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
Q: Will this work on A73 5G?
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.
Q: Can I flash this ROM without wiping my phone (dirty flash)?
A: There have been reports of this being successful, but I never do it myself. I always try to use the same bases to make the ROMs so in theory it can be done similar to an OTA update. All up to you, a clean wipe is always recommended for the best performance.
Q: Help, I'm getting "secure check fail :" what should I do?
A: This is usually an error produced by mismatch in bootloader and the ROM images. To fix this, the easiest way is to install the latest stock firmware or the firmware best close to the version of the ROM you want to install (install February 2023 firmware if you want to install NcX February 2023 or install stock March 2023 firmware if you want to install NcX March 2023...etc...)
Q: Why aren't OTA updates installed automatically?
A: There's a bit of unfortunate news regarding this. Current OTA updates depend on TWRP's openrecoveryscript which seem to be broken on the latest TWRP official releases on both my A52s and A52. I don't like bothering TWRP devs or maintainers so I've passed on reporting it because it's really not widely used and for some reason stuff like crDroid OTA works fine on it. It could be that I'm working with outdated code but I'm not skilled enough to fix it.
If you want to keep using the latest TWRP, the way you install OTA's is following:
Download the update when available
When pressing Install, it should reboot to recovery. If it doesn't because you don't have Magisk installed, reboot to recovery manually
Once in recovery, select Flash on TWRP or directly navigate to the following directory with OrangeFox
sdcard/Android/data/com.mesalabs.ten.update/files
Flash the zip in the directory and wait for update to finish
[Optional] Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Reboot to system
If you want to use an outdated TWRP with openrecoveryscript working fine (which I really don't recommend unless you only want to use NcX and not any other ROMs), you can install the attached TWRP build which is unofficial and should not be used for any AOSP ROMs. The only benefit you'll get is that OTAs will get installed automatically.
This may be fixed in the future but for now, this is the current state of OTA updates

Tnx I am downloading i hope it will work, can i ask you something,. How can i flash via orangefox recovery to have every application and data of application on phone and install the new rom?
I flashed the ROM and after that I dont have root and custom recovery idk how to fix it now...
Hi @ShaDisNX255 ! Question,
Android 13 Bootloader (Android 12 BL may break camera features)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does that mean that we should first update Firmware/ROM to Android 13 through Odin for us without OTA Updates?
Also
Enhanced pocessing (this also probably doesn't do anything, but give it a try) (Already on S21FE FW by default)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is this function just a kernel scheduling policy? I mean, do we get full performance anyways?
Been waiting on this release for a while
Definitely worth the wait. Easily the best custom ROM for the A52s
Two days into this ROM and so far its stable and good for a daily driver. Battery life is comparable to stock A52s rom. I got 5hrs average SOT, I'm a heavy user. It's just the boot time is longer than usual but it's just a minor issue.
Also, why the name ncx?

I've been told tha tall you need is to flash BL_ from Android 13 and you should be fine but I'd flash all the fw with Odin tbh and then re-root all over again (install custom recovery)

chocowilliam said:

No particular reason
the black ring that appears around the front camera is gone, the ring being gone makes the camera barely usable in low light, hiding the hole punch in the settings reduces the problem a bit but not entirely, other than that its working great and i haven't encountered any bug
I wanna install this rom but I cant access international storage in twrp on a13 bl any fix for this problem ?
AppLock crashes when pattern lock type is selected. Also, where can I find the custom additional power options like reboot to recovery?
So far battery life has been improved.

