If it's easier, rename the magisk.apk file from GitHub to magisk.zip and flash that over ADB Sideload in recovery.tyring to root my phone, but cant extrakt boot.img from zip file. im using a macbook
I'm sorry to ask... is there a guide for flashing PE on this phone?
Idk how to unlock the bootloader / Install it without TWRP, which is not available for this phone.
Thanks Buddy, it was easy!If it's easier, rename the magisk.apk file from GitHub to magisk.zip and flash that over ADB Sideload in recovery.Don't forget to actually install the Magisk app too before installation.

I second all of this. To work around the ultra wide issue, I installed GCam and PX Camera (latest versions of both will do just fine).This rom is so great but I have a couple issues.
There's no native parallel apps support but I found that the app "shelter" creates a work profile and it works just as great. I highly recommend.
also, the always on display has to slightly correct when turned onto the lock screen, basically the AOD is off center, or the lock screen is. (small but is extremely noticeable when you start unlocking your phone a lot)
Also, launchers like shut off in the background? They take a second to load when you go back to the home screen except for the stock one. Driving me crazy!
Stock camera app can't use wide angle camera. (IN2017)
Hoping these all get improved with the soon android 12 update, have a good one, love your work!

If you are rooted with magisk you can use riru lsposed + xprivacylua magisk hide to get safteynet working (my OP8 is on the July patch due to no updates yet).
I dont need magisk and dont want it eitherIf you are rooted with magisk you can use riru lsposed + xprivacylua magisk hide to get safteynet working (my OP8 is on the July patch due to no updates yet).
The only major downside to this method is it will break google call screening. You can re enable it but 3-4$ donation is required to enable the manage hook assignments feature.

There is no maintainer currentlyIts broken because OP 8 didnt get the August security patch. No one knows why maintainer isn't updating it
That's something that just happened. I think there was a maintainer a couple of days ago
First of all, it has to be flashed through Fastboot because TWRP for Android 10 isn't really finished yet, devs have a hard time finding ways to comply with Android 10 new system, that's why there are a lot of those Fastboot ROMs.why does it have to be done that way thru adb? maybe twrp flashable to come because i doubt I'll try to install it that way. I'm excited by the prospect of the rom very much but I'll let a few guinea pigs go first and keep tabs on this. Is the lack of custom rom development because developers are waiting for android 11 or what? One of the main reasons I decided on OP8 was because i thought the forum would be very active and its been kinda disappointing thus far. Does anyone know when theres gonna be the official android 11 update not this open beta bullshit? also when an official twrp recovery?
Get extracted boot.img and put into phone, open magisk and patch boot.img. Magisk outputs a patched boot.img in downloads. Transfer to pc where ADB lives, reboot to bootloader and enter fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img. Should flash to phone and Magisk has given root.
