After trying to install this 6 or 7 times on two occasions, failing all times , I realized that I had to be doing something wrong.

I looked into how the install would get to 47% and stop, and it would seem like it failed.

Well doing more research,the 47% that recovery reports is actually 100% according to google/android.

I wish I would have known this, because each time I thought it failed .


Hopefully someone will get some use out of this information. I look forward to trying this ROM soon .

This is universal for Google/Lineage builtin recoveries. But it is not at 47% when installation is finished. Rather, after reaching 47%, install continues for a few minutes. The good indication that the process is finished is when step 2 appears at the bottom of the screen + 4-5 seconds, when 'reboot interface' (at the top of the screen) appears. Then you are done.

Another user was saying he couldn't install on top of Crdroid. So, flash OOS11 on both slots (with TWRP) and then Jaguar with builtin recovery.

I tried but nothing.
I tried install original firmware oxygen os 11 then unlock bootloader install twrp (tried other recovery no only twrp) then install jaguarrom and still nothing . I do factory reset restart and I'm back in current rom . Only one rom what i know install is evolutionx 13 maybe because this rom is in OTA format or I don't know. 🤬😂

You need to flash OOS 11 twice (with reboot in between).

I can no longer save screenshots with the latest releast. I can take them, and they show up, but they aren't saved to disk. Or.. seemingly. If I click edit I can edit the file with my choice of editor, but that has no effect

    I think it is trying to shift icons to prevent burnins, but due to various margins and camera cutout or if you have too many icons, it just doesn't look good.

    See important discussion about Kernel Updates and Security: here

    Jaguar is available on locked bootloader with working root (Magisk)

    SAFETY NET IS SUCCESSFULLY PASSED WITH MAGISK 24.3 and up. See instructions here

    You can actually use alarm when the phone is shut down. It would boot 2 minutes prior to scheduled time and trigger the alarm on time

    This is official Jaguar Rom.

    I have been building Android roms since 2012 for various devices including multiple Sonys, Lenovo Zuk, Oneplus 3, Oneplus 5 and Oneplus 6. You can check my Oneplus 6 or     Oneplus 6T threads and browse my profile.

    Jaguar rom is focused on hardening of AndroidOS and kernel. As such, the rom has hardened bionic, art, framework and tightened security.

    1 Rom control with custom Power options, Statusbar, Buttons, Navbar, Quicksettings, Lockscreen, Notifications, Gestures, Themes etc...

    2. Heavily modified Art, Bionic System/Vold and System/Security

    3. Telephony response to Type Zero sms ('silently acknowledged') disabled

    4. Toggle to disable Captive Portal logging.

    5. Speakerphone proximity sensor toggle - could be set to automatically switch to speaker when not at the ear

    6. IMEI and phone numbers hidden in About menu

    7. Built-in encrypted DNS providers, such as: Cloudflare (US); LibreDns (Germany); AdguardDns (Cyprus); and PowerDns (Netherlands)

    8. Wakelock and Alarmblocker

    9. Fully working Call recording with the button visible in Dialer

    10. A choice between the latest Bromite and Vanadium webview

    11. Deskclock app modified to work with PowerOn alarm. The app will boot the phone 2 minutes before scheduled time to trigger the alarm on time

    12. Default Dark mode

    13. All regular customizations plus. You tell me which feature is missing.

    Install instructions

    If this is your first time coming from stock, you need to have stock Android 11 in both slots. So, either update stock OTA to populate the second slot or flash stock rom with TWRP. Do not use Lineage's 'transfer' script, as this might corrupt your persist partition. In addition, that script transfers outdated files.

    1. Install Jaguar recovery from (from post #3) via fastboot: reboot in fastboot and execute the following commands on your connected PC terminal:

    Code:
    fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
    fastboot flash recovery_b recovery.img

    Or use TWRP

    2. Download the rom to your PC. Boot the phone into recovery, set recovery for sideloading, then type on your PC terminal (which should be opened in the same directory where you had downloaded the rom):

    Code:
    adb sideload 'name of the rom'

    3. Factory reset and reboot. You are done. If you want root, just install Magisk manager (apk) from here as a normal app. Don't flash it.

