Hello, it's me again, I also wanted to ask something that I forgot, is it possible to run this rom with a lineage os kernel? That is, take the hyper linux fix kernel. From lineage 16(android pie) and flash it to this one ui rom?
If it is not possible, do you know any custom kernel for this rom? does it work fine on my s6 flat g920i? Thank you
I have an s6 flat G920I with this rom, I like it because of the oneUI and the basic samsung apps.
Of the problems I have the following that makes it uncomfortable to use the rom, the phone charges, but if, for example, I play Mobile Legends with the charger on so that it does not download so quickly, there comes a time when it no longer charges at 60 or 50% to charge as if not connected unless you restart the phone. Even using the phone normally with the battery at 100 in social networks without the charger. When the battery is already more or less 50%, I try to place the charger and it does not charge, I mean, it does not detect it until I restart the phone. Which is frustrating especially if I'm playing and I see that I have little charge left and I quickly connect the charger to avoid turning off the phone and noticing that it does not detect it and that it will turn off anyway, losing in my games.
Any help or fix. Zip to flash?
They also have some settings in htweak to play games and have the best possible battery life and also for browsing and networks I used them, the best settings?. I expect a prompt response
Thanks.
Post: I read that the hcw has already been repaired. Do you happen to have the patch or fix Zip in advance?
well, it is a known fact that heat ruins a battery life. playing games overheats your phone. charging overheats your phone. and you wonder why the phone chooses not to charge itself when you are playing games ? dont play games when charging your phone. what you should do is to set the phone in ultra power saving mode, with airplane mode active and let it charge. shouldnt take more than a hour. then you will have a full battery.
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"

V5.1 Notes
This is a minor update to resolve a bunch of reported errors and ones that were discovered after the release, they only addresses the bugs / changes in the changelog, this does not touch camera or anything else. this is mostly to fix networking and kernel issues reported in V5. also some minor improvements. as mentioned before, this remains an EOL version. i dont plan on rebasing to the March update, by the time im done with it and with testing, April will be out
V5.0 Notes
Here we are again, with another major release, what initially started as couple bug fixes ended up being its own fully fledged ROM. with tons of fixes and improvements to make this the ultimate Pie update for this device. and perhaps the Last. i can see no way at the moment of improving upon this release, which means my efforts hopefully will be focused towards Q if it ends up being viable and i find motivation to do so. id like to give a big shoutout to @corsicanu for his awesome V12 Base, that by itself includes a ton of improvements and id like to thank the testers for working with me on this one, its a massive ROM to say the least.
Hope you like it, and as always please read the notes and F.A.Q to understand how to use this ROM so you dont fall in issues. if you appreciate what i do here, consider donating @ Paypal
V4 Notes
Hey everyone, Finally after a long time V4 is here. ive put 10 times more effort into this compared to the previous releases. Tons were changed and the entire ROM was built up from scratch. everything rom the rom to the kernel was fully remade and improved. 30K Downloads later on V3.
Today happens to be my 22nd Birthday, and i would like to give you all a gift instead.
This Version is without a doubt the biggest ROM ive worked on to date, through development challenges, special device issues , ROM Size and tons more, it was exhausting. however
the end result makes it all worth it. testers on multiple variants / devices / configs came back positive.
While the buglist still leaves some to be desired i think this is as good as i can make it for now. maybe in the future if there was a V5 we will see it reduced.
The changelog is massive, and to summarize it, many annoying things in V2/V3 were finally resolved including the most important thing which is CALLING. US variants are finally properly supported. except the ones that use QMUX modems. maybe that will be for another day
As always, THANK YOU for being dedicated to this project. and special thanks to @DR_Amoxicillin @corsicanu @TheOGLunarixus and my testers for helping both directly and indirectly
I hope you Enjoy the ROM. if you appreciate this project consider donating @ Paypal
V3 Notes
Hey everyone, Somehow we are still standing with this project, it is as horrible as it seems, yet fun. I started this project 8 months ago to "flex" only, turns out people enjoy it including myself, Through Oreo and Pie this project has been hell to make yet i think we are at a state were we can drop the ALPHA and BETA labels of!, V3 was in active development for over 2 months (Unlike V2 where i started a month before release) This one was carefully built, and entirely from scratch (For the third time). However i understand, you guys are tired of Note7FE. and want something different, Thanks to my partner @corsicanu that is possible. He crafted one of the best feature-full roms on xda. HadesRom and with that as a base for our project, This device became something else, something amazing. and honestly better than any rom i would have made feature wise. Thanks to him and All the flagship features such as infinity wallpapers, Some S10 Features and many others are present, the aroma is PACKED with goods. This rom is around 200/300 MB larger than the previous one (which wasn't small to begin with) however i believe it is worth it. Me and [MENTION=7098450]kill-switch[MENTION] and my testers spent alot of time perfecting it, Now we support every variant that uses Exynos7420 besides china variants, those are to come later. the US variants of the S6E+ And Note 5 are supported too. I will be making a dedicated S6 thread aswell
While i am 100% sure not all users will have the same experience, i believe the vast majority will enjoy it, As always this rom is NOT for everyone, if you want a stock camera, this aint it chief. no matter how much we want it, it is just not gonna happen any time soon if ever, thats just the nature of developing a rom that is 2 major versions beyond samsung. if you dont mind the limitations mentioned below, Enjoy it as much as possible.
