[ROM] [SP:August] Descendant 4.0.0 for Pixel 3a

[johngalt1]

Descendant is a customised Android that aims to add useful tweaks over Android 9.
We didn't fill the system with tons of features. We think less is more.

• Wipe data unless willing to risk bugs
• Flash in TWRP (don't flash gapps unless you want bugs -- pixel gapps are included)
• Flash twrp zip and/or magisk if desired.
• Reboot and enjoy

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
Pixel Gapps (from DU)

This ROM is excellent. Love the different take on Android (qs, volume sliders, power button..).

No, but it's included with a big thanks to his work.


Edit: if anyone has issues with calendar sync, open up Google calendar (not aosp calendar), and then syncing will work. This will be fixed in the next release.

Does call screening have any problems with this rom? Also, can you make the brightness slider on the notification dropdown disappear?

 

[catharsis724]

Okay super confused as to why even after disabling vibration for plug/unplug I'm still getting vibrations. This is pretty annoying because i use ACC and when it cycles 90s on, 10s, i get the buzz every single time.

No, call screening is working here. No way to remove it and probably won't be a way.

You're right, I'll figure it out.

You can have an option to remove the brightness slider on the dropdown,,,most roms do this. Love the rom though!

My point was it won't happen in descendant -- it's absolutely possible.

 

[Archangel]

No worries thats cool, your rom.
