LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of android, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock android for your device.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. If you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit our Wiki.
Important Info
To flash this rom you need TWRP 3.2.0-0 or newer. https://twrp.me/huawei/huaweinexus6p.html
Make sure you have the radio & bootloader img's installed from the stock oreo 8.1 OPM7.181205.001 Dec 2018 factory image.
They can be extracted from the factory image on google's site here. Or you can use the ones linked below that I already extracted:
radio & bootloader img's: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=286833
Those img's can be flashed with fastboot command.
Note: There's an issue happening to some angler users on custom oreo roms. The first boot after flashing rom your sim card might not be detected. It's easy to fix. Just go to lockscreen security settings and change it to 'none' and then reboot. Then you can change it back to whatever you want. This only happens one time when you first flash oreo.
Download Links
rom: https://download.lineageos.org/angler
Note: LineageOS servers no longer make 15.1 builds for any devices. You can use my unofficial builds here. My older builds are here.
Note#2: if you want to switch from an official build to my unofficial builds, follow instructions here.
google apps (optional): https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.html (Use arm64 / 8.1)
root su addon (optional): https://download.lineageos.org/extras Note: Use arm64 15.1 zip. After installing the su addon, you can enable root in developer options.
Instructions
If updating from old unofficial to newer unofficial, follow the steps below:
1. if you don't already have them installed, flash the newest radio and bootloader img's linked above.
2. boot into twrp and flash the rom zip.
Reboot & enjoy.
NOTE: if you previously flashed gapps and/or the su addon, there's no need to flash them again. They will be automatically re-installed during rom zip installation.
NOTE2: if you want to switch from an official build to my unofficial builds, follow instructions here.
If coming from a different rom:
1. if you don't already have them installed, flash the newest radio & bootloader img's linked above. also make sure you have the newest twrp, linked above.
2. boot into twrp and wipe system & data & cache.
3. flash rom & gapps & su addon zips (gapps & su zips are optional).
Reboot & enjoy.
Weather Provider Addon (Optional)
For those that like the lineage cLock widget, here's the OpenWeather apk you need to get weather info.
https://download.lineageos.org/extras
Grab the one for version 16.0. It also works with 15.1.
Note: You'll need an api key from OpenWeather.

Hey Razor. I used to be on your builds a couple of years ago in the old hammerhead and looking forward to flash your work again when 15.1 is out, this time on angler. Cheers! :fingers-crossed:

Any bugs? Is it suitable for daily driver? Just tired to wait for official build and want to flash as fast as possible. )

Thanks Razorl!!!!!

Error 7 -- make sure to flash the new twrp recovery if you face this issue!!

Says no SIM card
Clean flash following instructions, TWRP 3.2, latest bootloader/radio/vendor, flashed vendor -> rom -> gapps. Otherwise no errors.
Any suggestions?

Forgot to mention in the first post. This has been happening on many custom ROMs.
An easy fix is to go to security settings and change screen lock to swipe or none, then reboot. That will remove the device protection that caused the no sim problem.
After the reboot, the problem is fixed and won't happen anymore. Then you can go back into security settings and change it back to whatever screen lock option you want.

It's weird though. I have unlock protection and got no issue when flashing this.
Can it also be related to your carrier or something?

Its not just caused by unlock protection. I posted details on the issue in my 14.1 thread about a month ago.

Hi, looking to potentially begin using custom ROMs on my 6P to help combat some battery and performance issues I get. With future updates, do I have to keep manually flashing the radio, etc firmware or can I just OTA/DL zip of lineage and flash? Seems like a bit of a pain :/

Hi, once a month you need to flash the new vendor for security updates
Google release them once a month (usually the first tuesday of the month)
However when you flash an update that does not require new vendor, you don't need to flash it
edit: just realised you're also from Melbourne, hi

Just have installed the last unofficial in my Angler, coming from another custom rom ( with Nougat). All good. Plan to stay here. Thanks !

Anyone having problems with the phone shutting down saying 0% battery when in reality you still have plenty of battery left? Just did a clean install and it happened after only installing chrome and whatsapp.

