[ROM][Full OneUI][10] TotsukaOS Q for Galaxy M21

[soulr344]

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.

Some personal thoughts:
- you should read at least install instructions stated in this post - i won`t offer support for any issues regarding installation;
- press 'Like' button instead of saying thanks - it will keep the thread clean and keep me motivated to do more;
- if you take any of my work without my permission(files, flashing method, fixes or anything else) you'll be reported, and most likely it'll be taken down.

Installation Steps (Important):

• Install latest TWRP for M21 from here and follow all instructions there. Please note that any other TWRP versions will NOT work.
• Download ROM zip and repartition zip and push it to your device/ext sdcard.
• Boot to TWRP.
• Flash repartition zip and reboot to TWRP again. ( you might get failed to mount XXX partition error after reboot but they can be ignored )
• Do a clean wipe (data, cache, dalvik/art).
• Format data if you're coming from stock and didn't flash TWRP before.
• Flash the rom zip through TWRP and select desired options in AROMA installer.
• If the installer warns about not being able to apply CSC tweaks, report that to support group along with your region.
• Flash magisk 21.2+ after setting up your device to root.

I am having problems with this ROM. Frequent non-causal reboots, NFC does not work, record pro video does not work

Completely unrelated but in the telegram channel, a havoc os gsi for m21 was posted and I have it flashed on my phone. But the corners get rounded so much that clock and other stuff isn't visible. Any fix for that? Here's an image for that...

First true Custom ROM for Galaxy M21, can't thank you enough for full OneUI experience, I hate that on Core Version clipboard is no where to be found.

Downlading and flashing it in a moment.

What's different between full oneui and stock UI ?

What's different between full oneui and stock UI ?

OneUI Core is a lighter version of OneUI, it doesn't come with some of the functions that are on mid-range and high-range products.

Alright I got some problems shortly after initial setup.

• NFC is not working. I cannot find settings for it, it shows as enabled in Quick Bar, after long pressing it Settings app crashes
• App Lock. After pressing it, settings crashes
• Can't pass basicIntegrity as well as ctsProfile in Magisk. (FIXED: Forgot to enable MagiskHide, disregard this problem.)

I'm using SM-M215F with XEO region. How do I get NFC and App Lock to work?

Help really appreciated!

well yeah, I don't have NFC support on my M21 so i couldn't check whether it works., also forgot to mention it in bugs applock here and on all supported CSCs works flawlessly, so i don't get your issue there. Also safetynet fix breaks lockscreen(you cant set lockscreen pattern and such) so you need to flash a fix that'll revert the safetynet fix which will make lockscreen working again

Hmmm is there a way to change my CSC to other one? I remember getting this option on other OneUI based Custom ROMs, maybe that would make it work.
About SafetyNet, I'm not expirencing any problems with Lock Screen it passes basicIntegrity and ctsProfile with MagiskHide enabled, and Lock Screen still works fine.
If you want me to send something regarding NFC, let me know I'm more than happy to help out with it. In terms of overall usage, it's a good ROM, those two are the only problems I encountered so far.

Here's working Lock Screen options with SafetyNet
