Hmmmm that's very strange. It seems you've completed most if not all the instructions on point and still aren't booting the ROM. I wish I could be of more help, I guess my best advice would be to re-do the instructions 1 by 1, maybe you'll see something different you didn't see before. You could also join our Telegram group, maybe someone there knows something I could have missed or went through something similar.
just installed this rom this morning, so far performing well. just need a kernel and we're golden. also, how do I remove the power button from the notification panel? is it in floating_features? Also how do I remove the wide selfie from /system/cameradata? My phone gets stuck in a boot loop

I managed to flash the NcX v2.5.2, disable encryption and magisk without a problem. My only problem is that I notice after rebooting and running magisk manager, I keep failing the safetynet test. I passed the basicintegrity but failed the ctsProfile test. It also keep showing error message of "evalType Hardware". I did have Magisk Hide enabled but still gets the error.
Is this a known problem with this Rom? I am currently using Magisk 21.1zip flash supposedly the latest Manager v8.0.3 from https://magisk.me/. But I noticed from reading the latest posts above, the recommended Magisk for root is the canary build. Can someone provide me the flash zip link for canary build? I cannot find it on magisk.me website. Also, has anyone notice Safetynet working once using Magisk canary build? Thanks for the awesome custom rom.

No rubbish samsung bloatware in this, is there.
I have stock rooted and not done a rom install on my A71 as yet, but this is tempting.
Thank you

With my old andriod device, whenever i did a trwp backup, the partitions involved were just simply system, boot, modem and data. now with andriod 10, I see so many extra partitions. I am confused. Which are the essential partitions to backup for this rom? Do I backup boot, modem, data, efs, optics, prism and super? If all the partitions need to be backup, then the final file size will be too big for my sd card. Could someone give me some pointer on this matter.
I try to search for answers online but most info are outdated and applicable for older devices. Besides, when I go on Twrp backup, I don't even see "system" as an option for backup. I guess it is because this rom is flashed using "super" img file over the system partition. So technically just backing up super, boot, and data partitions should suffice, correct?
Thanks in advance for any tip.

Okay so I got it running after updating to a U3 bootloader. It now runs normal.
There's a Magisk module called "Bluetooth library patcher" which fixes this issue. Apparently, its a common problem with rooted Samsung devices.
Thank you, but if I'm not wrong, with UI 2.1 I hadn't this problem. Anyway I will try the module.
Would love to have this, I will wait for camera issue to be resolved.
Unless it has already been corrected.
Best wishes

I was only informed of camera issues when someone flashed the ROM when they were on OneUI 2.0. After they upgraded to U3 bootloader (One UI 2.1 or 2.5) this problem was gone. Try it, it may fix it.
My camera is broken and i was already on oneui 2.5 / U3 i try everything nothing to do im too bad for fixing it :')
Sorry, I wish I knew how to fix it. Since the problem doesn't happen to me, there's no way of knowing how to fix it :/
Great work and thanks for the Rom, installed today and so far so good. It's great to have TWRP too.
Ok, everything worked out. Got it installed. I didn't install 2.5 first.
I haven't found any problems so far on the ROM. I will test more tomorrow. However, if you were to update in the future, is it possible to shut off "Emergency Alerts?" These are the annoying alerts we get about missing people in the middle of the night.
Thanks.

5NcX 2.5 A71 ROMPretty straight forward, I took OneUI 2.5 firmware, debloated it and added a few features which can be found here: Link to MODs
My plan is to make this the best version of OneUI 2.5 with more features and fixed things(my mission is to fix Secure Folder in the near future)Fixed
Anyway, let's get started.
Code:Your warranty is now void. * We are 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 flashing this ROM * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if * you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. HARD!

