[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rajatgupta1998:
This is Candy Pie for the Essential Phone. Built straight from source with commits from a variety of different Sources/ROMS. We wanted to give the users a fun, fully customisable ROM, with regular updates and security patches.

We do this as a hobby, and we happily share the Candy of our toils with the custom ROM community, for free. We use what we share on our own devices, most as Daily Drivers, so you can be confident that problems will be promptly addressed.

Thanks for your support and camaraderie. Special thanks to GZOSP, GZR-ROMs, LineageOS, SlimRoms, OmniROM, AOSiP, DU and the innumerable rest who make their source open. We can't do all of this on our own!

Donations are appreciated, but NEVER expected.

Stay tuned for more Candy!

Special thanks to GZOSP, GZR-ROMs, LineageOS, SlimRoms, OmniROM, AOSiP and all the rest who make their source open. We can't do all of this on our own.

No 3rd party mods are supported. (Like Xposed Framework or shady Magisk Modules)

Reboot

NOTE:

If you have issues with Settings or Play Services force-closes you need to clean flash.

Please give first boot several minutes.

New additions and fixes being added constantly

If you have any other issue, please let us know in proper bug reporting fashion as indicated below.

Do NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed other shady mods.

Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)

If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)

If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

What is your--
ROM version and build date
Gapps version:

Did you--
wipe:
restore with titanium backup:
reboot after having the issue:

Are you using--
a task killer:
a non-stock kernel:
other modifications:

Provide any additional information (observations/frequency of problem/last version it worked on/etc) as needed.
Also please let us know how to reproduce the particular issue.

Please, DO NOT complain about problems and offer nothing to help fix it. We reserve the right to ignore you for not following instructions.
