[ROM][OneUI][Pie][KNOX][MAGISK][SM-J600G]

I simply took the Stock ROM, added some personal touches, and made it flashable via TWRP
- Based on Stock Pie U3 BL
This is JUST STOCK OneUI "OFFICIAL" for the J6, DO NOT EXPECT EXTRA FEATURES!

Also, I debloated it, however it can be debloated further if you wish.

BUT

I want to make something clear. If you have not read this and this allow me to summarize

Pie brings new locks to the table, something far worse than RMM lock. If you flash Pie officially, either via OTA or via Odin, these new locks MAY prevent you from rooting, as I understand it.
The workaround is to flash Pie but with Oreo BL.
HOWEVER
Samsung has easily made Pie only boot with Pie BL with a recent update containing the U4 bootloader version.
This ROM is confirmed to work on U4 BL:
Making it impossible users who upgraded to go back to official Oreo via Odin.

So... for now... DO NOT
UPLOAD YOUR BOOTLOADER TO PIE YET OR YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT OR FLASH CUSTOM BINARY ANYMORE!


And this is where this zip comes in handy!

This ZIP will not change your BL (it will keep your current) and included is a kernel (Helios Pie kernel) that fixes small issues. Also, if anything were to go wrong, you still have TWRP to backup and restore, how awesome is that? ;)

So, you have been warned!



Downloads:

Android File Host


Instructions:
-Create a backup (just in case)
-Wipe system and data
-Flash zip
-Reboot and wait 10 minutes

If after 10 minutes, it is still in logo, force a reboot (Hold VOL +, VOL - and POWER) and then the ROM will work

"Features":
- Official Pie!
- Most knox services working (SPass, Secure Folder, Samsung Health...)
For SPass, just go to Settings->Biometrics->Fingerprint and enable the toggles
- In theory, should not have major bugs
- Helios v3.1 Kernel
- Pre-rooted with Magisk
- Debloated


If you appreciate having Pie with a beautiful and awesome kernel please consider a donation to ananjaser1211, who was kind enough to compile Helios Pie kernel without even having the device!!!
