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

Ugly? Why?

 

[baggino]

perhaps he said it in an ironic sense, but the percentage of the battery is missing, a serious lack ...

 

[Laptapper]

Any known bugs with this build, guys? FOD working good?

Want to say thanks to the Dev team, great work!

This rom is brilliant, I installed it yesterday and haven't encountered any bugs so far. I'm not using magisk so can't comment on that. The FOD works fast with no issues for me and the camera, I think, is URNYX gcam.

Keep up the outstanding work!
