Development [ROM][PORT][OneUI4.1] RayOS S21FE Port for Galaxy A52 [SM-A525G/F]

[thatdevsherry]

Does anyone have problems with their Galaxy A52 randomly touching in pocket?

This seems to be a hardware issue rather than software. Although I don't remember having it often in the stock rom.

I'm currently testing out pixel experience (which doesn't have any touch protection), but was using RayOS May build previously, and it somehow was able to start playing music in my pocket.

I had DT2W disabled, and only the fingerprint was always active. I remember sometimes being sweaty, and when I took my phone out the fingerprint was disabled because of too many attempts.

Is this something we can fix from the software side? Like tweaking the proximity sensor config to make the touch protection more strict.

I'm currently staying on pixel experience because samsung's "accidental touch protection" still causes touch issues for me.

Thank you for working on this ROM.

I've had this problem too and rather than trying to look through the firmware for any value to change regarding the proximity sensor I just flip my screen towards the outside of my pocket rather than touching my leg. It's much easier in the end and saves me countless hours trying to figure out how Samsung determines their touch protection

I just started doing this recently out of frustration xD

well guess this is the only way to mitigate the issue.

Thank you for the info

Sources!​

I decided to show my work so to speak on GitHub. You can see the list of all the apps I removed and all the lines that were added to camera and floating features. Feel free to take a look and make pull requests if you want me to add something on potential future releases.

• ROM source: GitHub
• Kernel source: Samsung Open Source

Bugs!​

• I included the March kernel in the installer. This is causing some problems with AOD. If you have this problem, install a custom kernel like riseKernel and you should be good. This is an interesting bug. Found out this bug only happens when you install any stock kernels from February and onward without flashing the whole firmware. It seems Samsung added changes to AOD outside of kernel and system. The reason riseKernel works in this case is because it's based on OneUI 4.0 (January) and does not depend on the extra changes Samsung added. So if you're facing this problem with stock kernel, either fully update your phone via Odin (Feb or March patch) or just install riseKernel

Not possible

 

[Alex2233]

Not possible

I don't have a Galaxy A33, I can't help you.

 

[AltugGND]

Great rom thank u so much dude

 

[AltugGND]

No updates soon.

Will there be any more updates?

 

[ShaDisNX255]

Will there be any more updates?

Maybe, not entirely sure.

 

[ShaDisNX255]

Sorry if I've been late on updates, been real busy lately.
Just wanted to confirm that yes, August update is in the works
My goal is to fix Single take and Gallery remaster in Gallery (been making great progress on both)
I don't have an ETA but rest assured this is my priority so far
Hopefully I can have it done soon

 

[vxxxxx15]

Hey, do you think I could flash this with TWRP?

 

[ShaDisNX255]

Hey, do you think I could flash this with TWRP?

Well, yeah that's the only way you can flash it

 

[vxxxxx15]

Well, yeah that's the only way you can flash it

what's orangefox then?

 

[ShaDisNX255]

what's orangefox then?

Orangefox was recommended over TWRP because of compatibility with the CSC features code. But, it's been fixed now, so TWRP can be used too.
Will edit the OP
Thanks

 

[ShaDisNX255]

August update is up guys, along with a bunch of new fixes. Check OP for details

 

[KszKristof]

Hi,
First of all, thanks for creating this ROM, I've been daily driving it since its first release and I love it
But I have a bug in the August version that is kind of weird, I think it's a problem with the AOD animation but I'm not sure.
Basically, if AOD (or show charging info) is enabled, a few seconds after the screen turns off, the screen is kinda blown up and it's green with some pixels having other colours. However if I press the power button or touch the fingerprint sensor, it returns to normal!
Here's a video of it happening: https://upload.disroot.org/r/hu69M2tp#qmzRZ3BxZMweDA3CPgjwyqYDoaPHV3eFiDhoJYMiR/s=
In the meantime, I'm going to try and downgrade to the July version and see if that fixes it or not.
Also, I only installed Magisk after upgrading from the July version and I didn't have the FOD animation enabled, I only chose it with this update.

Quick update: I installed the 2022.08.11 SixTeen kernel and the issue seems to be resolved now...? I think it's an issue with the August kernel

Usually it's incompatibility with stock kernel. If you update to August patch fully with Odin (stock) and then immediately flash the ROM with August kernel, the problem should not occur. And an alternative, as you confirmed, is just use a custom kernel.
