Hello XDA.
Welcome to seeARMS' JL2-based custom ROM. The essential purpose of this ROM is to provide a fast, functional ROM for those who are wishing to run JL2. Basically every other custom ROM out there is a variant of JPY, and that's great, but what about those seeking a different base? I chose JL2 because frankly I wanted to stick to a firmware which my provider, Bell, has actually released, not an unofficial ROM created by Samsung.
This is a ROM which aims to be fast without sacrificing any necessary features or software, as well as similar to stock firmware but without all the bloatware Samsung has included. This ROM includes many tweaks and bug fixes which creates a high-performance phone with a long lasting battery.
It's also running the newest Bell firmware, UGJL2 (Froyo v2.2). This allows us Canadian users (which seem to get ignored quite often - no other JL2 custom ROMs!?) to have our precious 850MHz band back, while sticking with an officially released ROM base.
If you have any questions prior, while, or after installing this ROM, please read the first few posts, as I'll try to address every possible (major) problem which can occur. If, after reading the posts, you are still encountering a problem, please reply to this thread being as detailed as possible. This allows me to fix problems quickly and easily. Also, I encourage you to post your opinions and comments; it's a beta, and as such, I'll be improving the ROM in future releases.
Note: Please don't complain about Quadrant, Linpack, or any other pointless benchmark scores. If you've used the ROM and it's sluggish, by all means tell me, but don't base your opinion of the speed merely on a benchmark.
Okay, so what else?

Installation Instructions
REQUIREMENTS
-NO lagfix enabled (Can typically be disabled by booting into recovery and selecting "Disable Lagfix")
-A Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (or its variants, i9000M, etc)
-Recovery 2e (that comes with 2.1) or Clockworkmod Recovery
If you're running recovery 3e, please read the first question in the FAQ
-If you wish, a backup is also very helpful in case anything goes wrong. This ROM does contain bugs (just like any ROM), so I really recommend backing up your data.
Please note: the "wipe" version of this rom will wipe all your data. It will not, however, format your internal or external SD cards. This means you'll lose apps and settings, but not music, movies, etc.
Lastly, I recommend performing a factory reset after installing any new rom (but I'm just paranoid like that).
NOTE: If you have a Bell i9000M, do the following to (hopefully) prevent your internal SD card from dying:
1. Upgrade to JL2 using either Kies (recommended) or Odin (make sure to check Bootloader Update).
2. After the upgrade, download and flash Super Optimized Kernel, which will give you access to ClockworkMod Recovery. Instructions to do so can be found in the FAQs (Q1).
(More information regarding the internal SD card dying can be found in Q2 in the FAQ)
To install this ROM:
1. Download and extract the file you downloaded above to the root of your internal SD card (both the "seearms" folder and the .ZIP ROM file).
If you would like to customize your install, continue doing step 2. If you would like a stock install with all the applications + SpeedMod kernel + JL2 modem + Generation X theme, skip to step 3 (however I'd recommend customizing your install. )
2a. Browse to the "seearms/kernel" folder on your SD card and delete whichever kernel you do not want to install.
2b. Do the same with the "seearms/modem" folder: delete whichever one you don't want to install (I'd recommend installing the JL2 modem unless you've specifically had problems with it).
2c. Do the same with the "seearms/applications" folder: delete whichever applications you do not use. You're allowed to delete all of them to create a slim install, or delete none to create a stock install.
2d. Browse to the "seearms/extra" folder on your SD card, and delete whichever extras you do not wish to install (You're able to choose the Generation X theme, blue Android Market, custom boot animations, etc). Most importantly, if you would like the ROM to wipe your data, leave "wipe" untouched. If you don't want it to format your data, delete "wipe".
2e. So, before going further, you should have the following folder structure on your SD card:
"seeARMS.UGJL2.v0.4.zip" - anywhere on your SD card, doesn't matter
"seearms/extra" - customized to your liking
"seearms/applications" - customized to your liking
And a single file in both of these folders, depending on the kernel and modem you wish to install:
"seearms/kernel"
"seearms/modem"
3. Boot into recovery, and select "Install zip from sdcard".
4. Select "Choose zip from sdcard", and scroll to the ROM.
5. Select OK, and wait for the file to flash.
6. Reboot. This reboot will take a while (upwards of 2-5 minutes), so be patient and don't shut off your phone!
Congratulations, you've successfully flashed!
After it boots, I'd recommend doing a few things in order to allow your phone to be as quick as possible:
1. Boot back into recovery, select "Advanced ULK Features". Choose "LAGFIX options", then "Enable Lagfix: Convert EXT4 Without Binds". This applies a lagfix, and converts the partitions into the faster EXT4 filesystem.
2. In recovery, go back to the Advanced ULK Features menu. Choose "TWEAK options", and enable the four tweaks. For more information about these tweaks, see HERE.
3. If you really want to squeeze the power out of your phone, with this kernel you're able to overclock it to upwards of 1.6GHz. (However, only about 1.2 is stable). Download the SetCPU app and increase the clock speed in order to overclock it.

