[C103] ROM/KERNEL/MODULE/MOD Discussion Thread - Coolpad Cool1 Guides, News, & Discussion

C103 Easy All in One Discussion Thread
Hi everyone, I'm using Coolpad Cool 1 C103 and through fire and hell in the early days, managed to get my device bricked, IMEI lost and then thrown into the dustbin just 3 days after buying it.
After a week of meditation, I decided to try to revive it and managed to get TWRP installed and the rest is history. So, in order to help the newcomer, I've decided to create a thread to help with the device. My device is C103, so my reviews and guides here are compilation of what I've done. Other member with different experience and method can feel free to share it.
Custom ROM Bugs :
Android 8.xx
LOS 15.1 by @SimbyOS
- everything works except that it's hard to lock into 3G signal. I can't get H+ signal.
- i can't switch between Wifi and Wifi Hotspot tethering without rebooting.
- no stock JUI camera, so Monochrome lens is unusable.
JUI 8.0 by @SimbyOS
- no Monochrome lens in stock camera
- wifi hotspot tethering doesn't work
- video recording works
- Magisk root and modules working well
Android 7.xx
JUI by @Cuoco92
- unable to record video and voice record
- ROM is rooted with Magisk but most modules don't work such as Youtube Vanced and Viper4FX
- device sometimes freeze and goes into non-stop vibrate.
- need daily reboot for ROM to be running smoothly.
- mic doesn't work in calls
JUI Cool Play 6 by @Machomotofan
- wifi doesn't work on my C103 but you can flash wifi driver.
- stock camera all working well including video record but no Monochrome lens option
- Bootanimation is in Russian
JUI Cool Play 6 by siv_88
- most stable JUI 7.xx for C103 for me
- prerooted with Superuser so you need to flash stock JUI boot.img and then root again with Magisk
- need to flash remove encryption after Magisk root .
- Magisk is stuck on Core Only mode so modules doesn't work.
- no sound and mic when calling. Fix in buildprop fixed it for me.
- stock camera doesn't work with gallery but i fixed it by flashing another JUI stock camera

Reserved #2

Reserved #3

I think JUI Cool Play 6 by @Machomotofan is really good the wifi worked at least for me...but IR blaster does not work in any of the JUI 7.0...And no monochrome lens...so had to revert to eui 18s

Help Please.How do i unlock bootloader?fastboot won't work ...remote failed error

I cannot build any roms because of device tree bugs. there is a bug when merging kernel or vendor source.

you need to install all the corrent drivers. this device need a lot of digging and i've forgot most of the stuff and deleted the downloads since i've set my work station with all necessary esentials. but i remembered finding most of them in 4pda. you have to install coolpad download manager first to get the fastboot driver. and it's a pain in the ass when you're using win10. also you need to set you driver signature verification off and put your windows in test mode. yes, it's a hassle. go down this path if you're willing to tolerate and finding ways to repeteadly bricking and unbricking your phone. lol. and 1 more thing, update your phone to official JUI 1st and install Cuoco JUI to get the device ready with easy setup. Cuoco JUI comes with preloaded TWRP and Magisk.

maybe the source code has been offline. it used to get taken down before and then online again. maybe it's been taken down, AGAIN.

thanks bro

thanks to Droid Insight, I succeeded in building Superior OS for Cool1.
but I have not flash TWRP because of unknown error with QFIL.
so I didn't test this ROM and feel free to try this but all features are not checked.
It seems that there are same bugs with

Depzai,
Please be more specific, type out entire or post photo of TWRP log people can see the error in full and help you the best we can.
For the time being try this. Do an ext4 format in TWRP, then wipe /data /internal storage /dalvikART /cache - be sure you do this or else you will not be able to boot due to Samsung's encryption. Flash rooted rom provided by Travis via TWRP. After flashing rooted rom, do not reboot, proceed to flash HKernel provided by Travis. Wipe /dalvik and reboot. It will take a couple of minutes for the whole thing to reboot - let your phone sit and do its thing. Check your kernel and build# under settings and post back with results.
I know for a fact what Travis provided works, since hes fixed TWRP and the HKernel for the SCV33 variant recently.

Try and do as Travis has stated, if no luck.
Redo your install. Not sure how you got these errors. My front cam works as it should, and all calls out of JPN and in JPN work with country codes.

