Microg build
Added dialer app
Fixed that search bar in launcher (go to launcher settings - home screen once to make it go away)
Still microg when I try to log in ,server error for my google account so I don't know if it works
Will release it if only people are interested but it has no browser and need to manually download and place apk in phone and install it, microg userdebug build ?

Regarding Powerhint
1. What is Powerhint vs No Powerhint?
Powerhint is a performance boost signal Android sends to the Power HAL during actions like touch, app launch, scrolling, gaming, or camera use.
It tells the HAL to temporarily raise CPU/GPU/DDR frequencies for smooth performance.
No Powerhint means the system only follows normal scheduler behavior with no temporary boosts.
Performance becomes more stable but less responsive.
2. What is Qualcomm (QTI) Powerhint vs libperfmanager Powerhint?
QTI Powerhint (XML)
Used on Snapdragon/Qualcomm devices
File: powerhint.xml
Uses MPCTL resource IDs (0x4080xxxx, 0x4280xxxx)
Works with Qualcomm’s Power HAL + perf daemon
Controls CPU/GPU/DDR/LLC at hardware level
Required for camera, video, and gaming boosts
libperfmanager Powerhint (JSON)
Used on Pixel and pure AOSP devices
File: powerhint.json
Writes directly to sysfs (software-level)
Controls CPU freq, GPU boost, scheduler clamps
Pixel-style boosting, not hardware-specific
They are completely different systems.
3. Why can’t you use libperfmanager JSON Powerhint in CLO ROMs?
Because CLO ROMs use Qualcomm’s Power HAL, and Qualcomm HAL does NOT understand JSON.
JSON expects libperfmanager → Snapdragon uses QTI perf HAL.
If you mix JSON on QTI ROMs:
Boosts will not trigger
Camera/video optimizations break
GPU/CPU sysfs overrides conflict with QTI HAL
Thermal + perf daemon fight each other
Performance and battery get worse
Snapdragon hardware requires QTI XML, and JSON simply cannot be parsed or applied.
4. Which is better for battery backup — Powerhint or No Powerhint?
There is no universal answer — it depends on your goals.
Powerhint → better performance, smoother UI, faster camera, better gaming, but slightly more battery usage.
No Powerhint → more stable battery backup, but lower responsiveness and possible frame drops.
Different users prefer different behavior.
Test both and decide which suits your usage.
