is inactive
Unofficial los 17 rom for mi5 is here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/rom-lineageos-17-0-xiaomi-mi-5-t3981841
Ya, LOS is there I can see. No thread for PE-10 yet. I've found that on several Mi5 channels on telegram. Monstermite made a youtube video as well, you can check. May be we're gonna get some other Android-10 based roms for our almost 4 years old device in upcoming days..which is pretty cool I guess.

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.
