AryaMod ROM Note7 Port







Some personal thoughts:
- you should read at least install instructions stated in this post and FAQ from here - i won`t offer support for any issues regarding installation;
- bug reports without device variant and logs can't be considered bugs - make sure you provide detailed info when reporting bugs;
- press 'Thanks' button instead of saying it - it will keep the thread clean and keep me motivated to do more;
- feel free to donate to me if you want to support my work;
- if you take any of my work without my permission i'll report you, and you'll probably get banned.

Notes
Please read and search before asking any question that hasn't been asked before and keep this thread clean.
I am not responsible for any damages on your device.
If you like to include any piece of this project in your project contact me or @Kamy first.
How about bugs?
This is a port rom so expect some bugs due to the fact that all features and mods including in this rom are supposed to be running on a Note7/A5 2k17 device and with a different hardware structure. However it was attempted to fix and provide as less bug free as possible for daily use. Here are major known issues for your info:
  • Status Bar clock/network speed on white background
  • Flash and report more, if any

Source code for ROM Control V2 is here
Source code for included Kernel is here

FAQ:

Q: I have battery/charging issues
A1: See this;
A2: Disable AOD and reboot. Disable apps that you don`t use. Clean ram more often. If still having issues update bootloader, modem, reflash the rom/kernel or make a clean flash.
A3: Remember that this phone has only 1.2Ghz CPU and 2GB of ram and this is N7 rom. Don`t push it to its limits! When the phone is heating up it starts to throttle. So it will consume more battery, and charging will be limited to avoid extreme heating that will melt the soc..


Q: I have screen issues (funny colors-red, blue, green)
A: Go to Settings - Display - Screen mode and choose AMOLED Cinema


Q: GPS doesn`t work
A: Download this app, grant gps permission, go outside and let it search for location until you see 3D fix (maximum 20 minutes)

Q: Netflix doesn`t work
A: See this or this.

Q: CSC not found in the list
A: Choose "Default" and post here your missing csc code and folder and i will add it to the multidevice patch.

Q: Email is crashing
A: Go to Settings>Advanced features>Spen and turn off AirView and Direct pen input.

Q: How do i uninstall sound mod?
A: Reflash the rom (and patch) without wipes.

Q: Samsung Keyboard FC
A: Download languages only on wifi and don`t activate handwriting. If still have problems, clear app data.

Q: I have a black/transparent bar in Samsung Keyboard
A: Connect to wifi and download any languages, enable and disable predictions once, and that line will dissappear.

Q: What is v1-v2, v2.1
A: First release was v2.1 as original rom. Renamed to v1 in order to release my own v2. :)

Q: SetupWizard force closes
A: Flash latest kernel available here for your device. Make sure you flashed latest version of the rom.

Q: Loading...
A: Loading..

You need to wait a bit since aroma needs to load a 1.4GB installer.. Also, do you have the twrp indicated in first post?
some screenshot plz
i will add a bit later. Cheers!

You need to wipe because your system is different from the rom. Use the included wipe option - it won't wipe internal storage.
GPS is important for me so i go back to stock , most custom rom has gps issue so i will wait for gps fix after that will try the rom
Users report on telegram that gps works on F, FU and G... Also for me works, but i can't know for sure until more users provide feedback. You can try for yourself.. Cheers!
