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.

Android File Host

GAPPS:
NOTE: You need to use GApps that are compatible with your Android version (8.0, 8.1,etc.).
Open GApps

Coming from another rom
1) Download Candy8.zip
2) Download Oreo Gapps
3) Boot into recovery (TWRP)
4) Full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)
5) Flash Candy8.zip
6) Flash Gapps

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...


-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.

Thanks for the reply, but magisk is also not working, magisk zip files are not flashing in twrp and ending with errors.
