RustRom


Information
I am not a rom developer I am just sharing two rom's i made using Superr Kitchen on Linux and ClassyKitchen on Windows. This isn't a perfect rom just something better than stock until a developer brings a new rom to this device.
Rom is a light version of Stock.
There are two versions Samsung and Google, More Info below.

Warning
I highly recommend making sure you have the files ready to restore stock rom.
I am not responsible for what happens to your device.
Flash at own risk.
Make sure you backup your data and current rom with TWRP.

Samsung Version
Added Aroma Installer With Magisk or SuperSU Root Choice and EFS Backup
Lots of apps removed
Debloated
Disabled RMM State
Disabled DM-Verity/ForceEncryption
De-Knoxed
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Changed Model number in build.prop so that theme store works (Themes work with Touchwiz launcher Only and just Icons and wallpaper and Lock screen icons and wallpaper)
Updated some apps
Changed messages app to Galaxy S7 one

Google Version
Important - Must go to setting - Apps - Default Apps - Calling app And choose Google phone.

Same as Samsung version but these changes

Swapped these Apps to Google ones
Phone (Dialer)
Messages
Contacts
Calculator
Callender
Browser (Chrome replaced Samsung Browser)
Clock
Launcher (LineageTrebuchet replaced Touchwiz)
Added Google and Google Wallpapers

Bugs

Choosing just Wallpapers in theme store don’t work (Can still change without SamsungTheme Store)

Pressing Bluetooth button in notification panel to see devices crashes UI but can just hold Bluetooth button to go to Bluetooth settings to see devices.

Installation
Backup Rom and your Data with TWRP
Highly recommend Backing up EFS in Aroma installer - Must choose safe format only!

Format Data
Make a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik)
Flash Rom and follow instructions
Reboot
First reboot can take 5 to 10 minutes

Remember
Must go to setting - Apps - Default Apps - Calling app And choose Google phone
For google version

Enjoy!

ChangeLog

V2 - Added Samsung Game launcher and game optimizing app to both versions.
There won't be anymore changes.
Only updates will be when Security update come out.

Tips
To enable game launcher go to Settings - Advanced - Games.

Let device sit for a few minutes after first boot so Google play store and play support libraries can update

I install DarkMode app from the playstore and all google apps have dark mode in settings and Galaxy Store and Themes store..

To add dialer on lock screen in google version go to Lock screen and security - App shortcuts - Left side - Choose Phone

To have icons from Samsung themes on google launcher version go to home settings choose default icons

the dialer is broken in the google version you can make calls but there s no call ui so you can't hang up and can't even answer phone calls because of the same issue, installing google dialer framework doesn't help. every thing is working fine on the samsung version tho other than that contexts fix.

You need to read the info about Google version in my post you just quoted.

Important - Must go to setting - Apps - Default Apps - Calling app And choose Google phone.

I tested it many times and it works fine if you do that step.
