Development [ROM][Port][OneUI5] NcX S21FE ROM [SM-A528B]

[heal3r]

DRC is disabled even in stock. At first it was thought to be enabled but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I'm glad that is the case. I can finally flash this without worries.

I installed the first step without problems, then it reboots in to twrp again and I flash the same zip file again and it says step 1 again... Idk what to do now.
this is my first root/rom install btw

There are 2 possible reasons why this could be happening

1) Your phone is rebooting to recovery without completely installing the step 1. This usually happens when you let the screen sleep when it's installing a large ROM like this. It's been a bug with TWRP for a few devices I've seen idk what causes it. You can either keep tapping the screen so that it doesn't sleep during the installation or mess with the options to keep the screen on

2) Your /data partition is encrypted for some reason and you'll probably have to format data before installing the ROM

While connected to a PC, use the following keys:

To boot to recovery: Power and VOL+
To boot to download mode: VOL- and VOL+

Idk why it still boots to twrp with Power + vol+ (I also tried the other combination)
I need to delete twrp, or get into the samsung boot menu where I can select to boot the custom rom
Do I need to lock bootloader after installing the custom rom?

Do I need to lock bootloader after installing the custom rom?

No

 

[EEdera]

No

Hmm, idk then. There is a menu where you can select what you want to boot.
Did you also have that issue that it boots twrp after installing the rom?

Hi, I have (on fresh android 13 form odin) NcX from December + mck kernel + bt patch
I have paired samsung trio 500 bt keyboard and after pairing it's like no input from keyboard.

Keyboard works fine on different devices and even when pairing on 528b(there's always some random code to enter on keyboard and press enter to establish connection), but after that not single button works.

device is pairing fine from "smart things" notification, but trying pairing it normal works after 3 time (cannot connect message)
sometimes there's also duplicated bt device "Smart KBD trio 500"

Other bluetooth keyboard (not so "smart" as samsung's one; china's random) works fine with this soft and i can type, change volume etc.

I've not observed bt problems with any other devices on this soft, maybe is there something blocking/not allowing input? Have you got any ideas?

Will DeX work over an HDMI cable?

Hi ShaDisNX255,
first of all I would like to thank you very much for your ROM.

I'm using it since several days and everything is going smooth ( Call in / out, Camera, Skype, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Chrome, GMail, USB-OTG with exteernal HDD, MIcro-SD card ).

I'm not a phone heavy user but for my day-to-day operations, your ROM it's perfect.

I really have enjoined your ULTRADEBLOAT option during installation that provides a final OS super light and snappy, leaving to the user the chance to download the appropriate apps only instead of such a mess of Samsung pre-installed apps ( most of them useless and crappy.....)

And again, this is very appreciated !

Said that, I have some questions for your kind attention :

1- I have not yet tried any bank apps and before to install them, I would like to ask if you know about any possible matters ( e.g. SafetyNet or others )

2- If this is the case, I read something about MagiskHide module capable to bypass SafetyNet checking. Is that correct ?

3- I have seen you have shared a custom kernel a Mesa's Custom Kernel T R4 as well.
Can you kindly explain what can I do with a custom kernel ? ( sorry for that noob question but I'm not yet so skilled about Android development )

4- Are you planning to share further updates of this ROM and/or any kind of new ROM in the near future ?

5- I'm thinking about buying a Galaxy S8+ TAB. Are you planning to do something fot this device as well ?


Many thanks for your replies and all the best
Max

1- I have not yet tried any bank apps and before to install them, I would like to ask if you know about any possible matters ( e.g. SafetyNet or others )

I know different bank apps have different methods of detection but it's possible to pass SafetyNet for now

2- If this is the case, I read something about MagiskHide module capable to bypass SafetyNet checking. Is that correct ?

Yes, just look up Universal SafetyNet Fix

3- I have seen you have shared a custom kernel a Mesa's Custom Kernel T R4 as well.
Can you kindly explain what can I do with a custom kernel ? ( sorry for that noob question but I'm not yet so skilled about Android development )

Better battery management and slightly better performance

4- Are you planning to share further updates of this ROM and/or any kind of new ROM in the near future ?

Yes, I'm working on a January update right now

5- I'm thinking about buying a Galaxy S8+ TAB. Are you planning to do something fot this device as well ?

No

 

[Jack Droid]

Many thanks for your replies and just checking for Universal SafetyNet fix.

About custom kernel, I have just now seen that it is not your release but from another member..............oooops...........sorry !

Thanks and waiting for your January update.


All the best
Max

 

[Jack Droid]

Just for confirmation, after flashing your ROM the OS is not rooted isn't it ?

If so, in order to root works, I need to apply Magisk. Is it correct ?

 

[zero89]

@Jack Droid
of you have any bank app that need to hide, apply zygisk, hide the app from the magisk menu and apply this module:
