​

Instructions if you coming from a different rom (including MIUI):
- Boot latest twrp from @vasishath ( fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img )
- Flash descendant
- Reboot to recovery
- Format Data (not wipe, not factory reset)
- Reboot to system

Instructions if you coming from a descendant version (aka update)
- Boot to TWRP recovery
- Flash latest descendant release
- Reboot to system

NOTE: Everytime you flash descendant on any case (clean flash/dirty flash) you must leave the option where it says "Inject TWRP after flashing" on.
The only case you should disable that option/toggle is when you want to flash magisk.

Descendant has been tested with both 12.0.x & 12.5.x firmware versions and runs without any issues

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.


Preloaded applications
Google Apps are included along Kiwi Browser and Metro.

Beware: the installer will automatically attempt installation into your inactive partition -- without warning.

1st install attempt: went seemingly well -- reboot -- stuck at blue 'd' logo (waited 15+ mins).
2nd install attempt: went seemingly well -- reboot -- stuck at blue 'd' logo (waited 15+ mins).

Notes: I also tried the usual wiping prior to flashing -- no success.

Conclusion: couldn't get it installed.
Installed from TWRP[1].

Can you plz clearify one last thing... I'm on nebressy twrp... As you said i hv to boot vasishath twrp... Do I also hv to select flash current recovery step (as mentioned in vasishath thread) before flashing descendant?

Thanks! Ended up installing fine.

Things I would change:

1. Remove the COVID bloatware.
2. Add advanced reboot options.
3. Add double-tap statusbar (or home button) to sleep.

Bugs:

1. Echo on VoIP calls. Unusable.
2. (USB) PTP and File transfer both not working on PC.

Besides that, ROM is fluid.


edit: uncertain about #2 -- could be my Windows. It does that.

PTP works fine on my end.
I will try to fix the VoIP Calls.

Installed as per the instructions given. Everything went fine. But for some reason I am not able to play prime video in HD 1080p. Widewine is L1 but still I wasn't able to play HD videos. And also the rom is pretty much aosp. Very few customization. Anyway thanx for this ROM.

this is very weird, i don't have a netflix/amazon account so i cant test that but you should since L1 is there be able to play hd content, try cleaning the apps data/cache and try again, especially with netflix this is needed sometimes.
Yes, descendant is focused on UI and on some needed features.
I appreciate that you like the rom and took the effort to give feedback, if you encounter a different bug please attach a log too so i can be a bit more helpful.

The download speed of the official website is only 400 kb/s for me, so I download the rom for more than one hour. Could you please give me another way to download this rom. Thank you.
