Sprint Hybrid ROM SeriesLOLLIPOP 5.1.1
(Android 5.0.1 ROMs are in post #2)
I bring to you a Hybrid Sprint N910PVPU4COG5 ROM. Built from the official Samsung OG5 tar ball. The initial ROM release is available in Odexed and Deodexed. Both are identical beside being odexed or deodexexd. The ROM will self root upon flash and it has init.d/busybox support (to be determined once we have a kernel that supports it). Knox and Sprint Itson has been removed completely. The "Basic" ROM includes the stock pre-rooted OG5 "Beastmode" kernel provided by @freeza
Other than a few small mods and the REMOVAL of Knox, Sprint Itson and several pre-installed "bloat" apps, this ROM is stock in every other way. I spent a lot of time with root and the updater-script to make it flash and pre-root as it should with no hassles. I DO NOT give permission for ANYONE to use this ROM or any future version of it for your own ROM base or any other derivative of my ROM. So don't do it! I will build a stock base ROM soon and it can be used for other peoples' projects. Thank you. Enjoy!

Build.prop tweaks
Important Note: Before flashing this ROM. you MUST first have done one of the following: Taken the Lollipop OB7 ota update OR odin flashed the stock N910PVPU1BOB7_N910PSPT1BOB7_SPR rom tar or NEWER Lollipop build such as OE1, OF5 or OFG. If you are still on ANY KK based rom (including any KK AOSP/CM based roms) then you MUST first update to Lollipop by one of the two methods I mentioned above, BEFORE flashing this ROM. If you are still on the first Lollipop 5.0 OB7 rom or a stock/custom KitKat ROM and have NEVER updated to Lollipop before then I highly recommend flashing my custom OB7/OG5 rom tar found HERE. Read that thread for more information.
Flashing Instructions***Before beginning the flash/setup process MAKE SURE your battery has at least 50% charge and/or connected to the charger!!!***
1. Backup anything you don't want to lose off your internal storage to another location.
2. Download the rom using your pc. (downloading with your phone has a much higher risk of file corruption. Not recommended with large files).
3. VERIFY the md5!!! Once the download has finished, compare the AFH md5 using a md5 tool on your pc. (Google is your friend).
4. Put the downloaded rom onto your internal storage or external micro sd card.
Before you go any further you need to odin flash the latest TWRP (recovery). Uncheck the "auto-reboot" option in the Odin tool before flashing TWRP. Once it finishes flashing, press and hold the home button, volume down and power button for several seconds until it reboots then QUICKLY press and hold home, volume UP and the power button and it will reboot to recovery without the need to do a battery pull. Otherwise continue to the next steps below.
5. With phone powered off, reboot into recovery by pressing and holding volume up, power and the home button until you see the samsusung logo then release all buttons.
6. Once in recovery choose the wipe button and do a factory reset three times. Optional but recommended is to do a "Data" wipe. This will wipe all of your internal storage so MAKE SURE you backed up first like i said in step #1 above! Then go to "advanced wipe" and select all of the partitions EXCEPT micro-sd card and internal storage. Internal storage is optional but recommended on first time flashing Lollipop.
7. Choose the "Install" option and select the rom "Hybrid_Sprint_N910PVPU4COG5_Deodexed" from either your internal or external micro-sd card. It will flash the rom and give a confirmation once completed.
8. Press "Reboot" then "reboot system".
9. Initial rom setup will take around 10 minutes and remain on the yellow Sprint Spark screen for much longer than what you are used to. Let the phone setup/optimize for at least 10 minutes and the screen WILL eventually turn off OR show the setup wizard screen once it finishes.
10. When you see the screen turn off, you can proceed with the setup wizard. Once finished with setup wizard, you will be prompted for the "connections optimizer". Quickly set it to what you want and close it. That's it! You're done! Setup your rom as usual. Enjoy![/B]
WARNING: Flashing anything on your device is done at your own risk. There is no way myself or any other developer can guarantee that flashing this ROM or any other file will not brick your device or otherwise cause some other type of damage. This is just a standard warning. I am not responsible for anything that you do to your device. However I do take great time and effort to ensure all of my work is tested and verified good before releasing to the public.

Sprint Hybrid ROM SeriesLOLLIPOP 5.0.1
(Android 5.1.1 ROMs are in post #1 above)
About ROM:
For those of you who want your phone to have that pure stock look, feel and reliability along with the extra features that should have come on the phone straight out of the box..... this ROM is for you. It is completely stock other than disabled knox, root and some added features which will make you Happy Happy Happy!!!
This is the ROM that should have come on your phone when you opened the box. For my "Basic" ROMs the list of extra features will be limited because these are the base ROMs for all future builds which will include more features, mods, theme, etc.. What this means is that these stock "base" ROMs (along with it's few extra features) will remain just as they are and will NOT be changed, themed or modded in any way, unless an issue arises which I will fix. Later on, as time permits, I will release modified/themed versions which will have even more added features, tweaks and mild theming. This is the Hybrid Series ROM, which basically means combining the best mods & features from different devices and developers from XDA and making it better and more enjoyable, while at the same time giving you that reliable stock look and feel which you know so well. This is not an over the top themed rom. There's no developer signatures, names or logos throughout the ROM. I always keep everything looking clean professional and stock with no flamboyant icons, colors etc. This is my personal ROM that I use. It will progress and remain true to these standards. Enjoy!!!

***This Basic OB7 X-Series ROM will not be changed or updated. More features will be included in future builds of Hybrid X-Series ROM which can be found below***
Install Instructions:
If coming from stock NIE or NK2 KitKat rom you MUST first take the Lollipop ota update OR Odin flash the stock Lollipop OB7 ROM tar found HERE
Thanks @-viperboy- for uploading the stock OB7 tar! This is MANDATORY that you do this before flashing any stock or custom lollipop rom via recovery. NO EXCEPTIONS. There are necessary carrier partitions and updated bootloader etc that must be written to your device for Lollipop. BEFORE you Odin the stock OB7 rom tar you MUST reboot into recovery and do a factory reset AND wipe everything (except micro sd-card) several times. If you don't do this you will have left over data that will cause issues once you odin flash OB7. You have been warned. If you ignore these instructions then you are to blame for not following these simple instructions. Once you do these steps and you're on the stock Lollipop OB7 rom you can proceed to the Instructions below
* Flash using the latest version of TWRP custom recovery
1. Download my ROM zip file and copy it to either your internal storage or external micro-sd card.
2. Reboot into custom recovery. Do a factory reset. Then wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache and wipe system. Wipe each three times for good
measure. DO NOT ACCIDENTLY WIPE MICRO SD CARD!!!
3. Choose Install and select the rom zip file
* Lollipop flashes take a few seconds longer than KK roms. Once it finishes, choose reboot system. First boot will take around 15 minutes.
When the screen turns off it's ready for user setup.
* Done!!!
* Enjoy your fully working stock Hybrid Edition ROM!!!

Fingerprint recognition working after NAND restore?
I'm still waiting on my Note 4 to arrive but have been reading through the forums looking for this, a very basic stock ROM to start with 'til I see a custom ROM with the kinks worked out.
One of the ROMs had an issue with Fingerprint recognition not working to unlock the device after a NAND restore. At that point they hadn't figured out if it was something relative to the Chainfire root process or the ROM or some Samsung issue after root. They were able to use the backup password but couldn't get the fingerprint recognition to work anymore at all, even after going back through the setup for it.
Has anybody tested fingerprint recognition after a restore? Any issues with that?
They were having some issues with Xposed as well. Is anyone running Xposed on this ROM yet? Any issues?
Glad to see everything is working!!
I took a hiatus for the holiday period and being in retail my time has been primarily on making them $$
Back for the next few weeks till the big Christmas hits and i may go dark for another week!!
Great job on getting things fixed and running right! !
ROM looking good!

You are talking about the actual saved fingerprint continuing to work from your nandroid restore correct? I personally haven't tested a saved fingerprint after a nandroid restore but I would have to assume that IF fingerprint scanner stops recognizing a saved fingerprint after a nandroid restore that it could likely be caused by the encryption getting broken during nandroid backup or restore process. If somebody has time to test and confirm the fingerprint scanner still works after a nandroid restore using the same saved fingerprint prior to the nandroid backup, please report back. Otherwise ill test this as soon as I have time. The fingerprint scanner itself should work just fine after a restore.
Edit: saved fingerprints and scanner work perfectly after a nandroid restore. This is not an issue.
fingerprint scanner
I have done a restore after system my system went haywire from trying to change dpi.it recognized my finger print
Will you port over download booster from a tmobile rom? Also do you have a flashlight toggle?

Flashlight toggle and torch light option is already in my plans for future release. Download booster is already in the rom vi toggle. Just long press the toggle and it will take you to download booster. I will try to add it in regular settings menu when I can. I don't need to port anything from a different rom to do this.

The download booster can be toggled in the factory ROM as well but it doesn't actually work. The one from T-mobile actually does. Did you import that or are we working with what came shipped on sprint phones? Thanks.

It is the way it come shipped from Samsung & Sprint. Download booster is not enabled on the Sprint version and there's no toggle for it either. I did add the toggle but not the settings menu entry. I haven't tested it but if it doesn't work then that would explain why it wasn't an available feature out of the box. Why it doesn't work i couldn't say... other than incompatibility issues.

Awesome! Downloading now!
I have tried to download this three times - each time the file downloads - but when I try to open it - I get an error message saying the file is invalid. I am using GOOGLE CHROME as my browser (not that it should matter as I tried in IE and had the same result) and I have very good download speeds - each time the entire download took approximately 10 to 15 minutes. File size seems right at just over 1.4 GB -
Not sure what the problem is - but look forward to it getting fixed - would like to try this...
Thanks for your efforts.
STILL can;t download a usable file - is this happening for anyone else?
Going to pull the DL for a lil bit. Building V1.2. The Sec files are being replaced with updated U.S. Version. Have found out that the international files seem to be incompatible after implementing the CSC
I tried transferring the zip from my computer to the sd via cable and it wouldn't, get an error code. So I removed the sd card from my phone and put the zip on it via SD card adapter and it transferred fine that way but then when I tried flashing it fails right away.
There is no wifi calling on international roms

Downloaded just fine - will be flashing when I get home.
Thanks for your efforts - they are appreciated!
Forgive the NOOBINESS of this question - but you mention that There are several apks that need to be installed separately (US keyboard - HD Voice - etc) in the op - are these all available thru PLAY STORE or do I need to search some of them out elsewhere - ? (as they are usually included - I have never had to install them separately -
I suppose I might also be able to restore from TB too, right?
Hi,
This rom is compatible SM-N9005 ?
Thanks

These are downloads from within the phone itself. GO to language and input to download keyboard languages and text-to-speech languages, as they are defaulted to UK until the next build.

