As part of the process for adding new officially supported devices, we expect to include your relevant trees in this organization as well. Your device tree has some concerns that should be adressed.

1. Commit history and quality I would advise making a dedicated branch with the needed commits for RisingOS only. In the given branch of your device tree, i have seen that this tree was migrated from an Evolution X one, at the same time you already have quite a few dedicated branches for other ROMs. I also see EPPE (ensure product packages exists) disabled, which is not recommended since this would simply skip non existent packages during a build, no matter if you really do require them or not.

• Additionally properties such as BUILD_FINGERPRINT have been moved to soong for Android 15, update this to be in PRODUCT_BUILD_PROP_OVERRIDES

2. Data encryption disabled This form of data security is default and has been enforced for android devices for quite some time now. User apps may check for a device is encrypted and deny usage of them as well. Only custom recoveries such as TWRP (and forks like OrangeFox) may opt to mount data where FBEv2 should be already be supported anyway. Even if you do not have a custom recovery with encryption support, this doesn't prevent you from installing builds.

Thank you for your advices.

• Disable EPPE was a leftover and is now reverted.
• Data encryption was disabled only for testing purposes and now is enabled and working.
• The build props also adapted to Android V
• Also I created a separate branch for RicingOS with a (partially) clean history and all needed commits. The trees, and the device tree in special is a work of 3 people working together on cepheus. Chematelegram for evox, Raysteff for CRdroid and I for bootleggers. So we use each others tree and work, as we mostly work together on the trees. That's why we have evox in latest history. When go back in the past of commits, you will see the evox tree based on my early spark tree. And so on and so on. Hope this clears out a bit.

If any other changes are wanted, just let me know, so I will do my best to get it done.

Here the actual device tree with its own branch:
