Flash and update instructions

If you are coming from MIUI.

- Unlock the bootloader and install brick protection (factory-preloader, lk, lk2). More info about these processes can be found here.

- Disable AVB by flashing stock vbmeta.img with the following command: "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img".

- Find a decent working TWRP, flash, and boot it using the manual key combo (e.g. official non-CFW TWRP or LR.TWRP for A9 if you are on MIUI A9, LR.TWRP for A10 if you are on MIUI A10).

- If you have begoniain, run this command "adb shell resetprop ro.product.device begoniain".

- Format data.

- Flash the latest /e/ OS build (CFW is included in the rom zip).

- Flash a CFW compatible recovery (like CFW TWRP) either from within the recovery you already have booted or by rebooting to fastboot.

- Reboot into System.

If you are coming from a non-CFW custom rom.

- Reboot to fastboot and Install brick protection (factory-preloader, lk, lk2). More info about these processes can be found here.

- Boot into custom non-CFW recovery.

- Format data.

- Flash the latest /e/ OS build (CFW is included in the rom zip).

- Flash a CFW compatible recovery (like CFW TWRP) either from within the recovery you already have booted or by rebooting to fastboot.

- Reboot into System.

If you already are on a CFW custom rom with CFW custom recovery installed.

- Boot into custom CFW recovery.

- Format data if you're clean flashing. Skip this step if you are just updating /e/ os.

- Flash the latest /e/ OS build (CFW is being reflashed together with the rom zip).

- Reboot into System.

About the builds

- Remember that the builds tagged with "testing" have a little higher chance to include unresolved issues.

- There is no OTA-update support, at least at the moment.

- CFW is included in the rom zips. There is no need for flashing any extra CFW zip.

- I have no plans of trying to make this rom official (lack of time for propper maintainance). The basic thing that needs to be fixed right now is SELinux and this is probably not going to happen any time soon. If you are a developer that wishes to take over this project and make it official or maybe just fix SELinux, please, go ahead and do it!

Issues

- The camera doesn't have full resolution support.

- SELinux is Permissive.

- You tell me!