And as always, if you appreciate this project and want to support us , press thanks, share your opinions and help the people in this thread who are struggling. I wont be available 24/7 to do so.
You can also help us purchase more cocaine to continue development by donating me Here or @corsicanu here or @kill-switch here or @lunarixus Here
V1/V2 Notes :
So. 5 months ago i posted this ROM. big mistake, it means i have to maintain it, which i suck at. after 2 rebases and finishing V2 twice. OneUI happened for some reason god knows why, but yeah. This ROM is BETA AF. there is alot of crap that needs to be fixed besides the general bugs we had in oreo. give or take, if you are adventurous. go ahead and flash it, if not. dont B*itch in the thread about it and flash another ROM. This ROM is NOT for average ROM users. it is for those who want to be on the bleeding edge.. it wont come out of BETA until the bug list becomes shorter. This ROM is OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED ONLY on the NOTE 5 International variants. its the one i have, the one i can test personally. it will BOOT on N5/S6/S6E And S6E+ and work well relatively speaking if you bother to read the F.A.Q. Korean and US variants are also supported for all those models via Aroma options so take care. however Note 5 US variants might not work. you can try. S6/S6E support is very BETA so use with a grain of salt, a big one. read the f.a.q for tips on how to make the experience suck less.
Eventually when you discover a new Bug that shouldn't be there, DO NOT SEND ME MATLOGS. CATLOGS or whatever. Follow the guide up there on How to properly send logs. otherwise i wont care less about your post. very simple. Remember that this port is NOT supped to be possible. we should not be running oneUI, but the stars aligned in our favor. And please there is no need to tell me to fix XYZ. if its listed in bugs or was reported. im on it.
So. TLDR; This may or may not be your daily rom, it depends on who you are. if you want oneUI, this is the price. if not, there are plenty of other ROMs based on Nougat that will work right. so use them instead and let the thread be in peace.
I sincerely hope the people who end up using this rom have fun, its a fun experience, ive been using it for the past month. and its refreshing.
Old releases (Booreo)
Hey Note 5 Community, This is my first project for this device, one of many to come. many of you might know me from my Note4 projects, i have decided to purchase the note5 in order to provide for this community quality ROMs , in hopes that maybe one day everyone here will be using an Oreo based port, instead of living on nougat that samsung left us with.
Why N7FE and not N8 S9 or any newer port ? Simply said, it is too early for me and the current state of oreo. there is some important stuff that needs ironing out before introducing more bugs. N7FE Struck a great balance between a stable port, and a feature rich one. i have also thrown in alot of additional stuff you can check below.
Support for other variants will come in the future, i choose to support this small amount due to time constraints.
RULES OF POSTING : READ everything before commenting, And especially the install steps, the rom has been tested thoroughly 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.

XDA:DevDB Information Floyd OneUI, ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S6
Hi community
What is the purpose of doing your best efforts to create a wonderful UI ROM but has no camera / filled with camera bugs .. been using this ROM for a week now reversing to the Stock Nougat.
When you want to make a ROM and you expect helps or donations please achieve a full completed work, or don't expect anything but (Good Job!)
The purpose of having a smartphone is using (Cellular+Data Services, Camera, Speakers {all sounds input&outpot}, good battery usage...) and so on
I mean by that, when making a new ROM (MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE HARDWARE WORKS PERFECTLY) before publishing
Bye
wow wow wow mr President , that is no way to talk to people that work their balls off to get a device to even boot and then 1 by one try to fix the problems all for the good of the bystanders that just want want and want . YOUR MAKE SURE THAT HARDWARE WORKS PERFECTLY ..makes me mad and in real life I would surely slap you in the face for raising your voice . Sorry man you have allot to learn still.
2 days ago I flashed this rom and I was amazed how well it works. The camera thing is something common in custom roms so you flash knowing that it is very likely that it will not work. The truth is that I liked it a lot and I had no problems other than the excessive drain of the battery. The phone heats up just by operating it without games or heavy apps, it heats up instantly and obviously with games it raises much more. Before this rom I had a nougat based rom installed but it was a port of the S8, it worked almost perfectly and the camera worked like a charm, it only had an error in the gallery app but that was it; I decided to change to this rom for the simple fact of being android pie and what I like the most is the one ui version. If you still have this project present, it would be greatly appreciated if you changed the kernel to lower battery consumption since 2600 mah itself is small for the phone and more if it drains excessively. What you do is greatly appreciated, the effort and above all, the time invested in this for a phone that can be considered old but still has a lot to give.
