V3.0 Release Notes :-

Hi once again, Hope you enjoy this release. while its a smaller update compared to V2. this focuses more on stability and fixing some annoying issues from V2.
OneUI 2.1 Gives us great fixes regarding memory leaks and performance degradation. and I've improved and re-did all the fixes I've developed for this port to be much simpler and easier to update in the future. instead of relying purely on Hacks.

There are still some bugs that i am starting to feel like we will never fix, but then again this is only the 3rd release. so we will see
how it goes in the future.

The F.A.Q as always has been updated with new notes and workarounds.

With that said, Enjoy the release. hope you like it. and as always, if you appreciate what i do, leave a thanks, constructive feedback and consider a donation


V2.0 Release Notes :-

Hello again, Ive taken my time With this release and spent significantly more time trying to improve the experience as much as possible.
There are still some bugs remaining, the biggest being the overnight crash (which thankfully we have a workaround for those who face it often)
Besides that i belive most of the remaining issues are either minor or can be lived with for now.

This release focuses on stability first, the previous base was a hacked up version of FEB and MAR with quite basic fixes. everything has been redone and hopefully for the better

Thanks you for your great reports that helped improve this ROM alot. and thanks to the testers who spent hours testing and evaluating this ROM. Please be sure to read the F.A.Q and notes to avoid issues

P.S : This version has very experimental Note 7 FE support. Let me know if it works or not, if it does, Iris probably wont work.


Initial Release Notes :-

After a battle that took months on end, im able to deliver you this project in a state were i can deem it as "Daily Driver", This was no easy task, Android Q has changed alot
And a skin such as oneui 2.0 was never intended to run on this device, But here we are. another middle finger to planned obsolescence.

Aside from project Treble, this officially is My first major project on this platform. and i hope you like it.
As the nature of "Initial releases" tend to be, expect Bugs, i wrote down the ones i can see and that are actual issues that can affect people. so make sure to read them.
And The F.A.Q and Notes page is more important than this entire post. it details stuff that you might need to do in order to avoid issues and not to look stupid reporting issues that otherwise wont happen.

Finally, This rom is only possible due to a TON of contributions from my friends @corsicanu , without him you probably wouldn't have seen this ROM.
I have also included the majority of improvements , Aroma and edits from his Amazing "HadesRom" Series which im sure you guys are familiar with already.

A Lot of great people helped me make this project, especially testers who has been digging through this ROM for over a month. make sure to check them out in the credits section.

Alright enough chit-chat. Enjoy the ROM. and do let me know in the thread how it is going on your end.


Before you post : READ everything, And especially the install steps and F.A.Q, the rom has been tested thoroughly for a long time, so if you have an critical issue like not booting or something major, you missed the instructions, posts that are irrelevant to this project will be ignored(Constructive criticism is welcomed). If you do face a new bug however, dont just say "hey bug here fix nao" provide more information, and a LOGCAT, bug reports without logcats will most likely be ignored.

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

NOTES :

- After installation, leave your phone to build and optimize caches. which can take upto 15 minutes on clean flash. your phone will be HOT at this stage. If DirtyFlashing, it can take upto 30mins

OneUI 2.5 Related Issues :
- These are issues that are caused by OneUI 2.5 , that i have no power over to fix. these might change between updates if/when a hack is found

1) Google Chrome sutter/freeze : github
- This is a bug in recent OneUI 2.1 patches that affects webview leading to some apps freezing (Chrome and Brave browser mainly). the github
- Going to "chrome://flags/#ignore-gpu-blacklist" and enabling renderer override helps some users

2) AllowedDevices list in hotspot : Github

3) goodlock SountAssistant might limit audio : Github

F.A.Q :