Pimpdroid 2.1.4
Some of you may know me from my work on the note 1 i717 with Pimpdroid 1.0, and though this ROM shares the name, it is not a continuation of the previous project. More so, I have named this ROM after 1.0 as a sort of ode to fallen projects. My note 1 had broken and I bought an S3, but by that time I already had significant progress on the release of 2.0 - however, much to my dismay, the hard drive containing the majority of my work is now toasted. I mean literally, toasted. It became corrupt and being that it is a really metal idea I gave it a bit of a viking funeral. Anyway, enough of my ranting. I present to you Pimpdroid 2.1.4 for the galaxy S3, based on stock 4.3 touchwiz with quite a few tweaks. Guaranteed at least one "awwwww yeeeeaaa son" per flash.
Features:
-Busybox pre-installed
-(mostly) debloated
-deodexed
- google experience launcher
-some kitkat stock apps
-android black market installed
-lucky patcher installed
-apollo music player
-KNOX removed
-rooted (obviously)
-some systemUI theming
-samsung OTA updater disabled
-some network / wifi speed tweaks
-stability tweaks
-tweaked up system sounds, much less of an ear-sore
-AOSP-esque notification sounds
-xposed + wanam, lockwidget, and loser modules
-pretty well no S-crap left on, if there's anything I've missed let me know so I can kill it. (samsung apps is left there deliberately for the sake of galaxy gear functionality)
>*the following features are toggled in the wanam xposed module*
-adjustable notification typeface
-status bar clock adjustable clock size, AM/PM style, and position
-status bar date on/off
-circleMOD battery
- adjustable system notifications
-adjustable quick tiles settings
-enable lockscreen rotation
-hide battery full notification
-adjustable system sounds
-4 way reboot menu
-disable / enable tethering provisions
-adjustable status bar color
-toggle between permissive and enforcing SELinux
>*the following features are enabled though the loser xposed module*
-volume button music controls
-double tap home button for google voice search
>*the following feature is enabled within xposed (by ticking the relevant module)*
-lockscreen widgets with secure lockscreen
Bugs:
None that I know of. Tell me?
Some notes:
- One thing to keep in mind is that due to the kitkat apps (namely, camera), GOOGLE HANGOUTS is intended to be your primary SMS / MMS app. Do not come to me with any issues regarding other sms/mms apps.
- Also keep in mind that though this ROM is starting to exit its baby stages, It's an early release, and I intend to add much much more to it in the future.
- And lastly, I HAVE NO TIME FOR DRAMA. Nobody is forcing you to use this ROM, if you don't like it flash something else.
With that being said, download links, instructions, and change-log are below. Have fun and happy flashing!
Flashing instructions:
-Full wipe (don't come with issues if you dirty flashed)
-Flash rom
-Do NOT flash any gapps, it's a TW rom they're built in
-reboot and let it sit for about 10 minutes
-enjoy!

It's just the rom, yeah. Should work fine with the 4.1 loader / modem but you might have issues with data, I'm not sure I haven't tried it.
New ROM to play with. Will share my feedback soon :good:

Quick summary of my experience.
Loved how quick it seemed compared to other 4.3 TW I've tried. Liked the KitKat tweaks.
Could not get Wi-Fi to turn on or data to begin with (on SGH-i747, AT&T and was on MG2).
Rebooted to recovery to flash MJ2 bootloader/modem file. That gave me data (but only HSPA, no LTE) but still no Wi-Fi.
Restored nandroid of previous Rom, will be watching for updates! Thank you! :thumbup:
Hi how can i change tw launcher ??
Edit i dont have wifi and data i flashed from 4.3 official
I took a shot with it..
Here are my observations trying to use this with BELL, MK5 modem and DMF1 bootloader.
1.) External SD card indicated "damaged". Card is indeed fine though and TWRP read it w/o issue after rebooting. Quantum Kitkat V3.1 rom recognizes it fine as well.
2.) Wifi doesn't work
3.) APN was missing. No biggie. I added the Bell APN and data worked w/o issue
4.) Missing the LTE data profile although icon showed 4gLTE with the correct APN info.
There was some sort of security scanner running.. I think it was called "Lookout". Not sure what it was at the time (It's a virus scanner) but it made me nervous so I rebooted and restored my backup.
MK5
Strange, wifi and data work fine on my phone, I wonder if it could be due to being built on a Telus base. For those trying this with MK5 did you flash MK5 before or after flashing this rom? And does anyone have a Telus s3 they'd be willing to try this on to see if the problems still exist? If it ends up being a carrier problem I may just do multiple builds.

MK5 modem was installed prior to installing this ROM.
Any screenshots yet? Would someone also care to share their experience using hangouts for sms/mms?

You probably have to flash a custom kernel to fix WiFi. Use the latest test dkp or the insecure kernel and WiFi should work.

As promised, I bring to you THE Official MOAR ROM for the Sprint Galaxy Note 4! Built from my stock Ultimate Note 5 ROM
which can be found HERE.
This is an exact replica of the original MOAR rom developed by @rompnit and @tdunham for the Sprint Galaxy Note 5.
Please visit the original MOAR rom thread to learn more about this Awesome rom and get the latest updates, tips, help and other useful information.
The rules for this thread are as follows:1. All port related discussion such as issues, updates and fixes must remain in this thread and not posted in the original N5 thread. This is to keep the original rom's thread clear of needless posts unrelated to the original rom.
2. All features, tips, guides, theming and other MOAR specific discussions can be done in the original rom thread as long as it does not contain issues or other types of posts that are strictly related to the port rom. Use common sense.
About ROM:This build is based on the stock Sprint OK3 5.1.1 Lollipop build for the N5. It's creators @rompnit and @tdunham have long collaborated with other projects. I have recently joined the team and i'm excited to be a part of a very talented group. Together we can conquer all things that make your smartphones Amazing! I have taken on the task of properly porting and fixing various issues that arise from this type of project. A lot of time and work goes into this rom before the porting process even begun! So please giveThanks here as well as the original thread linked above. We hope you enjoy your MOAR experience!