I'll get twrp updated for the other 2 variants this weekend also.
First I installed TWRP via ODIN
Then I installed the SU from the memory card
I rebooted the phone, no internet and no cellular network
I read somewhere that needed another kernel I installed what is in the link of this post
In log appeared error messages: could not mount ... (I forgot the characters here sorry ) but in the end appeared sucess
I just installed and restarted, message on display: KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
WARRANTY BIT: KERNEL
Stopped in the galaxy logo
I read more posts that I needed to do wipe
Dalvik / ART Cashe and Cache
But messaging appeared: Failed (same as above process)
So I decided to use the FORMAT DAT option
The phone started again and all functions ok.
Now comes the bad part
Wanted to see what the error that appeared in the log
But this time there is no error
But in rebbot the message appears: NO OS INSTALLED
And now how do I solve this? please :crying:
Sorry bad english
twrp via odin, boot twrp and format data, install kernel, done

Performed but does not start
Always returns to TWRP
what about previous kernel? Odd some are saying no problem, some are saying errors, how do I know what is what when I do not have the device in my physical possession?
If you all seriously want support like on SM-G9350 I really do need the device to run debugs and get kernel logs so I can do fast builds to troubleshoot. It's very difficult building blindly ya know? So as of now I will not update the Doco variants any longer until I am able to have a hands on experience with it. Sorry about that but I think its best for now.

Dear @travis82 can you port your room SM-G9350 for S7 edge Japan?Or can you upload only system.zip of you i will try update my phone.Thanks so much.
no more docomo updates until I get a docomo somehow someway, its too difficult to know rom error or user error since i do not have the device.
I think I deleted the OS somehow
So I installed the rooted room and the kernel beta 2
Everything works but with a lot of lag
Should I Try Another Version Of The Kernel?
Please do not abandon this version
Only you are giving support
Updating
After installation of Rooted Rom the device was showing a lot of lag
I uninstalled the apps that did not interest me and I rebooted the device by entering TWRP
I reinstalled Kernel Beta 2, after the installation I clicked the option WIPE CACHE / DALVIK, after complete reboot
On restart it appeared the message ANDROID IS OPTIMIZING APPS
After this the system became perfect without lag
Everything running internet, cel calls ... and root
its great , I am very happy

