Looking good.
I've been searching for a stable ROM to switch from stock. Looks like this is the one.
Thank you for your time and development of this ROM!
One question tho. Can you explain more about the "HardCore kernel" and can I flash ElementalX kernel instead?

Hardcore Kernel: Thread Link, best explained here.

I only use kernels built inline with my ROMs, so I don't know if EX (or any other) will work or not. That you'll have to try at your own risk to find out.

@NepoRood everything working except qs tile light & dark colour changer option
Ok, thanks. And that reminds me (I can't believe I forgot!) Don't use the reboot QS tile to reboot recovery, it will force a Factory Reset and you'll lose your data if you don't turn the phone off in time. Crap, can't believe I forgot to post that!!

Would it be possible to add a way to disable the battery saver color change and the camera gesture vibration?
Thanks for the great looking ROM.

IKR! That's the only major issue, I've had this ROM installed on my 6P for the last 5 days. I'm going to run the risk today and try to get a log on the reset thing, may end up just pulling the tile.

That feature should be implemented in the future, I've already brought it up to the FireHound ROM team.

I'll look into it...

I would just disable the QS tile in case someone mash it by accident. Also what adjustment did you do on the stock camera? For future updates, can we dirty flash or will that update be done via the essentials app?

Thx.. Then I will wait for your news in this regard... Btw rom is downloading anyway...3 little questions :
1. Is unlink ring and notification tones included?
2. Is long press power for torch present?
3. I believe caffeine and partial screenshot are available?

VERY IMPORTANT: Do not, I say again: DO NOT!, use the QS tile to reboot recovery, it will force a Factory Reset, rebooting system works fine, but recovery is still derped.

Current Vendor Image: February 2018 (OPM3.171019.014) Link

This ROM is using the Hardcore Kernel (Thread) by @scafroglia93, which is currently upstream to 3.10.108

Working:
Pretty much everything seems to be working, for me anyway (including VoLTE and Bluetooth)
Proper functionality requires a Nano GApps package (linked above, if you don't have it).

Known Bug(s)/Issues:
Above mentioned QS tile reboot issue (DON'T USE IT!!)
OTAs via the Essentials app are still being worked on
SELinux is running in Permissive mode
Do u mean volte is working for 6p?

I'll do that, going to remove current build from AFH, new one will be up soon. Camera is described in OP, and dirty flashing should be okay, unless I post otherwise (I will test 1st)
