Recommend me a ROM please... - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Just picked up a Nexus 5x cheap and I was looking for a good stable ROM with the following key features:
- Night Light
- Dark theme (settings, notification shade etc.)
- Working Gcam or ability to install Gcam with portrait mode.
- Not rooted, and able to use Google Pay and banking apps etc.
- Stable and bug free (I don't mind tiny, non-critical bugs, but everything should function)
- Android 7+ (though I'd prefer 8+)
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed::laugh::good:

I've been using this https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/rom-lineageos-17-1-t4049993 Works very well. I'm digging the dark theme which helps battery life.
I did do a clean install and I wiped ALL storage.
Make you have the latest version of TWRP, bootloader, radio, and vendor images installed.
Of course, make sure the bootloader is unlocked and ADB debugging is turned on. You know, all the usual to prep a phone for a custom ROM.

[ROM][2017-10-22][UNOFFICIAL] XenonHD ROM for Mix 2 (Chiron) [7.1.2]

XenonHD ROM for Xiaomi Mi Mix 2
A Team Horizon ROM
Based on AOSP r36 7.1.2
This ROM has all the features XenonHD has to offer.
All hardware functions including:
NFC
Bluetooth Audio
Fingerprint Scanner
Doze & Wake-up Gestures (dtw works after the first reboot)
And...many more things.
Magisk is no longer built in, so you'll need to flash it when first installing, and after every dirty flash.
VoLTE doesn't work (at least on T-Mobile). I believe most of the pieces are in place, but there may be something in the firmware that's preventing it? If I could figure out how to tap into the stock cust files, I might be able to figure out how to get it working.
Proximity Sensor is working:
Notification Light:
I have slowed down the notification light so it isn't all amped up. To make it completely usable, go to:
Fixed default notification blinks for built-in apps so they are slowed down without needing to go to settings.
For use-installed apps, add them to custom notification list in settings > notifications > gear icon > notification light > + in upper right corner > select app. Apps added to that list will have slow notification blinks.
I simply cannot find a way to make user-installed app notifications behave the same as built-in apps. Grrr!!
I have also made the light sensor wait longer before dimming the screen. This helps with left-handed activities blocking the light sensor and almost immediately dimming the screen.
Reduced time to go back from dim to bright. Screen will dim after 5 seconds, returns to bright after 2 seconds.
I've remove configpanel & pocketmode...they did little to nothing, and may have caused more battery drain than I care for.
Required prior to installing:
Unlock Bootloader
Install custom recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579490303
HUGE thanks to IceMan for bringing this to Mix 2!
A quirk with this TWRP: This one looks for backups in TWRP/BACKUPS/MIX_2 folder. Normally, the MIX_2 folder is named after serial number of your device.
So, you existing backups won't be found until you rename the folder in BACKUPS to MIX_2.
Installation Instructions:
Dirty flash is now available with the above TWRP and 10-26-2017 rom.
Download the most recent build: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329071426
Download Gapps (I use Open Gapps Mini) --> http://opengapps.org/
All versions from 10-24-2017 are now encryptable.
From TWRP Recovery:
IF COMING FROM MIUI-BASED ROM: FULL WIPE AND FORMAT DATA!!
If you encounter ERROR 7, during XenonHD install, install Global MIUI ROM, then do full wipe and data format again, then install XenonHD rom.
If coming from AOSP-based ROM:
- Full wipe (Cache, Davlik/ART Cache, System & Data)
- Flash ROM zip
- Flash Gapps zip
Huge thanks to Mokee for bringing this device up and making a great place to start.
Also a very HUGE thanks to @Arasthel for his work on proximity sensor and figuring out the bluetooth reboot stuff and other hints, suggestions and incalculable work.
I'd also like to thank all of you folks here for trying this ROM and providing constructive feedback.
In addition, I appreciate your patience when issues come up that need to be fixed. I am not a developer, and I have a full time job and a wife that takes precedence most of the time

THX for the ROM @hondajohn88 ,very much appreciated. :good:
Is this 1st release identical to the beta?
Just curious,as I tried to dirty flash over the beta & got the same errors as if coming from another ROM (wouldn't flash).
Is a full wipe (less formatting data) necessary if updating ?
I don't mind setting up from new again,even if just updating from the beta build.
However,wondering if incremental updates are going to be an option on future builds.

