I've flashed this on my mi5 running Oreo.. Ant tester still reports no built in ant. Any ideas?

i'm not used oreo yet.
if you use official miui or unofficial los15, maybe you need rebuilt binary or fix something..

What's the state of ANT+ with the Xiaomi Mi5 nowadays? I'm trying to get ANT+ to work with Oneplus 3T (MSM8996 Pro).. OnePlus didn't include the ANT+ in the Android 9 update from 2019 while it was working in the previous versions of Oxygen OS (5.x.x / Android 8 )

I don't use official firmware, but it wouldn't work samely as your case.
at least, ANT+ of MI5 works well on lineageos 18.1(android 11) without any extra job.
it's just highly related their build configure.
so, firmware maker just do building with right configuration, ACT+ will be works very well.
