1. For me its working But Gcam is not tested
2. Yes, you need enabled to phh settings
3. Better than stock

Flashed it today, some small issues:

-Fingerprint reader doesn't work, even with Phh fix broken FP reader option on
-Can't disable stereo speaker mode
-Auto brightness is kinda bad
-Can't disable SIM 2
-Couldn't find a decent Gcam yet, stock camera app is terrible

Other than that it's really pleasant to use, way faster than the stock Samsung firmware and battery life seems better too. You have to enable "Enable extended brightness range" in Phh settings to get max brightness by the way.

You need to change the fingerprint color to white to make it work. And just add two fingerprints for the same finger.

1. Hotspot doesn't work. You will have to use USB tethering.
2. VOLTE doesn't work.
3. Cameras work by default in PixelExperience & Descendent GSI
4. For fingerprint - You need to change the fingerprint color to white to make it work. And just add two fingerprints for the same finger.

FYI - This isn't a custom ROM, this is a GSI

Will the hotspot problem ever be fixed? I really want to try this GSI but only thing that's holding me back is the hotspot not working.

 

[mori321]

Do you plan on fixing some of the issues with the hotspot and VoLTE? I'd love to use this GSI as a daily driver but these are big issues for me especially because of VoLTE mainly, 3G calls are way too muffled for me.

VoLTE won't work on AOSP ROMs, only Samsung ROMs

 

[mori321]

Ah alright, thanks for letting me know though

Has anyone had issues with Bluetooth? When I try to connect to a bluetooth device it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. Also, where is the option to change the fingerprint color?

While the phone is powered off, hold volume up and power buttons to boot into download mode. Using oding flash the provided modded recovery by putting the recovery zip file in the AP slot in odin. After flashing reboot the phone to recovery holding volume down and power buttons. Then select fastboot mode with volume and power keys, then using command line on your PC paste the commands to flash the images.

Can you help me please, i unlocked bootloader, then flashed magisk, patched the boot.img, rooted, and installed your recovery.
but when "adb device" my device is "Unauthorized" (yep debug usb is ON), and if i enter fastboot and "fastboot flash system system.img" it just -waiting for any device- and nothing happens
