[Fix] CM 12.1 Nerflix issue (solved) - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hello every one,
since iam unable to post in the dev section (new account) i decided to post my findings in here, feel free do move this post into the dev section ...
I got the Netflix application finaly working on my Note 8.0 (gt n5100) with cyanogenmode 12.1 (Build Date 2015-10-07)
Disclamer
Iam not responsible for any damages that accur during this process, you do this on your own risk, if you havent heard about softbricking your phone you should stop right here!
The Issue:
After starting the Netflix app, now login screen appears, instead there is the red loading circle spinning in an endless loop
The Fix
Components involved:
For the fix i used the official Xposed Framework for Android Lolipop (5.0 - 5.1) - arm version 75 and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
The flashable zip which supposedly fixes the netflix issue (didnt work for me, but since i flashed it iam not sure if its part of the solution) http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8-0/development/netflix-fix-t3200644/post62954762
The Xposed module which fixes the netflix issue for CM 10.1 Exynos devices http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101525
Furthermore you need TWRP, CWM, or any other recovery to flash the Xposed Framework and the fix
HowTo:
Backup your current rom!!! (Ive ended up several times in a bootloop after trying out different versions of the Xposed Framework, so make sure you have a BACKUP)
Install the Xposedinstaller apk (from component link #1)
Go into your recovery and flash the Xposed Framework (from component link #1) (reboot the system and see if the framework works)
Go back into your recovery and flash the flashable netflix fix (from component link #2 - as i said iam not sure if this is part of the solution, feel free to skip this step and try out if it works for you, iam too lazy to flash back atm )
Install the Xposed module apk (from component link #3) and activate the installed apk in the Xposed Framework application.
Reboot your device and start the Netflix application, which should now load propperly and you should be able to login
Enjoy watching Netflix on your phablet again
Since iam not sure if the flashable fix (component #2) was necessary i cant say if this works for all exynos4 devices, but feel free to try it out and post you findings
Best Regards
Lord Uranus

Xposed installer for Zenfones

hey guys,
Was just browsing through the threads and i came across this one..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/tool-installer-xposed-installer-zenfones-t2983589
This guy has developed Xposed framework especially for Zenfone's and Intel X86 devices...Since we have a Intel based device... Can we use this on our zenfone 2?
give a try and revert

I will but what if i get a bootloop or my device gets bricked?? How should i recover from it? By flashing via adb??
Doesent work. Last updated 2014.
i've tried => not working and as per Rovo, xposed for lollipop is only for arm7 for the moment..
Damn... That sucks eggs big time...
Hopefully as more devices come out with the 64bit cores this might change, wouldn't hurt if the devs also got these devices, TWRP would also be nice...
fyi, there's a patched version released yesterday on taiwanese forum. so i guess it will soon be here on xda.
The Zenfone 2 is on 32bits version of Lolipop so an updated version of Xposed for X86 should work

working on my ZE551ML
just follow this guideline http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/05/zenfone-2-install-android-50-xposed-framework.html?m=1
1 - connect zenfone with USB ( debug on)
2 - launch InstallXposedFramework.bat (phone will reboot)
wait framework installation is finished (a bit longer coz xposed wipe ART cache)
3 - Launch InstallXposedInstaller.bat to install xposed apk.
In your case step 3 is useless coz you have already installed the apk (be sure it's the latest apk..Alpha2).

Thanks its working now :good:
Good. Now i don't need to release pre-patched public system.img
I didn't look into installer, but you need to be careful when you use Xposed modules. Since we don't have custom recovery, it's not easy to recover from bootloop if some module will prevent system loading.
Keep spare system.img without Xposed, so you can flash it in case if you can't boot. Although, i'm not sure if it will be able to boot after Xposed modifications in cache.
Many Many Many thanks for your work Sorg !!!
my idea was, if getting in bootloop, to put phone in fastboot mode and reflash system.img preroot by Shakalaca (if i remember, after flashed system.img , ART cache is wiped)
i've tested Install and remove scripts installer and all worked ok
I've my phone since 1 week and it's already rooted and xposed compatible. Wonderful life
Edit : bootloop with Xprivacy (bootloop solved by fastboot flash preroot system.img)

