Hi Chineel, thanks for your great work. Can you please gapps to be used with this ROM? Is official nano open gapps would do?

@ Chineel, using this ROM with popcorn kernel and everything is good so far. Substratum working fine with no issue at all. All the options / tweaks one can imagine are there in this ROM. Please continue your support, really appreciate your work.

Maybe it's only me. Downloaded the latest ROM file twice but when I tried to install the ROM via TWRP, its not getting installed and stuck forever on TWRP screen. Will try one more time again.

    So quick update on what's on. New update will follow tonight or tomorrow. The restart issue is resolved (hopefully) with new shiny barebone upstreamed kernel which includes Oct security update by Google.... Running for few hours - rock solid. Plus, crdroid OTA will be back and some new features I have been reading in this topic. Cheers.

    Update time!

    Thank you for all feedback and logs. Get latest and so-far best build below. This build has dropped changes to serial driver (which fixed BT sleep earlier) since it crashes voice driver for many users and added new BT configuration along with kernel fix. At the same time, some of the kernel tunings are back in place to give more smoother experience. BCL and Thermal hotplug is rewritten to handle device hotplug as and when necessary without conflicting with each other (they are good friends now :p) Background apps will now use only Core 0 to work instead Core 0-3 in previous builds; This behavior is similar to stock and it is done to have optimal performance for foreground apps in extreme cases of BCL and thermal conditions. F2FS is not supported as of yet.

    Now that device seems good (hopefully, will hear good reviews) - we can accelerate on ROM features.


    Beta 5 release notes:

    • shamu: Rework BCL and thermal drivers hotplug
    • shamu: New BT sleep fix. Fixed voice driver crash.
    • shamu: Kernel and device optimizations
    • lockscreen: Max notifications configuration
    • lockscreen: Media art toggle
    • statusbar: VoLTE icon toggle
    • navbar: Pixel animation toggle
    • quicksettings: Expanded desktop tile (This is WIP - may give issues if you use)
    • Misc framework optimizations and trivial fixes

    For best experience, go for clean flash. New gapps based on open gapps official is uploaded - link in OP.

    Hey all,

    Thanks for the patience. Appreciate that. I have been testing several stuff over the weekend and just to make sure what I am doing makes impact - I do clean build to personal test builds most of the time which takes nearly 2 hours.

    It's good connect with @Myself5 . Luckily, the BT deep sleep fix works for him without any side effect (unlike us). And to add on, the compress offload audio does work on Carbon beta which he posted while ago. The logs from crDroid beta for this crash is not helping much and I am checking at different levels what could have gone wrong.

    There has been some progress and I am able to contribute missing pieces to the community slowly but will be able to post a new beta version when either of BT deep sleep or compress load audio gets fixed properly.

    Reference - https://github.com/neobuddy89/android_device_moto_shamu/commits/lineage-15.0

    Cheers.

    Nexus 6 Projects Discontinued.

    First of all, thanks to wonderful community out there. I bought Nexus 6 at its launch and now it's time to move on with @google no longer supporting official Oreo for shamu. Hope to see you all around. OP5 is my next choice with its specs and value for money. I will keep this topic open for a while for discussions around development related to Oreo on Nexus 6.

    If any dev would like to takeover my N6 projects, send me PM. Thanks and have a great time ahead. :highfive:
