Works pretty good and seems to be usable day-to-day. In terms of customisation the rom even perfomes better than stock rom.

Known Issues are:

  • fingerprint scanner not working correctly
  • dark mode is not optimized for the amoled display
  • Magisk install currently broken (bootloops) [ Seems to be a well known Issue for Magisk on Android 11 ]

  • 1.0 In developer options enable "Oem unlocking" & "USB debugging"
  • 1.1 adb reboot bootloader
  • 1.2 fastboot flashing unlock and then fastboot flashing unlock_critical

Step 2: Disable Android verification