Q1 - I'm on stock Froyo and I have 3e recovery!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're on stock Froyo (ie: not running Eclair with recovery 2e or ClockworkMod) then you might have to do a bit more work before installing any custom ROM. Just follow these steps:
1. Download Odin from here.
2. Download the latest Super Optimized kernel in the attachments. Make sure to download the Odin kernel, not the CWM one!
3. After downloading, extract the .TAR file from the file you just downloaded.
4. Open Odin, and turn off your phone. Connect your phone to your PC via USB, and enter download mode by holding volume down + home + power.
5. Odin should detect your phone. Load up the .TAR file in the "PDA" box in Odin. Make sure the other boxes are left blank. Untick "Repartition". Start flashing.
6. Your phone should automatically reboot with the new kernel! To double check, shut it off and boot into recovery. If you see CWM recovery, you're successful!
After doing this, follow the normal steps to install this rom.
Q2 - I have a Bell Galaxy S, and I'm afraid of my phone bricking! What can I do to prevent it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It isn't entirely known right now why the phones are bricking; some say it's a hardware issue involving the motherboard, whereas others say it's strictly a software issue. Both Samsung and Bell have stated that the new firmware, JL2, fixes this problem and will prevent the internal SD card from dying. However, there have still been reports of phones running the JL2 firmware and dying (albeit much, much less reports).
A bit more technical: Included in the stock JL2 firmware from Bell is a new secondary boot loader (Sbl.bin). This deals with the phone at boot-time; it handles three button recovery, etc. Typically, the Sbl isn't included in a new ROM, as nothing needs fixing and the boot loader doesn't need touching. Except for this time! The Sbl.bin is apparently the file which fixes the internal SD card problem.
So, if you're wondering what to do in order to prevent your phone from dying, your best bet would be to flash the JL2 firmware using Kies (or Odin if you know what you're doing - tick bootloader update), then you're basically free to flash any other firmware you wish (except for firmwares which contain the Sbl.bin, because that would overwrite the current Sbl. But, every custom ROM and essentially every stock ROM lacks this file, so you're fine to flash anything).
Again, I'm going to restate that not everything is known involving this problem and the above is based on my own research. A handful of people have done this and have still had their phones die.
Q3 - I'm encountering force-close issues, and general app issues right after installation.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you installed the no-wipe version, try backing up your data and installing the wipe version. After doing so, boot into recovery, perform a factory reset, and clear the cache + Dalvik cache.
Q4 - What's this steam recovery and how do I access it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steam recovery is a new, semi-functional multi-touch recovery created by sztupy. This recovery has all the features the standard CWM one has and more. Check his thread for more info.
Please note: Because (currently) the only Steam-compatible kernel is based on a much older base version (ie: not XXJPY), a small amount of features are incompatible, such as lagfix options, kernel options, etc. However, the majority of features (such as mounting, wiping, etc) are working just fine. I'm working on getting everything working; as soon as it is, it will fully replace CWM on this ROM.
To enable it, just boot into CWM and go to "Apply sdcard: update.zip". After doing this, it will boot into the new Steam recovery. You must do this every time you want to access it.
Q5 - My GPS isn't working! It takes forever to lock and displays my position inaccurately!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try clearing the GPS data on your phone. Do the following: (Original poster unknown. Reposted by dpvu.)
1) Enter *#3214789650# into the dialpad.
2) Under "Application Settings" set the Start Mode to Coldstart.
3) At the main menu "Delete GPS Data".
4) At the main menu "Get Position Test".
If you're still not finding many satellites try setting Operation Mode to "MS Based" in the "Application Settings". I did all of this then set the GPS back to hot start.
Lastly, if you desperately want to fix your GPS, try flashing the JK4 modem. There have been different reports, but it has been regarded by some as the best modem for GPS. To flash it, download the modem, and use Odin to select the "modem.bin" file in the PHONE box. Go to Settings -> About on your phone after flashing and look at Baseband to ensure it flashed correctly.
Download the JK4 modem from the Downloads section. http://www.multiupload.com/3HOKWMBHO2
Q6 - My battery is running out very, very quickly!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are many, many things which may cause the battery to run out quickly. I'll go over a few of the problems here:
1. After a fresh install of a ROM, the battery may be uncalibrated. Try charging your phone, and use it normally until it discharges. Repeat this 2-3 more times; your battery meter should be accurate again.
2. Clearing your batterystats.bin has been said to help fix the problem, and improve battery life by a lot. Charge your phone to 100%, then boot to recovery and clear batterystats.bin (by selecting wipe battery stats). Reboot, and use your phone normally until it shuts off by itself. After it does, charge it up fully, and you're good to go.
However, it's worth stating a few things: the above method has been put down by some users, who state that the batterystats.bin only contains a history of the battery usage and nothing more. Also, the Galaxy S contains a Li-Ion battery, which technically shouldn't be fully discharged (in order to extend the life of the battery). Do the above at your own risk.
For a few more fixes, please visit this thread.
Q7 - What's all this talk about the 850MHz band and modems?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The 850MHz band is a 3G band which apparently has better range and reliability (as opposed to the higher frequency 1900MHz band). It's basically only used in Canada (and I guess Australia?) but cell carriors like AT&T in the US are trying to make it the standard. Because of this, the i9000 International (not the Bell Galaxy S, i9000M) doesn't have the functionality to connect to the 850MHz band.
To get back this band, you have two options: flash any international ROM (JPY, JPX, JPO, etc), then flash a Canadian modem (JK4, JL2) afterwards. The second option is a lot easier: just install a ROM that contains a Canadian modem already (ie: this ROM, or stock JL2).
Q7 - I'm unable to back out of the Contacts application when I select it in the Launcher Pro dock.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a known bug, but has a very easy fix: just long press on the Contact icon in the LP dock, and change the shortcut to the "Contacts" application.