Bugs!Secure Folder broken (will try to fix later)Fixed on 2.5.1Samsung Pass broken (because of knox 0x1, duh)Removed from ROM, it will never work.Bug with AOD brightness when you use fingerprint unlock method. This bug happens when you have AOD to always show. If AOD is showing, then you turn the screen on to only show lockscreen clock and then turn the screen off for AOD to show, the brightness of AOD will reduce to the most minimal and it will be hard to see, regardless of what brightness you set up. There are 2 ways to getting rid of this bug:Fixed, clock animation removed.
- Disable unlocking phone with fingerprint
- Unlocking your phone and then locking it again. This will only fix it until you trigger the bug again
- You tell me

Links!PrequisitesMANDATORY ALWAYS: SD Card. It IS possible to have it on internal storage but ONLY if you are not encrypted. If you are encrypted, then you will need to FORMAT DATA and that will delete everything in your internal storage and you won't be able to add it back to internal storage with TWRP because MTP is broken.For installing 2.5.1/2.5.2:
- Installing and following NcX 2.5 installation steps, as well as its prequesites
- TWRP Installed (included in NcX 2.5)
- Download multidisabler.zip (link: From Telegram Group (also attached on this thread) and add to SD Card or internal storage
- Download Magisk zip installer to your SD Card or internal storage
For installing 2.5:
Instructions!For installing 2.5.1/2.5.2:
- Reboot to TWRP
- Flash NcX 2.5.1.img or NcX 2.5.2 as "super" image in TWRP
- Reboot to Recovery
- Format data if you are coming from Stock ROM. If you are coming from NcX 2.5 then you don't need to wipe or format, you can just skip this step.
- Flash multidisabler (this is required always)
- Flash Magisk zip (optional)
- Reboot and wait patiently

Last Updated 2020-10-0822How to report a bug/Ask for a change
Over the small amount of time I've been doing my edits and shared them with the community, I've noticed something that seems to irritate me. I can't speak for all the developers on this forum, but I do edits/ROMs/PORTs/etc... to what I like. I don't work for anybody else but me. I share my work because it may have something of value to other people and/or some people may share the same taste as me on regards to what they want on a ROM.
That being said, that doesn't mean I will completely ignore what the community has to say.
First and foremost, it must be said, I am merely a beginner. I do not claim to be a professional developer that knows how to add everything, I am nowhere close and I learn as I go.
There are ways to ask for something and/or report a bug when it comes to ROMs, and this post is my attempt to try to explain how to (and how not to) report a bug in order to help me out as much as possible to try to fix something
You can also ask for something to be added, but there are also ways to ask for something
So, here we go
Keep in mind:
- I do not add stuff that can easily be downloaded from the Playstore
- I, myself, don't do kernel edits
- I COULD remove stuff if NOBODY uses it
---REPORTING BUGS---
How NOT to report a bug:
- "SystemUI (or any app)is crashing, please help!"
- "Instagram doesn't allow me to edit my post, what could be wrong?"
- "My bank account app is not letting me do such thing"
A slightly better way to report a bug:
- "I clean installed the ROM and was working fine, after I installed Facebook and logged in, I immediately uploaded a photo and SystemUI started to crash. Can you look in to it?"
- "I tried to install Black Neon theme (a link to it would work as well) and it was working fine until I tried to activate AOD (or anything else for some reason) and SystemUI (or any other app) is crashing, could you look in to it?"
- "My bank account app doesn't let me take a screenshot of my accounts. I get a toast notification saying "Can't take screenshot due to security policy"
The BEST way to report a bug:
- LOGCAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
---ASKING FOR STUFF TO BE ADDED---
How NOT to ask for stuff:
- On your next update, add iris scanner
- You should add (app) on your next update
- Hey, please add (app or feature) on your next update
How to ask for stuff to be added to my work:
- Would you be so kind to add (feature) to your ROM, if possible?
- Would it be possible to add this app to your ROM?
- Please, can you add (feature) to your ROM, if it isn't much to ask?
I hope this is useful to you or I at least hope that some people read it.
If not, I can just tell you to return to stock ROM, probably better than any ROM I put out anyway