Bluetooth seems to be working fine for audio/calls. Need to try video/youtube audio output on car (will do it on the drive back home)
ROM is slick, its been good so far (2 hours since i have set everything up)

Oh yeah...I need to add that to the OP, for some reason, dirty flash won't work. There's a couple weird things with this build, one is I can't make a dirty build or it breaks Wi-Fi, and can't dirty flash. I don't know the reasons, but if I figure it out, I'll be sure to let everyone here know. It's an extreme pain in the ass.

Glad everything is working for you so far. Bluetooth audio in car should work (it does on mine), but I found the volume on the car set to zero so needed to turn that up. That was a brief "oh crap" moment that I thought it wasn't working lol

I think it fails without it, but magisk is built in, so if have to remove it to find out for sure.

It seems that we both have faced this issue. I just got A2DP working yesterday on Resurrection Remix by using sagit as base - without msm-8998 common and all that -, imagine my surprise when I saw you also did .
Anyway, I think the WiFi bug may be related to something going wrong in the build. When you build the ROM, kernel sources are used and you can see that the wlan.ko module is built. The problem is, wlan.ko is also a binary blob found in vendor. I believe that on the 2nd build, if dirty, one of these modules overwrites the other - which worked. Maybe you can test this idea, I will be doing it too on the next days.

That's cool you got the Bluetooth working on RR, knocking little things out one by one ?
Thanks for the idea on the Wi-Fi, I'll look into that this evening. Maybe there's a file I can delete before dirtybuilding. That would make testing things a lot faster! ??
By the way, does android auto work on your rr?
Everything except proximity sensor works and works as good as stock. I have installed custom font, black swift substratum OMS theme without any hiccups. The rom is buttery smooth and I've been getting a better battery drain trend on this compared to resurrection/mokee. I have naptime doze installed to see if i can ooze out more battery goodness to the levels of epic Rom(miui 9)
Overall this is super encouraging to see a daily driver rom this early for mi mix 2.
There is one edge case which might be a bug, when connected on car Bluetooth and watching something on YouTube.. And then you get a call, i pressed answer on the car knobs/buttons.. I couldn't hear the person talking.. Car was displaying "audio disabled message ”. But talking/call and video/music in isolation works just fine.
Android auto works for me. I'm on RR now. Might come to this if we can get Android auto working. How did you guys fix your Bluetooth audio on RR (we can move this to the RR thread if you prefer) @Arasthel

Thanks for the info about android auto on RR. I'll take a look at their repo and see if I messed up a USB setting somehow.
As far as I'm concerned, other ROMs can be discussed here.
Open source should be crowd sourced for maximum problem resolution.
RR probably (?) Did the same as me... Mokee made a commit in qcom/audio that did the trick.

Hi... Thank you again for the wlan.ko tip. I deleted all instances of that in my out folder, dirty built and it's all good. Sped up my test time considerably! Woohoo! :good:
Thanks op for adding this to to the mix. Much appreciated. I am not sure if I can leave Resurrection due to all the customization options. Does this room offer as many customization options? Thanks so much!

I haven't used rr for this phone, but I think at this point rr probably has more options. This one has quite a few, and as son as I get most of this ROM straightened out, I'll try adding more options.
I'll add some screen shots of the settings to help people decide.
Thanks ?
Great work by a great Dev,

Of course not. No V30 LOS-based ROM has VoLTE and never will. That has to be present in the V30 parent LOS tree, and that Dev says it's basically impossible. So, it will never be a feature in a ROM based on V30 LOS. It's only possible in V30 stock-based custom ROMs like A.I.X.
Here's the V30 Custom ROMs FAQ -- which is linked in the WTF Instructions to read before you actually bootloader unlocked your phone. See #5.

