To be honest, this is not tablet mode at all, it has nothing to do with silly build.prop hacks. This is the first and only Android rom to feature true Hybrid mode. This rom lets you scale and project every app, every widget, even systemcomponents individually. Remember, android is modular, everything is an app: Lockscreen, navigationbar, dialogs, popups, keyboards, widgets, and your regular apps of course. Apps have the capability to switch into various designs or layouts according to the device they run on. This can result in a complete new experience as many apps will transform to the better.
Now for every element that you like chose a mode (PhoneUI, Phablet/Nexus-7UI, TabletUI) and/or a size. You are 100% independent of the system DPI which runs nicely in whatever value it has been assigned to. You do not need to boot your phone into a certain DPI. Neither will most of the changes you apply require a reboot. You will not suffer from the myriads of troubles which normally haunt you under build.prop tablet mode. Your market, phone, etc. will all work, apps won't shrink on you unless you shrink them yourself. This project will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the feel of your phone.

The Devil Kernel included is the one with Voodoo Color. You can control it with the Voodoo Color app or the Devil Kernel Config App.
The CMC (Cyanagenmod Color) version is available here. Select the one with CMC in the name.
Very interested in trying this, and i know that i can just install it and see for myself, But before I do; Does this lag alot? All the fancy stuff seems like it might bog down our "ancient" devices.

It didn't lag on ics. If you go check out my old port, a bunch of people say its really fast. Every thing is done in the coding, so it should be fast plus you got project butter on your side

Sounds like it may have had an issue mounting /data try flashing a different kernel like semaphore to see if that fixes it.
If not look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21439417
Color me really impressed. I really like the interface on this, and the lag seems to be on par as to current state of cm10.
QUESTION: the themes that are linked above, can we use them with the captivate?
I´ve been on Paranoid before but I've been on this version and semaphore kernel for a day. At first the phone worked impressivly fast. Faster than my previous JB setups and even faster than GB. I don't know why but the it has become slower and now is on par with Helly Bean with Devil's Kernel.
It appears to me that the lack of datadata partition doesn't affect the performance at all, because Helly Bean uses that partition and Paranoid don't.
The interface for adjusting the paranoid settings is excellent. In the beginnig it used to be a little bit tricky but now has evolved to a wizard who guides you along the process with really clear explanation and images.
The battery life has been great for me, losing 1% an hour on stand by and with good results while the screen is on.
The media issue is still there but its a CM10 thing, not specifically Paranoid related.
Somehow the search hardware isn´t recognized properly. It does nothing when pressed and doesn't show on the hardware key settings. This issues was present on one of the Helly Bean test builds , but was resolved in the latest release.
It's a great ROM overall and the posibilities bringed by the hybrid mode makes it stand out. Thanks a lot for the actualized port. Keep 'em coming!

I follow the instructions again, and re-do the flashing one more time.
Everything works flawlessly. Now, I need some time to stress test it.
I am on Roger's Captivate, no front camera.
First issue: Camera. Taking pics fine. all settings are fine, except the switch of camera (front and back).
As soon as that option is selected, the gallery stops. From then on, camera is not functional. Have to reset.
Great selection of language UI. That covers most of ethnic groups. A++
Is there any way that I can flash those additional language into other ROM in another phone, say: SGS II or III?
When I first installed it, i plugged my phone into my computer when the phone booted up and the option to connect USB to pc showed up, after a restart, it no longer does that. I love this rom, I've been on the PA ICS for a while and this is super fast, almost exactly as smooth as the ICS one, new fav rom!
...But please help about the pc connect thingy

It you toggle the camera (back to front) it will cause force close as the i897 has no front camera. The only way I've been able to get gallery working again is to go into app info > gallery > force stop / clear data.
To my knowledge UI languages have to be compiled with the ROM.

The themes should be usable with paranoid Android regardless of the device. However I have not tested them yet so use at your own risk.

