V7.0 Release Notes :-
Its only fitting to release V7 in July isn't it. The ROM is 2 years old and still has an active following which blows my mind. id like to say thanks to all the users for your support all this time, and especially a big thanks to the testing team who stuck by me for this long.

Between my university, life and other projects, i haven't had consistent time to work on the ROM, i have updated it to the latest note 9 release (which is the last one by samsung) with May 2022 Security patch. Ive done some work on the kernel and base to remove some of the issues caused in V6, added a bunch of new fixes we gathered over time and from the note 8 Q project. and just overall tidy up the ROM, there is still some work left to do, but i dont want to delay V7 any further, if/when we do another version, it will contain more experimental fixes that didn't make it here.

I have done some changes to audio, which may be better or worse on the long run, hopefully to the better, the rom only had couple months of testing with a very small test group, so i wouldn't say its bullet proof. RAM, Camera Audio and overall stability has been worked on, and hopefully this reflects in real usage. ive only used the S7 to play a couple games and use some social media, as it is not my daily driver.

So far the black screen / alarm issue has not been commonly reported, neither did audio muting, however i cant rule out that it was fully fixed until it is tested by much more people. incase you still face these issues, open new reports on github

Overall i hope this new version works better for everyone, we reached the peak of what we can fix back in V6 and that was quite underwhelming, so hopefully with this new release Exynos8890 gets a new lease on life, atleast when it comes to OneUI

And no, i do not think we will ever see a OneUI 3 public release, it is simply too buggy to even look at.

Thanks everyone for your continuous support throughout the years.

V6.0 Release Notes :-

Its been 5 months since the last release, i expected the popularity of this rom to go down and vanish. however, 30 thousand downloads later, i think it is time to push another update. perhaps the last Q update. i dont know what more i can improve in this rom.

This release comes with a ton of significant fixes in every direction, be sure to read the changelog as it covers everything. all the way from stability, to muting to performance was adjusted.

EIS (Video stabilization) has also been enabled and fixed in this release

as mentioned, i am not sure what more can be done to make Q better, right now we are down to basically near impossible to fix errors. the overall experience is great with the stock kernel. and basically future versions might not carry big changelists anymore, and only basic rebases. however ive proven my self wrong many times before so lets wait and see

Make sure to check the F.A.Q if you still face muting. so far its frequency dropped significantly where i think it is as good as it gets

P.S : Majority of the fixes are kernel sided, Do not change kernels until they are updated with new fixes

V5.0 Release Notes :-

Alright, Finally. This release was a bit rough due to the immense changes in 2.5 and how late firmware took to be released.
I hope you enjoy this release, A LOT has been changed, and alot of bugs has been resolved both directly and indirectly
Some bugs like Audio muting and overnight crash never occured under testing, so they might be resolved too, however i will not rule that unless public reviews come in.

Id like to give a big shoutout to the testers group who has been at work for over 3 weeks hard testing this release

Another thing to mention is, i had to remove DeX Wireless mode for being too unstable. so sadly you guys wont get it in this release.
i don't know if its fixable, but that's a problem for another day

The F.A.Q as always has been updated to reflect new changes, so give it a read please. Regarding the remaining bugs, better workarounds now exist so check them out

Warning : Dirty flash is not recommended, some testers faced issues. do it under your own risk, and avoid reporting issues if you dirty flashed please!

V4.0 Release Notes :-

Hey everyone, we meet again. This release again focuses on stability and misc improvements, has some additional features such as secure folder
but the main focus was fixing our existing bugs. Based on ~3 weeks worth of testing, there are great improvements to almost every part of the ROM

The F.A.Q as always has been updated to reflect new changes, so give it a read please. Regarding the remaining bugs, better workarounds now exist so check them out

While i wanted to release this on my schedule (20 of each month) i had to delay it due to health issues with my father. so thanks for understanding and I'm happy to say that he is on his way to recovery, it was scary times for sure. but taught us a lot.

chatter aside, i hope you enjoy the ROM, and let me know how it goes, Development on V5 starts early next month, and this time hopefully I'm focusing on More features possibly a OneUI 2.5 port if it came in time. will see how it goes

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.