Awesome news, I can't wait to download the first build once the build servers spit it out! Thanks for everyone's continued work on the m9! I'm sure a lot of non-VZ folks will be excited as well!
I'm assuming we should be on the latest Verizon 6.0 firmware for this, 3.37.605.19? (Edit: At time of posting)

As long as you are on any MM firmware. It might not be till next week for official build. You can go ahead and download my custom build to make sure all the bugs are out before official builds get here.

volte will probably never work on hima aosp roms. HTC have weird modems.

Looking forward to the official LineageOS 14.1 release for the Verizon HTC M9. Thanks for all your hard work, Flyhalf.
In addition to the OS update, I was also looking to update to the latest firmware, 3.37.605.19. I'm currently on the latest unofficial LineageOS 13.0 release from 03/16 with firmware 3.37.605.15.
2 part question--to simply update the firmware, is the correct firmware to flash the 3.37.605.19_NoBoot-NoRecovery_firmware.zip from santod's thread? And is it safe to flash future firmware updates as they are released?
Just trying to avoid any incompatibility with LineageOS (if that's even a thing) and a bricked device.
Thanks!

Not sure about the firmware version, but keep in mind if you flash the "NoRecovery" firmware, you'll need to flash twrp separately. I just installed "3.37.605.19_NoBoot_TWRP3.0.2-0_firmware.zip" without any issues. I'm on latest LOS 13.0

Well technically the latest firmware is 3.37.605.28 as of a day or two ago... But to answer you question, yes. All you have to do is flash the NoBoot-NoRecovery_firmware.zip and is perfectly fine to flash future updates.
Remember: Make sure you use the NoBoot No Recovery or else you'll have to find a computer to flash twrp back onto it and flash LineageOS before your phone can boot again.

Thank you both for your replies. Slightly different answers, so I just need 1 thing clarified.
I currently have TWRP installed. If I flash the No Boot-No Recovery, will it only update the firmware and leave TWRP in place and untouched?

Yes

Battery life seems slightly worse than 13.0 was for me. I'm not a heavy screen-on-time user, so most drain is just passive standby screen off time. If I had to randomly guess, the screen-off drain rate is maybe 35% faster on 14.1 so far.
I have the performance profile set to Efficiency, as I did in 13.0. I may root (or use ADB) and have a look at wakelocks, but based off the battery "History Details" in Settings, the phone does not seem to be getting stuck awake for extended periods of time or anything. I periodically monitored battery voltages too and the battery percentage seems to be accurate, though I don't really have anything to base that on other than knowledge of LiPo/Li-ion batteries.
I'll follow up if I discover anything helpful, but has anyone else noticed slightly worse screen-off battery performance too?

Ok, can someone here tell me how to get root access on this rom? I have tried flashing the armsupersuaddon and armsupersux64 zips, neither worked. Then I tried enabling root access in the dev options and installing SuperSu from the store, that seemed to and went ahead and attempted to install binaries, but now my phone is bootlooping...I am on the latest nightly if that helps, but the first one didn't work with the flashable zips either.

I got root by installing "the LineageOS su add-on", as described in the wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/himawl/install#installing-lineageos-from-recovery (addon zip comes from https://download.lineageos.org/extras, "addonsu-arm64-signed.zip").

I tried that one...didn't work. Might try it again after I get my phone setup again, but that's going to take a long while. Ended up having to factory reset, so I need to download a hundred apps and reset all my 2 factor authentications...all for root. Not keen to go through this again.

After you flash the root addon zip you have to enable root in developer settings and it should work after that. I know it is a pain but you may want to try to start over again.
But a lot of users are using root less and less these days. I don't have root currently on mine. Don't need it.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot...and I agree about root. I only wanted it because I have the Pixel launcher flashed to my phone as a system app, but its been glitching up and making it to where I cannot swipe cards away on google now, so I was going to install pixelize and use that to see if it's version of the launcher didn't have the issue. So I found myself needing root for the first time since my M7.

