LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9.0(Pie), which is 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. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Sepolicy is still permissive
Nothing else
Working:
Camera (and flashlight)
WiFi
Bluetooth
Telephony (Calls and Data)
Audio (Record and Playback)
Video Playback
Sensors
GPS
VoLTE
Compatibility:
Compatible with all Xiaomi Redmi 4A and Redmi 5A variants (16GB / 32GB), other Redmi devices are not supported.
Builds are based off the Xiaomi's Android 7.1 firmware with proprietary blobs from MIUI 8.3.29 dev package.

Good but
Apps force close and force crash every time
If you flash gapps you can't even enter the phone
Because the pixel setup crashes

Is it Gapps related bugs or rom related? In several unofficial Lineage 16 for other Redmi devices, most of the bugs are solved after the latest unofficial open gapps is released. 20th Aug build I believe.
Update: here it is https://builds.nezorfla.me/?dir=opengapps/pie/arm64/20180820

I tried flashing with old gapps 20180811 version
When I tried booting into the phone pixel setup was not working and I could not enter in the phone
When I tried with out flashing gapps at first boot
The phone started and was good but all apps crash or force close
So practically if you want to know how android p will be u can use that for just seeing it
But currently you cant use it as daily driver

Nice port bro, good job <3

Please stop doing such misleading threads.
This is just a backup of an installation with treble + gsi, you didnt do anything here.
You didnt even edit the install instructions...

Can we disable the navbar?
Hi
Can we imagine some "P" custom roms we could flash directly, like other oreo/nougat roms ?
Flashing these system.img and other post gsi zips wont work on any other treble enabled rom ?

If im correct, it means our devs have just to work on /vendor so we can flash gsi of ROMs that aren't built specific for santoni. Also updating hardware related things are completely independent of Rom Updates.
I understand more now, how difficult it is for devs.
Thanks for explanations.
Hey all i was saying is that now i am using treble enabled lineage os 15.1
Can i flash the system.img and other post gsi-zips above my base of lineage os , or is it mandatory to flash RR luis rom ?

Yup stable enough, some small bugs are there like cannot turn Bluetooth and WiFi on at the same time and YouTube seems to stutter.
Other than that everything works fine. Does heat up a little bit though.
I'm just trying DP4 and flashed all 3 zips after the GSI but the device doesn't sleep. Anyone else?
BT and WiFi at the same time isn't.possible, it seems.

[discussion] reducing risks when trying treble

Hi,
It seems noone so far tryed to flash a treble GSI to the redmi 6. Im courious in doing this, but would like to discuss potential risks. What could go wrong?
After some reading i found the possibility that devices get problems running Google Apps, since they we're not certified.
To prevent this, you can register your Google Services ID in your Google Account.
1) Install the App "device ID" from Playstore, run it and copy the GSF.
2) Open this Page and paste your GSF. Click register, and your done.
Another thing is that there are two types of GSI Updates.
Type A/B and Type A. I ran the App "treble Check" from Playstore and it tells me that the redmi 6 ist treble supported and that I need the Type A GSI
Then it seems necessary to remove magisk/superSu/xposed to have a clean boot Image.
Loosing data is no problem for me.
Anyone any suggestions?
Tell us what works and what doesn't work.
---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------
You use the TWRP in test ?
..i will not flash until i'm pretty Sure, nothing will go wrong.
I would like to understand what ist technicaly done.
After what i've read, its a normal fastboot flash, of the system partition. So, am I still able to run TWRP If anything goes wrong?
I guess the way to go, is to do a clean Fastboot flash of the official MiUi10 in advance to make sure my boot/ramdisk is clean. Then I would reflash TWRP and last the GSI.
What do you think?
(beside from 'let others risk their phone')
use this link for reference:
https://youtu.be/YI2CtIIPVaI
please, which treble GSI AOSP rom (8.1 or 9.0) advised with the most things working (calls, camera, fingerprint, sound...)??
thanks
i think Android 8.1 gsi rom is more stable as of now.
if u want to flash gsi rom
1. unlock bootloader by official way
2. flash twrp
3. do a factory reset in twrp
4. flash rom.
that's all.
nobody has tested yet?
no feed back on what's working and what doesn't?
I think i am gonna test soon, just gotta get some info... i was flashing intesively lot of phones in past, but now i had pause few years... seems lot of things changed - treble?! whaat?!
I just got this redmi 6, although i wanted 5, and seems it was big mistake, but nonetheless im gonna try and see. I dont remember any phone with 0 info and 0 feedback few years back.

Hey there everyone!
Since there are no custom ROM's currently available for our Redmi 6, i decided to give GSI ROM's a try. I tried los 15.1, and it worked! Wifi, bt, and even camera work. The only problem: The radio's don't work, so you cant make calls / sms /data. Other then that, the ROM is super fast and speedy. Also, there are no GApps and its not certified, so we gotta certify it I've tried only Lineage, but you can also try RR, HavocOS etc.
BTW, the Redmi 6 is ARM and A only.
Feedback from GSI Lineage OS
Hey Everyone!
I recently tried Lineage OS 15.1 GSI, and I've made a thread with all you wanna know here:

You don't need to fastboot flash the img, you can use TWRP too. And yes, TWRP works if anything goes wrong and worst case use Mi flash and rescue your phone. I tried los 15.1, here are my thoughts: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-6/how-to/rom-gsi-lineage-os-redmi-6-t3915146

Pixel Experience is an AOSP based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies (launcher, wallpapers, icons, fonts, bootanimation)
Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential features for the proper functioning of the device
Based on Android 9.0

