What is Code Aurora Forums ?

Code Aurora Forum (CAF) is a consortium of companies with projects serving the mobile wireless industry. Software projects it concerns itself with are e.g. Android for MSM, Femto Linux Project, LLVM, MSM WLAN and Linux-MSM. Code Aurora is basically AOSP plus all Qualcomm specific enhancements and optimization.
​

What is AOSP-CAF ?

AOSP-CAF is meant to join AOSP and CAF projects into a widely usable repository,
stored on https://github.com/AOSP-CAF/. It also benefits from a few LineageOS updates.
Finally, AOSP-CAF Nougat also includes OMS theming implementations.

Rom is great, but I can't record videos with build-in camera app (Camera close when I select video). Log >> https://pastebin.com/RccdJ2ER
With Open Camera it works, but quality is terrible

EDIT: It's not that bad.

 

[Adarsh Dubey]

Hello @STRYDER~007!
Thanks for one more contribution for our device. I'm sure that it will be an awesome ROM. But what are the major changes in this ROM? I mean is it the same like @PecanCM's AOSP version, or it's a bit different?

Alright. I'll switch to Camera2 for now then. It seems Snap cam is broken.

PecanCM's AOSP is based on Google's pure AOSP with only device specific additions. This AOSP-CAF is mixture of both AOSP and some goodies/patches/fixes/upstream changes from Code Aurora Forum. Plus it has theme engine! Just install Substratum app from play store. You'll notice the differences when you'll flash this ROM.

Thanks for the reply brother! One more thing - am I going to lose dual SIM feature if I flash SuperSU after flashing the patch, or am I going to lose root if I flash dual SIM patch after SuperSU like it was happening in AOSP?

Uh I'm not sure.No other user reported such things. So you'll have to try it yourself.

Tried!
A few things that I noticed:
Everything works perfectly as supposed to(except Camera app - mainly Video recording).
Dual SIM persists even after flashing SuperSU.
SIM networks fluctuate for a while after first boot.

The kernel within the ROM is not working with my Sony M - with normal boot it stucks with SONY on the screen, trying to upgrade the rom wia recovery it says "no e/ -- SD card not found"

Solution:
I took TWRP 3.0.20 for the device - SD card is now present - img can be flashed via recovery

 

[MiyamuraNEET]

I wanted to use it but my phone died ;--;

[Tu Dam]

thanks for your ROM, give me something new to try, I thought this phone is no longer get support from this forum.
I hope you would soon add shorcuts "Sync" and "Screenshot" in Quicksetting They both are so handy. Also my power and camera buttons are dead, I need those shortcuts.
Thanks again. @STRYDER~007
