F.A.Q​

1. My screen doesn't turn on when receiving calls
Go to Settings > Display Settings > Edge Screen > Edge Lighting . Switch from "Always" to "When screen is ON".

2. I can't access VoLTE
Please check Post #3 for downloading VoLTE patch for your country.

3. I can't play PUBG smoothly in this ROM. I experience lag.
Note8 is a heavy base for our devices. I have done maximum GPU optimisations.

4. I have a UI lag when using Infinity wallpapers.
Same too here. Our device isn't optimised for these high resolution infinity wallpapers. So, if u feel lag, change to normal wallpaper:laugh:

5. I can't use Iris / Face recognition options
Do we have a Iris scanner / face detector on our phone ?

6. How much time does it takes for first install ?
Probably 5 - 7 minutes approx.

Remaining will be posted soon...

What should I do?

1. Face Lock is accessible from Settings > Lock Screen Settings > Smart Lock > Trusted Face Recognition. Try again.

2. I updated the apk, please change back to older version of Game Optimizer apk or wait for v1.2

3. If u applied Native Blur with a Navigation Bar, there might be a lag because this is ported from a heavy base. Will try to correct it in next version v1.2

Press thanks if i helped you.

Nice Rom!!
Specially, I very like Infinity wallpaper and Google Play icon ?.

But I feel playing game SO LAG. =((

I played games Arena of Valor & PUBG Mobile (with GFX Tools) in S CUBE NFE ROM and feel quite smooth (join in match quickly, no or few lag). But this ROM I join match very late, move very difficult in PUBG Mobile (very lag). I can't play PUBG with this ROM.
Infinity wallpaper so lag when unlock screen.

Another things, I feel very good!! All be updated.

HOPE YOU FIX AND UPDATE SOON!!
Thanks so much!

Gaming lag will be there because.... its Note8. its a heavy base for A5 2016. Maybe in future versions, i will try to optimise the ROM

Hi!
I have installed Your ROM yesterday on my A5 2016. It's first custom rom on that phone, so I'm on it directly from latest stock 7.0 and I have to admit that it's incredible! Some of the features are not working for me, like edge lighting and apps edge, but I don't really need them so it's not a problem. I have already done some debloating and now it's perfect for me! Thank You very much for your work! It's very advanced modification as for A5 and finally this phone is 100% functional and it's using its hardware as it should.
I have installed latest Magisk 18.1, using Magisk uninstaller and flashing the latest than. It's all good!
Only thing I would like to ask is that if I can remove the navbar somehow. I choose to install it in aroma because I forgot about the buttons it has I'm used to my S8 because A5 is like a spare phone for me.
Thanks once again and I hope that You will keep developing on this project. :highfive:
Cheers

I'm tried install but stuck on initial logo. Any tips to work this ROM?

My device: A510M

I think that you should wait a little bit longer. In my case installation was just regular:
-format data (because it was first installation after stock)
-reboot to TWRP
-wipe all the rest
-flash the ROM
-reboot to system and wait

First boot took a while, I was already sure that it's not going to work, but it started successfully.
So just try once again and wait about 20 minutes, I think that's maximum time for first boot.
Cheers

Thanks bro!
