[ROM][Wifi+3G+TMobile][Feb 28] Omni 5.0.2

Summarized Standard Disclaimer: use at your own risk. I use it at mine
*Full wipe recommended if coming from another rom due do the settings database varying and no way to make them compatible*
My personal Omni Rom 5.0 is based on omnirom with the following additions:
CM12 File Manager
CM11 ssh terminal commands
Bash shell
Nano text editor
Koush's full featured open source superuser integrated into settings***(see potential quirk)
Cyanogenmod custom host name
Cyanogenmod screen off volume key long press music control
The list of personal touches isn't very long right now but they include
Battery percent displayed next to battery icon
Battery icon changes color based on percent: 0-15 red, 16-50 yellow, 51-100 green
Disabled lock screen full screen music.
Disabled SELinux at the kernel
Up to 1.6GHz CPU OC
Automatic 400MHz GPU OC
Not Working/Quirky
Bluetooth audio
Mic can be quirky.
Stock camera (not included) would crash on camera change, photo/video change. Try this open source alternative instead. Full featured, nice and fast.
AOSP keyboard swipe doesn't work: google's fault.
Cellular data probably doesn't work. phone call audio doesn't work. The rest is reported ok.
Flashing SuperSU might cause issues since the su daemon is started by the ram disk script since boot scripts apparently don't work.
Plugging in a charger when turned off causes the tablet to turn on with the touch screen disabled.
Everything else not listed as a quirk probably works.

FAQ:
OMFFFFFFG: insane boot loop 10 seconds after lock screen: install any rom from the year 2015.
Missing gapps: remember to reflash after every rom.
Adblock hosts stopped working: remember to reapply ad block hosts after ever flash.
Google maps 9+ doesn't work due to an illegal instruction exception. No practical way to fix it. Install google maps 8.4 it works now. Make sure you use the latest google maps.
No keyboard: Settings --> Language & Input --> Current Keyboard --> Hardware (show input method) turn this on.
AOSP swipe doesn't work: apparently google removed these lines of code from aosp keyboard.
Launcher 3 crashes on boot since Feb 8 build: I switched to CM's launcher since it has some customizability. Go to /data/data/com.android.launcher3 FROM RECOVERY and erase this folder.

THIS IS A TEST ROM. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT
For those of you who are itching to try the android 5.1 build I've done some basic quick testing and I like how it's going. The chromium bug I got this afternoon seems to be taken care of with 2 commits. Look at them if you want to know the secret
Installation Instructions (may not be complete as I've installed a lot of zip files. Please try and fill in the missing holes as the rom does install and boot)
Reboot recovery
Wipe data
Format system
RE reboot into recovery
install rom
install my recommended android 5.0 gapps (have heard issues using others but not tried it myself)
try it out
report the bugs
What works: everything thing that worked in 5.0 should continue working.
The camera app has a bit of a "confidence" problem. It will crash on switching to front/back photo/video but if you open it again it will do what you wanted. Sometimes it doesn't crash. Give the camera app patience.

Great news. Downloading asap.
Is just enough to have WiFi on, or it must also connect to some network to avoid bootloop? I'm concerned what happens if I turn it on in the desert where there's no Wi-Fi whatsoever?

Hi.For p4 expected? Thanks.

Just on. No connection necessary. You can also feel free to turn it off after a few minutes of just being on. Just remember to turn it back on before a reboot or weekly flash.

Well in that case try using the new twrp 2.8.1.0 I just posted. I used that later on in the testing of flashing the rom. It's in the first page instructions under first time flashing. I added a link to the new recovery.

Can't download twrp2810-wifi.zip from mediafire, always only download 2m then interrupted.
Anybody who can send me a twrp2810-wifi.zip, my email is
[email protected]
Thank you very much!