[UNOFFICIAL] xposed-v74-sdk21-arm64-dl12345-UNOFFICIAL-20150929 for Xperia Z3+

NOTE: this is simply an unofficial build from the latest github sources. I claim no credit for anything other than doing a build and making a binary download available.
All credit to rovo89 for the amazing work he does. The official releases can be found in this thread
Xposed bootloops on Xperia Z3+ when installing a new ROM. Please see this thread for an explanation. The following commit fixes the problem (except for an initial two bootloops).
This build contains no modifications but includes the commit that is not available in the current v74 release. This enables Xposed to run on a custom ROM on Xperia Z3+.
Installation Instructions
Reboot to TWRP
Wipe cache and dalvik
Install xposed-v74-sdk21-arm64-dl12345-UNOFFICIAL-20150929.zip
Wipe cache and dalvik again for good measure
Reboot - it will bootloop twice. On the third boot you should be ok.
Install the XposedInstaller available for download from the official thread
Downloads
xposed-v74-sdk21-arm64-dl12345-UNOFFICIAL-20150929.zip
Thanks! Been waiting for this. I'll revert with any hiccups I might encounter.
Thanks will try now
@dl12345
Would your build work work for the other 64bit xperia devices?
esp. Tbalet Z4?
I'm longing for XPrivacy...
Yes, it'll work. It's not device specific, just an arm64 build from the latest sources. XPrivacy works fine
Any feedback? Does this build work for you?
I've had 0 errors so far!
Just make sure to follow the guide (wipe cache + dalvik) and let the phone do it's thing. (2 bootloops, 3 boots)
Great, thanks for confirming

I'm doing everything as it says in the tutorial and it just won't work :/
get the latest official v78

I tried to used xposed-v74-sdk21-arm64-dl12345-UNOFFICIAL-20150929 on Sony Z4 tablet and did everything as it said in the tutorial ,but it still bootlooped.... So I used xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64to uninstall it on recovery.And then I used official xposed-v78-sdk23-arm64 and it show "E:updaterprocess ended with error=1". I reboot and I can't find xposed. Do I make any mistakes?

Have you gotten this to work eventually? I'm struggling to get Xposed to work properly on my Z4 Tablet (without causing it to randomly reboot), but so far v78 and v79 (SDK21, ARM64) cause a random reboot (black screen, red blinking LED and a full reboot).
Anything pre v78 probably won't work, because of the update notes on v78 that state problems due to security fixes from 5.1+ incorporated into 5.0.x are fixed in that build. I'm sure Sony is on tyhat boat as well, Stagefright's been fixed on the Z4T's 5.0.2 ROM..
How can I uninstall framework it is greyed out and I'm having trouble logging into snap chat

