[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] AmolAmrit:
Announcement

So guys I've uploaded a new stable Pie build with SELinux enforced on the download portal. That being said, there are few things that I want to discuss.

1.) The bugs that I've mentioned in the original post are present in this build. For some it won't be a big issue but those bug exists. I am being honest here, some bugs might be beyond my skills and given constraints such as time to fix. Some bugs that I get reports are (like the infamous locks screen bug) not debug-gable on my end. Others such as VoWiFi, are also some which are not easy to fix because kenzo's system is made up of patched blobs. It might break other things. Plus I don't get much time now so I can't do this alone now.

2.) This build might have issues related to stock android media scanner. I might need help from you guys to catch what is causing that.

3.) Well, this thing I want to talk about is from my end. My kenzo (4+ years) is slowly dying on the way. It does not work properly and it is beyond the software world for it's fix. Well the phone itself is without scratches and all. She is till pretty stolid and solid from the outside. Not just the battery is dead, the charging board does not function properly. The phone is slower and even while playing music it stutters (including the music). When I lock the screen music just gets stuck. WiFi reception and Bluetooth reception got poorer. What I think is that the emmc chip is slowly dying. She ain't the one what she used to be.

4.) So I want everyone to donate me a device.

5.) I was joking.

6.) So, jokes apart, I pre-booked the OnePlus Nord which will be my primary device and hopefully some development on it soon. I can't promise about it because I don't get much time to work on multiple projects. I finally got over the dilemma of having an SD Card because I really needed one. But one device can't have every feature around given the price. So, I ordered the 256GB variant. About the headphone jack, I do miss it but this is how it is these days. Good to see that I am getting an AMOLED panel to use. So anyways, what I want to infer here is that I can't use kenzo as my primary phone. That does not mean I'll be leaving development but yes I won't be getting much time too. I have to work on AEX source as well so I need support from fellow developers to keep kenzo's ecosystem running. I can't promise the next pie release as such, but I think I'll try to update it when it is necessary. It does not have any major bugs but it is not perfect either.

7.) Yes I know, everyone is working on (and waiting for) Android 10. Like we all know Android 10 already booted on kenzo many months ago and fellow developers are working on it. But that does not mean I won't be working on it. What I think is that, keeping the time constraint for everyone in mind and not just mine, is to work collectively. So I urge my friends to work on Android 10 collectively and to get it ironed as close as we can. Yes it is gonna take some time but I think it is worth it. :angel:

8.) I think everyone also knows about the AEX situation too. I'll just quote here from our Telegram channel.

This is all I wanted to say and I hope everyone is staying safe in this weird time. Condolences to losses (if any). Thank you everyone for the support and love over the years. I appreciate it deeply.

If in future if I had any announcements to make, I'll update or post on this thread here on xda.
