About Me

I'm an 18 year old living in the States. I've been installing ROMs on my phones since my first one back in 2014. However, there was always something missing from the ROMs I used. Either I was missing key device functionality, features originally excluded to my device, battery life, or edge panels, I could go on and on. But thanks to @AndroidSword, I was motivated to make that a thing of the past, and work on my own ROM. Introducing...

TrueStockN
Features

DE-BLOATED
DE-KNOXED
DE-ODEXED
Based on G928TUVS4EQK1 Firmware with Stock Kernel for Stability and Battery Life!
Maybe a few more I can't remember...

My first goal was to make a blank canvas for me to add all the features I want, making sure to keep the important ones and getting rid of the garbage (sorry T-Mobile). As I learn more about ROM building, I will add more things. But for now, I got as close as I could to a non-carrier device, all while keeping the things some of us like e.x. VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling.

Installation Instructions

Pay attention to which version you are installing as installation for each varies!

NOTE: First boot will take some time since the ROM is de-odexed. Give it about 10 minutes and be patient!

Credits

Biggest thanks to @AndroidSword. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be writing this thread right now.
@topjohnwu and his team for their continued development of Magisk
Samsung for making great devices
Sammobile for providing stock firmwares
Thanks to various guides out there teaching people like me how to work with roms
Finally bug thanks to the XDA community for being the BEST source for anything android.

Important Notes

The ROM will not boot without root access, and I didn't want to include supersu because of so many apps not working with failed SafetyNet. Therefore, FLASHING MAGISK IS A MUST

v1 and 2 only

Notes
1. Magisk Manager sometimes requires it being opened before granting root access to apps. Do that at least once after setup.
2. Viper4Android is ready for setup if you followed the directions right (v4 beta and stable). All you have to do is open the app and follow the on-screen guide (I recommend the power saving option, works same as others but doesn't destroy your battery).
3. AdAway is preinstalled but also requires user setup before it can be enabled. Open it, download sources, reboot.
4.Note users must flash a kernel after the ROM. Use your own, look one up, or use Poseidon Kernel Non-Tmobile users will also experience bluetooth related issues. If thats a problem for you, flash your own kernel. This, however, will not impact the *majority* of users, so you can run as is.

Upgrade from 6.0.1?

I'm on ★[ROM] [STOCK] G928TUVU2DPD1 | 6.0.1 | Deodexed | KNOX Free | 4.22.2016 ☆ 1 2 3 by jovy23

Can I still upgrade using the above install method or do I need to put Stock Nougat using Odin?

Thank you in advance,
RJR

Same question here
Can I upgrade from 6.0.1 rooted ROM? Or perhaps I need to download the modem and bootloader of 7.0?
Thanks in advance.

The rom includes all the files you need to function correctly. Should install no issue. Make sure to wipe dalvik, cache and system.