Q : Heavy battery usage / Drain
A : A recommendation i mentioned in my group (aside from boring calibration) is to charge your phone while its powered off multiple times.
I.e whenever possible, charge your phone to 100 when its turned off.
on oneui 2+ for some reason the battery charges from ~90 to 95% only, like there is a gap, which sometimes go as far as to 85% (system says 100% but if you charge offline it will be less than 100%)
i started doing that recently and SOT on my S7 went from barley hitting 3 to hitting over 4 hours sometimes (with light usage tho)
more info on the bug here https://github.com/ananjaser1211/FloydQ_Reports/issues/196 , i have not found a way to fix it yet

Q : Games are Laggy/Pix-elated/Stutter/sucks/crashes
A : Open GameLauncher > Top Left menu > Game Performance > Set Game performance to "Focus on PowerSaving" : Video

Q : Black Wallpaper after installing/cleared previous wallpaper setting
A : This is related to picking S9+ Wallpaper pack, it will reset to no wallpaper on dirty flashes

Q : Which Vanced version to use ? (root,nonroot)
A : i recommend using the NON-ROOT option and installing microG from vanced manager to avoid complicated setups

Q : phone crashes overnight (Green LED only)
A : There is no 100% method that works out of the box for "Everyone" However using the device for a day or two usually eliminates the issue fully. other workarounds include limiting charging capacity to 99% as shown below
- To recover from this crash, long press volume down and power for 10 seconds until the phone reboots
- This issue mostly happens on fresh clean installs, and goes away after few days of usage
- Having AOD or ScreenSaver might reduce the issue (in my case it did)
- Best suggestion is to either Not charge overnight for the first few days of the installation, or charge the phone while its powered off
- limiting charging capacity to 99% seems to be the best option if you want a fix right away, you can do that by using MagiskModule ACC (adaptive charging controller) module + Its config app

Q : Phone is not charging / Discharging while charging
A : Check your battery temperature, OneUI 2 wont charge when your battery is above 42C. there is no bypass to this yet

Q : Phone Speaker is Muted, Cant hear anything.

- Use HKtweaks > sound > Enable/Disable Morosound / EQ which resets audio and fixes the issue
- Some users dont have this issue when keeping morosoud/EQ enabled all the time

Q : CIDManager asks to Reset the phone (Simcard has been changed popup)

- Mount System
- open twrp file manager
- Go to /system/system/priv-app/CIDManager
- Delete the APK

Q : GCAM Support?

Addons, Fixes and other msic stuff will be posted here when needed

V5.0 Patches

1) USSD Codes support (#0#) and QHD 60FPS Video recording + Removed 5 Minute recording limit in Samsung Camera

For S7/S7E/N7/N7FE

Download : Github

Thanks @Cvolton for the Camera MODs

2) Emoji Packs
These are updated Emoji packages suitable for OneUI 2.5 . this will resolve the black boxes error seen in the keyboard when picking an emoji pack in aroma. Thanks to @FiestaLake for updating the emoji files and packing them up. download and flash the zip of the emoji pack you want

Thanks @FiestaLake

Download : Github

3) 3rd Party call volume

This patch is similar to the one from V4 minus some stuff, i am not sure why it is still required as 3rd party volume was resolved. but some people still face volume changing issues.
This will fix the volume slider in whatsapp and so on. simply flash it in twrp

Download : Github

Quick Guides and Notes
These are the Notes in our Telegram Group, i will update it them when required

How to DirtyFlash properly / Update from a version to another


Note : Do this ONLY if i did not mention to CLEAN FLASH

1) Take a TWRP backup for all your partitions (just to be safe)
2) Wipe SYSTEM , Cache and Dalvik-cache
3) Flash the ROM.zip
4) In Aroma, select "No Wipe"
5) Select your features

Once the ROM finishes flashing, let it boot and leave the phone for ~30Mins to boot up and rebuild caches and "Upgrade"

You will notice that it will say Updating after it boots if you came from V2>V3 or V3>V4 And so on, Just leave it optimize

Warning : Your phone WILL get hot while dirty flashing and doing the Boot / optimization. so leave it rest


