Okay ... I just installed it on an A710M
First N0tAvailable unlocks me on the Telegram

And now I can talk a little ... The ROM is super fluid, it may be the most fluid ROM of the A7 2016
And I did not find bugs, everything works very well
The only problem is that the Blue Light Filter does not work, you activate it and nothing happens.
Other than this, everything is perfect.
Thank you!

EDIT: now I found Bugs, WhatsApp and Telegram do not work to listen to audios or record audio, YouTube does not play any video

 

[NatSki]

Tested on J700H it is great slim and fast smooth af but there are some issue i encountered
- Blue light filter not working (not a big deal)
-Offline Charging
but overall this ROM is great thanks for this :laugh:

Hi Devs! Thank you very much for keeping my device alive! You are the only ones that continue stock-like development for A-series.
I have just installed your ROM on my SM-A510F, everything is working fine. Already rooted with latest Magisk Canary - all good! I have to say that this ROM is perfectly debloated. I have turned off chrome (it's creating many different issues while using YTV) and set Android WebView as default webview implementation.
There are 3 things I'd like to ask/suggest:
First thing is adding file manager to the installer (if it's possible - mixplorer), it's hard to restore stuff without it.
Second thing is to restore buttons light (I saw that it's already discussed)
Third is to enable native call recording, I'll try to do it myself but is the cscfeature.xml coded somehow?

As in your description, I had one random reboot and also have the red warning during boot that "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" but it is not a problem for me. In system info it's showing "enforcing" is it just a fake? And is it possible to change it to "permissive"? It gives a lot of possibilities to change things

I have noticed that there are many samsung apps available in Playstore - that's good if someone would like to have something more than the base (I think that they have to be unlocked somehow because I can't remember having them before).

Thank you very much!
Cheers

Hi,i have just installed on 510f . Very smooth but some app crush and can't use it (MS Outlook, SwiftKey, DuckDuckGo)

 

[n0tavailable]

Why did you remove a310 support

if the tests go well, then it will be implemented in the next update

Rom is nice, smooth and great Performance.

Tested on A510FD

In Next updates please?

Thanks for the feedback
"In case anyone were wondering why I completely disabled native blur.
The reason is that I don't think you should force Native Blur for such an old device that doesn't support this feature very well.
If you like it anyway, you'll have to look for something else. Maybe in upcoming updates, as a free choice, but don't think so."
about EdgeScreen, I'm probably implement that

Hi guys!
Just FYI, if someone would like to use substratum, you will notice that it is not available in Playstore anymore (or shown as device incompatible). What you have to do is download substratum theme engine 1015 from apkmirror and install it, then install sungstratum from Playstore, and your favorite theme. And finally You're good to go!
With swift black working just fine.

Cheers
