+This is the initial A16 release with August 2025 security patches
+
+==============================
+
+Device changes:
+
+- Initial Android 16 release with new device tree, clean flash
+  is needed. Please do not use third-party recovery images as
+  they are no longer supported and may render your device 
+  unbootable.
+- Fixed IR blaster
+- Enabled AOD wallpaper by default
+- Dolby works, MiuiCamera also works (except Portrait mode)
+- userdebug build
+- Kernel already has KernelSU-Next support with susfs, but is
+  disabled by default to comply with Evolution X rules. Check 
+  XDA thread or Discord for more information about obtaining root.
+- Switched to EROFS as Google apps are getting bigger in size
+  and we need to compress them as much as possible.
+
+==============================
+
+Known bugs:
+
+Enabling AOD will default to high brightness, which causes
+quicker battery drain. To fix this, do the following steps:
+
+- Enable ADB: Go to Settings > About phone > Tap 7 times on 
+  Build number > go back, then go to System > Developer options
+  > enable USB debugging (ADB) and Rooted debugging
+
+- Connect your device to your computer, authorize your device
+  then type the following commands:
+
+  adb root
+  adb shell "echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/soc/soc\:qcom,dsi-display-primary/doze_mode"
+
+You will need to do this only once per boot.
+
+Notable ROM changes:
+
+==============================
+
+Add Android 16 WIFI icon
+Make su domain permissive on user builds
+Settings: Follow navbar color in base
+Settings: Introduce Adaptive Playback
+SystemUI: Blur the power menu
+SystemUI: biometrics: Add missing calls to parent onFinishInflate
+Update BCR to Version 1.79
+release: Bump Security String to 2025-08-01
+sepolicy: address media_quality_service selinux denial
+vars: August 2025 Security Update
