Candy Pie! I'm all set up and running smoothly with no issues so far, thanks for the rom. :good: I'm hoping some more customizations will be added soon. Is there an option for swapping the nav buttons that I am missing?? I can't find it if there is.....

Software keys is almost ready, with stock navbar, stock gesture navbar and SmartNav (SmartBar/Fling/Pulse). Hardware keys are next. I lost my SOGs with SmartNav but I think I know why... lol fun, fun :D

That's why they call it "building" roms! It's very smooth and fluid, it'll be nice to see the progression. I like SmartBar and haven't really adopted "the pill" yet, so that will be a great add! Cheers :eek:

How do you get a auto face unlock?
Is that face unlock in oos or like the trusted face?
Same thing lol. Make sure you have a PIN or some device locking set up, then you need to allow it by going to Settings > Security > Advanced > Trust Agents and enabling Smart Lock (Google). Then, face unlock becomes available.

Hey there!

I know that this may sound like a silly question but I have been out of the flashing game for a couple of years now so I am a bit cautious. I am on OOS 5.1.7 (no root or custom recovery yet), after flashing twrp will this be a problem when flashing the rom?

Additionally can I also flash SuperSU instead of magisk for root access?

Thank you

Uhhhh... lol Are you bootloader unlocked? If not, it will wipe your device. I'd suggest reading up on the process before diving in.

As far as SuperSU... I wouldn't. It was sold off to some Chinese company a while back... Magisk 17.3 is available and recommended if you want to root. You can use the Magisk app to not only manage root access but to hide root from certain apps (Android Pay, for example). :)

This ROM is nearly flawless. VoLTE works, SafetyNet pass with Magisk. There's some minor stutter here and there and for some reason I can't see Trusted Face in Smart Lock even after installing a full gApps package.

Also, is there a custom kernel available to use with Pie?

Hi! Nice Rom, I have a bug with volume buttons. Sometimes when I press up button or down button only change 1 value and when I press again change -1. I don't know why. Best regards

thank you, I have the bootloader unlocked from settings, but if I got you right since it will wipe the internal memory I will need an otg to hold the rom until the process is complete, right?
