[Q] About Defy+ & CM11

I've been using Quarx's CyanogenMod 11.0 (KitKat 4.4.2) since its January 20 release. However, my phone starting to become slow with the time (nothing related to the build but the extensive device use & data exchanging). Today i decided to upgrade to most recent build (NIGHTLY 23/03). Of course i wiped everything before. I installed the build directly from TWRP with no big problems, however, i disliked this "new"? recovery interface (this one that shows two options (RECOVERY) and (ANDROID) and this "Press search to load the system" thing. I Would like to disable it and return to the old M logo, where i had the blue led to warn me about the recovery thing. Is this possible? I mean, take this thing out?
Now the most important. As i said, i've been on the development thread since the beginning, but i didn't found any working answer to my situation. After trying both GAPPS 4.4.2, i see a black screen on first boot with the Standard GAPPS and only a "Choose your laguage" with Minimal, after chosen i get a "Launcher stopped working".I cant add the google account without the GAPPS, as some peoples suggested to another on that topic. I remember that i read something related to install the previous working build (20/01) and then upgrade to the newer, after setting the account on the older build. But theres no january 20 on quarxs ftp, what now? HELP PLS

System + data + cache wipe, use core gapps 2-26. If you encounter issues, then again install rom after full wipe, but don't install gapps immediately. Reboot, and delete unwanted system apps to free up space, and then flash gapps and wipe cache
No easy way to backport safestrap (replacement for boot menu)

do not use standard gapps..system partition not big enough to store standard gapps..install core gapps

New User - CyanogenMod Questions

Hello,
I received my Nexus 6P yesterday and got my SIM card activated without any issues at Verizon. I immediately took it home, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and then flashed CyanogenMod's latest nightly. After booting in, wireless networks weren't detected, and I only had 3G (no 4G LTE as I should). I restored my backup of the stock ROM that I made in TWRP and it hung at the Google logo. I'm not sure why. I then flashed all the latest factory restore images (MTC19X) to get it working again and determined that the issues I had in CyanogenMod might have happened due to the vendor.img I had on my phone at the time not being compatible with that build of CM13.
My questions are:
1) What are the known issues that would likely occur due to vendor.img being a different version than what CM13 was based on? The concept of vendor.img is new to me. I haven't had this, as far as I know, on any of my other phones (granted I'm coming from a locked Samsung Galaxy S5 that I've had for almost 2 years)
2) How can you easily tell which vendor.img CM was based on so you know which one to flash?
3) Is there anything else I should be made aware of before attempting to flash CM13 again?
4) While using CM13, do most people recommend a custom kernel? If so, which one and how stable is it? What are the benefits of switching from the stock kernel, and how simple is it to go back if there's a problem?
Thanks!!

dude...I just got the N6P and ran CM13 within hours. This is what I did...
unlocked the bootloader
downloaded the lastest (MTC19X) image off of https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and unpacked it into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder
ran the flash-all.bat
fastbooted TWRP
installed CM13. (didn't wipe internal storage)
installed arm64 open Gapps pico
BAM!!!
right now running stock kernel. it's cool. I'm PrivacyGuard-ing the hell out of all my apps (turned off START AT BOOT and KEEP AWAKE for almost every downloaded app), though, so battery is OK
also using Kernel Adiutor but underclocking values for the CPUs doesn't seem to stick

So it likely worked for you since you had flashed the newest vendor.img first. Apparently there are compatibility issues with certain features that cause them not to work (such as WiFi) if you're using an older one.

1) Depends on ROM /VENDOR, sometimes nothings happens then an error message, sometimes things doesnt work
2) Just download fresh the latest snapshot, release or nightly (they are much more stable then for a few years!) and vendor image (use these ones which are recommended!)
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_angler (there is a link for the vendor)
3) If you stay close on the tutorials, i dont know what should happen (flashing a rom is normally not critical, installing a recovery can be!)
4) Custom kernels can be great, but its not a must-have. Which kernel you should use depends on your wishes: better battery, more power etc.
Hope i could have help you a little bit!

Very much so. I appreciate it!

Has anyone encountered the constant popup of the Select Sim Card message? I'm using project fi and I am still unable to find a solution to this issue.

