Screen mirroring not work. I installed magisk and xposed installer. From xposed installer -framework -menu, reboot and reboot to recovery work.

What a goddamn good ROM you have built. Seriously, I wasn't expecting such stability for an Oreo ROM for this device. It's perfect and the offline charging doesn't bother me at all. Now, there are some few bugs I came across.

Screen responsiveness is unpredictable. Most of the time it works like a charm, but certain areas on the screen start to be unresponsive after a while. It isn't a huge deal as a reboot fixes the problem temporarily. I'm not sure if its due to the screen density changes which was automatically set to 399 (a bit of an odd number). Yet, it happens every once in a while.

Rooting Magisk doesn't work, at least from TRWP or from the app itself. Recovery hangs while flashing and the app gives an unknown error. It might be an Oreo related problem so I'll try doing so using ADB, or some other method and post back.

There are some issues with the default lineage camera when using Adoptive Storage. It won't practically make any photos. It's not a huge deal, as I can use Open Camera, which works fine, but the Asus PixelMaster lacks the "Laser-Focus". It's probably some drivers issue I'm not aware of, but I don't find it a priority as Asus themselves deprecated the app years ago.

As for the rest. Great work, it has already become my daily driver.

Does otg work? Dual Sim?
Does it pass safetynet?
OTG works fine for me. On the other hand, it doesn't pass SafetyNet at all, it's common when it comes to custom ROMS, specially for unsupported devices. In this case it neither passed the CTS Profile nor the BasicIntegrity test coming from a clean flash. As for Dual SIM, I've yet to try it. I'll post further results in the following days.

Battery life is quite impressive and boot times are incredibly fast. I can't wait to install Amplify, Brevent and Xposed to see how much juice I can squeeze using this ROM.

Is there any way to make it pass safetynet? I need to use banking apps.

I think there are some Magisk modules that could help, but I haven't really tried them as my local banking apps don't require my phone to pass SafetyNet, not even PayPal. Only Google Pay is problematic in this case and as far as I know, Netflix and Pokemon Go too.

I'm sorry I can't really give you a better answer as I'm a late adopter of the Magisk systemless way of rooting. :(

1. Use magisk hide for banking apps.
2. For using tez/google pay : just go to apps settings and turn off the telephone permission of google play services.
There you go , have fun :cowboy:

I didn't try this ROM, but installed the Lineage OS/RR and now the 8.1 AOSP Extended ROMs, then used Magisk module :

https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...onfig-t3789228

No problems for my Z010D Asus to pass both tests. Then use Magisk Hide for banking apps and others not to see it.

However, if you can't pass the BasicIntegrity test in the first place, that is a big problem, almost everyone should pass that. They have some information at the link above.

Not working: 1.double tap to wake, 2. LED when charging, 3. At times, screen freezes, does not respond to touch, have to reboot

Uninstalled for now, not usable as a daily driver. Going back to Android 7.1 (AIM ROM)
