Hello, everyone!
We have decided to release custom ROMs regardless of Nothing not upstreaming the kernel properly, because we do not expect them to do so. We are forced to stick with the older kernel, but it is not going to cause much issues.
So here's a little sneak peak from YAAP based on Android 16 QPR0. This ROM will be released alongside LineageOS 22.2
A huge thanks to our testers and devs, and especially Ethan (AKA Mashopy or Elias) for making this possible.
You wouldn't need to worry about banking apps not working and all the other shenanigans for the most part, because both of these ROMs will come bundled with the fenrir exploit, which spoofs the bootloader to be locked, which will guarantee strong device integrity.
