Question about Testing vs Nightly - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi, i've got a question here. Im currently own the xiaomi mi 5 while my friend owns the Mi 5s. That friend of mine wants to get his device flashed to Lineage OS 14.1. But when i go to there, i saw the status of the ROM marked as "testing". While mi 5 lineage os 14.1 marked as "nightly".
What's the difference between these two? I know the difference between Alpha, Beta, Nightly, and Release Candidate, but i never heard of "Testing".

Without source code, it's difficult, sometimes impossible to make any kind of stable custom ROM. The source code was released just a little while ago and the development went up a little bit. Nobody can tell you will be there or not a stable RR or LOS.
Wrong area

its funny how people dont seem to be able to keep track of time
mi max 2 was released in june/july last year, so its been out for 8-9 months now. so still several months to go until a full year...
the new LOS 14.1 version is already very close to bugfree, only LED blinking and SELinux state are missing.
Also, XenonHD dev said he will publish a new build very soon, with working FPS and most current bugs fixed.
So these two roms are already VERY close to official

Official RR in the pipe line

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 ?

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!
laviniu_c said:
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.

Custom ROM recommendations

Hi all,
My Note 9 warranty ran out the other day, so I flashed lineage on it. Unfortunately Android Auto doesn't seem to work and push notifications (e.g. Signal, Gmail) don't work.
Lineage for the Note 9 is nightly only, so it's no surprise there are issues, but this is my daily driver and need a stable ROM.
Would be grateful if anyone can recommend one or two ROMs that are stable enough that I won't have these issues.
Thinking crdroid or Havoc?
I don't need that much customisation option, just something that's stable and isn't Samsungs crap fest.
@DevBeard
Apparently official LineageOS support for Note 9 has gone bye bye anyway...
Now I'm stuck with the same question.
@TomDex I've just flashed crDroid (Android 11) and so far so good
i'm thinking of trying [ROM][N9][UNOFFICIAL][LineageOS 18.1][31-01-2021] ...
I'd be interested to know your thoughts if you do. The one thing I'm missing, with crDroid 7, is GCam at the moment

Question Can I install a custom ROM for the Mi 10 on the Mi 11?

I have a Mi 11 and I want to replace MIUI 12 with something else because it performs really bad on rhythm games like BangDream and Project Sekai (lag, stutter, FPS drop).
I'm interested in the LineageOS PixelExperience ROMs. However, they only have released ROMs for the Mi 8 and Mi 10 but not Mi 11.
Once I have TWRP on my Mi 11, can I install one of the ROMs that was made for the Mi 8 or Mi 10?
If I can, will there be any issues?
Are you serious?

Yes, I'm really tired of MIUI lag and stutter on rhythm games. I've put up with it on Redmi Note 3 and on the Mi 8 for years. I finally upgraded to Mi 11 thinking that even with MIUI's bad performance on rhythm games, the Snapdragon 888 would be enough to run the games without FPS drop and stutter but that wasn't the case.
So yeah, at this point I'm willing to try anything if it means I can use something that is not MIUI.
I dont know if phones are like PCs. I've installed Linux, Windows, and even MacOS on the same PC I built with custom hardware so I dont yet know of a reason why this wouldn't work with phones.
Do you have a reason to believe it won't work? What's so unique about a Mi 8 ROM compared to a Mi 11 ROM?

A ROM is not changing your shoes man... Before asking your question, you already know the answer... NO
Install a custom ROM like Lineage & PixelExperience or waiting MIUI 13.... YES
But actually there no custom roms AOSP available and MIUI 13 is scheduled for october.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know MIUI 13 was coming so soon. When MIUI 13 is released, will there be custom ROMs available for the Mi 11?
or why did you say to wait until MIUI 13 is released?

MIUI 13 deserve to waiting because he will based on Android 12. And for custom roms, just wait, device is not old and less expensive... so maybe some builder/modder will working on. LineageOS is bootable from few days, so if an AOSP base is available, with TWRP recovery in addition, a lot of ROMS should be available in the next months

I see, it's good to know there will likely be ROMS available soon
What did you mean by "LineageOS is bootable from few days" ?

It's only a GSI (Generic System Image) of Pixel Experience. Really it's full of bugs for the moment xD