I will look into the Helly Bean build and see if I can get his fix working on this.
SIM recognition
With you ROM installed, the SIM (Rogers) is not recognized regardless of network/carrier setup.
But with Helly Bean, it gets the carrier right away.
Wifi Tethering

Looks like there's another GB w/TabTweaks...I tried it...didn't notice too much difference...but I didn't give it a full run because Corwin's works so well for me...but I will try it out next week. (going skiing in Mammoth this weekend )

From Nook Color Thread
------------------------------------------------------
Mod has been merged to CM7
This will be in each official cm7 nightly build now starting with nightly 37 onwards... even phone users will have parts of the tweaks in their options
About
This is work-in-progress of adding highly needed tablet options to cm7 before it gets stable. Once done, it will be merged and this thread used for further development.
Most ideas are inspired or directly taken from the functionality, google added to honeycomb. Thanks to the long discussion and great feedback of this community - without you, this mod wouldnt be that good at all.
tt.RC2?
its RC2 of tablet tweaks. if i had just called it RC2, people would have asked if it includes CM7 RC4 over and over.
This SHOULD be bugfree. if it is, the sources will be merged to cm sources very soon. this thread will stay open for further development. its not yet over i want to add more stuff - but to catch the cm7 stable release, we cannot include every feature right now.

"nightly" build based on latest sources. handle like any other nightly. flash without wipe. wipe only, if you encounter "strange issues" noone else encounters. if you look closely to the filename, you will figure out, all those numbers are in fact time and date. YYYYmmDD-HHMM. Sources checkout out of cm7 repo aprox. 30-60 minutes earlier.
all mods can be found in settings->cm settings->tablet tweaks
List of modifications (green = new since last build)
Toggle status bar top/bottom via cm settings. Changes position on the fly when setting is toggled.
Moved carrier and power notifications to bottom for bottom bar
Created "Tablet tweaks" menu in cm-settings root to gather all tablet related options in one place
Extended power menu with home/menu/back buttons. toggable on the fly via cm settings
Custom volume-long-press events (home/back/menu/call/end call/search/start-stop-music/next track/prev track/longpress home)
Added same options for both-volume-buttons press and long-press
Fixed status bar xml, so soft buttons now appear as big as the .png file is.
Solved issue about soft buttons not clickable. Their size is now determined smart by the real size of the buttons
Added option to move soft-buttons left or right
Added submenu to choose which soft buttons to display.
Added Quick-Notification-Area-Soft-Button - instantly opens/closes notification area since swiping it open is a long way on tablets
Added a Dead-Zone option, so the middle of the status bar is not clickable. Happend a lot before people click it when trying to hit space
New graphics from Drakknar in extended power menu - thanks!
Added option to toggle extended power items seperatly
Added option to reverse power button behavior (switch short-press with long-press action)
Cleaned up the options and created new submenu
complelty rewrote volume button handling to handle all our new demands
integrated Drakknars great new design and wrote code for it
lotsa tiny fixes / bugfixes
Added option to disable/override fullscreen
Added option to disable lockscreen
Disabled the animated text for ongoing notifications when softbuttons enabled. this "ticker" did hide the soft buttons for a short while
Used same status bar size for nook color than for vega now. buttons should be bigger and not stretched this way. awaiting complaints about status bar too big
added hdpi icons for resized statusbar via overlay for vega and encore this way, status bar items dont look blury anymore
added search button to list of soft-buttons - its off by default
added long-press to home, back and search soft-button
extended fullscreen handling: when a fullscreen app is running, an additional
hide-softbutton is displayed. once pressed, the app gets real fullscreen
added option to choose unhide button for fullscreen
improved hide-button handling for special situation, like app-starting-app (i.e. astro file mananger starting movie player, which does fullscreen request) and more
Bugfix release #1
Bugfix release #2 (aka tt.RC1) removed volume remapping for cm7stable, because source of too many possible bugs considering all the uses of volume buttons + lockscreen disable + reverse
code cleanup - moved most stuff to Cm classes (CmSystem, CmPhoneWindowManager, CmStatusBarView, CmButtonTracker) - am satisfied with the code now
improved fullscreen overriding in Window class. not only setFlags, but also setAttributes is intercepted now
modified stock terminal emulator, so it doesnt crash the system anymore, when disable-fullscreen is selected
further improved fullscreen handling after all feedback i got. RC2 and probably merge ready code
Where is the volume remapping?
Its disabled for cm7 stable release. it will be re-enabled in cm71 nightlies. The reason is simple: its a very BIG source of possible bugs. we got volume buttons to silence phone calls, to control mp3's when screen is off, we got lockscreen disabling and we got reverse behavior of volume buttons - this is toooo much in the short time left until cm7 stable - i dont wanna be the dude who is responsible for an unstable release.
Tips
to use back long-press, go to settings->applications->development->stop-app-via-long-press
to use search long-press go to settings->cm settings->input->search-key-behavior
Nook only: If Bluetooth does not turn on, power off the nook color and turn it back on. Do not select reboot from the power menu. This is not connected to my modifications, but a often discovered cm problem on nook color. Thanks to KitF for this hint.
A better task manager? install free "task switcher" from market. on next home click, select adw as usual as standard home action. go to settings->cm settings->input->long-press home settings - select use custom application. as application, select task switcher. if you long press home now, you get a nice task switcher with recent apps instead of the build in solution.
Nook only: Have to enable wifi on each boot? http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=1310
bugs to fix
all bugs should be fixed with RC2 - details at http://kan.gd/3vb
List of known, unfriendly apps
Note: these apps break google's API in one or another way, and so are not compatible with our fullscreen handling. hopes are, they get fixed for honeycomb, and then work here, too
Clock and calendar popups: Handle fullscreen theirself - and fail!
Kindle App: Handles fullscreen itself without request - and fails!
pocket legends: does not resize when hide status bar is executed
quick office / quick office HD: overrides fullscreen handling - does it itself and fails.
cnn news app - also handles fullscreen "its own way" and fails - hides statusbar in any way
power amp - has problems with bottom status bar
Whats next?
hopefully merging this night.
Disclaimer
I am not a cook. I am a cyanogenmod dev and member of teamdouche. i dont intend to build roms, once this project is merged to cm-sources. i only do this openly for two reasons: for one, i think, feedback improves code quality. Second, its not much time until cm7stable - i need as many testers as i can get so this will get bugfree.
Credits
Thanks to Drakknar, who did all the graphics involved. Again, he did great work. I love team-working with him. We already did the new lockscreens.
Thanks to Samuel Halff <[email protected]>, who not only inspired all this, but also did a rough first version of bottom status bar. Without his initial work on the idea and on the CM-Crew (telling us, this is absolutly needed), this patch wouldnt exist.
Thanks to the Nook Color community, for mental support, feedback and the help on getting a tablet for me. Without it, i couldnt do this at all.