[Guide] [Mate 10 Pro] Treble-Compatible ROM installation and Compatibility list

Introduction
This is aimed to be a complete but simple guide for users which want to know what works in the Treble-World on the Mate 10 Pro and 'how to get there', based on other guides and my own findings
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for what you do with your device, you are free, probably old enough to know what you are doing and intelligent enough to read this through.
For the moment I will only speak about my own tests on a BLA L29 as I don't have the possibility to test everything.
Feel free to share your own discoveries via PM (just reuse the same formatting to make things easy)
Requirement
1. PC/Laptop running Windows 10 with adb and fastboot drivers installed
2. Original Huawei USB Type-C Cable
3. Being able to read and use search when a question arises
Summary
0. General Information
I. Unlock the Bootloader
II. Choose your ROM (a.k.a "What works on what")
III. Install your ROM
IV. Miscellaneous / Secondary stuff
V. Bonus : What to do if I am stuck / Bootlooping
0. General Information
To make things easier for everybody, here are some basic informations about your device and some common knowledge :
How do I get in Download / Bootloader / Fastboot Mode ?
Shut down your device, insert your USB cable. Keep the Volume DOWN button pressed and press the Power button, wait.
PRO TIPP : You may also get there from within android, first enable ADB debugging in developer options, then, on your PC open a command prompt and type "adb reboot-bootloader"
How do I get in Recovery Mode ?
While in Download / Bootloader / Fastboot Mode, take the USB cable out, keep the Volume UP button pressed and press the Power button until the phone reboots.
I. Unlock the Bootloader
We allready have a thread by @otonieru perfectly discussing this point, don't forget the Windows 10 fix :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/how-to-huawei-mate-10-pro-standard-t3709535
II. Choose your ROM (a.k.a "What works on what")
This section isn't complete and should be detailed with time. None of these ROMs is specific for the Mate 10 Pro, but thanks to Treble, most images will work. Device-specific modifications are still needed in future, ask your local dev
1. Generic AOSP (Android 8.0 and 8.1) by Phhusson
Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659
Description : Really basic ROM (basically pure AOSP) which serves as a basis for most of the other ROMs.
What's working : Everything basic
What's not working : VoLTE, SuperSU and Magisk, Signal strength is reported incorrectly, error message at each start, Play Store tends to hang (solution : wipe the Play Store from recents or force close it)
Actual status : Barebones, can be customized in some ways with overlays.
2. LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1) by LuK1337
Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3753000
Description : If you don't know LineageOS, you should have heard about CyanogenMod (CM). This is a super clean, customizable version of Android, based on AOSP
What's working : Everything basic
What's not working : VoLTE, SuperSU and Magisk (system crashes), Signal strength is reported incorrectly,
root works thanks to addon-su (see Miscellaneous)
Actual status : Working as a daily driver (at least in my case) if you can live with some very small drawbacks.
III. Install your ROM
Once you have unlocked your Bootloader and chosen the ROM your heart desires follow these steps :
1. BACK UP YOUR DATA ! -> You will certainly have to do a factory reset and backing up data should be something natural when flashing something on your phone, even before updates.
2. Download the ROM (latest is probably best, but it's best to read what is said in the respective threads before jumping in the hole.
3. Reboot to the Download / Bootloader / Fastboot Mode (see above)
4. Flash the ROM by opening a command prompt and typing :
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
where "system.img" is the filename of the ROM you downloaded
5. Reboot the phone by typing :
Code:
fastboot reboot
6. The phone will probably get in a bootloop. Don't panic. This should be normal.
After 4-5 reboot the phone will go in Recovery mode. Make a Factory Reset
7. Reboot
8. Profit
IV. Miscellaneous / Device-Specific stuff
This is probably the more interesting part as it is quite hard to find the correct information for our device concerning these points.
Root
ROMs as Lineage don't come prerooted. To root your phone the only viable solution seems to be addon-su for the moment.
To install you will need to install TWRP (follow the instructions in this link by @Dees_Troy : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-touch-recovery-t3752399 ), boot to TWRP (same as booting to Recovery, as TWRP is the new Recovery). go to advanced -> adb sideload. Connect your phone to your PC and flash the file using
Code:
adb sideload addonsu-15.1-arm64.zip
finally reboot, go to 'developer options' and chose the desired option under 'root options'. Done.
Camera
When flashing a ROM it will probably come with the stock AOSP or Lineage camera which, just say it, sucks on our device form a quality point of view. Here are the answers found to this problem for the moment. Sadly, there isn't one solution which works for everything and everyone.
Google Camera - GCam
Photos work - Gallery works - Videos don't work
Right now his is probably the best compromise if you want something that works, easy to install, while not wanting every little gimmick (in that case you should probably stay on EMUI - The definition of gimmick). Simply install the apk.
Note : there are probably other versions of GCam that work or will work in future, feel free to inform me / us about better working versions.

More information / discussion :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/gcam-mod-mate-10-t3729078
Camera Port from the Mate 9 - needs root
Photos work - Videos don't work - Gallery doesn't work - Most filters and gimmicks work
A bit more complicated to install. The easiest way found for now is to root first using addon-su and then copy the system folder inside this zip into the respective folders using a root enables explorer like solid explorer

More information / discussion : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...huawei-stock-camera-app-treble-roms-t3735169/
V. Bonus : What to do if I am stuck / Bootlooping
Remember when I said to back up ? Well I hope you did, because if you are really bootlooped and a reflash of the system image hasn't helped. you will have to reflash the whole device, which isn't quick.
Gladly @mankindtv has got you covered with his great guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814
I hope I could help a bit. Feel free to add your own findings, simply PM me.

@phhusson for his many efforts to make Treble awesome
@LuK1337 for his many efforts to get things working on the Lineage side as well as for addon-su

You can also root Lineageos with magisk. I did it and it works.

good job on this one OP btw, video on mate 9 camera port is only broken on 8.1, on 8.0 all camera features work fine except opening of the picture from the camera app itself
Good job man!