LineageOS is a free and open-source operating system for smartphones and tablet computers, based on the Android mobile platform.
This is an unofficial build of LineageOS for the Pixel 2 (walleye). I always liked Lineage (and its predecessor CyanogenMOD) as well as the Google line of phones. Unfortunately having a Google Pixel phone isn't certainty for a lot of custom ROMS anymore, so that's why I decided to compile my own version. It's been quite challeging, but I think I finally have a build that is good enough to share.
About
This ROM is is always built straight from the LineageOS sources found on https://github.com/lineageos. There are only 3 changes in order to get this build:
The binaries for this ROM come from AICP
GApps are compiled with the ROM from MindTheGapps including the Pixel specific bits for unlimited photo upload for instance
Disabled Android Verity Boot (AVB), so we don't get the security warning when booting
I am not a developer, I only build this ROM and it reflects the the current status. If there are any things missing or not working I suggest to contact the LineageOS team, they are the real geniuses here and deserve all the credits. I will try to keep this ROM updated on a regular basis.
First Installation
Installing the ROM can be a little hard, especially the first install. Upgrades will be relatively easy though. This first setup is only needed when coming from a different ROM then this. I can't support you if you did't follow this first installation. Be warned it will wipe your user data in the process
In order to get the initial setup and also to use the same vendor partition as the ROM you have to install the latest stock Pixel 2 image from Google found here. More info on unlocking your phone and installing the latest Pixel image can be found in the excellent post by @nathanchance found here. The bestway to flash a stock ROM in my opinion is @Deuces' script found here. The benefit of this is that it'll flash the image to both slots, so they are both on the latest build, including the bootloader and radio. All instructions for using the script are inside the forum. After flashing the image make sure you reboot at least once (no need to set it up now though).
Place the ROM and optionally the TWRP zip and root from (Magisk or from LineageOS (not tested) on the phone and reboot to recovery by using the command line (fastboot boot twrp.img)
Wipe 'data' and 'Dalvik / Art Cache' from TWRP - Wipe - Advanced Wipe. Optionally you should also delete the Android folder on your internal storage through the TWRP File Manager
Flash the ROM and optionally the TWRP zip and reboot the phone
Upgrades to new version
After the hard initial work to get the ROM installed it's going to be easy for upgrades to new versions.
Download the new ROM and reboot of flash to TWRP
Flash the new ROM and optionally TWRP. If you want to flash another kernel or a root solution you will have to reboot you phone, so it switches slots and let it boot normally. Then go back to recovery and flash in this order: TWRP - kernel - Magisk and reboot
After a monthly update from Google and only when LineageOS also adapted to the latest monthly sources (I will tell you this) you will have to do an extra step:
Download the latest Lineage OS ROM and place it on the internal storage
Download the latest image from the Google Factory Images site and run Deuces' script. No need to wipe your data!
After the script finishes it automatically boots into the bootloader. From here fastboot into TWRP and flash the previously downloaded new ROM, optionally followed by TWRP.
Optionally, after a reboot you can flash Magisk and/or another kernel.

I don't have a clue. It just seems that anyone who posts a ROM gets the thread closed. It's almost as if they don't want walleye to have any development.
Just check this forum out compared to the pixel XL 2 forum.

Thanks very much for sharing this. I've got it installed and it's running fantastic.

Everyone who has had a rom thread has closed the thread for different reasons, time, family, frustration or lack of support etc...
I see don't see why we should be negative and assumee the same is the case with this build. Every rom thread has produced better and more stable builds as time progressed.
@Joregen2009, I have seen your name around before, appreciate you building!!

It's my pleasure. I only wanted to share my build, because I know that many of you much be as frustrated as me for the lack of ROMs for our device.
We'll see how long this thread will hold. If it's up to me I'll try to provide at least a weekly build from the actual sources, or whenever there are some major changes in the sources that are important for our device until the Lineage Team declares our device official. Let's hope that happens soon and that this thread can contribute to that.

Awesome! Thanks for this ROM. Any known issues one should be aware of before flashing?

Does Lineage have Substratum support ?? Having trouble connecting......
Update. Found answer - : no substratum support

@jorgen2009
Hey thanks so much for the ROM. Its working great!
Is there any chance you could link me the kernel source for this specific build? (Pixel2)
I'm trying to figure out how to rebuild it with the drivers for my TP-LINK WN722N V1.
I really don't know what I'm doing but I'm trying to learn.
I'm trying to follow this guide to accomplish this.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2338179
I do have Kali for Magisk up and running just fine.
Lsusb command shows my WiFi Adaptor but the kernel won't let me use it.
Thanks so much for reading, if what I'm trying to do is stupid feel free to let me know why haha. If I get it to work I'll share it with everyone.

