I got a problem after installation.
After following the above steps and rebooting, the phone shows the "Voltage" since 1h, I guess it is stuck somewhere.
Is there a possibility to see where/why it is looping?

for some reason, it also happened to me, since it got stuck during the boot process and I tried everything from reflashing the ROM all the way to updating the miui firmware.

No idea what is wrong with VoltageOS, but I did not see the same issue on other firmware.
I am using Havoc-OS now, the firmware installation was no problem and it runs good so far.

Logn press button when set to open custom application gets reset to default after reboot.

To hide app from launcher we have to enable app lock. It should be separated.

*Feature request - If possible make protected app's to have custom pin not the lock screen pin.

I hope you enjoy the experience, to be honest i dont have high hopes left with santoni, being able to boot a13 on this old soc is a big thing in itself. Not expecting much...

Would you mind uploading MindTheGapps-Lite-13.0.0-arm64 somewhere else where downloading does not require giving your phone number?

I've somehow figured it out! You have to install VoltageOS 1.8 (that was the last one that was working for me). And then, do a dirty flash of the newest version (only wipe dalvik & cache), and reboot. I hope this helped you. : )

still the same (it is still stuck at the boot screen when trying to boot into the os)

Did you follow op instructions how to flash?

Flash recommended orangefox recovery.

Wipe all the following
* Dalvik / ART Cache
* Cache
* System
* Vendor
* Data
- Flash latest miui firmware for your specific region
- Flash rom + gapps

"FORMAT DATA" & reboot

stop spreading rumors
i always do clean flash
and it boots in less than a minute

Hello!
This ROM is really something amazing! Love all about it.

Only problem I found, recharging battery with the device turned off, does not work,.

I love this rom, has everything and is geniously simple! Love it. keep improving it, when you can!
THANKS!

Using voltageOS-2.3

I'm using Vi sim when network settings set to LTE only incoming calls don't connect it says number is "Busy". Outgoing calls & sms working fine. When set to Gsm/wcdma/lte calling works but network override to gsm.

Didn't had this issue in any previously used rom.
Have already flashed fw before flashing vos zip.

Some info.
Signal strength of LTE -85 to -100 dBm
Volte is activated in settings

Any idea what is the issue here?

Please mention that you should format data before rebooting in the installation guide.
otherwise you get stuck at VoltageOS logo.

I switched over from LineageOS whose installation doesn't have a flash firmware step. Sorry for the noob question but may I ask how I flash the firmware, the same way I flash the ROM? Won't they overwrite each other?

Thanks so much for bringing Android 13 to Santoni!

Hi, I don't know how, but when I try to install the ROM, it only says "Invalid zip file format", I've tried to download it several times but it keeps showing this error. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Cheers, @Pranav Temkar , for this great release!

I came (frustrated) from the official Lineage 20, because the lack of VoLTE support (and WiFi and BlueTooth being deactivated)...
So I'm impressed how you got the VoLTE working with the Nougat-V048-BaseBand (and the VoLTE1 and VoLTE2-symbols)!

Please put the (unusual) info in your orignal post, that as a last step before rebooting the 'Format Data' is necessary. (I only avoided the reported bootloop-problems be reading the whole thread with others reporting it...)

As for the unfortunate trend in XDA to put many necessary files in Telegram channels, I'd always opt to offer proper links.

I can only offer my experience that combining the following files has worked for me:

twrp-3.2.3-1-santoni.img (for installing OrangeFox)
(official source: https://dl.twrp.me/santoni/ )

OrangeFox-R11.1_5-santoni-27.02.22.zip

MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64-20221025_100653.zip
(from the official source: https://mindthegapps.com/download/ )

So the last thing I'm interested in is your take on device encryption? Why have you decided against it?

Cheers again for your work! raimerik
