How To
[Installation]
Assuming you unlocked your bootloader and have TWRP
IF WIPED SYSTEM/USING AOSP/WANT TO ENABLE SECOND SIM ON G8141
Flash This with a newflasher
CONTINUE:
P.S. Keep a TWRP backup of stock rom on your phone, so you won't need to use newflasher again.
Install this on top of the stock/stock based rom (like Tomahawk Project)
Don't forget factory reset!
Links:
AFH
GDRIVE
CONTINUE:
[Freedom of choice]
FOR MAXIMUM SECURITY:
Keep it simple, without ROOT
Install F-Droid and explore open source world. Download APK and send it to your device. I removed browser, pick your own
At your own risk:
If you want download apps from playstore anonymously, try Aurora Store
Want to get accurate Network location and some of the Google apps working properly, then install this Magisk Module
To get Network Location working, signature spoofing is needed. You'll need this or this edXposed module
If you think my work was for nothing:
Install Gapps and never visit this thread again

Changelog
0.1
Initial release
0.2
Fixed broken GSM + Data

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

Short message for each of you.
This rom is a result of a project which aim to strip android back to it's core, so WE CAN BUILD IT THE WAY WE WANT IT. Not the way market researchers say we want it.
In short, this ROM is a prototype of community communication device.
Everyone can join the digital freedom project. I am sure each of us can help a cause.

Is ther any way to get real all the 4k working all time

Not real,but VM
If you set "apply on boot", you will notice that boot animation will become smaller ,but it's the same trickery as adb commands.

g8141 does not work, reboots right after sony logo no bootanimation.
p.s. flashed over .107 stock rom with twrp 3.2.3-0
edit: installation guide is a bit vague, do we MUST flash this? https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261694774
It says
IF WIPED SYSTEM/USING AOSP/WANT TO ENABLE SECOND SIM ON G8141
but I didn't wiped system nor using aosp nor want to enable second sim
second edit: Needs few reboots before booting to system, seems to work like intended.
Some suggestions:
Please find a solution to Automatic reboot when sim tray is removed, since I don't use dual sim and switch SD cards frequently it gets frustrating so fast. Thanks in advance.
Qualcomm Device Security still persists on this rom, it has an apk under vendor\app\QualcommTelemetry(?)
Video Enhancement is not working, at least on settings preview.
VERY USEFUL: Show charging current on lock screen, existenz rom had it.
Dark/Full Black System theme

Boot time is unacceptable, it takes around 2 minutes for normal boot, whereas even in a bloated stock it took around 30~ seconds. It is due to your framework changes and deodexing. However, I've been able to restore optimal boot time by changing all frameworks.

@undefine,
Yeah, boot time is longer because because of deodexing. Frameworks are untouched though in this rom.
If you want Video Enhancements, then you need to go back to android 8 and istall drm patch.... Since they fixed the camera on Pie nobody really bothers with other drm related things...
Agree on the dual sim reboot thing, it's annoying, but I have no idea how to disable it for now. If you really don't need to dual sim functionality then you can try flashing this rom on top of G8141 version and make sure you got kernel as well.
Theme is overlay, adding functionality to the lock-screen require modifying services.jar to disable signature (super user mod), both are security risks... You may flash existenz on top and remove what you don't need. At your own risk of course

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

I was thinking it might be possible to grab the modem partition from sprint or unlocked pie and write them over before installing this ROM. Would that work, or would it be incompatible?

I'm not sure, have not tried that. I've read others suggesting the same thing but don't know if they've had success with it. I'd bet it wouldn't as there are so many threads, in various model phones, about which rom supports which bands. If that problem could be resolved by simply using the modem partition from a diff rom, it happening would almost certainly be common knowledge and many threads with various modem partitions available, but there aren't.

Ended up trying it and it prevents boot to system and recovery. I replaced all 4. modemst1,modemst2,modem_a,modem_b
I think we'll have to wait for them to make Q for v405qa unlocked.
I used v405ebw with lineage 18. VoLTE and VoWiFi aren't supported, which basically makes Mint Mobile unusable except for data.

I'd suggest another option, as 405qa Q arrival is ???, use the korean open 30e. That's what I have. One mod makes it quite workable; copy the US Open /OP partition (from Pie) and use it instead of the KR Open partition. Everything works, including vowifi and volte. And it does get b71. There's only 1 other small change needed to get vowifi to work.
It's very solid and haven't had any trouble with it at all. Something to consider.

