[RESEARCH] Xposed on stock Samsung A8 Oreo 8.0 SDK26

What's this about?
I'm starting this thread in order to keep track of the state of Xposed on the Galaxy A8 (2018). Current status: Working. (Updated Jan 2019.) Model: SM-A530F. Android: 8.0.0 (Oreo). ROM: stock, baseband A530FXXU2BRG1, kernel 4.4.13-13824581-QB18772733 from Mon Jul 2, 2018.
Why wouldn't Xposed be working? Xposed works on Oreo!
Yes, but not necessarily for Samsung. Samsung has custom ART libraries, and additional quirks such as xz compression, custom methods etc. There were custom Xposed builds made for Samsung LP/MM ROMs, but there are currently none that are confirmed working for stock N/O (no longer the case!). Symptoms of a non-working Xposed include lag, freezes, spontaneous reboots, bootlops and dissapearing baseband info in settings "about phone" (inability to recognize SIM).
How can I live without Xposed if I can't/won't get it working?
Depends on what modules you need. Things like Greenify or microG/UnifiedNLP can work without Xposed, by installing them as system apps. (Yes, you lose SafetyNet, but SafetyNet is lost anyway with Xposed.) XPrivacy can in theory be replaced with things like AppOps or the LineageOS permissions system (yes, I know that there's no LineageOS build for A8 2018 at this time, sadly.) You can also mitigate privacy implications by using a firewall like AFWall+ (it's a good idea even with XPrivacy). Feel free to suggest other alternatives in comments.
Requirements:
You should be familiar with the current state of custom kernel/recovery/root/magisk for the A8 2018. In short, in order to be able to try Xposed builds, you should have on hand the following:
1. Odin 3.13 or later. (Heimdall will NOT work, it cannot unpack the latest Samsung images. JODIN is not confirmed to work either. Use Odin in a virtual machine such as VirtualBox if you're on Mac/Linux.)
2. The official stock images for your device. Download from sammobile.com, updato.com, samdb.org. It is recommended to re-flash clean stock images whenever you try new versions of anything (recovery, kernel, magisk etc.)
3. TWRP version 3.2.3 or later. (courtesy of BlackMesa)
4. Also from the TWRP thread, you MUST get the RMM and no-verity fixes! RMM bypasses the Samsung theft "protection", which can soft-brick your phone for several days if tripped. no-verity removes the system partition anti-tamper protection, which would otherwise not allow you to boot.
5. Last but not least, Magisk and Magisk Manager are confirmed to work well. Install the latest Magisk (v18.0 at the time of writing this).
BlackMesa's Custom Kernel is OPTIONAL and in fact I haven't been able to get it working 100% perfectly. All the kudos to BlackMesa for the work he's put into it, it's the closest thing we have to a potential future LineageOS build, and includes LOTS of useful fixes, but remember that YMMV. If you install the kernel you don't need the opt-verity and RMM fixes. If you don't, Xposed works fine on stock kernel too. Again, this is OPTIONAL as far as Xposed is concerned.
In the same vein, if you're only interested in testing Xposed you can flash it from TWRP, you don't necessarily need Magisk (but it's highly recommended).
Before you start:
SafetyNet will be lost if you install non-systemless Xposed. Period. This can't be fixed by hiding Magisk from specific apps, it's about getting that green "SafetyNet check" in the main Magisk screen. If you don't get that, there are apps that will refuse to work, end of story.
You can live with it by installing older versions of certain apps (if you can get your hands on the APKs), back when they were not SafetyNet-enabled. Works fine for older version of Netflix for example (4.15.1 build 14947). Also works for my local bank's app.
INSTALL PROCEDURE:
Follow this procedure carefully. It will hurt if you don't.
* Get the RMM and no-verity fixes from the TWRP thread linked above. Get Magisk from the link above. Put them all on the SD card and put the SD card inside the phone.
* With the phone booted to system normally, turn ON the "OEM unlock" option in developer settings and never, ever turn it off again. If you do, the phone will soft-brick and you'll have to reflash stock images to make it work again.
* If you are starting from a pristine install you don't need to [re]flash the stock images. However, it's strongly recommended to perform a factory reset before you continue. If you're coming from a different kernel/ROM etc. you have to flash the stock images, this guide assumes you're on stock Oreo.