mediafire failing to download any file I try to download from it
Can't download twrp2810-wifi.zip from mediafire , I am having a problem too with mediafire, each time I click on download , it refreshes loops the download page, no file is able to access, I think it has something to do with our ISP, we moved into a place that you can only use hughesnet to access the web, I can't get DSL from the house my parents got etc.. , I tried the cleaning the cache like this page
http://topkpop.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/solution-for-mediafire-continuous-refresh-download-problem/
it says that removing cookies fixies this but it is not , still failing to access any files off of mediafire, I was able to create a mediafire account , and download their desktop software, but can't get files like from your links to work, it seems , I have tried internet explorer, firefox, and google chrome, each browser doesn't want to let me download etc to save the file, The only thing I have yet to try is use my android tablet to access the links, I don't no if mediafire will work right or not over my android, if my download pc doesn't download it, from my wireless network ,
my android tablet also can't access the files. I just tried to download twrp2810-wifi.zip from mediafire off of browser on android , when you click download it keeps looping and freshing the page, but what it doesn't do is download, I am in US, CA so it shouldn't be blocking me from downloading files, not sure why this seems to be happening, it was not a problem with our old isp before me moved etc..
I don't no if this explains it, but on android , when click download it reloads this page"http://www.mediafire.com/download/6hc9ws7sd96j3nn", instead of this "http://www.mediafire.com/download/6hc9ws7sd96j3nn/twrp2810-wifi.zip" I been tried to click download over and over , even the repair download thing, doesn't do anything , after clicking on download a few, times I got that message.
I am able to use
Downloads
Mediafire folder
Click on the files, and use the copy to my accounts folder option, which sync it to the desktop software, that feature is working for me, just not mediafire download pages
anyway can you give me access to the folder, that has Flash file TWRP 2.8.1.0, since then I could click the copy feature of mediafire, and transfer it to my account on mediafire, and it will download and sync the file to my folder on my computer, thats the only way or simplist way to get passed that looping on download page problem, or maybe copy the file into your mediafire folder if that also possible I hope,
don't have to have the newest version to flash right away , but it would be nice if I was able to access it, to flash anyway, I still got the 2.7 version of twrp, after using android 4.4.4 nameless etc.. before I got problems with mediafire from my web browser problem, and access to cwm boot flash manager too, which I found files on the web for flashing with touch screen option, while browsing the forums here
attached downloads will download no problem, and other websites besides mediafire will also work just fine for me, since it seems to be a mediafire download page problem only bug,
also talking about bugs, does this rom have that power on charging , bug like the rom [AOSP] Android 5.0.0 Lollipop (LRX21V) has?
"Whenever I try to charge the tab while it's turned off, it boots up. Is this a new feature of Android 5.0? Also it doesn't respond to touches. " , on its last page I read that its a new feature of the android 5.0 based on aosp rom, it reads " It turns out there is a new feature in Lollipop to boot from charger but it is not enabled by default. It is only for one specific device at the moment. I reverted the code anyways but the problem still exists. So the issue lies deeper some where." , source information can be found here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-5-0-0-lollipop-lrx21m-p4wifi-t2938870/page17
if this rom doesn't have that problem, maybe something can be learned from it , to fix the bug in the other rom, since our tablets , don't like that feature, since it locks up our tablets touchscreen from doing anything but hard rebooting them etc.. when plugged into power when in off mode etc...

Was able to download TWRP and gapps just fine but the ReCaptcha you have to complete in order to download the ROM won't load a picture. I have tried on my tablet, phone and computer... Able to pass a ReCaptcha on other pages just fine, clearly an issue with this specific download page. Anyone else having this issue?

I know its still early development for 5.0 rom versions of android 5.0, do you guys know why scummvm version 1.7.0 release will not download and install, it keeps failing to download for me on android 5.0, from google play website, also the development version 1.8.0 direct from scummvm will install but crashes on play, off of http://scummvm.org/
I know that scummvm app, worked for android 4.4.4 nameless rom, I used it under that android before, never crashed that I can remember, I hope as android 5.0 builds makes progress that whatever causing it to crash gets fixed. I am not sure if its something that needs to be fixed in the android os system of 5.0, or if its something that needs fixing in the scummvm app, that causes it to crash under android 5.0, maybe future development builds of scummvm will fix the crashing under android 5.0.
and below a fix to the charging bug I think its a fix I have yet to test it from this page, since both our based on android 5.0 I am guessing that these files will fix booting on both

Charging mode should be working now although there are still some issues to be ironed out. Note(!) that ADB is running in while in charger mode. I haven't figured out why yet.
It only requires an update to the boot partition. Flash and reboot.

bootimg-p4wifi-lp-20141125.zip
The problem is that Samsung did not follow the Android method of booting into charger mode. With Android 5.0 this method of booting is not working. So I ported it to work with the Android method. Which means it is booting slightly differently than the old charger mode.
Someone others mentioned issues with overclocking. I have not had a chance to look into this yet.

