Read this F.A.Q While the rom is Downloading.

Q: Not passing SafteyNet.

A : Not sure what went wrong, you could flash SafteyNet Magisk module to fix it.

Q: How to use face unlock ?
A : Unfortunately face unlock feature is removed officially by Google.

Q: Can I dirty flash over Version Z.X.Y ??
A : You can give it a shot but I'm not responsible for any errors.

Q: How to use Samsung-Pay ?
A : If you are here you should know already, Once you trip Knox, You cant, Forever.

Q: Why Phone volume is too high ?
A : Maybe because you choose dual speaker mod in aroma, Re-flash ROM and don't tick dual speaker option.

Q: How to Get VoLte/Wifi calling ?
A : Make sure you ticked correct OMC option in Aroma.