* Turn off the autoreboot option in Odin. Flash the TWRP .tar image in the AP slot in Odin. I repeat, DO NOT BOOT TO SYSTEM. From this moment and until you install the RMM fix you can potentially trip Samsung's theft protection. Proceed exactly as described below.
* Remove the USB cable from the phone. Press and hold Power+VolumeUp+VolumeDown to reboot and immediately after the reboot press and hold Power+VolumeUp to enter TWRP recovery. Do not reboot to system yet.
* Swipe to allow modifications when entering TWRP.
* Format /data. Reboot to recovery. Do not install TWRP when prompted.
* Swipe to allow modifications when entering TWRP.
* Verify that data is mounted, in the mount menu.
* Install RMM and no-verity fixes from SD card. (Alternatively, you can install BlackMesa's kernel instead at this point. It includes the RMM/no-verity fixes. Please note that I've personally experienced some problems with it. Using the stock kernel + RMM/no-verity fixes seems rock solid on the other hand.)
* You can now reboot to system. Do not install TWRP when prompted.
* This first boot to system can take as much as 15-20 minutes. The Samsung logo and the blue led will flash throughout this time. Let it work, be patient.
* Verify that the phone seems to work ok.
* Reboot to TWRP recovery (restart the phone then use Power+VolumeUp immediately after reboot).
* Swipe to allow modifications when entering TWRP.
* Install Magisk.
* Reboot to system. Do not install TWRP when prompted.
* Verify that Magisk Manager shows green SafetyNet check passed.
* Install Xposed Framework from Magisk Manager modules (NOT Xposed Framework SDK systemless).
* Start the Xposed app and use its own reboot option, to make it ask for root. Grant root forever. The phone will restart.
* Verify that Xposed shows green (working) message, and that Magisk shows red (SafetyNet check not passed) message.
* You may need to reboot one more time if Xposed says that it was installed but not active. You want Xposed Manager to show a solid green background banner in the main screen.
You can now install Xposed modules.
* If you want XPrivacy, you need to install XPrivacyLua. The old XPrivacy module is available and can be installed but it will NOT work, it is simply incompatible with Android version past Marshmallow. Yes, XPrivacyLua is different but it works well after you get used to it.
* I recommend also installing AFWall+ or NetGuard firewall, because in Oreo access to Internet is no longer an app permission (all apps get access to Internet; crazy huh? Google privacy FTW) so there's nothing that XPrivacy can do about it.
* Alternatively there's an XPrivacyLua hook which can fake apps into thinking there's no network connection, but it can be bypassed if the app is aware of it; an actual firewall is the best solution.
How should I test Xposed?
The main issues are those described above: freezes, lag, reboots, kills baseband. Xposed itself is working. You can install modules and they will work as expected. This is not a problem with Xposed itself, but rather the bad side-effects when combined with a Samsung ROM. So in order to declare a build as "working" please make sure that none of the above issues appear when you install it, activate it, install various modules, and use it for a while. When the bad things happen you'll know it, they will be very obvious.
What Xposed versions have been tested?
* Xposed-Framework-Unity v89/90b3r18 (non-systemless Magisk module or installed via TWRP). Working.
* Xposed Framework (SDK 26) 90.2-beta3 (systemless Magisk module). Not working. Red error message in Xposed.
What Xposed modules are working?
Here are modules that have been reported working. Doesn't mean these are the only ones that work, but it's not a guarantee either. Try it for yourself.
* XPrivacyLua [added Jan 11, 2019]
* GravityBox [O] [added Jan 11, 2019]
* AFWall+ [added Jan 11, 2019]
* Greenify [added Jan 11, 2019]
* MinMinGuard [added Jan 11, 2019]
* AlwaysCorrect [added Jan 11, 2019]
* RootCloak [added Jan 14, 2019]
* Screenshot Delay Remover [added Jan 14, 2019]
* App Settings [added Feb 5, 2019]
* Disable Flag Secure [added Feb 5, 2019]
* Play Store Fixes [added Feb 5, 2019]
Xposed modules confirmed NOT working
The following modules have been confirmed not to work:
* UnifiedNLP: the Xposed module is abandoned and was never updated for Oreo+, so it's not patching framework-res.apk correctly to add org.microg.nlp to the list of accepted location providers. So the status check will report unable to hook into the location service, and without that it won't work. I'm trying to research an alternative solution in this thread. [added Jan 14, 2019]

