Today I started my Project "Fresh Install Floyd 5.0" on my S7e. I hoped to get Google Pay to run without Problems. I wanted to flash without any Root!
The last years I tried out every Custom Firmware here on XDA and I tested all Versions of Floyd Q (BTW: v2.0 was my All-Time-Fovourite!)
I started with an TWRP(AJ)-Backup of my very laggi running dirty installed v5.0 on the external Card.
Then I wiped and formated all the Partitions, to get maximum fresh Install. After installing v5.0 my Phone was caught in a Bootloop.
Any Ideas what I did wrong?
Now, I will restore the Backup. Hope that works...
Edit: The Restore works without Problems. Second Try. This time I only formated the Partitions without wipe. Same Procedure. The Installation Ends in a S7edge-Bootloop.
I am wondering, why the v5.0-Install ends at ~50 Percent (?)
Verify MD5 hash of the downloaded zip, especially if it was from AFH which breaks the zip sometimes (installs fine but rom might not boot) and make sure you did not select too much bloat that system got filled

regarding december update, it might come at the end of the month, i dont know really, i am very busy with my final uni exams, my android work is on hold until i have time to breath. and to be honest i still dont have any substantial fixes done to the ROM, Audio is still problematic.
i have to agree with the lag claims, my phone is fully setup and i visit it every now and then, and yes for some reason V5 does indeed feel slower compared to V3 or V4.
i am not sure what is the culprit really, i suspect it is the N9 base. but thats a major thing to roll back so for now i dont know how to approach this, i might try and tune the kernel a bit more since people said flashing moro kernel helped things. maybe it is a kernel bug i dont know.
another thing i noticed recently on the S7 and the note 8, enabling magisk hide ruins performance for me. but idk if this is ROM or magisk related.