It crashed everything on my 8.1 build (and the developer himself recommended me addon-su) maybe a tad harder to use, but at least you learn something at the same time

"Stereo"... When coming from a Nexus 6P this Sally doesn't sound stereo at all... But you're right !
Android Auto doesn't work also on these ROMs. Phone says its incompatible because of some OMX codec issues

That's too bad, android auto uses h264 streaming codec I think. I think this issue will have something to do with hardware acceleration. Have you tried messing around with the acceleration option found in the developer options to see if it might work?
Nice guide! Thank you @ChriKn!
Can you add to the "Generic AOSP (Android 8.0 and 8.1) by Phhusson"'s part that we need to use A-ONLY version of this rom?
I will try as soon as I have my PC.
Sad news, I got a good opportunity on a Pixel 2 XL and sold my Mate 10 Pro (I need my Pure Android AND Quality Camera)
Does someone want to take the thread over ?

Hi there. I have the UK varient which is not the same as the us version. I'm looking for info regarding root and custom roms. All info I can find points toward the us (James) varient.
Any info or links greatly appreciated
ok so update, found this thread but not sure if the information is correct, thoughts or experiences please

That's my thread and yes the information is correct.
If you are not sure yourself that the information I have posted is correct, then I suggest you stop thinking about rooting your E5 or flashing custom ROMs.
You have to remember no one has tested the rooting/flashing procedures on PETTYL.
Everything that's listed here on XDA is designed for James/Nora/Hanna devices so no one has tested anything on our devices as it's newer and not many have it.
All the GSIs (custom ROMs) are only listed as working on the James/Nora/Hanna devices, there is currently no support offered for PETTYL, although technically they should work.
The devs of those other devices and the resources for them claim everything should work on our E5 as its treble compatible, but unfortunately that's not quite correct.
If you are really not sure about anything, or don't know if information is correct, you will have problems.
Im not being mean.....I really don't want anyone else to have the problems I have had and really wouldn't advise anyone to go through the process as it's fraught with issues, bad explanations and lacking important information.
Some files are incorrect for our device and some listed procedures for the other devices do not work on our E5.
BTW-my device is an E5 play XT1920-15 PETTYL SIM unlocked purchased from Argos.
Here's a list of the issue I found, it might be different for someone else as two people are saying they successfully rooted their PETTYL, and I couldn't.......
1. I had no issues unlocking the bootloader.
2. There are two versions of TWRP posted on XDA for PETTYL, but neither worked for me.
I used the James version.
3. I could not root my device.
Magisk installed but I could not get v17.3 or v17.2 to flash.
V17.1 did flash but magisk manager showed device not rooted and magisk not installed.
4. Flashing any GSI (Oreo or Pie) causes problems to the system sounds, ringtones, notification tones and music which is totally distorted and very poor quality.
The camera has very poor quality as well.
5. Lineage OS 15.1 is the GO version, you also should flash lineage before flashing other GSIs as you can't flash most GSis over stock.
6. You can use the full Google apps on a couple of android 9 gsis which makes your device a normal android, not an android Go device, but I would recommend not to bother with Android 9.0 GSis for this device as they are very buggy and very slow, and they use three times more battery than android 8.1 Go.
Also, live wallpaper and notification access still don't work on android 9.
Just remember as well the US E5 is much more powerful than our E5, and I assume thats why android 9 runs so crap on our E5.
7. You have a very complicated process to get your Google account working on any GSI, if you do it wrong, you will not be able to use your Google account at all and will get spammed with never ending notification from Google of using an "uncertified device"
8. If you run into problems and decided to return to stock, you cannot download the "retail_GB" stock firmware (SIM unlocked) for PETTYL unless you pay for it....the EE and Tesco SIM locked firmware is free to download, but neither work on the SIM unlocked version if you use non EE or non Tesco SIM cards.
9. Someone has posted a twrp back up of rooted stick for PETTYL.
It did not boot on my device and just kept boot looping.
That could have been a twrp issue and nothing to do with the shared back up - I couldn't get back into a gsi or stock to test it.
My post is warning to other PETTYL users- with my own experience.
What you choose to do is up to you but I really would not bother tampering with it, leave it be.
Stock android Go 8.1 is way better than anything else that's currently available for PETTYL right now, every gsi I tried had an issue of some description that affected performance so badly they were practically unusable.
Even though I'm back on stock now I still have sound issues, and many graphic glitches that makes my screen flash and glitch out randomly.
I'm sorry it's such a long reply, I wanted to give you as much information as possible so you have some idea of what's involved for our device., And let's just hope the situation for our device will get better soon.
Thanks for your detailed reply, I only asked if this was correct as I was aware of the differences between models etc.
I wouldnt say im new to rooting cfw etc, I have been flashing phones since 2002 lol.
But I dont want to brick this device as its currently my only phone, so I will wait and see if the situation improves in the future.
Its not a bad phone as it is you get quite a lot of phone for £65 nowadays.
Oh and im using simlocked tesco model so free to download, I find it stupid that you have to pay for stock firmware its beyond belief