After using seeARMS' rom for a few days now I can't believe how fast and smooth it is. Everything is like butter. No lag or hiccups anywhere. Even something as simple as typing on the keyboard is now instant with no delay when typing quickly.
Its now on par with the iPhone 4 as far as OS responsiveness. I hate iOS, but it always runs like butter. Well this phone does too now!
GPS is insanely fast now too. Wow. If I open Google Maps I get a lock of 10m in about 5 seconds. This is IN MY HOUSE!

a HUGE thanks to seeARMS.... my phone was crap out of the box, as in I couldn't access most of my settings menus. That included WiFi... kinda ridiculous don't you think?
After much frustration, and lots of research, I stumbled upon this brilliant ROM made from the JL2 I originally had. There were a few issues flashing (because Vista SUCKS and I'm used to a single user on W7) but my phone is FINALLY WORKING!!!
Thanks again seeARMS, great work.. the ROM looks slick and running smooth as can be.
On another note, my brother got a SGS about a week and a half after I got mine, and his was loaded from Nov. 2010 (mine Dec. 2010) and had the JK4 ROM, which I heard has issues. So, instead of taking the phone back and risking an older, even crappier version, I am glad I undertook the process of flashing and upgrading to a much better, home-brewed ROM.
Again... thanks...

Yeah, I'll upload one now. It takes quite a long time to upload a file though, so it should be ready in an hour or two.

Great job seearms!!!
Quick question for you though, I have the bell variant also but unlocked it and using it with Rogers ... I've never used these bell firmwares, jumped straight to xxjpy no problem. Can you tell me what you meant about Canadian users getting back their 850 band? Are you saying on xxjpy I don't have 850?? When I check in the dial codes it does say I am on 850 ... always have been too..
Can you elaborate please? Thanks in advance!!!

I believe the I9000 International phones do not support the 850 band HSPA (3G) network, so all their ROMs do not include this band. The Bell Galaxy S Vibrant, however, does support it, which is why Bell includes this band in their firmware.
To confirm that you don't have this band, type this into the Phone app: *#*#0011#*#*
Look at the third line down. It depends on your location, but it won't say 850MHz. In the Debug menu you're able to select it, but it won't actually work.
Flashing a Canadian (bell) modem, or a Bell firmware which includes the modem, gives back your 850MHz band.

