Amazing feat!
Easily managed to get these beasts up to Hanle, Ladakh to the Indian Astronomical Observatory. Starting from Thiskey IOCL charger with 100%, returned to Leh without need of extra charge -- with 28% SoC remaining! 💪🚀 #MahindraXEV9e #Ladakh #Hanle @anandmahindra @mahindraesuvs

That’s so sweet 🥹
After 6 months of toiling, v055b is up on GitHub and our website. This release is dedicated to our friend and @CalyxOS lead, @_cdesai Really hope v055b has less bugs than v055a and is generally more stable, lest an unimpressed Chirayu disavow us 🥶

AOSP has excellent documentation at source.android.com/ - it'd be good to have some more info there on Project Mainline modules as well.
Although Google publishes the source code for each Project Mainline module, that doesn't mean you can always cleanly build them from AOSP. Case in point: when @_cdesai was building the new Mainline modules, he ran into this error when the MediaProvider module was being built...

This gem from an internal chat discussing an upcoming feature, which introduces a big behavior change and modifies existing code quite a bit.
I've left open source projects after getting tired of arguing with maintainers. There really is a fine line between just letting anything through vs not making it this hard to get a change merged.
This Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more

Thanks so much for posting about this. I saw something similar in an AOSP merge recently, and this most likely explains it.
Linus on #LKML explained why commands like "git log foo/bar/baz.c" sometimes omit commits: lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wj… In short: they use a _simplified_ history, in the actual case caused by a mis-merge of Linus he now fixed with git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/1a…

The past week since getting the Pixel 7 Pro has basically been this: - receive notification with vibration - long press, go to the notification settings, disable vibration for it - examine other notification channels for the same app, disable vibration - repeat for other apps 😩