AppLock will be removed, doesn't work well. The advanced reboot options will probably be added until next update
I see. I thought the advanced reboot options was just moved somewhere. Regarding about the AppLock, can it be atleast an optional choice? I'd still love to use it .
ss please

Installing this Rom will void warranty. Installing TWRP will trip knox to 0x1! Secure folder and Samsung Pay will be unusable
Hey folks! I bet you know me from the S7/S7 Edge forums
I did/I'm still doing some work there with the SuperStock-Rom (which is quite similar to this rom here on the S8+ actually), or the probably most known Rom on the S7 edge: SuperMan-Rom. So, what's the aim of this rom? Trying to be as close to stock as possible with some nice modifications as: Always up to date, knox fake, auto updated bootloader/modem. You can check full feature list below!
And why the name "BatStock-Rom"? I will do a custom rom (which has similar features to my SuperMan-Rom) with the name "BatMan-Rom" that's why.
Rom Features V1.1.1:
- Based on latest AQF7
- Latest AQF7stock kernel or BatStock Kernel
- June security patch
- SuperSU V282 SR1, Phh superuser or MagiskSU
- Magisk v13
- Rom is full ODEX for better speed
- Gear VR working
- Aroma installer
- Debloat menu in aroma
- sd card rw
- dm-verity disabled
- force encryption disabled
- Auto model choose in script to flash right files
- Auto update BL/CP for F/FD model aroma
- iOS emojis
- Knox 0x0 faked on running system
- Safetynet pass
Bugs:
- You tell me
HOW-TO Install the rom:
0. Make sure you have ticked OEM Unlock in Developer settings and have a backup of your user apps!
1. Download latest bootloader and modem from here:
Bootloader/Modem
2. Download latest odin
3. Flash BL (bootloader) in BL tab and CP (modem) in CP tab of odin. Then follow the steps on this side until you get a working custom recovery: TWRP for S8+ (to enter download mode, press power+bixby button+volume down)
4. If you are done with bootloader, modem and recovery we can move on, boot into twrp holding power, bixby button and volume up while phone is powered off
5. This will delete all your personal data! In TWRP recovery: Click on wipe, format data and type "yes"
6. Wait until it is finished then click reboot, reboot to recovery
7. Now connect your phone to PC and copy the rom file inside your internal or external sd card
8. Flash the rom and wait until it is finished
9. Reboot your phone and wait till it finished booting
10. After you setup your phone, check if magisk/busybox got installed. If not install them from playstore

Any clue why there was an auto-reboot at the end of aroma?
Thank you, glad to see you !!!!
Maybe the nucleus immediately
Does Samsung pay work?
Awesome to see so much development for the S8Plus so far. Seems like when the S7 Edge was first released, development was very slow to start - it picked up eventually, but at the beginning, there were very few roms to choose from.
Your Entry into the custom roms in these forums just adds more options - glad to see you here and look forward to continued development.
By the way, per the last posted question - Am I wrong or is it not possible to get Samsung Pay to work on rooted rom? (Even with magisk)? I know Android Pay works fine with Magisk Hide - but I never heard of any rom with SAMSUNG PAY working....of course I could be mistaken....

That was because I did not have a s7 from the very beginning
Samsung pay was reported working on some s7 users phones. Anyway I could never verify or try myself since it's not even available in my country :/

A1: NO WORRIES, THE PATCH WILL INSTALL BUT TWRP HAS PERFORMANCE ISSUES.
A2: JUST TAP THE RIGHT BOTTOM EDGE WHERE THE NEXT BUTTON IS AND PRESS IT A FEW TIMES.
A3: YOUR DEVICE SHOULD VIBRATE WHEN YOU HIT THE NEXT BUTTON. 3 VIBRATIONS AND YOU'RE DONE!
Q5: SOME APPS ARE CLOSING OR NOT RECEIVING MESSAGES WHILE SCREEN OFF, WHY!?
A1: MAKE SURE YOU'VE CONFIGURED THE SMART BATTERY APP / PUT THEM TO NEVER SLEEP!
Q6: HOW TO SET UP SMART BATTERY?
A1: USE THE MORE SHORTCUTS APP AND START THE SMART BATTERY ACTIVITY!
A2: OR JUST WAIT FOR A NOTIFICATION FROM THE APP. IT COMES WHEN THE SCREEN IS OFF!
Q7: MY WALLPAPERS ARE GONE AFTER WAKING THE DEVICE UP, WHATS WRONG?
A1: MAKE SURE YOU'VE WHITELISTED GOOGLE BACKGROUNDS IN SMART BATTERY!
Q8: I DON'T FIND HELP ON THIS THREAD, WHAT TO DO?
A1: CHECK THE OTHER LIGHT PATCH THREADS. ONE PATCH FOR ALL DEVICES!
Q9: WHAT DOES THE PATCH DO?
A1: GO BACK TO THE FIRST POST AND START READING FROM THERE!
Questions left? Ask @Miustone
Instructions:
BOOT TO THE RECOVERY/TWRP
WIPE DATA, SYSTEM AND THE CACHES
FLASH A AOSP OS/ROM/FIRMWARE/KERNEL
GO TO THE REBOOT MENU AND SELECT RECOVERY
FLASH THE PATCH BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE SYSTEM
REBOOT TO THE SYSTEM NOW. THE FIRST START MAY TAKE SOME TIME
And that's it. If You don't want to flash a new ROM, just choose the Clean or Full Wipe within the Patch.
Don't have the Luck to own a Pixel 2 XL yet, but feel free to test the Light Patch as One of the first! Would appreciate some Feedback, but keep in mind, this Patch is meant for AOSP based Systems. Stock may have Problems but as far as i know are the Pixel 1 Models running flawless with the Patch on top of Stock Oreo...