You do know that Doc has JL2 modem on his kitchen right? 850 works perfectly. No need to base entire ROM off JL2. IMO JPY is better ROM to work from.

Yep, I know. My other custom ROM is actually based on XXJPY running a JL2 modem.
I've run both this ROM and the custom JPY ROM and I gotta say, I prefer this one. No battery drain, no problems.
Maybe it's because two of my phones have died (one running JPY) so I'm paranoid, but I'm sticking to JL2.
Also, Samsung has stated that JL2 supposedly fixes the internal SD card problems, and there have been much, much less reports of phones dieing running JL2.
Regardless, I'll be running this rom either way.

Yes I have heard the miracle stories of JL2 for failed sd cards. Luckily my dad and I have not suffered from that on our I9000M's. I guess I like the feeling of the better kernel with more RAM on JPY.

What kernel? This ROM is running harcore's SpeedMod. If you're running the same kernel, it'll be the same amount of RAM.
EDIT: Also, the no wipe version has been added. Check the 2nd post to download!

I agree with seeARMS, let's keep this a safe JL2 Version, it helps keep all the proper Canadian location and Bell settings and our internal SD from frying.
I have installed the ROM and restored all my data using ClockworkMod Recovery. WORKING GREAT! I did have to delete the "com.cooliris.media" folder found in Android/app/data/ as it was causing trouble but it gets recreated. I also had to reROOT using SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse but that is normal after installing a new stock ROM.
Great Work!

Was there an error message involving that cooliris folder? I can easily add a few lines of code into the error checking shell script to delete that folder, I'm just curious as to why it was causing problems.
And, why'd you re-root it? This ROM is already rooted + contains Superuser and Busybox.
Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow for Alcatel Idol 3 4.7" 6039Y
This is unofficial Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow firmware ported by myself from USA version of Idol 3 4.7" OT-6039S. Firmware is 1:1 as original but with additional languages support. Official 6039S firmware has only five languages - English (United Kingdom), English (United States), Espanol, Francais and Italiano. My version is customized and supports much mode languges: Russian, Ukrainian, Deutsch, Eesti, English (both, USA and UK), Francais, Latviesu, Lietuviu and Romana. Here is some screenshots (see in Attached Thumbnails).
Installation instruction
1. First of all you must install TWRP on your Idol 3 4.7", there are several methods how to do that (all of them described on this forum). You can use fastboot (if flash and boot commands are not locked in your firmware), or you can use QFIL to return fastboot commands implementation and flash TWRP.
2. Download and unpack following archive in a separate folder - idol347-android-6.0.1-rus-twrp-backup.rar (archive password is decker.su)
3. Boot in TWRP and make backup of your current firmware (!), it's important. Choose Backup option in TWRP's main menu, select Storage as external SD card and make backup of your system and boot partition.
4. Make Wipe / Factory reset through TWRP menu. If you have CM (Cyanogen) Mod ROM installed, make sure that after wipe your Cache and Data partitions are formatted in Ext4 (if not, for example you have f2fs cache and data - format they to Ext4 through TWRP, it's important).
5. After you make your backup on external microSD - you'll have the following folder structure. TWRP -> Backups -> xxxxyyyy, where is xxxxyyyy is a 8 alpha-digital "number". It's unique for each device.
6. Copy this folder 2016-06-11--05-25-24_MMB29M_release-keys from archive to xxxxyyyy folder on microSD and choose Restore in TWRP.
7. Reboot the phone !
After reboot Android can boot 5-7 minutes first time. It's normal. Welcome to the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow

Hey thanks for the work!! I have been using these since yesterday, works great on my 6039A, the only problem I found was that I can't set any type of secuirty for my lockscreen, just "None" and "Swipe" work, the rest make settings FC.
Also, is there a way to add spanish back again?
Those 2 are minor issues anyway, thanks for giving people from outisde US MM

This is already known "bug", unfortunatelly, seems this bug exists on an original USA (6039S) firmware (or it can happens due
due to some incompatibility between 6039S and other 6039* models). The main idea is to waiting for next update 6.0.1 in USA and looks how this thing will works, if in next update this "bug" will be fixed - i will release an update of customized firmware.
Also, is there a way to add spanish back again?

