Notes

• The default password is 1234.
• If you see a black screen, don't worry it takes a long time to boot.
• Droidian GSIs are experimental! Bugs and missing features are expected.

Bugs

• Mobile data needs an APN to be set up from Settings -> Mobile -> Acess Point Names.
• Mobile data might stop working after making or recieving phone calls. Toggle Mobile Data from the settins off/on.
• Booting times are currently within 5-10 minutes.
• Anything related to camera only works inside Waydroid.
• Dual SIM functionality is currently not implemented in Phosh so only one SIM works at the moment.
• Currently the sideloadable zip file is broken and results in a very long bootloop, so to install Droidian the adaptation script must be used.

Final notes

• I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
• Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in the products you find here before flashing it!
• YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
