[ROM][A320X] H-ROM N20 PORT V1.0 [10.0][OneUI 2.5][64 bits][Treble]

[Astrako]

DISCLAIMER

• I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you
• I've put a huge amount of time and effort in this SOLO project (no other dev has been involved), so respect me and respect my work. You are NOT allowed to use this rom, its vendor or any of the other files included as base for your projects.

FEATURES

• OneUI 2.5 under Android 10, ported from the SM-N980F
• A320X supported
• Arm64 with Treble support
• Fully deodexed
• SIMPLE-KERNEL included, compiled from A600FNXXU5CTB9 sources. Built permissive.
• Deknoxed, debloated, and removed all samsung useless security stuff in rom and kernel level
• N20 muti CSC with additional features (call recording, etc)
• And many more!

KNOWN BUGS

• All S-PEN features have been removed, don't ask for them!
• In some phone variants, the rom could be a bit laggy while opening apps. Try cleaning dalvik&cache
• Face recognition doesn't work
• Updating camera app through Samsung app store will break it
• Light in capacitive buttons for those devices with hardware buttons
• Some 3rd camera apps like footej or whatsapp video calls don't work (this bug is only present in the A3, J7 2016 and J7 Prime). Use whatsapp business as workaround
• FM Radio could be bugged too for phones different than the A3
• Other inherent bugs from OneUI and/or 7870 limitation
• You tell me

DONATIONS

Awesome work. I am not a user of this device, but you are one different individual. I second, no donations, give for animal food and shelter, and not even humans. I do that every day.

Thanks Astrako, i'll try it over the S20 port you did on my A320FL...i'll update this post afterwards.

UPDATE for future readers : i ran into problems (see below) thanks to me using an antiquated version of TWRP.Once i replaced it with latest OrangeFox, i could partition + flash properly.
One small remark : the boot screen is static (samung) without blinking or showing signs of life so don't be a idiot like me and think something is wrong...


After several tries, the archive isnt installing : ERROR 7 after detecting A320 :
symlink : some symlinks failed
... failed to mount /data (invalid argument).

I have followed Astrako's instruction and previously flashed the indicated repartition script.
Don't know what to do next, i'll have to find out what happened to /data ( 0 mb in size).

TRWP : i format the data partition and the install now blocks at sd storage mount...

Updated TRWP to OrangeFox, reflashed partition then the Rom and now the phone is borked on Samsung logo. I've remade the pb worse it seems.

Any idea how can i get back from there, i'm open to all suggestions.

power key + home key + volume down key
apply this when you enter download mode cancel by pressing the volume down key and enter recovery mode you should be quick

Thanks i knew that but it is good to have someone ...

Long story short : it worked and the samsung logo was in fact static whilst booting... i panicked. the rom is running albeit is it sluggish.

Have to do some reboots to see if speed improves.

Ok quick update :

Slowessness is gone after several reboots.
Bluetooth pairings are remembered (after reboots to be sure) : which is an improvment over the S20 rom.
Still have to test echo in calls and the adaptive brightness.

about how many times did you reboot?

 

[jediafr]

about how many times did you reboot?

4 times for the tests but now i'm on 6th and the parings are still memorized and recalled.

Since i tested the GPS : ok.

data gives error and stayed in samsung logo for a long time, rom did not open. What should I do? How many minutes could you open it?

Ok data error can be fixed by formating /data within TWRP BUT i strongly suggest you use the last orangefox + the repartition script indicated by Astrako.

Update for 24h on a 320FL :

Works :
Phone calls (no echo i.e S20 ROM).
GPS guidance
Wifi
Bluetooth : speakers, headsets, smart watch all remembered and reconnected between reboots
Battery usage seems normal
HomeUI is snappy (after several reboots but Astrako warned us about that)
Magisk : ok following Astrako's guidelines.

Doesnt work (so far)
Adaptive brightness

Conclusion : it's a keeper and a net improvement over the S20 rom.

Hello, my first day with this project. I'm experimenting with the A320F device and it's a very successful project that works fast. Of course, after a few hours of waiting. I will write if I have a problem. Friends worth a try.

Please a520f please a520f please please

 

[mehmettaha.celik]

Hello there. As far as I know @Astrako is not interested in your phone model. You can get yourself A3.
