Thanks for the rom I'm waiting for!!
Music on headphones seems ok, but you can't change volume earpeace/speaker on calling. I'ts great to have finally some hotplugs and many governors as well, but the minimun Cpu frequency cannot be changed. Any advice?
Charging time seems a little faster with the original charger....also, after a reboot, the battery stats gets deleted. Led notification seems not take the right colour.....I'll try with LightFlow app.
Will test it some more hours, thank you!
Thank you for the rr build @WinKarbik! Awesome job!

First off all, please stop quoting OP. So please edit post & remove quote.
Try universal safety net fix module.
Diiference between this and shripad's lineage os? Also is root possible with magisk in this build?
This is built from source whereas other is ported.
Yes, root possible with magisk.

SIM, mobile data, calls and SMS works, only VoLTE dead cuz Samsung IMS
Idk the perf on games cuz i don't play games
Thanks very much, I don't use VoLTE so that's perfectly fine, and I just wanna ask about the smoothness in general but I think it should be completely fine.
+ IS GCam compatible with the ROM?
does it emulate Pixel 7 props? I'd really like to have the free VPN option.
A20e support sometime in the near future or never?

Gcam is compatibility is not by roms you use, it is camera2api, usually that is already in vendor, so yes it will work.

Yes without gapps. Nikgapps core
But alternatively can I use the FULL version which also includes Android Auto? Because if I install it as an app it doesn't work on my vehicle.
Classic procedure for flash (wipe-rom-gapps)? Do you recommend a particular kernel or the stock one?

Android auto is included in Gapps build. Clean wipe before fresh install is recommended. Latest Silvercore Kernel should work but not tested.

Battery life is good for me,have been using it since android 13 released. Yes it will be updated regularly till next android version is released.
Good rom , good battery backup , very light rom with few minimal needed features , safety net passes by default , Also Widevine L1 Present , hope it gets regular updates
