Descendant is a customised Android ROM that focuses on enhancing UX and UI
over stock Android along useful features.

Downloads
Head to the download page.

Sources
Githubhttps://github.com/Descendant-Devices


Same as any ROM.
Do the necessary wipes and flash the ROM.
No wipes are needed between updates from Descendant itself, unless specified.

If you're having problem with SafetyNet, please, install Magisk along the following modules:
SafetyPatcher
Magisk Hide Props.

But please, mind, we won't support any issue arising from Magisk nor relative modules.


Listing all the additions would be a huge wall of text, that you wouldn't even read.
So, head over the Telegram group and feel free to lurk or check the screenshots.

Preloaded applications
Google Apps are included along Kiwi Browser, Lawnchair, Phonograph and Recordie.


Having a bug or not booting for whatever reason?
Look for "How to report bugs" on this post.
Bug reports without logs will be ignored.

1. Lawnchair is sometimes forced close while changing between dark and light theme. It also makes SystemUI forced close too. It leaves me a blank screen.
2. Once sim 2 is disabled, i can no longer enable it again.
These are some issues i have faced till now. Really recommend this ROM for daily use. Thanks for your work!

Hello, I love this ROM; I've tried GSI Image on my mi8 (dipper) but there are some bugs (for example no audio for incoming call). Do you know somebody that can compile this ROM for dipper?
Thanks in advance.
