How to choose multiple sms
Hi WesamOthman
I'm using your rom on my note 2, and this is rom what I want
I want to know how can I choose multiple sms? like on phantom rom. Is there any mod I have to install?
Thanks
problem with sound
I have a problem , do not know if it is due to kernel ( agni 4.3.4 ) or the rom I have ( wesam othman 7.0). What happens is that when I use sports tracker and radio, it goes for a while (always with headphones) , but suddenly the audio is low and when I see the celu sound is step one to " silence" . Turn up the volume and back down alone.
Even from the panel I see as the sound "multimedia" will be only silence.
Hello @wesamothman ,
I really like the concept of a stock ROM with lots of improvements, so your rom fits all i want but still i got a problem and maybe you can help me. When i install the v7 i get all working good but i have a problem with superSU it says the application cant find his binaries and cant be fixed by playstore app.. Only problem is that im on linux right now and i cant make heimdall or Jodin work so im unable to flash via-pc the cf root so i cant even try to fix it.. What can i do by phone? is there a fix you can provide?
Thanks for your excellent work, hope you can help me
@Sparh4wk i have a copy of the ROM V7, if op wants i can upload it somewhere for you, so you can say if you got a problem with root too XD
Hello,
does v7 compatible with agni kernel v4.3.4?
Problem with NFC and S Beam
hello wesam.othman, in the last relaese 7.0 the nfc and s beam doesn't work. I'll explain, you are able to activate, but the phone is not recognized. thanks.

Congratulation for this excelent and stable rom for note 2
Sorry for my ingles...

Wifi Not working for this rom
I just installed this rom and everything seems alright, except that WiFI wont turn on...
When you try to turn it on, it just goes back off
Anyone else face this issue??
My thanks
Dear Wesam
Thanks for your time and efforts in putting this together.
I have been looking for a decent ROM for the N7100 which I use as my travel phone when I am on holiday. This is PERFECT. I downloaded it, set it up and my phone is much better than when it was a brand new phone and when it was a daily driver. I used many ROM's but this is the most stable. Not a single hitch in your V7.0 after a couple of days of continuous testing.
Thanks a lot, and God bless.

Yes. I had this issue. I did some reading and found that it is a common issue with KitKat and old boot loaders. You need to upgrade your bootloader and all reflash.
Good afternoon! Whery thanks for a firmware, also prompt, whether there is a working dialing program from S5 for your firmware? Everything arranges, but it for an ideal isn't enough)))

Gracias poe la rom
Rom thank you very much for the great V8 is smooth and fast, and always a great job.Thank wesamothman.
this is most stable rom I've seen - I've been trying lot of them and every one have some problems, really even Omega which I flashed after this rom and have microlags - stock is stock, no way around it
Thank You also for updating it, I'm downloading newest one right away because I really can't stand laggy phone just one nit pick - Mega try to install a extension in my Firefox, is there maybe a .torrent version or alternative download mirror ?
Again Thank You very much for keeping this alive! (though this will be probably my last Samsung phone, seeing how fast they update Android versions and how sucky those versions are compared to stock).

I will have this fixed in the next update. I have to do many many changes in the buildprop.
But at the current moment your phone should be getting LTE and 4G during calls even though it says 4G H+

This is a leaked firmware from China. This ROM will be updated over the days. Plus it takes a very very very long time for the device to boot. Please leave it up for about 10 min before doing anything and to play it safe after the ROM does boot please don't touch the device for about 5 min after the first boot.
omg it worked
It worked but are you going to be fixing the wifi isse id like to makebthis my daily driver and help test it for you?
I flashed this wit the latest CWM touch recovery worked fine. Normal problems like op stated. Can't wait for the next update should be a sweet rom.
working great T-Mobile M919
Flashed on my T-Mobile M919...it works great...if this alpha...its one hell of an alpha......WiFi works great...just flashed ausdims kernel works with no problem.....just minor things.. Screen mirroring won't connect.. But can stream music with WiFi direct.... Wish there was a way to get WiFi calling...other than that..this is a great daily driver...oh yes...battery is pretty Good.
Flashed ausdims kernel. Wifi, bt, ir blaster works, didn't try screen mirroring. Gps took a day to start working right. Gmail, MSN and games sink, fb doesn't show notifications, no big deal. Been using this for a couple days pretty smooth, no reboots like the kernel stated. I'm using metropcs S4.
hey

