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!

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

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.

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).

[Custom Rom]KangVIP Rom-date (update 16.05.)closed

As always, use at your own risk!
Because my English is not very, I can only use Google to translate. I hope it's still understandable.
This is Rome for the MT7-L09 and the Asian MT7-L10, base is the Asian. Previous experience it only runs on and the MT7 - L09. KangVIP offers to Rome but also for other versions.
prerequisite:
The boot loader must be open and installed CWM. In addition, you should the B127 MT7-L09 Western Europe or the B122SP06 installed, otherwise it will get to the bootloop.
- B121-SP02A1
- B122SP06v1.1
- B122SP06v1.2
- B123SP03
(When you first start there must be a data connection, as King User (SuperSU) is updated. Otherwise, no root!)
- B125SP01(Does not work with Vodafone!)
(Here SuperSU.zip must be installed as King user (root) is no longer in it!)
Themespatch
- B125 V2(Does not work with Vodafone!)
420DPI Patch
- B125 V2.1(Does not work with Vodafone!)
420 DPI Patch
- B126SP03(Does not work with Vodafone!)
Quelle
installation:
- The best, but not a must, you use the KangVIP CWM.
- Download Rom and the Mate7. Whether internal or external SD does not matter.
optional
- Secure with Titanium Backup everything.
- Copy the Play Store app (Phonesky.apk) from system / priv app on the memory card, as in this version lacks. Then just copy back into CWM cache and Dalvik wipen.
- Booting into the CWM and make a backup.
- Make Fatory reset.
- Now the install Zip.
- Restart the device.
Alternatively, install Google Apps:
PA_Gapps Modular Pico (35MB)
(the wichtigstens Gapps for calendar sync, PlayStore, etc.)
or
Banks Gapps on XDA
(different packages with additional Gapps)
Those coming from Rome KangVIP B121-SP02A1, it can iron directly over it. All settings and data are retained.
Who backed up with Titanium Backup can backup his (No system apps are written in red!) To play back.
The first start takes a little longer. At the first window you will have everything in Asian, patience, switches. Then there is the normal installation.
Go to Rome, for me it runs without problems.
Advantage (my opinion):
- Deodexd
- Use the Advanced Settings (unte settings) can be removed network operator name or enter another name. It is possible to change battery indicator / Hide. Clock can be centered or hidden. It is an advanced power menu available. And much more.
cons:
Do I still have not found.
To mention:
Since I'm at the Telekom I can not comment as it looks (800 Mhz) with LTE. For me, LTE is running. When choosing one can not choose anything too. I suspect that it has to do with the dual capability of the original version and probably Sim are two assigned.
The Asian contained programs, they can all be safely deleted.
Xposed (2.4.1) and modules run.
This note is that then the themes do not work!
If you want to return, simply play through CWM backup back.
My thanks go to KangVIP.

finally...
Thanks... I'll try this as soon as I got some free time... Maybe the weekend...

Better ask before ok and uncertainty.

Hi Fooox1
Here you are for the first question...
At the moment I have B130... Should I downgrade to B127?

No, 127 is the minimum requirement. Can use the 130.

It is the best rom for Mate 7
I use the month. Good job Fooox1 by topic

Can I just verified and can not be fooled by the 122 corresponds to the 127.

Thanks Fooox1. Nice to see a new rom. I 'll try it durring weekend. Curious
EDIT:
Well... I gave it a go. Easy to install with no problems. Works fine, but even if I choose English language there are a lot of Chinese things in there.
I did't notice any difference in speed. Maybe in Antutu benchmarks (but I forgot to run it).
Finally I restored my previews backup only because of the Chinese that I cannot understand

tried and...
Thanks again to fooox1 for posting instructions how to...
To be honest it's really simple and I did not found any problem to install the custom rom.
Unfortunately - as already noticed by freco - still there's a lot of Chinese stuff (probably bloatware for the largest part). More importantly the virtual keyboard it quite different as it includes (obviously) Chinese I was really in trouble to use it....
After a couple of hours, I restored the recovery backup... and I'm waiting for lollipop update
Ciao..

I can not confirm your problems unfortunately. The Chinese programs can all be deleted. When the keyboard is Google doing. Also works without hesitation. Have the Mate switched to English, also because there is no Chinese characters.
Made possible, impatient maintains her when you first start, after flashing. Here you should wait at the first window until it changes from China to the appropriate language and then set on.

Even if I changed language, restart, finish setup, restart, there are still chinese characters in several places and search boxes.
Otherwise everything works perfect.

Can you give me a position exactly, then I can check with me. The one where me is something shows up at the Apollo player, with the name. But only affects ü, ä, ß, etc.

I cannot. Sorry.
I already switched back to my older backup.

No Problem. I invite tomorrow once the high 1.2.

Question: will gravitybox work with this ROM? Xposed modules can't override the stock theme on the stock ROM at all. If Xposed modules like gravitybox work well then I'll definitely install this ROM when I get a chance

Yes, running like the Stock Rom. Nothing more, nothing less. The Rom yes the Stock base.

i love it , theres more option than my European stock rom!!

Update B125SP01.

Need rom please

I have been browsing the forums for quite some time now and I have tried alot of roms. Every rom I have tried, has failed or is no longer supported. Can anyone reading this post please share a link or any other information regarding this help. I have the 5110 version note I appreciate all the help I can get.

I forced myself to break away and lightly customize a stock ROM made for a provider. It is the only stock ROM that has stagefright fix which is way cool, and a few other usabililty fixes as well. Must allow security update to patch, it helps correct a few wee bugs.
The big issue... you are forced to keep a new boot loader, and cannot revert to any previous Stock ROM, and must deal with boot loader compatibilities unknown by builders as they have stopped with any new builds .
Downside, the new bootloader effects various Root functions. But newer Super Su, Boeffla utility, and other updated older Xposed modules seem to help with the new boot loader. Plus Default Apps no longer lists, but they can be managed through App Manager.
A custom SecSettings from a Note 2 (S5 varient) will bring back the Default Apps function plus many hidden settings options built in thus latest OEM build.
So, if you want all the bells and whistles, you will have to deal with the bugs, no matter how big or how small.
Now to explain what features I had with Gnabo v8 SE that I don't miss at all.
Mag UX, Tab Keyboard, Spen Air Command, 160dpi, Multi boot menu, and enhanced wallpaper picker.
Features I have and use, and are bug free but need a system UI to use them... tested with a custom Note 2 Secsettings that has some issues because it is a S5 variant and made for Note 2 specifically.
Colorblind, Interaction Control, Face Lock (came with my OEM build), Grey Scale (built in partially with new build, but S3 neo System UI is the key), Apps from a broken and defunct custom ROM for the N5110, Quick Connect 1.6.5.
My issues are minimal, but seem to be plagued by the new boot loader more than the ported apps.
Miracast works best, 3 minutes after reboot. WiFi is not stable after using hooked VPN apps of any type. Disabling WiFi for a minute and re enabling corrects the issue 80% of the time. A reboot may need to be done if WiFi is buggy. Reboots are 75% trouble free. Sometimes you get a fast boot soon after system UI loads, sometimes you get GMS forced closes, and must reboot.
It may be because of Triangle Away not being upgraded to work with newer boot loaders, or SU still needs some tweaks to work around the latest build by Samsung.
If I were stubborn I would stick with Gnabo v8 SE and it's patches and run Boeffla kernel, and just deal with 160dpi. But I am comfy with what I did even though the 75% boot issues and Miracast functionality being effected by WiFi with VPN apps.
I have given options for assistance by ROM builders in copying my ROM for building a unique custom one, but because I am using some apps that may be from a closed off ROM to builders, respect to the owners must be made. So it will be all for personal use at most.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I guess stock with some tweaks here and there isn't that bad afterall

as of late beoffla kernal utility works smoothly with its latest update.
Also I noticed better boot ups, so most of my boot issues are from beoffola utility with the new boot loader.
Plus, I had to manually remove earth, as google's earth app is busted for 218 220 dpi on the new rom. Google pushes that version from play store without installing the busted version. I downloaded he nodpi version and run it, just unable to update it through play store.
Also wifi seems to operate smoother changing from miracast, and vpn apps. again beoffola utility finally has gotten it right, to use on newer boot loaders, and the lastest OEM ROM.