Omni 5.0 p4wifi Nov 23
Re scumm vm... Could it be dalvik vs ART? I have done very little research.. Just know that xposed -framework- (and most modules?) require dalvik.. Put another way, not (yet?) compatible with ART
5.0 has no option for dalvik, whereas 4.4.4 can do both
One possible test: reflash 4.4.4, switch to ART, then see if scumm works?
Or if I am off base, hopefully someone else will chime in...

I never tried the android 4.4.4 under art, so maybe it would of crashed scummvm too , I don't no if its compatable with art maybe thats why, also I did want to note , that unlike the AOSP android 5.0 rom, in this one, google now launcher seems to crash , but I didn't notice crashing in the other android 5.0 , is it because it has had more time to fix the bugs in the os system, since Omni 5.0 p4wifi is a newer rom? I am correct or is their something that needs to be fixed in google now launcher or the build of the rom?

Broken SFOS 3.0.0.8 Build - Let's get to work!

Current build does not work! - That's okay, my shiny (used) nexus 5 arrives soon, and I can get dmesg and stuff and see what is wrong. Pretty sure it is the kernel config, which sucks but hopefully logcat and dmesg will make this fix easy.
If you are really thirsty for a 3.0 build try this out: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=99377
It wasn't built by me, and I will keep trying to get a hybris12.1 version to work for aliendalvik and videorecording reasons, but that one is entirely stable besides the video stuff.
It's hot, it's fresh, it's entirely untested because my Nexus 5 broke and a new one won't be in the mail until the end of this week, but I figured, why not upload it and share?
I just want to know if it boots at all. It's Sailfish OS 3.0.0.8, based off of Hybris-12.1, and is just a standard vanilla image. That means no Gstreamer (camera will be a potato, assuming it even works), no audoflinger, minimal patching (if it boots up it'll be VERY buggy), and since it's using 2.0 sources with minimal changes, I'd be surprised if it boots at all without some configs changed.
But, never the less, what's the worst this can do? Waste 10 minutes of your time? Sailfish OS only exists on /data so it won't brick your device. I mean, it might but that'd be so rare it's funny.
How to flash:
Sailfish OS requires an android base for the HAL. Basically, you flash whatever the base is meant to be (in this case CM12.1), and dirty flash the matching rootfs over it (in this case Sailfish OS 3.x).
1. Wipe everything except for internal storage. I don't care if you are already running CM12.1, wipe your device first.
2. Base (flash this first): http://sources.vsta.org/sailfish/cm-12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO237-hammerhead.zip
3. Rootfs (Dirty flash this right over the base): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ku_UD7G73_Xj1hFM5D-Zd_K5fhHaiP8j
4. Reboot
5. Wait 5-10 minutes, if it sits at the boot logo or blank screen after 10 minutes, hard power off, reboot again, and wait one more time. If it still won't boot up tell me so I can prepare to debug this when my Nexus 5 comes in the mail.
I want to make this totally clear: This is COMPLETELY untested!!! - I just need to know 2 things: Does it boot up? If so, how many things work?

Tried flashing twice, stuck on boot logo. Willing to test any other builds you release. Running offical SFOS 3.0.0.8 on Xperia x, will be cool to see it on nexus 5

Well that's good to know ahead of time. I need my Nexus 5 to come in the mail before I can really test anything. Hopefully it's just a small error.

Thank you for the separate this from the other pie roms.
I will flash it after I arrive home.
Thank you all for the hard work!
Sent from my kagura using XDA Labs

I'm loving the fact Omnipie is official. I will be flashing this right now. Thank you so much.