I just found out that a great deal of work can be done with Cellular Support via the Qualcomm PDC tool.

Can you link the Korean open download? Also, what is the small change for VoWiFi?

Yes it's on this link. It's at the top of the list, the KR Open, 30e is the last one in the beginning section.
The other change is minor, have to enter the service menu with the dial code and it's one of the SVC (iirc) fields you have to enable vowifi. I can find it if you decide to do it.
There's a little 'trick' u need to do when cross flashing, to avoid the 'NT_Error' thing when u first boot up. It doesn't cause a problem, it's just annoying. Just after doing a partition DL of the rom, let it boot of course, to finish. Then shut it off, don't touch anything. Then use LG up and do a refurbish with same rom. No more nt-error code thing.
Also, even though the firmware page (above) doesn't indicate it, that rom does have b71. I have a screen shot of the phone using lte discovery connected to b71 on that rom. It's there.

I'm trying to boot TWRP. When I run
Code:
fastboot boot judypn_TWRP_bootable-metadata.img
it reads out this:
Code:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.942s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.946s
This is after flashing the Korean Open version. I'm not sure what to do. I made sure USB Debugging was on and changed the driver to the official LGE one, but no luck.

I tried everything on google. Still no luck.

You should get fastboot working via 9008 guide (I suggest not to wipe lafs on both slots), then fastboot TWRP.

If you install this apk (only on los), it will allow you to switch to the other side and reboot recovery. It's hard coded (I changed the original file) to boot to recovery after you select the other slot. Did it for the exact situation you're experiencing.

Hello forum!
I have LG LM-V405QA and would like to have a ROM flashed that removes all Google everything. I have flashed ROMs in the past, but have already spent too much time researching with no results. I am in California, USA.
This is a serious inquiry. Please help.
Thank you.

About bloatwares there are many threads on XDA and on the internet explaining how to remove Google and Samsung bloatwares with adb command with many lists of apps you can remove or disable by yourself.
For rooting and at present time there is only one way to do it and it's all explained in my tutorial you can find here :
UPDATED : How to root Galaxy A52S 5G (SM-A528B)

forum.xda-developers.com
You can find the latest magisk-v24.0.apk in post #174 so skip the one I posted in OP...
For optimization, as this is a new phone and as no one can propose the kind of optimizations you expect and as rooting is "experimental", you have to do optimizations by yourself... ^^
By "experimental root" I meant root is actually working fine, BUT Magisk is going on a new way as Magisk Hide is missing or not working as it should !!!
I did explain all this in my tutorial.
There is no TWRP available yet for this phone and thus no custom ROM either... ^^

Why dont you try an GSI of android 12 that might work out but then no root or optimizations

This has been fix with my tutorial and @beanbean50 confirms he rooted his Galaxy Fold 3 with his camera working.
I have seen this term many times but still don't understand the meaning of GSI... ^^
Click to expand...

GSI means Generic System Image. These kind of ROMs work on any device running android 8.0 or higher and support A-Only or A/B partitions.
Advantages
Faster Updates
No TWRP Needed (Only Fastboot Needed or Odin in Samsung Phones)
Disadvantages
Only 95% of the gsi may work
There might be a lot of bugs and issues

no dependancies twrp to custom rom (one can be created without other and vice versa) , indeed are several recovery (lineage,pitch black, orage fox) for custom rom , theoretically could be installed by odin. telephone is not so new (august 2021), has chipset 778 (febraury 2021) . Samsung UI , it's heavy and with some bugs or limitataion (randomly camera not working with bl unlocked, call reacording not enabled if you dont' flash uae rom). You explain so many , many works that custom rom can resolve with snap. That's why good Custom rom always better than other 10000 tiny, boring and time spendig jobs

