+1 for some more love what do you have in mind?

Update:

- Small screen/text flickering in apps (During scrolling)
- NFC (Dead)
- Camera (flash outsync)
- Wifi OK
- Bluetooth OK
- GAPPS OK
- Sound (Internal + Speakers + Plug) OK

So far

Something like that in the Attachment but My Axon 7 finally died so i can't continue Sorry Folks...
Just place it in /vendor/overlays (You may replace it with the right name with the Framework Overlay).

This is fantastic, is this a list of what currently doesn't work I assume?

Overlay is no plus. Instead the phone heats up and burns the battery.

But I started from scratch with some dead ends. Apparently “[GUIDE][TREBLE][PIE][9.0] Axon 7 path to HavocOS 2.0“ still works. Instead of vendor update proposed use the one from raysteff66 guide (no change of recovery necessary any more). Fingerprint after restart not working. Using app which is set to use FP after one time login with pw => then it works. Video glitches (blank zones) for some apps. In my installation also some paths seem corrupted but I guess the reason is that I also tried a different vendor update.

P.S.: I use GSI PHH versions without magisk. But I assume the behavior is similar with other versions.

P.P.S: Still not compatible with magisk. Not booting!