UPDATED 6/17/17 [ROM] The Arko Project G3 Edition (6.0-MM-30D)(LG-D851)

Welcome to The Arko Project
About The Arko Project: I first started this project on the LG G5 when development was still slow for that device. That version as well as a version for the LG G Stylo was never released publicly due to image burn from a botched deodex attempt, and coffee respectively. I had been on the forum's for a while at that point, and seeing the amount of devices being locked down was worrying to me. I wanted to give back to the community in some small way of my own. While learning as much as possible along the way. While also helping others do the same. I haven't had any formal education in programming or android. just what I've managed to pick up, and learn (I still am learning). It has been a long journey (as well as a humbling one), but it is not over yet. Nor do I believe it ever will be for me. There is always more to learn. That said I test run every build to make sure it's stable, and reliable before releasing.
However as with any Modification to your device: Your warranty will voided, and I am not responsible for direct or indirect damage to your device(s), and no warranty of any kind is given, or implied. You flash this rom or any other modifications linked in this thread at YOUR OWN RISK.
please read all installation instructions, and warnings. It also wouldn't hurt to read through the thread if anyone had posted.
I couldn't have dreamed of this being possible without the help of these great members of our community
@SuperR. (For his Amazing work with SuperR's Kitchen) @HPTesla for giving me tips, and information as to getting started) @Chainfire (For SuperSU) @bcrichster (For help with ota's)@cesarandres_8911 (For encouragement, and help with adding rounded corners)
If I by chance forgot anyone please let me know, and I'll add you to the op.

Notes
1*Deodexed: I did not personally deodex this rom, nor do I know if the Stock rom was even odexed. I pulled the system/boot images from my phone running 30d after downgrading from 30e to gain root. (If someone could enlighten me on this matter I would be grateful.) Edit: Rom was deodexed from oem.

3*Integrated apps: Xposed Installer, SuperSU, and Adaway all have their launcher icon removed. I have no idea if an update will break that (Although my guess is probably) SuperSU however remains in the launcher as well as in settings. So if you don't want to see it then you'll have to hide it manually for now. SuperSU should now be hidden also. (Adaway is version 57. I got an error recompiling version 60. You can update manually if you like, but it will probably break the hidden launcher icon.)
4*Custom Boot Animation: Please be forgiving. I have very, very little graphic design experience, but managed to pull something that I think looks halfway decent that was made frame by frame, and took a considerable amount of time. (Also I ran into an issue with the phone only displaying the images after a couple of folders so there are a couple of empty ones.)
That being said this whole project has taken a considerable amount of time. I like most others work 40+ hours a week. I am open to criticism, as long as it is constructive, and done in a polite way.

Added Apps:
LG Quick Remote (Couldn't find the latest version so it still needs to be updated from "App Updates" in Settings if you want the latest version available for our phones.)
I'll try to see if I can't just add the update apk in the next update, but it's odexed for some reason. I'll see what I can do though.
Consider this a mini test run for updating Gapps and the like. I tried updating Google Play services and the Playstore, but got force closes. So those will still have to be updated manually I plan on updating more apps in furture updates.
Readded:
Chrome
Permissive su.d script (In preparation for hopeful approval to add Viper for android into the rom.)

Awesome thanks for trying it out. Let me know if you have any issues.

I'm probably let the Rom sit for a week, and make sure there isn't anything that needs to be fixed right away. I've xposed installer fc's on boot, but haven't seen one in a while. Either way it still opens, and works fine. I used it to install all my xposed tweaks.
I'll probably start working on a very basic ui theme. Mainly navbar, qs toggles notification shade etc. Then I'll look into the 4 way reboot. I've seen some old sammy threads searching on xda. We'll see if the same principle will work for lg.
Also if anyone would like to help test new builds let me know.

Will also let it sit for awhile and settle in. Preliminary go-through was okay. No issues other than that initial Xposed Installer FC.
Just want to confirm that the Xposed Framework is _not_ installed? Installer said it was not which caused me to get a little confused at first.
Now that I've had a look at what is and is not included I can reflash and setup properly. Essentially the same way as I do Nimax Slim Fit, Tekcafe, and Fulmics.
This is UX4? I forget. Last year I realized the old G3 TweaksBox themes for LP work on MM just fine. I used a few just to liven things up a bit on two ROMs running UX4.

No the framework itself isn't preinstalled. Just the new installer. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by UX4? If you let me know how I can find out. I'll let you know though. Also I never used g3 tweaksbox's theme engine myself, but if it works just let me know. I'm looking at options for managing my future themes, as decompiling, and retheming every one after an update would be tedious. Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it. ?

