Hi Everyone,

Sad news!

Looks like, the automated builds have come to halt until further notice.

Apparently, after release, due to long running workflow, Github decided to flag the account as it went on to execute for 9 hours while building user and elite builds.

I will try reaching github support to get some assistance but looking at the history of response on the issues, the chances of this getting resolved are very thin.

In the meantime, if anyone has any bright ideas to circumvent this issue - please feel free to share it - @NikGappsGroup

Thank you, and apologies for the inconvenience.

Alright guys,

We have a workaround for automated builds (until Github decides to enable Github Actions again) and it's going to continue (unless Github finds a way to disable that)

All your config builds (User Builds) will be created as it is.

Enjoy!

Rom Developers,

NikGapps A15 is ready in beta. Feel free to PM (@inikhilmenghani) if you want to test it out.

#Android15 #A15 #NikGapps15

Thanks to @neobuddy89 for initial a15 Rom, @sHarJeelsarwar for testing.

NikGapps A15 beta builds are for Rom developers and testers who can run initial tests and are willing to help make the builds better for everyone's benefit. It's not for those who wants to have a taste for their own benefit and not contribute towards helping the community. Reach out to me only if you're willing to contribute towards the community and are ready to share logcat/logs.

Feel free to ask your Rom developer if you want to just use it for your device.
