There are no features yet, I am working on EAS tweaks for stock at the moment and will likely also do an HMP kernel

n00b question... What does this kernel have? Also would you be able to dive into the camera apk to help solve compression issue and color saturation since you have the phone now?

Oh nice, we get to be named after Rei? Curious as to whether you intend for this to work on AOSP, LOS or stock ROMs?

Right now this is for stock oreo beta 2, will work on other stuff as I have time, but I am hoping they release stock oreo soon

OH! Does it include patches to pass Safetynet despite the unlocked bootloader as well? Would like to avoid Magisk if possible.

I am adding that right now, I am testing some boot issues with one of my commits, R1 will be up for all when it is resolved

Hi,
What is the correct way to flash, boot.img then magisk. I cant remember. Blame the booze.
Thanks

R1 good to go? As its uploaded i see
Edit: Guess so as flash and passed safety net

R2 is up now, I am working on getting AnyKernel to work and keep recovery on device if possible when flashing.

We have confirmed that the flashable zip keeps TWRP on your phone and you get to keep the kernel and your system working fine!
To root with this, flash twrp to your boot partition using fastboot, flash the kernel zip and then flash magisk.
EDIT: also confirmed to work on nougat!

Tried Rey2.zip nd booted back to twrp and the touch didnt work. Using the latest twrp as well

Is Magisk working with this kernel on Oereo B2? Magisk 14.3 caused lots of reboots, 14.6 just doesn't work (no magisk after boot).

Looking into it, I think flashing magisk makes touch work, will see if I can fix it within the kernel side.

The problem with the stock camera app was that it compresses images too much, they have lower the compression ratio but it is still not good enough. You can try it yourself to see what I mean. In broad day light outdoor, the images appears to be great but if you zoomed in, you will see it it just doesn't look right. The color is washed out as well, and you don't see any details. Looks like everything is smoothed out. File size is about 6 to 7mb or so. The low light shots are worst, it's about 3mb and there's more fuzzy stuff and lack of details/sharpness.
If you can dive deep into the apk to see what they set the compression to, and change that to possibly 0, and see what else needs to be changed. I spoke to Arnova8g2, who helped ported the gcam hdr+ to oneplus3/3t and he helped fixed the compression a bit on the older apk but I can't overwrite it no matter what. Let me know if you need any more info.

Project Treble

The S9 recently booted an android aosp rom (8.0) thanks to project treble ! Check this article : https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-aosp-android-oreo-project-treble/

Will be interesting to see how much it is used.

I hope we get it too on older flagships ( S8, S7..etc )

I was the first one that booted it.
It was an adventure to get it to work. Lol.

In the Project Treble forum.
I assume once it's stable and bug-fixed, and any S9/+ specific problems are fixed, it'll be posted here.
They still have a few things to do ... but compared with the usual challenges, it appears to be a walk in the park.

[ROM][CAF][UNOFFICIAL] Derp-CAF v0.03 [ENCHILADA]

I stumbled upon this gem of a ROM. It's CAF based and has a ton of settings. It will certainly suit anyone's needs.
Here's a nice video showing all the features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TCj8c0E7Dc
Ingredients used:
1. Device tree: https://github.com/AOSiP-Devices/device_oneplus_enchilada
2. sdm845-common: https://github.com/AOSiP-Devices/device_oneplus_sdm845-common
3. kernel: https://github.com/AOSiP-Devices/kernel_oneplus_sdm845/tree/neutrino
4. Vendor blobs: https://github.com/AOSiP-Devices/vendor_oneplus_sdm845-common
ROM sources on github: https://github.com/derp-caf
Telegram: https://t.me/DerpCAF
Download link: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117934304
Installation as usual for OP6:
1. Flash ROM zip in TWRP
2. Flash TWRP zip
3. Reboot to TWRP
4. Flash opengapps + (optional) Magisk.
5. Boot to system
Tested on my own decrypted OP6.
Note:
Some people had trouble after flashing the rom, they report it took them back to TWRP. If you have this issue, try following this procedure (thx @HatRiGt) :

Do I need to update first to latest build before flashing this ROM? My device's current state is flashed OOS 9.0.5 twice then flashed Havoc ROM.
This ROM sounds promising because from what I have searched in google is CAF=good performance/less features and AOSP=more features/bad performance and now it is combined to one ROM that has good performance and more features as stated in the OP.

I guess 9.0.5 is fine. No need for full format. Just do a backup first of your current rom (so that you can go back if you dont like this one) and then follow the usual steps as for any other rom, nothing special. Just the steps from my first post.

[EOL][ROM][UNOFFICIAL][BETA][ARTEMIS][EAS] AOSiP10 Quiche Android Q Beta

Your warranty is now void blah blah blah I'm not responsible for your toaster going rogue on you.
LAST AOSiP10 BETA BUILD?? SEE THIS POST - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80702799&postcount=86
EOL = THIS ROM IS NOW FINITO! AICP15 COMING SOON!

Bugs? You tell me. With logs. Pretty stable tho and most stuff working.
Q is still very early on in its development. I find it works decently enough for a daily driver.
Trees used are on my github. Kernel tree so mods don't delete the thread: [url]https://github.com/celtare21/kernel_essential_msm8998-1[/URL]
NOTE: This thread is maintained by me. The ROM is built by KuranKaname using his own sources (which you can see above).

Thank you so much for your work
Just one question: is the trusted face (face unlock) working? Thank you very much, I'll test it out and I'll let you know if are there any bugs ?

Reboot twrp
Flash Gapps
then magisk if you want.

Am I being dumb? The gapps package doesn't install anything. No Play Store, no setup on first boot. Just doesn't do it on a completely clean install.
Third flash is a charm I guess. Weird... Still no setup on a factory reset though which sucks since you can't restore your info from Google.

Stable GSI Rom for A6 2018 (A600G)

So after Trying different PIE GSIs, I Found a less buggy GSI rom. It's "RR-P-v7.0.3-20191112-A64-A.img" that i found on @turbolukex5 thread on this link. https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...iscussion/gsi-expressluke-built-gsis-t4003457
basically i tested camera, BT,in call audio, Fingerprint and Mobile Hotspot. So far they work pretty nice. The only thing that doesn't work as of now is the MTP. So you need to reboot to TWRP to transfer files on storage.
If this thread is prohibited, kindly remove it. I just want to share what i found today. Thank you.

That's basically a bug which is present in almost every GSI. Use footej/open camera from play store instead. Those will also give you back some of the manual controls if you are into that sorta thing.
