[Realme 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] cheese1698:
So I’ve been using this rom for about 4 or so days now. It’s actually a quite stable rom, specially compared to other android 13 roms available on r5x.

Everything’s that mentioned or enlisted in the settings and such, is working as it’s supposed to, except for very few exceptions, ill put those in the end.

The camera is work flawlessly, the camera hasn’t crashed till now, picture quality and focus is just as you would expect. The rom includes a stock camera, which actually uses r5x’s secondary cameras, other than that, I have been using OpenCamera, Snapchat’s Camera and Secure camera and all perform equally well.

Chargin and discharging works just as fine as any other thing…

Customizations – Well there aren’t many since it’s a “pixel” rom. Magisk works fine (flashed through twrp) and so do other apps so far, I have not tried any of my banking apps yet but im sure they’ll be fine. Anyways, if you’d want to customize your Pixel OS, you can root through magisk and then google for “AOSP MODS MAGISK MODULE” and use that module. It adds an app icon to your launcher and has most of the visual customizations you would find in any heavily modifiable custom rom.

Audio and mic seem to go fine, calls are working fine, have not used the call recorder (haven’t even check if it exists) instead I use BCR, another magisk module… There’s ViperFX available and works, but haven’t really been using it.

So everything works fine as expected,

now to bring a few things into the developers account…

Automatic brightness does not work and does not show up in Quick Settings.

Fingerprint authenticated animation cannot be disabled – very annoying to see the glittery animation; lags the process a little. The fingerprint works fast though, no worries on that.

Speaking of lags, as opposed to my earlier comment on this thread, the Quick Settings panel is the only place where the animations stutter/jitter, e.g., when expanding, or closing the panel, or when switching the QS pages…

Would appreciate an option to assign extended functions to the gesture swipes (navigation gestures). Im very used to holding the back swipe to open up the volume panel, since the buttons are hard to reach at times.

WiFi/Data connectivity sucks when the source of the internet is afar… If I were to sit near the router, it will be fine, but as soon as I would go upstairs or downstairs the net starts to choke, switching automatically to data (if enabled). As for data, 4g does work but it also chokes up later or sooner… fix pwease

This one is something that I cannot fully understand but I can see there’s a problem; when you boot up the phone, the storage acts as if its building up its capacity. Opening up whatsapp for instance as soon as your phone turns on, the apps shows “low storage”, but it gets fixed after a minute or so. Same is the case in any file manager app, the storage takes time to build up and appear. This is probably because of the new partitioning method but it feels like this is the reason why many of the major bugs from other android 12/13 roms are pretty much ok or fixed here… anyways, In regards to my previous comment I mentioned how I was not able to restore my custom whatsapp’s data. I ended up doing another clean/fresh install of the rom and somehow, I got it to work, not sure how (always test your possible methods whilst keeping your data backed up).

Overall, the rom is a solid 8.5 out of 10, and with the actual stability and availability of features which might not work on other roms, the bugs become close to non-existent.

Really appreciate the developer’s work on this. A must use rom and works as a daily driver too!