I have used Xposed on 8.0 with only one issue it boots up slower but I lost too much on updating to 8.0 so I went back to 7.1.1.

What build was it, and from where?
I can't say I've noticed it booting slower (with Xposed installed from Magisk).

If you want to use Xposed I recommend using SuperSU with it.

Can you recommend a combination of Xposed/SuperSU/A8 ROM that worked for you? I haven't had much luck with the latest official versions on Oreo.
Did you also flash one of BlackMesa's kernels, or used the no-verity and RMM fixes?
In what order did you flash all these things?

Has anyone tried this, i currently don't own this phone but my friend does..he would like to have xposed for one reason, to run Xinsta module
https://github.com/android-hacker/VirtualXposed

I've been holding off installing Xposed to hear more from others' experience. But I'm getting really tired of the unnecessary icons in the status bar (alarm clock, do not disturb, vibrate, etc.) and I'm not interested in installing a 3rd party launcher. So who else has installed Xposed on the A8? Has anyone else gotten it running without a problem?

If you dont like the icons in status bar, install good lock, that is the most official way to change ur status bar icons, you can find good lock in the galaxy apps store

Been trying this for a few days with and without root and doesn't seem to do anything, seems like it's not supporting Samsung ROMs atm or something like that (i've been also trying to use Xinsta as it's pretty much the only Xposed module i normally use)

I'm on a A530F, with (Oreo T-Mobile Netherlands, Baseband A530FXXU3BRG1).
Rooted phone, Magisk v17.1 and have Mesa's MCK v2 kernel installed, included official TWRP recovery 3.2.3.0.
I can confirm that I use Xposed for more than a day now, and it is running perfect with 4 modules installed still no loss of baseband or spontaneous reboots, and it does not boot up slow when you restart your device.
Battery live is good, you can boost it with Greenify.
I use Xposed framework version 90-beta3, only not installed from magisk did that before but unsuccessfully, so I tried it again this time it holds with the v2 Mesa kernel.
So this way works for me, you can try it but do not install Xposed systemly through Magisk.
One more thing, be aware that it is a beta version not official so not all modules will work, what works for me are GrafityBox, Seraj Xperia Home X (0), Flat Style Bar Indicators and Greenify Xposed module, try different modules for yourself see what works.
Its bin three days now since I have installed Xposed, and still running smooth. No freezes, dissapearing baseband or fc.
No problems at all!

Thanks for the heads-up. I've been meaning to get around to installing it as I have on my other previous phones, but have just been lazy. Good to know GravityBox seems to be working fine, as it's the only module I use.

You're welcome! Wow, you had a lot of cell phones.
Yeah at first I was also lazy, but I got some spare time and started to research Xposed on my Phone.
Now Xposed is active for 6 days on my phone whithout a problem.
So I guess that Xposed version 90-beta3 is working at least for me, if you are used to Xposed then try it out!
I hope that the official stable version for Oreo comes out soon for compatibility with almost all modules, but for now I am satisfied with the beta-version.
Here are some screenshots of my phone with Xposed installed.

Thanks. Yup, I already installed it last night. Only took a couple minutes and have had no problems with it today at work. I rarely have had issues with Xposed in the past. Even though it's called beta3, don't expect an upgrade. It's pretty much as good as its going to get. I think it's called a beta only to let people know there are no guarantees, but it's usually a pretty solid piece of software.

Thanks for your confirmation, I'm glad that Xposed worked out for you too.
I've tried the other betas but they didn't work for me, and gave me the baseband and sudden unstable reboot, freezing issues, so maybe there will be an upgrade in the future.
But I think you're right, its pretty solid, as for me with the beta-3 version.

You don't need root or xposed for that. Goodlock. Or systemui tuner wirh adb to grant permission.

Just not vibrate. But most of that can be straightened out yesterday with ease.

Quite satisfied with Xposed and root. Have had zero problems with it on the A8. Not interested in an app solution, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Root... xposed... those are app solutions. But for sure some very good ones. I know what you're getting at.
I was implying solutions that are not ad filled junk.

[ROM][TW] StockWiz - stable, no mods, stock [QK1][i9505][Debloated-767MB] 09 May 2019

StockWiz
Touchwiz Stock Experience
Smooth and stable as possible​
Introduction
I am aware that our smartphone is really obsolete and this ROM comes late.
I just wanted to do justice to this glorious drive that has been with me for so many years and it is still working and quite fast.
Why this ROM
During last years I enjoyed installing many custom ROMs and kernels, but while I was having fun most of the time I was wasting my time experiencing reboots, crashing apps, unstable kernels, battery draining fast, thousand of other minor/big issues.
I treasured all my experience and created my ROM following my thoughts.
This ROM was only for me and now I want to share it with you.
What is this ROM
*ONLY STOCK EXPERIENCE*, no mods, no custom apps.
This will remain as clean and stable as possible.
I just removed all bloatware, unlocked all csc features and repacked it with the latest patches I’ve found.
What is NOT this ROM
In this ROM there aren’t any custom or modded apps.
There are lot of other awesome ROMs plenty of nice mods. Pick one of them if you are looking for non stock experience.
Feel free to change by yourself your Launcher and your keyboard (I personally use Nova Launcher and SwiftKey).
Feel free even to use it for your mods or apply root.
Features - (TL: DR; Full stock)
Stock Kernel
Stock Firmware Touchwiz
Based on QK1
No root (you can root this rom if you want)
Security patch 2017-08-01
DeBloated
DeKnoxed
ZipAligned
Odexed (Is faster and stable than DeOdexed ROMs)
Disabled Quick Connect S-Finder Buttons
Minimal build.prop optimizations
Stock switch-on switch-off logos
English as default language (available lot of languages)
CSC: Camera unlocked features (shutter sound menu and more)
CSC: Call unlocked features (Record calls and more)
CSC: Messages unlocked features (recipient limit 999 and more)
CSC: Enabled Display Mirroring
CSC: Other Misc
All is built to have the smooth and stable ROM ever.
Please do not ask features that are not on stock firmwares
Any advice or constructive criticism are welcome.
Installing - (TL: DR; TWRP, QK1, Only i9505)
TWRP recovery request.
Copy the zip StockWiz_v[x.x]_[date]_[features].zip into your SD Card.
Backup your data
Reboot into Recovery mode.
Install "StockWiz_v[x.x]_[date]_[features].zip".
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Restart the device.
Done!
Manually uninstall applications like Shazam if you don’t need them (I’ll remove them in next releases). Change your launcher and keyboard if you want (I suggest Nova Launcher and SwiftKey). You can also apply root.
N.B.: if there is signal or WiFi issue, it needs to flash again. If the problem persists you have to flash *twice* any stock QK1 firmware with ODIN

Fast , Slim and Great ROM and also my proximity sensor works fine and there are no bloatapp (Shazam) that's posted on the Known issues

Amazing! I will test this ROM soon! I hope battery drain is good
I'll report bug and issues
I have tried almost all ROM's for s4 xD
Maybe back to stock (a clean stock) is better (?)
For kernel or battery drain
Idk
I'll test it
Ty so much for posting this ROM!

App advice
Maybe stock browser and S memo
They are really useful, especially S memo!

Thank you so much @FIFFY_2 . I have tried many ROMs too, and it was funny.
But I prefer a ultra-stable and clean device now.
I think this is also the best for battery drain (remember to use this ROM at least three/four days in order the kernel can settle down)

I agree, S-Memo is a great app, unfortunately it would depend on other fat apps (I'll check to be sure)
Samsung browser works really fast, but I chose to remove it from pre-installed apps and permit who like it to install by himself from google play.
You can find the updated Samsung Internet here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.app.sbrowser
Cheers!

Wi-Fi won't turn on problem FIX
Ok, installed right now
Some *issues with wifi (wont turn on)* and find a stock rom (QK1) is very hard in 2019 (too slow download speed)
But if anyone have the same problem, can easily fix follow the post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-untouched-stock-rom-t3419034
Downloading the rom and flash it or *just flash with odin modem and bootloader files*
It works right now
Enjoy!

any way to add samsung account?
i think you have removed it, right?
@FiFFiO

getting error 7 while installing.

Cannot install or update apps in Google play store.
Will flash gasps and let you know.
Thanks for the Rom. It's great.

Nice rom man! It's fast and perfect. Do you know how correctly install xposed systemless? I've installed magisk 19.3 and latest magic manager 7.3.2 then I don't succeed in founding correct package to obtain xposed for Samsung lollipop 5.0.1. Someone can help? Thanks in advance

Thanx. This seems to be a serious rom, mainly what I'm looking for.
But I totally agree to the previous comments:
1. Smemo is useful.
2. Stock browser is useful
3. a link to solve WiFi problems with necessary files is needed
What do I have to flash again? The bootloader (which)? the modem (which)?
4. Istalling Xposed via Magisk should be possible. Are there issues?
and: What means "TWRP recovery request" ??
I hope this rom works without TWRP and I can use the old CWM Recovery by Philz.
TWRP always makes problems for me, when I try to load the TWRP backup to another phone.
With CWM no such problems.
Regards,
Foh

OK, I have tried it. Looks good at the first view, but still some minor useless system app leftovers.
Would like to uses this "stock" rom, but ....
The problem is, I can't install Xposed Framework. Neither directly, nor via Magisk. After flashing the framework, the boot gets stuck at the samsung logo.
Will try a deodexed TW 5.0.1 now ....

Why you want install systemless xposed and Magisk, as for me its no need for old device, I install SuperSu and system xposed, all works (attach system xposed installer below).
About not wokring WiFi, here is link on SuperTouchWiz v9 there you can find modem and bootloader for WiFi.

