Hey dude, I'm currently using the a teams custom ROM From here.
I've used all three attached, only issues I found in them are as followed
Android 12 rom's Bluetooth will connect but won't send audio, to fix this go to settings/phh settings/misc/ there you'll find a bunch of options, Im using Android 11 rn so I can't tell u which one needs to be enabled ATM
Android 11 one doesn't have this issue, and all three won't allow lock screen or fingerprint, I couldn't find a fix for this)

Thanks for the reply.
I'm a little confused with the aio toolkit requirement.
1. Is the aio toolkit is to help install TWRP and Magisk?
2. Where is the download link to aio toolkit?
3. How do you install the aio toolkit?
I couldn’t tell you on that, I never played around with it. Over on that thread you get 3 downloads, 2 android 12 gsm, and 1 android 11 gsm.

They all come with magisk pre installed, all you need is TWRP.

Ok. That's what I have in mind too. Normally you need to unlock bootloader and then install TWRP before you can flash the custom rom.
I thought the aio toolkit include the TWRP and Magisk. So you install it then boot to the stock recovery to flash the rom.
Yeah. Theres another post here for getting just twrp and magisk. I'm to lazy to quote it lol, but that's how I got it originally, I then flashed these ROM's without a issue.
I finally installed the custom GSI roms. There is one major issue is that the phone don't ring for incoming calls. After 5 rings, it goes to the voicemail. I can make calls.
Did you have this problem? Which rom are you using?
I installed TWRP using AIO Toolkit. Not sure how you install your TWRP.
I wonder if the modified boot.img from Magisk might be the cause to the phone ring issue since my stock ROM is updated to Android 11 2023 February. The developer created the custom GSI roms and TWRP and Pre-patched using an older Android 11 in May 2022.

hi.
i have not noticed that at all. but i dont do calls lol.
i installed twrp myself, and am using the roms. would you mind explaining how you used AIOToolkit?
1. AiO Toolkit
Sure. In case you don't have a copy of the full AIO Toolkit that includes unbrick roms and rooted stuff. I upload a lite of the AIO Toolkit that includes only the rooted stuff, not full rom. It's only 360MB.
Public - Google Drive
You will have to use Linux in order. I recommend Ubabutu v22 instead v23. I couldn't get it work in Windows.
Follow the direction in the readdme.md to install MTKClient and requirements: https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
After completing the installation, make sure you enable USB debugging and run `adb devices` and confirm to enable "Allow to use usb debugging" in the phone.
Run the AIO Toolkit CLI script: Main_Menu.sh. The simplest way to run this Main_Menu.sh is open the File Manager and right click on it and select Run. It will give you instruction what to do after you select the menu choice.
In the main meanu, select the bootloader menu item for unlocking the bootloader and select recovery menu item installing TWRP and Magisk.
If it ask to enter brom mode, just power off the phone, hold the volume up and down buttons for 2 seconds and connect the USB cable to PC. It should automatically recognize and do it stuff.
2. Bluetooth Fix
Also there is a fix for bluetooth by enabling this settings in any of the custom rom you use.
Go Settings > Phh Settings > Misc Features. Under Other section, check "Force disable A2DP Offline"
3. Phone call ring
Can you do a quick call test for me if you don't mind? Just have someone call your Dream 5G phone. If it rings, it means it works. If it works, can you list baseband version and custom rom you are using?
I really wanted to use Android 12 if I can fix the phone call ringg issue.
4. TWRP v3.7 update?
What version of TWRP are you using? is 3.6.x? Have you upgrade to v3.7x that is fully Android 12 compatiable?
I was going to do the manual process but there was only threads about it and not sure how relaible. So I use the AIO Toolkit.
However if you able to upgrade to v3.7, please share the steps.
Let me know if you need to help.