PD: I have just implemented the change in cpu voltage and I am going to see if there are any changes in terms of energy consumption. At the moment I don't notice the changes but I hope they help because I liked the rom so much that it's hard for me to resign myself to changing it and going back to nougat.

XDA:DevDB Information Floyd OneUI, ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S6
Well, I've made an oopsie. I wanted to try out the gestures on my S6, but apparently I didn't know what I was doing. I added navbar/gestures when I was installing the ROM. The S6 already has a hardware navbar, and the "gestures" are basically just swiping from where the buttons are. But there is no way to disable them! Now there is a light grey bar at the edge of my screen for gestures, no matter what I do.
I tried a "remove navbar" app, the only one on the Play store, and it failed to remove it (not surprising, I think it was made to work on a phone by phone basis, and the custom ROM is too different for it) so now I'm hoping just to remove it manually... or reinstall. Is there a way to remove it, before I go through installing again?

So. 5 months ago i posted this ROM. big mistake, it means i have to maintain it, which i suck at. after 2 rebases and finishing V2 twice. OneUI happened for some reason god knows why, but yeah. This ROM is BETA AF. there is alot of crap that needs to be fixed besides the general bugs we had in oreo. give or take, if you are adventurous. go ahead and flash it, if not. dont B*itch in the thread about it and flash another ROM. This ROM is NOT for average ROM users. it is for those who want to be on the bleeding edge.. it wont come out of BETA until the bug list becomes shorter. This ROM is OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED ONLY on the NOTE 5 International variants. its the one i have, the one i can test personally. it will BOOT on N5/S6/S6E And S6E+ and work well relatively speaking if you bother to read the F.A.Q. Korean and US variants are also supported for all those models via Aroma options so take care. however Note 5 US variants might not work. you can try. S6/S6E support is very BETA so use with a grain of salt, a big one. read the f.a.q for tips on how to make the experience suck less.
Eventually when you discover a new Bug that shouldn't be there, DO NOT SEND ME MATLOGS. CATLOGS or whatever. Follow the guide up there on How to properly send logs. otherwise i wont care less about your post. very simple. Remember that this port is NOT supped to be possible. we should not be running oneUI, but the stars aligned in our favor. And please there is no need to tell me to fix XYZ. if its listed in bugs or was reported. im on it.
So. TLDR; This may or may not be your daily rom, it depends on who you are. if you want oneUI, this is the price. if not, there are plenty of other ROMs based on Nougat that will work right. so use them instead and let the thread be in peace.
I sincerely hope the people who end up using this rom have fun, its a fun experience, ive been using it for the past month. and its refreshing.
Old releases (Booreo)
Hey Note 5 Community, This is my first project for this device, one of many to come. many of you might know me from my Note4 projects, i have decided to purchase the note5 in order to provide for this community quality ROMs , in hopes that maybe one day everyone here will be using an Oreo based port, instead of living on nougat that samsung left us with.
Why N7FE and not N8 S9 or any newer port ? Simply said, it is too early for me and the current state of oreo. there is some important stuff that needs ironing out before introducing more bugs. N7FE Struck a great balance between a stable port, and a feature rich one. i have also thrown in alot of additional stuff you can check below.
Support for other variants will come in the future, i choose to support this small amount due to time constraints.
RULES OF POSTING : READ everything before commenting, And especially the install steps, the rom has been tested thoroughly 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.

Floyd V5.0 F.A.Q
Samsung Camera Guide
-Samsung camera only runs when auto brightness is turned off
-VideoRecording : on front/back go to ProMode > ColorTone > Tone1 > Record
--Front camera only records well at 720P
--Videos recorded will be 24~30FPS
-Selfies : Long press cam icon > select selfie
--This will switch to front camera
--To switch to main > long press icon > select auto
Few notes about the samsung camera, it seems that on the S6 its not very stable. so the best way to lunch selfie is :
1) Long press camera icon > Selfie
2) if it FCs, just tap the camera icon again and DONT long press to pick selfie
Then to switch to back camera long press and select Auto, you should not face any FCs there
Floyd V4.0 / V5.0 F.A.Q
Q : No Simcard being detected
A : Disable / remove SIMLOCK From another device or ROM
Q : Games are Laggy/Pix-elated/Stutter/sucks/crashes
A :
1- settings > advanced features > gamebooter > turn it off
2- in twrp mount system then use file manager to delete system/app/GameOptimizingService
i forgot to remove this in V4 and it causes ALOT of issues with games (pix-elated graphics , lag , weird stretches etc)
Q : Device is running too hot
A : The best way to go about this is to follow @skywoker guide here : XDA you should still play around with the voltages to find what is most stable for you
Q : Whatsapp web QR not working
A : Better and newer workaround : Here
Old workaround :
For those, who have problems when trying to use Whatsapp Web:
1. Go to Developer Options
2. Change the Smallest Width to 443 dp (443 works for me, try bigger or smaller value)
3. Switch to WhatsApp and scan QR Code
4. Restore Smallest Widht to 411 again

Q : Samsung camera does not turn on
A : Disable auto brightness (idk why dont ask)
Q : Some apps lose internet after a while or at first setup
A : Reboot your device or change process limit in developer options to 2 (due to wifi implementation)
Q : What is the best camera app ?