Because my banking TanGeneratorApp requests an unmodiefied system.
So Magisk root / hide is needed for sure.
Not sure if the banking app will complain about Xposed if it is not systemless.
I will try the attached Xposed version .... does it work for the Samsung i9505?
Thanx

Known Issues
Pixel Launcher crashes constantly if you try to use it. This is an upstream issue, Lineage-16.0 has the same issue.
You tell me! I have limited testing time, so the more reports I get the better. Please see below for proper issue reporting!

Proper Issue Reporting
Make sure you are seeing the issue on a CLEAN install! If the problem pops up after a dirty flash, wipe data/factory reset and see if it still happens before reporting it
Make sure you have not flashed anything extra, such as 3rd party kernels, SuperSU, Magisk, Xposed, etc. These extra packages can cause their own issues. As above, try a full wipe and then only flash the ROM package and Gapps package, and see if the issue persists before reporting
In your report please include the following:
Issue you are seeing, and how to recreate it
Logcat/kmesg from right after the issue if possible
Build date of ROM you are running
Gapps package you have installed

This ROM doesn't officially support signature spoofing/microg?

No. AOKP has never officially supported signature spoofing/microg. We did discuss it in the past, but we decided not to, due to the security concerns of allowing signature spoofing.

Does this rom has a working googlepay support?
I have been on stock oxygen OS roms for too long and i am thinking about a change.
EDIT: it is working. Had to make sure that safetynet is passed and using hidemagisk on google products

May I ask what kind of security concerns? AFAIK the signature spoofing permission needs to be explicitly granted on a per-app basis OR the spoofing app needs to be installed in /system.
For the first point, you would have to be a special kind of retard to just grant any app that permission.
And as for the second point, you would either have to have a ROM that already has a malicious app installed in /system in the first place, or you would have to explicitly install an app in /system through a flashable zip, TWRP file manager or Magisk. And for that you would have to have user interaction and know what you are doing.
So it basically all boils down to the user being the biggest security concern.
@Pokemetti2 you can try patching it either with NanoDroid patcher (if AOKP is deodexed, I don't know) or patch it manually using one of many methods such as haystack, tingle or others. Just look at the NanoDroid documentation.

Yes, that is the case. However, with a rooted device, it would not be difficult for a malicious app to gain root access, then install itself into system, where it would then have access to the signature spoofing. Also, not everyone pays attention to the prompts that pop up on their phone, nor do they understand the ramifications of granting permissions, so it also wouldn't be difficult for a malicious app to gain permission for spoofing. Especially if the app has been granted permission to draw over other apps. It could actually hide the permission request under an innocuous sounding request.
;TLDR
Team Kang made the decision not to include signature spoofing/microg support. If you want to use NanoDroid patcher, or build your own unofficial AOKP with microg support, you are more than welcome to. But we will not be adding microg support officially.

That's fine by me, just wanted to know whether I had to flash NanoDroid Patcher.

Update to OP
Hey guys, I just wanted to point out that I made a small update to the OP. I included a notice of the required firmware package from OOS that this ROM needs. Currently that is 9.0.9. We ran into an issue over on 5T, and it likely had to do with incorrect firmware on the phone. I forget that not everyone pours over gerrit as much as I do, so they don't see the required firmware commits.
I will update the OP, and post an announcement, any time that we update the firmware base required.

I ve been on this rom for a couple of days and i have not experienced a crash so far.
Camera, gps, bluetooth and wifi are working. I can phone and everyone can hear me clearly.
I like the feature with the energy saving that you can use smart pixels to use less pixels on screen in order to increase the screen on time.
As for the sound effects, i had to disable the audioFX app to get Viper4Android working in order to get global sound effects.
What bothers me, is that once i have started up the phone, that it pops up a message that sim2 is not working and you get asked too early to switch to sim1. Perhaps if possible, adding a delay if 1minute has passed and that defined standard sim still has no reception, then ask for a simcard switch.
Also i wasnt able to find an option to turn off the alwaysOn display effect.
Above all else, great rom! Still using it as my daily driver.

I am pleased to hear everything is working well for you.
As far as sim1/sim2 goes, I only have a single sim card in my OP5, so I have not seen anything with it saying sim2 is not working. It automatically disables sim2 on boot. I will take a look this weekend, and bring it up to the team, see if there is anything we have changed that would affect sim1/sim2.
To the best of my knowledge, we have no feature to disable always on display. There are options to disable the Ambient Display, but that only affects whether the display pulses notifications on pick up, or removal from pocket.

Thanks for the reply.
About sim1 and sim2: i use both simcards and when i reboot, i ve noticed, that one of my simcards caught up reception quicker than the other one. So i got that message just like that i ve attached in the post. Although both are working after 10seconds, i still need to acknowledge with "no" to keep my settings with the standard sim cards.
It s quite hard finding the option to disable alwaysOn display. I ve tried finding the option through settings=>display=>ambient display but it does not turn off the ambient display. Instead, i had to enter the keyword ambient on the searchbar in settings and click on the first entry to disable the option.
I find it quite misleading that the term ambient display is there but you cannot find the actual option to disable alwaysON. Please see picture 2 and 3 and 4.

