Code:
YOU are doing modifications to your device.
YOU are responsible for what you do.
We are not responsible for any damages, data loss or any type of unexpected,
bad or damaging results! If you have **SERIOUS** problems with this software,
please contact the developers or maintainers. We are not liable for anything
bad that happens to your device.
As long as you are responsible, some companies such as OnePlus
WILL HONOR IT. Some people occasionally describe them as heroes.
Don't be stupid and bet on that though, please be responsible for what you do.
We prohibit you from overclocking to 1337 GHz thinking, that an OEM would
replace your glorious space heater etc.
We recommend you to take the advice above regardless.halogenOS Checklist
Although no data should be lost or damaged by the flashing process,
we advise you to follow the following steps if you are coming from another rom:
- Please take a full nandroid backup!
- Please copy your back up to an external device.
- Backing up your Internal Storage is also recommended.
- When completed, please clean flash the build!
Although you usually can dirty flash halogenOS over other ROMs, considering the other
ROM has the same Android version, it is not guaranteed. In case of serious
crashes please do a clean flash.
You can dirty flash halogenOS 7 (Nougat) over halogenOS 6 (Marshmallow)
without any problems. Although we can't promise that it will work for you,
we can tell you that this has been tested. In fact, @xdvs23 did a dirty flash of
XOS 7 over XOS 6 and has no problems.
If you get app crashes after dirty flashing over XOS 6 or another ROM, please just
clear the app data of those apps, and it should work fine then.
Common stuff
The ROM is super stable as of now and we'll maintain a clean and proper ROM.
Known issues are going to be fixed as soon as possible. We don't have infinite time.
Highlights (some are OP3-only):
- No QS Bug!!!
- OTA
- Reworked Lockscreen Visualizer
- New implementation of button backlight
- Modern Services -> Google Assistant etc.
- Substratum
- Full media support (FFMPEG, video codecs, ...)
- Great Audio quality, no distortions, no crap
- Optimized many portions of the system including surfaceflinger, inputflinger, System Server, and more
- Super fast boot
- Superuser-capable
- Great battery life
- Soundmod support (not all soundmods work on Nougat, it's not our fault)
- addon.d support (backups your gapps etc. when flashing new build - don't wipe system before flashing!)
- init.d support
- BusyBox
- Disabled Access Time for all partitions (We don't need access time. When access time is enabled, it will store the exact date of the access when a file is accessed, what just wastes write cycles (in theory) and has impact in I/O performance.)
- Super smooth
- Signature Spoofing toggle (Support for MicroG)
- Support for trusted third-party WebViews like Chrome
- Long press on home for assist toggle
- Security Patches in kernel
- KCal support
- Kernel optimizations
- OpenGapps (Mini/Micro/Nano recommended) and Banks GApps support
- Offline Gestures support (super fast recoginition)
- Alert Slider
- Full KeyHandler & KeyDisabler support
- Dexpreopt for faster (first) boot time and less space consumption on data partition
- Upgrade & Boot the ROM in just 5 minutes - no more endless waiting for flashing a new build
- Very high compatibility with other ROMs
- Less Customization
How to update the ROM:
- Download the latest zip
- Reboot into TWRP (Please use official TWRP)
- Do not wipe anything
- Flash the ROM
- Reboot
You don't need to wipe Cache/Dalvik.
You don't need to flash gapps again. There is some magic going on which keeps your GApps. Just make sure that you don't wipe system before flashing.
You don't need more than 5 minutes.
How to install the ROM for the first time:
- Download the latest zip
- Reboot into TWRP (Please use official TWRP)
- Wipe system, data and cache (If you want to try a dirty flash, dont wipe anything)
- Flash the ROM
- Flash gapps if you want
- Reboot