Just like you, I've been rooting and flashing phones since like forever, and this device is the first I've ever had issues with.
It's entirety possible that as I'm a "noob" to flashing system images and fastboot flashing as apposed to flashing "ROMs" I may have messed up the procedures or made mistakes.
But not to be outdone, I have just before typing this reply tried again to root my E5 and flash a GSI, and again the process failed for me.
I could not boot into lineage OS 15.1 due to a "decryption error" and also couldn't get twrp to flash anything.
I've read now my issues are down to the DM Verity kernel which seems to be causing a lot of confusion amongst users and It now seems the process to remove forced encryption is what's causing all my issues.
I don't understand the process if I'm honest (it's an age thing lol) and worse, there is a lot of conflicting information, as a few people are saying the DM Verity process isn't necessary!!!
So unfortunately I've given up completely for now and stand by my original advice.
It's best to leave this particular device well alone until we have a proper procedure and tutorial in place for our own devices rather than trying to follow procedures for the US version.
I'm jealous though you only paid £65, as I paid £79.99, but I still think this Moto E is better than the Nokia 3 it replaced.
If any one can send me any issues they have with pettyl xt1920-15 rooting/twrp/etc I will try to test everything I can and see what works don't expect anything till January cause got college till the 23 and no time now

That's very generous of you.
Like you, I don't get much time (due to work) but I have two weeks off from 21/12 and can supply as much information as you want.
I would like root if it's possible.
If some can check this twrp in fast boot by booting it and tell me dose it work on thier phone i be thankfull https://github.com/TwrpBuilderTests...s/tag/TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-2018-10-28_04-33

I have a "working" 3.2.3 version for PETTYL but I'm not sure it's the version you linked
The one I have "works" in that it boots to TWRP fine from fastboot but obviously it doesn't flash.
I can't flash GSIs through that version, where they do flash no problems through fastboot......
Finally, I can flash magisk through that as even though magisk flashes successfully, magisk manager shows magisk is not installed and asks to flash it again.
@plscotland
TWRP - won't flash to recovery partition.
Cannot mount vendor to flash Fstab
Magisk flashes but magisk manager shows not installed.
I tried the twrp I sent you and the James version.
Lineage - I can successfully flash and boot lineage over stock (Phhusson version) but I have issues with "device not certified by Google" and get spammed by constant notification from Google
Cannot use for daily driver due to no nav bar orfind any settings to enable nav bar.
Descendants 1.0.5 - I have successfully flashed and booted this "rom" and used it but the sound from system ringtones and notification tones is awful and distorted
Lots of graphical glitches and system UI has stopped errors
Pixel experience - cannot flash - error whilst flashing that system IMG is bigger than target.
If I wipe data, it just bootloops and won't go past splash screen.
Resurrection remix - cannot boot
Bootleggers 3.0 - cannot boot
Hope some of this information helps you.

Great, thanks
Qestion do u just want working magisek root on pettyl ?
There 2 ways
One download magisek manager
Get a twrp buckup of your boot image
Go to magisek manager choose patch boot image and choose your twrp buckup boot image (turn off compression of buckup when taking it ) after it finishes go find the patched boot image it should be in downloads or magisek folder can't remember then go to twrp and flash the patched boot image
/
Second way is to add the fstab or whater its called skip the adb mount part and only do the adb push part (look in tread for exact) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/development/recovery-twrp-moto-e-5-play-james-t3796323 then flash the magisek 18.0 tell me did it work after. here the twrp that should work for every ones pettyl [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VsZRGkBujHay02a1M14eJM87H_RHFE9J/view?usp=drivesdk ] !Im not responsible if u brick your phone
!!try to boot twrp before u flash do fastboot boot (twrp image just drag the file to cmd to avoid path erors )