[RESEARCH] Xposed on stock Samsung A8 Oreo 8.0 SDK26

What's this about?
I'm starting this thread in order to keep track of the state of Xposed on the Galaxy A8 (2018). Current status: Working. (Updated Jan 2019.) Model: SM-A530F. Android: 8.0.0 (Oreo). ROM: stock, baseband A530FXXU2BRG1, kernel 4.4.13-13824581-QB18772733 from Mon Jul 2, 2018.
Why wouldn't Xposed be working? Xposed works on Oreo!
Yes, but not necessarily for Samsung. Samsung has custom ART libraries, and additional quirks such as xz compression, custom methods etc. There were custom Xposed builds made for Samsung LP/MM ROMs, but there are currently none that are confirmed working for stock N/O (no longer the case!). Symptoms of a non-working Xposed include lag, freezes, spontaneous reboots, bootlops and dissapearing baseband info in settings "about phone" (inability to recognize SIM).
How can I live without Xposed if I can't/won't get it working?
Depends on what modules you need. Things like Greenify or microG/UnifiedNLP can work without Xposed, by installing them as system apps. (Yes, you lose SafetyNet, but SafetyNet is lost anyway with Xposed.) XPrivacy can in theory be replaced with things like AppOps or the LineageOS permissions system (yes, I know that there's no LineageOS build for A8 2018 at this time, sadly.) You can also mitigate privacy implications by using a firewall like AFWall+ (it's a good idea even with XPrivacy). Feel free to suggest other alternatives in comments.
Requirements:
You should be familiar with the current state of custom kernel/recovery/root/magisk for the A8 2018. In short, in order to be able to try Xposed builds, you should have on hand the following:
1. Odin 3.13 or later. (Heimdall will NOT work, it cannot unpack the latest Samsung images. JODIN is not confirmed to work either. Use Odin in a virtual machine such as VirtualBox if you're on Mac/Linux.)
2. The official stock images for your device. Download from sammobile.com, updato.com, samdb.org. It is recommended to re-flash clean stock images whenever you try new versions of anything (recovery, kernel, magisk etc.)
3. TWRP version 3.2.3 or later. (courtesy of BlackMesa)
4. Also from the TWRP thread, you MUST get the RMM and no-verity fixes! RMM bypasses the Samsung theft "protection", which can soft-brick your phone for several days if tripped. no-verity removes the system partition anti-tamper protection, which would otherwise not allow you to boot.
5. Last but not least, Magisk and Magisk Manager are confirmed to work well. Install the latest Magisk (v18.0 at the time of writing this).
BlackMesa's Custom Kernel is OPTIONAL and in fact I haven't been able to get it working 100% perfectly. All the kudos to BlackMesa for the work he's put into it, it's the closest thing we have to a potential future LineageOS build, and includes LOTS of useful fixes, but remember that YMMV. If you install the kernel you don't need the opt-verity and RMM fixes. If you don't, Xposed works fine on stock kernel too. Again, this is OPTIONAL as far as Xposed is concerned.
In the same vein, if you're only interested in testing Xposed you can flash it from TWRP, you don't necessarily need Magisk (but it's highly recommended).
Before you start:
SafetyNet will be lost if you install non-systemless Xposed. Period. This can't be fixed by hiding Magisk from specific apps, it's about getting that green "SafetyNet check" in the main Magisk screen. If you don't get that, there are apps that will refuse to work, end of story.
You can live with it by installing older versions of certain apps (if you can get your hands on the APKs), back when they were not SafetyNet-enabled. Works fine for older version of Netflix for example (4.15.1 build 14947). Also works for my local bank's app.
INSTALL PROCEDURE:
Follow this procedure carefully. It will hurt if you don't.
* Get the RMM and no-verity fixes from the TWRP thread linked above. Get Magisk from the link above. Put them all on the SD card and put the SD card inside the phone.
* With the phone booted to system normally, turn ON the "OEM unlock" option in developer settings and never, ever turn it off again. If you do, the phone will soft-brick and you'll have to reflash stock images to make it work again.
* If you are starting from a pristine install you don't need to [re]flash the stock images. However, it's strongly recommended to perform a factory reset before you continue. If you're coming from a different kernel/ROM etc. you have to flash the stock images, this guide assumes you're on stock Oreo.