Need help getting LineageOS to be stable (15.1 UNOFFICIAL, hltevzw, TWRP 3.3.0)

I have an SM-N900V (Note 3, Verizon variant, hltevzw).
Detailed timeline:
- I flashed it back to firmware OB6 using Odin 3.09.
- I rooted it using ArabicToolApp.
- I used this tool to unlock the bootloader
- I installed a build of LineageOS 14.1 for hlte
- It didn't recognize the SIM so I did a dirty flash of this build of LineageOS 15.1 for hltetmo on top (hltetmo actually has different hardware than hlte, and the correct one for SM-N900V)
- Messed around with the APNs until it recognized and connected to Verizon's network. I DO have functioning SMS and LTE data, but I have not tested phone calls yet
- Messed around some with SuperSU in system- and systemless-mode. Bricked my device more times than I could count, then unbricked over and over using SuperSU's impeccable installer. Messed around with this quite a bit
- Also messed around with Xposed some. The OS is too unstable to run Xposed Installer correctly, so I uninstalled it
- Removed SuperSU, installed Magisk. Phone now passes SafetyNet
So, my phone now runs 8.1 and a Lineage build from 9 days ago. Cool. But, if I was satisfied I wouldn't be making this post. There are multiple instances of the same kind of "app freeze" - App screen freezes, sometimes it'll go completely black. Interactivity doesn't work, obviously, the app is completely frozen. Hold Back to kill doesn't work (Application Killed toast shows, but nothing happens). ANR (when it comes up) Close doesn't work. Home button works and brings me away from the app, but it's still there. Swipe away in Overview doesn't actually kill the app. Even in App Info, Force Stop doesn't work. The app is forever frozen. Tapping the icon from the launcher no longer does anything, it doesn't even bring up the app. The app is permanently crashed and inaccessible until a reboot.
Issues:
- Sometimes when booting the phone will not recognize the SIM until a reboot. As in, "No SIM" message and everything
- Sometimes it will get stuck at boot, I have foxy-boot installed, so I can see the logs. I don't remember what it was all about, if it comes up again I'll update the post
- Google Chrome sometimes crashes when trying to download a file. I've gotten my phone to self-host before, but this issue always seems to come back, and when it does Google Chrome ALWAYS crashes when trying to download a file. App Freeze
- Netflix installs and logs in but freezes at the "can't connect to service (-9)" message. App Freeze
- Certain apps like NativeScript Playground get stuck at the splash screen. App Freeze
- Xposed Installer did this when opening the Settings, whether Xposed was installed or not. App Freeze
- F-Droid also sometimes crashes, although it's somewhat arbitrary, I can't reproduce it reliably. App Freeze
I have tried reflashing the ROM, flashing Xposed uninstaller, reinstalling Magisk, none of it seems to work. I have TWRP 3.3.0 so I can do pretty much anything that doesn't involve the SD card (the SD card is probably broken in hardware, it's so read-only that Android and TWRP both can't write to it at all, but they can both read the same half-broken filesystem).
I fear that this OS is just too unstable for the phone and there's nothing I can do. I sincerely hope this is not the case.

Try other ROMs or perform a clean installation.
Make sure you are on PL1 bootloader/modem.
Currently using Resurrection Remix v5.8.5 Nougat because it was the last Android version for this device with working Bluetooth calls but if you don't use that feature you could use their Pie version as well.
RR ROMs are solid and work extremely well.
Do a clean installation via TWRP if you go this route.

I did a clean installation of RR 6.0.0 (Android 8.1) and it works a lot better than LineageOS did, with even more configuration options. I really really hate Pie and its gesture-based gimmicks (Screw you Google for copying more of Apple's bad design decisions), so I assumed Oreo would be more stable, but the ROM I installed still has crashing apps. Google Chrome still won't download most things (I've gotten it to download before), trying to change the accent color crashes the 'LineageOS Settings' app, and F-Droid is seriously messed up, but most other things are stable, including the Verizon network which required no pesky APN setup.
I'm on the OB6 bootloader/modem, is that a problem? I doubt that would be an issue, but I can always back up and reflash via Odin. The cool thing is that I installed a patch to TWRP which backs up /data/media along with everything else, after installing the custom ROM. So, really, I can do anything and be perfectly fine. There's, AFAIK, no way to ruin the phone unless something exploits the eMMC brick bug.
If there's another ROM you'd recommend me install, I'd be happy to try it out. I would really like to have a stable OS on here, where Chrome will work and download files. I'd also love Camera2 API since the phone has the chip for it (Snapdragon 800), but none of the ROMs I have support it and there's been no discussion online other than some years-old threads with no answers. I know there have been some articles online listing Note 3 as a phone that'd support Camera2 API with a software update. Would updating the bootloader/modem do anything on that front?

