Thank you for trying to assist.

@furblefox Hey there, i apologize for the delay XDA doesnt always notify me.

Yes the reason for flashing twrp after the ROM is the rom includes no recovery, so if you forget this step your ultimately stuck in a loop because there is no recovery so it hangs on the splash. I included this into my flash instructions.

there will soon be a fastboot img for these cases to recover, but if you have root you can also just flash twrp zip in smartpack to get recovery back

If any issues feel free to join our support group, if your still stuck let me know.

All roms have it on NB1 because it has no recovery, The step of flashing twrp again is important due to that fact.

Hi
I have flashed this ROM & I really like it so far. The only issue I see is the RAM usage. Is there any way to reduce RAM usage?
I flashed this ROM, then TWRP, then MAGISK patched boot image. Thanks in advance devs!

Dont worry to much about the ram usage, the memory management will take over and clean whats needed, we use slmk so the system will use more ram if available and clean it when needed

Actually, anything but.

I released first A12 alpha ancient version in our testing group today. All development has shifted to A12 ;) it will come soon, stay tuned, or feel free to join us on telegram through our testing versions.

I will publish on xda once we get BT fixed

@emufan4568 is also releasing a massive ddv update for our vendor, probably one of the biggest updates we seen to NB1 by far, his been working alot on A12 trees.

So no further updates to A11 as the changes are to minor to justify flashing

Wow, hearing from you is beyond a sign to hope.
I don't join to telegram group.
If you ask me, if and only if camera audio and picture quality gets fixed, this is the best thing has ever happened to my phone since 2018.
Patiently waiting.

I'm working on a new update that updates the entire common blob stack from Android 10 DDV to the new Android 11 update for 7.2. The fact that the update was released so late is beneficial for us because it means that the blobs have a quite recent CAF tag (it's only 3 weeks old by this point). All the configs/dependencies and libs will be updated as well so this is a pretty major upgrade. For it to work I also built custom display/media/audio HALs specifically for our device which are based on pure CAF, and more specifically on AOSPA (https://github.com/AOSPA/android_hardware_qcom_display/tree/ruby-8998) because the new blobs are so up-to-date that we can't use the older LOS HALs.

A12 currently has issues with bluetooth, however I have suspicions as to what the fix might be. Aside from that A12 is very promising so far.

About camera quality, @rashazad, I haven't had any issues with the latest release of AncientOS 11 though. The camera takes pictures fine and I have been using GCAM just fine for the past few days during my trip abroad to take pictures of sights, etc. So unless you provide logs, specific description of the issue, when it happens and some test pictures to show me the loss of quality then I don't know if I can be of any help.

Picture quality can be fixed with gcam. I don't if it can comsidered as a bug or what.
The main issue is audio recording which was not stable.
I provided @marceldossantos91 with logs. Now I'm on stock so sorry not being able to provide again.
Btw, waiting new release.

To expand on the above question, do I need to flash the ROM every time the ROM gets an update or does it auto-update when a new version comes out?

Waiting for the awesome A12 version to be stable before formatting and flashing on my phone!

Thanks a lot for your hard work!

Apologies for the delay, SP patches get updates from time to time but definitely not at the speed of LOS.

With the current decryption bug though and all development shifted towards A12, i more hope we can get A12 going, however if not soon, i will release a maintainence update by about month end.

Yes, you need to flash it, dirty flash is possible, but with our decryption bug mentioned it could trigger a data wipe, thats why im avoiding pushing unecessary updates for now, i dont want everyone constantly needing to clean flash for such minor changes.

I'm working on making Android 12 stable enough for daily use. Right now it's 90% perfect, as bluetooth and some minor encryption hurdles remain to be fixed (the encryption is mostly fixed though). My priority if fixing the encryption bug though and making OTA's work properly (which should be possible after a new firmware update).

Ancient will be on hold for a while for android 12, as we require some libraries for BT to work that the sources have not included yet.

I have however posted my cherish A12 builds so long. please be patient for next release of Ancient, its going to take time.

    Installing an OTA (Dirty flash):
    1. Download the updated ROM zip and take a full backup of internal storage, just in case.
    2. in TWRP flash the updated ROM zip and recovery-installer.zip then reboot to recovery
    3. Flash Gapps again if you had previously installed it
    4. Wipe dalvik cache
    5. Reboot to system and enjoy!

    [known bugs list]
    - Offline charging animation does not work
    - Loudspeaker is loud and may create some echo in calls
