* You can download all my old roms from my Sourceforge directly.

Must Read All Important Instructions Here Before Flash:

* If you're coming from Stock Rom(Realme UI 2.0), you need to unlock your bootloader first. Realme UI 2.0 deep testing apk is not released yet. So you need downgrade to RUI 1.0 using rollback package for unlock your bootloader. (See #rollbackpackage, #bootloader_unlock, #twrp_guide & #cusrom_flashing_guide notes from Realme XT Telegram group)

* This ROM based on RUI 2.0 firmware. So Need to flash it over RUI 2.0 firmware(No need to download full firmware, it's just fw only zip, under 150mb in size). Get it from Realme XT Telegram group notes (#firmware_download) or Download it from Realme XT Telegram channel.

* RUI 2.0 firmware zip automatically flashes realme UI 2.0 supported TWRP recovery by default(included in realme UI 2.0 firmware zip, but it won't support A13/A14 decryption bcoz it's old & not updated)

* Don't download twrp from twrp official website bcoz it doesn't work on RUI 2.0 Firmware Based Custom Roms(official support dropped long ago & not updated)

* So if you want to use latest recoveries(supports A13/A14 decryption & up to date), check, download & flash it from main group notes or from Realme XT Telegram channel after flashing the firmware.

* Need latest UNOFFICIAL TWRP (OR) OrangeFox recovery with RUI 2.0 support. Get it from Realme XT Telegram group notes(#twrp_download, #ofx_download) or Download it from Realme XT Telegram channel.

* Reboot to custom recovery. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache only. Flash RUI 2.0 firmware zip first in recovery then reboot to recovery again. Flash Rom zip now. Do format data by typing yes. Reboot to system. Flash magisk or ksu kernel after first boot only.

* You need to clean flash with format data if you're coming from stock rom or any previous Android versions. It's MANDATORY. So take backup of your internal storage & data before flash.

* Always remove all lockscreen passwords before clean/dirty flash for safety(to avoid format data)

* You can dirty flash if you're using previous A14 build. (see #dirty_flash)

* Clean flash(see #clean_flash) always Recommended! Dirty flash at your own risk. If your device bootloops, revert to an older build that boots, backup your stuff and do a clean flash.

* Indian users should flash NFC removal zip (otherwise it will drain your battery in background) from main tg group notes( Use #nfc_removal). You need to flash it after every clean/dirty flash.

* Need minimum 3 days (or 3 full charging cycles) for things to settle down(optimizations). So be patience.

* Users might get widevine L1 support if you're already getting it in RUI 2.0 stock rom. Follow #widevinel1 notes from main tg group.

* READ all notes from Realme XT Telegram group for more details.

Notes:

* You can dirty flash it over previous build.

* Always clean flash recommended. Dirty flash at your own risk!

* Use latest orangefox recovery for A14 encryption/decryption support.

* F2FS file system not forced to all users. So if users wants, they can move to F2FS. IT'S NOT COMPULSORY! You can stay with existing ext4 file system too.

* You need to use F2FS supported recovery for moving to F2FS file system(Read #ext4_to_f2fs note saved in main group for more details)

* If you want to know about F2FS file system, just Google it.

* Use PlayIntegrityFix if needed only.

* PlayIntegrityFix needed for NFC users(Google wallet users) only. All UPI apps are working fine without it for Indian users. So just don't bother it if all are working fine.

* Play store not certified is not a big deal. Just Some apps won't be available in play store. Still we can sideload them.

Known Issues:

* DT2W on AOD won't work(Use FOD instead)

* SafetyNet & Play integrity (LineageOS won't spoof for it. So use modules)

* Turn off Ripple effect for better fod experience.

* Fod won't work on adaptive color mode. So use default(Display --> Colors).

* RUI 2.0 fw base has some issues with camera. It's totally random (sometimes camera won't open & torch light qs tile will say "camera in use" , so just wait 1-2 minutes, it will be fixed automatically). That's why face unlock also not working sometimes(it's using front camera).

* Don't report bugs without proper logs. Otherwise it will be ignored.

Changelog:

* Latest LineageOS A14 source upstream

* Merged May Security Patch

* Re-added OMX.qcom.video.decoder.vp9 codecs(Because media stuck issues properly fixed in media hal by LineageOS now)