Yes, Spanish is missed according to my mistake In next release i will don't forget to add it in firmware. But can't promise a specific date of this release.
As I said, I am already extremly thanful that you made all of this possible. The spanish thing is a minor issue, I found an app that lets you add any language, system is still in englsih but it forces most apps to use the language you select.
And for the lockscreen, I am already using a third party one, so both problems are kinda solved for me.
Hopefuly we keep getting awesome stuff for our device from awesome people like you!
hi! i have installed it yesterday by your forum using google translate. by now, thank you!
so, if we have some atts our phone will get via OTA? (i think will not, but who knows )
see ya soon and thank u a lot

No, OTA updates will not work. Better initially turn off automatic updates to avoid any errors. OTA updates is fully functional on non-modified devices only. I mean - to work with OTA your phone must have all unmodified partitions, original recovery, etc. In this case, when you installed customized firmware - you'll have modified recovery partition (TWRP is installed) and modified system partition (firmware, as described above was customized to add additional languages), and, at last - you have other partitions from your device, not from original 6039S USA. This is the reason for which the OTA update will not work.
p.s. If USA verision will have major global updates - i will update this firmware too.
Thanks for a great rom. I have benen installed yesterday and everything is perfect.
I am using nova launcher and double tap screen work really very good.
I will waiting for a spanish language.
Good job, Decker.

Hi there!
I'd like to try this but I am wondering whether or not you could add support for dual sim devices.
I have 6039K bought in Italy.
Thanks

Support of dual SIM can be added only after official release 6.0.1 for Dual SIM Idol 3 6039K in any region. As far as i know - 6.0.1 now exists only for one SIM phone. But you still could try this firmware. The only limitation - that your phone will see only one SIM card slot. And, of course, before flashing this TWRP backup is strongly recommended to backup your original firmware in TWRP.
So which SuperSu do you recommend to flash?
Update:
SuperSu 2.62 boots fine

I understand that your backup maintain the fastboot commands and 16GB of internal memory. is it right?
this is very important, because I don't want a MM with only 8GB and without fastboot commands.

Not quite. Firmware is partition-size independent. So, if you have only 8 Gb userdata partition - in Marshmallow you will obtain 8 Gb of internal memory. If you initially have 16 Gb device, or your device was already repartitioned - in MM you will have 16 Gb of memory. All needed manuals, i mean - how to do repartiton, or how to return working fastboot commands already exists on this forum. Read appropriate topics.

Radio module (modem) is not included in this firmware backup. In other words - after flashing this fimrware you'll have your original radio from stock (or previous version of firmware). I.e. - nothing changed, you'll have same frequencies as on your previous firmware.
Hello guys, I'm going to share some CM builds I've found online and I'd like you to try them and discuss them. Thanks to collapseromer.

OK, things are getting serious: we've got Play Store and Google services working fine (location via mobile data and wifi not working), all kind of streaming videos play fine, framerate for GPU intensive games is unbelievable compared to LeTV's 12S stock ROM based Custom ROMs; no major bugs to note except Parrot's Free Flight 3 app not working.

Google Play Store started FCing after like an hour since I installed. I've tried a few things to get it back (uninstall via Root Explorer and reinstall, clear cache and data, flash GApps again) but so far no luck; funny enough, it's auto-updating installed apps and installing apps when I do that via browser just fine. :/
EDIT: Now it works... I guess it's because of the modified build.prop I applied, which I'm attaching here..
Actually I kept getting Play Store working on and off and I couldn't understand what triggers that so I reverted to the ROM below.

1. With the card inserted and unacknowledged make a call by typing: * # * # 4636 # * # *
2. Appear a menu with several options: informaticion phone, battery information, usage statistics and wifi information. That we are interested in "phone information" we click on it.
3. We get a lot of things and options. We seek "Set preferred network type" and we click on the tab that appears below us which allows us to select different types of networks.
When you first enter this menu appeared selected the option "TD-SCDMA, LTE, CDMA, EVDO GSM / WCDMA," possibly this was the problem, it was the wrong choice. So it was.
4. Change the option to "LTE / GSM / CDMA auto (PRL)" and restart your phone (you simply have to select it and get out the normal phone menu

