[ROM][OneUI 3.1] NcX 3.1.2 [A715F][EOL]

[ShaDisNX255]

NcX 3.1 A71 ROM
​

This ROM is now EOL
Pretty straight forward, I took OneUI 3.1 firmware, debloated it and added a few features which can be found here: Link to MODs and also a few mods that can be found here: Link to Github mods (special thanks to @SkylinesHD for letting me use his XMLs with the mods already on them)
My plan is to make this the best version of OneUI 3.1 with more features and fixed things
Anyway, let's get started.

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!​

• Settings won't work on NcX 3.1.1 if you wipe. It will only work if you install NcX 3.1 first, then do the set up and open settings app. Then, reboot to recovery and install NcX 3.1.1. Settings should work after that. Fixed on NcX 3.1.2
• You tell me

• NcX 3.1.1 by ShaDisNX255.img.xz
• NcX 3.1 by ShaDisNX255.img.xz
• Multidisabler is uploaded on this thread

Prequisites​

• Updated to Android 11 (via OTA or Odin). I tried installing Android 11 super.img with boot.img but it didn't boot on Android 10, there's probably something in the bootloader that is required to update to run Samsung's OneUI 3.1 on the A71
• TWRP for Android 11 installed

Instructions!​

• Extract NcX ROM (in .xz format) with an unzip program and copy to internal or external SD card
• Reboot to TWRP
• Install extracted ROM as "super" image in TWRP
• Reboot to Recovery
• Format data if you are coming from Stock ROM.
• Flash multidisabler (this is required always)
• Flash Magisk zip (optional)
• Reboot and wait patiently

NcX 3.1 MODs
​

After publishing NcX, I made a few optional mods you can flash with Magisk to add a few more things. I'll try to explain a bit on what they do, enjoy.




FP Animation Changer

This mod changes well... the fingerprint reader animation. You have a green wave by default, this changes it to a gray wave, similar to the animation Samsung uses for their ultrasonic sensors
Screenshot:

Download: FP Animation Changer


FP Animation Changer (V2)

New version, changes both the fingerprint icon and the animation. They're personal favorites of mine, so you may or may not like them lol. If you flash this, it will replace the previous one if you already had it installed

Free Form Enabler:

Free form enabler makes the free form icon to appear on notification options, allowing you to open up a quick pop-up window on notifications to open them up

Screenshots:

Download: Free Form Enabler



Services MODs:

This has 2 mods.
1: Disables secure flag. This will allow you to take screenshots of protected apps
2: Changes animation speed from 1.0x to 0.8x. Developer options will still show 1.0x though.

FUN Mode enabler:

This module adds FUN mode to your camera side options. It's basically Snapchat filters but without having to download Snapchat lol

What TWRP did you use? What bootloader version do you have? Were you already on Android 11?

Try adb pull. MTP in TWRP won't let you move files bigger than 4 GB. Or add it before you do the procedure.

Yes. I tried to install before directly from NcX 2.5 but it would never boot. I had to update to Android 11 using Odin, install TWRP and then finally Install NcX 3.1 on TWRP.

Thank you so much, you are doing a great job

First of all, I need to admit that I've been waiting for a Lineage OS port, always been a big fan of Cyanogenmod/Lineage but it seems like nothing's really happening in that regard to that so I'm thinking of installing this ROM as a good alternative.

I have two questions
1. Does this ROM have WiFi calling built-in? Currently where I'm located I have hard time picking up the signal so WiFi calling is really needed
2. How debloaded is this ROM? To the core (what I wish for) or FB, Twitter etc... apps removed but all the Sumsung apps still there for health
3. Also how is debloading done, just disabling the apps like the some scripts on github do or actual apps get removed

Thanks ShaDisNX255 for your work
