LineageOS for microG (14.1) for Xiaomi Mi 5s (capricorn)
aka LineageOS bundled with microG
Official ROM built by LineageOS for microG team (Simon94). Updates multiple times a week.
Simon94 said:
Android experience relies heavily on Google's Play Services. The microG project creates an alternative to installing Gapps, which install and execute closed-source blobs on our phones. MicroG however requires a patch called "signature spoofing", which allows microG's apps to spoof themselves as Google Apps. LineageOS currently does not include the patch due to different opinions among the developers. (further information can be found here)
This makes microG installation difficult on LineageOS and other ROMs. Our ROM is a fork of LineageOS with just the necessary changes to have microG built-in. We ship daily builds for 46 devices and we can add more as needed.
You can find us on https://lineage.microg.org

Great to see this with LOS.
I have been trying out MicroG on a few SIGPOOF compatible ROMs.
My only problem was when I tried microG that BKK Futar didn't worked with it, but otherwise it's great.

For me, in this ROM the BKK futár is working great. I used it for ~5 minute, it crashed once, but I think it's usable.
(Downloaded the latest apk with Yalpstore).

No. So it isnt working too great. xd I think it's an issue in the Maps API.
will there be a LOS15 version in the foreseeable future?

I got this from LineageOSMicroG Official Thread...
"All the requested devices will be built from tomorrow on. Furthermore this thread is obsolete, since we migrated to a new project.
--> https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/lineageos-microg-t3700997"
Will you still continue to build after official support?

Well, maybe later. I dont think microG currently supports Oreo.

Oh, it was fast.
If they'll build for capricorn too, I'll stop building this rom. It is unnecessary to have two identical roms to the device.

No problem, it's a great project.
Just confirmed by Simon94, we're getting official build tomorrow. :good:
The first official build just landed on https://download.lineage.microg.org/capricorn/. I updated the OP, from now this is just a discussion thread for our device.
what's the difference between from official los +gapps

Bunch of alternative open source libraries to replace proprietary Google ones so apps that require them work, without the need to install Gapps.
At this point, several popular open-source applications already require some of Google’s proprietary libraries to be installed. Increasing demand in the free software community in addition to severe problems in Google’s proprietary software discovered by the Android modding community, have led to the development of a free software clone of Google’s proprietary core libraries and applications - the microG Project was born.

Restart-Loop with WiFi connected
Hi, my MI5S keeps restarting, as soon as it get's connected to WiFi. First I thought it was a problem of your build, as I just bought the phone and my first custom rom was lineageos for microG But it turned out, also the pure lineageOS builds have this problem, and also other users reported it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74413252&postcount=2367
I successfully was able to flash an older version, which is working perfectly: lineage-14.1-20171023-nightly-capricorn-signed.zip
Sadly, lineage os for microG doesn't is old enough to have this version.
Is there any chance you could build this older version and publish it? I can't wait, till this issue is fixed, and would love to go with the microG version instead the classic one...

My build? I dont built this ROM since 11-05, you should try the latest official build. (Currently the 11-16) Maybe that fixed your issue.
I only built 1 unofficial build, the builds on the lineage.microg.org are official builds, built by the LOS4mG build bot

Well, no. I don't know how to revert all of the repos to an older state by date.
Btw, if you dont have the latest firmware you should try to install it, and try again, maybe it'll fix your issue, but idk.
And you should report the issue (again) in the xda thread and/or the LOS JIRA.
questions
Hi, I'm waiting for my 72 hours unlock hold for Mi 5s.
My last phone was LG G3 w\ LOS for microG, why the release for d855 is about 300mb and capriconr is about 500mb?
Is there an official LineageOS 18.1 build for Redfin? On the wiki device info page they mention 18.1 is supported, but the only ROM links are either 19.1 or 20.
All I've been able to find is an unofficial build from 2021.
I'm asking because if there is an official build that is still getting updates (security only would be fine by me), I'd switch to it in a second.
Or is my only option to build the ROM myself?

LineageOS 18.1 seems outdated, do upgrade to 19.1 or later.
I simply hate the look and function of Android 12 (I've tried mods - no joy). 11 does everything I need (which isn't much beyond basic functions, TBH) perfectly fine. Hell, I'd rather use Oreo if that was an option
Hi everyone!
Does anyone have the the latest official LineageOS19.1 ROM for Redfin that I could download? It seems like the last version is 20221228, but if you have anything close to that, it'll be better than nothing.
The LineageOS website points to this broken link:
https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/redfin/20221228/lineage-19.1-20221228-nightly-redfin-signed.zip
Thanks!

Thanks but the links go to the latest 20 builds. In the end I settled with the latest image of 18.1 that was posted online, Android 11 works better than 12 for my needs.

Huh, what do you mean ?
The link in the video description is https://download.lineageos.org/devices/redfin/builds
which takes you to the latest build, which is no longer 19.1 but 20.0.
Anyway, this is no longer an issue as I found a build of 18.1 that fits my needs better.
Thanks
