My feedback about CR8.0 (weekly build
20200513-0206) with gapps pico, magisk 20.4 and ~75 user apps.
Using
TWRP 3.3.1-z3c-20191212-sar from
here
Xposed (RiRu 20.2 from magisk repo, EdXposed-YAHFA-v0.4.6.2.4529 from
here) works without problems (1st screenshot).
I'm not using internal data encryption because of compatibility problems between ROMs/versions, tired to restore backups each time I flash new ROM.
About 700MB of RAM free just after boot, with stock launcher.
Battery drain fast, but my battery is very old, no complain.
Pros:
+ reliably fast
+ everything works including GPS, BT, calls/data, hotspot and all my apps
+ no problems with audio routing and mic sensitivity
+ camera is ok but I use OpenCamera anyway
Cons/bugs:
- still no 5ghz wifi in Russia (I use my
magisk-patch to fix this, may also help with other regions, try if you meet this bug)
- ongoing call can be hanged accidentally by double-tap in any place of turned off display (e.g. by cheek) if tap-to-wake feature is active (here is my
workaround using Automate tool, works like a charm). I'm not sure if this bug belongs only to my phone or to any z3c, but it was like forever on any AOSP-based ROM, starting with Android 7.
- broken size for "Aeroplane mode" button/icon in power menu (see 2nd screenshot)
- ringtone sound become a bit quieter after half a second from start of incoming call (bug or feature?)
- overall loudspeakers volume is not loud enough
Features I'd like to have in this ROM:
1) choose clock position in statusbar (only at left in CR8.0)
2) brightness control by sliding in statusbar without opening it
3) mess up digits on the PIN unlock screen
4) unlock instantly when entering last digit without confirmation
5) long press power button to turn on/off torch while display turned off
6) restrict/disable power menu while phone locked
7) disable notification panel while phone locked
8) set minimal time between notifications on per app basis
9) wake by volume rocker buttons
10) increasing ringing volume
11) debugging over network (settings in devs options, absent in CR)
Most of this stuff available in LOS and AEX roms, but also all (except: 7,10,11, with bugs: 6) can be achieved in CR by using
GravityBox xposed module.
Thank you
@Myself5 for continue work with our lovely z3c.