Added the following apps:
Peel Smart Remote ( Why not? The Note 4 has a IR blaster unlike the note 5 )
Backup app
GifMaker app (is an add-on feature for the stock Samsung photo gallery and can be found in the stock gallery's menu)
Samsung fonts package (can be accessed from fonts settings. There's a lot so it takes a few seconds to load them all. when you open fonts settings be patient, they will load)
Video Editor full version (I fixed the internal linking from the stock samsung video app so it will take you straight to the video editor when pressing "edit" for a video)
Added Features:
XtremeMusic v7.0 by: @androidexpert35 (insert thread link here)
Dolby ATMOS (overrides Samsung SoundAlive in stock Samsung music player as well as system wide audio)
Known issues: (same as the stock UN5 rom)
This is the list of known minor issues upon initial release. Some are beyond my control.
I haven't had time to look at these issues and it's very likely that i will not have them fixed before Marshmallow is released.
Sprint Zone will fc during initial rom setup. it is looking for the bloat installer and ID apps which are removed.
FM radio is broken (I plan to finish solving this problem in the future as I have a good sense of direction to solve this )
[*]World clock tab in the clock app does not work. (I know the cause of this problem and will try to fix it another time)
Some Samsung apps (specifically 64bit versions) cannot be updated through Samsung galaxy app store. This is to be expected and they will fail to install. Please consider this before you remove any stock samsung apps!
S-View cover doesn't work.
Did i miss anything? I think that's about it! Please report any issues or bugs if you find something. Also PM me so your report doesn't get overlooked.
Changelog***v2.1*** Initial release (rom features listed above)
***v2.1a***
Fixed stock samsung audio
Fixed highest volume audio bug
Fixed stock Samsung SoundAlive (however the bass knob in SoundAlive has a bug where bass will drop if you turn it to the left. Leave it centered for the best results)
Made major adjustments to XtremeMusic installation and removal via aroma. It will now work exactly how it needs to work! Removal process will return stock audio exactly as it was originally! This is custom tailored for this rom ONLY. DO NOT FLASH THE OFFICIAL XTREMEMUSIC REMOVAL ZIP!!! IT WILL TOTALLY MESS UP STOCK AUDIO. THAT REMOVAL TOOL WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
Fixed GPS issue
Fixed World Clock
Fixed various things in aroma
Replaced root package with the same version from UN5 Hybrid rom
Updated all apps
Added 32bit N4 camera modes
Added New options in aroma for N5 & S7 browser and new TW launcher (MM 6dock 5x5 app drawer)
Improved scripts in aroma to handle switching between the launchers and browsers. Expect a clean slate when switching between these apps in aroma. There should be no issues now.
Streamlined ROM Install section of aroma: Removed ability to skip certain features in aroma during ROM install, making them mandatory selections. This will prevent issues during initial ROM flash, making it more "fool-proof" in the event somebody decides to dirty flash on top of an existing system and in other situations. Once ROM is installed use the "Add/Remove Features" in aroma and you will have no problems.
I may have missed something... if so i'll edit this as needed.
***v2.1b***
Fixed MOAR custom launcher not installing when flashing the rom
Fixed problem with updating SuperSU and losing root when flashing ad-ons in aroma.
Updated Dolby ATMOS (included with XtremeMusic Mod)
Added MaxxAudio (included with XtremeMusic Mod)
SoundAlive will now be removed when you install XtremeMusic mod (it interferes with other audio mods. It's not needed anyway if you're running better audio mods.)
Added options in aroma to install iOS or stock Samsung Emoji (can be found in AddRemove Features AOSP/TW section)
I think that's it...
Before you Flash!!!
Before you flash this rom you absolutely MUST be running the latest OK1 software for the Sprint Note 4 with the latest bootloader as well as having your phone fully activated. While on the stock un-rooted OK1 rom, you will need to go to Settings/System updates and update PRL then update Profile. Reboot your phone and then go to Settings/Activate this device and launch it to properly activate your phone on the sprint network. Once this completes, make sure data, calls and gps works as it should. You must also download the latest TWRP v3.0 and flash it with odin on your PC. Aroma does not work right on older versions of TWRP so please update it before flashing this rom! Warning: DO NOT use Material theme in TWRP! It will cause you to not be able to read any of the text in Aroma. Once everything is activated and working and you have the latest TWRP installed, proceed with the flashing instructions below. If you ignore these requirements please expect issues and don't ask for help until you do these initial steps.
Note: You can either take the ota updates in order on your phone via OTA updates, or use odin to flash the software in order of release until you are fully updated. OTA updates on your phone are installed differently than odin packages therefore you may only have to take one or two updates to become current. The OTA updates run scripts to patch your current rom unlike odin tar packages that completely write the entire partition replacing everything clean. I will not go into great detail about that here. I have covered this many times in my other threads so if you aren't sure then do some searching here in the Note 4 forums.
***Before you flash any rom, please make sure your battery has at least 50% charge***
Flashing Instructions:Lets begin...
1. Download the rom
2. Check the MD5!!! Use a MD5 checksum tool on your pc or phone (Google is your friend)
3. Copy the downloaded rom to your phone's internal storage or micro-sd card
Note: It has become apparent to me that if you are coming from another custom rom, especially another port rom, that you MUST also wipe your internal storage. Left over data from other roms DO cause major problems! So if you want the best trouble-free experience with this rom, I highly recommend that you backup anything you need from you internal storage and wipe it in recovery. You should do this before placing this rom on your internal storage or else put the rom zip on your micro-sd card.
4. Backup anything you need to backup from your internal storage and copy it to your pc or sd-card (DO NOT RESTORE BACKED UP APPS! INSTALL THEM FRESH FOR THE BEST TROUBLE-FREE EXPERIENCE!)
5. Reboot to TWRP 3.0 custom recovery. Press "Wipe". Do the "Factory Reset" several times then go into "Advanced Wipe" options and wipe Dalvic Cache, System, Data, and Cache several times.
6. Go to recovery home screen and select "Install" and select the rom that you have already copied to your phone in step 3. above.
7. Flash the rom and the Aroma script will step you through the install process. Just follow the on-screen menu and choose the options you want and install the rom. Once it finishes uncheck the reboot checkbox and let it reboot to recovery. WAIT!!! DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE YET!!!
***THE NEXT STEP IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!! It is done in order to clear the phone's current battery stats and prepare the phone for proper battery calibration***
***If you skip this step you will possibly have incorrect and misread battery capacity by your phone and will result in incorrect battery capacity problems*** Trust me. Do as I say and you will be perfectly fine.
8. While back in recovery go to the recovery homescreen and select "Reboot" then "Power Off".
9. With your phone powered off remove your battery. With the battery removed press and hold the power button for AT LEAST 20 seconds then release it.
10. Replace the battery and power on your phone. If the phone reboots into recovery then simply press "Reboot" then press reboot "System".
11. The initial boot process will take around 7 minutes. Just be patient. It will boot.
12. Once the phone has booted and you see the setup wizard screen, select your language then press the botton to continue to the next step. STOP HERE!
***THE NEXT STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!***
13. Stop at the wifi setup screen!!! Turn wifi off or leave it on, it doesn't matter. But STAY ON THIS SCREEN until your Sprint data has fully connected or else you will
not be able to sign into your accounts and the setup wizard will not be happy.
14. Once you have a data connection continue through setup wizard as usual.
That's it! You're done!

