[ROM] ColorOS 2.0.8 STABLE KITKAT FIND7/7A lite edition R3

I will keep this ROM updated, always help when I can, and open to suggestions that users may want implemented into the ROM. My goal is to keep the ROM Clean, Stable, with great performance without compromising battery life.
This ROM has had the following MODS
UNIFIED IS HERE! see post #2
Improved GPS
Ad blocking hosts file.
Super SU - FULL ROOT! Remember to grant andriod system root access on first boot!
Build prop mods
420 DPI - (sorry QHD users)
Thanks to Tantrums.
It does NOT flash recovery. So if you have TWRP 2.8.6.0 then it won't get replaced with OPPO recovery.
Removed Apps
Engineering mode
Google search
Google Drive
Hangouts
Google TTS
Chrome
Google mags
Google books
Glass lock screen
Facebook
Google music
IFly speech
Play games
More to come soon...
First of all download the ROM here and save it to your SD card
If you have stock recovery you will need to go into fastboot mode (hold power + vol up until the phone vibrates)
With you phone in fastboot boot and connected to USB (make sure you have installed oppo drivers) flash the TWRP img file.
Reboot the phone into recovery (Pwr + vol down)
In recovery select advanced wipe select everything except internal and external storage.
Then go to install and select the rom you have downloaded.
Enjoy.
I have found this to be a very stable/fast ROM with very few problems.

It's already been done. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/development/rom-makulayos-rom-t2863295
My plan is to try and keep the ROM slim, fast and stable.
I know it's similar to Tantrums ROM, but I am new to ROM building and am taking one step at a time.

How is the battery life on this.. ?
And what will the mods do for your phone contra if the werent there.. ?

Nice to see a post here, sniperjoe. I love your approach. Thanks for removing google bloat. I had to uninstall them everytime i wanted to try colorOs! Good job!
Thanks

Battery life has improved a bit, but there is more free RAM available and less processes running in the background.
Here are the tweaks I have included.

Does the error notification (3 dots) is being repaired?

Im sorry if i am being annoying its just that i had this 2,0,3 beta from oppo, and i liked how it looked but it drained my battery like crazy.. ?
Can you please upload some screenshot.. ? were we can se ram usage and battery maybe.. ?
I really wanna try this but i just had som major problems on the normal 2.0.3 so i dont wanna do it right away

No it has not been repaired. It's not a bug.
The only way to fix this is to change your launcher.
If people want it I will create a goggle now launcher version.

Yes i saw that, so i hope there isn't a problem here just did advance wipe and flashing it now i will be over in a sec..
EDIT:
It flashed perfect so far everything is fine no problems what so ever, however if i should point out one thing, it uses around 1gig of ram now, on my old 1.2.6i were i had deleted some stock apps it used about 790 - 810
So i used a bit more ram, i guess that the normal 2.0.3 uses even more..

Yeah, oppo's apps are a bit bigger, I was going to take them out of the image, but then there is no point on having ColorOS if I do that.
I would recommend to all users to uninstall unused apps. (for example oppo music eats ram) You might need rom toolbox app to help you with this.

Using Cm10.1 with data2sd
Hi Niks255,
Thanks for your work on wildfire s, I have been using your cm 10.1 on my wfs since its release with data2sd script.
Now, I really want to shift to your cm 10 for wfs as it is faster and smoother. Is there any way of doing this without loosing me apps as I have read on some threads that data2sd can mess with back-ups.
or it will be fine if I just make a back up and flash this cm 10 rom and restore back up ?
am sorry for the noob question, as you can see my name I am a really a noob in these stuff
thanks in advance

I recommend a clean installation. CM10.1 is a lot different than CM10.
You can backup your apps using Helium or TItanium Backup.

hi, how about battery life and deep sleep compared to 2.3.5 official? thanks for this great rom and debugging, you rock!

Hi, so I am running now your ROM for the third day and it is awesome! I see only some graphic bugs like when I tried to connetct to wifi, the form appear in status bar and one time i get lock screen somehow in status bar. Will it be solved? Otherwise its perfect ROM, I like it!

Well, im finally runnin this rom, int2extv2+ seems to be flawless than S2E (maybe i dont know how to setup, but int2extv2+ its a lot simplier than simple2ext, so its a bit taste of irony for me )
Things i like about this rom:
*Its smoothier and stable, at least more for every android4 roms that i have ever tried on the WFS
*It's like able to daily driver, cause of good RIL (atm dont find any RIL comedown)
*Android4! every WFS will need it for resurge like a phoenix from the ashes, its so cool, thanks for made it.
*Customizations!
Things i think probably work better on next builds
*Graphic glitches in the framework u.u
*Battery drain with screen on
*Touchscreen sensibility
ONE THING PLEASE, PLEASE HELP:
I can't overwrite gps.conf in this rom, im trying this patch [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713], tried flashable zip over recovery [aborted error:0], tried adb push [error: cant copy files files/dir] and i've tried root explorer and modify it manually, i can read it but i cant write it, i have tried changing permissions with ES Explorer and none of these things works u.u
Sorry my english, is anybody out there?

