Hey another day another rom, that's what you might be thinking. but we at stag aim towards elegance. We are learners just like everyone out there, This is small project we have started which helps us learn every single day. Why Stag, you might question, my answer would be why not. After all Harry's patronus was a stag(pun intended). After having a couple of iterations, we still intend to stick to our roots, and keep refining what we have. With Android 13, Stag would still be aiming at an elegantly beautiful close to stock experience, that satisfies just the features and customisations you'd crave for (nothing more, nothing less), at the same time being blazing fast and silky smooth. You'll have to try it to believe it .
~Sic Parvis Magna~
PS: for people wondering what sic parvis magna is, it translates to great endings from small beginnings, Something i picked up while playing a game.
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
This is a very initial stage build, bugs are to be expected. Although so far in testing we did not find anything major, cts not working and any such issues are to be expected, and you will be flashing the build of your own accord.
Please do not expect features or anything at all, this is just an initial release and is completely stock with 0 features whatsoever.
I am planning to have super frequent releases of A13 beta, and soon it will be the stag you know and love (it's super stable already)

Installation
Please follow the instructions properly.
(If you face issues with installation, MSM is the way. These are initial builds and anything can happen)
**Make sure your boot loader is unlocked**
Please read the following carefully for incremental
Incremental updates are considerably smaller updates (10-400mb instead of 2.5Gb) and will only work if you are updating from a specific version.
For incremental to work you have to make sure that you flashed no additional zips (magisk, partition gapps etc etc) as that will modify partition and incremental will not work any more.
if an incremental flashing fails nothing bad happens to your system and you are free to dirty flash the full update
.
If you have any questions regarding the same feel free to post them.
If none of the above methods work, please manually go to oos 12 firmware, flash vendor_boot, debt, boot and then flash copy partitions zip and flash the rom
What's Working
All extra info will be slowly updated over time and will be readily available by the time of official release.
All this said, the build has been pretty great so far so I hope all you you have a blast trying it out.