Sorry about the UX4 questions. Brain is scattered. I forget that some of the stock-based ROMs out there have incorporated the user interface, launcher, and whatnot from elsewhere like the G4 or G5. Also forgetting that Arko is essentially straight stock, debloated. A good thing.
EDIT: The following had all kinds of goodies, mostly G5 compatible stuff with some stock G3 compatible mods. Maybe the dev over there can help out on the theming front.

I've found this guide:https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038675
For a bunch of different samsung mods while searching for info on 4 way reboot. 4wr however is my main focus as having it could save a lot of time rebooting to recovery, and what not. I'm having issues getting a custom zip with a minor colors.xml change to test if that would work vs having to manually edit pngs & 9pngs. It flashes fine but won't boot past the animation.
I probably won't have time to look into it too much this week as I'm going to begin the process of moving, but most of my spare time if not spent working on the rom. Is spent reading about rom related things, and trying to learn as much as I can. Thank guys ?.

Thought I would post an update on the 4 way reboot progress.
I have finally managed to find the right dl links to the latest est smali/baksmali and new commands baksmalied services.jar (formally com.android.policy.jar) and found where to paste the smali resource files. Now as far as I can tell the are rather old. Probably even pre kk not sure. Assuming they work however (Not really expecting it hoping, but not expecting lol). They only issue will be finding the right GlobalAction number for the reboot button. The thread I linked to ealier said something about possibly being able to find it by tracking mreboot (have absolutely no clue.) I'm just gonna try the number listed in the guide,and go from there. If anyone knows how to find it however let me know. Thanks guys. ?

I let my phone go dead last night, and upon recharging my double tap to wake isn't functioning dt2sleep is. As well as google now isn't opening links. It grays slightly, and that's it.
I don't know if they are related, but I'm planning on hopefully releasing a new build with just minor changes. Volume steps mostly. So I may just reflash the boot.img, and see if that helps. If it does I'll make a zip, and post it here in case it happens to anyone.
I know updates have been far, and few inbetween lately. That's because I'm working on some android n dev courses I bought through xda-depot, and having to work a bit of overtime as well.
I haven't given up though just have a lot to do, and too little time to do it in. Lol. Thanks guys.
Edit: I also tried to start it up before charging and it made it to the homescreen with 1% and killed over. So that may also have something to do with it.
Edit 2: I discovered at least one other person was experiencing issues with google now as well, after a few reboots the dt2w starting working just fine. I haven't been able to finish the new build as I'm setting up a new enviroment. Got a desktop pc with a intel core 2 quad cpu 2.4 GHz 2.3GHz
5 gigs of ram, and nvidia quadro fx 570 with 256 mb dvram.
I plan on upgrading this pc quite a bit, but until it exceeds my quadcore laptop. I'll be running linux on my laptop, and windows on the desktop. Now all I need is KVM switch. Once my desktop can handle it I'll probably build with linux on a vm.
In case you're wondering I do all my apk editing/building/coding in windows.

Hey all I was hoping to have a the new build up today, but I haven't been able to make it because after setting up my new desktop the hd went bad so I had to have it replaced. I'm gonna start resetting up tonight when I get off of work. So I'll hopefully have it uploaded by Thursday, or Friday.
Edit: The vm took a little while longer to get set up, but rest assured I'm working on it. I'll get the new build up as soon as I can. Thanks guys.

New build is up guys. Enjoy!

Hi sorry for the late reply. I didn't get a notification, and my computer has been in the shop. Wi fi calling works just fine as far as I'm aware, but let me know if you run into any issues & let me know if you try it out. Thanks!

The loss of my G3's SD slot has curtailed my ROM flashing. No longer able to have half a dozen ROMs running on the phone but I still had enough internal space to try.
TAP runs fine. Data, Bluetooth, WiFi okay. Went through all the settings. All good.
GApps are ancient but that's okay I guess.
Needs some kind of file manager though. I like to setup Google later during ROM testing so I usually need to install certain tools first. Not possible via the ROM's DocumentsUI. I think the only flashable file manager I have is CM's. It might work.
About to flash ROM again with some extras and give 'er a longer test.
Oh, almost forgot. An OTA update of about 75MB came through. Not gonna take it, of course, but was surprised to see it.

