Proximity Sensor Uncalibrated

Hi everyone, in the last week i have decided to try miui, and i tryed, now i come back to Lineage OS and have a issue, the sensor is uncalibrated. I tryed so many things and anything could help me, my sensor just work when i come back to Miui and calibre the sensor in configs, only in Miui. I tryed so many firmwares, and roms, Lineage, Cosmic, Omni.. Any solution for this problem?
Sorry for my bad english. Thanks
same thing here, was on lineage oreo (lineage-15.1-20180423-nightly-gemini-signed.zip), suddenly proximity sensor not working (screen turning off when receiving call), installed miui to recalibrate, work fine, installed lineage oreo (lineage-15.1-20180507-nightly-gemini-signed.zip) again, proximity again failed
i think the problem started with the lineage oreo image lineage-15.1-20180423-nightly-gemini-signed.zip but might be the one after that..
i know it did work with the anoying april fool's version
same issue
I have the same issue here on my mi 5
Since nighty april update of lineage 15.1, my proximity sensor is not working anymore in call.

Fingerprint scanner not working after flashing RR

Hello, I would like to ask why my fingerprint scanner isn't working. It worked perfectly when I had miui but I switched yesterday to RR 7.0.2 and I can't even register new fingerprints. I forgot to delete my old ones when I flashed RR, is that the problem? How do I fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Best santoni ROM for reliable daily use? AICP? AEX? LOS? Stock?

Hi,
there are so many ROMs for santoni and I don't know which to use. I want to use the ROM on my main phone as a daily driver so stability is most important and I don't want to experiment.
I once used RR-Luis v5.8.5 which I really liked but it had some issues so I switched to Xiaomi.eu which I have been using ever since. Unfortunately since my last update the phone completely freezes every 2-3 days which is really annoying and furthermore there will be no MIUI 11 (don't know why).
So now I am considering waiting for 2 more months for Stock MIUI 11 Global ROM or switching to a good custom ROM. But which custom ROM would be best?
I really don't need much:
ROM must be stable.
Everything must work (including all sensors, BT, Wifi, Fingerprint etc.).
Camera2 API must work for GCam Mod.
Encryption must work.
Good Battery Life (possibility to block all the sh***y needless Wakelocks while keeping the needed ones would be great).
ROM must not be abandoned or EOL.
ROM must not be some small project with only half developer.
Customizing is nice, but stability is more important.
I am thinking about AICP, AEX or just LOS 16. Which of them is most stable/reliable?
I am using AEX since 10 September
AEX is stable and everything works fine
for GCAM i am using the arthur's 3.5.2
earlier i was using pixel experience
i used that for 2 months. but now it's discontinued.

Do you need to make full reinstall of AEX with every update? Or does dirty update work fine? Because at the related thread they recommend a clean install for updates.
I have been using latest AEX for a few weeks/months? and it is quite OK (although there are some problems with GPS and tonight my battery was completely drained). Unfortunately this is discontinued. Havoc OS and Pixel Experience seem to be maintained, but they are already based on Android 10 and my Goodix fingerprint sensor will not work. Not sure which ROM makes most sense at the moment.

What is goodix?

Santoni has two different fingerprint sensors: either FPC or Goodix. AFAIK only FPC works with Android 10 based ROMs at the moment.

Which ROM has perfect Android Auto (USB) functionality?

Hi guys,
can anybody here report back if there's a well working ROM that supports Android Auto perfectly? I don't mean the app itself, that should work on every ROM. But the connection to a car's infotainment and the external screen functionality.
I was using MIUI (xiaomi.eu in particular) for most of the time now, and with the recent versions, Android Auto started having serious issues. Car screen freezing, phone locking up completely and such things. Disabling HW overlays and not using AOD helps, but some issues remain.
I thought I'd give some AOSP ROMs a try (I want to go AOSP anyways, just stuck with MIUI until there were some stable ROMs to choose from). Sadly, none of the two AOSP ROMs (Pixel Experience and DerpFest) I've tried works flawlessly with Android Auto -> Similar issues of the phone locking up. Is this a general problem?
If not, could somebody recommend me a ROM that works perfectly with Android Auto?
Thanks in advance!
Wrong thread sorry

That's good to know, thanks for reporting in. I'd prefer an AOSP ROM if I am honest, but if there is no other way, I'll definitely go xiaomi.eu stable.
Just to report back on this question, I have tried a few more ROMs and I am going with Syberia. Although it's not on Android Q yet, it works perfectly and I have not yet encountered any bugs. Android Auto works flawlessly.
Glad you found one that works. I'm in the same boat. I've asked about this and over XDA, other forums and I just get ignored. I'm running an Umidigi F1 Play and can't find a single AOSP-based ROM that works with Android Auto on this phone. Stock works fine but I don't want to be a year behind in security updates just do I can run Android Auto. Currently running Lineage 17 on this phone and have been waiting for months for a fix to this issue.
Quick update, Paranoid Android Quartz Alpha 2 is on Android 10 and works fine!

There's no GSI though right? On the Umidigi, there are no custom ROMs. GSI is my only option.
