Yes! Crush 'em ads right from the core!

No! Some websites require ad blocking to be disabled! This would break usability!

Should I modify the ROM hosts file to block ads?
Just for your information: This won't be an actual implementation. I just wonder what the majority thinks.
Announcing Project CiRCLE 1.0.1!
The rough edges in 1.0 were a bit too rough, so we're releasing a patch release before AOSP uploads the source code for the July patch to fix them up!
Expect the rollout to begin by tomorrow!

I said this, and I'm saying this again
Do NOT use ALPHA, BETA and OFFICIAL tags! Use EXPERIMENTAL and UNOFFICIAL ONLY!

I felt like reiterating it because I got the news that a peridot maintainer used BETA tag in their build, despite not being an official maintainer.
I did an oopsie in my scripting and the m34x/GAPPS folder in our SourceForge is all messed up. I'm cleaning it up, but I can't guarantee a speedy recovery due to how slow FileZilla is.
Bluejay release will be delayed by a few days (considering the day of release I was planning) due to personal problems. This problem involves legal paperwork due to which I won't have the time to sit in front of my laptop and compile.
I won't say what the problem is here, but feel free to ask in chat if you're curious.

I merged Lineage's July 2026 changes and bumped the version to 1.0.2 but I'm working on another feature after which official rollout will begin.

Mhm, CiRCLE is here to stay for as long as possible by any means necessary :3
Announcing Project CiRCLE 1.1.0!
Starting now, maintainers will work on rolling out the new update with some little tweaks here and there.
This version includes the following new stuff:
- Keep battery saver on while charging. Some OEMs (E.g. Samsung with One UI, Xiaomi with MIUI and HyperOS, Huawei with EMUI and HarmonyOS) have this feature where battery saver would stay on while the device is charging. We now implemented that feature with our own bare hands!
- Dual channel support for SBC HD! Credits go to @Flopster101 for the patchset!
With the following fixups:
- Switch to UN1CA's PIF JSON as the default PIF JSON provider since halcyon's JSON isn't updated often.
Alongside the following merges:
- July 2026 Android Security Bulletin (its just a string change bro)
- LineageOS fixups
Good luck with building! Every update is meant to improve our ROM and how it behaves!

We believe in quality over quantity. We don't aim to have a gazillion features, but have some just enough to make the ROM daily drivable by everyone, whether you're blind (conditional charging sounds), you have OCD (conditional boot animation), or you're constantly travelling (battery saver on charge).
We aim to be unique, not another ROM with 95139524963915193 cherry-picked features. We also contribute to some ROMs with what we develop, so if you see the features we develop elsewhere, just know that it's most probably us that suggested that feature be added to that ROM.

Should we introduce a "Platform developers" entry in About device?

Yes, that'd be good for attribution and make it harder for people to rename your ROM directly.
8%
No, it's better for it to stay community-focused.

I need to see an example before deciding on such a thing.
No time limit because there's a long way to go before I do such a thing