Finally flashed! been using it for less than an hour, i can say that its definitely good for daily use. Camera seems better and hasnt crashed yet (like it use to), mic actually picks up audio properly, brightness slider is finally proportional to the brightness level, and its pie
however, the stereo speaker seems to muffle at high volumes (especially with the ringtones and less with youtube, but still a little prevelent), app opening times seem a little longer than 8.1, and 120HZ still doesnt work
im also curious why the linked odm isnt the latest one (im pretty sure the latest is 1st march not feb)
anyways, thanks dev! (may be editing this thread after more use for battery etc)

Ah, your correct it does say 8.1 my bad

opps

I saw this version from delta updater (using 8.1 omni) and immediately downloaded flashed oem for pie and downloaded omni 9 but it stucked new omni animated logo. Waited like 10 minutes but nothing happened then rebooted phone but same thing happened. Should i wait more or something went wrong?

Im here with OmniROM freshly flashed trough Open Delta.
I have some problems. First boot never ends, BUT restart worked for me but I have another problem.
Now I need 10 min to unlock the phone when Im lucky.
I unlock with the code and then its instantly relock and it say I cant use fingerprint for first unlock, so I use code again and not work again and still can't use fingerprint.
I do this A LOT OF TIME before I can use my phone. Sometimes it helps sometimes not if I not unlock my phone but use corner dial icon first and then if its ask for code i use it and then I got SystemUI crash error again and again and again.
As I said I try to repeat this methods for like 10 min after every restart. I tried to delete some maybe not compatible apps with this new update but still nothing. Now I will remove some Magisk modules. I will write again.

you need to do a full wipe before upgrading to p

Just as @oshmoun said; before flashing new ROMs, it's imperative to do full wipe (if you don't want to lose all your data, then do a full backup in TWRP), as flashing without full wiping can cause TONS of problems. Don't be lazy and follow the instructions properly.

I used the same rom before but the last update. I updated through OpenDelta.

Hello !
It's cool to see our XZ is alive !
I have some problems with this rom after a full wipe and update to oem V6 :
- no sounds during calls, no mic, no earphone, no sounds on speaker
- Magisk 18.1 not working
- With official camera app, while using the flash, only the autofocus led is lit, the second and much powerful led is never triggered resulting on dark shots
For now that's all
Thx

Performance is somewhat distressed and the camera does not work for the sound is not working after restarting the device is improving

you cant do that. its pretty misleading having it available on that opendelta ota thingy. you have to follow the instructions in this thread

Flashed data, cache and dalvik, factory reset. And installed latest nightly with gapps and magisk 18.1.
Only reason I did it this way is because I was on a unofficial build on Omni. Everything is working as it should. Very snappy and no lag. Still have to see how the ROM handles after it's settled for a couple day, but right off the bat it's amazing. Thank you very much Dev, and happy to see you back on XDA.

Why this ROM showed up as an update then?
I just don't understand it.
Nevermind this is my main and only phone and I work 4 days straight before I can use my PC so I need to use this ROM buggy for me. :/

You need a PC to flash this. Follow all steps in order and it'll work. Always remember, unless you have a messaging app that backups texts, you will lose them flashing a cfw. Always always backup anything you don't want to lose.
---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------
I've had a reoccurring issue on the unofficial and official builds so far. I do not have the option to use my phone when calling unless speaker phone or a Bluetooth headset. I cannot put the phone to my head and use normally. Is there any kind of option to fix this nuisance. Any feedback is truly appreciated

Every 9.0 ROM I ever flash, I always seem to have the same problem. Whether its dirty flashing, or starting with flashtool, to CMD, and then to TWRP, the same problem seems to happen. After the ROM has settled, audio quality through calls becomes a huge problem. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but it has been a persistent bug, next chance I get for the next nightly ill send a logcat, kinda cant not since back on stock. I need good call quality for work lol. Either way, thank you for bringing OMNI to 9.0 official

anyone having problems with video playback? videos dont play on instagram, youtube or snapchat. using magisk 18.1 and latest omni 9 rom
edit: nvm, found out that the Google camera fix module for magisk was the problem

I started the thread, but did not make this build. Everything should work. Thank @vache.

Quick update I did get TWRP to build successfully. Unfortunately it just sits on the boot logo but doesn't go back to fastboot, but that was just a quick see what happens build. I haven't added everything I need to yet. Will work on it more tonight, but progress is good so far.

@CodyF86 thanks for taking the lead on porting TWRP to the G Power. The G Power appears to be the best "bang for the buck" phone on the market currently, and has been widely covered by the media so far. I expect that the Moto G Power sub will grow steadily in the upcoming months, leading to custom rom development for the G Power. Having TWRP ported would be a start to paving way for custom rom development.

