Flashing Steps:

NOTE: You should also make sure you are on one of the most recent firmware versions shipping with your device. I'll try to provide specific information as needed, and occasional flashable firmware files too.

Coming from another rom
NOTE: If you are coming from OOS, you need to FORMAT your /data partition. This is where TWRP asks you to type "yes" to proceed, and is where you will delete all your personal files on your phone. So, BACK THEM UP!
(As an alternate method, you can put the device in fastboot, and use "fastboot format userdata")

1) Download Candy8.zip (See Post #2)
2) Download Oreo Gapps (optional - See Post #2))
3) Boot into recovery (TWRP)
4) Full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)
5) Flash Candy8.zip
6) Flash Gapps
7) Reboot

Updating from previous Candy8 release
1) Download Candy8.zip (See Post #2)
2) Boot into recovery
3) Flash Candy8.zip
4) Wipe Dalvik
5) Wipe Cache'
6) Reboot

IMPORTANT - PROBLEMS/ISSUES:
If you have issues, you need to provide both of the following:
  1. Logs from you (logcat, last_kmsg, dmesg) linked to on pastebin.com or hasteb.in, showing the failure.
  2. A clear description of the steps that I need to take to exactly reproduce the problem.
Please DO NOT complain about problems and offer nothing to help fix it. I reserve the right to ignore you for not following insructions...


NO ETA REQUESTS!

* See Post #2 for Downloads

* See Post #3 for FAQ/Known issues


-Please give first boot a good few minutes.
-New additions and fixes being added constantly...


Special thanks to GZOSP, GZR-Roms, LineageOS, SlimRoms, Omni, TeslaROM, and all the rest who make their source open. We can't do all of this on our own.

FAQ
  1. You may find that you have apps FCing after a dirty flash or nandroid restore. Such apps may include Email apps, and other apps that use WebView. AOSP includes their WebView, but it is pretty outdated. If you experience these FCs, and clearing data or even REINSTALLING an app does not fix it, take a look at the version of webview selected in Settings > System > Developer options > WebView implementation, and choose the newest one, in this case, Chrome stable:
    View attachment 4405650View attachment 4405651
  2. Depending on the version of GApps you have installed, you may remove/replace included apps (like Dialer, Calendar) without knowing it. For this reason it's suggested to use the smallest GApps package possible that gives you Play Services functionality.
  3. Screen recording tile:
    There are 3 different resolutions for the screen record tile, indicated by the 3 "dots" that will appear on the icon. 480P. 720P and 1080P, are 1, 2, and 3 dots, respectively. Tap to change them, then long press to record when ready. Tap the flashing red dot in the lower right of the screen to end recording, or long-press it to move the dot to the other side of the screen.

What's not working:
You tell me. It's been through some repeated testing.

I noticed you included a link to the flashable firmwares for the OP3T by Lord Boeffla (sp.), but the last thread dates back to November 2017. Is OOS 5.0.0 the latest OP3T firmware?

Good catch, thanks. The ROM is currently at OB30 for OP3, and OB21 for OP3T, so you will want those firmwares.

The link to @jamal2367's firmware thread is recent though for the OP3, but I will have to dig for a good OP3T thread. If someone can suggest one, feel free and I'll update the downloads post. I'll take down Lord Boeffla's link.