    PICO Gapps has been tested successfully with this rom

    Download rom from post #3

    All subsequent release will be in post #3.

    The rom could be used on locked bootloader with ROOT (donate feature) with or without Gapps.

    The benefits of LOCKED BOOTLOADER combined with WORKING AVB-2 protection are:

    You get your DRM L1 back (one full stock update required). Many banking applications (tested several) will work even if Magisk is not hidden: you simply get a warning, your device is rooted, but can click 'don't show again' and proceed to login.

    Nobody and nothing can modify Kernel, Recovery and Virtual Partitions without triggering a red screen of death with the message 'your device is corrupted and cannot boot'.

    At that point, the only option is to unlock bootloader. But, if a user had previously disabled OEM unlock in Developer settings, then unlocking becomes unavailable, and so does flashing via fastboot. In other words, if your phone gets into the hands of an adversary, their only option is to use MSM tool to make the phone work again, but no access to your data or any other partition.

    April 11 New release V-19, previous one removed. Should fix graphic glitch related to recovery.

    Actually, you can use any recovery you want: TWRP/Lineage or whatever. Just keep in mind that if you don't have OOS-11 firmware in both slots, you will always get problems. MSM flash takes care of one slot only. So, you need OOS-11 in the other slot either by flashing via recovery (after initial reboot) or updating OTA.

    Also, you don't need MSM, if you can't boot into recovery. You simply boot in fastboot and flash whatever recovery you want.

    This release fixes Safetynet issues. Confirmed by a Oneplus 8 user: here

    1. April security patches
    2. Google r54
    3. Switched to AOSP webview 100.x

    This one is built from scratch in a separate environment from other devices, which means everything should be working, i.e., no conflicts with other devices, which accounted for some features disappearing

    Could be flashed dirty on top of the previous release.

    Dev should really consider dropping support for 8 pro. Clearly just because his device doesn't have the issue he thinks everyone's device should be the same 😂.
    Two people have mentioned the same issues and instead of fixing it he's showing screenshots. DFKM.

    Lol take it easy man, he's just sharing a ROM, theres no obligation here.

    As frustrating as it can be to not have working features it's still an "as is" ROM, no need for hostilities.

    I haven't personally installed this ROM so no i can't comment on features missing or not but i can on how to address them, there are ways and means to get a point across without sounding deserving of something you aren't.

    If you've clean installed and there are missing features then just mention that, if it gets fixed then great if not then that's just the way it is, no ones under any obligation here, speaking down to dev's who've put the hours / days / weeks in to share something for FREE is what makes people leave and not share their work, XDA wouldn't be a very good place to be if dev's didn't do what they do and even worse if they didn't have the support of people who flash their work, please bare that in mind.

    A very good morning to you all! Some posts have dissipated left and right but I hope we didn't cause too much (collateral) damage. I hope y'all got it out of your system and feel better. Now, let's move on and stick to a more civil way of communicating. With mutual respect and all that.

    About donation features: YES, IT'S ALLOWED! Sometimes. Shocker, I know. The moderation team may be tasked with – among many many many other things 😬 – shutting down projects that have only the goal of making money but this does not mean that donation features are forbidden. We expect that core features and most important functionality of any release remains free. We also understand that developing software is hard work which should be rewarded. Our goal is to find a balance and we do this together, as a community. To achieve this we often work with developers to find the best outcome for everyone.
    Please do not throw around accusations in someone's thread and never threaten another member with sanctions. That's just not okay. Even mods will avoid this. It may come as a surprise to you but we're not the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 designed to terminate your threads, posts and accounts followed by a taunting “Hasta la vista, baby”. We're human beings with elevated forum rights and a lot of XDA experience that interact with all its members with the goal of keeping this kickass community a pleasant experience for all.

    Thank you for your time and I sincerely hope we can show more kindness to one another. [cheesy]“Sometimes it takes only one act of kindness and caring to change a person’s life.” – Jackie Chan[/cheesy] If you still feel the need to discuss further, please feel free to drop me a PM. And if really needed, "I'll be back" ;)

    Kind regards and stay safe!