NOPE !!!
You thought I didn't test Zygist before posting the different variants of Magisk till Magisk v24 ??? lol
Magisks post v23 were mostly written for the Oppo, Xiaomi and then Nexus/Pixel devices, but Samsung Galaxy devices were not taking into account in the devs's priority if not at all !
I follow most of the discussions in the development of the Magisk forks and no one even owns a Samsung devices or even care about Samsung.
There was a bug in Magisk v23 that causes bootloop in most newer Android devices (a fstab story) and instead of simply patching Magisk, they decided to take Magisk all apart with a fork for Oppo, another one for Xiaomi and then one for the Nexus/Pixel all with a different philosophy... Instead of Magisk Hide which was removed, then created new concepts of "Deny List" and/or "White list" but which work differently from the previous Magisk Hide !!!
Zygist doesn't work, or at least not with the Samsung Galaxy !!!
- First, it disables riru framework and EdXposed/LSposed modules and thus all modules based on them won't work anymore such as XprivacyLua, Firefds Kit and some others... Only AfWall++ continues working...
- Then, once rooted with magisk with Zygist on, I couldn't get any protected Samsung apps working such as Secure Folder, Samsung Health is working only partly as I can run it once but I can't access to it anymore unless I reboot the phone. Samsung Health is working in the background as I can see its notification and the number of steps I walked during the day (...), but once again I can't access to the inner of the apps and I don't have access to the health parameters... Samsung Pay also won't work and others I don't use...
ATM I'm still fighting with Android studio to understand how I can build my own Magisk app for the Samsung Galaxy devices...

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

RayOS S21FE Port for Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G​Here 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!​

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.

FAQ​Q: 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.

Edit: found the reason. An ad blocker app I installed added a vpn entry in my phone. I uninstalled the app and presto all working good now.

Cool. Very complete tutorial. Tnx bro

Can I flash it over stock 11? I have Polish PRT, which seems to be OXM.
Just got device and dunno what to start with - stock XEO rooted or this?
Question is if it will be maintained, so any updates will be available

I'll try to maintain it but don't expect monthly security updates. It's such a pain to try and release updates monthly on my part.

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.

Question what about twrp guys? :(

hello everyone, i want to buy this devie but as i see i cant install twrp!

The OnePlus 9 pro is good for customizing!

@Evon88, the fact is, TWRP hasn't been updated to properly support Android 12, at least not on the 9 Pro, and I'm beginning to suspect that it never will be. IMHO, it looks to me like encryption and other issues introduced by Google have simply gotten the best of the TWRP team. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, and will be pleasantly surprised if TWRP is updated to work with Android 12 and above, but right now, that remains in the realm of wishful thinking.
The good news is that the recoveries included with most Android 12 ROMs (based on the AOSP recovery) are functional, and are capable of doing the minimum work of flashing new ROMs and upgrades (i.e. Magisk and Gapps) just like TWRP. They certainly don't have the wealth of features that TWRP has (such as the ability to wipe only the data partition without erasing the media partition; it's either all or nothing), but then, they weren't designed to have them. I keep hoping that someone will take the AOSP recovery and use it as a base for a recovery that includes more of TWRP's features. (I'd do it if I had the knowledge. I'm knowledgeable enough to poke at AOSP and cherry pick features to create a custom ROM, but the intimate knowledge required to work with the recovery code is something I don't have.)

You can in fact install and boot TWRP. But you can't do almost anything in it... But this isn't OP9P problem but every phone with Android 12 and encryprion enabled. But as other said, TWRP isn't needed for flashing custom ROMs.

Don't let lack of twrp hold you back. It's a fun phone. I use it for gaming (CODM) on Android 11.2.10.10 just fine. I may end up flashing an old build of crDroid for Android 11 but I'm pretty happy with how everything is set up on regular OOS now and don't want to lose L1 and start back over.

There's a user/team on the >OnePlus 6 & 6T forums<, that has had success with Android 12 and 13 decrypt, I use it on my 6T, and decrypt works flawlessly, I use it to flash Magisk when changing/updating ROMs.
It's Unofficial however, I hope it trickles to other devices.

All of them are made in china and I think will be good quality OnePlus phone. I don't know if they use anything different (except rom). You can change from colorOS to oxygenOS

Needed, maybe not. Desired, definitely. It can do a lot of things that the stock and AOSP recoveries simply can't (to name just one: it can wipe data without wiping storage, as I mentioned above; stock/AOSP recoveries' "factory reset" wipe destroys everything).

I was on LE2127_11_C20 A12 with tarp and root.......the mail reason it worked was no lock screen security. I did try with setting a password is be cause a script to try and make partitions R/W but that put me in a bootloader loop. Went back to 11.2.9.9..
