Maybe when I finally fix the bugs this ROM has.

I will try to figure out what makes the camera so laggy when taking a pic when I have enough time again
Just make Footej the default. It's pretty flawless for me but I'm not a heavy user of camera.

Hello Simon, does the Always on Display work properly? On LineageOS, the brightness is much too low.

It's pretty much the same as LOS. Doesn't bother me, but there is an app from the Play Store that works amazingly well...Always On Edge. Just disable the default display and install AOE. Done

Been using this since it was released.

Bugs are present and are the same as LOS - that will always be the case as the ROM is based on LineageOS.

I use Footej camera instead of stock because the stock camera crops photos and will not save to SD card.

Some micro lags when scrolling but this is a LOS bug.

I'll try the update. One issue I noticed on the previous version was that anytime I tried to play any youtube/spotify/music player etc. from my speakers, it would randomly just cut out and not play audio anymore. Opening another app the sound returns but then cuts out again after a while (seems to be hit or miss on games).. Might just be my phone, but this is the first rom that's ever happened on. Headphones work completely fine. Short of that, great rom!

Anyone having the same issue?

Cant seem to reproduce this but you should try out a clean flash of the ROM.

I also noticed a bug related to hotspot.
On my device, devices that are connected to the hotspot dont have internet access. May be a bug that only occours on my device. Will try to fix this with the next build.

I will test hotspot when I get home.

I tested and internet is working on connected devices for me.

Yes, but i dirty flashed the new build over the old one, could that be the issue?

Could be. But, I dirty flashed and it's perfect for me

Best thing to do is a clean flash but first...use Migrate to save all your important stuff. Your data can then be reflashed later when you clean flash your new ROM and GAPPS

Test and report back

Any questions before you do this, please post and we'll help.

I've tried this ROM since yesterday, battery life is very good. Question though, I couldn't get Android Auto to work. My Volkswagen Polo says that the connection has been cancelled. Any idea's? On the LineageOS Nightly from the day before yesterday it worked without any problems.

    Sorry for the lack of support for this ROM.