This project has been merged in to CM now and is part of nightly build 37.
I just flashed this over a nightly and everything seems to work except the Market won't open. It flashes up for a second and then closes automatically with no error or force close message. Anyone else experience this?

You probably have to reload gapps and start over...it happened to me when I went between this and Corwin's
Been using this about 24 hours and Gtablet really performs well with this ROM. Also just flashed my Nook Color with nightly 37 and it seems to be good too. Been using this ROM on my Nook for about 4 days and really loving it, especially the bottom notification bar with soft buttons.
Does anyone know if Pershoot's kernel could or should be used with this CM7 ROM? Would it improve performance and/or other things??

ive had great luck... havnt had a single complaint.
So all I have to do is install the rom from the gtab link... or is this in addition to something?
Also pqrs, what wifi widget is that?
How did you flash this? Did you do all the wiping data, cache, dalvik cache,,,then install like normal and then the gapps? I did that and it is a great rom but noticed my tab would shut off when it sleep for a few mins and i had to reboot??

Working so far...
I have the latest build running with Clemsyn's kernel 9 (I hate dealing with loadable kernel modules). The tablet is running real nice right now.
The only way I got this on my gTab was to nvflash back to original, blowing away CWM in the process, reload CWM, use Calkulin's format to clear away the nasty Tap'nTap stuff, then load the ROM, reboot, load the kernel (clearing cache and Davlik cache), reboot, the finally flash GAPPS to it.
I don't know enough to tell you why I had to do this. I was coming from Vegan5.1.1 originally and no GB ROM would flash properly (got stuck at Android screen - always, with AOSP Vanilla, G-Harmony 2.2, and this CM nightly) until I hit upon the sequence above.
Everything seems to be working so far... the minor bumps (like GAPPS installing everything but GMail) have cleared after reboots.
So no weird reboots or wifi problems?

i came from vegan 7 so maybe it was an easy transition? i didnt have any of the trouble flashing that as others have... i just did the normal wiping and it worked great. gingerbread roms havnt been any different for me to flash?
the wifi widget is called wifi signal widget. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cls.wificls&feature=search_result
my online market even works, i can send apps to my tablet with this rom! thats a bonus to me...
Murdock's work has been merged in and now in the CM7 nightlies
There is a minor bug with the cyanogenmod website, however. If you navigate to the standard download locations, you won't see anything available. The url has the name viewsonic instead of the device codename harmony. Click on harmony on the left side list and you'll find the gTab CM7 nightly build.
I have not been having any issues, although some people have reported that there are issues with sdcard mounting and some FCs if they change the theme. I've kept the theme stock.
My only complaint is a bug that seems to be in CM7 at the moment where when waking up from sleep you need to start the WiFi again manually. Also, I'm not sure how to get a tun.ko module for this build.
wifi doesn't work... at all. it connects, but nothing works. flashed twice after full wipes, nothing. doesn't make much sense to me... has ANYONE had this happen? i went back to vegan 5.11 and poof -- no more issues.
Is hardware acceleration for Flash enabled on this ROM?
I came over from the Nook (Encore) not so long ago and only software-based rendering was possible there, so I am wondering is thing are better on the Harmony front.
Been running this for about 5 days. Best rom for me so far. Loaded pershoots kernel and cifs module. Perfect.

