I gladly make myself available as an alpha tester.
Is there already a Halium 9 based build to test?

I can make calls via the cell, but not wifi calls, am I missing something or is this not an option?

Also, I am considering to look into using that also for hammerhead and angler, since both received LOS 16 back then. And there are much easier integrations it seems, especially for camera and bluetooth. So it might be worth thinking to skip 7.1 after all πŸ™‚

Will it be finally released in a future OTA? Is there any way to help you?
Thank you very much for your feedback!

Or would an 18.04 system build fine? Will you also include a guide on how to build your latest code from source?
