This update addresses an audio routing problem that occured while using wired headphones.

How to install: Unpack the attached files using 7zip and follow the included instructions found inside README.txt. Alternatively, you can also follow my visual guide available for Microsoft Windows & Ubuntu Linux.

How to upgrade without losing data (coming from AOSP 8.1 Beta #5): Use update.bat / update.sh to install the update rather than install.bat / install.sh!

For those needing root: Magisk is included out of box and only needs to be activated on first boot. Activating Magisk is also a requirement to pass CTS certification (needed for Netflix). If you intend to use CTS certified apps, please activate Magisk before logging into your Google account.

Changelog

  • The audio HAL was updated to fix an audio routing issue that occurred after switching apps while a headphone jack was plugged in

Unfixable known issues (including fixable things that aren't up to me to fix)

  • The mma8452 accelerometer responsible for auto-rotation requires calibration after every restart, so please ensure your device is sitting on a level surface while its booting
  • It takes the Google Apps quite a bit to update fully (this will show as horrible battery life / thermals / flaky WiFi performance for the first 30 or so minutes after first connecting WiFi)
  • The Google Apps can sometimes cause crashes on first-boot (just wait for the crash messages to disappear and then reboot to shut Google's Chimera service up)
  • In-app Magisk updates will always fail (Magisk doesn't support Rockchip boot images yet, I will make sure to update the ROM's included Magisk regularly to make up for this)

Fixable known issues

  • Suspend support is provided by the ATF running in shallow (arm off + logic on) rather than S3 mode (~5% idle battery drain per hour, aka. you're better of turning the device off fully when not using it)
  • The ESP8089 WiFi driver sometimes fails to initialize after suspend (this will show by it not finding any WiFi networks, please reboot your unit if this happens)