Yeah, Ive been skipping the mount vendor and pushing Fstab via ADB whilst in twrp.
I'll give this twrp a whirl later this evening when my kids laptop is available
I've bricked my E5 and cannot get past "decryption unsuccessful."
Stock/los15/any other gsi I tried.
Reflashed stick but getting errors flashing gpt.partition.
Everything else then shows errors after each command.
Twrp- i followed your 1st step with a magisk altered boot image.
Tried second step and that failed.
I had to combine both steps into one and twrp then booted and flashed successfully to the recovery partition.
Adb pushed fstab before flashing twrp to recovery but once rebooted to stock I got "decryption unsuccessful" error and got into a bootloop.
Reflashed stock then los15.1 but same again.
Reflashed stock but gpt partition and system sparsechunk.2, 3 and 4 give errors.
Cannot flash stock or gsi currently or reboot to recovery, just keeps going back to fastboot.

Unfortunately you can't downgrade android versions to 6 or 7, there's no system image / ROM on a lower android version for that device - but what you can do it's flash another GSi (ROM) to give you some usage back.
I also had the the XT1920 pettyl and android go is just awful, so I flashed several different roms to try.
The ones I got to work are
PHHussons lineage 15 (android Oreo)
ASOP 9 (android pie)
Pixel experience (pie)
Out of those lineage was the most stable.
You must remember pettyl only has 1gb ram, and does struggle with android 9 pie - but it does work without too many issues.
You got to learn a whole new process of unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom recovery, disabling forced encryption and flashing a new ROM.
There are plenty of posts about roms for the E5 play in the threads here, I suggest you take a long read and don't try anything until you feel confident enough to begin because the process to flash roms on pettyl isn't very easy and is quite complex and complicated for a new inexperienced user.
It's quite easy to try that and completely mess up your device so it's unusable.
So, you MUST proceed with extreme caution, don't rush into anything without reading everything ten times, having a coffee and then reading it again another ten times.
Many users have tried to rush this process and then come here crying their phones don't work anymore - this happens because they've tried to rush the process, missed out steps and not read instructions properly........
Not being mean, but it happens all the time.
Edit
If you don't feel confident enough to flash a ROM (and no one will blame you if you don't) unfortunately all you can do is change the way you use your device.
I never noticed any music or you tube video freezing on my pettyl but how I used my device and how you use yours are probably very different.
You can't put lots of apps on android go devices, it doesn't like lots of apps.
You can disable most of the system / Google apps like playstore, Google play music and YouTube and install open source alternatives.
(For instance one plus music, you tube vanced and aurora store to name just three - just Google "disable system apps" or "replace Google apps")
I also tried a couple of launchers, and Librechair go edition or the android Go customised pixel launcher does make quite a significant difference to performance, depending on how much system stuff you disable and how many replacement apps you install.
Edit
I don't have my pettyl any longer so unfortunately that's the only help and advice I can offer you at this time.
Sorry.

Thank you for the separate this from the other pie roms.
I will flash it after I arrive home.
Thank you all for the hard work!
Sent from my kagura using XDA Labs
I'm loving the fact Omnipie is official. I will be flashing this right now. Thank you so much.
Finally flashed! been using it for less than an hour, i can say that its definitely good for daily use. Camera seems better and hasnt crashed yet (like it use to), mic actually picks up audio properly, brightness slider is finally proportional to the brightness level, and its pie
however, the stereo speaker seems to muffle at high volumes (especially with the ringtones and less with youtube, but still a little prevelent), app opening times seem a little longer than 8.1, and 120HZ still doesnt work
im also curious why the linked odm isnt the latest one (im pretty sure the latest is 1st march not feb)
anyways, thanks dev! (may be editing this thread after more use for battery etc)

The March 1 release says "Android 8.1", the linked one looks like the latest for Pie.

