[ROM][10.0][OneUI 2.5] Rise-Q v2.1 for A5 and A7 2017

Search This thread
Thank you very much for this awesome rom ! I've been using the last version for a couple of days, it seems pretty stable. No real lags (I think korea rom was a bit smoother but hey), gps and stuff work good.
Only thing I encountered is with the Bluetooth, I connected some speakers but the phone seems to forget it everytime I try to reconnect (I need to pair it manually and the speaker doesn't show up in the saved list).
Again good job 👍
There's a Magisk module called "Bluetooth library patcher" that will fix your bluetooth issue. Sadly I forgot to include this in the latest update.

There should be a magisk module that fixes bluetooth pairing, we had this issue when testing the first version and that solved it until the patch was put into the rom, also yeah korean is effectively stock based and this isn't so that'll probably be more stable but riseq is very very good now, just a couple of issues left
Smooth as butter. Thank you so much. Also can you kindly help me with compatible gcam that has portrait mode

You could try zgcam since that gcam definitely works and is great for photos, although i'm not sure about portrait mode
 
I found another error in the ROM. on the edge screen. when taking screenshot it disappears. So in the screenshot you don't see the edge screen.
That seems more like a feature to me. It disappears for a moment so it wouldn't obscure the screen.
Edit: I tested that on an A51 and yes, it happens there too.

Just bought a second hand A5 2017 (as a second phone) in brand new condition and with a new battery. Stock rom was very bad, but after installing this one, it really did made a difference in performance. Great job from the dev!

I have a small "issue" with the aod edge. the edge lighting works when screen is on, but not on the aod screen. am I missing out on something or is it a bug? I've enabled it for all the apps btw.
And also thanks for the rom dev. It fixed one of the most annoying issues i had with these ports which was the delay in camera opening and closing in apps and the random camera crashes. The camera in this is buttery smooth. not to say that a newer version of android is always a plus.

Been using v2.0 for 10 days now and I can safely say this is the smoothest ROM I've used since HadesROM!
Big fan of all the features like Bixby and Edge screen too :)
Battery life is also very stable, considering this is OneUI 2.5 on a 4 year old phone.


No major bugs or crashes so far, so it's looking really good. :)
Great job!

can I use the Samsung Galaxy wearable app and Samsung SmartThings app with this rom?
For wearable I am not sure as I have no buds, but the app seems to launch just fine.
SmartThings should work. It does for me.

What you can't use is Knox features such as Samsung Pay, Pass and Secure Folder.

Speaking of which, I do have one question to the creator of the ROM: Is there a way to get Secure Folder working? I tried using Smali Patcher. It generated a Magisk module and I could apply it successfully, but even after putting all the neccessary apk files (Knoxcore, Secure Folder etc) in system/priv-app, Secure Folder still can't be created.

Thank you very much mate. This version is great. It's been 15 days, I use it intensively and actively, with lots of apps installed. I have hardly seen any mistakes. I have never even seen a horse. Thank you. Thanks for your efforts.

Just made a phone call (with 2 different people) and the told me that they can hear themselves (echo but delayed and very faint, not loudly). Is there any one else with the same problem on the latest v2?

Edit: Just installed Lineage and I didnt face that issue (of course, no volte/vowifi are available)
Edit2: Dual Speaker mod was creating the echo issue. I clean-installed the rom without that mod from aroma and now everything seems ok

Yeah it's being caused by an issue with our phone's mic setup (i think the cancelling one isn't working properly or something like that) and of course dual speaker creates more sound so therefore more echo

    • This mostly happens if you're rooted with Magisk because the system detects that you're rooted and denies DRM. To fix that, install this Magisk Module. Note that DRM will fall back to L3 which means that you won't be able to watch anything in HD.

    UPDATE
    Rise-Q v2.1 is here!

    This is mainly a bugfix release, mostly small things (like removing the fingerprint unlock animation), but also some bigger ones. One of those fixes is Secure folder. I have finally been able to get it to work. To bypass issues with secure folder, I highly recommend to install Secure Folder only when doing a clean flash. I won't reply to bugreports from people who dirty flashed and have issues with it.
    Apart from that, I have seen multiple users report low media sound since v2.0. I compared the sound volume between v1.0, v1.1 and v2.0 and it sounded 100% identical for me. It may be an issue that comes from dirty flashing v2.0 on top of v1.1, so consider a clean flash first and tell me the exact steps to reproduce.

    Finally, as always for a new update, I recommend wiping your system partition before installation to bypass possible issues.

    UPDATE
    Rise-Q v2.0 is here!

    At first, I want to thank @ananjaser1211 for his fixes and of course for answering all my stupid questions. Also thanks to @Option58 for upstreaming our kernel to Linux 3.18.140. Finally, huge thanks to all testers on Telegram for even finding the tiniest bugs.
    As this release of Rise-Q is now based on OneUI 2.5 from Galaxy Note 10 Lite, dirty flashing it over Rise-Q v1.0 or v1.1 will in most cases not work! It is highly recommended to wipe /data in recovery before installing Rise-Q v2.0.

    GOD bless you MR.Simon1511;
    I hope to see android 11 ui3 for a520f Can I see?

    TANX Dear Friend
    Im gonna say this for once so everyone knows about it:
    Do NOT expect a OneUI 3 port from me. In my opinion, the added value between OneUI 2.5 and OneUI 3 is too low for the amount of work this would probably need.
    Apart from that, there would be 2 major problems:
    1. HWC
    2. Samsung Camera

    Our old Pie HWC has been working fine on Pie and Q, but on R Google decided to change HWC related stuff again which makes our Pie HWC incompatible to android 11. And yes, I know that HWC has been fixed on LineageOS 18 for our device, but the fix from there is likely not gonna work on OneUI. In short, this means for you: Broken HWC = very poor performance.
    Also samsung camera is gonna be a problem since all(?) newer samsung devices use a newer camera API that is simply incompatible to our "older" camera implementation.

    Note that these are just a few big bugs we know about so far, but there would probably be even more that would make a ROM based on that pretty much unusable in my opinion.

    So in conclusion: No OneUI 3 for our device(s).

    Apart from that, I want to thank everyone once again for all the bugs you found and reported and all your thankfulness!
