    F.A.Q

    Q: How to root it?
    A: Grab Magisk from here.

    Q: Splash screen gets more and more greenish when I try to boot. Is that normal?
    A: Of course not. This means you're not on Marshmallow/Nougat bootloader & Modem. Flash any MM/NN stock ROM first before you flash this ROM.

    Q: ROM booted but there is no gallery, clock etc. Why did you removed it?
    A: I didn't, YOU debloated them in aroma installer. Reflash the ROM again without wiping data and this time don't debloat them.

    Q: There is no CSC folder in /system. How to add CSC features?
    A: This ROM is featured with OMC, a new multi CSC solution. Locate to /system/omc and add your features to customcsc.xml.

    Q: My GPS does not find my location. Any fix?
    A: Download GPS Test app from Google play, run it, go outside and wait 10 minutes.

    Q: Do I have to clean flash when there is a new update?
    A: No, flash it over a previous version is ok.

    Q: I enabled screen recorder in aroma but I can't find it in settings. How to run screen recorder?
    A: You can find it's settings in settings > advanced features > screen recorder. To start recording, pull down quick settings, search for Screen Capture tile, extend it and select screen recorder.

    Q: XYZ app does not work/force closes and I want create a log to help you. How can I create a logcat?
    A: I'm glad you'd like to help. Follow this xda tutorial or download any logcat app from Google Play.

    Q: Why still no Oreo or Pie port?
    A: Samsung won't update any MSM8916 device to Oreo/Pie anymore.

    Q: Why I can't enable 4G in second SIM?
    A: Galaxy MSM8916 modems don't support dual LTE.

    Q: I've enabled navigation bar but I don't like it. How can I remove it?
    A: Reflash the ROM select everything you did before except nav bar without wiping data.

    Q: Do I have to flash Galaxy A8 2018 mods, recoveries etc. when I use this ROM?
    A: NO! This ROM will not transform your Galaxy to an A8. Only flash mods, recoveries etc. meant for your device variant.
