Wow. Thanks for this update man.

My country is not available on this firmware's csc (xtc) I was wondering do I only need to copy this rom's csc features to the stock one or are there any other file that needs to be copied too? I want to flash the stock csc using odin because there was an app (I honestly forgot) that keeps nagging me it's not available in my country. Also another the benefit of it is having the Chat features of stock messages, but I don't want to lose the roms features.

I have tried (working chat features and rom features), but I just want to make sure I'm doing it right. Anyways thank you again so much !

My ROM installation method will not replace your CSC but only edit it.
It's got a script built in to unencrypt and add csc feature lines. It will also delete any .apk file it finds inside csc so I don't know if your csc has that app you want or if it only allows you to download it from Playstore
If you still want to do this manually, you can check my github all the CSC lines I have scripted to be added on CSC so you can take a look:

You're not wrong, but it defaults to XEO after installing it because there's no XTC available in the firmware.

I'll try to check on it later. Thanks man.

After weeks of being busy and new developments happening, I should be able to finally release the September build this week

The changelog so far in September is the following:
- Portrait mode on stock camera should be fixed
- Attempt to fix wide angle camera on Pro video/camera mode, I don't remember if this is available in stock
- Advanced Reboot Menu, allow you to add things like "Reboot to recovery" or "Reboot to Download Mode" to your power menu
- Permanent fix for camera. No more need for Magisk module (permanent as long as you stay in my ROM or keep my vendor, of course)
- Fix for Samsung Health. You will no longer need to download any patched version, you will be able to just download the app from Galaxy Store
- Added Screenshot and VoLTE buttons in quick settings [CSC features, make sure to install them when asked in installer]

And I think overall stability. I'm still on testing phase but hopefully a release should be available this week
Thanks for being patient

So after testing a bit, unfortunately there are 2 fixes that didn't work

- Attempt to fix wide angle camera on Pro video/camera mode, I don't remember if this is available in stock
Comment: Looks like it's still broken. Will try to fix it before release but if I can't then this will remain as a bug

- Permanent fix for camera. No more need for Magisk module (permanent as long as you stay in my ROM or keep my vendor, of course)
Comment: It looks like this doesn't work on my testing but it did when I first added it. It looks like I'm still going to have to depend on a Magisk Module to fix camera

Still trying my best to fix the first. Also, the screenshot and volte buttons will no longer be CSC features, they will be included in the SystemUI by default so you won't have to worry about installing CSC features just to get them.




EDIT: Ok so today's status is:
- Portrait mode on stock camera should be fixed
- Attempt to fix wide angle camera on Pro video/camera mode, I don't remember if this is available in stock
Comment: It's not available in stock, so removed it. Ultra wide is not available now in Pro Video mode to avoid this bug
- Advanced Reboot Menu, allow you to add things like "Reboot to recovery" or "Reboot to Download Mode" to your power menu
- Permanent fix for camera. No more need for Magisk module (permanent as long as you stay in my ROM or keep my vendor, of course)
Comment: As mentioned previously, this didn't work so I'm sticking to a modified Magisk Module to fix camera for now
- Fix for Samsung Health. You will no longer need to download any patched version, you will be able to just download the app from Galaxy Store
- Added Screenshot and VoLTE buttons in quick settings
- NEW: Fixed switching cameras while recording (no longer bugged, previously it would be showing upside down)

I installed the sept release today and all is working well. Thanks to you fewer magisk modules are needed, which is good. One thing I thought of while going through the installation process is would using the aroma installer eliminate the two step installation that is currently the way to install the rom? Just a thought that it would make it a one step installation...

Well unfortunately it seems Aroma installer doesn't work for our device. In fact, it doesn't seem to work on any Snapdragon device I've tried but apparently it works fine on Exynos devices. Simplifying the installation process is already in the works for the next update now that you mention it. Last time I tried it wasn't feasible to unmount -> install img and then re-mount -> make edits, there needed to be a forced reboot to recovery. But I'll see if the Dynamic Installer dev has managed to do anything about it.

I was afraid it was something like not being compatible with our device or on snapdragon phones. The two step is okay as it is with your rom though, as I thought being able to install in one step would be good and the ability to choose what features would be wanted by touch a bit easier... thanks for the answer... and the rom. I like it!

Once again, I am having trouble downloading the ROM. Would you be able to add a mirror link to the Android File Host please?
Thanks,

I installed the September 2022 release, all is good and working well. Thank you.

Additionally, visually following this youtube video,


the missing OEM Unlocking in Developer options is now visible too. Credits to youtube publisher Urdu Arena and to the respective Author of this video.

I still don't understand why the need to add it at this point. You've already installed a custom O.S. there's no more need for it.
In fact, making it visible just increases the risk of accidentally pressing it and locking yourself out of the device.

In order to try out other custom ROMs, I had to go back and install stock ROM as the base (for a clean install), hence I wanted to make sure OEM Unlocking was enabled.

1- Before i flash the RayOS S21FE Port, which stock firmware version shall be installed my A52s ... currently the installed one is Android11 A528BXXU1AUK4
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Honestly I'd try updating to something more recent (OneUI 4.1 at the very least). Heck I recommend updating to the most recent firmware with Odin and then installing the ROM

2- Any way to install MicroG on RayOS S21FE Port?

I've never tried MicroG, maybe someone else can comment on this
