- Is magisk working or howto root?
- Where are the source code?
- Are gapps included?
- Is front and rear camera working?

Thank you!

Unlocked bootloader and had my first go with playing with the h9.
Magisk install was straightforward enough, no real instructions just found 368 ramdisk and patched that and fastboot flashed it.
Gapps is baked in
OTA don't know.
Camera is not that reliable with huawei camera and standard camera which is a pity. Currently trying some carmera from the play store and am having better results

Thanks. Perhaps you can try this camera for huawai treble devices: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr.../huawei-stock-camera-app-treble-roms-t3735169

OTA is not so important, but a nice addon.
@OldDroid Any reasons why the source code is not public?

Hi,
i installed the rr beta 2 rom yesterday. Camera works for me. No problems yet. OTA is not available, but that no big problem.
I disabled the softkeys, but found no settings to configure the hardware keys. Default settings are:
left key: back
right key: recent apps
middle key(fingerprint sensor): nothing
How can i change the hardware key settings?

Then i noticed that wlan sometimes automatically disable if screen turns off.

Just flashed RROS Beta 2 and play store wasn't installing any apps. I restarted my phone to see if it would fix the issue and now i'm stuck with "android is loading" with a loading bar. Anyone else had this issue?

Yes. I had it. Problems is, that no launcher app (trebuchet for example) is set and in my case i couldn't set it because the list was empty.
Try to swipe from top and enter settings and set start app. If your list is empty too, only factory reset helps for me.

I just installed LOS instead. Everything is fine now except no NFC

Hi,
@OldDroid or others :)
The changelog for RR beta 3 says:
added better support for H9 hw keys, the fps gestures now match up with emui gesture behaviour by default – long press fps: assistant – short press: home
but the middle hardware key (fingerprint sensor) doesn't work for home or assistant. If touch nothing happens. Is this a bug or i missed a configuration?
Thank you

they should work, make sure you enabled FPS gestures under Settings -> System -> OpenKirin
Thank you! Now it works as expected. You should enabled it by default and/or make it searchable by the settings search box :D

The only think i noticed that wifi sometimes disconnects if screen is off. If screen is turned on you can see wifi connects again.

After a major derp with Magisk on my previous Rom, and since I had to reset my whole device, decided to give your RRO a spin. I must say, great job.
Smooth, fast, with all the customizations RR has to offer without added weight.
And it runs beautifully well with my kernel I must say. Thank you!

Stock camera works just as good as in EMUI for photos, video shooting still needs to be fixed. Only AOSP camera can shoot video and in some cases the video does not get saved.
Other than that, NFC needs fixing and one or two more minor things i guess.
