Hi,
I have installed that ROM but there is no SIM toolkit in application. Is there any way to install it?

Edit: Downloaded SM-N950F_TUR_N950FXXSCDTF1_fac.zip and extracted it via ClassyKitchen_Free_Beta_1.0.4. After that copy Stk folder into system-app and give 0755 permission. It worked.

I thought I was the problem, but not me. The problem is in the rom. It gives a System Error, and it saddens me that you haven't been interested in this problem for several weeks, even though I have told it. @Kill-Switch

You say You've told me about the issue, But this is the first time i see such error, If you really want me to invest time on fixing a serious bug do me a favor and send me some logs :) and if i had time I'll try my best to fix it.

kill switch probably doesn't care anymore really interesting problem. I've been using it for about a month. are you rooted maybe a root add-on is giving this error. I just flashed this rom. I didn't download root or anything else affecting the system. I'll say download Floyd but you probably downloaded it and it seemed slow. Floyd 6.6 will be released soon. I suggest you try

I'm sorry ?? I don't care ?? because I've left the community for several months due to personal issues it suddenly became that i don't care my ROM's, If you got serious issues with the ROM, Help me by sending Logs, Guides all over Google on how to extract Log.
Have a nice day!!

Using this amazing rom almost a year and it's the best custom rom I have ever tested (v9-v10) and this morning I flashed v10 again but I could not find the blackdiamond tweak app and the HKTweaks app which I was previously had (No Viper in Aroma installer too) but found HKTweaks app from the mentioned source but I cannot find that blackdiamond tweak app.

Also the face unlock feature is missing too and I know google had taken away that but I had that feature(and those tweak apps) in your ROM before I flashed it again till this morning.
Any fixes please?

Thanks

I just came back to this ROM again after 3 months using DotOS. Maybe I will stay on this ROM until v11 or stable DotOS release. BD is my fav ROM period.
I have tried other ROMS just to see if they offer anything different, not because I was unhappy or had issues with this ROM. Always come back because it is a great ROM, the best out there IMHO. The dev is really helpful too, which makes a big difference.

Face unlock (Trusted Face) can be found under Settings/Lock screen/ Smart lock. However, you must set up your pin/pattern and ALL of your fingerprints during the initial setup. If you skip this step (the default is Swipe) then you will not find Trusted Face anywhere.

If you forget to do the above and require Trusted Face then you will need to factory reset and start again.

Lovely rom, bought an s7 edge for gifting and tried a couple of roms and this is so good. The only problem I noticed is that the sound coming from earpiece sounds distorsioned and this is not present in some other roms and it's present in others. I disabled dual speaker mod, is there any fix for this? would make it perfect! thanks!

Hi, i've flashed this rom a couple days ago, previously i always use the official rom of samsung s7 edge. Everything was perfect except these 2 little problems that bother me a lot.
1. There was some stuttering/lagging when i used instagram for watching the instastory/snapgram. I've tried to wipe cache & dalvik in TWRP and reinstalling the instagram or even installing the instagram mod, but nothing works, instagram still lagging when watching someone instastory/snapgram
2. When i tried to turn off autosync, it was always getting back to turned on. I've no idea what is wrong with this, but as far as i know, in official rom i was able to turn off autosync permanently


Is there any solutions for my problems? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me
And i'm thanking to those who made this rom

Thank you so much @Kill-Switch @corsicanu ! This ROM has served me well for the last couple years, helped me get more mileage out of this S7! It is developers like you that add so much value to XDA, I'm amazed every time I think about it.

One issue though, can you put out a patch to bring the security patch level up to date? I believe the last one is from Jul 2020, which is over a year ago, and we all know how many security issues unpatched android has!

thanks!!!

Hello everyone, I have updated BD.N8 Link. What's changed ?

1. AppLock is added
2. Patched DualApps apk is added

Regarding Trusted Face, Please read the following :

Trusted Face (face unlock) is one of the methods that can be used to unlock your phone. Others include PIN, Pattern and Fingerprints. Trusted Face can be found under Settings/Lock screen/ Smart lock. However, Google removed Trusted Face with a Google Play Services update a few years ago.
This ROM has Trusted Face but to allow it to function you must follow this process:
1. During the initial “Setup” process set up a secure lock screen. For example, (and this can be changed later) set up a simple pattern for the lock screen. Fingerprints etc. can be added later.
2. Once you have entered your Google and Samsung account details and the initial “Setup” is complete, you should immediately go and set up Trusted Face. It can be found under Settings/Lock screen/ Smart lock. This must be the first thing you do. Do not run the Google Play Store app before setting up Trusted Face. Failure to follow this sequence could remove the Trusted Face option.
3. Once Trusted Face has been set up and is functioning it is safe to run Google Play Store and perform all the updates.
Future updates to Google Play Services or other Google apps will not remove Trusted Face if the above procedure is followed.
If you forget to do the above and require Trusted Face then you will need to factory reset and start again.

Some users are asking for a rebase , I honestly would like to do it but I don't have my testing unit anymore and I'm really busy. You can try Floyd ROM, It's developed by my friend @ananjaser1211 Go and show him some love :)

Thanks to @dave457 for updating N8 zip and for the Trusted Face workaround.

    Read this F.A.Q While the rom is Downloading.

    Q: Not passing SafteyNet.

    A : Not sure what went wrong, you could flash SafteyNet Magisk module to fix it.

    Q: How to use face unlock ?
    A : Unfortunately face unlock feature is removed officially by Google.

    Q: Can I dirty flash over Version Z.X.Y ??
    A : You can give it a shot but I'm not responsible for any errors.

    Q: How to use Samsung-Pay ?
    A : If you are here you should know already, Once you trip Knox, You cant, Forever.

    Q: Why Phone volume is too high ?
    A : Maybe because you choose dual speaker mod in aroma, Re-flash ROM and don't tick dual speaker option.

    Q: How to Get VoLte/Wifi calling ?
    A : Make sure you ticked correct OMC option in Aroma.