@tx_dbs_tx thanks for the port and everyone involved.
Thanks Tx. Very well deserved thank you. You guys are awesome
BIG THANKS to @tx_dbs_tx for this bad a** rom.
FYI. Although this is MOAR v2.1, it is technically still v1.0 for the port. So if there happens to be a significant issue that needs to be fixed, i will edit any future releases with an alphabetical extension Ex. Ultimate_Note5_Hybrid_Moar-ROM_v2.1a.zip... Ultimate_Note5_Hybrid_Moar-ROM_v2.1b.zip, and so on. That's IF there is a need. Also, if and when the original MOAR rom gets updated and if i do port it, the version number of the original rom will be reflected on the port rom as well. But I can't guarantee i will port any future builds. There's just too many variables for me to make that commitment. But i will try. Enjoy the rom!
Y'all are in for a treat. Endless customization awaits. TAKE THE RED PILL...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No. You already have the OK1 stuff so just follow the op minus ok1 update. Your good to go.
This is officially legit, customizable and improved over ultimate Note 5 ported stock base.
Thanks tx_dbs_tx! Lots of fun testing and following this build. And I'm thinking this will only get better going forward.

Hey guys! You may ask yourself what this rom is about and what you can expect from it, so it's basically something similar to the SuperMan-Rom on the Galaxy S7/S7 edge, but based on the latest and greatest software of the s8+. I was able to make a full port of the s8 (with almost all libs being s8) and I also made a backport of the latest Mali GPU driver (if you install this rom, you will be one of the first to be have a ported Mali GPU!).
! It has many custom featuers, you will find it below in the feature list :thumbup:
As you maybe know I'm a little fanboy from samsung, means I really love the stock look of the UI and the rom will always be based on most recent version from samsung, current base used is G955FXXU1AQK7 (compatible with S7 and S7e)
I wish you much fun reading through the features and while using this rom! Enjoy
So this rom should be installed by anyone loving to use a rom close to stock BUT with many mods inside aroma/rom control.
Also I'd like to make the already fast galaxy s7 even more faster as it already is! Let's see if we can reach this goal
Nobody is allowed to take stuff from my rom without asking me! Thank you.
IF YOU FOLLOW MY STEPS BELOW, YOU WILL MAY LOSE YOUR WARRANTY, KNOX WILL DISPLAY 0x1! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGED DEVICE!

Rom review by @shark jungle:
How to install the rom:
For advanced users:
0. Make sure to have a backup somewhere on external storage
1. Make sure to be on most recent TWRP, bootloader and modem
2. Flash the rom
3. If you need VoLTE or Wifi Calling, flash your correct carrier CSC
4. Done
For normal users:
0. Boot your phone, enable OEM unlock in developer settings
1. Flash TWRP with Odin (if you don't have odin, download it here), following this thread S7 TWRP until it works correctly (to access download mode, press home+volume down+power on while phone is turned off)
2. Make sure you are using most recent bootloader and modem, latest one available here on Android File Host
3. Now boot into TWRP by pressing home+volume up+power on while phone is turned off
4. If TWRP asks you about allowing system to be edited, swipe yes to confirm
5. In TWRP, go to wipe, format data (a keyboard will pop up now), type "yes" (this will wipe all your data, make sure to have a backup!)
6. After this, reboot recovery and start the rom installer
7. Select your preferences in my aroma installer
8. If you selected to auto update bootloader in aroma, the installer will reboot automatically
9. You can still install my CSC selection if you are customer of a carrier which is not supported by default CSC inside the rom
10. Wait till the rom boots up
11. After setting up, open BatMan Settings Free and let the app apply my default settings!
12. Enjoy the rom!

