Important Notes — Please Read

Clean Flash is Mandatory.

This is a Fastboot ROM with SELinux Enforcing.
MTE is disabled by default from the kernel.
OrangeFox Recovery (OFOX) is included, not Fenrir.
Use only the flashing scripts provided inside the ROM folder to avoid flashing mistakes or potentially bricking your device.
Back up your important data before flashing.

Kernel and root

Strictly recommended: Do not change the included kernel. Replacing it may cause bugs, instability, or incompatibilities.

Bug reports from users who change the kernel are not accepted. Reporting such bugs will result in a ban. Keep this in mind before modifying your kernel.

The included kernel currently supports only the latest KernelSU Next.
If you don't need root, simply uninstall the KernelSU Next app and do not grant superuser (SU) permissions to any app.
Apps will not receive root access without approval, but this does not guarantee that every app will be unable to detect root. The kernel remains KernelSU-enabled.

Mind Space

Ask Mode: Working.
Agent Mode: Currently not functional.

Final Notes

This release focuses on making ColorOS feel properly integrated with Rodin hardware: stable HDR, working colour modes, reliable biometrics and AOD, smooth refresh control, stable gaming touch, better thermal behavior, verified external DAC headphone support, working HyperOS Camera, restored O-Reality and Holo Audio features, and improved overall system compatibility.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this release possible, especially @OZ7WM for helping with fixes, @demigod214 for testing and suggestions, and all the testers who contributed throughout development.