Sure, see LineageOS sources on github, I didn't touch the kernel in this build:
https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_google_wahoo

I am still getting the security warning when booting. Am I the only one so I missed something?
Other question: is the Trusted Faces not working because the used GApps package has not been modified for the Pixel, or the ROM has got some incompatibility issue?

Great job. Just a little bug: Long press power button to turn on torch is not working when Ambient Display is set to always on.

Are you sure you are on the April vendor? Your vendor version must be the same as the ROM needs (currently the April one).
Trusted Faces is GApps related yes, it's not in MindTheGApps. I'll try to make a build with OpenGApps in to see if that works. Both Face Detection for Media and Face Unlock are in the Nano package (https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Nano-Package)

I'll put it in the known issues list in the OP later this week for an overview

Another build is up. This time I used OpenGapps so you might need to clear the Store cache. I had no problems upgrading myself. The Text-to-speech improved a lot with these Gapps for me.
New in this build is the LED light when charging and some basic stuff for more compatibility with our device and some networks. Also all the normal changes since the last build for LineageOS are in of course. For the download link see the OP. I also adjusted the OP a bit to show the things that are known not to work. Let me know if I missed something so I can adjust the list

is anyone else having trouble with Gboard themes on this ROM? If I pick a gradient theme it just hangs and crashes.
I flashed this with Mini gapps first and had a hard time getting through setup, tried again with pico with more success.

Has anyone tried razorloves' MindTheGapps package?

Haha, weird things.
I recommend OpenGapps.
Flashing procedure is
Flash Carbon
Flash TWRP
Reboot to recovery (this switches slots, it's important)
Flash GApps

How to flash if I only want twrp temporary? Same way?

Leave out the "Flash TWRP" part and replace "reboot to recovery" with "reboot to bootloader and boot the twrp image"

Not judging but simply confused...
I see people not wanting to install twrp and it just makes no sense to me why I would want to limit my options and functionality.
It's been like almost a year since twrp had been totally stable for me with no decryption or touch issues.
Again, what is it folks are afraid of??

I'm digging how clean and fast this ROM is. Hopefully you get your server issues resolved soon.

Trying this out again! Carbon was the first ROM I've ever used on my Pixel 2 XL and absolutely loved the experience.

So do I... We already have a new host because we're fed up with the old one. Currently waiting for the old one to finally answer our support ticket and bring the server back on so we can move our data to the new server and can call it a day with the old host.

Has anyone tried installing NanoDroid with this?
I went from factory image -> flash rom -> flash twrp -> reboot recovery -> flash magisk -> flash full nanodroid.zip
This leads to a bootloop until it boots back into recovery

When I try to set up any password, it does not let me proceed after the second test. Confirm gets grayed out

The issue here would be magisk. You usually need to boot to the system at least once before you can sucessfully flash Magisk. Don't know the reasons but it's seems to be an ongoing theme on A/B devices. Same happens on my OP6 and 6T

So theoretically I need flash the rom in 'A,' flash magisk on 'B', boot into the system once, reboot recovery into 'B,' and then install nanodroid?
Edit: Well I ignored Magisk and rebooted to recovery to install nanodroid after rom installation and it booted back into recovery unfortunately.

Does anyone have any information about the battery life on DU compared to stock or another rom?
Also, is it rooted by default?
Thanks for bringing this rom to the Pixel 3a!

Battery life is subjective and depends on too many variables. That being said, battery life on DU is leat least quivalent, but should be better than stock.

It's not rooted by default, but you may use Magisk if you want root.

I see you list instructions for flashing with a device with TWRP, does this mean if I flash back to Android 9 and install TWRP, that I can then run this ROM and TWRP even though its based on Android 10?

Hey thanks.
When I fastboot flash the boot.img, can I just initially use the magisk-patched version you've provided in your files there, in lieu of the plain boot.img? Would that save me some effort of setting up magisk afterwards, and I could boot into an already-rooted ROM?

