Installed (dirty flashed on rr 5.8.5) with magisk 16 - working well.

dropped the phone and cracked the screen within five mins of installing it - but I am fairly positive that's unrelated to this rom's merits :D

Is this better than rr 5.8.5?
Which features does it have that rr does not?
This list includes the most relevant changes:

- January security patches merged
- February security patches merged
- Atom kernel v1.5 has been included
- New bootanimation
- General rebranding
- The Lawnchair launcher and Lawnfeed have been included
- MagiskManager has been updated to v5.6.1
- Adaway generated hosts file has been included so it's not necessary to install the app (it will be updated in a monthly basis). So no ads will be shown all along the system
- RR stats has been removed
- CM file manager has been removed

So basically this is resurrection remix with custom kernel? You removed things that are related to RR brand and claimed it new custom rom?

RR nougat is dead. Lineage 14.1 is dead. This is RR on top of NutOS and a different kernel. What's wrong about giving it a different name?

The guy is taking the time to merge security patches, build the rom and share it with the community. He could do just the same and keep it for himself.

He never said he invented the wheel. In the end, this is the spirit of open source software.

I cannot find Lawnchair launcher after dirty flashing it on Z008. An boot animation is all black screen now.
Thanks for the update .

Actually it's not a new custom ROM at all. The Android world is dancing around Oreo and we are stuck on Nougat. So this is an old ROM which I'm trying to keep alive with a lot of effort.

I'm not even a software developer and I'm not claiming anything. As I said many times on the RR thread, I'm just a builder and I enjoy sharing what I do with the community.

FYI, the Oreo branch of the RR repository is not getting any new commits. The idea of this project is to start using NutOS as a base but in a progresive way to avoid making the os become unstable.

I hope my explanation was clear enough.

Please, feel free to keep sending me private messages asking for help. I will be delighted to keep answering you.

Best regards ;)

I missed to push one commit before the initial build, that's why Lawnchair is missing. You can get it on the Playstore or wait until the next nightly.

Regarding to the bootanimation, it's a known bug. I'll solve it in the following days.

I'm experiencing distorted sound from my rear speaker since I installed RR unofficial build back when official support has been ended. I thought update may fix this problem but distortion in the sound is more now. Can anyone help me to fix this problem.No sound mod is installed.

AFAIK it's not a known software issue, for sure. Could it be hardware related? Try installing stock to check if the problem is still there.

    THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. ALL PEOPLE AROUND PAY HEED.
    In the past I have received about 12 PMs about Oreo support & I have usually said that once my exams are done I would try.

    It turns out that the device specific sources for Oreo were TAKEN DOWN BY LINEAGE as they were work in progress for Oreo when they went official.

    THEREFORE THERE WILL BE NO OREO FOR THIS PHONE.

    I will however keep improving N & maintaining it.
    RR has made a comeback. AICP as well. We are rebuilding this community rom by rom. But N is the latest version we can have.

    RIGHT NOW, my plan is to update the kernel to 4.4 & update our specific graphics drivers to the stock MM. This would mean long term support for this phone. Effectively keeping it secure till maybe 2020, or whenever Google stops releasing patches for N.

    THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT
    It should have ended differently.
    17
    Finally we have the new GA version based on NutOS. We should all thank @nutcasev1.5 whose hard work is now part of the rom.

    Rom improvements
    Better ril strength & reduced ril drain
    Better data speeds
    O3/Ofast code optimization ( performance )
    Better media recording (AAC) & microphone performance
    GPS latency enhancements
    Seccomp ( performance when playing media )
    Much Better Doze ( idle )
    Autobrightness sensitivity fix
    Better Memory management

    Kernel (Hololite)
    Updated to Linux 108 in reference to atom's 72 ( security )
    Uses latest 7.2 TC ( efficiency )
    GPU UV ( Better Thermals )
    Lots of under the hood efficiency & battery tweaks
    NTFS, EXFAT OTG support
    Wireguard support

    Please remember that this new build must be clean flashed, otherwise it will mess things up.

    Enjoy!

    PS: Z00D is built upon Lineage Kernel, not Hololite
