Bootleggers ROM is an aftermarket firmware based on AOSP with some patches and fixes from LineageOS and various other projects. The idea is to bring custom features and some of the most useful apps on your device, with the goal of Making you feel like 家.

With an almost stable source, this ROM is also packed with some custom wallpapers (avaliable on ShishuWalls), ringtones, fonts, and themes to bring to your device into a more fresh look and give you always a good experience.

Also, we got our Telegram Group to talk about the ROM, share some love, ideas or even have fun with us!



Some of the features that are included on this ROM are:
Code:
* QS Rows and Colums
* Volume Keys: Wake up, skip tracks and switch according to rotation
* Show song album cover, visualizer and battery info on Lockscreen
* Power Menu Items
* Battery LED light settings
* Suspend Actions: Make your device disable GPS and switch to 2G when you're not using it
* AppOps: Manage your apps permissions in an advanced way
* Recent Styles: Dig the new Pie Quickstep recents, go back to the classic layout or use the Android Go layout
* Network icons: Show or hide the cross, switch between 4G or LTE, use the classic icon layout before Pie or toggle roaming icon too!
Also, you can check a full list of Features available here.

Glad to see you're still developing for our device! Thanks!
Yup, i was busy all this time working on this project so, sorry for not being really active on the ROM scene.

Hi @ElDainosor
I've just flashed.
Very nice build. Dark theme for Oreo is great idea.
Snowfall too.
Hmm, quick settings dark - after restart.
That dark theme is purely featured on our base (GZOSP) so, maybe it may cause some issues with the features, sorry if it's there any theme issues with the GZOSP dark mode.

Just revived my Sprint surnia to give this a shot - don't have any service on it, but everything via local/WiFi working beautifully so far.

Nicely done!
Thanks, i was working hard and even though it has issues, i'm really glad you and everybody enjoy it!

First of all: thanks for your hard work. It's really appreciated :)
This is the first Oreo ROM I install on my XT1527 and it works great. It's visually really appealing too! Congrats!

The only issues so far are that the swype function doesn't work at all (activated and deactivated several times) on the AOSP keyboard, and that all the calendars I've tested can't sync with my Google account. In fact, there isn't even a switch on the syncing config for calendars.

I want to start a couple of pull requests, I think, one in the GZOSP Github and the other in the oreo-surnia Girthub, but I'm having troubles choosing the correct repository to do it on the second case, and I'm not so sure that the sync problem is relevant for GZOSP. So I wanted to say thanks and throw them here first.
