FAQs
Q: Who are the main developers?
A: @delet_thiskthx & @jertlok
Q: After installing the rom I needed to put in a password. Now suddenly last week not any more.
A: FBE works differently from FDE.
When you set a fingerprint, for instance, you will be required to add either a PIN or a password — when you do, you will have to enter such password to decrypt your storage as well.
Logically speaking, if you remove the fingerprint (or password / PIN) you won't be asked to add such code in TWRP anymore.
Q: I want to protect my nudes, so I need to encrypt my phone. What do I do?
A: Flash the latest FBE build and recovery. Do not flash Magisk before encrypting your phone otherwise you'll end in a bootloop.
Q: Google Feed is empty/blank?
A: Open Google app and then force close it. Go back to Google Feed and it should be fine.
Q: Some Google app shows login error?
A: Flash latest Open GApps.
Q: Can I use an Oreo (8.1) kernel with this ROM?
A: Yes. Any Oreo kernel *should* work.
Q: TWRP reboots while flashing the ROM?
A: Format data and then flash.
Q: I'm running a stable build. Can I dirty flash a testing build?
A: No. You can only dirty flash a stable build over a stable build and a testing build over a testing build. So if you want to flash a testing build over a stable build, you'll have to clean flash.
Q: I tried to install 8.1 but my phone goes into bootloop, what can I do?
A: The ROM flashes the vendor partition, this means that you will have to reflash the stock vendor image release by Google. You can find the image on this website or inside the whole factory image found on Google developers page.
Q: Subtratum doesn't seem to work?
A: Substratum on Pie is kinda legacy. Build the theme, reboot your phone and then apply it through theme manager.
Q: Phone app disappears after answering a call/can't close the call?
A: Settings > Apps & notifications > Default apps and tap on phone app and then on Phone (even though it's already checked).
Q: Sparks menu is empty?
A: Yes. It's still in development.
Q: How to install Magisk?
A: Flash Magisk zip file via recovery. After that install Magisk Manager via apk file to make it show up in the app drawer.
