ROM in early development stage, released just for pie preview. needs testing

 

[MoistPicklez]

Awesome! Thanks for this!
Edit: Is it recommended to be on August or September build?

 

[stompysan]

Sweet! Want to give this a shot, but I am a bit unsure how to flash gapps with it. I searched the other build's forum, and couldn't see on it either. Do I flash build, boot, then flash gapps, like on other A/B devices? Or do I just flash gapps at ROM installation?

 

[Geezerooo]

Is TWRP built in?

Does this use an EAS kernel?

 

[stompysan]

So I attempted to flash, but I am getting the error stating I am using an incorrect version gapps. States I am running 8.1, not 9. Anyone else have any ideas?

EDIT: I was able to modify the installer sh to force it to install, but every copy of gapps prompts and states there is not enough space in the system partition.

Have you tried installing the smallest gapps package? I had this same issue on another device.

Gapps screws up sometimes. Try remounting system and vendor while in twrp, reboot recovery then try flashing gapps again. I bet it works.

How are you guys getting touch to work in twrp...are you using the augest build to start?

I just flash the hyp.mbn from August before booting to recovery, then after installing whatever, go back to bootloader and flash the sept hyp.mbn.. just that file is all u need. Just be sure to reflash the current hyp file or any build based on sept wont work and vice versa.

flashed the 0930 build, bluetooth is broken.
Display setting - Full screen apps is in there, but i open or close the option, it seems doesn't work.. (i test it in my games
The screen became rounded corners, can this be a option for users? or it can be off by default?
some settings seems are not ready for pie, such as privacy guard, expanded desktop...

What gapps are you guys using? I can only get MindTheGapps to actually flash with the rom and everything is broken with them. Opengapps doesnt seem to work at all for me. I keep getting error 139...

Where do you get the boot img from for this?

I already removed rounded corners in the upcoming build. Also it's stated in second post that it's early development stage, so don't expect everything to work properly. It's still experimental and we don't even have official lineage sources for mata. So thanks to @KuranKaname for his work
That full screen apps feature is lineage stuff. I already did what I could to add it on mata. From the comments on gerrit we can read:

I don't have an exact example app in mind but >=O apps can still manually limit maxAspectRatio to lower values like 1.86 or 2.1 (which could be obsolete for future long long screens). (It is not you are >= O so you are good with long screens)

i) <O apps that previously needed the max aspect ratio setting to 2.1 to work in full screen. eg https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.telltalegames.batman200
ii) <O apps that were worked in full screen when max aspect was set to 0. eg https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dotemu.rtype

Thanks.

Try gapps on adjacent slot then reboot is what worked for me.