Floyd v1.0 - 04.20.2020
- Initial Release[/HIDE]

 

[ananjaser1211]

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

- Clean flash is always recommended to avoid issues especially with this release! if you faced weird issues/blackscreens/freezes a clean flash is recommended without smartswitch / samsungcloud restore

- When upgrading from V6 to V7 some users faced FCs, and issues using internal data / taking screenshots and instability / freeze mainly while using enforcing option, for those users, you must format data in TWRP (Wipe > format data > YES) this will clear all of internal data which contains incompatible data from V6.
i would again advise for a full clean flash when upgrading to V7

OneUI 2.5 Related Notes
- These are issues that are caused by OneUI 2.5 , that i have no power over to fix.

1) Google Chrome sutter/freeze : github

2) AllowedDevices list in hotspot : Github

3) goodlock SountAssistant might limit audio : Github

F.A.Q :

V7.0 Related F.A.Q :

Q : Should i use Enforcing ? What is it ? How to enable it
A :
- Selinux Enforcing can be enable by ticking ENFORCING option in AROMA installer
- Enforcing adds restrictions and does not just allow anything to access anything
- Enforcing will allow you to bypass MOST root detection and will allow many Banking apps to work again
- If you want to use ROOT + Enforcing you are likely to need Magisk Hide (magisk v23) / Denylist (V24+) to retain banking apps etc
- Selinux Enforcing is still "Testing" phase, but it should be stable for now
- Settings does not show Selinux status, to know status you can type "getenforce" in terminal emulator
- Enforcing ONLY works in the included Cronos V7.0 Kernel, and will be disabled if you change kernels

Q : Note 7 Iris ?
A :
- Iris can be registered and enabled on Note 7 However it is still experimental, and is prone to causing a random reboot every few days
- A test workaround is disabling "Screen on Iris Recognition"
- In order to have IRIS Flash light torch intensity has been disabled, instead the torch will run at max brightness always

Q : Infinity wallpapers ?
A : Infinity wallpapers were removed due to out of date S9+ Builds, as samsung no longer ships updates for it

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 : 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

Q : How to get Root ?
A : Download Magisk and follow instructions (V23.0 Is recommended if you root + easy magisk hide. rename .apk to .zip and flash via twrp if your version is old)

Q : SafetyNet ?
A : The ROM Already contains bypasses and fixes for Safetynet without the need of magisk, however if you root, you must enable HIDE to restore Hiding for many apps

V6.0 F.A.Q :

Q : Random Audio Muting new workaround
A : Incase you are still unlucky and get muting, in dialer type *#0*# and press speaker. this will restore your audio without rebooting

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 : 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 : GCAM Support?
A : You have to use Android Q compatible GCAM Otherwise it will be stuck at processing, This version of UnixCamera by @mark199850 is supported. install it then go into camera settings and restart the gcam app

Q : How to Adjust/Disable level of touch key vibration ?
A : Go to settings > Sound and vibration > Vibration Intensity > Increase or decrease Touch Interaction (lowest will disable vibration)

Q : How to Disable keylight without enabling PowerSaving ?
A : Use this app to configure key light time out settings GalaxyButtons

Q : Does this support X?
A : This ROM supports All Exynos8890 devices (S7/S7E Note7 and Note7FE) and does not support Snapdragon models

Q : I have Symlinks error / Rom wont go past splash
A : As the AROMA Told you, don't pick all the bloat. and use default settings if you don't know otherwise
A : If you previously installed Treble, and did not flash revert, Now is a good time. Your system might be too small

Q : Device is running too hot
A : If it was just set-up, Give it time and make sure everything is up-to-date.

Q : What to do after the rom is setup ?
A : Go to samsung apps, let the phone update everything except game booster

Q : My phone does NOT boot help pls
A : Ensure you have LATEST bootloader and modem installed, did all the wipes, and did your house chores.

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

Avoid This patch, it is causing other audio issues, to resolve 3rd party call volume change, follow this workaround : 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

V1.0 Patches (Do not Flash on V2.0)

Patch 1 : Wifi Improvements
