Thank you. Running this ROM right now.

An issue I've noticed is the battery is draining relatively quickly. All I have running is spotify.

Spotify does drain battery quicker than usual but yeah ive also noticed the battery draining faster than usual, maybe its just i use custom roms more intensively than stock roms.

I have a few suggestions for this rom,
-Add a google camera port if possible(I dont know if there is one for A5)
-Add a white bootanimation for those who want it (including me)
-Fix battery drain
I'm not using the rom at the moment so i forgot other bugs it had, but im gonna go back to it to test.
I really like the rom and think it has great potential, keep up the good work!

I rooted my phone after my last comment and recalibrated my battery, it seems to have fixed the issue for now.

This are some of the problems that i experienced:

1. The back and recent keys light up when you tap anywhere on the screen, rather than only lighting up when one of them was tapped.
2. The Cast option maybe works, but the wireless display option (to connect to a tv) doesnt work, i cant make screen mirroring with my TV. Whent i try to connect to my tv, the phone simply restarts.
3. Fix the live wallpapers lag, some of them work, but some of them dont (pixel 3 live wallpapers), even tho all of them were working very well in the first built. Here is the link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904016567 . (please fix this:crying

4. Sometimes my camera works (Gcam that i downloaded), and even works on the other apps, but sometimes it doesnt want to work on any app, that also includes the Gcam. And please fix the flash light.
5. The screen has like a yellow filter (NOT the night mode), and i had to install "Color Changer Pro" to fix the colors of the screen. Even if i try to install the ROM again, its still the same problem (PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THIS)

This is all i have to say, besides all of this, the Rom is very fast and i enjoy it very much, hope you'll pay attention to this message, and i hope you will fix this problems.

When I first installed this ROM, I was getting only 1.5hr of screen on time, I'm getting about 4.5 now. Before I installed this ROM I was getting around 4.5hrs of screen on time, and for me it seems reasonable as I leave LTE on all the time.

To get better battery, I used kernel auditor to change CPU freq to 1.2ghz instead of 1.8ghz (it didn't help), and then I downloaded battery calibrator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blogspot.superthomaslab.batterycalibration), and that helped a lot.

I'll post a screenshot of battery usage later in the day and see if our battery usage is similar.

I found a new issue, I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but using a Bluetooth device to speak on the phone does not work. No sound in or out.

This is my usage, it seems to have gotten better with time, as you can see I've enabled the navbar in build.prop but my capacitive buttons still work without lighting up so thats something to fix or add a buttons option. Another thing, hotspot appears to work only if you go in the settings and turn it on.

Can I turn off capacitive keys and use NFC with this?

There's a toggle for NFC but it doesn't work, and no you can't turn off the capacitive keys, but you can enable software keys by editing the build.prop or by downloading an app that enables software keys (you'll need root).

Disregard

So here's an update: the phone goes "all day" with moderate to low usage, a few hours of Spotify playback with LTE, a little Snapchat here and there, and some email checking and other social medias.

An issue I've come across, as I've mentioned before, is that Bluetooth audio isn't working when answering and making calls. I've been running this as a daily driver for the past 3 days and aside from these issues as of right now, it's all good.

P.s., I had my phone turned off for approx. an hour while I was writing an exam.

Thanks for the detailed feedback!
The Bluetooth call problem was fixed, and will be included in the next update!
Cheers

Ive also been using it for the past 3 days mobile data seems to be the biggest battery draining thing so far.
Otherwise everything is working including NFC cameras flash is still a problem, but that might be because of my gcam mod. On screen navigating bar still works alongside capacitive buttons. It's a great room and seems it could go official real soon.

BorisM. · Mar 4, 2019

So I'm just gonna make a list of things that work/dont work.
-Now Playing and weather on lockscreen and ambient display works perfectly
-Bluetooth, NFC and Hotspot work sometimes (NFC works if you spam turn it on, hotspot is the same)
-Mobile data standby seems to use too much battery (which is a problem cause i like to keep it on at all times), otherwise works perfectly
Suggestions
-Add an option to make the ambient display brighter for outside
-Add a buttons option like lineageOS has (I know it is in bugs, just saying)
-I'm still looking for a Gcam mod that works if I find one I'm gonna link it here (If anyone has one link it if possible)
Thats all for now

Pokemon Go thinks my phone is rooted with a fresh install of this ROM, and won't run

That's because SafetyNet fails. There's CSC profile mis-match

There's a magisk module that lets you change your device fingerprint allowing it to pass, also need to have magisk manager hidden, and check pokemon go in magisk hide for it to run

I don't actually want to be rooted, but if that's the only way to go about it, I might give it a try, because all the other ROMs around here look pretty abandoned :-/