I would upgrade to PL1 bootloader/modem for your device. This is what I have and have had 0 issues. I'd recommend you trying the Samsung Internet browser over Google Chrome; it's much better in my opinion.
You can find the modem here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=160694
As far as ROMs are concerned you can either try the Nougat version of RR which is what I am currently using as my daily driver with no issues at all including Bluetooth calls:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-resurrection-remix-n-v5-8-3-vanilla-t3615227
See here to check whether or not your phone has the Camera2 API capabilities; if not use OpenCamera.

Excuse me but custom ROMs don't have "the Samsung Internet browser". Additionally the modem shouldn't cause app crashes (if it does, correct me please).
I might try the Nougat ROM. Bluetooth calls don't matter to me, but stability does. I just kinda really like Oreo and all its customization options but it may be too new for this old phone from 2013. It still works as a phone though, Messages and phone calls work fine, so I may just deal with it.
I use Open Camera, and I've tried multiple Camera2 API enablers. The phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 and the necessary links (in hardware, between the camera/other things) to support Camera2, but nobody seems to have tried it. Probably because the Verizon Note 3 is really locked down, and can only be rooted on a special version of the samsung ROM, and can only be bootloader-unlocked via the eMMC brick bug... There are Magisk modules for Camera2 on Exynos-based devices, but none for the Verizon Note 3 AFAIK.

I just found out that RR 7 officially supports `hltetmo`, but RR 6 doesn't. That's kinda sad, I hate Pie, but I might try it...

I've had the SEPL stuff before, that's the one that can't be rooted. I suppose I didn't consider upgrading again after I unlocked my bootloader. I'll try SEPL1 firmware again, but with a custom ROM...

You can install the Samsung browser from the Play Store. Again, highly recommended.
As far as SEPL1 just update the modem to it; that shouldn't cause any issues but it will ensure your SIM is recognized and data works with the latest ROMs. That is one requirement you will see listed on all of these ROMs.
Not sure which one you are trying to install but here are all the Resurrection Remix versions:
Nougat:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-resurrection-remix-n-v5-8-3-vanilla-t3615227
Oreo:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-6-0-0-t3748689
Pie:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v7-0-0-t3894244
If you don't care about Bluetooth audio during calls then you can safely use Oreo and Pie options.

Yeah but, data and calling worked fine on the LineageOS and RR roms, so there's no reason to update the modem.
Besides, I flashed SEPL1 6 times using Odin (multiple times by flashing, rebooting directly into download mode and flashing it once more) and it doesn't want to update. Still on OB6. On the latest (official Pie) RR rom, data worked on first boot but doesn't work anymore (I'm going to mess around with the data settings until it works), but I have no reason to believe that my phone needs a modem update to function.
I did, many times, make calls to various phone numbers and they all worked flawlessly. SEPL1 is therefore not needed if that's all it does.
And I do know about all the Resurrection Remix versions: One is Nougat from their archive, one is the Oreo version I had installed just yesterday before flashing Pie, and the other one is Pie which is now officially supported.
I am currently working on getting RR7 to work, it's only crashed a few times, and I don't even remember what those times were (I think it was using the Back button in Overview/Recents at the same time as the Overview button?)

When updating modem via Odin you have to pull the battery and don't let it reboot the phone for it to stick (disable that option in Odin) and flash it again and then reboot. If you look at the ROM threads for anything newer than Android v5 they all recommend updating to the latest bootloader & modem for your device which in this case is PL1. This can be to prevent crashes/no signal /no SIM, etc...
Are you dirty flashing these ROMs? I have never experienced any crashes with any of the RRs on my phone but I always do a clean install and make sure to also delete the "Android" folder on my SD Card via TWRP after doing the "Advanced" wipe and deleting everything listed there except for the External SD Card.

"pull the battery and don't let it reboot the phone for it to stick (disable that option in Odin) and flash it again and then reboot"
So...
- Reboot phone into Download mode
- Pull battery while in Download mode
- Flash thingy
- Reboot back into Download mode
- Flash thingy again
? That will be very difficult to do with my dodgy charging cable that doesn't like being repositioned...
I do that without pulling the battery, but I could try it with.
I'm downloading the full SEPL stock image to flash. Once that's done, I'll flash it, reflash TWRP, restore my backup, and see if the baseband has updated.
And no, never dirty flashed the ROM. Always completely wiped data, system, cache and everything. I always backup first. I currently have 3 backups: Lineage OS (before installing RR), RR6 (Oreo), and RR7 (right now before that stock image I'm going to flash).
My external SD card is nonfunctional and read-only with some trash files from the previous phone.

I flashed the stock SEPL ROM. Baseband still didn't change. Restored from backup, SIM now works. Network is detected, SMS and data both work reliably on all reboots.
I will mention that I did brick my phone by using Odin to erase the eMMC, but I fixed that from TWRP, and now everything works flawlessly. There are still some app crashes, but most things are very stable. Camera2 API still nonexistent, which is sad because I got used to it on my old phone, but I shouldn't hope for it.

Because i'm new , i can't create link

Hi gapps included in ur ROM?
And can I install other boot.img files? I have tried that.
I know it won't work but a question..
Still will download and test..
---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 AM ----------
Almost everything works except Volume control while calling the same problem on 17.1 ROMs but everything else works fine I can just adjust volume from my file I'll just patch it with profile text lol thanks.. Very nice work ??????☎?

Yup this is my other account here.
and only on my laptop..
But i managed to get my favourite Kernel to be installed thanks to this beautiful work and kernel i installed is enforced and my ( favourite Kernel )
is pemissive so it depends on kernel and i don`t give a f... nice work man.. Thanks..
I can`t say thank you enough because i have tried other roms to get my thing install`d lol THANK YOU..

Are there any issues with audio on incoming or outgoing calls? Did you manage to get both the front and back cameras working? Most other custom roms have a combination of issues there.
EDIT: I just noticed Johannes did mention a call volume issue

add support 925f zeltexx pls

It has that same sound software problem.
But I think everything else is working. I try to restore boot from my previous backup it works but (sim not showing).
I try to restore other backup stuff but, of course did not working.
But it amazing i can use other kernel just by restoring from backup
They might be better ways to use other Rom's kernel.
I will use it like that soon without any possibility to have Sim card
I like my kernel lol..
This phone ( I ) use is near death so let end it Battery life with that Kernel I use... Lol
I'll test permissive only file download soon and try to restore boot from backup. And see
Or I should try to install Boot.img from the zip
Edit: It didn't work but first with enforcing SE always boot up no matter what i restore from my backup boot/cache/data/efs. I didn't test other rom enough yet.
And I will test more soon for fun..
Btw.. I got 3 mods installed on my backup so I'm gonna have to test new install's from all rom's and re-test from all over.. Or from start lol..
I want to know you guy's have any mods to make system faster or battery-friendly mods
I have added some text to build.prop and installed 3 mods I think. Maybe not all installs patches:
First for Fullscreen Gesture (Q) from Magisk modules.
Because my ROM is old and I removed some system apps.
And then I install kernel mod from this site. Lol (kTweak) it can be seen from Magisk
And 1 patch from here XDA post few days ago
And my build.prop tweak it looks funny:
ro.min_pointer_dur=0
ro.max_pointer_dur=40
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=9000000000
windowsmgr.min_events_per_sec=0
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
logcat.live=disable
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
profiler.force_disable_err_rpt=1
profiler.force_disable_ulog=1
ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay.delay=1000000000
ro.kernel.checkjni=0
ro.kernel.android.checkjni=0
persist.android.strictmode=0
ro.config.nocheckin=1
That it if I didn't forget something
And make Settings less cpu hog or how to say make it CPU friendly lol .
1 more thing I have edited Sound mixer from System files
You can search it on my comments on my other account Johannes Davidsen
On Enezusun's 17.1 Lineage Os Multitarget rom
I couldn't post attachment's so I have to copied text
That all.
Here, there are 3 sections i think : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83187603&postcount=310

This ROM has still the sound volume issues, but camera is working here, right?
This one https://github.com/enesuzun2002/lineageos-ota/releases (28. Feb build) has working call volume and also working cameras, right?
The 13. April build of it has sound issues again and fast battery drain?
It's hard to keep track of what's working in each ROM build and what's not.

For me all of them have working camera and all of them have, calling sound software problem that i just fix by editing sound file..
Have a nice day..
And yes cam is working on this new august build,
same on sound problem too

Are there any issues with audio on incoming or outgoing calls? Did you manage to get both the front and back cameras working? Most other custom roms have a combination of issues there.
EDIT: I just noticed Johannes did mention a call volume issue

good

Nice work. Thanks for that selinux enforcing rom. Unfortuately I cannot enable encryption. After set in security settings the boot in a bootloop.

I have exactly the same problem. And are there any other things to do to make the device even more secure? Some Modules ?