Android 12 personal build

If somebody wanna to try my personal build of phh treble A12 with 01/05/22 security patch let me know and we figure out how to share. Keep in mind I don’t use Telegram .
Some info:
it's made with mind for regular use of device as phone not fancy or gaming machine.
Sms,calls,voip calls,navigation priority for me.Very slim rom!
I’m not put here some warning – you already understand all risk when using custom roms! Right? If not what are you doing here!
In short - phh aosp gsi and all credits to him and team.
Tested and adjusted for Nord10 5G BE86AA ATT provider, vendors 11.02 and 11.03, not rooted unlocked bootloaders.
Runs already w/o trouble over 2 mnts on 2 phones.
English only (no localization), diff keyboard layouts works,su, rw system, MicroG with sig spoofing, bromite webview,patched Captive portal (read here),
Cloudflare dns,dev option enabled, soft display option.
Removed useless overlays for phone, fixed voip call sound,ims, prefered network 5G enable, media sound over BT works.
Voip calls tested on Signal,Wire and WhatsUp with domestic and oversea calls.
My bank app working fine,gMaps works (but I’m using Magic Earth),fingerprint,otg-usb,Bluetooth in 2 cars,bluetooth to my pc.
I left pph treble app in case.
Many small changes, some hard coded some in build.props
I don’t use any google stuff or g Pay ,Amazon pay or any other pays so don’t know would it work or not. If you need it get something like pe and enjoy google+aftermarket s**t.
Only Foss apps
You need Calendar,Calculator,Messenger if you don’t like Signal (preinstalled) and good Music app.
I’m personally using Signal,Wire and Element, my wife Signal,Whatsup,security camera apps w/o trouble. Some apks not upstream versions.
I'm old school Linux guy - don't fix if it works is my philosophy. But on rw system you easily can rm and install what ever you like or update from Fdroid.

Interested

Its only for OnePlus Nord N10 5G (BE2026/BE2029 - codename - billie)
download SYSTEM IMG and copy img to folder GSI-FLASHER and rename it to

I'm sorry I am really confused about the right method coming from a samsung device where the procedure was quite different. Dont I need vbmeta.img or something? Inside the file the installation method is as below:
unlock bootloader,no root needed.
Tested on android 11.02/11.03 vendor, not sure about 10
RW version.
from terminal:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system nord-S-RW.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Enjoy!
Some times take upto 5 min to boot,
if not try restart again
Which method do I use?

If you have BE2026/BE2029 then all is inside my zip....
Only copy system.img into GSI-FLASHER and start flash-device.bat
(with unlocked bootloader and phone booted in fastboot - volume down + up + power)
thats all

Development [CLOSED][EOL][Odin Installable][ROM][OneUI 4.1] RayOS S21FE for Galaxy A52s 5G

