Man, this build is so snappy. I switched to an S8 from my Sony Xperia XA2 and this ROM is blazingly fast in comparison. (Granted, the CPU is also a little better.)

The only thing I miss a bit is the night mode quick setting:

I used it to switch the blue color filtering on and off on the fly. Is that device-specific?

Gapps don't work for me. I tried MinMicroG and I have df-dferh-01 error. After flashing NikGapps I can't finish first boot configuration. After flashing Gapps I have bootloop

    Feel free to join telegram group with early builds progress updates and some off topic stuff Join

    Due to requests from some users I added signature spoofing support to the rom which allows usage of MicroG
    you can simply install MinMicroG and grant it needed permissions for signature spoofing to make it work as intended

    Big thanks to everyone who supported this project as their donations help cover the build server cost
    also we are almost there with android 12 just sensor hal left to finish up as it was causing some random crashes
    16
    Here is a little teaser of a12 on s8
    Builds for 8895 based devices are almost ready (I posted 8890/s7 builds yesterday) I just have to figure out race condition in ril which causes it to break randomly on reboot, when it comes to general usability everything else is as stable as it was previously and android 12 actually runs faster even on older devies like s7 and s8/n8
    Builds should be up this week finally as this is last thing on todo list and i took a day off to figure it out
