[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] yukinhaw:
so, once again re-flashed the ROM, this time with Open Gapps Android 11 test version (pico pack), it booted and everything working fine! now on to a long post, I hope you have it in your heart to read all through it <3

-> on to first impressions:

* overall, really well put together ROM, I hope that it is maintained as long as you can <3

* loved the design resembling MIUI in some aspects but still keeping aosp feelings. spot on.

* in terms of performance, been using it for just a few hours but everything feels very snappy and fast, love Xiaomi Parts giving you options to further tweak your phone without the need of extras, like Magisk! will also further test on heavy usage, since I like to play on my phone.

* in terms of battery, will need more time to tell, but for starters, I've done a lot of tweaking and still holding up good.

-> on to I find not so good and have suggestions:

* more options like icon size and editing individual icons would give a nice touch to how much we can tweak the launcher to our taste, without being too invasive. for now, I am using Nova Launcher, since it allows me to do more, but if stock launcher is further improved with simple options like the ones I suggested, I might consider going back to it.

* more colors for theming (or at least I couldn't find more but blue and purple)

* is always-on lockscreen display supposed to be so dimmed? I can barely see it lol an option to manually set how dim it should be would be nice.

-> on to possible bugs:

* the icons of the stock revenge launcher are not working properly when you switch to another pack, they stay inside the shape instead of being the full icon, I can provide a screenshot if needed.

* this ROM is supposed to be safety net passed and have L1 Widevine support right? welp, Netflix and Disney+ apps are not showing up at Play Store to me and I did not install Magisk or anything else, just ROM + gapps. not that this is a dealbreaker to me, just thought I should report it.

* will further report in case I bump into anything else that might possibly be a bug

-> on to suggestions for ROM XDA thread:

* I understand you still waiting for the bot and sourceforge to come to terms, so this one I know will be solved regarding the link to download latest release

* update install guide with troubleshooting, since a lot of people here had the same problems: not formatting data partition, booting without gapps for the first time, which gapps works (open gapps android 11 test pico pack, nik gapps core pack are verified to work) and which causes bootloop to recovery, also which gapps have gps working or not, since nik gapps seems to have issues with gps. all this info is compiled from reading through the thread and would be really useful to have as troubleshooting at original post, since it will help a lot having all this info centralized in one place.

-> about developer and maintainer

* I salute you for your effort and how attentive and active you are, hope you can keep it up, a dev who listens and communicates with the community is already on the road to success <3

guess this is it for starters, geez, that was a pretty long feedback! in a few days, will give a mid-term feedback on how things are faring <3

p.s: just out of curiosity, what's the difference between RevengeOS and DotOS?