I see what you mean. I will definitely bring these up to the Team. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but I did not know it was possible to fully disable Ambient Display until you mentioned how. :facepalm: Then again, I like the Ambient Display option. But I will definitely bring these up. On the sim issue, could you get me a logcat? Do a fresh reboot, wait until it clears the sim notification, then capture a logcat. That should have all of the log from boot, so we can see if anything weird is going on in the boot process causing the sim to time out temporarily.
In case you are unfamiliar with how to capture a logcat, here is how:
To capture the logcat, you can use adb via your PC (ensure you go to Settings -> About Phone and tap Build Number until it tells you you have unlocked Development Settings (Settings -> System -> Developer Options) and make sure you enable adb), use an app such as catlog, or use a terminal emulator (su <press enter>; logcat -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt).

Sorry it will take a while, because i am unfamiliar with doing logcat. I will try connect my phone to pc via adb and try to log the events. It s quite tough doing while phone should boot.

newest build (01/31) doesnt boot for me (it reboots to twrp)
anyone else facing this issue?

I ve been there. Please do following steps:
1) If you have wiped data/factory reset already Flash Rom
2) Flash Gapps
3) Flash a no verity OP5
DO not flash Magisk. do your first boot and then flash magisk afterwards. Also some magisk plugins like Oxy ify doesnt let you boot.

Thanks for the logcat. I'll dig into it this weekend and see if it shows anything interesting. Quick question, have you tried lineage 16? If so, does it do the same thing as far as the sim1/sim2? Since we base off of Lineage, I want to make sure that the issue is linked to AOKP, and not something that we have inherited from lineage. I only have a single sim, so I can't test myself.
On the flashing sequence, I have personally never had any issues with flashing magisk right away, but ymmv. I do a wipe/factory reset, (after backing up via tibu and/or nandroid back up in twrp), manually wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache, flash ROM, flash magisk, flash gapps. Again, YMMV.
Also, you ONLY need the no verity flash if you have unencrypted your data partition. I left my data partition encrypted.
I have not flashed the 01/31 build yet, but I will check it out, probably tomorrow.

I don't sure volte working or not. I added some of the volte wanted vendor blobs need to test by jio users.
Secondthing, you earlier also mention about this light. But in my device i have white led in the front of the phone (near to front camera). I mentioned in my post as notification led. So in this build That is work perfectly for battery charging, low batter and notifications.

really a great rom, very smooth, you gave this old smartphone a second life

& Is it for xt62 or for moto e4 plus?

I have installed to xt1761 (standard "moto e"), sorry I don't know about volte. previously I had installed a rom from this forum with always a kernel present here, the phone was laggy like hell... about these kernels... guys don't use zram in your kernels! zram is the absolute evil for an android smartphone

If you have this rom running can you please check for volte provisioning from ussd pls!

I found this after reading some guide, I hope it will be useful to you

Where can I download the 113 firmware? Which part of it is exactly needed for the working fingerprint?
Edit: Found the thread with the backup of 113. We will see...
Ok, fingerprint not working anymore, even with this 113 twrp backup. Original 113 firmware not available anymore, just the latest for the SP flash tool. Not important, my mother don't like the fingerprint scanner, so it doesn't matter. Original IMEIs back with Toolhero has worked perfectly, just the serial number is wrong and this is not fixable and maybe not important like the right imei numbers.
There is one bug, safety menu in settings is not opening and seems to crash. That's because fingerprint is not working here, for sure. Or, all fine so far for mother.
And I have changed the bootanimation for her
Edit: Now she got a new battery. Hope the phone is not going down anymore around 75%

I have installed it on my Moto e4 XT1762 (2017), and my camera and gallery are not working... When I try to acces one of this futures, the phone stops and reboot.
It's there something to do with it?
Thx

Notification Lights are working perfectly which is blinking lights that were disabled in stock rom and in all custom ROM .
This is the only ROM that has enabled blinking notification lights for each added apps the pulse and speed of blinking.
Notification lights are white only & not RGB colors.
Wifi Calling also enabled and is supported by my carrier.
Screenshots below August 2020 security patch.
If all restored userapp icons dissapear like as if it was formatted, just clear Dalvik and cache.