Questions and Answers
Basic Questions:
Q: How to get into Download Mode?
A: Power off your phone, than hold: home + volume down + power on button until you see the download mode.
Q: How to get into Recovery Mode?
A: Power off your phone, than hold: home + volume up + power on button until you see the recovery mode.
Q: My Phone is stuck at boot and doesn't start, what to do??
A: Update your bootloader, modem and TWRP recovery. Also make sure you have made a fresh install of the rom. Bootloader and Modem can be found in the OP. Another problem can be that you are didn't decrypt your phone. To fix this read below how to disable encryption.
Q: Do I need to update bootloader and modem after every update?
A: It's recommend to update your bootloader and modem everytime there is a new base yes. The developer will tell you if necessary on every rom changelog.
Q: I get verification failed at start up!?!? My phone is broken now?
A: Yes, you have to buy a new phone now. Just kidding You did not disable force encryption in TWRP (how to do so you will find below in how to decrypt your phone).
Q: I get verification FRP LOCK? WHYYYYYY???
A: Very simple answer, you did not enable OEM Unlock in developer options. Now you need to flash full rom with odin again and start from scratch. But don't forget to enable OEM Unlock this time!
Q: Which devices are supported at the moment?
A: Current supported devices are: SM-G930F/FD/K/L/S/W8. Snapdragons are NOT supported
Q: Is this rom working on Snapdragon 820 variants?
A: No, sadly not.
Q: I want to change something in my rom setup, how can I do that?
A: Simply reflash the same rom version without any wipe and than choose the correct things you want.
Q: Some features are not present in this rom, but they are on stock rom, so where are they?
A: In aroma installer you have the option to select bloat you want to install or not, you probably didn't select all package, this is why it's missing now.
Q: After a clean install my phone is overblated with many custom settings. What to do?
A: Open my romcontrol, grant it root permissions and then my default settings will be applied.
Q: Will you add X or Y feature?
A: You can kindly ask in the thread for that, if I like your suggestion I will think about adding it to the rom.
Q: You said you fixed SD card RW but Titanium Backup can't write to external SD card, why???
A: This is because of googles changes concerning SD card, to fix this open Titanium Backup, Menu, Preferences, Backup Folder Location, Storage provider and than hit DocumentProvider Storage and select your SD card. Problem solved
Q: I can't find X and Y mod. Please help
A: I've added many links and useful stuff to this post here. Hope that's what you have been looking for!
Q: I want to have my external storage like an internal as well. Google introduced it with android Marshmallow, but I can't see this option?
A: Just follow this Guide here and you can setup your SD card as normal storage
Q: I got a new strange icon (like a cloud) appearing after nougat update. What's that?
A: This is a new advanced calling feature introduced in android nougat. Should make your call quality better or something like this. To hide it please visit following forum: Get rid of RCS icon
Q: I installed Viper or other sound mods, but they won't work, why?
A: You most likely missed to freeze sound alive, if you did this and it's still not working you it's due to the kernel. Stock kernel doesn't support these mods since we need a permissive kernel!
Questions concerning rom updates:
Q: Do I have to do a full wipe for the new version?
A: It is always the best option to make a clean install, otherwise please don't come and report bugs!
Q: But I don't want to make a full wipe when only small stuff changed!
A: For updates using the same bases you can install the rom with a dirty flash. BUT with a new base a clean install is highly recommend!
Q: What steps should I do to update to a new version with a full wipe but keep all data?
A: There are some different ways. One way is to make a backup with Titanium Backup, you can backup all Apps and Preferences there. Make sure to store this backup on external SD card (if you have one). Second way would be to save your data onto a google account or samsung cloud and restore it after a clean install.
Q: I miss an apk after rom update, how can I get it back?
A: Simply reflash rom and select "dirty flash" in aroma + select the app this time in aroma.
Q: My battery life is so bad and performance is very poor after an update!?!?
A: This comes actually not form the rom itself, dirty flash can cause problems even if only some small things have been changed. So simply install it clean again and it will solve your problem.
Questions about log and logcats:
Q: I got FC's and other Problems with the rom, what to do?
A: Take a logcat for me, developers use to say: without a log, it never happened . A logcat can be grabed with a PC and ADB installed, simply type: adb logcat > log.txt while your phone is connected and the error is happening. Same can be done if you have a terminal installed on your phone. Simply type adb logcat > log.txt and you will have the same output as on the PC.
Q: What kind of logs can I provide to help you?
A: Logcat: This one is for general infos about FC's
DMESG: this is for kernel related things
Last_Kmsg: this can be used after a random reboot
Q: How to get logs?
A: 1. Connect your phone to your pc
2. Make sure you got usb debugging enabled
3. Install Minimal ADB tool
4. After install open it and type: adb logcat > logcat.txt, adb shell dmesg > dmesg.log, adb shell cat proc/last_kmsg kmsg.log
5. Send me the file you got
You can also send me a log created by your phones terminal with the exact same commands!
Questions about RomControl:
Q: None of my romcontrol changes do anything, why are you such a bad dev!?!?
A: The problem is not on my end, you installed stock systemUI (which is STOCK and does not support one single mod). Use another one in aroma instead. The same thing can happen with good lock!
Q: Romcontrol gives FC's to me. HELP!
A: Very simple answer here: wipe data and cache from batman control application. Also make sure storage permissions are given to the romcontrol.
