ATTENTION:
After 22nd October update. We need to move to Stock Oreo firmware base!!
If you dont, Fingerprint and NFC will not work!

For those who just need to use Fingerprint Firmware Update can flash this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904029635
I would suggest going full stock to have everything proper.


Frequent / Common Question and Answers

Question: Is this rom based on AOSP or Lineage?
Answer: It is based on AOSP ( https://android.googlesource.com/ ). Also, keep in mind that all android roms are based on AOSP itself.

Question: Does this rom support VoLTE?
Answer: Well, yes it does. It works fine for Jio IND. I don't know about other VoLTE providers.
Keep in mind that, Many Potter users face efs, persist issues when they come from Stock ROM to customs etc, always keep a backup of efs and persist

Question: Google Camera is force closing in this rom?
Answer: Google Camera from Stock/Aroma etc GApps will not work, we need Google Camera Mod. If Google Camera Mod is crashing then you need GApps as GCam depends upon Google Play Services/Frameworks
Also, the recommended GCam app is: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ar...ter/GCam-Minimal-Mod-jhenrique09.apk/download

Question: Can I dirty Flash the new update?
Answer: Yes, you can dirty flash the new updates as many times as you like unless the OP explicitly says to CLEAN FLASH

Question: Which TWRP should i use to flash this ROM?
Answer: The latest available in twrp.me website

Question: Is this rom support MicroG / Signature spoofing?
Answer: Yes, it does.

I don't think that works in any rom, its broken in all other custom Pie devices too
The wireless display thing, you cant cast the whole phone but Chromecasting or any specific app casting works
[As of 20th September 2018]
update: The support for WFD is added back, but won't work as flawlessly as it did in Oreo

Question: Hi I am facing this bug, please solve it
Answer: No, please include logs and tell me how to reproduce the same bug

Question: I am using this Custom Kernel, and I have this and this issue, please help me?
Answer: Well, you can use any custom kernel you want, but the bugs you face after that I won't care looking at them because most probably the stock kernel doesn't have them.

Question: Please suggest me the best kernel for this rom?
Answer: I would say the default kernel! or try and stick to the one which suits you.

Go to TWRP, wipe, format data and type yes... this will delete your internal storage make a backup!

VoLTE fix for all Pie based ROMs. (Don't use it on GSIs/Treble ROMs)

• Only for Moto G5 Plus

Download From Here

It is universal , can be flashed on all Pie ROMs , It is a temporary fix for now, you will not see any HD/VoLTE icon after using this fix. To check if it works , call anyone.

Great work dev , ROM working smoothly every thing of my use is working perfectly ... The only thing missing is swipe up for home gesture waiting for that to be added soon ... Thanks for your work man Highly appreciated ... ?

I notoced the charging with turbo charger is soooo slow in comparison to 8.1! Also it has been sitting on 59% with battery saver for about 40 minutes of video play, i don't know if this is a bug or the battery on Pie is phenomenal!!
Also there is some text that isn't translated from english (i'm spanish) such as the reboot in power menu and some parts of the settings app, the rest is all good!
