[ROM] [5.1.1] [G360T/T1] AeroROM v1 | Built for performance

[FazPhantom]

Hey how's it goin' guys! This is my first ever ROM I built, so here it is! Introducing AeroROM!

DISCLAIMER: You should bear in mind that flashing this Custom ROM will void your warranty. Therefore, I am not in any way responsible for any damages (Bricks, Fried Accessories, etc.) that may occur from performing these modifications. You are choosing to do this, it's not me forcing you to flash this ROM, lol

FEATURES

Systemless Root w/ SuperSU (Which is why you don't see "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" at boot)
Built In BusyBox
Killed Knox
Obliterated all unnecessary Samsung bloat
DeOdexed apps
DPI Tweak for more screen real-estate
More under-the-hood build.prop tweaks for improved overall performance
Minimal AeroROM breathing boot animation so it doesn't attack your eyes
Lightweight, Fluid, and Snappy

INCLUDED APPS

Viper4Android FX | A feature-packed EQ app For an enhanced audio experience
Nova Launcher | One of the most widely used launchers
ES File Explorer | An advanced file explorer app, includes root browsing
UC Mini | A reliable web browser
SuperSU | Root management
(New with v1.1) AdAway | Blocks Ads

COMPATIBLE DEVICES

Samsung Galaxy Core Prime MetroPCS variant (SM-G360T1)
And *possibly* the T-Mobile variant (SM-G360T), I do not own it so I would definitely appreciate someone confirming that for me.

INSTALLATION

1 Make sure you have the right device, if you do then you may proceed.
2 Install Root and TWRP if you haven't already
3 Copy the ROM and GApps .zip files to your Internal SDCard
4 Now this is the fun part, lol. Reboot into your recovery, swipe to allow modifications if you haven't already. Then perform a factory reset by wiping the Data, Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, and System. Once that's out of the way, flash the ROM itself first, then the GApps package.
5 Hit Reboot. Then STOP RIGHT THERE! Once the part that says SuperSU doesn't appear to be installed, hit the Do Not Install button. SuperSU does come with this ROM, it's just the method of installation.
6 Proceed with rebooting, and give it a couple of minutes. It takes this long to boot because of the DeOdexed nature of the ROM, but don't worry, this only happens once!
7 Now it's all yours to enjoy!

You can use either TWRP 2.8.70 or 3.0.1, they both work well in flashing this ROM

GAPPS

To keep a minimal file size, GApps were removed as part of the debloat process. You can get some really good GApps packages from Opengapps.org. Be sure to choose ARM as the Platform, 5.1 as the Android Version, then the GApps flavor is all up to you!

EXTRAS

Get the newest emojis on your device!

Samsung's firmware for this phone in particular comes with a set of outdated emojis that may interfere with how you see various emojis, new and old, that may be on your screen. Some new emojis come as black boxes, which isn't really good. Therefore, I'll walk you guys through updating the emojis on this ROM (or whatever ROM you may be using on this device)

Prerequisites: Any root explorer app and root access.

1: Choose your emoji flavor. Some of them are...
EmojiOne (Select emojione-android.ttf)
Android Oreo
You are not limited to these options!

Now, make sure the emoji file you downloaded is a font file (.ttf) and rename it to NotoColorEmoji (That should already be the case if you downloaded the Android Oreo emojis)

Head into system/fonts and back up the existing NotoColorEmoji to somewhere else. Then go back to the new emojis you just downloaded, and move that over to system/fonts.

Lastly, set the permissions of the font file to rw-r-r so the system can detect the new set of emojis. This is important, otherwise it won't work.

Now restart your device, and boom, enjoy your brand new emojis! Use with Gboard for best results.

Any New User Interface? Screen shots please?

I will try it when I have time however I can say rather confidently that this will work on the SM-G360T. The two phones are exactly the same with different branding.

OK kool, I am waiting for more users to test before I try it.

 

[Kani08]

Anyone tried it as yet? How's it going so far?

I'm personally running my own ROM on my own Core Prime and so far so good! Didn't notice any issues with calling or LTE or WiFi or any of the much needed stuff.

Where is the link to download? If it's that good then share it. Thanks.