Q: Romcontrol still FC after cleaning data and cache!
A: Make sure you allow storage permission in main settings.
Q: I try to backup my current RomControl setup, but it won't work?
A: It works. Just make sure to enable storage permission in main samsung applicatoin settings. You will find it in internal sdcard under RomControl folder.
Q: I can't restore BatMan control settings after a clean base update, why?
A: Backup for BatMan control only works as long as you use the same version of the app, I mostly change very much things in new releases that's why it won't work there.
Q: SystemUI reboot doesn't work in BatMan settings app, why?
A: Since Nougat update, you need to install busybox in order to get this button working. Without busybox the button will just do nothing.
How to go back to stock:
Q: I like to go back to stock rom, how is this possible?
A: I can provide you here all steps which are needed to go back to a full stock rom.
0. Make a backup and than wipe all partitions in TWRP
1. Go to Sammobile and choose your country
2. Download the file and the attached Odin on sammobile
3. After downloading, put your phone into download mode
4. Make sure drivers are installed and your pc can detect your phone in odin
5. If the box in odin turns blue, add the AP file to AP tab, BL file to BL tab, CP file to CP tab and CSC_HOME to CSC tab
6. Hit start and wait until it is finished.
7. Reboot and you have a stock rom again
Questions about Encryption:
Q: On TWRP there is an error about /data mount, what to do?
A: Your device is encrypted, follow the steps below to get rid of your encryption.
Q: Help, I never had a code and now after installing the rom my phone asks for a password??
A: Your device is still encrypted, on step 0 of my rom instructions it tells you to be sure you're not. So, what do you need to to in case you are still encrypted.
A: HOW TO DISABLE ENCRYPTION:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Select Wipe
3. Select format data
4. Then you manually need to type "yes" with the keyboard
5. Confirm the wipe (this will remove the encryption)
6. Reboot your recovery
Q: Is there a way to get rid of encryption which is simpler?
A: Not really, you could also wipe data with stock recovery but this is quite a big hassle so above method works better.
Q: And if I want to use this rom with encryption?
A: Encryption does not work anymore on Nougat roms with TWRP installed, sorry to tell...
Questions about CSC/Signal:
Q: Where has the CSC selection gone?
A: To include all csc files, the rom get way to big, so it got it's own thread now, take a look here: CSC installer
Q: I have a weak cellular signal, what can I do against it?
A: Two things: first, install your providers CSC using CSC installer and flash in TWRP or flashing stock CSC with Odin. Second Thing: You can install the modem from your provider, also find your modem on Sammobile and install it with Odin in CP tab.
Q: I don't have all sHealth features, how come?
A: Not all CSCs include this feature. I recommend to use AUT or DBT as it has the best compatibility!
Q: Can I flash MM CSC on N and vis a verse?
A: No, this is clearly not recommend! You can and will face call fc's!
Questions about Xposed:
Q: Does Xposed work yet on Android N 7.0?
A: There are some test version of Xposed on N, I don't recomend to install it!
Questions about Magisk:
Q: How can I pass safetynet?
A: 1. Make sure to fully uninstall SuperSU by chainfire
2. Flash most recent BatStock Kernel
3. Flash Magisk V13.3
4. Open Magiks Manager, go to settings
5. Enable MagiskHide, systemless hosts and systemless busybox
6. Reboot the phone and check safetynet!
Q: Where can I configure the root settings in Magisk?
A: Since Magisk V11.1 Magisk uses MagiskSU, you can find it in latest Magisk Manager V4.1
Questions about Snapchat:
Q: What to do when I can't login to snapchat?
A: Clean install the rom without root and login to your snapchat, save the app with titanium backup, flash back root. For the next update of the rom just restore snapchat backup in TB.
Q: Any other possibility?
A: You could enable MagiskHide and check Snapchat inside it so root will be hidden from Snapchat. You will be able to perfectly login without any issues.
Questions about Kernels:
Q: I want to switch kernel, how?
A: We have systemless we have patches in ramdisk of boot.img. This means you have to reflash Magisk and supersu (or any other zip that changes some stuff in ramdisk partition) after every change of kernel!
Q: I got random reboots, heeelp!
A: This is most likely from a custom kernel, if you face random reboots please check if you have the latest kernel installed or switch back to the stock kernel included in the rom.
Questions about S8 Ports:
Q: I have the problem that on each game I start, the screen becomes black, why?
A: This happens on all roms if you haven't selected S8 navbar AND updated game tools via samsung store. I will explain: the new s8 has an updated game launcher which works together with the navbar. The rom itself includes an older version of that app to work well if you don't choose the navbar. If you update the game launcher, the store will think you got a s8 (as this is a full s8 port). After that it installs you most recent s8 game tools and you got this issue with black screen! Solution: don't update that game tools!!
Q: I have a GAP on the stock launcher with no s8 navbar, why?
A: Samsung recently started to update all their apps via playstore. So if you update the launcher via play store, the app will be stock from samsung and not modded anymore. Means that GAP will appear again after the update. Solution: simply don't update the app
Q: I have a virtual home button on the AOD and it won't go away!
A: You should be able to update the AOD app via samsung store, that will fix it.
Q: On AOD analog clock I can't see the clock seconds and hours on the first clock, all others are working fine. How to solve?
A: I'm aware of this and will try to fix it on upcoming updates!
Q: How can I get camera stickers to work?
A: By flashing the provided fix from the OP
Q: How can I get secure folder working again?
A: I dropped support for secure folder officially, but there have been some discussion about a fix, check it here