make sure you do a full wipe when downloading...you can use any i9505 rom for the m919...they are pretty much the same device but different countries.........i prefer to use this rom..which has s6 features baked in with google apps already in the zip as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-lollirom-official-1-0-t3049564 ...i prefer AEL kernel for best wifi, mobile net work signal (LTE) and of course kernel tweaks for great battery and performance..you can find it here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934552452
1. FIRST DO A FULL WIPE DONT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE.....THEN WIPE ALL TRACES OF YOUR CURRENT KERNEL WITH THIS. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712468056
THIS IS A KERNEL CLEANING SCRIPT. I BELIEVE IT IS NECESSARY COMING FROM A DIFFERENT ROM.
2.INSTALL THE ROM FROM THE LINK IVE PROVIDED ..MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD TO INTERNAL STORAGE..AND IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES FOR FIRST BOOT BECAUSE OF ART...JUST BE PATIENT..IT WILL BOOT.
3.AFTER FIRST BOOT............... BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND INSTALL AEL KERNEL FOR WIFI TO WORK AND OF COURSE SYNAPSE KERNEL TWEAKS.
4.ENJOY AND HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF IT WORKED WELL FOR YOU AND GIVE THESE DEVELOPERS THANKS AS WELL FOR THEIR WORK.
FLASH ALL FILES WITH TWRP.

Wow, Installed the CarHD International ROM on my S6Edge TMobile. (NOT pushing any one ROM. Just reporting results
Installed the Simple Kernel for the W8/TMobile variant:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952609432
Unsure if I needed to do the following, but flashed an in Call audio flash fix for the 920T (Non Edge) .
Just tested In Call audio and it works. FINALLY, since we all here are twiddling our thumbs waiting for the 5.1.1 official non leaked version roll out, it's SO NICE to now try International ROMs for our S6Edge TMobile variant PS,,,,I do like the boot animation as well as Inverted colors and Battery Mods on this ROM. Just my own opinion and will be trying out many International versions when I get a chance :good:

Can you share the steps you took to flash the Rom, kernel and patch? Can you use the patch with another kernel or does it have to be with the simple kernel ? Also how s the battery with your setup ?? And finally do you have the edge features with the rom your using ???

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Some stuff I can answer. Some it's not been long enough. I flashed the ROM, because I INCORRECTLY misread the thread about a kernel that fixed in Call audio but this did NOT flash on the Edge.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-stockmod-kernel-t3100395/page16#post61081515
So, do NOT use the above reference. I flashed that kernel and it would NOT update my KT kernel 5/28 date that others stated had GPS issues. Reading that thread there was a GPS patch for that KT Kernel and I was using that and the in call audio patch I had referenced in my first post. NOT trying to confuse anyone. Just giving background that after installing the ROM and using the patch and that kernel, I had no incall audio. BUT, I also noticed that the kernel wasn't installing, even though it was saying successfully installed. I checked in settings/about device and KT was still on board.
OK...enough Background. I found the current simple kernel for our edge I referenced and that worked along with the audio patch.
YES, edge features work. ONLY that Simple kernel I referenced works. I tried the 5/28 KT and the 5/18 KT kernels. NO in call audio. Deep sleep functions perfectly for me too, so I assume the battery times will be comparable to KT's. It's been 4 hours since I installed. I was at 92% at that time. I show 75% remaining as i post here and I have been listening to milk music last hour. Testing GPS for the other user. Some messaging and Browsing.
Order to install:
I factory reset after first setting up TWRP backup. The CarHD ROM offered an option to backup your EFS in Aroma installer. I picked that along with Factory wipe option. During the Install it asked for CSC region of choice. There was an option for United States with initials LRA. So I chose that.
After installing the ROM, I had KT on board, so I basically let the ROM boot up and I setup everything with KT running....but that's when I found out patching didn't help in call audio. So I basically recommend after your setup, go back to recovery and install the kernel. Then the audio patch file. THEN, delete Both cache files and reboot. You should get the Android upgrading all your user apps at this point and you should be good to go.
I'm sure you could probably flash the kernel and patch file, PRIOR to even first setting up, but I didn't do that so I can't tell you that will work. Can't hurt to try that.
INITIAL boot up before getting the Start Screen was a good ten minutes. It's NOT bootlooping. Just give it time. Get a cup of coffee and smile at the boot animation while waiting. It's definitely nice

