[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Keith. K:
My review of MSM Xtended XP7 V14 and bug reports

Flashed build XP7 V14 and have been testing it intensely for some days. Here are my thoughts:

Pros:

•Rom is stable and very smooth overall, no major lag and bugs, feels very snappy with animation at 0.4x

•Plenty of customisation. Tweak most aspect of the rom to your liking. From quick settings and notifications to system themes and gestures, it's your choice.

•Battery backup with PBH V16 kernel is good. Slightly better than stock ROM I'd say. Currently I am using powersave cpu governor (edited with kernel adiutor) for even longer battery life, but even without changing cpu governor it can still last for about a day on medium usage. (Lot of social media and web browsing with WiFi and LTE virtually always on.)

•Charging speed with PBH V16 kernel is decent but could have been faster. I'm getting about 1300+ mah to 1600+ mah with stock charger and cable. Battery temperature is around 40 to 41°C.

•Audio quality after flashing NXP is better than I expected. Speaker is loud and clear for video watching. Audio quality from headphones is enjoyable as well.

•Gaming performance is yet to be tested by me.

Cons:

•Screen brightness is quite dim. I use at at 80% most of the time and at 50% is dimmer than I expected. However, night viewing is comfortable with the slightly dimmer screen so it isn't exactly a bad thing.

•Customisation options is plenty, but it can be overwhelming for new users. And despite the wide variety, some features and options are missing, but its just my personal preference. Slider and toggles with colour gradient is nice but I would love to have an option for a single colour accent.

•Minor lag does occur when performing heavy task and having many background application.

•Small bugs are present in the ROM, although not major and does not affect daily usage. I try to document bugs that I encounter and ways that I use to fix them in here.

Bugs:

•Lockscreen notification is stuck in black even though I have chosen primary, dark or xtended for the colour of notification. The colour of notifications in the notification shade is correct however.

Solution: I use pitch black for primary colour and black for notifications colour so the lockscreen notification can match the theme of the rom.

•Text in popup window is not readable due to light text and bright background.

Solution: It occured to me when I used omni for primary colour and dark for notification colour. After changing my colour to pitch black and black, the text is barely readable with grey text, but it is better than literally unreadable before. Perhaps an option to change text colour in menus and windows will be useful.

•SD card is shown mounted in settings and file manager, but gallery app and music app won't show the files on the SD card.

Solution: eject the SD card in settings>storage and remount it again.

•Volume panel is not displayed correctly when watching youtube in landscape mode with navigation bar hidden via 3rd party apps, like Fluid Navigation Gestures

Solution: disable navigation bar in system settings instead of hiding it with 3rd party app.

•Brightness slider does not have animation when brightness is set to maximum or minimum.

Solution: I just avoid using the brightest settings if possible. Dev pls fix