Ah, your correct it does say 8.1 my bad
opps
I saw this version from delta updater (using 8.1 omni) and immediately downloaded flashed oem for pie and downloaded omni 9 but it stucked new omni animated logo. Waited like 10 minutes but nothing happened then rebooted phone but same thing happened. Should i wait more or something went wrong?
Im here with OmniROM freshly flashed trough Open Delta.
I have some problems. First boot never ends, BUT restart worked for me but I have another problem.
Now I need 10 min to unlock the phone when Im lucky.
I unlock with the code and then its instantly relock and it say I cant use fingerprint for first unlock, so I use code again and not work again and still can't use fingerprint.
I do this A LOT OF TIME before I can use my phone. Sometimes it helps sometimes not if I not unlock my phone but use corner dial icon first and then if its ask for code i use it and then I got SystemUI crash error again and again and again.
As I said I try to repeat this methods for like 10 min after every restart. I tried to delete some maybe not compatible apps with this new update but still nothing. Now I will remove some Magisk modules. I will write again.

you need to do a full wipe before upgrading to p
Just as @oshmoun said; before flashing new ROMs, it's imperative to do full wipe (if you don't want to lose all your data, then do a full backup in TWRP), as flashing without full wiping can cause TONS of problems. Don't be lazy and follow the instructions properly.

I used the same rom before but the last update. I updated through OpenDelta.
Hello !
It's cool to see our XZ is alive !
I have some problems with this rom after a full wipe and update to oem V6 :
- no sounds during calls, no mic, no earphone, no sounds on speaker
- Magisk 18.1 not working
- With official camera app, while using the flash, only the autofocus led is lit, the second and much powerful led is never triggered resulting on dark shots
For now that's all
Thx
Performance is somewhat distressed and the camera does not work for the sound is not working after restarting the device is improving

you cant do that. its pretty misleading having it available on that opendelta ota thingy. you have to follow the instructions in this thread
Flashed data, cache and dalvik, factory reset. And installed latest nightly with gapps and magisk 18.1.
Only reason I did it this way is because I was on a unofficial build on Omni. Everything is working as it should. Very snappy and no lag. Still have to see how the ROM handles after it's settled for a couple day, but right off the bat it's amazing. Thank you very much Dev, and happy to see you back on XDA.

Why this ROM showed up as an update then?
I just don't understand it.
Nevermind this is my main and only phone and I work 4 days straight before I can use my PC so I need to use this ROM buggy for me. :/

You need a PC to flash this. Follow all steps in order and it'll work. Always remember, unless you have a messaging app that backups texts, you will lose them flashing a cfw. Always always backup anything you don't want to lose.

I've had a reoccurring issue on the unofficial and official builds so far. I do not have the option to use my phone when calling unless speaker phone or a Bluetooth headset. I cannot put the phone to my head and use normally. Is there any kind of option to fix this nuisance. Any feedback is truly appreciated
Every 9.0 ROM I ever flash, I always seem to have the same problem. Whether its dirty flashing, or starting with flashtool, to CMD, and then to TWRP, the same problem seems to happen. After the ROM has settled, audio quality through calls becomes a huge problem. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but it has been a persistent bug, next chance I get for the next nightly ill send a logcat, kinda cant not since back on stock. I need good call quality for work lol. Either way, thank you for bringing OMNI to 9.0 official
anyone having problems with video playback? videos dont play on instagram, youtube or snapchat. using magisk 18.1 and latest omni 9 rom
edit: nvm, found out that the Google camera fix module for magisk was the problem

[ROM][10.0][Xiaomi Mi 9][UNOFFICIAL]LineageOS 17.1 CLEAN, STOCK + Signature Spoofing [2021-01-21]

