[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] Resurrection Remix v6.0.0 [8.1.0]

Resurrection Remix Oreo

It should go without saying, but do not lock your bootloader with this installed. You must be 100% stock, I'd suggest on both slots, in order to re-lock your bootloader. Doing otherwise will likely lead to a brick that Essential really shouldn't warranty.

General Information

*Play Store keeps hanging up on restoring apps? A reset starts the restore again, but hangs up after a few apps are installed.

A)You need to force stop the play store app in setting, and then open it again

Build 3 Notes
with april security patch and bug fixes released
Flash nutrino kernel for best performance

ALSO Even though gapps are included in the build they dont work for some reason on dirty flashing
So Also download the gapps i have included in the OP and flash right after the rom without reboot

If you have any random user app fcs
uninstall the app and redownload from playstore

Enjoy!!

This is the build i tested
It does not include gaaps

I built gaaps into the rom for todays built but i guess something got messed up

Keeping this rom as experimental for now until i remember how i flashed gaaps with the current build

 

[Ashwin Prabhunerurkar]

Guys who try the New build without gaaps do not flash gaaps for now and let me know if this build boots