And head over here to review the ROM, I think that may stimulate collapseromer to build more, maybe even CM13! http://rom.7to.cn/romdetail/1012717
What's your mileage guys? Could you get some CM13 somewhere, maybe? Please share your files and experience, LeTV ROMs are just clueless and I really think CM is the only way out: how could you develop such a useless lockscreen and notification shade, LeTV?
Hmm... Great stuff. I also not very impressed by EUI... What about Sim card slots, mobile Internet and camera? Do all these things work on CM too? How about battery life? Is it improved or same or less?
Sent from my Le 1 Pro using Tapatalk
I'm using slot 2 only and data/calls/messages work fine; both cameras work, with 4k videos too; battery is more or less the same, I can go morning to evening just like Cuoco's. I really insist you should try, unless letv starts developing good things (but it seems like Android 6 ROM doesn't change much) I'll never look back; moreover, someone may port cm13 sooner or later.
Inviato dal mio X800+ utilizzando Tapatalk
How's the camera quality, compared to EUI?
Thanks for this share OP =D
Not at all, dude, I just want to spark some conversation and maybe development for this DOA device...
Camera is fine, you even get 4k video recording from main camera and 1080p from the front facing one. Even official EUI ROMs are not that good, with camera: videos always fail to autofocus and you have to keep pressing on screen to refocus, while pictures live preview is slow and generally not so good with low lighting.
Please H3G, deliver the HTC 10 and I'll get that in a heartbeat so I can stop going slightly mad with this device!

Did't you installed OPENGAPPS arm64 version right after the ROM flash ?
Right, opengapps build, 64 bit, Android 5.1, flashed right after ROM (put two zips in queue, in case you're wondering). Let me know which build you're going to flash and how you like it.

I installed it ! But on boot I choosed german as language maybe not a good idea. Will try again with english at first boot-up.
I noticed following:
- I installed OpenGAPPS Stock Version for 5.1 / arm64
- Google Play Store is crashing
- AudioFX is crashing
- four to six useless chinese apps included into the ROM
- One settings extension is completely in chinese
Anyway if I'm able to remove the for me useless stuff and fix the crashing of the play sotre, then I will keep this ROM.
Which ROM build did you flash? I reverted to https://app.box.com/s/ua2ekx0g54iltp2nj9b8uo2fykciylwg for now, just because of Play Store issues (even though it actually worked since I could install apps via browser and apps were auto-updating I could open it only sporadically, most of the time it force closed).
- AudioFX crashes here too, I actually never tried that since all my audio needs are speaker and bluetooth;
- You can easily freeze/uninstall those Chinese apps: enable CM root access in standard developer settings, install Titanium Backup or similar from Play Store (or via apk from apkmirror.com) and get rid of them;
- That settings item in Chinese language is actually just a container for all those Chinese apps you want to kill, so don't bother. It will force close if you click on it, once you freeze/delete those apps.
- I always choose Italian as system language and everything is in Italian: except for those Chinese apps, of course, but they never survive for a long time.

Yes exactly. I flashed it already Play Store works on this build from 12.05.2016. Cool !
I already deactivated all the chinese APPS via APPS Settings --> All Apps. It's important that you have to download first a new keyboard like google keyboard. As the chinese/english one will be also unavailable when deactivating all chinese app/services from settings.
Yeah, so far that build worked fine, only occasional non-playing Periscope/Facebook videos. Even installed Xposed Framework with a few modules.
Oh, are you using Trebuchet or Google launcher?
TeleNougat V4.5 for Sprint
@tdunham managed to get the stock deodexed Nougat rom which is based on the Sprint QC5 7.0 Nougat Note 5. I have everything tweaked in this rom specifically for the s6+ Sprint users.
"Features:
- Pre-Rooted with Magisk
- Hotspot enabled
- Knox Removed
- ItsOn Removed
- Extra Toggles added
- MSL disabled in ##DATA menu"
- S8 Apps:
Calculator/Calendar/Camera/Clock/Contacts/DownloadUi/Email/Galaxyapps/Gallery/Launcher feat. Hello Bixby/Lockscreen/Phone/SamsungInterent/Messages/Music/MyFiles/Phone/Video/Voicerecorder
Known Issues
1. language settings inside of Language and Input fc. (the issue is in systemui if someone wants to play around with it, may not get fixed anytime soon since no one really changes it from english anyway.
2. Hello Bixby app (uncheck video to not get a fc)
3. Night Clock and AOD doesnt work (due to kerne)
ROM INFO
Since this is stock based, everything Sprint related works. (prl, profile update, wifi calling, voicemail)
Personally prefer you to be on QC5 everything first (check general section in you need help odin to Nougat stock.)
Fresh wiped phone is always preferred before installing roms.
Flashing tutorial if needed:
1. Grab a cold one. (Key step)
2. Boot into twrp and WIPE SYSTEM, dalvik cache, cache in TWRP before flashing
3. Flash rom
4. Reboot
*dont forget that Android 7.0 is API 24 which means XPOSED will not work, there isn't an unofficial or official build for it yet.*
Rom Links:
V2 TeleNougat_V2Final4/20