For the first flash / clean flash, don't use the Magisk patched boot image. Let the device boot up once after the sideload. You can reboot before running the setup and flash the Magisk patched boot image and then continue the setup. And you'll have to install MagiskManager after the device setup. It will ask you to reboot once.
For updates / dirty flash, you can sideload the ROM, reboot to bootloader and flash the Magisk patched boot image and then reboot to retain Magisk

This may be a very dumb question, but in terms of raw code, what is the difference between a rom for the Pixel 3a / Pixel 3a XL? Except the screen and the battery, the devices do not differ...wouldn't the DU Pixel 3a XL rom work as well?
Thanks for the rom - downloading it right now
Edit: I seem to have an issue with the first time wizard - it finds my wifi, but is somehow stuck. I've skipped it, but can't restore anything from my google backups...
ROM seems to be running quite good however

The devices are nearly identical, and ROMs are likely mostly cross-compatible, but there are subtle differences like some of the configs... Screen and power to name a few.
The setup wizard works fine on both WiFi and mobile data. But I also don't know what you mean by "stuck". Does it connect to your WiFi networks? Have you tried it with your mobile data?

It just stays at the initial "Checking for Updates...". Yes, both LTE and WiFi are connected and i've tried it with both. I can just skip all of it and have been able to restore a backup afterwards
I have to say, it's a pretty amazing rom...i've got roughly 7 hours of SoT, a ton of standby, reception is good (i wish it would stay a bit longer on LTE, before switching over to Edge)

I've fixed the WiFi issue. I will post the update soon.

New build date 2020-08-16 uploaded. This fixes the WiFi issue where the device sometimes does not connect to a WiFi network and hangs. No other changes since the 2020-08-08 build.

Thank you for keeping the 3a alive with a custom rom!

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][Android 11] LineageOS 18.1 [joyeuse/miatol][22/01/21]

LineageOS 18.1 is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.
We have progressed to LineageOS 18.1
Flash instructions :
Use latest pbr recovery for miatol, supports decryption - beta available here, https://pitchblackrecovery.com/joyeuse/.
DO NOT - Wipe data!, ONLY FORMAT, otherwise you may hose the phone.
There is a way to fix this without the fastboot factory clean, flash and lock with the official Xiaomi tool, which was forcing you to clean and lock... now available here: https://github.com/Szaki/XiaomiADBFastbootTools
If you hose the phone, use this tool - you need to install JRE though, as the tool is Java base. Put your phone is fastboot, use the tool to download the latest global rom (or whichever). Then go to where its downloaded, extract the .xy/tar file, then go back into the tool and under "image" select the folder INSIDE the folder you just extracted, then select "clean install" and install it. This will flash the majority of imgs but will error out at the end and be unable to create the "user data" partition.
That's okay, because all of the partitions will be setup again, and you can flash any rom you want again. So when its done, and still in fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img being the latest joyeuse pbr recovery, you renamed to recovery.img and were in that folder in the command prompt, so it will flash that recovery) or use the tool to select that recovery and it will flash it for you and reboot into for you if you like.
(Do this step last, after Magisk, if you want to unencrypt, no worries if you don't unencrypt - PBR recovery will decrypt your data ON THE SECOND TRY OF ENTERING YOUR SCREENLOCK PIN NUMBER...), the new PBR Miatol Beta 10/14/20, fixes this issue, it is now decrypted on the first entry of the phone's lockscreen PIN. Then flash disable_dm-verity_forceencrypt.zip available here for those who want decrypted data partition: https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe and other places as well.
If you are encrypted and decide to unencrypt later, you will need to flash the disable_dm-verity_forceencrypt.zip in miatol recovery, then format data. Store roms, gapps, recoveries (just in case), disable_dm-verity, magisk install and uninstall and all that stuff on the SD card, so you can use them in PBR after you format DATA (the first step after installing PBR miatol recovery), just FYI. Then do the following:
Flash ROM
Flash OpenGAPPS for android 11 nano
Boot into android, make sure its working and install Magisk Manager 8.0.7, then reboot into recovery and install Magisk 21.4 (in recovery, I did not need to extract the boot.img and patch in Magisk Manager, and reboot into recovery to flash the patched boot.img, but your results may be different): https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases. If you want to unencrypt (no guarantees its permanent though) you need to format data, THEN FLASH MAGISK, then flash disable_dm-verity (always the last step)- I usually wipe dalvik and cache too.
USE LATEST MIATOL PBR RECOVERY, PLEASE.
SD card issues resolved with the implementation of the EXFat android driver.