Why doesn't the screen lock work? Clicking on "security" in the settings closes automatically. With the error "settings stopped"

Hi everyone!!
Must say an awesome ROM. The dark theme was the selling point for me tbh and the fact that its based off LineageOS sealed the deal. Thus, an amazing ROM overall in terms of performance, stability and battery life (the 3 things that someone wants out of a ROM )
But one issue that I am consistently facing is whenever I go into Settings and tap on either "Security" or "Set up Fingerprint" the Settings app either freezes or crashes entirely.
I currently have LineagOS 14.1 Dark installed on my Moto E4 XT1762 "Woods" MediaTek variant
LineageOS version is 14.1-20200913-UNOFFICIAL-woods
kernel version 3.18
Build Number being lineage_woods-userdebug 7.1.2 NJH47F 0b5190fbeb test-keys
I also Magisk version 23.0 installed for root.
Troubleshooting steps that I have taken till yet:
Restarted the device numerous times
Wiped the Cache/Dalvik Cache from Recovery
Signed up using Google Email
Deleted Google's application cache and restarted
Signed up using a new user (that time it just froze on the boot animation until I manually restarted it)
None of the steps work and still whenever I tap on Security or Fingerprint, its like my devices just tells me to eff off and not play around with the security settings. If this is something that the developer intended or locked, I would love to know any way to unlock it
I have also googled the issue quite significantly. However, for my specific device, I was unable to find any good information thus I decided to post on my own. I have tried a couple of different fixes that worked on other devices with similar issues but the same ROM. However, none of them have worked so far.
Otherwise, I must say I have been using this ROM as my daily driver for like 2 weeks and have yet to come across any other issues. All my required apps work seamlessly and its like my 3 yrs old mobile got a new life. Just this one issue is bugging me, and would love if I get some guidance regarding how to resolve this!
Thank you once again !! Y'all are awesome!!

Otherwise, I must say I have been using this ROM as my daily driver for like 2 weeks and have yet to come across any other issues. All my required apps work seamlessly and its like my 3 yrs old mobile got a new life. Just this one issue is bugging me, and would love if I get some guidance regarding how to resolve this!
Thank you once again !! Y'all are awesome!!

Most welcomee!!
Plus, regarding the NMA ROM I must have missed that part. I am still a n00b when it comes to rooting/installing custom ROMs, thus pls excuse my silly mistake.
Please do share the link of the NMA ROM, plus if there is any guide to do the installation of the NMA ROM and then this ROM, please do share that as well. Although you have already mentioned that you flash the NMA ROM and then flash this one and the fingerprint should work fine, so not a strict requirement, but would be nice to have if possible
Plus, pls pls pls do share the telegram group link. Tbh after flashing the ROM I have gotten interested in learning about custom ROM development, plus, if I encounter any bugs I can get quicker responses from the OG devs like you, so would greatly appreciate the share !! ^_^
Thanks once again!! Awesome ROM!!

[DISCONTINUED][ROM][9.0][SM-G930F] Lightheart OS [30/10/2020]

Lightheart 1.0 - The key to speed.​
Hi everyone. My name is Skulldron and for those of you who do recognise me, know me as the creator of Project Pixel, another one of the greatest ways to emulate the Pixel Experience, whilst keeping all the benefits of using OneUI and its stock optimized drivers as its base. Today I'm going to introduce something, different. Over the years of working on Touchwiz based ROMs, I've learnt the description of every little apk, every little permission, what it accepts and what it rejects, its pros and its cons. As a result of this experience, I have one of the best debloat lists out there, with each item on the debloat list, being tested, through extensive testing, and it goes over every file and every partition known in the OneUI OS. This exact same debloat script was used in Project Pixel, which has received positive review after positive review for how efficient and how lightweight OneUI became after the debloat. Today however, I present to you Lightheart OS, a new project that I will be building myself and updating monthly. Today I showcase Lionheart, the Lineage OS to my Cyanogenmod.
Key Features:
1. Heavily Debloated System: The debloat script that was made by me, has over 250+ debloated permissions, apks and other files.
2. Better Battery Performance due to Efficiency - With the removal of an incredible amount of bloat, along with better performance and lesser services, you should be looking at better SOTs and better standby times.
3. Kernel Power Control: With MTweaks and Magisk, you will be able to control your device’s clock speed and be able to force higher GPU and CPU Clock, when doing more intensive tasks such as gaming.
4. Better Kernel Performance - Due to the deepness of the debloat, the kernel now has more RAM and more space to be more efficient and allow it to focus on less threads at once.
5. Latest available patch with the promise of updates every month - Every month an update is released, the ROM will be updated along with it, with a time frame of 1-2 weeks.
6. Restored some stock Google Permissions - Some stock google framework was restored, such as the default setup wizard.
7. All Essential Samsung Features have been kept - All essential OneUI features have been kept alive, for the sole purpose of necessity.
8. Completely Deknoxed -The ROM has been Deknoxed and FRP lock measures have been disabled
9. VoLTE Supported
Individual Features:
1. AdAway
2. Eleven Music
3. Files GO
4. GBoard
5. Android Pie AOSP Emojis
6. Lightheart X Boot Animation
7. AOSP System Sounds
8. Samsung Gallery (Stripped Down and lightened to improve performance)
9. Samsung's Stock Camera with HDR parameter changes, debloated and additional video modes
10. SystemUI Tuner (Provides battery stats along with other useful customizations - Check QS icons and add it to QS Panel to view)
11. YouTube Vanced (Ad-free Youtube)
12. Mtweaks (Has Hardware Control - Similar to Kernel Adiutor but more tailored to Exynos)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: (Backup everything,contacts, photos etc.)
1. Download the zip and download the latest Magisk (ROM will not boot if Magisk is not flashed due to encryption procedures)
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache
3. Flash the zip and flash Magisk.
Notes:
- To view Battery Stats and Storage, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.
- Set Trebuchet as default launcher, for better battery savings. OneUI Home was only included for its app switcher.
Changelog:
1.0 - Initial Release
If changes are made, they will be highlighted in the next post.