Everything is working great. I dirty flashed, though, being on QC5 already is why I did. Saved time from setting everything back up again.

Others have it downloaded already (the links are good, i just rechecked them) , try refreshing? Or redownloading.
thank very much. testing
l have tried two different pc and two vpn. :crying:137kb :crying:
Just Curious?
Do you think there's a possibility of something like this being ported over to the standard galaxy s6 (SM-G920P). I just happened to stumble upon this while doing some google searches.
even i have flashed the 70m file still .can not use data and shealth

I doubt it, though you could try, ive never messed with s6 Devices 920P.
Question to OP or anyone who would like to give feedback: If I Backup my Stock-Rooted(SU) in TWRP, then decided to use this ROM, and then also Backup this Rom. Should there be any issues on going back and fourth between the 2? Thanks in advance to anyone willing to give me feedback on this!

Yes, if you install twrp without rooting with the Magisk-v12.0 zip. Stock recovery will replace twrp recovery at least it did for me. If you try to install this Rom without root in twrp I believe your get a not rooted error. You could try it? And also that Rom is prerooted FYI.
Is there a way to add Avatar for sent messages? I tried frash install and still no luck
Great Rom, Thank you!

I flashed the ROM and everything is working great, but how do I get rid of Sprint Hands Free Activation in the installed GT Idoneapps.
When I click on Samsung DM Manager all I get is :" idoneapps is granted super user rights. No permissions to enter OMADM Hidden menu"
Thanks Again .......great rom

what are you trying to do exactly?
Maybe that will help me. I clicked it and it said the same for me
So far so good. Is there any way to disable the data usage stats on pull down? I have unlimited and don't need it. It will just bug me. Thanks a bunch
EDIT: I figured this one out myself. I am including the change in case anyone else wants the data stats removed from quick settings.
1) use ES File explorer or another root explorer.
2) copy others.Xml from "system/ csc"
3) change permissions (not sure if needed but just to be safe)
4) edit others.xml. Near bottom are the new entries for mod and I just changed <CscFeature_SystemUI_SupportDataUsageViewOnQuickPanel>FALSE</CscFeature_SystemUI_SupportDataUsageViewOnQuickPanel>. Was originally true.
5) copy over the existing file
6) reboot
7) profit.
Thanks for Rom. can't wait to get it just the way I want.

The Rom hasn't had a battery drain impact in anyway for me. Thanks again it's running buttery smooth.

How To
[Installation]
Assuming you unlocked your bootloader and have TWRP
IF WIPED SYSTEM/USING AOSP/WANT TO ENABLE SECOND SIM ON G8141
Flash This with a newflasher
CONTINUE:
P.S. Keep a TWRP backup of stock rom on your phone, so you won't need to use newflasher again.
Install this on top of the stock/stock based rom (like Tomahawk Project)
Don't forget factory reset!

AFH
GDRIVE
CONTINUE:
[Freedom of choice]
FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY:
Keep it simple, without ROOT
Install F-Droid and explore open source world. Download APK and send it to your device. I removed browser, pick your own
At your own risk:
If you want download apps from playstore anonymously, try Aurora Store
Want to get accurate Network location and some of the Google apps working properly, then install this Magisk Module
To get Network Location working, signature spoofing is needed. You'll need this or this edXposed module
If you think my work was for nothing:
Install Gapps and never visit this thread again
Changelog

