SUPER WITH GAPPS (not kosher) (99% chance it has SPYWARE)
huge thanks to @ars18 (yes he was right that the issue was in product and neither of us know why??)
how i did it:
- flash gapps using the twrp i posted earlier
- add these lines to build.prop in product at the end
ro.build.characteristics=default
ro.com.google.acsa=true
setupwizard.feature.deferred_setup_low_ram_filter=true
ro.setupwizard.rotation_locked=true
setupwizard.theme=glif_v3_light
setupwizard.feature.checkin_timeout_enabled=false
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
ro.com.google.gmsversion=11_202501
persist.device_config.runtime_native.usap_pool_enabled=false
Build.BRAND=MTK
ro.product.vndk.version=30
if people could confirm it is working and help with removing/finding spyware that would be greatly appreciated
