SPECIAL THANKS

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.


[B]Thanks /credits[/B]
@Shahan_mik3 and @@vasishath for their hard work on this device.
A huge thanks to @Venu_GopalU who helped me immeasurable help in building this ROM without which it was legit impossible.​

Kernel Link :Kernel Tree The entire credits for the kernel goes to @MIguelNdeCarvalho and @AxelBlaz3 for the codex kernel who let me use them

REMINDER

If you're having issues and want to submit a report (Logcat) please make sure you are reporting from the stock kernel, not a modified kernel. Modified kernels can break or fix, even improve things. It depends. I can't get a full clue of the issue when you're not running the original kernel.
Your bug report MUST contain the following information
Code:
Phone Informations
*Candy OS version
* Gapps version
What you did:
* Wipe data: y/n
* Upgrade from previous unofficial candy build: y/n
* Restore with titanium backup: y/n
You're using (if yes write which one) :
* Task killer
* Phone cleaner / Battery enhancer apps
* Non-stock kernel
* Modified kernel settings
* Other mods
Bug info:
Along with that IT MUST contain log files. if you don't know how to take them then follow th[URL="paypal.me/AyanC1"][URL="paypal.me/AyanC1"]i[/URL]s[/URL]


If it is a random reboot, grab kmsg/dmesg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
google how to do it!!!


Lastly if you like my work and if you think i should be doing more kindly donate to me. ALl money will be gone to servers and investing in projects!! :)

We'll many people may ask me why did I add a gcam when there's so much to choose from. The simple answer is I did it for users who want to use their ROMs without thinking much. This version of gcam is bound to work flawlessly with the given settings. Users can uninstall using titanium back-up. This is done just so that users don't need to waste time finding the correct gcam and all.

I'm just gonna go ahead and request some features which all other ROM developers are "too proud" to add and it breaks "Stability" it seems.
-Android P recent
-Round UI like P
-WORKING edge gestures
-Fingerprint gesture (tap only)
Again..its totally your wish if you wanna add these I've just put out a request on behalf of people.
