This is Candy 11 for the Google Pixel 4a device. Built straight from source with commits from a variety of different sources/ROMS. We wanted to give the users a fast, fun, fully customisable ROM, with regular updates and security patches.

We do this as a hobby, and we happily share with with the custom ROM community, for free. We use what we share on our own devices, most as Daily Drivers, so you can be confident that problems will be promptly addressed.

Thanks for your support and camaraderie. Special thanks to GZOSP (RIP Martin), LineageOS, OmniROM, AOSiP, DU and the innumerable rest who make their source open. We can't do all of this on our own!

Stay tuned for more Candy!

* See Post #2 for Downloads

Post #3 for FAQ/Known issues

Make sure you are on the latest stable firmware available here

1. If you're coming from another ROM:

  • Boot into stock bootloader. (Ensure you have the latest compatible bootloader and kernel on both slots)
  • Wipe data with
    Code:
    fastboot -w
  • Reboot to recovery
  • Adb sideload the ROM zip (links are in 2nd post). GAPPS ARE INCLUDED.
  • Reboot


2. If you're updating the ROM, there are a few ways to do this. Using the included Candy Updater, using TWRP recovery, or through ADB sideload (not detailed here).

UPDATER METHOD
  • Go to Settings > System > Candy Updater
  • Select from OTA or local update file.
  • Flash ROM
  • IMPORTANT: If you want root, and have it already, use Magisk to patch the inactive slot before rebooting.
  • Reboot
  • Enjoy

RECOVERY METHOD
  • Reboot to recovery
  • ADB Sideload the ROM zip file
  • Reboot
  • Enjoy


NOTE:
  • If you have issues with Settings or Play Services force-closes you need to clean flash.
  • Please give first boot several minutes.
  • New additions and fixes being added constantly
  • If you have any other issue, please let us know in proper bug reporting fashion as indicated below.

4SHqCq8.png

  • Do NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed other third-party mods.
  • Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
  • If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
  • If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved (and you won't be trolled or ignored XD ). Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

Code:
What is your--
ROM version and build date
Gapps version (if applicable)

Did you--
wipe:
restore a backup:
reboot after having the issue:

Are you using--
a non-stock kernel:
a battery manager app:
other modifications:

Provide any additional information (observations/frequency of problem/last version it worked on/etc) as needed.
Also please let us know how to reproduce the particular issue.

Please, DO NOT complain about problems and offer nothing to help fix it. We reserve the right to ignore you for not following instructions.

Great rom. One bug I noticed is that in settings, battery, if you enable show battery percentage, it still doesn't show it. Screen call doesn't work either but most roms don't and I can live without it. Edit: screen call does work after updating apps.

I think that is for charging only. We will have battery options where that will be handled...

Here is the patched boot file if you need root. Boot.img taken by dumping the payload.bin file. Hope the dev doesn't mind me doing that? If so, I will gladly take it down. Just trying to help. Thank you.


In bootloader

fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot candy_magisk.img

Reboot and your rooted.

Thanks. I'm not sure why you would erase boot. I have never done that...

    Sorry folks, my daughter now has my P4a, running stock AOSP. There have been a lot of life events for me lately: new job, family issues, health issues... so I have not touched Android 12 this cycle. I may do something when Android 13 drops, but it depends on free time and what's going on.

    I wish you all well and hope you and your families are staying safe and healthy!
