• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

Special Notes:
1. Flash via TWRP. (Remember to wipe data and cache)
2. This ROM turns off force encryption. If you are in encrypted ROM(full stock ROM for example), (you'd better) format /data(includes internal storage) first.
3. Users of my Note 7 port should be able to dirty flash this ROM. (but better wipe data and cache)
4. Built-in CSC: Europe

Frequently asked questions:

Q: Why "OEM Unlock" option is no longer available? or Why I could not turn on "OEM Unlock"?
A: By disabling "OEM Unlock", you could no longer boot your phone and you must flash stock ROM via Odin to recover(what will format all your data including those in internal storage). To prevent users from mistakely disable "OEM Unlock", I made this option non-funtional.

Q: Why some apps such as Facebook FC(force close) sometimes?
A: Some apps are not compatiable with Android N. Also several changes to runtime made by Samsung(not me) lead to some compatibility problems.(what makes those N-compatiable apps not compatiable with Samsung one)
Solution?
Contact app developers to complain about this. I could do nothing about this.

Q: Why Gear VR and theme store is not available?
A: Gear VR and theme store is not available on N for now.
Solution?
Contact Samsung to complain about this. They blocked the access.

Q; Why I could not pass Safetynet check? or Why I could not play Pokemon GO?
A: Samsung introduced some new security measures in new bootloader.
Solution?
No for now. I need more time to deal with that. Also i think all of you should read an article about Safetynet written by Chainfire.

Q: Should I flash N bootloader(BL) and modem/baseband(CP) before flash this ROM?
A: You don't need to because you could boot N-based ROMs on old BL/CP but i recommend you to upgrade BL/CP to latest version.
Note: Do not upgrade BL if you want to play Pokemon GO.
