I’ve been using the ROM for several hours, the only bug is the fingerprint & Notes. I won’t ask you to fix it because you must be a very busy guy and asking for that would be rude, thank you very much, did you mean with dev support?

I mean to support the developer of the devices. I mostly port to /e/OS only.
This is the developer if you like to support:

Can we update from your other 2.2 build or we should make a clean flash?

Thanks!

:warning: Risk of bricking the phone :warning:
Hello, during a flash-party we tried to install the rom on a Xiaomi Mi A3, first we struggle to flash TWRP and we end up using SHRP instead. Then we flashed the ROM : at first launch WiFi and SIM card weren’t working so we rebooted hoping it may solve this issues. But after powering down the phone it stopped responding : nothing displayed when charging, no response when pressing power button.
We read about a method using a DLE cable to unbrick it, but we don’t have this type of cable.
It may not be the ROM but rather the use of SHRP, or it may be a random hardware malfunction, we don’t know where lies the problem resulting in the brick, but be careful.

Also LineageOS 22.2 for Mi A3 is now an official thing since early June !
The same SkyBlueBorb has done the work and it’s available here : Info about laurel_sprout | LineageOS Wiki

The XDA Forums’ dedicated thread is here : https://xdaforums.com/t/official-rom-15-lineageos-22-2.4697979/

If this happens to someone else, be aware that I managed to fix (un-brick) the device @LePoissonLibre was mentioning, see detail in [laurel_sprout] Xiaomi Mi A3 bricked (#8719) · Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab
But I still don’t understand what happened that bricked the device in the first place.

I also just installed the recent version 3.0.1-a15 of /e/OS on it, and it seems to work fine for now.
Many thanks @ronnz98 !
