New users, however, will have to perform a clean flash by wiping user data. 2018 is, unfortunately, turning out to be the year when once developer friendly smartphone manufacturers decided to lock users out of their own devices.

It’s a beautiful AOSP ROM that is very close to stock Android with Pixel features and customization options. It features WAIFUCLOCK which is based on the Substratum theme and delivers firmware files an elegant lock screen experience that you won’t find on any other ROM. The best part is that it also offers timely updates and bugs are fixed routinely. As for device support, from Xiaomi to OnePlus, Nokia, and Nothing, almost all the OEMs are supported.
I’ve had other smartphones with better reception over the past year, but this is more anecdotal evidence than a scientific comparison. As a 5MP depth sensor, it should technically help with portrait photos, but the result is often too extreme. The depth effect often seemed to take a focal point and just add radial blur around it, like any tilt-shift filter would. Instead, a telephoto or wide-angle lens would have added at least a different perspective for the photo.
If a configuration file is used during boot there will be a reboot during the late_start service boot stage, to load the newly set up values. Before setting up your device, install Magisk, this module and use the configuration file described below to pass the ctsProfile check. This should make your device be perceived as certified by Google and you can log into your Google account and use your device without having to whitelist it. Check here for usable fingerprints (only use the part to the right of the equal sign). When using a Treble GSI ROM with a stock vendor partition, it is sometimes possible to use the vendor fingerprint to make the device pass the CTS profile check.
