Resurrection Remix comes with a plethora of configurations, tweaking options, and a separate kernel or performance section as well. All these can be found in the Settings app. With these options, you get all the customization you will ever need in your Android system. Moreover, lineage OS is built over AOSP sources.

If you are running stable 10.0.1 you can local upgrade to OB3 withoutno problem
But if you running open beta already you need to be in OB2 Q before updating to OB3 Q.
Here's the step by step guide:
Note: disable magisk modules and substratum first if ever you have. DON'T FORGET!!

(Copy this to your PC you need this later)
1-3. Download Magisk Manager APK (if you don't have this installed yet.)
2. Update using local upgrade
3. Reboot
4. Allow it to boot up and wait few minutes to let finish the update completely.
5. Reboot to bootloader - fastboot
6. Type
fastboot flash boot_a "bootname".img
fastboot flash boot_b "bootname".img
(Without " ")
7. Type: fastboot reboot
- Install Magisk Manager APK, (if you don't have it)
8. Re enable your modules and everything then reboot one last time
9. Lastly, sit down and relax

OP for OB3 Q update

Nice guide!
After doing that , how to install TWRP ?

This might be living dangerously, but I was able to upgrade from rooted OB2 to OB3 in the following minimal steps:
- Download OB3 full OTA
- In Settings > System > System updates, tap gear icon and local upgrade to OB3
- In Magisk Manager, install Magisk to inactive slot
- Reboot
All good in OB3 including EdXposed and other previously installed Magisk modules.

[ROM][11.0_r68]JAGUAR ONEPLUS 8T OFFICIAL V33 Updated June 6, 2023

TELEGRAM CHANNEL ADDED: HERE
TELEGRAM CHAT GROUP: HERE
See important discussion about Kernel Updates and Security: here
Jaguar is available on locked bootloader with working root (Magisk)
VERSION 19 FIXES SAFETYNET ISSUES WHEN USING MAGISK 24.3
See complete instructions Here
You can actually use alarm when the phone is shut down. It would boot 2 minutes prior to scheduled time and trigger the alarm on time
This is official build of Jaguar Rom.
I have been building Android roms since 2012 for various devices including multiple Sonys, Lenovo Zuk, Oneplus 3, Oneplus 5 and Oneplus 6. You can check my Oneplus 6 or Oneplus 6T or Oneplus 8 threads and browse my profile.
Jaguar rom is focused on hardening of AndroidOS and kernel. As such, the rom has hardened bionic, art, framework and tightened security.
1 Rom control with custom Power options, Statusbar, Buttons, Navbar, Quicksettings, Lockscreen, Notifications, Gestures, Themes etc...
2. Heavily modified Art, Bionic System/Vold and System/Security
3. Telephony response to Type Zero sms ('silently acknowledged') disabled
4. Toggle to disable Captive Portal logging.
5. Speakerphone proximity sensor toggle - could be set to automatically switch to speaker when not at the ear
6. IMEI and phone numbers hidden in About menu
7. Built-in encrypted DNS providers, such as: Cloudflare (US); LibreDns (Germany); AdguardDns (Cyprus); and PowerDns (Netherlands)
8. Wakelock and Alarmblocker
9. Fully working Call recording with the button visible in Dialer
10. A choice between the latest Bromite and Vanadium webview
11. Deskclock app modified to work with PowerOn alarm. The app will boot the phone 2 minutes before scheduled time to trigger the alarm on time
12. Default Dark mode
13. All regular customizations plus. You tell me which feature is missing.
14. Prebuilt Magisk. You don't have to flash it, just install the attached Magisk.apk.
Install instructions:
If this is your first time coming from stock to a custom rom, you MUST have Android 11 stock in both slots. So, either have a few stock updates over the air (to populate the second slot) or flash stock rom with TWRP. Downgrade, if necessary.
1. Install Jaguar recovery via fastboot: reboot in fastboot and execute the following commands on your connected PC terminal:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_b recovery img
2. Download the rom on your PC. Boot the phone into recovery, set recovery for sideloading, then type on your PC terminal (which should be opened in the same directory where you had downloaded the rom):
Code:
adb sideload 'name of the rom'
3. Factory reset and reboot. You are done. If you want root, DO NOT FLASH MAGISK ZIP, just install Magisk manager (apk) as a normal app.

