i use caf with gapps included. does it have a problem with live caption? i mean you will really notice the delay from audio to what you read

i also notice issues with splitscreen where the primary screen side, the one that does not close, freeze then system ui will not respond after that.

I can't connect to whatsapp web to an error '"can't start camera", anyone having the same issue?

You need to edit build.prop from /vendor/build.prop and erase "com.whatsapp" from forcehal1 or something like that.

Be careful editing that file, might lead to boot loop if done wrongly

Mobile Data not working

Clean flashed this wonderful rom on my willow this morning, mobile data is not working, no "LTE" (or whatever) in status bar, even if it's there in Quick toggles bar. Any idea on how to fix? I need it quickly for work reasons or I would go back to PE :(

Edit: Neither Hotspot working

Edit 2: Solved. There was no APN set, so I had to set it up manually.

for best and efficient battery consumption, use non gapps version. or if youre into gapps and wants to save battery, then disable assistant, change to any wallpaper other than live wallpaper, disable google page on pixel launcher

How do I deactivate the assistant, how do I deactivate the goolge page in the launcher, if you could help me because I can't find how to do it, I've been using the rom for several days but the battery consumption is a lot

just disable google app, you dont want unused apps to run at background as it drains your battery, also waste your ram and bandwidth

    What's CAF?
    CAF stands for Code Aurora Forum. It's a fork of AOSP which is well optimized for Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to plain AOSP. In addition to the opensource CAF android base, these builds also use Qualcomm's proprietary Android 11 Board Support Package (BSP) for Snapdragon 665, to ensure maximum compatibility and functionality with Android 11. It can also be called an engineered ROM, as it's built from pure CAF sources and BSP in the same way OEMs do.

    FAQs
    Q: Is MiuiCamera included?
    A: No, the MiuiCamera from android 10 doesn't work in 11, so a fresh port from Mi A3 is required whenever android 11 is released for it.

    Q: What's the 4 or 5 number beside the wifi icon?
    A: It's a CAF feature which shows the 802.11 generation number. 4 stands for 802.11n, 5 stands for AC, 6 for AX and so on.

    Q: Does the main rear camera have yellow tint? This bug was there in AOSP 11.
    A: No, it has been fixed.

    Q: How to get weather in at a glance widget? It just shows me the date
    A: There's a quite simple trick for this, just add another instance of at a glance widget manually onto another home screen. The one on the main home screen gets refreshed automatically!

    Q: This ROM is laggy! Expected more since its CAF.
    A: Most importantly, let the ROM settle after its booted, janks will eventually disappear. In my testing I've faced no lags at all except in the first 10 mins after booting. Do keep in mind that this is an initial A11 release, both from CAF and my side. The kernel used (QSv2) is also in its early stages as it's entirely rebased on android 11 kernel source.

    Q: Next update when? ETA PL0X
    A: Updates will be dropped as soon as CAF releases a new android 11 tag for our chipset (trinket) or when there's a new security patch available. Please do not spam XDA or telegram for ETAs.

    Hey guys, these days I'm busy with personal life and also development on Poco X3 (new device which i purchased around 2 months ago). And on top of that, I'm no longer getting snapdragon 665 BSPs from my sources anymore. Hence I'll be discontinuing this ROM. Thanks to everyone who supported me in this project and tested my builds. Incase someone's still on this ROM, I'll suggest you to move to Paranoid Android Ruby, it's also based on CAF and it's quite stable.

    Cheers.

    You ask and nobody says anything, this rom looks like it's dead. And there is still much to correct
    Rom not dead, but xda thread dead. You can ask your questions in Telegram group.
