What is CAF?
CAF stands for Code Aurora Forum. Qualcomm releases stock AOSP android with optimisations for their chipsets periodically on CAF.

Based off latest Qualcomm sources from tag LA.UM.5.8.r1-00400-8x98.0 (msm 8998).


Working:
Just about Everything.


Not Working:
You tell


Installation
  • Flash rom
  • flash gapps (opengapps recommended)

Changelog:
* OSS Camera HAL (CAF tag LA.BF.1.1.3_rb1.15)
* Native Video recording without Hack (More details in below para)
* Dirac Sound
* Rootless Substratum support
* Tons of bug fixes

A note on video recording:
In android nougat, google split up mediaserver into several components to enhance security since the discovery of stagefright security bugs. As a result, the video recording and encoding, which were done on same process are now done on seperate process. So, this required changes to camera HAL. Since most of the devices do not have camera HAL sources, so they had no way but to revert android's security measures to make video recording work (hence the video recording hack was introduced).

As i said earlier, I didnt wanted to revert the security steps taken by google so i decided to take up another project here.

So now, i'd like to announce that I have successfully prepared open source camera HAL.
Yes, you read it right.. open source camera HAL for our very own cancro.

Since now we have open source camera, I have upgraded the HAL to support the new recording method introduced in android nougat (credits to @ashwin007 for his backport commits). This means, no security hack has been used in this ROM.

And as an added benefit, now we have more options and ways to fine tune our camera due to OSS. :eek::eek:

Test as much features of camera as u can. Feedback is welcome.

Review of ROM and screenshots

The ROM is really smooth and has really nice animations! No bugs as of now except the ones mentioned above. Overall great ROM! Do try!
P.S. Please don't complain like a noob and abuse the dev if you encounter a problem. The joke's on you.

Been using this ROM on my MI 4 for past 12 hours and here are my findings

There are no groundbreaking bugs as is and it can definitely be used as a daily driver.

As mentioned by the OP, video recording does not work but if you download a custom camera app from play store (I tried Footrej).. It seems to work properly. I haven't tried with other apps though. But the camera is still horrible. It is not able to focus properly and there's also a lot of noise.
Clock app FC can be fixed by downloading the Clock app by Google from Play Store and disabling the system one as both are exactly the same but there won't be any FCs in the Play Store one

Performance wise it's pretty decent, though it does hang sometimes here and there. But considering this is literally the first ROM for Nougat for cancro, it's excellent! (I wish there was a x.75 speed for animations *sigh*)

Battery life is also okay-ish. I won't say it's the best but it's not terrible either.

As for other stuff, there is a lot of delay when waking up device through dt2w or s2w. You might wanna look into that. And as already recognized by the OP, the backlight is not working though I hadn't really noticed it before others pointed it out.

P.S. Suggestions in Settings are damn annoying! Is there any way to disable them?

AOSP don't have theme engine built in, it's pure vanilla.

if you want you can install layers (don't complain if you face bugs since the rom is in testing)-
