Development [ROM][Port][OneUI5] NcX S21FE ROM [SM-A525G/F]
- Thread starter ShaDisNX255
- Start date
Announcement:
Do not update to the official February security patch if you want to continue using this ROM.
Samsung bumped the bootloader version and NcX will not work due to BL version missmatch and you will not be able to downgrade to January security patch as well!
NcX will not update to February security patch. S21FE firmware is already in OneUI 5.1 so NcX will only update after this device gets OneUI 5.1 officially.
You have been warned.

Hello, Found this rom after 4.1 port. Have couple of questions 
On the other port my devices were disconnecting so had to factory reset galaxy watch. Previous rom didn't pass SafetyNet no banking apps, and does dex work? I read some people saying it didn't. Thank you!
I didn't understand the announcement, have the February security patch, so do I have to wait to install the rom or is there a workaround?
Thank you for the beautiful rom

You cant install the rom atm if you have the February patch + you need the Bluetooth library patcher module to fix your issueHello, Found this rom after 4.1 port. Have couple of questions

I had the January patch and I successfully did it, so I guess you can too.
I have the stock march security patch. Can I install the ROM now? Also, can I not go back to the stock ROM if the installation fails via Odin?
Yes, you should be able to install NcX March update
Yes, you can go back to stock March update if anything goes wrong
Are there any camera improvements over the stock rom ? And is this worth installing over the stock tom overall ?
Hello, If i'm in Stock'Jan security patch which its OneUI 5.0, Can i flash over March' release of this rom?
You definitely would need to update your whole phone to stock before even flashing NcX

5Update: Hey guys, I know I usually don't give updates on stuff that's WIP but I just had to let you guys know. I'm very excited to announce that I've been working with some super awesome pro devs and we're almost ready to launch OTA update support to NcX ROM
Testing's been looking great, only a few details to fix but they're completely functional at this stage and will be appearing in the next big NcX update.
Stay tuned!2
It'll be similar to Samsung's OTA updates. Of course you'll be able to just update that way without wiping anything or fully flashing stock firmware but you'll always get better performance off a newly wiped phone111
That's not a question about this rom in particular. Try asking the same thing in r/OneUI -
11NcX S21FE Port for Samsung Galaxy A52Updated to OneUI 5. This is the successor to RayOS. Wanted a different name/logo for the OneUI 5 version, so enjoy!
Code:* Warning, 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!