Have you tried it?
How is it? Good for daily?

There are so many Joyeuse LineageOS ROMs I don't even know where to start.

i don't see you mentioned mobile network in bugs section; does it work? i'll try this rom in a couple hours

Tell me please. If phone will be locked with black screen and i say "ok google". Will it work? Or it will work only if screen is unlocked?

sorry if its not much, since i can't do much on this rom. flashed nikogapps, google sign-in succeded but it seems that i cant install anything from play store.
(dumb me forgot to screenshot, it only says "something went wrong" when i try to install an app from play store)
about ok google from lockscreen/screen off, i tried it, also not working. can't confirm about volte since volte still relatively new here and hasn't developed that much.

Why nikgapps? Open gapps nano is recommended.
Sent from my Redmi Note 9 Pro using Tapatalk

Flash it and using it by now, so far so good, sometimes it gets a little freeze but nothing serious, miracast reboots phone so dunno if this is a bug or not, proximity sensor is another one cuz while I was in speaking with my pal screen was on all the time and my ear activated bluetooth and DND
Have nothing to talk about VoLTE cuz in my country is not available.
ANX modules left my phone in bootloop so instead I went for GCam. Flash unofficial opengapps nano and make sure to use Wi-Fi to complete the first run.
Magisk canary works so it can be rooted.
Keep the hard work!
*Sorry if I made some writing mistakes, english is not my native language. Cheers!!

Tried flashing the latest build (02.10.20) using the latest TWRP from the thread you linked but I get the "can't install package over new build" error. Is it required to come from stock miui?

NOTE: You should be on 11.0.7.0 QJZMIXM (EU) Global firmware for this build. Also, I have a newer build, but its not ready for primetime and has issues with SMS and Call Log enabling permissions.
Oh, and BTW, if you hose your ROM/Phone, just flash vbmeta.img in fastboot to avoid using the factory fastboot img flash, otherwise you many need to wait another 7 days to unlock the bootloader.

The dev for this build is: @wight554, all thanks and credit go to him, he is awesome, and I, for one, seriously appreciate this ROM as it works very well for me. It is so snappy and smooth, with a super fast boot time, no reboots and generally pretty frickin AWESOME!

First of all, thank you guys @gigahurts & @wight554 very much for working on supporting this device :good::good:
Could you pretty please confirm that you intend to continue working on this and maintain this device? I am planning to buy two joyeuse devices for daily usage and I would like to be at least partially sure I can run LineageOS on them. Also do you think the current known issues will be possible to resolve in the near-ish future? :fingers-crossed: Thanks for your reply in advance. All the best.

hey Swiftor,
We will continue to work on this rom. LineageOS has been around a long time, development has spread across so many devices, however, the hardware of many devices is very similar, so support will continue. The last Redmi Note 8 pro, had a mediatek SOC, and made development difficult until MIUI decided to release its source. The snapdragon platform is very mature and is more easily and readily available to develop roms for. Redmi Note 10 pro has been released in India, and has a slightly better processor 765g vs 730g, but the kernel and hardware are very similar, so I development for this phone and the Note 10 pro should parallel and continue. We are working on submitting an official 18.0 release, but have to have all hardware (and software) fully functional and as close to zero bugs as possible. I predict development to continue as long as Xiaomi continues to release new MIUI roms for this device (and they continue to release roms for phones much, much older than this).
I have updated the first post with a newer release. Let me know if you have any issues and I will try to help.
Thanks for the props too

does magisk 21 work on the latest build? really excited for android 11

So this will not be compatible with curtana devices?

Thanks to all developers for this rom. Installed on Curtana with Magisk canary, I had to use Magisk props to pass safetynet. All seems to be working ok.??

everything is working perfectly and its showing charging rapidly , it was on 88% and showing 10 minutes until full
everything is completely smooth gonna keep it for my daily use

hi! wich props do u use for fingerprint? i can't pass safety on my joyeuse

there're few thing that you need to fix @gigahurts
1) you putting wrong kernel source. its should be this link
2) why would you mirror it when you can get it in his sourceforge

Why is today's build 590MB while all others are 1.1GB?