can you use microg with this rom?
I really like the build and speed of this. WiFi worked right out the gate which is what prompted me to ditch trying to get Android 10 working. The ROM doesnt include any of the google apps so I used NikGapps to get the store and things working.
The issue is that any games or apps request that i use the google play services which is already installed and running. Not sure how to overcome this. Anyone else have this problem and perhaps a solution?
Edit: Nevermind. I used the unofficial open gapps and it worked fine. I included it in the zip queue from TWRP when i flashed the rom. I did the following:
Manually wipe (format) your System partition
Flash your ROM
Flash Open GApps package
Wipe the Dalvik & cache
Reboot
Is it good for a daily?
@supremmotu
supremmotu
Any way you could upload the ROM to another file hosting service such as mega? When I try to download from the link it says there have been too many downloads in the past 24-hours.
Can't wait to test out Android 11 on this excellent device.
Edit: I was able to get through and download it

So far so good (US998) - Wifi works, cell service works, GPS seems to work, tethering works. I'm running Magisk v22 fine, I installed Magisk App Debug and flashed Magisk-22.zip (just rename the apk to .zip) and MicroG works fine without the need to mess around with signature spoofing.
Edit: I could only get tethering to work from wifi, not mobile data (for internet access)
My only gripe is the always on display setting (always show time and info) glitches out so you can't really use it. If you try to turn the phone on the screen goes black and stays that way. I tried using a 3rd party app Always On Edge, but it uses too much battery to use aside from charging. FM Radio also doesn't work, but that isn't a deal breaker for the newest Android for me.

Try the Always On AMOLED app from the store. I've been using that for the last year as an alternative to the broken AOD on Android 10. I haven't noticed any significant battery drain, perhaps because, as the name suggests, it's designed for AMOLED displays.
@Osprey00
Ty so much. This app seems a lot better. I had an issue at first where the permissions wouldn't go through, I just killed the app and cache and reloaded then it worked.
It also seemed to drain the battery a ton at first, but then I rebooted my phone and stopped messing with the settings so it seems fine now.
I also was wrong about tethering working, I could only get tethering to work via Wifi, not mobile data for internet, which defeats the purpose, maybe someone has some ideas viewing this?

Even though you worked around it by using the app that I recommended and may even prefer to continue using it, I just saw this AOD fix on Telegram, credit to ɐoɔɐɾ:
This should fix the black screen bug when waking the device from sleep with aod on
This is tested and confirmed to work on DotOS and LineageOS A11, it is not for A10 and may not work on other A11 roms
Flash this after first boot, may not fix ddtw

Hi, I have just flashed this ROM and it is great so far. Everything works fine exept finger print sensor. I am able to unlock the device etc. but sensor is not accessible in some apps (internet banking, Lastpass). Have you experienced this issue, too? It is a bit annoying, especially for these apps wher biometrics is essential. Thank you.

Yes. Use the microg settings to grant the spoof permission (tap the unchecked "system spoofs signature" box to trigger the requst) and run
Code:
pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE
Thanks for the build, it seems solid. Some minor features (e.g. edge lighting, voicemail notifications) that didn't work on HavocOS for me work out of the box here. There are only two issues so far:
- The styles and wallpapers system app doesn't work: it won't open whether accessed from the launcher or in the settings menu. I can change wall papers and icons using the shortcuts from long pressing on the home screen, but not theme/colors (it crashes if I pick that tab)
- I cannot get file transfer over USB to work; the phone doesn't show up in Windows explorer. It's not my box or cable; the same setup works just fine for USB debugging or file transfer in TWRP. I had the same issue on HavocOS, but there swapping off file transfer and back would trigger detection, but not on this ROM
This ROM has less customization than some (you can't swap the navbar layout, for example) but this looks nice. I'll try this out as a daily driver for a week or two and see.

I fixed the USB issue by doing a reinstall and not using the stock kdz first (flashing directly to a fresh format). According to the dev, the styles app requires GApps, so it won't work if you use microG
I'm also having success with this ROM. I tried a couple of other (A 10 based) ROMs, but couldn't get the wifi to work despite loading old modems etc. Revenge appears to be fully functional (with the exception of spotty fingerprint access as noted above). For me the hotspot also worked straightaway.
Nice rom, simple whit FMradio application.
Installed on a freshly unlocked and rooted H930 with pico Gapps (open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20210130-TEST.zip). But I'm stupid, I saw the instructions afterwards, and I didn't install a recent pie stock rom after the root, I've install directly this rom.
The wifi and USB transfer does not work. The wifi can be fixed with the fix for Android 10 : see here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/q-wifi-fix-for-north-american-variants.4012635/post-83473401.