So another quick little update. I have the device repo basically where it should be...give or take heh. It's changed a bit from what is on my github, but it's pretty close. The only issue i'm having is that compiling it with the minimal manifest isn't going to work. It doesn't compile right. It compiles, but it doesn't copy things over correctly and/or at all depending on what it is.
My repo is pretty close to what the moto one power and the g8 power have, at least for their android 9 device tree, and I can get TWRP to boot, if I use the moto one power image and just dump the moto g power kernel into it.
So short version is i'm downloading the full manifest, basically all of Omni, which should hopefully sort it out. It's downloading right now.
EDIT:
Actually it helps to read the documentation I guess lol.

Will keep playing with it.

This is exciting! Thanks for your hard work.

I "should" have it working in a day or two...(or even tonight...) The Code Aurora repos have been helping greatly.
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/platform/vendor/qcom/trinket/tree/BoardConfig.mk?h=LA.UM.8.11.r1-03800-NICOBAR.0

Quick question, is the Moto g power the same as Moto g8 power? If they get custom Rom they'll unified? From what I know, the g power is the us variant release of the g8 power, right?. Thx in advance

Been making changes and even trying to repack some files from our devices into chef from when I got chef to boot with a repacked kernel but the touch screen wouldnt work and it couldnt see any partitions really.
Part of the problem seems to be the build system. It's not populating the output image fully. It's not even putting the TWRP directory in there lol.....
Going to keep trying. Going to try to find a native android 10 device that has twrp working unless there isnt one yet. Also our device is a little different it actually puts certain things in /system where in android 9 they went into /vendor. Spent about 3-4 hours on it today, but not going to give up.
I think there is an issue with the OMNI build system though also.

HI, I'd be willing to help with this, I'm a developer, I worked with @tecknight on TWRP for a phone called the Wiko Ride. We never quite got a working TWRP but learned quite a bit about AVB and such. I've already got my Sofia (US unlocked retail, running on Boost Mobile) rooted and could use a new challenge.
I too have been quite baffled by the Android build process at times - the docs that exist seem to assume a LOT of prior knowledge - the barrier to entry seems higher than ordinary Linux kernel hacking by quite a bit.

Look at my github you can see the cluster ef of changes I made to at least get to a console. Ironically if you repack the kernel into the chef version of TWRP it boots to the GUI but the touch screen doesnt work.. Our device is weird although it is android 10 native but it has a /system folder. Also on android 10 you can just add things to the vendor partition without using the product partition as an overlay.
Unpack the stock recovery. I went back to the basics and am basically going to mirror the stock recovery then inject the twrp binary, but its weird, the omni build system isnt doing some things correctly it seems also.
This will be your greatest resource. Code Aurora has the answers.
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/platform/vendor/qcom/trinket/tree/?h=LA.UM.8.11.r1-03800-NICOBAR.0
https://github.com/codyf86/device_motorola_sofia
LA.UM.8.11.r1-03800-NICOBAR.0 is our current CAF version tree.
Actually I just started the repo over the commits were nasty. Everything important and pertinent is in the initial commit now.
Ive been compiling and hacking kernels for 10 years, building Android for probably the same and this switch to the new partition layout + TWRP has so far been the... I don't want to say hardest but longest thing i've tried to do without any forward movement.
Like I said I got farther just by repacking the our kernel into the moto chef kernel, but they have a system_root directory and we dont. We just have system.
Theyre lib64 goes in /vendor ours goes in /system.
unpack the stock recovery image to start also TWRP uses init.qcom.recovery.rc to do things on the init and init.rc hand off where as stock recovery version of that file is different.

Actually I know partially why it wont boot. I have the paths in the init.recvoery.qcom.rc messed up, but also [email protected] doesn't exist in our lib64/hw directories, but there is a [email protected] file in the stock recovery so going to try that, plus were building bootctrl.trinket.

Nm i found the -service binaries for the boot gatekeeper keymaster libraries etc. think I made some progress but I have to build it and make sure everything gets in the right spot. will keep on keeping on.