Hi, ive done some research about the touchscreen issue and i have found some interesting probes, lets see:
Its marked my finger direction and where it comes buggy, maybe in newer versions it works properly so a touchscreen fix maybe could be ported from cm10.2 or cm11, if not please tell me how can i can help u!
Thanks for this rom, battery life with screen off is SUPERB and its great! i'm fascinated with this rom!
Hope it will be helpfully

PLEASE ANYONE COULD TELL ME IF A RIL (RADIO INTERFACE LAYER) IS PRESENT AFTER A FEW ACTIVATIONS/DEACTIVATIONS OF IT OR 2G/3G SWITCH?
Please, im facing this problem and i don't know if my friend just bugged something or its a bug on al cm-branched roms, or if anyone faced this and get some feedback to fix it, please i love this rom but this bug make it unusable for my dear friend...
Love u xda, hope anyone read this and help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee D:

no problems with RIL here, what problems exactly are you having
also good work nik
i had a problem with TTS too but its relatesd to the Gapps thats used, you have to use full gapps to get the best experience
from here is what i used , gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
and do a full wipe in recovery
wipe factory reset / data
wipe system (advanced-Format system) (this helps on wildfire s for some reason)
- flash cm10 rom zip
- flash cronmod int2ext+
- flash gapps gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
if this improves things for anyone else, let us know
hope this helps

also ive been getting russian text here and there
i think the reason might be, errors in build.prop
you have duplicate entries you have EN and RU
also they are incorrect and should be like so
British english
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro,producl.locale.region=GB
American usa
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro,producl.locale.region=US
you have it incorrect
=ru, =ru
and

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

getting error 7 while installing.

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

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

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

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

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

Click to expand...