I am copy pasting my original post so that the files are in one place here again:

u flashed CarHD International ROM on a tmobile galaxy s6 edge, and used this kernel "simple kernel r4t" and all is good, gps, calls out ans calls in, data, and wifi all works?? oh and I alos have to flash the "Patch file for in call audio "...just making sure I under stand all this, so im going to be flashing these 3 files and should be good to go???
Very interesting. Can anyone confirm. This would be HUGE!!
just as he said in his op, do not flash all 3 at once, it will work if u follow his directions to the t....
Flashing now. I am with Canadian Rogers so I chose the CSC to be RWC (since it was the only one with the "R", i think there are like 4 options that say Canada). Lets see and will report.
awesome, got it to work on my Canadian Rogers. A couple of weird things happened but so far so good!!!

I have been using my Phone all day. Audio works. Wifi works. Data works. GPS works. As another user stated, I did NOT flash all at same time. Read my post. It should work. And I am on TMobile using a TMobile S6Edge 128Gb.
BTW, I think I was the first to report using an Omega International ROM on the S5 with TMobile. So getting this to work is like a Deja Vu thing for me

I knew it would work. Not sure the CSC thing is really that critical. I know on my S5 I was using UK CSC codes on the early International F roms. I will try flashing all the stuff at same time before booting up, on next install try, but I have to say I like this ROM a lot so far. Just discovered the gradient settings for the status bar. Swipe to the right from Home screen to get the OTA updates, themes, 3Min Battery stuff, etc for this ROM. Some of the inverted colors make a few apps hard to see menu choices correctly. Had that issue with Alliance a few times depending on theme choices and all the color options. Just an FYI.
please also test the battery life too!!!

Phone is being charged up. I have a day of tasks to do. Dr. appt. Shopping with wife for household stuff. Talking to my daughter serving in USN back east in VA. (First granddaughter on the way approx Septemeber time)
IOW planning on using the phone
great post and great instructions man!:good::good:
I would assume any of the international roms would work using this method; I am tempted to try the Echoe rom, as I always liked that one on my Note 4..
did you see that Ktoonz posted a unified kernel yesterday? I wonder if that would work too, since that simple kernel supposedly leaves all sorts of Synapse stuff on your phone, even if you uninstall it..

I decided to try the carhd rom first, since its confirmed working.
I am just finished setting up the apps, and waiting for the "Android is upgrading" to make sure calls and stuff work..
Did you guys set up Viper on here yet?
I'll try Echoe in a day or 2, after checking out carhd for a bit...If you try Echoe before then, please let us know as well if this same procedure worked well on it; it should, but you never know!

does the deep sleep work right or not?? or we have to flash the stock firmware again??? thanks alot
deep sleep works for me..
Is there any ROM that is completely bug-free, or at least doesn't have basic features broken? I've seen lot of threads about custom ROMs where a worrying number people report serious issues. Like no GPS, no deep sleep, severe battery drain, broken modem, etc.
For what it's worth, this is for a rooted E980 20g with CWM recovery 6.0.4.4 that has never had a custom ROM (still has stock Kit Kat 4.4.2). I want something based on Lollipop but I'd settle for Kit Kat if it meant no issues. I'm kind of a noob, so the fact that there are seemingly dozens of custom ROMs has overwhelmed me...
im looking for it too
Best for you is to go and test every one of them.

There is a quick-fix for camera in forums; for blackouts - try with Wildkernel, build 4 or 5.