A : For back photos use samsung camera, for videos and selfies use Footej or idan gcam or unixcamera
Q : Cant lower incall volume on US variants
A : Side-effect of using AOSP HAL, use hkTweaks > MoroSound > reduce earpiece volume
Q : How to use GEARVR ?
A : Download and install GEARVR Setup from APKMIRROR
P.S : it is very laggy. in order to fix that you need to edit system/build.prop and change SM-N960F to SM-N920C
However that is likley to break BixbyVoice. and maybe other FE specific features which are unclear now
Q : how to use GameTools ?
A : Due to prop being changed to N950F to support bixby, if you want to use Gametools go to settings > apps > show system apps if needed > gametools and UNINSTALL updates
P.S : You can also disable it from auto updating from there
Q : My gallery cant sync samsung photos from Cloud
A : A common bug on oneUI roms from samsung. we are waiting for an update
Q : How to get Root ?
A : Download Magisk and MagiskManager from the Official Thread . flash magisk.zip and install the APK
Q : Can i use SView cover ?
A : Only basic support is added (enable in aroma) i have not tested it further
Q : What to do after the rom is setup ?
A : Go to samsung apps, let the phone update everything
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,
Old
-- Oreo version F.A.Q --
Camera works in apps that have their own jpeg processing, whatsapp, snapchat are some
HDR+ Might cause weird wobbbling in google camera, avoid it
For the most optimal feature set, Pick CSC instead of OMC
- In some countries OMC can lose feature sets
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
Q : Camera doesnt open (googlecam)
A : try to install manually from here
Q : Phone took alot of time to boot, and is very laggy
A : pay attention to install steps and reboot if you flashed magisk
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
P.S : These patches are only needed by Floyd V5 They have been integrated into V5.1
FloydV5 - NavBar Fix : Download
- Only use if you ticked NavBar in aroma.
FloydV5 - Q Keyboard language pack : Download
- Android 10 Keyboard does not support most languages so use that zip to install them
- Make sure to open the zip and remove most of the languages you dont use, otherwise it might not install due to size
- Thanks to @yash92duster
FloydV5 - CronosKernel V5.1 : Download
- This fixes a bug where the phone will reboot once it boots up
- Only affects very limited number of devices so dont flash it unless you have that issue
P.S : These patches are only needed by Floyd V4
PATCH 1 : G92XS/L/K Audio Fix
Audio Fix for korean S6/S6E Variants
So far only some S6 Devices needed this
Thanks @sammomin for sending logs of the issue and testing with me
PATCH 3 : No simcard on some devices
if you dont have simcard being detected, the issue is due to SIMLOCK. so using another Nougat ROM or a different device, Remove simlock and it will work
Snapchat banning fix and 4K Video recording (using gcam / unix cam)
Some users reported snapchat banning them, it was due to a signature verification mod, so ive removed it.
Flash noblur/blur that should be self explanatory
4K Video recording patch thanks to @Cvolton
Hey everyone, Finally after a long time V4 is here. ive put 10 times more effort into this compared to the previous releases. Tons were changed and the entire ROM was built up from scratch. everything rom the rom to the kernel was fully remade and improved. 30K Downloads later on V3.
Today happens to be my 22nd Birthday, and i would like to give you all a gift instead.
This Version is without a doubt the biggest ROM ive worked on to date, through development challenges, special device issues , ROM Size and tons more, it was exhausting. however
the end result makes it all worth it. testers on multiple variants / devices / configs came back positive.
While the buglist still leaves some to be desired i think this is as good as i can make it for now. maybe in the future if there was a V5 we will see it reduced.
The changelog is massive, and to summarize it, many annoying things in V2/V3 were finally resolved including the most important thing which is CALLING. US variants are finally properly supported. except the ones that use QMUX modems. maybe that will be for another day
As always, THANK YOU for being dedicated to this project. and special thanks to @Kill-Switch@corsicanu@Lunarixus and my testers for helping both directly and indirectly
I hope you Enjoy the ROM. if you appreciate this project consider donating @ Paypal