[DISCONTINUED][ROM][9.0][SM-G930F] Lightheart OS [30/10/2020]

Lightheart 1.0 - The key to speed.​
Hi everyone. My name is Skulldron and for those of you who do recognise me, know me as the creator of Project Pixel, another one of the greatest ways to emulate the Pixel Experience, whilst keeping all the benefits of using OneUI and its stock optimized drivers as its base. Today I'm going to introduce something, different. Over the years of working on Touchwiz based ROMs, I've learnt the description of every little apk, every little permission, what it accepts and what it rejects, its pros and its cons. As a result of this experience, I have one of the best debloat lists out there, with each item on the debloat list, being tested, through extensive testing, and it goes over every file and every partition known in the OneUI OS. This exact same debloat script was used in Project Pixel, which has received positive review after positive review for how efficient and how lightweight OneUI became after the debloat. Today however, I present to you Lightheart OS, a new project that I will be building myself and updating monthly. Today I showcase Lionheart, the Lineage OS to my Cyanogenmod.
Key Features:
1. Heavily Debloated System: The debloat script that was made by me, has over 250+ debloated permissions, apks and other files.
2. Better Battery Performance due to Efficiency - With the removal of an incredible amount of bloat, along with better performance and lesser services, you should be looking at better SOTs and better standby times.
3. Kernel Power Control: With MTweaks and Magisk, you will be able to control your device’s clock speed and be able to force higher GPU and CPU Clock, when doing more intensive tasks such as gaming.
4. Better Kernel Performance - Due to the deepness of the debloat, the kernel now has more RAM and more space to be more efficient and allow it to focus on less threads at once.
5. Latest available patch with the promise of updates every month - Every month an update is released, the ROM will be updated along with it, with a time frame of 1-2 weeks.
6. Restored some stock Google Permissions - Some stock google framework was restored, such as the default setup wizard.
7. All Essential Samsung Features have been kept - All essential OneUI features have been kept alive, for the sole purpose of necessity.
8. Completely Deknoxed -The ROM has been Deknoxed and FRP lock measures have been disabled
9. VoLTE Supported
Individual Features:
1. AdAway
2. Eleven Music
3. Files GO
4. GBoard
5. Android Pie AOSP Emojis
6. Lightheart X Boot Animation
7. AOSP System Sounds
8. Samsung Gallery (Stripped Down and lightened to improve performance)
9. Samsung's Stock Camera with HDR parameter changes, debloated and additional video modes
10. SystemUI Tuner (Provides battery stats along with other useful customizations - Check QS icons and add it to QS Panel to view)
11. YouTube Vanced (Ad-free Youtube)
12. Mtweaks (Has Hardware Control - Similar to Kernel Adiutor but more tailored to Exynos)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: (Backup everything,contacts, photos etc.)
1. Download the zip and download the latest Magisk (ROM will not boot if Magisk is not flashed due to encryption procedures)
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache
3. Flash the zip and flash Magisk.
Notes:
- To view Battery Stats and Storage, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.
- Set Trebuchet as default launcher, for better battery savings. OneUI Home was only included for its app switcher.

1.0 - Initial Release

wow, ... and echo cancellation works perfect ... but two things that I miss so far
the option "kill app back button" in the settings -> developer options ... please don't forget to build-in
the possibility to mount the SD card in the file system
Both options are default in LOS ... and yes, I know it was an initial release.
Thx for your work. we are hopefully waiting for the improvements!

Download and trying to install tonight
Info regarding phone stuck on boot pic
Hi there,
I have little experience with custom roms etc. I had installed LineageOS some moths ago as my phone was working poorly on stock rom and now with LOS 17.1 was starting to have problems again. Like an hour ago decided after some research to install this rom. However, after flasing the rom and magisk (I couldnt flash Gapps as error 20 appeared), my phone got completely stuck on boot picture (SAMSUNG GALAXY S7; POWERED BY ANDROID). I have both tried to get into twrp (previously installed) and download mode. No luck in any of the cases. I have tried to do the same from odin, to flash again twrp. However, as I cannot access download mode, I didnt work.
Now, I´m trying my best to figure out how to install some OS and continue from there, or at least be able to flash twrp and install another ROM.
I would much appreciate any advice in the matter.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: NEW SITUATION. No need of help anymore (by now)