Samsung note fe base???

Hi, thanks for the ROM. Will try it. Could you please provide md5?

Can't use GPay

Yes it is running the base from a Note FE. In particular the SuperLegerra ROM

wow, ... and echo cancellation works perfect ... but two things that I miss so far
the option "kill app back button" in the settings -> developer options ... please don't forget to build-in
the possibility to mount the SD card in the file system
Both options are default in LOS ... and yes, I know it was an initial release.
Thx for your work. we are hopefully waiting for the improvements!

Download and trying to install tonight

Info regarding phone stuck on boot pic
Hi there,
I have little experience with custom roms etc. I had installed LineageOS some moths ago as my phone was working poorly on stock rom and now with LOS 17.1 was starting to have problems again. Like an hour ago decided after some research to install this rom. However, after flasing the rom and magisk (I couldnt flash Gapps as error 20 appeared), my phone got completely stuck on boot picture (SAMSUNG GALAXY S7; POWERED BY ANDROID). I have both tried to get into twrp (previously installed) and download mode. No luck in any of the cases. I have tried to do the same from odin, to flash again twrp. However, as I cannot access download mode, I didnt work.
Now, I´m trying my best to figure out how to install some OS and continue from there, or at least be able to flash twrp and install another ROM.
I would much appreciate any advice in the matter.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: NEW SITUATION. No need of help anymore (by now)

Hi All, has anyone got EdXposed working?
I've installed magisk 21.1, riru core 21.3 , and riru YAHFA 0.4.6.4 EdXposed manager shows framework not active :/

Does mobile hotspot work?
I've been looking for a ROM that has kept the Samsung gallery and camera so I want to try this ROM. but I need to be able to use mobile hotspot so please let me know if it works fine. Thx

Hello, the ROM works great. There are some minor things. Like always on display does not work with option to tap the screen to show for 10 seconds. Also for some reason I can't instal Revolut from the play store. And lastly Titanium backup does not restore all the apps. I could not figure out a way how to make that work.

The hotspot works fine on mine.
I had the same issue with Titanium backup.
In the end I used split screen and installed each app from the play store, then restored data only.
Has anyone got xposed working?

Gapps
Do I need to flash gapps or is it included?
I'm currently using lineage is 16 with gapps. Do I need to flash gapps again if flashing a ROM again? Sorry I'm a newbie.

@Skulldron, thanks for the ROM, works great and it's stable. Just few things. Could you please update the Adaway app? There is a newer stable version on xda available. I tried to update it myself but it was not possible. Also could you please fix the Always on display function? The tap on screen option does not work.

As I experienced from other ROM that based on Note FE base, the Galaxy S7 cant show AOD with tap to show mode due to hardware problem, so please choose always show option on the setting

Flashing a different rom, I do like this rom but need xposed and it's annoying that YouTube and adaway are system apps.

Youtube and Adaway can be removed with System App remover or Link2sd from Play Store. Then you restart the S7 and install Adaway from github and Vanced.app

I do like this rom, espicially the first boot right after install, which was really fast, made an impression. Probably the most battery friendly and lite-weight One UI-Rom one can find. One usability problem for me was the *missing feature that increased touch sensitivity*. With my screenprotector on, I have to push harder and several times before successfully pulling down the notification bar or when writing or selecting.

Is it just me or is SmartSwitch taking a long time/not restoring messages? I get to the part when it would start restoring messages but then it just never loads.. other then that, the ROM is great!
