[ROM][SP:Aug] Descendant 4.0.0 for Xiaomi Mi A1

[Dil3mm4]

Descendant is a customised Android that aims to add useful tweaks over Android 9 focusing on system's stability.

All the builds can be found here.
And here's the splash image too.

Flash the zip via your recovery doing the expected wipes (data, system, cache).

I actually can't list all the additions.
It would be a huge wall of text, that every user would probably not even read.
So, check it out with your own eyes in our gallery and in our blog.

Preloaded applications
This ROM has GApps built-in, tho this may change in next updates.
Also, I'm currently shipping:
-Kiwi browser
-Camera roll
-AmazeFileManager
-Phonograph

None found till now.

Having a bug or not booting for whatever reason?
Look for "How to report bugs" on this post.
Bug reports without logs will be ignored.

1)Gapps included included gapps have no specific type like open gapps but you can assume it as stock as aosp apps are replaced by google apps but still no other bloatware comes (like chrome drive and other google apps)

2)firmware is latest so yea 10.0.7 k

3)ofcurse why not ?

Failed encryption bug

Yes, i can confirm that. Please solve

 

[Dil3mm4]

Yes, i can confirm that. Please solve

This is your fault.
Descendant it's running flawlessly and encryption doesn't depend on the ROM itself, but on the device status (since that's the first flash).
If you can't comply with simple formatting data instructions that's none of my business.
Please, attend to what I've typed out.

Thanks.

There is a bug I tried many times. Try to format system, data as well internal storage but bug is still there. Ruined my phone now unable to boot and storage is formatted. All the backups are formatted and phone is stuck there.Kindly check it again

@Dil3mm4 Plz give a proper guide to flash and remove encryption in order to boot the ROM .

 

[Jason Looi]

My take on this rom.

Install rom (advance wipe) reboot, all ok.

1. File manager crash in setting " show internal storage "

2. Incoming call no call screen, blank ! Only ringing tone.

Reboot, same error. Revert back to crDroid.

Sorry, i think you must do more before releasing a status "stable" rom.

add fm radio please

I can confirm the first thing.
But the 2nd one have an easy fix
I think that's the most disappointing thing for u to revert back to crdroid

The calls not showing is because
Phone app is not selected as default app in app settings
I just fixed it by doing it
I know it's an error
But don actually blame without knowing enough
Developer was working hard to create this ROM
And I can see good results here.
It's different from other roms.and it's really nice
Do appreciate good things also
And if we except file manager bug
This is an wonderful stable ROM
Even we have another good file manager!