The rom could be used on locked bootloader with ROOT (donate feature) with or without Gapps.
The benefits of LOCKED BOOTLOADER combined with WORKING AVB-2 protection are:
Get back your DRM L1 certificate. Most banking apps will work regardless of Magisk.
Security: Nobody and nothing can modify Kernel, Recovery and Virtual Partitions without triggering a red screen of death with the message 'your device is corrupted and cannot boot'.
At that point, the only option is to unlock bootloader. But, if a user had previously disabled OEM unlock in Developer settings, then unlocking becomes unavailable, and so does flashing via fastboot. In other words, if your phone gets into the hands of an adversary, their only option is to use MSM tool to make the phone work again, but no access to your data or any other partition.
Why prebuilt Magisk? Because you can't modify kernel or recovery on locked bootloader post installation, and that's exactly what Magisk does.
See attached som screenshots:

If downloading from XDA, always use your browser in private mode

System navigation don't work,

Everything works fine. You just need to toggle back and forth navbar in Settings/RomContro/Navigation bar. As far as the rest, you can switch to 2, 3 buttons or Gesture navigation.
Also, it would make sense to search for settings first. For example, type 'Gestures' in Settings/Search, and you'll get about 10 different settings.
You can do edge gestures. You can pick out of variety of actions to assign to edge gestures including 'kill app' etc.

That's what i've done,
Flash twice, whithout gapps, and with open gapps,
Try to enable 3 gestures, navigation bar, switch, reboot,
Nothing to do, will try again later,
Thx.

I just checked on my Oneplus 8: everything switches fine without reboot. Also, my Kebab tester didn't mention he couldn't switch between buttons and gestures.

Actually, this is what the tester initially said:
Also, with gesture nav enabled, occasionally the go home (swipe up from gesture nav pill) stops working. The swipe from edge to go back will work still, but swiping up to try to go home doesn't do anything. No haptic feedback, no anything.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
However, when I told him about additional settings that he can configure even the sensitivity of edge gestures separately on the left and right, and enable haptic feedback, everything became normal. So, clearly he could switch between gestures and buttons.
Did you do factory reset aftery initial flashing? You also need factory reset after installing Gapps for the first time.

I usually factory reset before flashing,
Will come back on this rom on thursday, maybe tomorow in the evening.

pls. add single tap feature (oneplus settings), rom is very smooth, i like it

Ok couple quick questions.
With locking the bootloader magisk will still work as usual?
Which webview alt do you recommend? And why? (Haven't heard of the vanadium until now and quick look makes it seem like might not have some functionality outside of graphene os)

Yes. Magisk is already in kernel. You just need to install Magisk manager as a normal app, and you have root. So, there is no need to flash it. In fact, if you flash Magisk on locked bootloader, you won't boot.
Just because Graphene's developer says no use outside of Graphene doesn't make it so. I have no Googleplay on my phone and use Vanadium on Jaguar with zero issues. But Vanadium is known for blocking some Google servers, which breaks account registration. So, for users who want Gapps etc, it's Bromite, which is enabled by default.

phabet said:

The reason there is no single tap is to prevent false positive screen wake-ups, when the phone is in your pocket or from other accidental touches.

But of course: either PM or there is a clickable option in Settings/System.

How do you install gapps with your rom? I keep getting not enough space errors when I try.
Using TWRP, then adb sideload from recovery.

As I said in another Oneplus 8 thread, the whole rom is optimized for performance, not size. It is also heavily deodexed for the same purpose. If a normal system app has 20mb, deodexed, when odexed, it will grow into 60mb. So, it is possible that System partition doesn't have enough space.
A release with reworked partition sizes is coming. For now use PICO Gapps. After installation, you can add items you like from Playstore, which will go to Data partition that has plenty of space.

Can't wait to try this ROM.
All the extra hardening and security are a important and unique feature .
I have noticed on the screenshots at displays relock bootloader, how does that exactly work? A script ? run the fastboot commands needed to lock the bootloader?
Thanks for the release

