Did you build the CAF kernel or is this rom still using lineage os kernel?

New update to Candy :)

Changelog
Android N 7.1.2_r33
August 5 2017 Security patches
Add preliminary OTA support (might be still broken across 2-3 more builds, until I find a better way to implement it)
Add moto camera from albus a.k.a moto z2 play but it won't be able to write to external_sd :rolleyes:
Photographs taken from the camera will appear better post processing, increased the memory cap for encoding JPEGs.
Use cyanogen-dsp audio_effects configuration (Stock Music Equalizer won't work out of the box:/ )
Other changes can be found in Settings > About Phone > About Candy > Changelog
Also in Candy ROMs gerrit. https://gerrit.bbqdroid.org/q/status:merged

Some important points:

1. Clean flash is preferred although dirty flashing from the previous build should not be a problem; however please consider a clean flash before reporting bugs properly, the process of bug reporting has been highlighted in the latter part of the 1st post (OP). Jio's infrastructure has been a WIP, so don't necessarily blame the ROM if Jio isn't working, just try clean flashing the ROM again or even flash the modem file or the firmware available here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

2. To make sure Substratum themes and Gallery apps are working fine, before installing the ROM (especially when you are coming from other ROMs), follow these:
a. Do NOT take Titanium Backup of Substratum Themes or the Theme Engine app itself.
b. Delete .substratum folder in /sdcard , Android folder in /sdcard and /external_sd , .thumbnails folder in /sdcard/DCIM and /external_sd/DCIM (/sdcard refers to internal sd card)
c. Wipe Cache, ART Cache, Data and System. (/sdcard if possible)
d. Install ROM & GApps
e. Reboot
f. Make sure that the Substratum app and the themes are updated to the latest available version on Google Play.
g. Do NOT use the Dark/Automatic theme mode available under Settings>Display (Might conflict with Substratum themes and is buggy for sure.

3. Some people have complained about wake-up lag here and on AOSP-CAF. I've too experienced this occasionally . If you are using any 3rd party battery savers or Greenify, check their settings. You're free to use another kernel, but if things break; well then ....
Long story short, the wakeup lag is rare, I'd say.

4. To get MusicFX or Snapdragon+ Audio working , install the attached apk and/or move it to /system/priv-app/MusicFX Clear caches in twrp and then reboot. Audio still works fine on 3rd party music players and Snapdragon Music Player but equalizer may work or may not work in 3rd party apps as of now. (Check screenshots)

5. Themeing might be glitchy for OmniClock, it is being worked upon by the Candy team.

some wise man once said:
make backups, wipe caches and install ROM;
face bugs? clean flash ROM.
again face bugs? learn proper bug reporting and READ things.

No way to get round icons?
Yeah would like that too.

Otherwise excellent work!

From what I see in the screenshots, the ROM has the round icons.

Otherwise if it didn't, in the screenshot above that shows the app drawer, the Play Store, Play Music and Play Video (and others) would show just the icon you see inside the round icons [emoji6]
