nice

Eager to try this out. Any chance this ROM has Sig Spoof support?

 

[Turbojugend]

Do you need to force close Play Store on this rom like other 8.1 roms?

Meaning for microG? Yes

Actually I didn't know that was an issue, but it explains what I had to do. So yes, and I'll look into a fix for that for tomorrow's release. About to test the fixed NFC build then push for release

Excellent. And we are off!

Development is starting to kick off! From Discord only to XDA, can't wait to see what devs have in store for this device

Also can you post the boot img so root can be done please?

Why not just do it yourself?

Does it use the original stock boot image? Every other ROM I've used have posted their own boot img, invis did it for LOS and AOSIP did as well for their 8.1 ROM.

The bottom of the OP tells you how to dump the boot image from the ROM you're currently running. It says, "For advanced users", but if you can read, it's not difficult.

If anyone wants the boot.img here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QGUrBumK4fMGrp5IBRRZ4UhzccGOvLHF/view?usp=drivesdk .

Didn't fix nfc yet, but I found out today that the alarm doesn't work, so that fixed. I'll be uploading build 2 with these new features:

- Updater app, you can choose a zip with a file manager(not the stock one yet, I use FX File Explorer) and hit install, and once it's done, reboot and it'll be updated to new build. This is something I whipped together in an hour, so its not final yet, and it will have delta updates soon
- Alarm now rings(missed an interview because of this bug)
- SafetyNet passing on stock

Currently working on:
- Delta OTA's
- Persistent notification for updates
- NFC
- A way to root with magisk without needing to manually patch boot and install
- Themeing support(use Bucket Overlay Manager on play store for root theming for now) SUBSTRATUM IS NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE SUPPORTED
- More Features

I'll also push boot.IMG with it for people using magisk

Great stuff!

 

[USA-RedDragon]

Added a slightly better looking ui for Updater and a notification for it. Building now, will flash then if it works upload.

 

[USA-RedDragon]

Worked with AOSIP dev a bit for NFC. I might have it now. If so, I can fully focus on what's ahead:

- Delta OTA's
- A way to root with magisk without needing to manually patch boot and install
- Theming support(use Bucket Overlay Manager on play store for root theming for now) SUBSTRATUM IS NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE SUPPORTED
- More Features

This build will be posted in about an hour. Sorry for the delays, but I had a couple breakthroughs

 

[USA-RedDragon]

Finally here. Updater doesn't show progress properly (broke that, but it's still working) and safetynet isn't passing on stock, though I'll fix when I get up.

Side note: nfc works and I added a few more options to Settings-> display for dt2s and pixel navbar and lockscreen torch

 

[USA-RedDragon]

Safetynet isn't as easy to fix as I figured. Not a high priority. Goals for tonight's build:

- Gapps issues fixed(needing to force close play store)
- Updater uses progressbar correctly
- Delta updates
- Less stock bloat apps
- maybe more

In the pipeline:
- A way to root with magisk without needing to manually patch boot and install
- Theming support(use Bucket Overlay Manager on play store for root theming for now) SUBSTRATUM IS NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE SUPPORTED
- Safetynet
- More Features