* Turn off the autoreboot option in Odin. Flash the TWRP .tar image in the AP slot in Odin. I repeat, DO NOT BOOT TO SYSTEM. From this moment and until you install the RMM fix you can potentially trip Samsung's theft protection. Proceed exactly as described below.
* Remove the USB cable from the phone. Press and hold Power+VolumeUp+VolumeDown to reboot and immediately after the reboot press and hold Power+VolumeUp to enter TWRP recovery. Do not reboot to system yet.
* Swipe to allow modifications when entering TWRP.
* Format /data. Reboot to recovery. Do not install TWRP when prompted.
* Swipe to allow modifications when entering TWRP.
* Verify that data is mounted, in the mount menu.
* Install RMM and no-verity fixes from SD card. (Alternatively, you can install BlackMesa's kernel instead at this point. It includes the RMM/no-verity fixes. Please note that I've personally experienced some problems with it. Using the stock kernel + RMM/no-verity fixes seems rock solid on the other hand.)
* You can now reboot to system. Do not install TWRP when prompted.
* This first boot to system can take as much as 15-20 minutes. The Samsung logo and the blue led will flash throughout this time. Let it work, be patient.
* Verify that the phone seems to work ok.
* Reboot to TWRP recovery (restart the phone then use Power+VolumeUp immediately after reboot).
* Swipe to allow modifications when entering TWRP.
* Install Magisk.
* Reboot to system. Do not install TWRP when prompted.
* Verify that Magisk Manager shows green SafetyNet check passed.
* Install Xposed Framework from Magisk Manager modules (NOT Xposed Framework SDK systemless).
* Start the Xposed app and use its own reboot option, to make it ask for root. Grant root forever. The phone will restart.
* Verify that Xposed shows green (working) message, and that Magisk shows red (SafetyNet check not passed) message.
* You may need to reboot one more time if Xposed says that it was installed but not active. You want Xposed Manager to show a solid green background banner in the main screen.
You can now install Xposed modules.
* If you want XPrivacy, you need to install XPrivacyLua. The old XPrivacy module is available and can be installed but it will NOT work, it is simply incompatible with Android version past Marshmallow. Yes, XPrivacyLua is different but it works well after you get used to it.
* I recommend also installing AFWall+ or NetGuard firewall, because in Oreo access to Internet is no longer an app permission (all apps get access to Internet; crazy huh? Google privacy FTW) so there's nothing that XPrivacy can do about it.
* Alternatively there's an XPrivacyLua hook which can fake apps into thinking there's no network connection, but it can be bypassed if the app is aware of it; an actual firewall is the best solution.
How should I test Xposed?
The main issues are those described above: freezes, lag, reboots, kills baseband. Xposed itself is working. You can install modules and they will work as expected. This is not a problem with Xposed itself, but rather the bad side-effects when combined with a Samsung ROM. So in order to declare a build as "working" please make sure that none of the above issues appear when you install it, activate it, install various modules, and use it for a while. When the bad things happen you'll know it, they will be very obvious.
What Xposed versions have been tested?
* Xposed-Framework-Unity v89/90b3r18 (non-systemless Magisk module or installed via TWRP). Working.
* Xposed Framework (SDK 26) 90.2-beta3 (systemless Magisk module). Not working. Red error message in Xposed.
What Xposed modules are working?
Here are modules that have been reported working. Doesn't mean these are the only ones that work, but it's not a guarantee either. Try it for yourself.
* XPrivacyLua [added Jan 11, 2019]
* GravityBox [O] [added Jan 11, 2019]
* AFWall+ [added Jan 11, 2019]
* Greenify [added Jan 11, 2019]
* MinMinGuard [added Jan 11, 2019]
* AlwaysCorrect [added Jan 11, 2019]
* RootCloak [added Jan 14, 2019]
* Screenshot Delay Remover [added Jan 14, 2019]
* App Settings [added Feb 5, 2019]
* Disable Flag Secure [added Feb 5, 2019]
* Play Store Fixes [added Feb 5, 2019]
Xposed modules confirmed NOT working
The following modules have been confirmed not to work:
* UnifiedNLP: the Xposed module is abandoned and was never updated for Oreo+, so it's not patching framework-res.apk correctly to add org.microg.nlp to the list of accepted location providers. So the status check will report unable to hook into the location service, and without that it won't work. I'm trying to research an alternative solution in this thread. [added Jan 14, 2019]

