Heyyo, just a heads up for anyone in this thread who uses MultiROM currently I've been experiencing issues with bootloops with Oreo as a secondary ROM and it seems to be affecting even my Nougat ROMs with sdcardfs disabled as well.

Be sure anything important is backed up before you try just in case you get the same grief.

More info about my unlucky experience is in a recent post in the MultiROM thread.

This ROM also didn't have an on screen keyboard when I tested it without OpenGapps so you'll definitely want any version of OpenGapps.

Clean install, tried 3 times, keyboard not showing up so i can not pass intial setup.

Open Gapps pico.
Heyyo, oh weird! I thought that was because I was missing OpenGapps all together heh. Yeah I guess the ROM should come with an AOSP on screen keyboard

OpenGapps Sock does come with Gboard so that would be a workaround for meow until Omni 8 has AOSP keyboard

A real race of developpers... we got three different roms of Oreo with almost the same bugs.. what about to work together to build one ?
Heyyo, err if you check the source codes on GitHub they are essentially doing that but they're also working on different ROM bases. :p

Same could be said about all custom ROM development that happened on Marshmallow back in the day and same with Nougat.

Heck, BS kernel being a prime example of working with a developer who works on the LeEco Le Pro 3 and we have developers here who port it and keep updated ports for the Le Max 2.

Same issue.. What a wasting time. And the screen was stuck at horizontal view..
Heyyo, it's growing pains bro. The earliest release of Omni 8 so issues were bound to arise. :p

The way to get past this bug is to install OpenGapps Stock or higher as they would come with GBoard.

It seems to be a ROM bug that it doesn't come with any AOSP keyboard. So my guess is andr68rus would either have to manually add in an AOSP keyboard or wait for Omni 8 to add it in.

Yeah but a ROM without stock keyboard seems ridiculous for me. No offence of course. Thx for the dev for his hard work and thank you for the reply.. Can you tell me plz if the orea rom does have better battery performance or not.. What was your SoT? Can you send an ss?

You are answer yourself on your question: we are work together to make our device work with oreo, so we have same bugs. :) We are just support different ROMs.

About fingerprint, it work in my last local build, that was rom-specific bug.
Also, i want to remind everyone that this rom is EXPEREMENTAL and only for TESTING now, it cant be daily driver and have a lot of bugs.