Semi-GSI? what's that?
a semi-gsi (at least by my own definition) is a gsi built from source, with heavy patches intended for a specific device that wouldn't make the gsi necessarily as universal as a gsi should be. so in terms: don't flash this on other devices.
How does this differ from any other gsis out there/what are the features?
Well this includes a number of fixes including:
Dual speakers are working.
Ui lag is no more (at least 99.99%).
Aod is working/enabled.
Auto brightness is kinda working.
MTP is working
Other performance fixes and improvments.
What's working/not working?
First up:
Obviously Samsung's own features such as Samsung Pay, KNOX, Theme Center, Game Launcher, etc. won't be ported to LineageOS Pixel Experience. We may have our own implementation to similar functions, though.
Iris sensor does not work because AOSP upstream does not support that yet.
IMS services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc). Samsung has their own proprietary implementation. It is not really possible to easily port that to LineageOS PixelExperience.

2ndly the semi-gsi has a few quirks of it's own. Nothing major or worth noting but you should check the "anything else i should know?" part in the FAQ. hence why HWC is broken
Instructions:
Make sure TWRP has been installed and functional.
Download the latest build image and kernel linked below
Reboot to recovery
Wipe system, data and cache from the wipe menu
Select flash image in twrp, lower right side on the install menu
Flash the rom image as system (and gapps). DONT flash gapps. they are already included in the rom.
Flash the kernel image corresponding to your model as boot
Reboot and enjoy :victory:

Troubleshooting/FAQ:
Q:Can i use any other kernels with this gsi?
A:Nah, not really. I built this kernel specifically to work with this gsi and it includes a few major fixes (for example mtp won't work,major ui lag, no dual speakers etc if you switch to another kernel. But again. If you want to use other kernels, they should* boot. Endurance kernel even has my dual speaker patch and i confirm as working. But again expect bugs.
Q: Is there anything else i should know?
A: Ehhhhhhh, not really. I mean there are some stuff i'm really not proud of,for example to "fix" the ui lag i had to set the minimum gpu frequency to 455; this shouldn't create any issues(perhaps some battery drainage when screen is on) but afaik it doesn't impact sleep or anything else.
Q: My mobile data (3G/4G) is not working
A: Go into network settings and select/create an apn
Q:Would this be preferred over a device specific rom?
A: Overall nah. The reason i didn't set on building device specific los16.....well actually i did and failed. But this is a pretty good placeholder until someone more skilled than me takes over and creates pie device trees.
Q: Safetynet doesn't pass?
A: Yeah, i guess that's a thing. Go into magisk and download some module called props hide or something. Don't forget to run it from terminal. It should work from there
Q: The rom isn't booting/camera doesn't work
A: Flash/make sure you have the BRI4 vendor, the linked kernel and try again.
Q: The rom is in a bootloop/google apps keep crashing
A: You did read the instructions and NOT flash any gapps riighhttt?? smh, wipe /system,/data and /cache and start over
Q: I have another bug; How can i tell it to you while slightly increasing my changes of it ever getting fixed.
A: You can tell me what's going on either here or on telegram WITH A LOGCAT attached(required);if rom isn't booting at all attach /proc/last_kmsg.
Q: I don't know what/how to logcat. Is it really necessary?
A: Logcat or gtfo
Q: How can i support you?
A: Awwww thanks; On most of my posts on the left side there's a "donate to me" paypal button; You can use that,donations are more than welcome, or if you don't have any $ to spare you can also post here about how awesome i am (this surprisingly helps very much)

Last vendor from Soldiers rom. I flashed your kernel for the S9 to my S9. I also made a test and flashed Magisk, no difference.

Which model nr are you?
The ideal way of doing it was to have the latest vendor installed (i have BRI4 rn) wipe /system, /cache and /data. Flash just the system img and the kernel img and it should boot just fine. Can you try this?
So far so good. Recording video on my s9+ screen flashes green, stereo speakers work on SoundCloud but not with play music, still testing. Thanks

System_Image for the rom and Boot for the kernel.
I installed the latest Benzorom 9 and this works!
Than again your rom without your kernel, it goes than further, the Google boot animation doesnt disapeared, but cant boot into system.
So something must be wrong in the kernel for the 960F version.

Hmmmm. I'm not gonna lie, i haven't actually tested the g960 variant since i have the plus model but ok.
Has anyone with a small s9 booted the rom using the kernel?
EDIT: ok apparently the small variant is bootlooping, will delete the link and get back later
@Oel can you try this for the small s9 pls?

Downloading the rom, I will try the kernel and get back to you.
Flashed successfully on Exynos S9+. I can make calls but cannot receive calls. Any idea why?
Hi, do we have an option to disable the fingerprint unlock vibration? If no, can we have it please? Also, Thanks for this wonderful work of yours

There's no vanadium browser. Isn't microg included in the ROM ? The trust app says it's build for older android version.
---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------
The 2 button navigation is clashing while opening app drawer .it opens recents instead.

Vanadium is not a browser, its a webview implementation.
microG uniNlp is included. (Check op before asking)
The 2 navigation problem exist in los (base rom) too.
A few questions regarding MicroG implementation on GlassRom, i'm about to flash it
How to update MicroG if needed? (Microg repo on F-Droid?)
does it includes fake playstore? (i don't see it on screenshots so i guess no)
Can we flash another MicroG version like Nanodroid? (to customise it like , force system, location providers, playstores, init scripts etc...)
Can we flash Magisk?