Initial release

Fixed broken GSM + Data
Privacy made Easier
Let's find a balance between security and ability to use apps which we have to.
Most of us have people who use messengers we don't trust, but we still need to communicate with those people.
Another CONCERN is a fact that most of the apps rely on google for push notifications. Google get all the content, no matter how secure your messenger is.
If you don't have Google Services, then you have problems with notifications. Here MicroG will help us.
So, let's make a secure environment for apps we use, but don't trust.
You gonna need:
This rom installed
Magisk + "microG installer Revived"
Shelter
Let's do it!
Open Shelter app and let it create work profile.
Then you need to make sure install some apps in there:
If you install Aurora Store inside Shelter it will allow to easily manage apps from Play Store.
You can clone magisk to shelter( enable multi user in the main app first, then clone) and install firewall inside the shelter.
Update:
Another way is to install vpn inside shelter and enable kill switch. So apps inside shelter only won't have internet access unless you enable VPN.
I use protonvpn, it give 3 countries for free and it's more than enough for average user.
Beware that when VPN is outside of the shelter, on the mainland, apps on shelter will bypass it, so you need to have clients on both. You may have 2 different VPN clients enabled if you need to.
What do we get?
See "Contacts" and "Files"?
Those are seperate from the mainland, so you can just add your relatives' phone numbers and WhatsApp will only see those.
We are LIMITING ACCESS TO FILES AND CONTACTS.
Plus we can easily freeze those apps, or limit connectivity with a firewall, or vpn.
Result:
You can use apps, that brings vulnerabilities or privacy concerns in a locked,controlled environment.
Still receive notifications without sending them to Google.
Or you can try VMOS, at your own risk of course
Short message for each of you.
This rom is a result of a project which aim to strip android back to it's core, so WE CAN BUILD IT THE WAY WE WANT IT. Not the way market researchers say we want it.
In short, this ROM is a prototype of community communication device.
Everyone can join the digital freedom project. I am sure each of us can help a cause.
Is ther any way to get real all the 4k working all time

Not real,but VM
If you set "apply on boot", you will notice that boot animation will become smaller ,but it's the same trickery as adb commands.
g8141 does not work, reboots right after sony logo no bootanimation.
p.s. flashed over .107 stock rom with twrp 3.2.3-0
edit: installation guide is a bit vague, do we MUST flash this? https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261694774
It says
IF WIPED SYSTEM/USING AOSP/WANT TO ENABLE SECOND SIM ON G8141
but I didn't wiped system nor using aosp nor want to enable second sim
second edit: Needs few reboots before booting to system, seems to work like intended.
Some suggestions:
Please find a solution to Automatic reboot when sim tray is removed, since I don't use dual sim and switch SD cards frequently it gets frustrating so fast. Thanks in advance.
Qualcomm Device Security still persists on this rom, it has an apk under vendor\app\QualcommTelemetry(?)
Video Enhancement is not working, at least on settings preview.
VERY USEFUL: Show charging current on lock screen, existenz rom had it.
Dark/Full Black System theme
Boot time is unacceptable, it takes around 2 minutes for normal boot, whereas even in a bloated stock it took around 30~ seconds. It is due to your framework changes and deodexing. However, I've been able to restore optimal boot time by changing all frameworks.
@undefine,
Yeah, boot time is longer because because of deodexing. Frameworks are untouched though in this rom.
If you want Video Enhancements, then you need to go back to android 8 and istall drm patch.... Since they fixed the camera on Pie nobody really bothers with other drm related things...
Agree on the dual sim reboot thing, it's annoying, but I have no idea how to disable it for now. If you really don't need to dual sim functionality then you can try flashing this rom on top of G8141 version and make sure you got kernel as well.
Theme is overlay, adding functionality to the lock-screen require modifying services.jar to disable signature (super user mod), both are security risks... You may flash existenz on top and remove what you don't need. At your own risk of course

I think boot time is not because frameworks are changed but some are missing, I just reflashed with everything in stock framework folder, it seems to be blazing fast as normal. I'm actually surprised it booted that fast even with Deodex.
As far as I remember Video Enhancements worked on stock 9 at least on my device, I have my drm keys though since I waited for a proper ta backup. However it is not a must feature either.
I'd rather flash opengapps full package than flashing existenz over this rom . I will look into some other tricks for showing charge current, maybe some xposed module exists?
Anyway, thanks for your contribution to this device. Cleanest stock rom I've ever used (besides one bloat called Qualcomm Device Security which I immediately removed).
