About Project:
Cardinal-AOSP is a Custom ROM which was initially based on AOSPB, then we changed our mind and rebased it to AOSP-RRO, to get better compatibility with most of the devices. And now we are based on AOSP on oreo.

The main aim of this ROM is to bring stock AOSP experience as much as possible while maintaining performance, smoothness and good battery backup.

I hope that you'll all love this project, and help us, shape it even more better.

Meanwhile, all of our sources are publicly available on our Github. We also do own a Google+ Community, where you can.... uhm... you know, do what all others do at forums and communities! Hope you enjoy your stay and like our work on Cardinal-AOSP.

What is signature spoofing and what are the benefits of it?

What is signature spoofing and what are the benefits of it?

It allows easier installation of MicroG. MicroG is an alternative to Gapps where you don't rely on Google Play Services, it provides the end user with more privacy from Google however some developers have claimed the signature spoofing opens up a security loophole but I have seen others mention they are using that as an excuse to avoid falling out with Google, I won't name anyone involved as it's controversial.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

I'm wondering what's the process to install MicroG here?:

Do I have to flash the ROM, then Gapps, load Android, remove Gapps and then install MicroG?

or can I just install the ROM and then MicroG? I feel like doing that the phone may fail to boot?

 

[lp2yisdfu]

Does this ROM have fingerprint gestures?

Yes, it's working for me on my P2C72 with an F2FS format Data partition. I can't speak for the P2A42.

 

[rickyshaw]

Can this rom be used as a daily driver ? The reason I am asking is because the developers have marked it beta. Now I don't use volte or NFC so I don't have any issue using. Just need to know if the rom is stable enough and don't restart frequently or loose mobile signal. Please let me know

It seems stable to me so far. I am having trouble getting Magisk installed but I just found out I can use ext4 and still have fingerprint working so that could be it.

This one is a lot more up to date and as a result has less bugs.

 

[lp2yisdfu]

I couldn't get Magisk to work the install.zip created an error most times, and it soft bricked my phone when I had it set to F2FS.

I went back to EXT4, flashed SuperSU and I have root access now. I think I have MicroG working mostly but I haven't been able to add the F-Droid repository yet.

If anyone is interested in getting root access and SuperSU working I will post up a tutorial, it took me a lot more trial and error than you might expect.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I will also try this ROM but I have to wait 7 days till Bootloader is unlocked. I will also root my P2 so I will be glad if you make a tutorial for this.
Thanks :good:

Does fingerprint and fingerprint gestures work for p2a42 on this rom??

 

[nazim7]

Does fingerprint and fingerprint gestures work for p2a42 on this rom??

Fingerprint works but FP gestures will not work.

 

[titusjsph]

Any hope for FP gestures in this ROM?

 

[lp2yisdfu]

I have found a few bugs and issues:

- Video recording doesn't work, the camera is very dark and playback produces a still image with sound (will try Footej camera again) Footej camera works for video recording but the exposure or ISO is still very low.
- After the phone enters deep sleep (from not using overnight), I couldn't unlock the screen, the display stays black until reboot or mashing the buttons a lot.
- Signature spoofing for MicroG shows as unsupported (see screenshot at the end) I have tried using Snapchat and it says Google play services aren't supported on my device, I installed MicroG following the tutorial on Github exactly.
- The screenshot from power menu isn't timed correctly it creates a dull and dark screenshot because of the transition, on a similar ROM it was often taking a screenshot of the power menu itself and not what is displayed on screen.
- Always on display should not be used because the clock is a still image, on an AMOLED screen this will eventually cause burn in.
- Expanded desktop doesn't work as it should. After the navigation bar buttons disappear they are sometimes still pressable, ie: I have Nova Launcher behind the home button, I wait until the home button disappears but when I press the Nova app drawer button it press the homescreen instead, I had this bug on other ROMs too so I assume it's ported from the LOS base.
- Kernel Adiutor crashes on boot

Everything else is working fine so far.

You can ignore this my phone was being buggy and didn't fully flash the new ROM.

Magisk only works with ext4 file system! And video recording issue has been there since many days not an issue now! Screen unlock is normal see if you have disabled some app bymistakenly.

Yes, I meant I installed it with ext4 data partition and during the install it gave me some error. SuperSU works anyway so I prefer that.

The screen unlocking doesn't work properly; when you have expanded desktop turned on. That's the issue and I had the problem from a clean install with only that setting changed. If I turn off the navigation bar, or turn off expanded desktop then it's fine. Turn it on and blackscreen instead of screen unlock. I think it's relating to the encryption on my phone because when I was using F2FS it fixed the problem.

I will try to flash again if you're sure video recording isn't an issue it seems like some settings are hanging around for no reason, considering I did a full wipe pre-install it's odd unless these bugs are exclusive to the P2C72 (I read somewhere it uses different camera hardware).

Btw, I was thinking with Magisk since the problem comes down to the Moto/Lenovo kernel if I flash your Magma kernel before install would that be a workaround for the bug or is the fix not included yet?

Thanks

everytime i boot after installing rom, it says To resume using your phone, you must perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you’ll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account”.

and in TWRP it shows that internal storage is 0 in size !