At the bottom of the screen, there is a 2 tone gray and green bar. There is a small animation that appears once everything is loaded above the gray portion.
DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT, modify any apps in any way shape or form if this has not appeared. Do not force stop, uninstall, clear data, or clear cache when they are flickering. This means the package has not been fully loaded and linked. You might think you are clearing data on Angry birds when in fact it is Accounts and settings.

AOSP lovers and TW haters, there is a ← button in your keyboard.
I already mentioned about previously leaked XXKPA before, so no point mentioning those points again, instead read it,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440011
• Better than KPA, more bugs are fixed. Still a Beta, of course. Progress is good.
• Phone calls were great. In call earpiece volume was great, as well as speaker, NR was there to be manually turn on/off.
• Now maybe I am wrong but I thing the Vibration intensity for call alerts was fainter than previous release, but if you check it under settings then it was very strong. Weird. Please give feedback on this.
• Same incoming call UI, call answer/reject buttons doesn't animate.
• Phone signal, 3G/H+, WiFi, BT everything worked fine.
• There was NO problem while switching networks to different mode, GSM, Auto etc. This ain't a pros.
• FM radio does work, worked before as well.
• 480x800 walls works well, LWP is definitely smoother than before, can't say if it's same smooth as GB!
• Lock screen ICS animation is still weird.
• Market worked on first try, downloading is working too. No problem here.
• Face unlock does work. OMG, what a time wasting gimmick is this thing.
• Swype is present. But I don't know if it's only me but the default Samsung KB was in QWERTZ format instead of QWERTY.
• GPS lock is fine.
• Same email app (which is poor imo, horrible background choice and you can't change it), damn. GMail app is same as well, no Multi touch support. Now I don't like it.
• 1080P videos (I tried with FLC) were horrible to watch, lagged all the way. I am sure they haven't done anything with it since last release.
• Camera in full res and VR at 1080p works fine usually.
• Same Missed call and SMS notification icon in LS.
• Touch keys does glow up this time.
• Call log entries does show a compact mode if you tap on a particular number. This wasn't present on KPA. A big relief for me.
• Haptic feedback works.
• Now the browser, all the options are there as before, with scrolling has gone much faster and smoother now, you can now scroll a long page with one or two slides now. It should be a big plus point for me and the users who uses Stock browser all time.
I think Sammy doesn't know that there is an 'Exit' word in dictionary
• Development option is present, very normal.
• Connection with PC worked at first go.
• The elastic scrolling all over the UI is a pleasing thing to play with, Hardware acceleration is at effect, a great job done by Samsung, already, still more than two months to go to keep their word.
• Battery life seems good. Lost only 3% in an overnight duration of 9 hours. GPS was on all time. However Standby time isn't a thing to consider battery backup IMO.
• There was a feature in the stock dialer, don't know what's it called actually, with which you just need to press the number keys and it would search for the contacts going by that digits you've entered, but that feature is missing. And it's a PITA for me who has to use the dialer all time to call him or her.
For exmaple: If you need to dial John, then just pressing 5646 in dialer would show that contact, as 5646 contains the word J, O, H & N. But that feature is lacking here and should be included back in Final release.
••• My Conclusion:
I am keeping it for a while and this definitely is a DAILY USE ROM.
Nuff said.
I'll add some more points and a short video with LP2 later. In the mean time screenshots added.
PS- A video is coming later, already uploaded but deleted from YouTube due to long length !

PS- Please come and share your feedbacks with this please, I like to be a noob and definitely missed points.

