Welcome to Prometheus ROM For Galaxy J7 2017
ONLY FOR SM-J730F/FM/G/GM/DS And more Exynos J7 2017​


Some information you should know..
  • This is a full S9 plus port with android version 8.0
  • If you want to report a Bug, read the F.A.Q First Then provide a logCat OR LoggingKit.zip with detailed explanation
  • Read the instructions and the F.A.Q Before installing the rom or posting a reply.
  • You are not allowed to use this base, if you want to make rom, "DIY"
  • Any sort of File Kanging will be reported without hesitation, we know our codes.
  • If you like this rom and appreciate my efforts, Hit the Thanks button, and consider a donation

Ive debated weather to release or keep this port for a while, but figured it would be a good thing for the community, and maybe my last. S9 framework isnt the most stable in terms of long-term use , so a major thing to be said is expect a reboot once atleast every 24~48 hours , some are totally safe and wouldnt encounter one, some will. compared to PrometheusLite this one packs much more performance and fluidity. and ofcourse all the software flagship features that are possible to port (No AR3D emoji or bixby Voice as those require 64bit)

RULES OF POSTING : READ everything before commenting, And especially the instlal steps, the rom has been tested throughly for a long time, so if you have an critical issue like not booting or no sim, you missed the instructions, posts that are irrelevant to this project will be ignored(Constructive criticism is welcomed). If you do face a new bug however, dont just say "hey bug here" provide more information, and a LOGCAT, bug reports without logcats will most likely be ignored.

    -J7 Gray AOD fixed
    -Permissive
    -GMS wakelocks disabled
    -FakeKnox
    -init.d
    -And many more optimizations

    and many more goodies


  1. ensure you have LATEST TWRP from Here
  2. Download and copy the ROM to your device external SDcard (preferred)
  3. Wipe everything (SYSTEM,DATA,CACHE,DALVIK and preferably Internal storage all together)
  4. Flash the ROM.ZIP
    VERY IMPORTANT
  5. When the phone reboots and you see boot animation, hold volume down + home + power then volume down to restart the phone
    This is needed to have deodexed Oreo roms work (this is required after clean flashing the rom only) if not done, your rom will lag
    [*]Be careful, setup wizard will ask you to CANCEL/REBOOT for SIM installation, PRESS REBOOT and let the phone do its thing, if you did not install an OMC rom before you must do this, otherwise your sim wont work well. its necescery to have many countries properly supported, if you skiped this you will be asked agian but it wont do the right thing and will just be stuck
  6. Setup your rom and READ the F.A.Q for more information.


  • FM Radio
  • Faceunlock only works when Fingerprint is OFF
  • Front Flash only works in camera app
  • Some users may encounter sudden reboot once every 24~48 hours of runtime

    some of issues are basically unfixable until we get official oreo build from samsung
    because we are limited when it comes to what we can use (libs drivers etc)

F.A.Q



Good idea to read this F.A.Q While the rom is installing

Q : BixbyVision has weird stretch
A : Update the app in GalaxyApps

Q : I dont have root help plez
A : Install magisk app if its gone

Q : Phone took alot of time to boot, and is very laggy
A : pay attention to install steps and reboot

Q : There is SIM popup that keeps coming to ask me for restart
A : you DID NOT follow the instructions, Reinstall the rom and pay attention

Q : in the first SIM question in setup wizard, language is not english, what does it say
A : The RIGHT button is what you need to press, it will factory reset the phone (not touching your internal) and setup your /EFS with an OMC file that is linked to your simcard, so the rom will auto detect your CSC just like official samsung phones

Q : I dont see any EDGE panels after installing
A : Reboot the phone

Q : How is battery Life ?
A : With some tests and some cycles, it will be better than stock due to optimzations

Q : What to do after the rom is setup ?
A : Go to samsung apps, let the phone update everthing

Q : My phone does NOT boot help pls
A : Ensure you have LATEST AF bootloader and modem installed, did all the wipes, and did your house chores,

Notes

Those issues are basicly unfixable until we get official oreo build from samsung
- Because we are limited when it comes to what we can use (libs drivers etc)
If you have no Root, manually install MAGISK APK if you picked magisk
For the most optimal feature set, Pick CSC instead of OMC
- In some countries OMC can lose feature sets
If faceunlock is not working be sure to disable Figerprints+Fingerprint gesture
EdgeLighting needs to be enabled for all apps manually
If you pick OMC be sure to select the RIGHT slection for simcard question at setup wizard
- Failure in doing that will keep the the popup and no simcard will work
- You can Pick CSC to avoid this or read the thread instructions
The DolbySpeaker Mod is experimental and EXTREAMLY LOUD so be careful with it
- If you want normal sound boosting, just pick the standalone soundbooster instead

i assume you rebooted already, if not , do that, and check that the apps have camera permission, they work well here..

Looks like its an isolated issue to you, as both the note 8 and oreo roms have working WiFi, if it works in stock it must work here.
