Introduction

Tested on e8d.
My e8d( m8sw) no signal , phone app broken. His device code only support set_ro_build_prop(source, "fingerprint", "htc/htccn_chs_cu/htc_mecdug:5.0.2/LRX22G/506306.3:user/release-keys"), but mine is 6.0.
Clearly, this build has so many bugs, that battery runs out quickly with very very hot temperature.
It will broke device patitations, that i can't boot into recovery, also flashed his e8's twrp 3.4 recovery. That means, once flashed this rom, then can't boot into recovery. I used fastboot to earse boot&recovery patitation ,reflashed other rom's boot.img&official twrp 3.3 ,then can enter recovery and flashed other roms.
And i think the builder hasn't checked device code yet. It told
Supported models:Single SIM : htc_mecwhl,htc_mectl,htc_mecul,htc_mecul_emea
Dual SIM : htc_mecdug,htc_mecdugl,htc_mecdwg,htc_mecdwgl .But in his github device codes, e8 only support htc_mecul (htc_asia_tw :6.0.1 ) e8d only support htc_mecdug ( htccn_chs_cu :5.0.2 ).
don't waste you time and run risk to damage your device.

You are totally wrong bro,

set_ro_build_prop(source, "fingerprint", "htc/htccn_chs_cu/htc_mecdug:5.0.2/LRX22G/506306.3:user/release-keys

That was just setting your properties, not the ROM supporting models, actually it did support most of the single and dual sim variant, make sure you did everything right and have the correct firmware.

don't waste you time and run risk to damage your device.

This is very rude, why don't you make your own ROM?

And i think the builder hasn't checked device code yet

This is completely wrong lol, that's init scripts not the actual supporting device models.

I just tell what i found, no lie. We trusted you, flashed your ROM,then got such result.
1. Yeah, which devices can be supported should be defined in BoardConfig.mk, not init_e8.cpp. But without right properties, then can't recognize phone's baseband .I haven't tested your lineage 17.1, but guess the same, no signal phone stopping, someone already reported.
2. So hot and can't boot into recovery once flashed ROM, should be kernel's problem. I uses fastboot to earse recovery partition & reflashed other boot.img and twrp 3.3 ,then can boot into recovery again. I also can't flash RUU in previous status.
3. It's so hard to build rom for e8 now, we all knew that.But errors are there, clearly not have been fully check codes & tested on devices, may damage device.

So why we should trust you? Maybe it can runs well in some devices , but you should not tell it can support devices that you haven't tested yet.
Once supported , it should be working smoothly & no big errors , but not like your builds.

I have this on 17.1 too:
After installation it works fine. Performance is ok.
I dont know is this related to lockscreen or playback. Maybe something else. But this example works for me, if i play a song and lock/unlock phone a few times in a row. After unlocking phone is freezed for 2 sec, sometimes more. Lock/unlock/ freezed again.
And 2 things i notice. Nfc option in gray. So i cant even on/off (dual sim).
And there are no performance settings. Just extreme power saving.
Maybe its just me.
Sorry for my English btw. And thanks for your work.

And i clean installed and record for better understanding what im talking about. 3 times lock/unlock with no problem. Then go to music and this is what happening. Its not everytime like this. But something causing this lag.

I can't ensure that performance is good enough on such an old device, but regarding NFC issues,
can you give me your detail information of your variant? like CID or original model and it would be
nicer to have a stock rom backup or RUU of your variant, thanks!