That is not even remotely feasible. It would takes weeks of research and testing, and the entire time the device would be useless, given the high chance of major bugs. There's just too many custom ROMs available for your suggestion to be practical.

There are 3-4 actively built AOSP-based custom ROM's for E980 (CyanogenMod, BlissPop, SlimLP... I'm not mentioning hack-roms made from stock), and you can test them in maybe 3-4 days, if you use each for 24h at least. Total time to backup, flash and restore is maybe 1.5 hours so it isn't a big thing, can be done at night, right before you go to sleep.
I can give you recommendations what to test (which isn't quite necessary when you have a choice between 3-4 ROMs, isn't it?); I can't tell you which ROM is 'the best' simply because what is maybe good for me is not good for everyone else.
Thing is, if you want to try custom ROMs, you try CM first. If it satisfies, ok, you use it. if it doesn't, you go and test another one. Back in the time I was searching for perfect ROMs, there were mabye 10-12 source-built roms (again, I'm skipping those stock-based hack-roms) and I've tested every one of them in course of two-three months, searching for the one which would work great and is customizable to the great extend.
So yeah, changing software on your phone actually involves some testing and reading, not getting everything 'pre-chewed' and ready.
Latest cm11 snapshot (not cm12.1 or cm12) this is pretty stable and is kitkat 4.4.4 based.
Justlovejoy cm11 is better than the cm11 snap12 , since the dev modify the ROM some more. The battery life is better than the most ROM you're able to find IMO. Here is the download link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60430532

I want something based on Lollipop but I'd settle for Kit Kat if it meant no issues. I'm kind of a noob, so the fact that there are seemingly dozens of custom ROMs has overwhelmed me...

The SlimLP port for our device is really nice and stable. MMS works on it as well, which is not available with stability on other ROMs. Also it is very smooth and has a nice battery life as well.

There are 3-4 actively built AOSP-based custom ROM's for E980 (CyanogenMod, BlissPop, SlimLP... I'm not mentioning hack-roms made from stock), and you can test them in maybe 3-4 days, if you use each for 24h at least. Total time to backup, flash and restore is maybe 1.5 hours so it isn't a big thing, can be done at night, right before you go to sleep.
I can give you recommendations what to test (which isn't quite necessary when you have a choice between 3-4 ROMs, isn't it?); I can't tell you which ROM is 'the best' simply because what is maybe good for me is not good for everyone else.
Thing is, if you want to try custom ROMs, you try CM first. If it satisfies, ok, you use it. if it doesn't, you go and test another one. Back in the time I was searching for perfect ROMs, there were mabye 10-12 source-built roms (again, I'm skipping those stock-based hack-roms) and I've tested every one of them in course of two-three months, searching for the one which would work great and is customizable to the great extend.
So yeah, changing software on your phone actually involves some testing and reading, not getting everything 'pre-chewed' and ready.

ShadySquirrel maintains the SlimLP ROM and it is really nice.

Yep! I was installed Slim LP on my e989 and work very very good!
I was tested with Cyanogen (w/o radio) , BlissPop (great ROM but random reboots and black screens) and finally SlimLP w/o any problems in 4 days. The battery life time is so good. I downspeed muy procesador from 1.7 to. 1.3 and The time is incrrased some hours.

