Awesome rom, had been used for two days.

Build: descendant-X-OFFICIAL-ginkgo-20200806.zip
My device is Redmi Note 8T EEA

Cons:
1. No inbuild camera. However, any gcam should work, I use TrGcam 7.1, any essential function works.

2. Recordie app causes device crashed and restart. I will give the dmesg if it just occurred to me. All permission has been given.

3. Very minimum customization, almost none. I can't even swap button position.

4. NFC doesn't work properly. The switch is there, it can read NFC cards, but can't receive or send files.

5. While phonegraph is open source, it has locked functionalities as in app purchase.

6. Some fonts are quite tiny compare to normal, like quick tiles titles' font, fortunately I like to hide qs titles.

7. For those looking for call recording, no it isn't there.

Now the goods:
1. Guardia is really, really nice addition to the rom, salute to that.

2. Battery life is awesome. I'm just a casual daily user with occasional photo taker, going around with gps, ordering taxi, foods with gps, little internet browsing, no games at all. Battery stands 1 day with those all high activities. Deep sleep works.

3. All major function works. GPS is quickly locked with all GLONASS, Baidou, etc. Camera works with gcam. Fingerprint works. Wifi, Bluetooth, hotspot, works so far. Phone call doesn't have any problems. Can't tell about volte. FM radio works, infra red works.

4. It has UI that quite distinguish from other aosp. Like the quick tiles, sound level adjuster, the notification, all is good looking, I'm very pleased with it.

What I would like to see for the next build:
1. Recordie is either fixed, to be replaced with something else that work, or gone.

2. Same applies to phonegraph. I'd rather install my own music player.

3. Please start adding some customization.

Overall, it's a very good rom, I'm looking forward for the next build.