My dirty trick to enable encryption was, I installed e rom for the device. Enabled encryption without a pin direct after the installation.
Than I installed the 17.1rom without format data. Only wipe system, data and the caches. The rom boot up allready encrypted.
I only set a pin and thats it.

hello or a little problem with the download link, just don't have the link, can you try s create a link on mega or google drive ???
to another thing i wanted to say, i am surprised that you are creating a rom for android 10 with the SElinux Enforcing, i wanted it a lot to increase the security, but the problem of this that lead to lose some battery, however i am interested to try this rom on my samsung galaxy s6 SM-920F i just have to understand where the link lol.
in my opinion, however, thanks to the rom with the SElinux Enforcing maybe this rom could become official if you want, and put on the lineage os website, but honestly I don't know how it works, this is just my opinion
I wanted to say another thing, that second it was better to do lineage os 16.1 because it is much more stable for this device, in fact existing official resurrection remix with android 9 that I use that not a bug, or tried official evolution x with android 10 but the problem of the wi fi that turns off and that you can disable it on the lock screen, and this and these 2 are a big problem, and that problem also exists in the lineage os 17.1 of another creator, everything to see if in the future when there will be lineage os 18.1 for this device with android 11 maybe the wi fi and lock screen security will work prevent you from turning off the wi fi from the lock screen
i am using google translator, hope the translation is right

A wipe basically formats a partition, so what exactly do you mean, that you wiped the encryption too?
I'm sure this ROM doesn't support whatever encryption /e/ may support that you're suggesting.
But maybe I've got this all wrong

Thanks. It works for me.
I have one problem with this rom. Bluetooth headphones don't work. I can connect to the phone but the conection is unstable and stop working. it something like: connected, not connected , connected, not connected each 10 seconds or so.
Sorry for my English thanks a lot for your attention.

Someone please can explain to me step by step how do this trick for enable encryption ?
I've tried 6 times and nothing works maybe I'm misleading something.

Hi, i just wanted to ask how you compiled lineageos for the s6. I tried to compile los 17.1 with the files provided by enesuzun and have massive problems with lunch detecting the files. Many are missing and even if i collect all it just acts weird. Since enes provided many working images these file should work to compile, don't they? Do you know any good tutorial? Most of them are only either for official builds or completely new unsupported devices.
Thank you in advance.

What gapps? opengapps is provided for 10.0 only...
I have LOS 16.0 from enes but wanted to give it a try.
After wiping (system, cache, data) and installing this rom with opengapps 10.0 and magisk zips,
the reboot stucked in boot loop.

For LOS 16, which is Android 9, you have to use the OpenGApps for Version 9. You can download them at the OpenGApps Project Homepage.
Try one step at a time when flashing or try the newest version from enes.

Oh, I mean: what gapps does this ROM (17.1) need? (with opengapps 10.0 I got into bootloop)

LineageOS is a free, community-built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11 (R) 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. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS still includes various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS GitHub repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a complete list of changes & features.
Recommended firmware
V12.0.3.0.QDTMIXM
Note: This ROM uses FBE encryption, any current existing recovery won't be able to decrypt data!

Glad to welcome you devs

Hey @SebaUbuntu,
First of all, thank you for your efforts
I've a few things I'm stuck at, you or someone else hopefully can help me with.
I flashed it with a data partition, encrypted from Android 9. As expected, it refused to boot and going back to the recovery my data partition was garbled.
Formatting it let me boot fine. I then was surprised, to see the storage as encrypted again in settings.
Trying a reboot to recovery I can't manage to get in. All Recoveries I tried, are stuck on the splash screen.
I tried the Pitchblack, OrangeFox, TWRP and SkyHawk recoveries, but it's the same with all of them.
Is there a working recovery that is able to decrypt the data?
Additionally, I setup a lockscreen Pin, but never got asked if I wanted a secure boot. So I'm unable to use a custom pin for the encryption key, which makes it somehow pointless to encrypt in the first place.
How can I solve that?
I want to use the phone without GApps. Instead I plan on using MicroG, which needs signature spoofing.
My old way using Riru Core, Riru EdXposed and the XposedModule FakeGapps to enable signature spoofing doesn't work anymore sadly.
Would it be possible to add a signature spoofing patch to your builds?
TL;DR:
- Is there a Recovery, able to decrypt the data partition encrypted from your rom?
- I can't set my lockscreen pin for a 'secure start', is that a bug or desired behaviour? (And if so, why? )
- Could you enable signature spoofing in your builds please?
Regards,
L

@9Lukas5 Have you tried https://files.sebaubuntu.me/Recovery/LineageOS-Recovery/platina/ ?
I had similar issue with my Mi8 dipper when I upgraded from official Lineage 16 to 17. Twrp wouldn't decript, it turned out the /data mounting dev path was different and twrp couldn't find it. I lived with it for a while until twrp got an update. During that time, I had to use sideload to update Lineage OS.

