* Your warranty is now void (not really, as you can always go back to OxygenOS and lock the bootloader).
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
* Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it!
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
* Read the whole OP! Be respectful to each other and don't ask for ETAs, it's considered as being rude!

Note: As sdcardfs is dropped in this build, clean flash is necessary.

Check out the changelog here.

1) If fingerprint unlock doesn't work well, change the FOD pressed color (Settings > Extensions >System > Customization >Fingerprint pressed color). Green works really well for me and is really fast. Check what works for you the best.

2) Pocket detection doesn't work well, as in most other ROMs.

I would love to try this rom, but can someone please answer these questions?

1. How is the battery life? SOT?
2. I faced charging issues with other roms, where charging will stop and start again every few seconds, is anyone facing that?
3. Will safety net and google play certification work?
4. How are the thermals?

You can check the screen on time and the apps used. Battery life is pretty good. I've tested the ROM before release for few days. No problems with charging. Safety Net works and Widevine L1 too. Google certification works as well. If you want to game, I'd suggest you to flash Gulch Kernel. The current kernel is for good battery life. Thermals are pretty average. Will try to update those in upcoming builds. Experience on the rom is very smooth.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The battery life looks excellent. Thanks for creating/maintaining this ROM.

I'll play around with this and give you more feedback.

• Added latest completely working OOS Camera and Gallery.
  • Does this mean 4k60 works without crashing? I am currently using Greatness Gcam for oneplus 8.
• Battery Tweaks under customization
  • Does this let's you change governers? battery saver/balanced/performance?

Everything in the OOS camera works perfectly as on oxygen os. Even 4k60.
And I'm attaching the battery tweaks screenshots. You can check it out.

Thanks again for the quick reply.

It might be a good idea to highlight the above answers in the first post, since these are the faqs anyone will have who are looking for a new rom.

Sorry for so many questions, but i have been facing these issues with other roms and it's good to see that this rom checks allmost all the checkboxes.

Final question, how is the 5Ghz wifi range? Did you face any issues with that?

Can't wait to try the rom.

I can't really answer that question. I don't have a 5Ghz Wi-Fi router. But tired to connect with hotspot from other phone using 5Ghz and it seems to work fine. Again I can't be sure about it.

I would love to tryout this awesome rom from the screenshots and all the positive feedbacks. I have two questions regarding this rom. First will the fingerprint registration and unlocking work as fast as OOS10?. I tried different custom roms they had this of unlocking where no matter in what position I put my finger on the sensor it just won't unlock. Second although I was able to have L1 on Pixel experience also, and DRM and Netflix showed L1, I wasn't able to play HD in neither Prime nor Netflix. Is this present here?. Awaiting your reply on these issues.

The fingerprint is really fast. I've mentioned above too "If fingerprint unlock doesn't work well, change the FOD pressed color (Settings > Extensions >System > Customization >Fingerprint pressed color). Green works really well for me and is really fast. Check which color works for you the best."
For L1 checkout new build and updated installation instructions.

L1 is present in this ROM and I'm using prime and have no problem playing HD content. Make sure you flash the rom properly or you might just miss L1.

Thank you for such a fast response! Really appreciate it. Will definitely try it the first thing in morning and will give my review on it.

 

[rags_2489]

Hi, I installed your rom, but sadly I did not get widevine L1.

I was on 11.0.3.1 and I checked I had L1 after unlocking bootloader also, but after I booted in this rom, I got L3.

I used msm tool to go back to android 10 and upgraded to 11 using system update.

Am I missing anything?

You probably did not flash OOS 11 on both the slots properly. Flash it on both the slots properly and then clean flash AEX over that using the given boot image. I have L1. You can check it out.

 

[rags_2489]

Are the below steps correct to flash oos on both slots?

1. Go back to android 10 using MSM tool.
2. Unlock bootloader.
3. Download oos 11 complete zip using oxygen updater.
4. Use TWRP to flash zip twice (slot will change the second time)
5. Then proceed with installation?

Yeah try that or you can even extract the payload.bin and manually flash to both slots using fastboot. You can find instructions on xda for that. I'll try to include copy partitions zip in the next built so that people don't mess up the installation.

The Rom is really Awesome, buttery smooth with all the customisations one could need. There's a problem however. I am attaching the ScreenShot of the DRM info. I have L1, Netflix too shows L1. In HDR type it shows not supported, whereas on OOS it did. I am able to play Full HD on Netflix but not on Prime. I have set the Quality to Best but still it plays at 480p. Any fixes for this?

 

[prateekv50]

Also one thing I noticed was Hardware Acceleration is not available in prime. I don't know if it's related but just an observation