The current code I have on my github will boot the stock recovery lol (the build system is being weird)....the build system isn't putting things in the right spot still. I was able to get TWRP to boot by rearranging some things manually, but it isn't pretty. So there is some progress, but the build system is part of the problem at this point at least for android 10. I'm still working on it.

I can make one and ill dm you.
Here are my questions so far / some observations.
The init.rc that the twrp build system puts in the build is incorrect. It needs to be manually added...I think there is a flag for that actually, but I had to change it once it was built. (I was able to make it boot to the first screen by dropping in things in /sbin from https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_motorola_chef)
The build system doesn't add the twrpres folder to the built image lol; or the twrp binaries to /sbin.
I literally had to copy them over from chef.
Also for example servicemanager and hardwaremanager aren't in the chef repo but they are in /sbin when you unpack the recovery image (chef), is the build system building them or putting them in from somewhere or are the repos not actually the final product and they had to hack the image a bit too.
I had ours added in then took it out when I couldnt find them in anyones device tree but they are there when you unpack all of the recovery images lol.
edit: It's actually putting most of the stuff (adbd) and symlinks in /system/bin including the recovery bin which is twrp, so let me readjust the init scripts.
our device is different it still has /system and not system_root.
another edit: Looking at android_bootable_recovery/crypto/ex4crypt I think im missing some libraries still.

Okay, if/when you do message me on there please, I hardly check XDA other than when I'm updating a Rom I maintain? @Dark998 is my username

@CodyF86
Interested and surprised to see that twrp for native android 10 is in the works.
After reading Dees Troy's article in late 2019 regarding twrp on android 10, I had resigned myself to the notion that twrp is more or less dead for android 10+...
https://twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html
Hope you're able to get it working!

I was absolutely able to get it to boot with adb up but with no touch screen and it couldn't see any paritions, but ive adjusted the fstab file.
Also slightly embarassed to say I repo synced and forgot to drop twrp 10 back in, but i need a libinit with twrp 10 and it actually gave me a couple solutions to that accidentally doing that, accidentally building aosp recovery once time lol xD

I was thinking that if twrp isn't possible, how difficult would it be to modify stock recovery to remove signature verification?
With stock recovery signature verification disabled, at least side loading would be possible. Thoughts?
Also, I'm willing to help test if needed

Development [ROM][OFFICIAL][sake][12.1] LineageOS 19

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 12, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. A direct link to kernel sources can be found here. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.
Instructions:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sake/install
Download:
https://download.lineageos.org/sake
Reporting Bugs:
DO NOT report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed.
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless.)
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues.

Thank you for that!!

Yes, I'll update description to clarify that. If you try and boot into the LOS 19 recovery with Android 11 firmware it will crashdump.

GMS = Google ? Service?
I'm trying this right now. Hopefully I make it functional before I have to head to bed.

Google Mobile Services, basically google apps and services
Also @ZVNexus, the google drive folder for the build without GMS seems to be empty, has it been removed?

Update:
I had a clean flash of:
WW-ZS590KS-31.0803.0403.54-DEV-2109-M3.13.24.46-SM8350_0000110-1.1.25-user_20210831-release_for_google
I was able too boot to TWRP. It wouldn't allow me to flash your zip. I rebooted to bootloader and flashed vendor_boot. After that, I was unable to get to TWRP recovery. I flashed boot and got to some sort of LOS-like recovery (purple color).
Flashing the image now.
UPDATE: Success. However, I was in a bootloop. Got back to recovery, it suggested to wipe data. It looks like LOS is now performing it's first boot.
UPDATE 2: First boot successful! Got into language and network selection. Seems to be stuck on "Getting your phone ready" step. Scratch that, we got past that! Big success!
UPDATE 3: Got past that bit, it was in "Getting your phone ready" process a long time. Booted now!
AWESOME, thank you for your work!
For anyone else reading, the TLDR:
Installed the above zip (downloaded from official ASUS site). https://www.asus.com/Mobile/Phones/ZenFone/Zenfone-8/HelpDesk_Manual/
Downloaded all the files provided by the author
Flashed boot and vendor_boot
Went to recovery, flashed the ROM zip with "apply update" and "sideload"
Bootloped a couple more times
Recovery suggested I clean data. I did.
...
Works
UPDATE 4: Note - it seems that fingerprint still makes full screen go max brightness + it doesn't work with screen off.

