FAQ

What are the requirements for official devices?

Official devices MUST fulfill the following criteria:

• Enforcing SELinux with proper policies
• Encrypted by default with forceencrypt enabled
• No overclocking of CPU, GPU or panel
• No added bloatware like different stock camera apps or unneeded proprietary blobs
• Kernel with regular merges of linux-stable
• No major broken features (Wifi, UDFPS, NFC, ...)
• Safetynet passing on microG and GApps builds
• Working builds for vanilla, microG and GApps
• userdebug and user builds must both build and work fine
• Maintainer must be active in the Developer Telegram group
• No changes to the ROM (removing/adding applications and so on)
• No pre-rooted kernels (includes KernelSU)
• Properly credited commit authorship

They also SHOULD fulfill the following criteria additionally:

• Kernel compilation with Clang + LLVM Binutils without GCC or GNU Binutils
• Kernel compilation with our default LLVM toolchain version
• No replacements for repositories provided by Kenvyra
• Latest encryption standards (such as FBEv2 instead of FBEv1)
• Flashable kernel variant with regular merges of linux-hardened
• Highest possible architecture optimizations possible in device tree (like ARMv8.2-a+dotprod instead of generic ARMv8 on Cortex-A76 SoCs)

Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis (for example in the case of platforms not fully supported in AOSP, temporary patches that aren't generic may be applied).
