Frequently asked questions

Q : I get error 255 while flashing from recovery
A : Flash using correct TWRP Download it here Here!

Q : Is root access included into AOSP?
A : Not by default. Grab the latest Magisk Here!

Q : I see the governor in this rom is set to performance does that drains juice and what should i do to get balanced performance and battery ?
A : Yes default governor is set to performance because i dont want 1GB ram users to cry around for performance issue on oreo because people hardly value the amounts of efforts invested to do such bringups where kernels from oems were not even properly available and just rant however if you want to set it interactive you can do it and one of our pal @GuestStar came up with a brilliant guide to help you so you dont mess up while playing with kernels i really feel good when i see such volunteers coming up you can find link to his post Here!(Guide by @GuestStar) and try it.

Can I flash ABC mod? Does the ROM support it?
A : Yeah sure, but I will not support you. And no, the ROM probably does not support it.

Q : ARM, When .....?
A : This is an ARM build and updates will stay on ARM!

Is VOLTE supported ?
A : No.

Q : Can I flash XYZ kernel?
A : No, there's a fair number of kernel changes from Nougat to Oreo.

Q : Is the ROM suited for daily usage ?
A : Yes, The rom is working amazingly for all the users and me.

Q : It says "Process system isn't responding" after booting. ?
A : No worries, just press "Wait".

Q : WHEN UPDATE?? GIB UPDATE PL0X.
A : Updates will be brought as sources are updated. Please understand that Oreo is in Alpha stage and it will take time to bring features or stuff!

Screenshots of the rom! Black theme used is latest version of Flux.

There are some minor glitches at the moments which cannot be tagged as bugs. For example the "Process System has stopped" pop up at the start. It doesn't effect anything, all you have to do is press wait and it won't come up again unless you reboot your phone.
The camera is working but isn't saving the pictures at the moment. It is being worked on and will be fixed very soon!
Thanks for understanding. Enjoy. :fingers-crossed: :good:

I tried the rom for some curiousity and i some pros and cons in that
Pros
1 ui is buttery smoooth
2 battery backup is normal no battery draining
3 not much ram usage
4 app opening time is perfect
Cons
1 validus most of the customisation won't work
2 wifi speed is not that much great as mine wifi is of 50 mbps and the rom is only hitting the peak then drop( tested while in speedtest app and also with downloading apps from playstore
4 pip is working incorrectly as it should display the running video but it display the top right corner
5 also some funny part while running video in youtube app in landscape mode the sound up act as volume down button and sound down button act as volume up button

Hi, thanks for reporting all the things. Regarding the cons, most of the customizations did work for me in Wolves Den but yes, since Oreo is in Alpha stage so the features are being ported from the older versions of android and it'll take some time to implement all of them properly. I didn't face any issues related to WiFi and usually it isn't rom related but are you sure it's not related to your location? PIP is again in it's first stages in here. And about the button swapping, that is actually a feature which was available in all the roms before as well. To disable it, go to Settings>Wolves Den>Buttons & uncheck Swap volume buttons rotation based.
Everything will get fine overtime it's a long road to go! :laugh:

Thanx

Both of these bugs will be fixed in upcoming update.

UC is not yet completely supported with Android Oreo. This is not the rom side issue, use any other browser there are plenty of them. Also yeah, performance and gaming is way better than Nougat!
