that Ubuntu is just a beta for now
I can handle it?

The code went to release candidate & was frozen from changes day before. No more radical development. It's quite stable & much better in most areas.

Is it posible that someone can take Lineage OS in his hands and continue to develop it for us and maybe make Oreo happen?
Develop N lineage? I'm doing that. All this MM blobs stuff is on Lineage 14. I don't have the time for oreo because I chose to do the other 2 projects. 4.4 kernel & MM blobs.

Hi, there is new release. In the changelog there is only lawnchair and magisk version upgrades. Is there any other improvements? If not, is there a need for new release just to update apps or magisk?
It is easy to upgrade the applications individually, i would build new release if for example it will include april security patch update or some other improvements.. What do you think about this, am i thinking wrong?
By the way thanks for the new build of course :eek:

Hi guys! The last build is as good as the previous one. Thank you! Definitely, you are going the right way. We are waiting for the next one with the April security updates.
I tried to make the screen broadcast to the TV. The picture quality is very poor and the sound plays on the phone, not on the TV. YouTube application works in a stable broadcast. But when playing from Chrome video periodically stops and spontaneously runs Google Music. Please check this with anyone who has the opportunity. I checked on two phones. The effect is the same.

Quick question: coming from LineageOS

Thank you so much for the effort.

I want to try this new ROM, but I'm still not sure how to upgrade.

I'm currently running the last LineageOS update for Z00A from this january. Is it safe to dirty flash on top of that version? Or should I start from scratch?

You can't upgrade or flash GA on top of Lineage.
You must wipe system, data, cache, dalvik/art.
Read the "install the rom" paragraph http://groovyandroid.ga/installation

I think the issue is due to unlocked bootloader detection. Uninstalling Magisk probably won't help. But you can try anyway and tell us what happened.

I just flashed magisk uninstaller and tada The banking app works.

Also I want to know, where can I find the viper audio file? coz the one in the groovyandroid page says error 404 file not found.
also do I need to simply flash the viper file?

Hi guys!! I have this problem... When I open a video in the browser (pre-installed browser) from YouTube or other sites the video looks like it has a green filter !! Anyone knows a fix!!


Unfortunately I can't upload the screenshot it says "bad request"

I experience the same on AOKP + Atom v1.4. Havent had much time to diagnose, but I suspect kernel issues. At one point, video playback was just fine

Average as in your part of the world actually.
My home connection uses about 40mins to download an update, so I'll always hold it till I get to my office, which is about 30 times faster.

It drains more battery because kernel was changed with atom. He said it a few pages before.

He changed to atom kernel 2-3 months ago and atom kernel is way more stable and battery efficient. Its not problem with that. He might have modified some things in kernel that is causing battery drain, it happened in previous build too.
I think he is modifying kernel for good performance and battery life. Performance is good in this build it never lagged since I updated to latest build but battery life is problem.
I even tried to reduce the brightness by init.d scripts but brightness resets to 5 when I unlock my phone.
Other wise everything is good in this is rom never experienced any issues.

Atom was brought back only for the last 3 builds because GA is too heavy to support Holo without issues.

Bernard doesn't modify the kernel source to my knowledge. If you would read the past 5 pages of this thread you will know the whole story.

Atom does not support low brightness. It aims to be as close to lineage as possible. Hence it is stable but is comparatively not as efficient as Holo. Holo meanwhile is stable but lags on very heavy roms like RR/GA.

    THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. ALL PEOPLE AROUND PAY HEED.
    In the past I have received about 12 PMs about Oreo support & I have usually said that once my exams are done I would try.

    It turns out that the device specific sources for Oreo were TAKEN DOWN BY LINEAGE as they were work in progress for Oreo when they went official.

    THEREFORE THERE WILL BE NO OREO FOR THIS PHONE.

    I will however keep improving N & maintaining it.
    RR has made a comeback. AICP as well. We are rebuilding this community rom by rom. But N is the latest version we can have.

    RIGHT NOW, my plan is to update the kernel to 4.4 & update our specific graphics drivers to the stock MM. This would mean long term support for this phone. Effectively keeping it secure till maybe 2020, or whenever Google stops releasing patches for N.

    THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT
    It should have ended differently.
    17
    Finally we have the new GA version based on NutOS. We should all thank @nutcasev1.5 whose hard work is now part of the rom.

    Rom improvements
    Better ril strength & reduced ril drain
    Better data speeds
    O3/Ofast code optimization ( performance )
    Better media recording (AAC) & microphone performance
    GPS latency enhancements
    Seccomp ( performance when playing media )
    Much Better Doze ( idle )
    Autobrightness sensitivity fix
    Better Memory management

    Kernel (Hololite)
    Updated to Linux 108 in reference to atom's 72 ( security )
    Uses latest 7.2 TC ( efficiency )
    GPU UV ( Better Thermals )
    Lots of under the hood efficiency & battery tweaks
    NTFS, EXFAT OTG support
    Wireguard support

    Please remember that this new build must be clean flashed, otherwise it will mess things up.

    Enjoy!

    PS: Z00D is built upon Lineage Kernel, not Hololite

    So basically this is resurrection remix with custom kernel? You removed things that are related to RR brand and claimed it new custom rom?
    Actually it's not a new custom ROM at all. The Android world is dancing around Oreo and we are stuck on Nougat. So this is an old ROM which I'm trying to keep alive with a lot of effort.

    I'm not even a software developer and I'm not claiming anything. As I said many times on the RR thread, I'm just a builder and I enjoy sharing what I do with the community.

    FYI, the Oreo branch of the RR repository is not getting any new commits. The idea of this project is to start using NutOS as a base but in a progresive way to avoid making the os become unstable.

    I hope my explanation was clear enough.

    Please, feel free to keep sending me private messages asking for help. I will be delighted to keep answering you.

    Best regards ;)