I am in the same boat.
CM works for me, but the screen turning black and requiring a reboot makes it not really usable. Especially if you use your phone for work, because in the middle of typing a texting or something your phone screen will go black and you will need to reboot. (Although the screen is black, it is still responsive so if you have good enough memory to know where you are pressing on the screen I guess you can send what you need before rebooting)
Tried blisspop, but same issue.
Tried installing the wild turkey kernel but it puts my phone in a constant reboot loop, and if it does load then everything is broken. Tried installing it 3 different ways via factory reboot.
Also, every rom install/update for CM and Blisspop, I had to install the audio fix rom from dangdavy to get audio on phone calls. My Plantronics Voyager Edge also doesn't work with voice assistant and the mobile hotspot does not work.
Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying an LG G4 because it's gotten very cheap now and I want to use it as my daily driver.
I'll be getting the international version and I want to root my phone before properly setting it up. The reason for this is that I want xposed to make some ui changes as I feel the G4's ui is horrible (no offence). I've heard I'll need a custom kernel, twrp recovery, unlocked bootloader and root access.
I've also heard that with custom roms you lose functionality to things such as the IR blaster and the amazing camera app and all its settings. Is that true? If that is the case, I'd rather keep on stock rom with xposed helping me make the UI bearable.
My question is what would I exactly need to do? (with kernels, recovery, bootloaders etc I have only rooted a device once and it was 4 years ago so I have forgotten the basics plus it seems the whole process has become very tough now) The only end product I want is to run the xposed while retaining the IR blaster functionality and the camera app etc.
I have tried going through some videos on youtube but I found them vague, a little different from what I wanted or I saw a few comments talking about how the phone was bricked or stuck in bootloop.

Hi buddy , if your phone comes and it's on lollipop the type in Google " root lg g4 lollipop xda " but if it arrives on marshmallow then type " root lg g4 marshmallow xda " as for losing functions like the IR blaster and camera , I'm using latest Genisys ROM marshmallow version with the Imperium kernel and I have all my features still working they will only stop working if you flash a ROM which isn't based on LG for example Cyanogen or blisspop things like that....
If I have helped please leave a thumbs up!

Hi, thanks for the reply! How is the performance compared to the stock rom? What other benefits does a g4 based rom give?
Also, I still find the process a little confusing. Am I supposed to root first, unlock bootloader or install a recovery. Also what are the chances of bricking my phone?

Well first of all the performance depends there are options when installing different kernels which will give you better speed or better battery life the choices will be written in the kernel or ROMs description , the other benefits are debloated ROMs which means the software on the phone has been reduced to free up space and get rid of useless stuff and other little UI tweaks it just depends which ROM you choose as for the process you unlock your bootloader first via lg devs official site then depending on how you root will depend when you root it I'll explain , if your phone arrives and its on lollipop then use low effort root but if it comes and its on marshmallow then you use systemless root method and I won't bull**** ya pal the chances of messing your phone up is about 30 percent just make sure you follow every single step very carefully , the reason I said 30 percent is because if you're on lollipop then it's easier in my opinion to restore your phone by flashing the .kdz stock file for your phone ( the .kdz will make your phone like you bought it)

What are the advantages of the rom that you're using?
30 percent sounds like a lot, but are you saying that I can restore my phone even if I mess up the process?
Also can you link me to the methods?
The advantages of the ROM I'm using is good battery life with a good balanced performance also it has the LG G5 apps built in to it , and yes you can restore your phone as for the links to the methods I'm chatting to you on my tablet so gathering all the links would be quite hard they are easily found though for example if you are searching for low effort root then just type it in Google followed by xda so it looks like low effort root method xda , if you really want the links then I'll boot up my PC in the morning and I'll find them all for you , it's night time where I am so I'm going to bed soon I'll check your post though in the morning in case you have any more questions and as always please leave a thumbs up I greatly appreciate it , thanks buddy....

No problem mate, I found the link to the low effort btw.
So I'll have to unlock bootloader via the lg website first? then I'll have to install a custom recovery and then root? (or root and then install custom recovery?)
Also I was going through the thread of the rom you're using, and I saw the screenshots and they were pretty much the same as the lg ui (which I'm trying to run away from). Basically what I want is a stock android ui without losing the core functionality like the IR blaster and the camera app, knock code etc.
A question I have is do I have to change the kernel etc while rooting my device or can I just use the stock kernel?
I just did all of these things this morning. I posted my steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/howto-complete-guide-to-unlock-twrp-t3370003
I personally stopped installing custom ROMs since Xposed. It lets use keep the phone as it is out of the box but add in just the changes we want. With many custom ROMs, there are always bugs so you'll have to update them and that can mean resetting your device. You then have to install all your apps and settings again.
I tried to make the above guide as noob friendly as possible and it hopefully shouldn't require any reading outside of the thread.
