Develop Bugs

[Q] how to flawlessly install or update roms?

hi there guys.
before posting this question i searched for my problem and i couldnt find a solution, i hope someone out there had the same problem and can help a noob.
-i have a gt 7105 unlocked generic.
-rooted
-twrp 2.4.1
-custom rom (cleanRom, 4.5 (congrats to the developer by the way))
problem is, i can install with no problem the 4.5 version, ALTHOU there is a new version 4.6.1 that i just cant install.
on the recovery everything is fine ( of course i do clean flash, wipe cash, format etc) but then i get stuck with the "samsung gt 7105" boot screen.
guys, i think i am missing something, and its buggin me. thanks for reading, any help is welcome. ( sorry if im forgetin to post more info)
ps: i also have a xperia arc, (lupus kernel), with custom rom ( xperia ultimate HD 2.0.3) THAT i am also unable to update/flash a newer version(3.0)!! i think the problem can be related, so i mentioned it.

There is no template way to install or update roms. It must be specified by the dev as to how to update the rom or install it.
It varies with the degree of mods.
You can try changing to appropriate kernels and doing a data wipe.

yes, you are right, and i did as the dev recomended, more than 3 times. i forgot to mention that my kernel is the latest perseus. which is used also by some in conjuction with cleanRom. what is buggin me is that i have no problems with instaling the previous version (4.5).
is it possible that not having the latest TWRP be the source of the problem??
thanks in taking the time to reply

Lineage OS 15.1

Hey,
does anybody know something about this ROM or did test it already?
http://lineage-os.ru/?d=elephone-p8000
Cheers

Tried it myself, it doesnt work to install it via TWRP

p8000
how to install

I have 14.1 running. Would like to try 15.1 but the download is really slow....

I am unable to use 15.1 :/ There is also a lineage os 16 version (same link) but I am also unable to install it via twrp. The P8000 is good, so sad that the development has stopped.

I unzipped 16.0 15.1 and 15.0 - their update-script mentions another device instead of the p8000. 14.1 mentions our device. Looks like the author did something wrong here (or I).

Sorry, for me it left my phone unusable.
Now since i have managed to get it up again, I want to leave this warning, don't try it, it might break things.
I have a question, can somebody give me a the /data/misc/wifi/ wpasupplicant.conf file please? My Wifi is unusable since i copied my supplicant.conf over to that place
stupid me. Red W"ine and messing in settings don't match ...
cheers

@utz
You could try the stock rom https://www.needrom.com/download/p8000-stock-rom-twrp-custom-recovery-easyupdated-all-in-one/
Is the wpasupplicant.conf rom based? Currently I have lineage-14.2-20171026-official-p8000.zip running from https://cloud.mail.ru/public/EXYz/rfqtmrzAn
I could give the file to you (or you unzip it yourself).
Regards

@Hamburml, thank you mate.
I have got one already, will flash the CR-Droid when my head is free, don't want to mess things up again.
have a great time

Looking for stock, debloated, deodexed, microG-backed MIUI rom

So I came back to the forum after 6 months and was pleasantly surprised by the number of custom roms available now. From the few (currently trending) threads I checked out, I see that either there are still some kind of bugs are still lingering or the dev abandoned the project or the thread was closed or ... I think you get the point. For this reason, I'd rather stick with the official stock rom but I never quite liked the bloatware (both mi and google) and google tracking. To maximise performance and battery life, I wish to clean my rom of all of these stuff or, if possible, install a pre-configured one.
I have some questions though:-
1. Best way to debloat?
Yes, I have tried adb uninstall command when I first got the phone but for some reason, that didn't work. I saw a recent guide on the forum for this purpose that I could try later.
2. Any experience with microG on MIUI?
I don't know if it's possible/working on MIUI roms since this is my first Xiaomi device.
3. Recommended custom ROM?
I may have missed out on all the good stuff during my absence. If you could recommend a rom you find the most stable and clean, even if it is AOSP, it would save me a lot of time.
Look, you are probably going to tell me that I could have done a bit more search on my own before posting here. The thing is, I have returned to the whole modding stuff after 4 years so lest I might break/mess up things, I deemed it more reasonable to ask here.
Hope someone sees this. Thank you.

You're looking for the exact same thing I did.
For me the solution was lineageos with microg, magisk, fdroid store + aurora store.
Lineageos has some minor bugs for me, as well as cameras not working properly.
Reason for most bugs in the most roms is probably that they are based on Android 10,
the devs will probably be able to solve all the bugs as soon as Xiaomi releases miui 12 for this device, which will be based on Android 10.
What you are looking for is probably miui EU rom.
You can easily debloat most of the unwanted sofware with "Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tools".
Your problems with ADB probably has to do with SU priviligies.
If I remeber correctly you have to use Xposed framework in order to get microg running on miui, I could be wrong on this!
Hope this helps a bit!

Thanks! I am more inclined to use vanilla Android than MIUI. At least now I know my desired setup is within the realm of possibility. Will surely give LineageOS a try.

Help instlaling custom ROM please :(

So, my Mi A2 Lite just decided to make 3g/4g not work anymore.
I was thinking of installing a custom ROM but I'm scared of that anti-rollback thing; you know, I'd prefer not to brick my device.
I was looking into HavocOS and POSP: my device is on Pie and has Magisk on it.
How can I install a custom ROM without bricking the device? (I need my phone, lol)
EDIT:
also, what about downgrading? I saw someone managed to do that but I'd like to be sure
EDIT2:
I just ran "fastboot getvar anti" and it gave me "anti: " with no value, why is that?
thx every1 <3

Hi, thanks for replying.
I saw those threads, but anti-rollback is not mentioned anywhere.
That's why I started this thread, to be sure that I'm not missing anything haha
So can I proceed with those guides without worrying about ARB?

Yes you can, just read carefully, cause my guide isn't perfect, but fixes for all issues cause by downgrading can be found on other pages

Question Replace Gapps and services with microG on rooted stock rom?

I rooted my xiaomi mi 11 lite primarily because I want to get rid of everything google in there. I later found out that I need to have signature spoofing enabled in my rom and nanoDroid has to be installed through custom recovery. Which is kinda heart breaking since this device does not have custom recovery yet.
I came across this post which mentions that one can enable signature spoofing in their device. I lack basic knowledge about android and its customizations (ex ios user) so am scared to brick or break my device. There was also a mention of deodexed device (its hard even to pronounce that)
Since this device does not have a custom rom yet, my concern is can I enable signature spoofing in stock miui rom ( its rooted) and eventually replace Gapps with microG somehow? Help is much appreciated.

Please someone help!

Is this too noob a question to not make a pro even bother to answer or is this forum just dead. Or this question doesn'nt even belong here? I won't know since Im new to all this.

I guess we should just wait until this phone have a custom recovery to fix your problem.

Try use GSI rom
