I've got a bit more time to reply now.
OFox is really designed to be used with MIUI. The majority of it's extra features are specific to running MIUI. I would only recommend it if you decide to stick with MIUI in the long run.
The TWRP I pointed to is from the dev who maintains the official TWRP for our device. The unofficial version you've installed is identical to the official version, but with the TWRP app removed. If you intend to stick with custom ROMs, I recommend you stick with TWRP from mauronofrio.
If you prefer to have your phone encrypted, then there was no need to flash fcrypt/DFE. There are a small number of users that continue to insist that we need to disable encryption, but it is not needed.
Having the phone unencrypted does make life a little easier when flashing, but if you prefer the security and want to know about living with an encrypted phone, reply back and I'll give you more details.

I tried Legion Os which is Aosp based and it installed fine but then i tried Masik X 16 which again said this isn't for your device so had to make changes in updater script then it flashed fine.
Also i would like to know about decryption of storage and would it cause any issues in flashing roms again nd again..

If you want to be permanently decrypted, then you will not have any problems flashing ROMs. However, whenever you need to update the vendor and firmware, you will also need to flash the DFE script again.
If you want to be encrypted, then the best thing to do, every time you flash, is to temporarily remove encryption by removing all lockscreen security just before flashing, then once you've finished, restore encryption by adding back lockscreen security. However, if you restore MIUI, then choose to go to another custom ROM, you will need to format the data partition when flashing over MIUI, even if you've removed lockscreen security first.

Ok that means going from miui to aosp & vice versa - format data needed.
So this should similarly apply to all Miui based roms like xiaomi.eu or masik x or it is just for stock miui.

As far as I know, you only need to format data when flashing over official MIUI. I don't know the details, but it is my understanding that encryption on MIUI does not follow standard practice, which is why it it's necessary to format data when flashing over MIUI. I don't believe this issue exists with MIUI based custom ROMs, or when reverting back to MIUI.
Though, there may be occasions, when flashing from one AOSP ROM to another, and the phone is encrypted, when you may get a bootloop. In this case booting to TWRP and formatting data, will fix the problem. This is why I earlier recommended temporarily removing lockscreen security, if you choose to have an encrypted phone, even though this is a rare occurrence.

Thanks for the info.
I tried custom miui rom and well flashing dfe worked fine so i think its just for official miui.
Hi,
I'm currently using a Magisk patched stock ROM for my G-973F with encryption enabled.
Is there any custom ROM that supports root and encryption (don't care if Samsung or AOSP, if FBE or FDE) while fully supporting the cameras?
It would be ideal if I can use TWRP with it.
Of course, it should ship updates regularly.
There are plenty of ROMs that have many features, but most of them don't mention encryption.
I hope someone can help me, or tell me if there isn't such a ROM.
Greetings,
Did anyone manage to get encryption working on any custom ROM for SM-800F?
Most of the custom ROMs I was able to find didn't even have SElinux enforced. The only ROM that seemed to have it enforced was LineageOS 14.1 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...t/g800f-m-y-lineageos-14-1-g800f-m-y-t3549055). When I try to encrypt the phone on that ROM, the green android symbol appears for a second, then the device reboots, but doesn't encrypt itself.
I have tried almost every LineageOS build available and many other ROMs (which seem to just be forks of LOS anyway), but none of them worked. I was only able to get the encryption working on the stock ROM.
I have already spent many days trying to solve the issue.
Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
** Standard Disclaimer: Unlocking your Bootloader will Void your Warranty. I take no responsibility for this or for any bricked devices. These thing should go without saying at this point, but there they are. If you are here, I assume you are familiar with LineageOS, TWRP, and moving from MIUI to AOSP-based ROMs**
I've built a clean version of LineageOS 17.1 for Mi 9 that includes Signature Spoofing, but no other modifications.
This will allow those who are interested to get full MicroG support without the need of using any sort of Patcher or Magisk/XPosed Module. YOu all may have used my previous LineageOS Clean,Stock ROM and this is just an updated build of that ROM + Signature Spoofing to make life easier for those who want MicroG.
I flashed this and followed the simple steps of installing F-Droid, adding the MicroG Repo, and Installing the necessary packages via F-Droid and confirmed MicroG Self-check passes all the tests (once you finish granting the necessary permissions for each).
I prefer this over the NanoDroid or other patching methods as a much cleaner way to use MicroG with LineageOS.
Proprietary Blobs/Device Tree are DRG-Developer's as referenced in their post: here
Kernel source is by DRG-Developer: here
Xiaomi Hardware package used is the primary LineageOS from their github here
My reason for this is that there does not seem to be an officially-supported build for our device on the LineageOS for MicroG project or a recent, unofficial build.
What Works:
Pretty much everything from what I can tell
Fingerprint Sensor it working like a champ so far.
DT2W/DT2S
NFC Seems to be working but I don't have a device to test against
Known Issues:
You tell me...
Download:
849.98 MB file on MEGA
mega.nz
Prerequisite:
Make sure you are running a current AOSP/MIUI ROM with the latest firmware flashed and TWRP Installed
Install:
From TWRP:
1) Wipe Date (standard wipe)
2) Format Date ---> 'yes'
3) push ROM zip to /sdcard/
4) Flash ROM zip
4b) - OPTIONAL - Flash Magisk Zip for Root
5) Reboot to system
If you want to to install MicroG, just follow the steps outlined here in the "Install" section to get F-Droid installed, add the MicroG Repo, and install the handful of apps needed. No need for any of the patching steps.
DRG-Developer's device trees were last updated on 2020-10-18 so expect this build to reflect that. So far everything seems to function very well.
Does it support GApps too or it's only for MicroG?
Edit:
I test it and It's working well with GApps
Thanks for your build.