Hi All, has anyone got EdXposed working?
I've installed magisk 21.1, riru core 21.3 , and riru YAHFA 0.4.6.4 EdXposed manager shows framework not active :/
Does mobile hotspot work?
I've been looking for a ROM that has kept the Samsung gallery and camera so I want to try this ROM. but I need to be able to use mobile hotspot so please let me know if it works fine. Thx
Hello, the ROM works great. There are some minor things. Like always on display does not work with option to tap the screen to show for 10 seconds. Also for some reason I can't instal Revolut from the play store. And lastly Titanium backup does not restore all the apps. I could not figure out a way how to make that work.
The hotspot works fine on mine.
I had the same issue with Titanium backup.
In the end I used split screen and installed each app from the play store, then restored data only.
Has anyone got xposed working?
Gapps
Do I need to flash gapps or is it included?
I'm currently using lineage is 16 with gapps. Do I need to flash gapps again if flashing a ROM again? Sorry I'm a newbie.

@Skulldron, thanks for the ROM, works great and it's stable. Just few things. Could you please update the Adaway app? There is a newer stable version on xda available. I tried to update it myself but it was not possible. Also could you please fix the Always on display function? The tap on screen option does not work.

As I experienced from other ROM that based on Note FE base, the Galaxy S7 cant show AOD with tap to show mode due to hardware problem, so please choose always show option on the setting
Flashing a different rom, I do like this rom but need xposed and it's annoying that YouTube and adaway are system apps.

Youtube and Adaway can be removed with System App remover or Link2sd from Play Store. Then you restart the S7 and install Adaway from github and Vanced.app
I do like this rom, espicially the first boot right after install, which was really fast, made an impression. Probably the most battery friendly and lite-weight One UI-Rom one can find. One usability problem for me was the *missing feature that increased touch sensitivity*. With my screenprotector on, I have to push harder and several times before successfully pulling down the notification bar or when writing or selecting.
Is it just me or is SmartSwitch taking a long time/not restoring messages? I get to the part when it would start restoring messages but then it just never loads.. other then that, the ROM is great!

Thanks for porting this ROM to our old OP5!
I'm on the 10.0 version of Pixel Experience, can I dirty flash on top of it ? Or do I need to erase everything before flashing this version ?

Clean flash please, you don't have to wipe internal storage if you do that btw.
Ok clean flash done! Everything seems to be working great!
Everything is fast and smooth! I have not spend enough time for now to see if there is any unusual battery drain.
There is only one minor thing: I can't activate gesture navigation and disable hardware keys (I got used to it with the previous Pixel Experiment version ) Is there something I am missing here ? or should I just be patient and maybe hope for it in a future release ?
Thanks again for the work you have done!

I noticed that isn't present also in Pixel Experience Android 11. Maybe it's a feature not implemented yet and we should wait. Because the Android 10 versions worked fine.
This one is a keeper
Being lazy I tried dirty flashing over YAAP since they come from the same family tree. All worked well and things are looking great. If I find something odd, I'll do a clean flash.
Thank you, Dev's, for all your work
Face unlock works like a charm!
Are you people trying to Kill XDA (that actually enabled all this) by posting only on Telegram?
Everything seems to work fine, as in rock solid. Ive enabled Face unlock and have a couple of feature request for upcoming builds. Assistive light for Face un-lock, and while you're at it, traffic indicator in taskbar (plenty apps for it just a nice to have) and lastly, I like battery to show % in taskbar without the Icon (text only).
This is Like OOS 10.0.1 BUT MUCH BETTER

Hi,
I am on Resurrection Remix rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-official-op5-5t-10-resurrection-remix-11-nov-2020.4165947/) and I would like to try this rom. Can you tell what are the best step to go from RR rom to this one ?
Thanks in advance.
P.s. my phone is encrypted
Thanks developer. I have a question
1) Is there a recent app menu like Oreo and previous versions?
2) Is there a smartbar navbar option within the navigation buttons
3) Will the two features I mentioned above be added in future versions even if they are not now?

The New XDA app is up and working.