Stickers which are on the s8 (similar to whatsapp) they do not work due to the hardware difference in camera
Cool :laugh: downloading right now. One question: will substratum for s8 also be supported in this rom? If it's not then it's understandable ? (rom already has customizable systemui so it doesnt matter that much)
Hey Tkkg, amazing work on SuperMan!! , but wheres the differece between batman and superman rom now? :/

How to install first time
* First of all, make a complete backup of all your photos and internal data in the computer, since the first installation requires to eliminate ALL the sdcard content, given the encryption of Android Nougat and later; the one that warns you is not a traitor, you are going to lose all the data (just as it happens if you install other ROMS). This is due to (in turn) that if we have not formatted the sdcard, it will not boot for security protection data of the cited encryption,
* With TWRP Recovery (read tutorials on how to install it) we will make another backup, but this time System, Data, Cache, Boot, and especially the EFS (important).
* Download the ZIP flasheable and pass it to the internal memory of the phone (no matter if we have already formatted it or not).
* Restart on TWRP recovery
* Make Wipes: System, Data, Dalvik, Cache.
* Install from Recovery the EpicROM ZIP flasheable and wait for it to appear okay (If you get error 7 the TWRP in the step of "formating system / extracting system", restart in recovery immediately, and reinstall it, this is due that in Nougat you must re-generate the system partition for encryption topics, so it will install you, it should work like the rest of us )
* We reboot in fastboot mode once the rom has been installed correctly. To do this, we can do it from TWRP in REBOOT / Fastboot or by holding down the power button and the volume down button until FASTBOOT and Mitu appear by soldering an Android robot. In this step, we connect the mobile to the computer, and in the same folder that can be downloaded from en.miui.com/unlock (to unblock the bootloader) click inside that folder in a blank space in the right mouse click while holding the SHIFT key on the keyboard; a window will appear and the "open command window" option should appear. We tapped on that window. When it opens, if you open powershell (blue screen) from windows 10, type cmd and press enter. If you open the classic cmd of all life (BLACK SCREEN) we are already where we want.
* Type in the cmd (be powershell or cmd) fastboot format userdata and press enter. There will be formatted all our mobile, and restarting it will work everything.
* Restart normally and configure. Remember that the first start takes a little longer, from there, it will always light fast. In the following versions, it will NOT BE MISSING to do all this, just install without wipes and to run. I already adapt it so that I clean what I have to clean with each update EXCEPT that I expressly say something else in that UPDATE.
* Enjoy (and re-pass all data previously backed up to the internal memory).
How to install UPDATE from Epic ROM 6.X.XX / 7.X.XX

Awesome! Thank you so much for making this. Downloading now!
Thank you very much for the hard work and sharing with the community!
I have one question: What is the difference between this version of the rom and the "Epic Rom for Mi MIx2"? Can I simply update version 7.11.16 which is currently installed on my device using the version in this post, without doing a wipe?
Thank you!

This one is Global base, so, sadly, you'll need a clean install (fastboot format userdata included).
This is much better (new notification shade from Xiaomi was added)
Thanks i will try it but link doesnt work!
Wow. This is epic. So basically I get the Epic Team improved MIUI, but AOSP notifications? So my notifications will actually work with MIUI now? Really? No joke?? THanks a lot! Truly Epic.
Can someone confirm this has Japanese language? Usually I have to use MoreLocale to enable it. Thank you.
Nice job OP!
Thanks for the hard work and supporting this awesome device!
Ok so I flashed Rom noticed volte wasn't working took me about 30 minutes but finally figured it out. Go to settings search region. Change to your correct region and you have volte. Not sure about others but here in USA. It was set to Spain by default. All is good now. ??
Thanks i will try. it works perfectly
@MrRaines why can not change dpi, everything is very small How to use stock dpi?
I have formatted internal storage/data already when I switched to Validus.
Is formatting data needed if I switch frfromnother custom ROM or is a factory reset enough?
I'm doing the fastboot format userdata thingy from my ADB folder. But nothing happens. I push in the command and nothing happens. No output at all. Just the blinking underscore in CMD. I can't type anything else.
If I use fastboot devices, my phone does show up. What do I do wrong?
Fastboot reboot also works, so it does react to fastboot commands I guess?
Does it include 5x6 home screen layout?

I had the same issues which drove me crazy. Fastboot devices returned the correct code, any other fastboot commands seemed to crash without any message.
I ended up using another computer which had never seen any Android stuff before.
With the stock theme.. or any of the themes for that matter except the ones included with really small icons all have an issue where icons are smaller than they usually appear and the text underneath is almost touching the icon.
Anyone have this problem ?

Right........... so flashed this now I'm getting
'Can't get valid device ID' on the first boot, no WIFI no Signal. Great.
Also can you not add epic recovery.
Some help would be really appreciated.
Things I've done:
Reflashed fastboot Xiaomi global rom (dev)
Wiped all with fastboot format userdata
reinstalled this rom - still no valid device ID.
Downloaded again, seems to be okay now....