How to Restore EFS from a ROM Generated Backup

This only concerns Floyd and BlackDiamond ROM users. As while installing the ROM, it will automatically Create a binary Backup of your EFS Partition

Note : The EFS.img backup gets replaced everytime you flash the ROM, so be sure NOT to flash the ROM when your EFS is broken, as it will delete your old save

EFS backups are located at internal memory / EFSBackup/efs.img

How to Restore EFS Image Backups

Method 1 Using a PC (Recommended)

1) Download loggingKit on your computer

2) Extract it to a folder and press shift + right click mouse button > open powershell window here

3) Connect your phone while its in TWRP

4) in your power shell window type these commands

./adb shell

dd if=/data/media/0/EFSBackup/efs.img of=/dev/block/platform/155a0000.ufs/by-name/EFS


5) Your EFS Should be restored to the state it was in before you flashed the ROM

Method 2 Using TWRP

1) Go to TWRP > Advanced > Terminal
2) Type the following command
dd if=/data/media/0/EFSBackup/efs.img of=/dev/block/platform/155a0000.ufs/by-name/EFS


How to setup F2FS for Userdata


1) Download an F2FS Ready TWRP (MoroTwrp , or My TWRP / Note7 TWRP Here)
2) Flash the TWRP.img or .ZIP within TWRP, if you are flashing moro, just flash it as a normal ZIP, if you are flashing my image, got to flash > press flash IMG > select my recovery.img > select Recovery Partition
3) Reboot back into TWRP after flashing the new TWRP (very important)
4) Wipe > advanced wipe > Data > CHANGE > F2FS (Your entire internal storage will be wiped out! this includes ALL data on the device, take a backup)
5) Reboot and you will have DATA as F2FS
4) Repeat the same step for CACHE

Warning : DO NOT format system to F2FS, as booting from it is not supported


V4.0 Patches (Not needed on V5)

V4.0 Patches (Updated Aug 31 , 2020)

1) Volume changing in 3rd party calls (Such as whatsApp , Imo) When reducing Volume it remains loud. This patch fixes that issue and might help to reduce or eliminate the Audio Muting bug (Still needs long term testing)

For S7/S7E/N7/N7FE

Download : Github

Thanks @brkbsrn and @merdan85 for testing

2) Optimizing Apps screen showing every time you reboot the device on the note7. this fixes that issue, after installing it should no longer show optimizing every boot, if it still does that, wipe dalvik-cache and cache and let it rebuild them one last time. it will stop showing optimizing

For Note7 and Note7FE only, not required on S7/S7E

Download : Github

3) Enable AR Stickers. I made a mistake in the installation script that does not let AR Stickers show up in camera. Flash this patch only if you selected AR stickers

For S7/S7E/N7/N7FE

UPDATE SEPT 1 : ARStickerPack patch has been updated, to include the APKs since some forget to pick it up in aroma.
also might have fixed a logic issue that caused install issues on some twrps


Download : Github

4) 1120 Fonts Pack When installing BOTH google fonts and samsung 1120 font pack, both stop showing up.
this is due to both font packs being based on the same package name


For S7/S7E/N7/N7FE

Download : Github

5) 5G Wireless hotspot
This patch will enable 5G Hotspot again, regardless of what country your CSC is using. Samsung locked this for some reason in the most recent ODM update. i don't know if its a mistake on their part or what. Regardless, the bypass is enough to get it back and running

P.S : This will hide IRIS from the note 7 devices, it does not work anyway so its not a big deal for now.

For S7/S7E/N7/N7FE

Thanks isbon007 for finding the BUG, and testing the fix

Download : Github


V2.0 Patches (Not needed on V3/V4)


1) CronosKernel V4.5 [Critical] : Release Page

NOTES :

-Updating GameTools/GameOptimizer From galaxy apps will break them.
-On first setup, let the phone update everything before using it

Q : What to do after the rom is setup ?
A : Go to samsung apps, let the phone update everything
I'm confused. Should I update the gaming apps or not?