@haoquan thanks for this tip, I'll save this definitely for the next attempt
I've restore my LOS16 setup for now to have a working phone, as my Setup relies on working Signature Spoofing + MicroG^^.
If someone knows a solution for the Signature Spoofing and custom encryption pin, I'd be pleased to try another upgrade.
In the mean time I'll try to compile an updated LOS16 build using the device parts of this rom (hopefully this will work, otherwise I'll have to find Pie compatible device parts first )

Thx sir, for u working.

- This ROM uses FBE, Secure Boot is a FDE thing, the ROM will now "encrypts" always
- See 1
- No, I want to be compliant with LineageOS, I won't add anything additional to what it provides

Ok, so if I get this right, this is no bug that Android doesn't offer me a secure start anymore setting a lockscreen pin?
Maybe a bit offtopic, but if the storage can be decrypted by a default password that's not changeable, how is the data security provided?
Edit: Google FBE <-> FDE quickly.
So this means, a "secure start" is always provided automatically, if I set some sort of lockscreen security and the personal files will be accessible only after first unlock after a reboot?
Can you confirm if the recovery from your domain @haoquan linked above will work with the LOS18.1 encrypted data?

L

fyi, LineageOS Recovery doesn't support data decryption

Yeah discovered this by now^^
That means there's no way of making a nandroid backup before altering around with updates, etc right now :/
But huge thanks for bringing up this rom. Thanks to your work and fully linking the device repo's, I were able to make a private build including the MicroG patch which is mandatory for me. So I finally switched from Pie, which was a rather old build by now.
What I found/would give as feedback so far:
- Video recording doesn't work (gives a green imaged video).
Tried with the built in camera and OpenCamera, both are the same.
L

I have stuck to Havoc 3.9 for past few months. Tried the latest Colt OS but on my Mi 8 lite at least it led to very erratic responses on fingerprint sensor, so I switched back to Havoc. Anyone actually used Lineage 18.1 on theirs and offer any feedback please?
Pros/cons vs Havoc pls

Thanks for this room, I see that the effort has been very gratifying.
I have a problem in the use of the camera, it does not allow recording the images
or videos to the internal or external memory, thanks if you can verify and correct this big problem I would be very grateful.

I'm using it since ~a week. It's fully stable for me so far
Basically everything except video recording works for me.
Android 10 roms had all the same bug blocking me from switching, that I couldn't playback my music sadly (aac, mpeg4-audio container), that's working fine here.
So I can't give you much of a comparison review, other than that

What camera do you use? I'm using OpenCamera, set to use Camera2API and take pictures. Just video recording takes a green image all the way through

Good afternoon, flash the rom I use the camera that comes with the same rom and install several additional ones and there is no way I can save the photos and videos that I make with this or another camera. I like the rom, but if I can't use the camera, I fail

I used this rom and it seems better than the original rom, it is quite stable, but for me it is essential to use the camera for both photos and videos and voice recording

@lewismsc Do you know which firmware you're on?
I'm using the V10.3.2.0.PDTMIXM right now.
@SebaUbuntu could a too old / too new firmware cause these different experiences and is there a recommend firmware version for your rom?

Hi all, thanks for all the advice on what is still a very good phone. I have managed to change the firmware to V12.0.3.0.QDTMIXM MIUI via Mi Flash tool, but when I try to send TWRP recovery (tried several) in fastboot, it says its sent the recovery, but there is no root and fastboot does not go back into main TWRP screen. Never had an issue using firmware 10..3.2. I was using Havoc 3.9 custom rom for a good few months. Also tried Orange Fox & PitchBlack with same result.
Keen to try this lineage 18.1 rom, but I'm stuck.
Grateful for any advice please, as MIUI 12 has its limitations. Can't even get Whatsapp notifications at top of screen!
Thanks

After a good few hours over past few days of frustration, I realised I simply need to press Volume Up on phone when entering fastboot reboot command after successfully flashing TWRP recovery (3.3.1 I tried) ...at long last I can restore my backup from 14 Jan of Havoc 3.12 rom !