Updated OP to specify the exact version you need to be on [31.1004.0404.81 (or .71)]. Basically just a public release, not a beta.

What I was able to test now, it's pretty good. Very usable already!
Bugs I notice:
The GMS seems to be a bit slower than expected.
Fingerprint doesn't work with screen off.
Fingerprint request location is not marked.
Fingerprint maxes brightness of whole display.
Task switcher sometimes doesn't work.
Bottom navigation sometimes disappears.
It keeps warning me about SELinux not enforcing issue. Not sure if that's intended/known.
More bugs I noticed after a day of use:
Google account data doesn't want to sync. Perhaps android 11 -> 12 mismatch?
Touch reader stopped working (required forced reboot).
Can't log in certain applications (don't know if it's a ROM issue).

SELinux isn't enforcing because it's one of the first builds right after a bringup.

Put up a new build with some things resolved, notably SELinux is now Enforcing.
I also switched from stock's prebuilt NXP NFC stack to the open source stack. Anyone who is able to make payments with Google Pay or something like that, let me know if it works.
Added a vendor_dlkm partition to hold vendor kernel modules so you can flash a different vendor regardless of the kernel situation as the modules are no longer held there.
Enabled automatic brightness by default.
Fixed night light by correct PIxelworks device detection.
Switched from QTI BT to AOSP BT until it gets merged.

Put out a new build.
Upped kernel target level from 5 to 6. The new minimum requirement of level 6 is a minimum kernel version of 5.4.86. To comply with this I updated kernel to LA.UM.9.14.r1-16300-LAHAINA.0.
Also dropped Snapdragon Camera overlays in /vendor as it won't be supported this cycle. Just Camera2 unless I can somehow figure out getting ASUS Camera working.
Automatic brightness is now enabled by default.
Synced with latest lineage-19.0 sources which last I checked now include some theming stuff(?).

Alright, just thought I'd ask here.
I unlocked my BL and disabled some apps. Was running on stock rom!
Just tried to upgrade to Android 12 to be able to flash this rom but it is now stuck on a ramdump screen. Note: it is stuck on this screen with the Official Asus image! I had LOS18 on this device before but was running it for a few months with the stock rom (because of the camera in LOS).
It gets stuck in a loop. When I power down the phone (all 3 buttons for ~10s) it just gets me back to the ramdump.
Even using ASUS recovery RAW image and the instructions from this thread does not work: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/full-recover-to-stock-if-things-went-really-bad.4337467/ .
After going to fastboot I am NOT able to flash the official ASUS Android 12 image, it just stops on 1/2 and does not give any details.
I am able to flash LOS recovery, LOS18 (latest) and AFTER that I am able to flash back to stock Android 11 (NOT 12, that gives me a ramdump again).
This cost me about half a day to figure out.
Anyone know what is going on and what I can do to get my phone to some kind of normal state when installing roms???
EDIT:
Just got completely stuck on ramdump.
Only thing that helped was: erase vendor_boot, boot_a/b partitions and do fastboot snapshot-update cancel . After that I was able to recover using the link above. Actually got scared there for a sec...

Uploaded a build without GMS for people who don't like using GMS.

Tap to wake functional?, installed "no gms", runs nicely

Working great so far. I am having one issue where once I unlock the phone (and the screen gets really bright to read the fingerprint), it stays bright. If I tap the brightness slider, it doesn't move but it adjusts the brightness to what it should be according the slider.
This is the case with and without Adaptive Brightness enabled.

Same happenning here, booting to Android12 ramdumps me... I was able to update before but now it does not work... Also the flash script gives me an error that it did not give me before.
Code:
Project ZS590KS matching success!
Start erase misc
Erasing 'misc' FAILED (remote: 'Erase of misc is not allowed in snapshotted state')
fastboot: error: Command failed
misc flash failed!
Press any key to exit the script.
. I guess I will be staying on Android 11 then...
EDIT: Ran fastboot snapshot-update cancel like you did, and now the raw image file script works to reset the phone. Very weird. Also thank you so much, without your post, I would have never figured a way to make the script work again I am so glad you posted this
EDIT 2: After running the script (And everything working and passing) and getting everything back to normal, I was able to install Android 12 like I normally would without ramdumps