RayOS S21FE Port for Samsung Galaxy A52s 5GHere we go again. I can't live without S21FE system, so now I ported it to my newest device, the Galaxy A52s 5G. It was a little bit more tricky with limited options when it comes to recovery, but it's now available. Since TWRP isn't released yet, I packaged it together to flash with Odin. I've tested it myself and it works for me, but as everything in XDA in uncertain, flash at your own risk.
Code:
* Warning, your warranty is now void.
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about flashing this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. HARD!
Supported variants!
SM-A528B
Features!
Based on S21 FE June firmware (G990U1UEU3CVF2)
Debloated
DeX working (wireless and wired to PC via USB)
Live Blur
Allow screenshots on secure apps
Fixed Private Share and Secure Wifi
Fixed Secure Folder
Fixed Smart View (normally broken on rooted devices)
Smart Widgets (Already on S21FE FW by default)
Object eraser (Already on S21FE FW by default)
Remaster picture (Already on S21FE FW by default) [Avoid updating any app related to Gallery or you might lose this option]
Edge Lighting fully enabled (Already on S21FE FW by default)
Higher audio quality (Disabled DRC, which deeply compresses audio)
High-End Animations (Already on S21FE FW by default)
Enhanced processing (this also probably doesn't do anything, but give it a try) (Already on S21FE FW by default)
CSC Features like:
Stock call recording
Speed meter on status bar
Spam call blocker
Added camera privacy toggle to remove camera access across apps (Already on S21FE FW by default)
Added HDR10+ lines (improves effect in HDR content)
Screenshots!Soon...
Sources!I decided to show my work so to speak on GitHub. You can see the list of all the apps I removed and all the lines that were added to camera and floating features. Feel free to take a look and make pull requests if you want me to add something on potential future releases.
https://github.com/ShaDisNX255/RayOS-S21FE-Port
Kernel source: Samsung Open Source
Bugs!
Remaster picture breaks if you update system apps with Galaxy Store. I still don't know the exact app update that breaks this (it's not Gallery) but you have been warned.
SSRM Warning on every reboot. You can bypass this by flashing the SSRM Warning Removal magisk module in this thread. Will hopefully add this fix natively on future updates
You tell me
Changelog!
18/July/2022: Release based on June S21 FE Firmware (G990U1UEU3CVF2)
Links!
RayOS S21FE for Galaxy A52s 5G
Odin 3.14.1 (Give thanks in the original post)
Instructions!
This will wipe your phone, including media. So backup any media you may have on the phone.
Extract all the files using 7-Zip
Make sure you've correctly unlocked your bootloader
Reboot phone into download mode
Place each AP, BL, CP and CSC in their respective locations
Flash
Odin will reboot your phone once complete
Done
Recover camera!Samsung software locked the camera on the a52s for some reason. It's easy to bypass, just change the props to anything else [A52 4G should work, but you can chose literally anything other than A52s to make it work]
For those who are less knowledgeable on how to do it, here's a quick guide:
Install the Magisk app from the official GitHub releases (The fw is already Magisk patched, so just installing the app normally should give you root access)
Download the Magisk Props Config Magisk module from their thread (make sure you give them a like on the thread)
Install a terminal emulator (Termux recommended from Playstore)
Install the Magisk Props Config module using Magisk
Reboot
Open your terminal emulator and type su to give it root permission
Type props and it should take you to the props menu
Select Edit device fingerprint (option 1)
Select Pick a certified fingerprint (option f)
Select Samsung (option 26) and select any model you want (It can be Android 11 or 12, doesn't matter)
After selecting a model, it should ask you to reboot
After reboot, your camera should work. If it doesn't work, force stop it and delete any data it may have already saved and then try again.

FAQQ: Will this work on A52 4G or A52 5G?
A: No, I included A52s 5G specific vendor with hw libs. This will only work on A52s 5G. There is already an A52 4G version here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s21fe-port-for-galaxy-a52-sm-a525g-f.4454855/
Q: Will this work on A73?
A: I have no clue. I've been told HW is very similar with a few lib exceptions but I honestly have no interest on supporting this device. Anyone else is free to try and flash and fix it for A73, you've got my support.
Q: How can I report a bug?
A: Try and be as detailed as possible on how you encountered the bug. If you can include a logcat then even better. The more information provided the more likely it is to get the bug fixed.

Enjoy guys!
Sorry if you get bombarded with bloat at initial set-up. I deleted the apps but they still show up. The good thing is that 90% of them are uninstall-able by long pressing and installing them from home
Hope I can get them fully removed on future updates.

Yoooo a Custom ROM pooog! OneUI based, but at least something! Not gonna flash right now, I'm on vacation and don't have access to Odin, but maybe later.

HAHA second, going to give this a try, keep you informed....

Dohh thanks man i will try it tomorrow

I already tested the og version of this and it was really good. Fantastic work. Follow instructions and try it you'll like it! Dex ftw!

I have this installed, gone through most of my prefered setup steps. Only thing I've noticed so far is connection to pages and setups requiring connections is extremely slow. Google timed out. XDA timed out. Whatsapp was slow with verification code and accessing drive backup. Otherwise all else is going ok so far.

Give it a few minutes to settle. Usually it should take about 10 minutes for everything to pick up.

Can I flash it over stock 11? I have Polish PRT, which seems to be OXM.

No need to monthly. It's already half a year as I'm updating my Note 20 Ultra to A12 of Ketans rom xD
But sometimes, once a while, updates could happen

"Recover camera!" - it should happen on all devices, or not?
It's just that when I launched Camera right after first boot and setup it gave me fail message, but since 2nd launch of the app it works fine and I'm not sure if I still should follow this procedure or I'm just one of the lucky ones that my camera is nor broken?

Hard to tell since we don't know the exact culprit of losing the camera. If camera works for you then you can skip this. But, if you want to pass safetynet this will be necessary since there is a fingerprint miss-match between system and vendor.