NOTICE: The steps below will trip Knox & possibly void your Warranty; following these steps will perform a mandatory data wipe due to Bootloader status changes, so please make sure you back up any/all of your important files somewhere else other than your phone's storage.
STEP 1: UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER:​
1. Enable Developer Options; you can do this by going to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information -> Tap "Build Number" 7 times and enter your phone's pin if prompted.
2. Open Developer Options and enable the "Allow OEM Unlocking" option.
3. Shut down your phone.
4. Connect your phone to your PC or connect your headphones to boot into Download Mode with the combination (HOLD VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN)
5. Press and hold the volume up button (Bootloader unlock screen)
6. Once on the bootloader unlock screen, press the volume up button to confirm the unlock (WARNING: This action will perform a factory reset, and the phone may restart once or twice (this is normal), you will soon boot back into the Setup wizard, skip this initial setup there is no need to login to anything.)
7. Enable Developer options again (Follow Step 1) and check that the OEM toggle is enabled & greyed out.
8. Congratulations, you have unlocked the Bootloader and are ready to continue to the next step.
STEP 2: FLASHING TWRP + PATCHED VBMETA:​1. Download TWRP for your device.
2. Boot your phone into Download Mode.
3. Single press Volume Up to start ODIN Mode
4. Load ODIN on your PC.
5. Go to options and untick "Auto Reboot"
6. Select the (USERDATA) slot and select the downloaded file from Step 1.
7. Click start on ODIN and wait for it to finish.
8. Upon a pass, keep the phone connected to your PC or headphones, then hold the Power button + Volume down button; as soon as the screen goes black, hold the Power button and Volume UP button.
9. You should now be in TWRP.
STEP 3: INITIAL TWRP STEPS:​1. Do a complete data wipe (Wipe -> Format Data -> Type "yes")
2. Reboot back into RECOVERY (Reboot -> Recovery)
3. Download the latest Unbound release and copy it to your phone (PC to Phone) or a USB OTG device, or if you have SD Card, you could store it on that.
STEP 4: INSTALLING UNBOUNDROM:​1. In TWRP, click "Install" if using a USB OTG device, press "Select storage", and press "USB OTG" or "SD Card" if using an SD Card.
2. Browse to the location you stored the ROM zip.
3. Swipe to confirm the flash.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions, select your desired features, and wait for the ROM to install.
5. When the ROM has finished installing, press "Save Logs" to send to the Developer if you bump into any issues.
6. Reboot into the System.
7. Do the setup wizard as usual.
8. Congratulations, you have successfully installed UnboundROM and are good to go! Enjoy!
Spoiler: Other ROM to UnboundROM
CLEAN FLASH (RECOMMENDED)​
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Load UnboundROM zip
3. In Wipe Options, select "Clean Install"
4. Follow the on-screen instructions, and wait for UnboundROM to be installed.
5. Boot into the system.
DIRTY FLASH (NOT RECOMMENDED)
A dirty flash may or may not work, as we cannot guarantee that flashing UnboundROM over the top of another ROM will cause any issues. So, therefore, we do not recommend it, but of course, it is your device and your responsibility, so please feel free to make your own choice here but do not come to our chats and complain about issues caused by a dirty flash over another custom ROM.​
Spoiler: Unbound version update (V1.1 to V1.2 etc)
When updating versions of Unbound, it is very dependent on what version you are currently running and the version you want to update to, an example being if you are on V1.0 and want to update to V1.1, a dirty flash would be fine unless stated in the OP otherwise.
However, if you say you are upgrading the OS version, i.e. OneUI 3 to OneUI 4, you would need to update your device to the latest firmware first via SamFirm/Frija/hadesFirm etc.​
Please take note of the changelogs of each version as they will state the requirements to update and if a clean flash will be required or not.
When a dirty flash is impossible, and you need to update your device to the latest/specified firmware, please follow the recommended steps below. These steps will assume you are already running UnboundROM:
1. Download the latest/required firmware using either samFirm, Frija or hadesFirm
2. Unzip the firmware zip and remove the .md5 from the end of each file name.
3. Boot your phone into download mode, load Odin, turn off Auto reboot options, and load the files into the relevant slots. ( BL = BL, AP = AP, CP = CP, CSC = HOME_CSC) (IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE "HOME_CSC" TO KEEP YOUR DATA INTACT)
4. Press start, and wait for it to complete.
5. When complete, keeping the phone connected to the PC, boot your phone into TWRP, and load the latest/downloaded rom.zip
6. Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for the ROM to be installed.
7. When the installation is complete, press the "Save Log" button in case of any issues.
8. Congratulations, you have successfully updated your version of UnboundROM. Boot to the system and enjoy!

Yes.

Hello there,
I installed your rom (clean install obviously) but i can't use it. For me there are a lot of issue, no gestures, when i pull down notification bar i can't change or add or remove toggles, there isn't a magnifying glass to look for in settings, i can't return in twrp from system. I'm sorry but or i wrong something or there are these issues, and it's difficult that i wrong something.
See you to next build

It happens that doing a clean installation, I can practically not use the phone and the power off button does not respond. The rom promises.

So this isn't a flushable rom? No success stories?

Issues have been addressed, there were some errors in the aroma, causing setup apps to be debloated no matter what was ticked.

Will wait for the custom kernel

Very good and intuitive STEP by STEP instructions for installation. Well done!
Heavily looking forward to the KERNEL release!

