Lineage OS - Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers

Will the redmi note 9 be officially be supported by lineage os?

Yes and no it's a gsi open source project.the good thing is we are testing and some people stepped in lately with the same chipset.So they made some mayor steps in other groups volte, audio jack support.brightness adjust is still isn't working.volte support is a must have in country like india.i think the Caos project is ahead with support for the note 9/mediatek chip atm

Is it based on a GSI? If so, We won't be able to root it and we will get a Mismatched Status bar

Currently, Devs are still trying to boot roms in merlin. After booting and fixing stuff, official LineageOS shouldn't be far

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.

After kernel sources are released by Xiaomi I guess.

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.

Kernel sources for Xiaomi Redmi 6A and Xiaomi Redmi 6 now is available

Can not post links. Just type in google: "Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource cactus-o-oss" and to to GitHub.
Source it`s here
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/cactus-o-oss
What does this mean, can developers now develop roms for 6a?

I think - Yes. Also maybe anyone can compile now x64 kernel for our x64 cpu device (at this moment we have only x32 kernel).
@Dreyk007
we still don't have a working vendor and tree. the only thing that matters for me right now is a working vendor considering from what i know it's the answer to getting voLTE to work on GSI rom's.

does this include the specific vendor? proprietary ones don't seem to be useful as far as i know. I plan to get on device development when my new PC is built (2 weeks-1 month) since i know the basics already.

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.

Ending my support

Guys i am officially ending support to the axon 10 pro, I have upgraded to a samsung s20fe 5g, i will no longer be maintaining any of my roms, it has been a blast, and i have learned a lot, it was a pleasure giving this community some awesome roms, the last few weeks i tried to build a a11 rom, a lot of the sources arnt able to compile, the one that would work in theory the best for us would be havoc OS since they still support los fod 1.0 , i wanted to go out with a bang but seems like that wont happen, i hope someone else pick ups where i left of, if there enough interest i can post a basic guide with the build bot script i use to build Sgsi, i wish you all the best of luck.
Stay awesome people

I'm no longer on 10 pro, but let me say one milion thanks for all you did for this device, you made this phone better.
Slán
Thank you for the hard work. I would like to take on the challenge but I am busy with university and have no experience in messing with roms. However, I do want to know if its possible to be able to update the security patch and if so, I would like to learn how. If that can be done, I wouldn't mind keeping up with the security patches.

Hi Rafyvitto,
Do you think there is a chance to get A11 working on the A10pro?
Would be great if any developer will work on the ZTE phone.
Or is it possible to flash any GSI out there which is available since the device supports treble?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply, to be honest im unsure that our old android 9 vendor(los16) can boot anything past android 10, i tried some android 11 gsi's way back when they started coming out none worked, our vendor probably would need to be messed with to boot android 11, im currently on a locked bootloader device so ive been out of the scene for a while, check phh telegram channels and see if people have booted a11 with android 9 vendor/kernels, sorry i cant help further than this.
Also: If they do manage to boot, fingerprint reader will be broken, among other things, like i said our vendor would need to be fix for a11.

I'm quite suprised ther isn't any for the S21. It's the first device I've had for many years that have not had a custom rom available.

To be precise, there is no need for custom ROMs because of GSIs and Treble-Support.
There is LineageOS, Pixel Experience and many others to choose from. I'm daily driving PE currently.

How? PE says not supported?

There is documentation on https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki. PE is not officially supported, but there are PE GSI Roms maintained by others and because these are GSIs, they basically don't really need official support.

Is fingerprint sensor working fine in PE GSI?
How about reverse wireless charging (wireless power share) function?

Fingerprint sensor worked fine, but I haven't used/tested reverse charging. I think reverse charging is dependant on the circuit and not software, but I'm not sure.
I'm currently on a Pixel 7, so I can't test it anymore.