I decided to do a clean install (dirtyflashed over YAAP before with everything working) just to make sure there was no issues with settings.
Two things came up after restoring all apps.
Android Auto has gone missing, it's installed on the phone but does not show up in the launcher (Nova or Pixel) I actually downloaded again from apk mirror and reinstalled but no difference.
Also, Nova no longer finds backups on the device storage? It does find backups on document storage.
All and any suggestions would be welcome, both of the above issues where not present after dirtyflash over YAAP???

You shouldn’t wipe anything when flashing the kernel. If the stock kernel works fine, I don’t see why mine shouldn’t
Everything is working perfectly, thanks for the guide. I installed the PixelExperience GSI but for some reason Fingerprint sensor is not working. The process is stuck on "Touch the sensor" and the sensor is not lighting up. Yes, I set the color of fingerprint sensor to White (and even tried all other colors).
I even have the following options checked
- Enable Extra Sensor
- Enable workaround for broken fingerprint sensor
- Enable workaround for white-ish screen
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

I don't know what could be the issue, maybe try to google or try disabling and enabling the fingerprint lock again.
I have tried few GSI Roms. Here is my summary:
Android 13
- AOSP, Android 13, No image with GAPPs pre-installed and cannot seem to install it. Tried NikGAPPs, and LiteGAPPs, both didn't work
- Google GSI, Android 13, same issue
- Pixel Experience, Android 13, GAPPs pre-installed but Fingerprint sensor won't get detected.
Android 12
- AOSP, Android 12, GAPPs pre-installed, Fingerprint sensor detected (changing color to white). Will stick to it unless there is an issue detected.

I got the image from AOSP under the official Android 12/12L section. You can find release here. The exact image I got is the system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps-secure.img.xz one since the standard gapps one came with an app called "superuser" which I couldn't seem to uninstall (I tried the scripts to remove supersu). This caused my banking apps to not run. That is why I installed the "secure" one and then installed Magisk and added my banking apps to the defylist.

I think VoLTE was available as an option in one of the ROM I tested but I don't remember exactly. Currently AOSP 12 doesn't support it. Hotspot worked on every ROM just fine.

Hi Mian,
Thanks for your response. When I typed my question I realized that in the end I want to have and de-googled phone. So I changed my question in the direction of MicroG. I didn't expect you to be so quick with answering.

I haven't tried MicroG in any of the ROM. I just to have as little Google apps as possible but if you do find a good guide, let me know, I will try to use a de-googled phone.

I've installed MicroG. But it seems AOSP doen't allaw support system spoofs signature. Play services (GmsCore) is installed but without the spoofed signature it can't do much I guess...
I have been using AOSP Android 12 for the past week or so. Most of the things just plain works but somethings don't. Here is the list of things that are not working so you can decide if the hassle of installing GSI is worth it or not.
- Proximity Sensor is worse than it was in OneUI. Yes, it is a virtual sensor but on OneUI, it worked better. Now, it is worse. More often than not, it turns on the screen during the call. It would have been better if it simply didn't work.
- The viewport of default camera App in the AOSP displays picture in 4:3 but the camera hardware is giving out 16:9, so the viewport was squeezed. After installing GCam everything is good.
- Fingerprint Sensor simply doesn't work in-app like those in banking apps. It works on the lock screen but nowhere else.
- USB Audio Devices don't work. I have a USB-C to A OTG where I used to insert my headphones. On OneUI they used to work but here they don't. Storage devices work.
- 120 Hz felt smoother on OneUI.
Hello everyone
I managed to install LineageOS with working GApps and camera using this guide, so a big thanks to everyone who worked on flashing this phone
If anyone wants to install it, you need to:
Chose a bgN package (I installed this one : https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN-vndklite.img.xz/download). It includes the GApps. You won't be able to install GApps after installing a vanilla (bvS / bvN) package. For some reasons, the /system partition is too small.
For unlocking camera and install magisk, just flash this kernel : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-12-13-a528b-n-mesas-custom-kernel-r4.4490653/
I also installed magiskhide prop conf module, but I'm not sure it changed anything and the camera fix was probably already in the MCK. You can find it here anyway : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...safetynet-prop-edits-and-more-v6-1-2.3789228/