** Standard Disclaimer: Unlocking your Bootloader will Void your Warranty. I take no responsibility for this or for any bricked devices. These thing should go without saying at this point, but there they are. If you are here, I assume you are familiar with LineageOS, TWRP, and moving from MIUI to AOSP-based ROMs**
I've built a clean version of LineageOS 17.1 for Mi 9 that includes Signature Spoofing, but no other modifications.
This will allow those who are interested to get full MicroG support without the need of using any sort of Patcher or Magisk/XPosed Module. YOu all may have used my previous LineageOS Clean,Stock ROM and this is just an updated build of that ROM + Signature Spoofing to make life easier for those who want MicroG.
I flashed this and followed the simple steps of installing F-Droid, adding the MicroG Repo, and Installing the necessary packages via F-Droid and confirmed MicroG Self-check passes all the tests (once you finish granting the necessary permissions for each).
I prefer this over the NanoDroid or other patching methods as a much cleaner way to use MicroG with LineageOS.
Proprietary Blobs/Device Tree are DRG-Developer's as referenced in their post: here
Kernel source is by DRG-Developer: here
Xiaomi Hardware package used is the primary LineageOS from their github here
My reason for this is that there does not seem to be an officially-supported build for our device on the LineageOS for MicroG project or a recent, unofficial build.
What Works:
Pretty much everything from what I can tell
Fingerprint Sensor it working like a champ so far.
DT2W/DT2S
NFC Seems to be working but I don't have a device to test against
Known Issues:
You tell me...
Download:
849.98 MB file on MEGA
mega.nz
Prerequisite:
Make sure you are running a current AOSP/MIUI ROM with the latest firmware flashed and TWRP Installed
Install:
From TWRP:
1) Wipe Date (standard wipe)
2) Format Date ---> 'yes'
3) push ROM zip to /sdcard/
4) Flash ROM zip
4b) - OPTIONAL - Flash Magisk Zip for Root
5) Reboot to system
If you want to to install MicroG, just follow the steps outlined here in the "Install" section to get F-Droid installed, add the MicroG Repo, and install the handful of apps needed. No need for any of the patching steps.
DRG-Developer's device trees were last updated on 2020-10-18 so expect this build to reflect that. So far everything seems to function very well.
Does it support GApps too or it's only for MicroG?
Edit:
I test it and It's working well with GApps
Thanks for your build.

Thanks for testing! If you find any bugs, please post them here. I may not be able to troubleshoot everything but at least other users will be aware.
What changes between your older release of LineageOS 17.1? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ineageos-17-1-clean-stock-2020-07-10.4041523/

Later/updated device trees and built-in Signature Spoofing that you don't get with stock Lineage.

Sure,
I'm using this ROM for daily use since yesterday and seems like very stable since now and battery life is good.
I missed `Internet Band-with Speed indicator` and `three finger swipe screen shot gesture` that I think these features are not available in LineageOS.

I didn't find any issue that relate to ROM, it's quite stable

This morning I checked NFC by sending a picture from my MI 9 to my wife's Mi 9T (also equipped with LOS). The transfer was successfull!
Thank you very much for providing this clean (stock) ROM!
Hi,
I've just unlocked my device and flashed Mauronofrio's TWRP afer that, i've installed this rom. And everytime it seems to be bootlooping. Showing the MI logo and after that it turns off and goes back to the Mi logo again. I've tried flashing it a few times, wiping data / system ETC. At the moment I'm restoring it with flashtool to get it back working. But am I doing something wrong?

Did you wipe data AND "Format" Data? When you Format data is asks you to confirm by typing "yes" in the TWRP Recovery. Try Wiping and Formatting data, then push the ROM to the phone and Flash.
Ah that was probably it. ADB Sideload wasn't co-operating so i've flashed the rom first and after that wiped + formatted the data. Thanks! I've just restored the phone but will try this later again.

Also, be sure you are coming from an updated ROM running current firmware.
Thank for your build ;-)
Are NFC Payements working on it?

I have not tested payments. Another user confirmed that file transfer via NFC works. I do not use NFC for payments so cannot test.
Hi, does screen off fod work?
Your rom is really simple stock rom, but there is something that I can't make it work. Waze has been my pain, the map dont load and I cant make it run. Anyway you did a good job. You discovered how can we put updates in the rom?

No, you have to double-tap to wake or hit the power button to wake the screen before you can use the fingerprint scanner.

After installing, did you Install F-Droid and enable the Magisk repositories to install the necessary Magisk Modules and Location Backends? Then in the MicroG settings ensure all the checkboxes are checked?
Thanks for making this ROM. Really appreciate it.
The only small issue I am noticing is that my finance apps (example: banking apps, stock trading apps) popup an alert saying that my device is rooted (even though it is not) and this could be a security risk. The apps do still function but its a bit annoying to see this alert every time I launch the app.
Is this because the ROM has been signed with public keys? This alert does not appear when I used the iode OS ROM for Mi 9 or when I use the official Lineage OS for MicroG ROM on my Mi 8.

I'm not sure. It could be the Signature Spoofing aspect. I don't think iode has that and I know stock LIneage does not.
Do you have Magisk installed?