NOTICE: The steps below will trip Knox & possibly void your Warranty; following these steps will perform a mandatory data wipe due to Bootloader status changes, so please make sure you back up any/all of your important files somewhere else other than your phone's storage.
STEP 1: UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER:​
1. Enable Developer Options; you can do this by going to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information -> Tap "Build Number" 7 times and enter your phone's pin if prompted.
2. Open Developer Options and enable the "Allow OEM Unlocking" option.
3. Shut down your phone.
4. Connect your phone to your PC or connect your headphones to boot into Download Mode with the combination (HOLD VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN)
5. Press and hold the volume up button (Bootloader unlock screen)
6. Once on the bootloader unlock screen, press the volume up button to confirm the unlock (WARNING: This action will perform a factory reset, and the phone may restart once or twice (this is normal), you will soon boot back into the Setup wizard, skip this initial setup there is no need to login to anything.)
7. Enable Developer options again (Follow Step 1) and check that the OEM toggle is enabled & greyed out.
8. Congratulations, you have unlocked the Bootloader and are ready to continue to the next step.
STEP 2: FLASHING TWRP + PATCHED VBMETA:​1. Download TWRP for your device.
2. Boot your phone into Download Mode.
3. Single press Volume Up to start ODIN Mode
4. Load ODIN on your PC.
5. Go to options and untick "Auto Reboot"
6. Select the (USERDATA) slot and select the downloaded file from Step 1.
7. Click start on ODIN and wait for it to finish.
8. Upon a pass, keep the phone connected to your PC or headphones, then hold the Power button + Volume down button; as soon as the screen goes black, hold the Power button and Volume UP button.
9. You should now be in TWRP.
STEP 3: INITIAL TWRP STEPS:​1. Do a complete data wipe (Wipe -> Format Data -> Type "yes")
2. Reboot back into RECOVERY (Reboot -> Recovery)
3. Download the latest Unbound release and copy it to your phone (PC to Phone) or a USB OTG device, or if you have SD Card, you could store it on that.
STEP 4: INSTALLING UNBOUNDROM:​1. In TWRP, click "Install" if using a USB OTG device, press "Select storage", and press "USB OTG" or "SD Card" if using an SD Card.
2. Browse to the location you stored the ROM zip.
3. Swipe to confirm the flash.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions, select your desired features, and wait for the ROM to install.
5. When the ROM has finished installing, press "Save Logs" to send to the Developer if you bump into any issues.
6. Reboot into the System.
7. Do the setup wizard as usual.
8. Congratulations, you have successfully installed UnboundROM and are good to go! Enjoy!
Spoiler: Other ROM to UnboundROM
CLEAN FLASH (RECOMMENDED)​
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Load UnboundROM zip
3. In Wipe Options, select "Clean Install"
4. Follow the on-screen instructions, and wait for UnboundROM to be installed.
5. Boot into the system.
DIRTY FLASH (NOT RECOMMENDED)
A dirty flash may or may not work, as we cannot guarantee that flashing UnboundROM over the top of another ROM will cause any issues. So, therefore, we do not recommend it, but of course, it is your device and your responsibility, so please feel free to make your own choice here but do not come to our chats and complain about issues caused by a dirty flash over another custom ROM.​
Spoiler: Unbound version update (V1.1 to V1.2 etc)
When updating versions of Unbound, it is very dependent on what version you are currently running and the version you want to update to, an example being if you are on V1.0 and want to update to V1.1, a dirty flash would be fine unless stated in the OP otherwise.
However, if you say you are upgrading the OS version, i.e. OneUI 3 to OneUI 4, you would need to update your device to the latest firmware first via SamFirm/Frija/hadesFirm etc.​
Please take note of the changelogs of each version as they will state the requirements to update and if a clean flash will be required or not.
When a dirty flash is impossible, and you need to update your device to the latest/specified firmware, please follow the recommended steps below. These steps will assume you are already running UnboundROM:
1. Download the latest/required firmware using either samFirm, Frija or hadesFirm
2. Unzip the firmware zip and remove the .md5 from the end of each file name.
3. Boot your phone into download mode, load Odin, turn off Auto reboot options, and load the files into the relevant slots. ( BL = BL, AP = AP, CP = CP, CSC = HOME_CSC) (IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE "HOME_CSC" TO KEEP YOUR DATA INTACT)
4. Press start, and wait for it to complete.
5. When complete, keeping the phone connected to the PC, boot your phone into TWRP, and load the latest/downloaded rom.zip
6. Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for the ROM to be installed.
7. When the installation is complete, press the "Save Log" button in case of any issues.
8. Congratulations, you have successfully updated your version of UnboundROM. Boot to the system and enjoy!

Brilliant, not tried the rom but love the fact you've taken the time and energy to have all the necessary details to successfully flash your rom coming from stock unrooted phone!
Newbie could follow this, will provide feedback once I've used your rom!
Brillant approach

I really want to flash this rom, however, support seems nonexistent and it sou ds like there are still issues with the aroma file.
Somehow it's funny to post questions about a rom? Gotta love the keyboard warriors, keep it up, I'm sure you are doing great things in the android community

I am away on trips at the moment, I will look into issues as soon as I can, I am nowhere near my PC.

I went a b ead and flasbed this rom and what a surprise. Tons of aroma options. 0 issues flashing. Smooth and I have seen 0 issues in 24 hours. Thanks for your work. I look forward to your kernel also.

Any update for this nice rom ??