PS: V1.6 will come soon!
I assume we need TWRP for this?

Flashfire / Root would be good enough, but TWRP is THE WAY to go as usual. How is the actual State on the Pixel 2 Devices? I'll guess the Bootloaders are unlockable already!? TWRP isn't available yet!?

You want to hide the only Navigation Way on Your Device? What's the Plan? Using LMT?
I could add a Option to the next Version for that...

Hehe, used that Method on One of My first ROMs, think it was for the Xperia T lot of Years ago (Without AROMA)...
Know well how to pair that with AROMA today. Updated the Changelog and will come with the next Release, thanks for bringing back the Idea Sir! Think this is a great addition (LMT will be Optional Part of the disabling of the Navbar).

It's still alotta do. Planning some changes on the Presentation of the Project and i'm also interested to get Part of a App called "Custom ROM Manager". Which looks awesomely made. It could be a "OTA" like updater for the Patch (Checking for the actual Version of the Patch and advising Updates if needed). Besides that am i finetuning some Parts of the Patch like the Structure and the Logics. Think it will be ready over the Weekend and pushed out on the 1st of the next Month. Hope You will and can enjoy it then :fingers-crossed:

You can hide and swap back and recents with "custom navigation bar" from play store. You just need to grant permission through adb on your computer if you have no root. I swapped my back n recents
@Miustone
Great utility bro, look forward to testing it.
I just got Google Lense fully working on My Axon 7 with AOSP on it... Wasn't it Pixel exclusive till now? I remeber XDA has posted about it but failed. Same for unlimited Photo Uploads. Someone tried to copy My Method but failed (XDA Featured it). Think it's about Time that the Light Patch gets featured? Anyone willed to report Me to the XDA "News" Team? Some more Attention wouldn't hurt x)
EDIT: Magisk Module... I HATE THEM! Just discovered that there is a Module for that. And what about Users of other Root Methods? ;(

That would really be a nice Move from You! The Patch can replace the GApps step in the Recovery while also giving the possibility to skip the GApps install thx to AROMA. Manual Debloat and Bloat Options are also included to make everything more custom. Could be a great addition on OS Threads...
And Fingers crossed that Root/TWRP is coming soon to You Folks! Looking forward to support this Beast here!
PS: Could anyone provide a Unpacked/Zipped Pixel 2 XL Stock System? I'm not able to get My Fingers on the Files but would like to merge them for the Users of other Devices and of course the Pixel 2 XL on AOSP too. V1.6 comes in 2-3 Days so there is some Time left to include the new Files. Would really appreciate some Help with that!

