ROM Info

Welcome to SkyDragon OS for the OnePlus 6/6T!
This ROM is based on AOSP source that I have optimized specifically for the Snapdragon 845.
I have paired it with my already optimized kernel. You won't find a better experience anywhere else.
I only own the OP6T but am currently blind supporting the OP6 as well.

Based on AOSP
Android Version: 9.0 PQ3B.190605.006
Actually Optimized specifically for SDM845(SD845)
LightningZap! Kernel Built-in Refer to post #3

Everyone translating on our Crowdin Project
special thanks to Vache, the OmniRom team and everyone else who contributed to getting On Display Fingerpint scanner to work. Without it, we wouldn't have working FOD.
@martinusbe and @hardwareadictos from GZR Roms for oneplus camera support.

Special shout-out to xyyx, literally would not be here without his hard work.
I'm sure I'm missing other people on this list. I try and maintain authorship as best as I can but sometimes things get lost.
If I missed you or issues please let me know and I will try to resolve asap.

Fix odd/random issues with A/B realigining

 

[thomas.raines]

F.A.Q.

We do not recommend nor support using 3rd party mods(helix/akt/viper/substratum/greenify/etc), beta magisk versions, magisk modules, and especially not other kernels.

Before issues should be reported:

1. Rom needs to be clean flashed
2. No Xposed, AKT Profiles, Helix Engine, magisk modules, or other mods, kernels, etc.
3. Do not restore any apps with TiBu or Swift or some other app restoring application
4. No Substratum themes installed

If you can still reproduce the issue you're having:
1. Logcat/logs must be provided with your report in order to receive any support.
2. I also need a full description of what happened, what you were doing when it happened, and a way to guarantee-ably reproduce the problem. If I or my testers cannot reproduce it, not only will it likely not get fixed, it likely isn't even an issue with the rom/kernel.
3. Screen record or picture of the issue is also helpful.

If you're not familiar with how to get logs, I prefer that you would use Syslog app from the Play Store as it will grab all necessary logs for you and scrub any personal data from them when doing so.

If you can't give logs for errors or possible bugs, I literally cannot help you solve it. You might as well not even report it.

If you have a question:
1. Please read at least the last two pages of the thread
2. Use the 'Search this thread' function on the top-right of this site

If you still cannot find the answer you need, go ahead and ask away.


Telegram Support Group Closed. Support will only be provided here.


Common issues:

Q: What does clean flash mean?
A: Wipe system/data/cache/dalvik in recovery and then flash rom, gapps, and magisk if you want it.
A2: If you are doing so in order to reproduce an issue you're having, no other things must be flashed, changed, altered.

Q: What is dirty flash and when is it allowable?
A: We do support dirty flashing SD releases directly on top of previous SD releases ONLY. You just flash new release right on top of previous SD version without wiping anything. We do recommend you wipe cache/dalvik cache however.
A2: If you have slow downs or any other issues tho, you must clean flash the rom and follow the steps above before reporting anything.

Q: You flashed magisk zip and booted phone and there is no magisk manager apk in apps and root isnt working.
A: Install magisk manager apk by itself once you're booted, it sometimes doesn't get installed with zip.

Q: My battery life is horrible
A: Stop using Greenify, amplify, and/or other "battery optimization" apps or mods. Stop blocking wakelocks and alarms, just use the rom and kernel as they come without any tweaking.
Side note: Facebook/FB Messender/Instagram/musicly will destroy your battery life.

Q: Can't change QS layout (Rows/Columns)
A: Pull down QS Shade, click 'Pencil' looking icon, click 3-dot menu, enjoy.

Q: What do location icons mean
A: Dot = Sensors only, + = Battery Saving, H = High Accuracy

Q: No Recents options/clear-all button in Settings
A: Quickstep Launcher(Pie recents) uses its own setup so 'Recents' options are hidden while its installed/enabled. If you remove/Disable the Launcher3Quickstep and hence go back to normal AOSP recent style, then Dragon's Den will show a 'Recents' tab with Clear-all button toggle, placement selection, and a membar toggle.

Q: PUBG
A: This game is horribly "optimized". I do not support this game at all and I do not build anything with this game in mind.

Q: What GCam to use?
A: Currently MGC_6.1.021_xcam_5_beta16 seems to be working the best, can find others to try here

Q: Screen flickers/android auto
A: For now best bet is disable HW Overlays in developer options.

LightningZap! kernels

Thought I'd put some useful info in here about LightningZap! kernel.
First, it is a lightweight, yet heavily tweaked and optimized kernel geared towards performance and battery life.
Features:

• Based off ElementalX kernel by flar
• blue_schedul governor from blue_spark kernel thanks to eng.st
  
• Ondemand gov Optimized for better performance while maintaining battery life
• FIOPS ioscheduler by default (suggest leavving it that way)
• My insane readahead tweak **** In HDK-Mod kernel manager, it reports "Not in range." This is normal DO NOT adjust. My tweaks optimizes readahead per demand usage.****
• LZ4 compression
• O3 Optimizations
• zram
• lz-sysctl tweaks
• Sound control (speaker, earpiece and mic)
• Backlight min setting
• Adjust or disable vibration
• Advanced Color Control and K-Lapse
• Block wakelocks
• NTFS r/w, CIFS and NFS support
• WireGuard support
• Option to disable fsync
• Pass SafetyNet

Wow, is it so hard to read OP ? it is clearly stated it is broken atm

 

[Reuben_skelz92]

Whoop. Great rom. Thanks for making it official

 

[sruel3216]

Wow, is it so hard to read OP ? it is clearly stated it is broken atm

Wow I didnr see it...the OP is big and I was reading while getting ready for work at 6am. Chill out.

And listing "Fingerprint authentication on boot and fingerprint toggles"makes it confusing as features

yeah those are leftovers from op3. rom works on multiple devices so toggles are there. They will work again once we get FP working but its not quite there yet. Would think soon though.

Does the theme engine theme third party apps too?

 

[zachchen1996]

Thanks so much guys, ROM is running great!

Hi everyone.

I had the pleasure to be in the beta testing channel on Telegram for SkyDragon OS and first of all thanks to devs for offering us this little piece of art, for using their skills, time and to be so kind and nice to chat with.

There's a lot to say, but few words are needed.

This ROM is fast, smooth, snappy, stable, equipped with useful feature without fancy and battery draining stuff. Rock solid. Bundled with HolyDragon kernel it offers the right balance between performance and battery time. You can always adjust what you want using HDK modded adiutor app, but I bet you won't need.

Only a few minor adjustments left and it could be almost perfect, IMHO.

Before this I flashed all the flashable, but this is my daily driver since beta testing started, roughly one month ago. In the meantime a lot of new roms went out here on XDA, but I never felt the need to switch again.

Everyone should happily flash SkyDragon OS on his fajita device with no worries.

Please consider donating to devs: I've already done it.

 

[HolyAngel]

Does the theme engine theme third party apps too?

No it does not

Great job guys ??