I am uploading a video just to show the whole system wide experience, it's a bit long as I've no intention to show any specific problems or features, just a normal video to check how would you feel with TW+ICS. I should upload another video showing only the problems/bugs, as the added features are already been mentioned. Lets see when I get free time for that.
You guys using this firmware please come and post your feedback here, any problems or bugs or any cool thing you've noticed etc.
Thanks in advance.
there is a call answer-reject animation
once you hold your finger on answer it turns into a larger circle just like on the lockscreen. moving your finger out of that circle answers the call.
I installed LP2 sometime back and it did work fine till I enabled face unlock.
I was able to unlock couple of times and after that Face unlock wouldn't work and worse, the pattern code also didn't. Looked like the entire service crashed.
Back to stock but apart from that, stable release.
Hey guys...I haven't seen a thread started for this yet and since I've been toying around with my M8 all day I figured I'd share 2 bugs I seem to have found and if you guys have found any feel free to contribute. Any edits I make will be for resolutions and updates to the bugs found. So far what I've found:
- I seem to have difficulty deleting files off of the external SD card. I have my pictures saving by default to it and I noticed if I delete one it disappears then pops back up. This happens through ES File Explorer.
--Issue lies with Kit Kat version not the phone itself
- When I manually set my brightness and then open up the camera it auto increases the brightness (which I don't think is a bug) the bug however, when you exit the camera app the brightness remains the same and doesn't revert back to your manual setting.
--If you exit the camera and then shut the screen, when you turn the screen on again you have your manually set brightness back.
- the buttons like to reappear over the top in immersive mode, they appear on the side if rotation is disabled
- the task switcher has options at the top, task manager and close all that get covered by the notification bar at the top
- blinkfeed looks odd with the 4 menu buttons still appearing
- Possible static on other end when using speakerphone
- Cannot take pictures of front and back of a check with the Bank of America app check deposit feature
- Snapchat filters will cause the screen to flicker.
- When authorising Sense's access to Facebook the Facebook app will take you to your newsfeed, meaning you cant authroise until you get to the homescreen. It's somewhat confusing, if you already have a HTC phone you won't see this issue.
Let me know if you find anything else on the Verizon model please as this is the one I will be getting in a few weeks. If others comment please specify which carrier model to maybe help. Thanks

It *is* possible to modify the contents of the internal and removable sdcard when connected to the PC. As discussed in several threads elsewhere, KitKat 4.4.2 has modified the manner in which apps are permitted to write to the sdcard. I'm wracking my brains because of a number of issues I'e encountered (and I have a 128g card!)
Also in the bug list:
Can't get Amazon Appstore to download apps (download always fails).
- the buttons like to reappear over the top in immersive mode, they appear on the side if rotation is disabled
- the task switcher has options at the top, task manager and close all that get covered by the notification bar at the top
- blinkfeed looks odd with the 4 menu buttons still appearing

A restart of the phone fixes this.
I had the same issue. I believe its due to the spotify video which starts on the firs time launch of the app.
Guys, I have updated the OP as of the latest bugs found by Electronic Punk. When posting bugs we find please specify which version you have international, Verizon, etc. When we find a resolution to the bug I will post underneath the bug in the OP in bold red.
1.54.401.5 although now running that same version on Android Revolution HD 2.2
want to clarify the last one as it looks the same on sense 5.5 but the blinkfeed did not continue underneath the buttons (ie phone, camera - that row)
In Sense6 it does and looks bad.
In addition, on ~Blinkfeed if you swipe left
the options menu covers about 2/3rd of the screen and stops about half way over the task switcher, looks really odd.

I have One from Sprint and I'm experiencing the same issues. It says connected but nothing is transmitted to the tv.
---------- Post added at 04:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------
I'm also having and issues with the setting to press and hold home for menu. Nothing happens when I press and hold it. It just takes me back to the home screen.
This setting is under Display, buttons and gestures.