Edit:- here is Gcam Fix thanks to @doktor29

09th March 2018
This is an small Update,if you dont have anyy isue, dont update as there arent any huge changes expect :-
1)Google Sync Issue Finally Resolved, With Google Apps Build It(Partially)
2)Face Unlock is Merged, Though the bug of Fingerprint wont work on app lock if you unlock by faceunlock is still there.
2)Removed Chinese MiVideo App,MiBrowser(you can install apk if u need these)and Replaced MiMusic With English One.
3)Removed Many Obsolete Files/empty strings and ither things, though these changes are not visible, they may improve battery life slightly.
For new Users, who are installing this rom first time, flash this build,
But you are alreafy on this rom and have google sync issues, then download the file named "20180309_115625" under MIUI apps folder in gdrive download folder.
place this folder in
MIUI>backup>AllBackup>
then go to
setting>additional setting>backup&reset>local backups then you will see a backup tap on it and restore then u will have all gapps without any issue.
Installing gapps directly causing unstability to whole system ui and this seems best way. its bit tricky but easy.
Note:if theme/other miui apps fails to download then rename MIUI folder as MIUI. (insert dot at end) and give permission to theme app and clear cache data.
2nd March 2018
1) Stock MIUI Camera Fixed,
2)Removed Remaining Chinese Apps, Removed Unimportant apps like xio ai, mi roaming etc.
3)Removed Gestures/Navigation Bar, You can still get it by flashing an simple zip.
4) Currently Working on complete Translation of Full ROM to English,Will try to add other languages but Cant Promise Anything.
Known Issues/Tricks
1)On MIUI Stock Camera, Rear Camera Loops/hangs when clicking with Auto flash/HDR Enabled, Either Turn on or off Flash, Dont Use Auto Flash or Hdr On rear cam, Will be Fixed in Next Build.
2)Those Who Wants to Get Navigation Bars back Can flash zip,But no zip to Disable Navigation bar is available as of now, will available on later date.
3)D2TW is not directly working, though may or may not work with workaround shared by some members, will be fixed in next build, as new Files Which works are in chinese,
Those who wants me to Translate diffarent Aspects of rom, Post screenshot along with Correct Translation ,
The original dev will not translate this rom as he releases builds only for china region, i will try my best to include requested changes.

Actually there is no need to fix it, as gcam is perfect for photos and for videos you can try oneplus camera which is excellent or any other camera app, that would work just perfect.
Fixing stock cam can be time consuming and its resources are conflicting with that of gcam, so either both will crash or one will crash.

Ooh actually this is an app, which changes default device language, but as there is no source to load language from, it can't translate system settings and others but if in third party apps like SwiftKey and other apps have that language, they will be shown in spanish as morelacale2 app will change default device language.

MIUI have deep battery optimisations,
Go to setting apps whatsapp allow auto start, give other permission, remove battery optimisations to no restriction, then you will recieve notification,
Or you can try rom posted in this thread, it's working fine for me.

That's why I wrote could, I haven't tried and there are multiple versions of TWRP, if you experience problems flashing the ROM use my recovery
pretty much very stable rom... working everything very smothly...but one issue...after usung 1 or 2 shot with gcam its freeze the cam...and then can't open the gcam anymore...
Unfortunately I can't install it. It would be great if there was a zip file that can be installed with twrp. Thanks for your effort anyway.
after using 2-3 days.. i found some bug
1. after activated vibration mode no vibration icon showing in status bar
2. gcam not working (tried many version)
and after some times phone autometically try to reboot itself but stuck at mi logo.. have to forcefully tap on power button to reboot manually (happened every time i install different version of gcam) i had same issue in lineageOS 19
3. no ota updater option (maybe because its unofficial or i don't know)
4. don't have the option double tab on status bar area to lock screen
5. not showing am/pm in time

1 and 5 are AOSP/PE bugs, hopefully will be fixed in QPR2 release
2 don't use Gcam for now, i've fixed hdr+ photos on recent Gcam version in my internal builds but it's still crashing causing a reboot after a minute, i had no time to inspect yet because i was focused on EAS and power HAL port
3 correct, no OTA update app on unofficial builds
4 i'm not 100% sure but if i remember well it's a feature of plus version
@-+BB+-
Thanks for sharing your Mi5 rom with us.
Since Android 12 the Mi5 phone is missing a working TWRP recovery, with support of the fbe encryption. This prevents many users from trying all the new roms, because there is no way to take full backups.
Can you tell me what is the reason?
I would be glad to help the development, but I don't know where to start. If I had someone who can guide me in the process I could do my part. Being part of a team would be ideal.

