Hello, thank you so much, I'm interested in that many features :good:.

I'm After flashing LOS. Can you help me - how can I get flashable official firmware before installing your custom roms?

 

[russel5]

Flash all firmware 11.228 via newflasher, start up your phone. When you see first setup window you can turnoff your phone. Then flash custom recovery and see how to install in this OP

Hello, unfortunately i experienced bug after flashing aex, crDroid and after all them LOS in twrp. Previously I had downloaded stock, deleted all ta files create partition folder and then flashed stock firmware by newflasher (dedicated to my country). That was fine, also fastboot reboot bootloader and fastboot boot twrp was ok. I wiped indicated in instruction partitions/format them, and after booting to system. I was uneable to use it. I'll attach pictures. I could only one think. Use power button to see power options and navbar (in crproblem.jpg file you can see superimposed navbars... strange). (after i firstly saw problem i wiped them all and tried to reinstall ROM with same result new thing is not working LOS) Maybe I should choose other firmware from newflasher (maybe uniwersal, working in all country?). Now I'm forced to use stock, because of custom ROMs doesn't work.

While I was flashing stock, newflasher asked me "if I want to flash persist partition" I chose n

I really need help, (stock rom sucks and I don't want to use GApps because of privacy issues.)

 

[russel5]

if you have same problems on all custom roms than you do something wrong.
try flash stock rom and start your phone, make a first settings and other thing.

Thank you, I succefully installed taht wonderful ROM . I think it'd be good to mention in a main post that before you install zip yoru device must be fully configured (first configuration is enough, not needed to look in Google account) and have set pattern (it worked for me) without it did not work, you can see only black screen like in a previous post.

Maybe it took part, maybe not but after first configuration I copied twrp.img to SD card and booted twrp from fastboot "fastboot reboot bootloader" then "fastboot boot path_to_img_file/twrp.img" after boot I installed twrp by install ==> install ==> install image ==> twrp.img as a recovery only then I started with next steps

Thank you for supporting me with device problems and answering noob questions I'll test that ROM and give feedback if I have time.

There is no selinux support

 

[russel5]

This is TREBLE project, selinux only in permissive mode

Love, love, loving this ROM! The level of customization is awesome and it is such a beautiful display. I haven't been able to test every setting but I will continue to tinker with it. Thank you so much for the hard work!

P.S. - Sent you some juice money

 

[AlexKarimov]

One thing I noticed, I can no longer send mms without having mobile data on. I was always able to send mms without it on stock fw, cricket/att network but now it has to be on to send and receive pictures and other mms. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Thanks

 

[russel5]

First, big thanks for juice.
Today I will update rom, seems VoLTE has been fixed.
About your problem, don't know, mms is so old feature never used it. Check your apn or try reset your internet option.

 

[russel5]

Thread updated, see post #2

 

[AlexKarimov]

Still testing things but I used my phone for work today and really liked the responsiveness of this ROM. I use Google Maps a lot and there was always some lag on the stock fw but none that I could notice on the crDroid. This ROM boots quick and loads resources quick.

I flashed update after work and it seems more stable. I had one minor freeze on v1 and home screen would crash when I was trying to set it up but I also have nova launcher and that might have conflicted. V2 has had no crashes and after setting up the home screen, I just might ditch nova for a bit. Again, I love this ROM.

As far as the MMS goes, I can't find an option to download new internet settings like stock had. I reset apn but still can't send mms without data. It's not a deal breaker but now I'm super curious. Could it be related to the RIL? I honestly don't know, I'm just learning as I go but if that's the case is there anyway to restore the stock RIL? Like replacing the telephony-common.jar?

Thanks again for all your hard work

I'm interested to get the best sound on our device (I created another thread about that).

Here I just want to confirm that rom works with dolby digital plus from here, after freeze audiofx: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mm-p-dolby-digital-plus-arise-20181115-t3868192

Next is xperia keyboard, I flashed it successfully (but remember to mount system in twrp before install process). Note: After updating rom it is always disappears (it's mentioned in its thread)

Hello,

I want to report that "long press home" doesn't work when swipe-up gestures are enabled

I tried to upload video where I tried to use it but xda app treats mp4 file as invalid.

VoLTE don't work for me.
ROM is very fast and very customized but sometimes WhatsApp and others apps don't show correctly the notifications.
