Installed this with ease. Runs a hell lot smoother and snappier than the stock firmware. You think that the option to use the ultra wide cam sensor would be possible in future builds? Always wondered as its only been just the main and the front options for when i use the camera even in 3rd party apps.
Some gcam ports support the wide cam if I remember correctly, but yeah this is on the potential feature list

I've never had that happen, there's a chance that the sensor could be faulty.. try re-adding the finger or switch to other unlock method. Realistically this shouldn't be a rom problem since it only talks with the sensor, so if the scanner returns success then the phone unlocks.

It also might be unlocking with face unlock, without you noticing, or something like smart lock.

The problem is the ROM. I returned the official ROM, everything is fine

Sounds like either an issue with your phone or the way you install stuff. What's the model? (SM-A705XX)
Dude, I've been using the rom for a long time. There are 2 problems with the rom. First, the live wallpapers create lag in the rom. the second is about adaptive brightness. Sometimes the screen dims too much even though it hits too much light.

That message you're replying to seems to be completely unrelated. If the dim you're talking about happens mainly during unlocking of the phone, that bug has been corrected and will be released with the next update.
Yes, especially when unlocking the phone. However, when the adaptive brightness is on, it sometimes dims the brightness unnecessarily when the light is hitting.

    Will they update to Android 14?
    You'll certainly hear in time when the developer is ready and was able to devote his time for something you're able to receive for free. The developer doesn't owe you anything and you aren't his custtomer. Just be patient!

    New build is out, fixing the Camera app bug which would produce pictures that are way too big in size.

    Thanks for your work rtd you are a god of optimizing codes .

    In this rom i notices about 4 bugs on the last version

    First:-
    Auto brightness - brightness bar
    2 diff scenario
    1- auto brightness its kinda glitchy when i activate it on the on it start to increase about 4% and decrease in every 10 sec in a min at the same position but its not always like that


    2nd one brightness bar sometimes when i change it . It doesnt responds it in full brightness by default even if i make it 0%


    Second:-
    When screen is off and mobile data off and wifi

    Every 1 hour it decrease 1% or 2 of battery without doing anything while sleeping

    On stock wasnt change that much every 2 or 3 hours about 1 %

    Third:-
    google assistance are not working on lock screen i dont know why but i tried every option even when its on for entering pass or fingerprint
    ; Should unlock the pass in order to listen to me

    Fourth:-

    The gdialer app are not saving the recorded calls in records files but the app itself says it has a record data and i can delete them all
    I search for data/ google.dialer the file it keeps loading without opening

    Suggestion please for more options im not asking alot but i know you can do it bro 🫡

    1- would you please put an Themes option for quick settings

    2- changing lock screen widget its always default i guess.

    .thank for you work again 😊




    3- always on display 1 tap to show for 10 second like stock - coz i have to press the finger print to wake it up or unlock the phone with the button

    4- double tap on empty wallpaper to lock the device
    Maybe you have some glitches in your adaptive brightness curve, reset can help:

    **Reset adaptive brightness.** Go to **Settings > Apps > See all apps > Device Health Services > Storage & cache > Manage space > Reset adaptive brightness**.

    (For me, de default brightness settings works quite nice ☺️) Since the last update I do not use the app Velis Auto Brightness anymore, but you can see with this app if you have a glitchy or smooth brightness curve.

    For suggestion 4: Display -> tap to sleep? (Double tap in statusbar)

    For suggestion 4: Display -> tap to sleep? (Double tap in statusbar)
    Thank you bro.

    Ik there is in status bar but when it comes to use one hand double tap on empty space like the stock does make it much easier . That is the point . Ik mean we are all using custom rom to make it easier to use . And thanks for rtd hard work on each rom he made alot of progress ❤️

    I'm stuck here even I have the OEM unlocked already.

    If your phone is unlocked the right way (see below), connect your phone to the computer and run in cmd: adb reboot bootloader

    Continue with step 2 of the installation guide.

    (Step 5, I prefer adb sideload <rom-file>)

    Unlocking bootloader (follow all steps):
    Make sure that you completely unlock the bootloader (also in downloading mode) (manual from Haky86)
    • Go to Settings.
    • Tab on Connections.
    • Select your WiFi connection, then insert the password (otherwise OEM unlocking option won't appear).
    • Tab to About phone.
    • Then tab on Software information.
    • Tab many times on Build number, untill you see “Developer mode has been enabled“ appears on your screen.
    • Now back to the main Settings page, then click on Developer options.
    • You should able to see the OEM unlocking option, if it is gray enable it.
    • Reboot the device into downloading mode by Volume Up + Volume Down + Power + connect the device into the USB port.
    • Choose Volume up long press: Device unlock mode.
    • Press on Volume up Unlock bootloaedr (may avoid warranty) option.
    • Reboot the device, and check the OEM unlocking option again :).
    • Congrats, your bootloader has been unlocked.
    I hope this helps.

    Our mission is to offer the maximum possible stability and security, along with essential and useful features for the proper functioning of the device

    Based on Android 13
    What is working:
    - WiFi
    - DualSIM, including calls on both sims
    - Bluetooth
    - NFC
    - Camera
    - Sound
    - GPS

    - SafetyNet
    - Sound in calls (since that requires clarifying now..)
    - Most other basic stuff

    Known issues:
    - VoLTE/VoWiFi, of course :)

    Installation guide:

    1. Recommended Samsung firmware version is A705FNXXU5DVK6, but it will work on slightly older versions too.​

    Make sure that the bootloader is unlocked.​

    --

    2. Boot the phone into download mode. Flash Pixel Experience recovery through AP button in Odin.​

    Download here.

    Note: TWRP will not work! It does not support new A13 roms with the latest changes.
    Use PE recovery for the best experience, otherwise don't complain if your phone bootloops.
    --

    3. Boot into recovery (Vol+ and Power while USB is plugged into PC)​

    Note: Samsung's OneUI wipes the custom recovery partition and possibly vbmeta while booting so try not to reboot into Android.
    --

    4. Format data and system in the recovery​

    --

    5. Flash the rom in "Apply update" menu.​

    There are 2 ways to install:
    • On the phone: Copy the zip to a FAT32-formatted microSD card and install it in recovery.
    • With a PC: Use Minimal ADB on Windows. Open "cmd-here" and type
      Code:
      adb sideload <rom-file>
      where <rom-file> is the filename (drag-and-drop the zip file into cmd window).
    --

    6. (Optional) If you want superuser access, flash Magisk in the same way that you flashed the rom.​

    We now have a working ramdisk so newest Magisk works fine ^^
    --

    7. Reboot and enjoy :)

    Downloads:​

    (Update recovery and clean flash if coming from 2023.01.04!)

    ROM: 2023.09.22

    Recovery: 2023.06.18

    Status update: the new update is ready, with long awaited FOD dimming, night light FOD, corrected vibration intensity, bluetooth voip calls support, and some rom-side fixes too like Safetynet/Play Integrity + fixed first time setup crash. Unfortunately, my ISP is currently having some trouble and upload speeds are horribly low, so I can't actually upload the build! :ROFLMAO:

    I'll update the trees on git soon in case someone would want to build from source, otherwise just be patient.

    @eniothecheesy reflash vbmeta and PE recovery, then try again.
