Thoughts on Oreo...

I've got a new build I've been running since Friday and aside of 3 random reboots that I can't seem to duplicate, it runs very well. 2 of the reboots were right after a hand off from wifi to LTE, but the 3rd happened when I was sitting at home on wifi all day so I really have no idea. If it happens to you, would you mind letting me know what you were doing when it happened?

Since I couldn't find a gapps package that would reliably allow a dirty flash over my previous builds, I've temporarily included the full/stock package in the build. Yes, it makes the rom huge, but dirty flashes work like a charm.

This is a personal build I've been running for a bit. NFC switch is a bit funny but eventually turns on and off. I have added a couple of minor features in settings and in launcher. No need for gapps like the build above. I've tossed the idea of opening a thread just not sure yet. Enjoy. Link

Hi. I've tested your ROM and it works very well, but I have a problem for install/update the apps from the play store. Sounds like of Play services , but I'm unable to update this from apk. How to resolve this? Thanks for your work!
Hey I am on the same build
Had the same issue [wasn't able to update/install apps it showed error 924]
do the following:
  • Goto Settings>Apps>
  • Press menu button > Show System apps
  • Delete cache and data of Google Play Store, Downloads, Download manager and Google Play Services[cache only]

Then try again to update apps, Worked for me!

Thanks to the developer for this awesome build :')
One question: My battery saver toggle in both the quick settings and in the settings is disabled, any idea why?

Oh yeah, I forgot about the play store thing. I have no idea what's up with that, I suspect it's something with opengapps, but for me all I have to do is force stop the play store, re-open it, and it'll start working.

As for the battery saver toggle, I'm not sure. It works on mine. Anyone else have that issue?

I suppose I should probably create my own thread in one of the ROM areas. Does anyone know if I should use original or just regular?

I tried your rom and liked that it only uses Google apps and no aosp ones at all.

About the Playstore issue
I suspect it could be because of one thing that i noticed:
If WiFi is ON and connected and I reboot my device then after it boots up the WiFi is Turned off and I need to manually turn it on again
Error 924 basically means that there's no Wifi connectivity for playstore.

Try looking into the wifi issue that should solve the playstore problem as well i guess.

Battery saver issue is now fixed .. I don't know how maybe a few reboots fixed it.

Love your build :good: I also like it that use use Google Apps instead of the AOSP ones, Keep up the good work:good:

AS for opening your own thread.... I am not pointing out any users but recently the S.i.X rom thread was closed
for some reason people just start fighting or keep asking for ETAs or to add more features/fixes.
If you're okay with handling that kinda stuff then go for it! :)
else you can keep posting here or maybe some other platform till you think its perfect and then just post the final build in a thread