From what I've been finding online, the Pulse colour suffers from finger print issues more than the Eclipse Black. All I've been able to establish is it has something to do with the different RAM and Storage the Pulse model has, which results in something not working in software. I guess they developed the software on the Eclipse Black (why all of the demo units sent to reviewers before release were Eclipse Black), and then they just slapped it on the Pulse model at launch, and hoped for the best.
Now when you change the DPI (as everyone knows they disabled this option from factory). 449dp seems to be the sweet spot for this phone, it's as small as you can make it without causing major issues. In my testing, 480dp causes the app drawer to not open every single time, and the app drawer labels are cut off at the bottom. Using 500dp, the app drawer won't open at all, so 449dp is the sweet spot for this phone.
Only issue I've found with 449dp is the dock, it shows 5 icons by default. On first start up after a reboot, the icons are evenly spaced across the entire bottom of the screen.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When you open any app (even opening the app drawer or pull down the notifications) and go back to the home screen, the 5 icons are suddenly condensed in the middle closer together. They all still work fine, it just adjusts their placement for whatever reason, but they all continue to work fine in their location until you reboot and they'll organize correctly again until anything is opened and it resets back to being condensed towards the middle.
Changing the DPI:
You need to open Settings > About Phone > tap on the Build number, 7 times, this activates Developer options. It will automatically open this for you. (you can access this after by going to Settings > More system settings > Developer options).
In Developer options, scroll down to the Drawing category, and you'll find Smallest width at the bottom of that group, tap it, and change it to 449
You have now successfully change the DPI to 449, congrats!
Fixing the Finger Print Reader:
Now I included changing the DPI above because my settings do not apply to the stock 360dp, it's the same process, but the values will be different for 360dp. Which is why I recommend changing the DPI to 449 for best possible results before using this fix.
You need to download Activity Launcher
When you open Activity Launcher, search and open In-Display Fingerprint and tap on com.goodix.fingerprint.setting.MainActivity
On the screen that opens, tap on Locate sensor and change the values as follows
X = 390
Y = 1900
Width = 300
Height = 300
Lock Aspect Ratio = On
Gradient = Off
W:H 13 & 16
Just reboot your phone, and enjoy a working finger print reader! Great Job!
This fix is for the Pulse colour Red Magic 5G as the Eclipse Black model does not suffer from the same issues, but your results may vary.
Trouble Shooting:
If you are having further issues, BACK UP YOUR DATA and then try doing a factory reset using the Update Software Method
Go to Settings > System Update > tap the three dots in the top right corner > Enter Recovery mode
The phone will reboot into recovery, and from there, you need to use the volume keys and power button to navigate.
Volume Up = Up
Volume Down = Down
Power = Select
English > Wipe Data > Wipe Userdata Partition
Once that's completed
Wipe Cache Partition > Back to Main Menu > Reboot
After you set the phone back up, you're good to go and try this again, doing this fixed TONS of issues I was having with the phone.
When I first got my phone, the finger print reader wasn't great, occasionally it wouldn't work all 5 tries, requiring me to input the pattern unlock I had set. After doing a factory reset by going to Settings > More system settings > Reset options > Erase Phone, the finger print reader wouldn't work at all, and the more factory resets I did trying to recovery the phone back to it's out of box state using that method, only made it worse until the phone was actually unusable and constantly crashing, causing it to force reboot itself just trying to do simple tasks like texting or opening a game.
After doing a factory reset using the System Update Method, I haven't experienced any further issues like this, and have repeated the reset multiple times during testing without any issues. So if your finger print reader is already having a mind of it's own, try doing a system reset using that method first, and then try my fix, because after doing what I mentioned above, it works every single time.
May the odds be ever in your favour.
This is for the locked bootloader right , not unlocked. Cons when you unlock the fingerprint doesn't work.

Yes, this is for the factory locked bootloader, I was doing some reading about the finger print issue, and there actually is a way to root and lock the bootloader, keeping the finger print reader working. It has something to do with unlocking the bootloader on global, making a backup of your firmware, flashing the china firmware, that locks your bootloader again, and then restore your rooted backup, and you keep root with the locked bootloader or something. There's no guide yet, but there's a few posts around that I've found that said this is possible, but the process is extremely picky, it's like an exact process of flashing, wipe, wipe, flash, wipe, etc. It's just a glitch that someone found in the Telegram except the links to the Telegrams got taken down for some reason so I can't join it to learn more about this.
However, with that being said, I would just recommend not updating the phone when Nubia does release fix for all of the current bugs, just keep moving through them, and staying on the launch firmware until a guide on that root with locked boot loader is made, because that seems to be the best possible solution for this phone as of right now.
Another option is one person was able to get Havoc OS working on it, and even though the finger print reader, rgb, fan, and 144hz don't work, that ROM has face unlock, less secure than a finger print reader, but faster, so it is an alternative to making this into more of an actual "phone" and less of a "console".

Yes, this is for the factory locked bootloader, I was doing some reading about the finger print issue, and there actually is a way to root and lock the bootloader, keeping the finger print reader working. It has something to do with unlocking the bootloader on global, making a backup of your firmware, flashing the china firmware, that locks your bootloader again, and then restore your rooted backup, and you keep root with the locked bootloader or something.