Thanks for testing! If you find any bugs, please post them here. I may not be able to troubleshoot everything but at least other users will be aware.
What changes between your older release of LineageOS 17.1? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ineageos-17-1-clean-stock-2020-07-10.4041523/

Later/updated device trees and built-in Signature Spoofing that you don't get with stock Lineage.

Sure,
I'm using this ROM for daily use since yesterday and seems like very stable since now and battery life is good.
I missed `Internet Band-with Speed indicator` and `three finger swipe screen shot gesture` that I think these features are not available in LineageOS.

I didn't find any issue that relate to ROM, it's quite stable
I just have a issue on ANXCamera self camera that force close the ANXCamera that I think is not related to ROM

This morning I checked NFC by sending a picture from my MI 9 to my wife's Mi 9T (also equipped with LOS). The transfer was successfull!
Thank you very much for providing this clean (stock) ROM!
Hi,
I've just unlocked my device and flashed Mauronofrio's TWRP afer that, i've installed this rom. And everytime it seems to be bootlooping. Showing the MI logo and after that it turns off and goes back to the Mi logo again. I've tried flashing it a few times, wiping data / system ETC. At the moment I'm restoring it with flashtool to get it back working. But am I doing something wrong?

Did you wipe data AND "Format" Data? When you Format data is asks you to confirm by typing "yes" in the TWRP Recovery. Try Wiping and Formatting data, then push the ROM to the phone and Flash.
Ah that was probably it. ADB Sideload wasn't co-operating so i've flashed the rom first and after that wiped + formatted the data. Thanks! I've just restored the phone but will try this later again.

Also, be sure you are coming from an updated ROM running current firmware.

Hi, does screen off fod work?
Your rom is really simple stock rom, but there is something that I can't make it work. Waze has been my pain, the map dont load and I cant make it run. Anyway you did a good job. You discovered how can we put updates in the rom?

No, you have to double-tap to wake or hit the power button to wake the screen before you can use the fingerprint scanner.

After installing, did you Install F-Droid and enable the Magisk repositories to install the necessary Magisk Modules and Location Backends? Then in the MicroG settings ensure all the checkboxes are checked?
Thanks for making this ROM. Really appreciate it.
The only small issue I am noticing is that my finance apps (example: banking apps, stock trading apps) popup an alert saying that my device is rooted (even though it is not) and this could be a security risk. The apps do still function but its a bit annoying to see this alert every time I launch the app.
Is this because the ROM has been signed with public keys? This alert does not appear when I used the iode OS ROM for Mi 9 or when I use the official Lineage OS for MicroG ROM on my Mi 8.

I'm not sure. It could be the Signature Spoofing aspect. I don't think iode has that and I know stock LIneage does not.
Do you have Magisk installed?
I want to try out some GSIs with face unlock (havoc, pixel experience plus) but I don't know if it can be done. Last I installed GSIs you had to use Android 10 as a base. I'm not sure how to downgrade Pixel 5 since the earliest factory image is Android 11. Does anyone know if there is any working method to get GSIs working?
I've tried a few via fastboot flash system but I get:
invalid sparse file format at header magic
I've tried flashing the GSI images in the latest test3 TWRP and still no results. just reboots and goes to fastboot.
If GSIs are not possible on Pixel 5 atm, is there any ROM in development that I should look out for face unlock in future, as none seem to have it atm. I might stick with Lineage until then.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks for this, good to know there's a rom for stable gsi install. Still can't seem to get this running, I followed the procedure on gsis and also just tried to flash system_b and set the active to b. it was successful but still boot looped back to bootloader. You are more knowledgeable than I am, would you give it a go and report back?