Lol it's in the post itself, the link with the mega.co.nz, that's where you can download the ROM

35 Minutes, and still only see AEROROM. Vibrations occur every few seconds, like 15s. Tried first without wiping DATA, and then was taking excruciatingly long, so I went back and wiped everything twice, and then re installed without GAPPS, and 35 minutes so far. Will report any further changes. BUt honestly, this phone bootloops for literally nothing mostly. Haven't had such an unstable Samsung device ever. Kinda hate this phone now, always fixing, never can get calls or anything. Bout to just toss it in the trash. I appreciate the work you've done op, thank you. I've been looking, but is there anyway to port Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 from the 360h over to this phone, It's my personal favorite rom, and on every device since it dropped. I dont mind spending a few hours trying, but I can't build it from source.

That's not good, I think I gotta take this down if it isn't very stable. Weird though, I flashed it on my G360T1 and it booted up just fine. If a few more people report instability in this ROM then I'm taking it down, I've given up hope, CM or lineage won't be built for it at all, I doubt it'll happen at all.

But yeah what I would do is wipe every single thing including internal storage, then turn the phone off, flash stock firmware via Odin, and it should be able to fix things up

Went go take a bath, and phone is still on AEROROM, slowly fading in and out. I'm going to put stock and try from there. I'd really like a different rom other than SLIM PICKINS. Effing gravitybox causes bootloop, can't theme it black like every other device, even though I do a bit of **** for TBO, but not offically, I just want evrything to be black, but everything I try crashes and bootloops. Good thing I got this phone for free from a repair job. I appreciate your working on a new rom though, hopefully I can get it to work. I'll see if I could pull a logcat for you. Someone needs to dev a phone emulator so people like us could test on devices. I was all excited to see this, so I'll blow through a few hours, and anything I can devise from it, I'll post for you. Maybe together something might happen. I'd hate to see you have to pull it.:crying:

EDIT: Does the versions of twrp that are available work well on your device? Any twrp3 I put, the touch refuses to work. So I'm stuck on 2.8.7.0. blows dogs for quarters...

I'm not necessarily developing a totally AOSP-based ROM as this is a totally different case for me, but I'm getting used to making these stock-firmware based ROMs

And the twrp 3.0.1 I used was made by another dev, not downloaded from the official twrp site so I can give you the link to it if you're interested:

I need a rom for my galaxy core prime that will change the UI and optimize performance. I need more ram free. I have version 360gt1 core prime.. Any Miui roms etc available?

What's really stupid is that it's 2017, it's been rooted, and there still hasn't been any AOSP ROMs such as Lineage or MiUI made for it yet. Like, has this phone been abandoned?

Dude, thank you. I had already visited and downloaded that one, but it never worked, until last night. OK, so I tried multiple things, wiped every single partition clean, installed stock, (and didn't on the 2nd try) and tried using my own boot.img, and multiple other files, ended up falling asleep with phone in hand, Woke up to still AEROROM fading in and out.
I have a few jobs (I do pc, cell phone repair) and then gotta go sight in a rifle for my cousin today, so I won't be back and able to continue testing today. So sorry I cannot help further for the day.

I have a favor to ask, although technically, you've done a eff-ton for me by the twrp3 thing, but I would completely understand if you don't have time, or would rather not. You know the themes for twrp, fichl's flashable? If you know them, there's a multitude of colors, and bird333's darker purple theme, is my ****, ya knoso if you could possibly get me a flashable version of your bootanimation of AEROROM, (esp with the O with the slash, as that's how I write mine irl) in that color, I would be frigging ecstatic. And I feel like an ass, but if you would do that, I have a very small request to add to that, if you could possibly add my logo to the bottomof the bootanimation, I would flip out. I custom the **** out of everythingbut have yet to work on sammys, so it would be a massive learning curve for something so "simple" and I only ask because you technically have all the resources available to do so. If it's too much trouble, No problem, I totally totally, understand, but grateful is not strong enough of a word to express how I would feel. It's not that I want to "take" your work, it's just that it's an extra thing that gets people wanting me to do those type of things for them, since I'm unemployed,trying to start a small busisness, but I'm a total recluse, so pimped out phone is a great convo starter for me. Geez, Ik I'm rambling, but just woke up. I'll attach my emblem which is just the matrix font, on a matrix bgrnd, of XIIIMACHINE, because I'm not artistic. Sorry to type your, or rather everyone's head off here. sorry! Hopefully, this Rom can get sorted out, and as soon as I get home tonight, I will jump on it, give a hand wherever possible.

Thank you very much for your work, and effort. Keep it up.

Doesn't pass

On the tmobile varient (SM-G360T), it doesn't get passed on the "checking info" transition when setting up the device for the first time.