I would be glad to help the development, but I don't know where to start. If I had someone who can guide me in the process I could do my part. Being part of a team would be ideal.

Unfortunately Pixel Experience doesn't support natively TWRP compiling, and i don't have space on my NVME for another build enviroment. Also as far as i know they did not release yet an Android 13 recovery, they are working right now on it, but i don't know if works. Do you know if TWRP supports FBE on other devices? if TWRP supports FBE then best thing would be compile TWRP in an Android 12 build enviroment with a 4.4 kernel with FBE support. you can use my repos or los repos, it' the same. The only requested changes are a makefile with a basic conf for mi5 and convert the fstab in a compatible version for TWRP
@mrinfinity0007 not fixed yet but probably i've understood what's happening... Could you please try to put selinux in permissive mode and use the camera? You can do with adb:
Code:
adb root
adb shell setenforce 0
adb shell getenforce
The last command checks that selinux is correctly disabled, the output must be 0 or permissive
@-+BB+-
Thank you. Yes, from what I see TWRP supports FBE and A12 on other devices.
But I guess that porting it on our device is not that easy as one could think.
My problem is finding detailed guides to start understanding the process, or at least having a overall view.
Anyway I don't want to post too many OT messages on your thread.

That's why I wrote could, I haven't tried and there are multiple versions of TWRP, if you experience problems flashing the ROM use my recovery

I will take a look this weekend and let you know because I don't remember where but I'm pretty sure that I read a tutorial for TWRP compiling some years ago

If your goal is to flash the ROM without format the internal memory won't work, you may be able to flash the zip but after the flash you'll be forced to format the internal memory without fbe support

Yes it's a root shell, you have root permissions only with ADB, not in your phone. If you want to roll back to selinux enforcing and stop the rooted shell simply reboot the phone, that changes doesn't survive after the reboot
@JackSlaterIV found it, it's old and some things may be slightly different but this is a good tutorial.
Here's the link of the minimal manifest 12.1 is the correct branch but decryption is WIP at the moment, don' t think will work, unless you don't set a password/PIN/pattern, in that way should be fine
@mrinfinity0007 never mind, i've fixed It, Gcam was crashing because it was trying to use hexagon for HDR+, but SELinux was blocking it. Now it's wotking fine even in enforcing mode
PS: i've decided to upload the latest personal build i made, some thing may change because i'm still testing them, but more or less (on device side) this will be the next official release when PE devs will merge QPR2 changes and feb security patch.
Here's the direct link

okay man, thank you
The build is perfect! when new builds come out, when applying the new build, the data is going to be deleted? In sense when applying the update the data is going to be factory resetted? Also, fast charging is not working!
Thank you again!

No you don't need to wipe internal storage every update, just enter in recovery, flash the zip using adb sideload or an USB OTG and reboot when flash is over.
PS: tested right now fast charge with my PC, power bank and power supply and works fine for me, please check your cable or your power supply (i've changed one of my cables a couple of days ago for a similar reason, fast charge working randomly and adb stops every few seconds with all my devices)
Is it also possible to add OTA updates or is it difficult to do and make? Thank you! (The fast charging works!)

PE has an OTA update app, but is for official builds only, if someday the ROM will become official you will also have OTA updates
EDIT: glad that fast charge is working, out of curiosity: what was the problem?

You can sideload the zip as usual, magisk should be there without the need of reinstalling it. If you lose root after the flash, simply flash again magisk

I'm sorry but unfortunately Plus edition require more or less 500 Gb of free space for sources and compiling, actually I don't have all that free space in my NVMEs, I'm already using 650+ Gb for PE and my 3 devices (gemini, grus and courbet).

Did you check the MD5 of the downloaded zip file? Probably it's a corrupted download, but without the recovery log it's impossible to understand what happened