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

Z6 Pro official Chinese Stock ROM 11.1.105 and OTA to 11.5.229

Hi all,
I thought it might be useful have a thread dedicated to talking ONLY about official Chinese Stock ROM.
I received my Z6 Pro with a very poor Global ROM, so quickly decided to try the true official ROM, hoping despite its weaknesses it would get far more frequent updates.
Just for reference, here is how I flashed:
Used as a guide the "UNBRICKING / FLASH FIRMWARE LENOVO Z6 PRO L78051" tutorial from boycracked
Official stock roms can be downloaded here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=303091 (CN 11.1.105 'android P' or CN 11.5.229 'Android Q' or even RoW 11.0.405 'Android P')
Required tools and drivers here : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=303090
Some key steps:
Get phone ready (important) :
Gain access to developer options
Enable USB debugging
Enable unlocking Bootloader (it won't actually unlock it!)
Get computer ready (also important)
Install QDLoader HS-USB Driver 9008
Install latest version of QPST (2.7.474)
Flash with step in boycracked "unbricking Z6 pro" webpage or using this guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/rom-lenovo-z6-pro-l78051-qpst-edl-t3947149
This are additional tips to avoid errors :
Copy/move flash rom file to bin subfolder of Qfil in 'program file' might help resolve errors
Get Qfil ready with recommended settings. Make sure “Erase all date before download” is NOT selected in configuration / firehose.
Connect USB cable
Reboot phone in EDL mode (adb command or press power + both volume buttons), COM port should appear in Qfil as "QDLoader 9008"
As soon as phone reached EDL mode and phone shows in Qfil quickly press Download. If for any reason it did not work, switch off phone again and reboot to EDL.
Ok so that will take you to official CN rom 11.1.105 which is a very stable android 9 rom released sometime in September.
Or CN 11.5.229, which is currently best choice and will keep being updated.
Now get rid of Chinese apps and install play store from the Chinese App Centre and that's it.
WARNING : DO NOT USE GOOGLEINSTALLER APK AND DON'T INSTALL GOOGLE ACCOUNT MANAGER
Googleinstaller.apk is not needed on CN roms, it will install apps that are not longer required. AND it will brick 11.5.x CN rom based phones!
Some users successfully moved to 11.5.x . Everything worked well until he used googleinstaller.apk
All is needed in CN Roms is playstore that is available in Zui App Center. Just in case make sure you don't have google account manager installed before applying OTA to Zui 11.5!
BE AWARE: There are several limitations or bugs in CN roms:
- (IF U-Touch is turned on) Can't use custom Launchers (Nova, Action...). Unfortunately they don't work and will freeze phone, make U-touch crash / no acces to recent apps. [fixed from CN 11.5.269]
- Backup to Google Drive does not work.
- Whatsapp notifications sometime don't appear until you run the app manually. (fix is simply to : (1) white list app in auto run, (2) lock it in app recent drawer, (3) exclude it from battery optimisation and (4) when reboot phone manually launch app so that it sits in ram).
- Some messaging apps' including Whatsapp's notifications won't generate ring or vibration :
FIX: WhatsApp no sound notification fix for CN roms:
- Get Notificon app from PlayStore (here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=notificon.gsy.com.notificon) to trigger sound each time selected apps generate a notification in the bar.
- Works for whatsapp, but make sure you disable the unnecessary notifications there like "Media Playback" otherwise Notificon will ring for no reason and you won't be able to listen to voice memos.
- (IF U-Touch is turned on) Morelocale app (which allows to use languages not included in the ROM) also totally crash ZUI... So rom has to be used in English. CONFIRMED WORKING FROM 11.5 CN ROMS !
How to use MoreLocale to get all your apps to use the language of your choice :
.Get the app from play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
.Enable USB debugging from Developer Options and from a command prompt on PC, type this : adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
.Everytime you reboot phone, you will need to go to morelocale app and pick the language of your choice!
So really as long as you are ok to fiddle around to tweak stock app and to use English language (or turn off U-touch). ZUI CN is the best official Rom option, if you need to keep bootloader locked.
Since it is untouched stock you will get OTAs to next upgrades:
11.5.269 (Android 10) released mid-January ; it is now a very stable beta release, I used it daily and it works great.
What I noticed:
- fix issues with morelocale and U-Touch.
- Improved photo quality and camera app layout
- Android Q!
- Dark Theme
- Custom launchers now work
- Still no google drive backup / Notificon required for whatsapp sound notifications.
There NOW is a full rom flashable Qfil file available to get directly to CN rom 11.5.229. As BL remains locked and system stock, OTAs will come as and when they are released.
Please report other issues / tips for improvements.
This will no longer be updated as I have now moved to RevengeOS : this is THE Custom rom alternative we were all waiting for. Works 100% great and Lucchetto who created it also managed to port the stock Camera app which means we don't loose the ability to access all cam lenses !
Thanks

Hmmm... Actually Utouch seem to be working great with 11.1.105.
No wifi problem either.
BUT still can't set a language other than English and kind of forced to stick to ZUI launcher.
So as of now phone with Chinese ROM is enjoyable and very powerful, despite room for improvement.
As for ZUK Z2 Pro in the past, official Chinese ROM are far better than any 'global' release... But need some tuning.
PS: I love uTouch

My phone is with CN 11.0.575 and parched with the ZaZz version (The .bat 00_flashrom.bat anywhere), i already have TWRP Recovery and now is rooted with Magisk. I CAN HELP WITH AL THE PROBLEMS OF YOUR SOFTWARE, But, now i want to install the ROW Secure 11.0.284 version, i cant, i dont know if is the version of my QFIL, the drivers, but the process just arribe to system_3.img and stay every time that ypu want.

I guess this is the main issue with Chinese ROM... Whatsapp notifications don't work well.
Still running tests, but there are like 4 places to watch for to help with notifications:
- permissions
- notifications from the app setup screen
- Auto start
- Battery optimisation
....
And probably more.

Without notification how can you use a phone ?

Nope,
read my mini tutorial further up. You need to "enable unlocking" in developer options, but you won't actually unlock it! Hence you stay stock and get OTA !

Okay. Everything is just like u said got two ota updates. Notifications are not stable but not a big deal. But my mobile signal rate is too low dont know why. Any info about it? Thank you

My signal is fine. Have you checked that Z6 Pro have the bands used in your country and/or by your provider?

Disabling most Chinese apps is very easy. Either from Zui home page or go to settings / apps and you can uninstall or disable what you want.
Installing google play : I did that through the app centre (this is the chinese equivalent of google play) search for google play and you're done.

Are notifications fine out of the box in last cn version or you've to set some permissions?

See previous posts about that.
To summarize, most notifications like calls, sms, emails... Work fine.
I had more trouble with whatsapp. Needs to allow in autostart, exclude from battery optimization, allow notifications... And to be safe, launch it manually after phone reboot.

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

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

Samsung note fe base???

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

Can't use GPay

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

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

Download and trying to install tonight

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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