Hello, awesome ROM, phone is so much smoother compared to stock, but I have a big issue.

I cannot use Google Pay. I did try ro install fingerprint, Samsung safety fix, but nothing helps. Can I ask for help please? Thanks

This is an awesome rom thank you so much! My phone (Galaxy A50FN) runs better than when it was new! I was about to throw it away and get a new one but this rom brought it back to life! The fact that it receives updates is even more awesome!

The only "problem" with all these custom roms is that all the banking apps recognse the phone as rooted. So I can't use nfc payments. I don't know if there is a workaround to fix that.

Great work!

Bu harika bir rom çok teşekkür ederim! Telefonum (Galaxy A50FN) yeni olduğundan daha iyi çalışıyor! Onu atıp yenisini almak üzereydim ama bu rom onu hayata döndürdü! Güncellemeleri alması daha da harika!

Tüm bu özel rom'larla ilgili tek "sorun", tüm bankacılık uygulamalarının telefonu köklü olarak yeniden korumasıdır. Yani NFC ödemelerini kullanamıyorum. Bunu düzeltmek için geçici bir çözüm var mı bilmiyorum.

Harika iş çıkardın!
magisk hide. magisk app hide.

Hello everyone! Regarding nfc and apps detecting phone as rooted, i did all steps successfully with magisk hide props and hide app and safetynet passes from within magisk and external app. But apps still detect phone as rooted. I read that apps now read if bootloader is unlocked at a hardware level and there is no solution to that.

Any chance you've come across this? Any solutions?

For years I've been working with the Lineage OS. When they stopped I was lost for a little while, now I'm really happy to have found Fresh. Yesterday I ran into the first issue. It's a weird one. When Android introduced 'Format as internal' as the default, I didn't want it. I wanted to be able to unmount and use it in my PC's. I myself was quite surprised that this time I wanted tot format as internal. So if it is not there, I guess I understand why it is not. And maybe that option is only there if you want to encrypt the device for a more technical cause.

Nevertheless; did I miss something or is it not possible to create OneVolume with the FreshROM? :) many thanks for the development anyways and for the optional answer.

Just wondering but could it be possible to make this rom compatible with "Android for Work" / Work Profiles So we can use sandboxing apps like Insular, Island and Shelter?

Just installed the rom. Everything is working fine except I can't record videos or voice messages. Any app that tries it (camera app, voice recorder, instagram, twitter, whatsapp, etc.) freezes or crashes

Try clearing the data of the offending app as well as reinstall. Otherwise, the solution for your specific app may be present on other sources online.

Samsung never included Adoptable Storage on TouchWiz/Samsung Experience/One UI since its introduction on Android 6.0.


It may be possible to do it manually, but beware of issues you may experience down the line.

Just wondering but could it be possible to make this rom compatible with "Android for Work" / Work Profiles So we can use sandboxing apps like Insular, Island and Shelter?
A change done by Samsung on Android 11/One UI 3.1 makes "managed profiles" such as Work Profiles stop working and cause a crash on un-encrypted devices with a lock screen set up. This is the same issue Dual Messenger experiences (Dual Messenger is another "managed profile" in One UI).

Hey guys I need your help again.. i installed magisk & magisk hide in order to get my banking app to work but now i have another problem. I can't receive sms messages.. None! But i can send sms normally. Also 2 factor authentication notifications don't work either. As a result i can't login to most of the services i need.

- I tried uninstalling magisk
- wiping cache
-reset app permissions
- tried another sms app (Textra)

Nothing seems to do the trick. Any ideas?

Well I don't have a lock screen setup but I get this error while trying to create a work profile.

I really don't know if there's anything you can do about that though. I read somewhere the "system status" option has to be official and not custom for it to work.

You'll have to set up Work Profile by "force" through ADB.

    FAQ.png


    Q: What bootloader does this need?
    A: For the best experience, Fresh 4 recommends having a baseband version of CVAx, January 2022 and later. Installing on Android 10 will cause issues, and is not supported.

    Q: Do I need to flash anything after installing Fresh?
    A: There is no need! Fresh is already pre-patched. Simply flash all mods you need, as well as data recovery ZIPs (ie. data restore packages) and Reboot to System.

    Q: Does X feature work?

    A: Yes! Try it for yourself. 😉

    Q: How do I update my Fresh installation?
    A: It's very easy! Simply go to Settings, tap Software updates and update away.

    Q: Do you track my usage?
    A: Fresh's services include analytics from CloudFlare and Google Analytics in order to optimize them for future releases. No personally-identifiable information is sent to Fresh.

    Q: I have more questions

    A: Visit the Fresh Wiki here for more information on Fresh's features and more.​

    Please. Don't hope custom rom will be perfect like stock rom. The developer spend much time to build it, that is not easy. If you think this rom does not suitable for you, just leave it. I like this rom, if you felt a little lags I can except it because he combined and ported some apps from other Stock ROM to A50. Enjoy!
    i appreciate you.
    I am From INDIA and after installed this rom in my A50 mobile, it's working fine without facing any single problem.
    I clearly mention some bugs to rom developer and i am very sure that he will fix all bugs in next upcoming update.
    Currently not even a single rom developer doing this much effort on their rom but FreshRom developer build a great rom with a lots of flagship features.
    Dear Mr. Rom Developer, i completely support you for your fabulous work and i request you, please ignore some nonsense demands or comments and complete your work as you can do for our A50 mobile.
    I have an advice to everyone, if you guys cannot appreciate FreshRom developer, at least do not stop him at doing something good.