Links to bug reports, XDA development threads, useful forum threads etc. You would be well advised to read through these links to gain a better understanding of the issues involved:

I have used Xposed on 8.0 with only one issue it boots up slower but I lost too much on updating to 8.0 so I went back to 7.1.1.

What build was it, and from where?
I can't say I've noticed it booting slower (with Xposed installed from Magisk).
If you want to use Xposed I recommend using SuperSU with it.

Can you recommend a combination of Xposed/SuperSU/A8 ROM that worked for you? I haven't had much luck with the latest official versions on Oreo.
Did you also flash one of BlackMesa's kernels, or used the no-verity and RMM fixes?
In what order did you flash all these things?

Has anyone tried this, i currently don't own this phone but my friend does..he would like to have xposed for one reason, to run Xinsta module
https://github.com/android-hacker/VirtualXposed
I've been holding off installing Xposed to hear more from others' experience. But I'm getting really tired of the unnecessary icons in the status bar (alarm clock, do not disturb, vibrate, etc.) and I'm not interested in installing a 3rd party launcher. So who else has installed Xposed on the A8? Has anyone else gotten it running without a problem?

If you dont like the icons in status bar, install good lock, that is the most official way to change ur status bar icons, you can find good lock in the galaxy apps store

Been trying this for a few days with and without root and doesn't seem to do anything, seems like it's not supporting Samsung ROMs atm or something like that (i've been also trying to use Xinsta as it's pretty much the only Xposed module i normally use)

I'm on a A530F, with (Oreo T-Mobile Netherlands, Baseband A530FXXU3BRG1).
Rooted phone, Magisk v17.1 and have Mesa's MCK v2 kernel installed, included official TWRP recovery 3.2.3.0.
I can confirm that I use Xposed for more than a day now, and it is running perfect with 4 modules installed still no loss of baseband or spontaneous reboots, and it does not boot up slow when you restart your device.
Battery live is good, you can boost it with Greenify.
I use Xposed framework version 90-beta3, only not installed from magisk did that before but unsuccessfully, so I tried it again this time it holds with the v2 Mesa kernel.
So this way works for me, you can try it but do not install Xposed systemly through Magisk.
One more thing, be aware that it is a beta version not official so not all modules will work, what works for me are GrafityBox, Seraj Xperia Home X (0), Flat Style Bar Indicators and Greenify Xposed module, try different modules for yourself see what works.
Its bin three days now since I have installed Xposed, and still running smooth. No freezes, dissapearing baseband or fc.
No problems at all!

Thanks for the heads-up. I've been meaning to get around to installing it as I have on my other previous phones, but have just been lazy. Good to know GravityBox seems to be working fine, as it's the only module I use.

You're welcome! Wow, you had a lot of cell phones.
Yeah at first I was also lazy, but I got some spare time and started to research Xposed on my Phone.
Now Xposed is active for 6 days on my phone whithout a problem.
So I guess that Xposed version 90-beta3 is working at least for me, if you are used to Xposed then try it out!
I hope that the official stable version for Oreo comes out soon for compatibility with almost all modules, but for now I am satisfied with the beta-version.
Here are some screenshots of my phone with Xposed installed.

Thanks. Yup, I already installed it last night. Only took a couple minutes and have had no problems with it today at work. I rarely have had issues with Xposed in the past. Even though it's called beta3, don't expect an upgrade. It's pretty much as good as its going to get. I think it's called a beta only to let people know there are no guarantees, but it's usually a pretty solid piece of software.

Thanks for your confirmation, I'm glad that Xposed worked out for you too.
I've tried the other betas but they didn't work for me, and gave me the baseband and sudden unstable reboot, freezing issues, so maybe there will be an upgrade in the future.
But I think you're right, its pretty solid, as for me with the beta-3 version.

I've been holding off installing Xposed to hear more from others' experience. But I'm getting really tired of the unnecessary icons in the status bar (alarm clock, do not disturb, vibrate, etc.) and I'm not interested in installing a 3rd party launcher. So who else has installed Xposed on the A8? Has anyone else gotten it running without a problem?

You don't need root or xposed for that. Goodlock. Or systemui tuner wirh adb to grant permission.

Just not vibrate. But most of that can be straightened out yesterday with ease.

Quite satisfied with Xposed and root. Have had zero problems with it on the A8. Not interested in an app solution, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Root... xposed... those are app solutions. But for sure some very good ones. I know what you're getting at.
I was implying solutions that are not ad filled junk.

[O][8141/8142][.270] M-ROM: Xposed, Daydream compatible

Hello everyone.
The XZ Premium is the LAST of the Mohawk tribe. It's got the genuine feel of unleashed power.
But this amazing masterpiece really DOES lack great ROMs. And, as you guys are not too active in this field, our Chinese friends took their turn.
So as nobody else did organize it into a separate ROM thread, I present this ROM to you. This ROM is NOT my work.
also, I'm NOT responsible for any damage you might encounter.
You MAY request for some corrections, but, as I'm NOT the author of the ROM, I'm not authorized to modify the ROM, NOR i'm really willing to.
Don't expect any updates from ME!
All I've done is the translating of the installer from Chinese into English, replacing some of the software with the international version, tweaking and making this step-by-step tutorial for you. I've spent a few days testing it, to make sure you guys won't have much trouble.
I did it voluntarily, because this ROM is SO GREAT that I just feel necessary to share it with you guys!

Instructions and download links are in the 2nd and 3rd post.
First of all, you WILL need an Unlocked Bootloader. I hope you know what it means, otherwise you'll have to RTFM.
#. Long ago I've learned from some wise guy who recommended to always flash a full stock FW before installing a custom ROM based on it. You MIGHT or MIGHT NOT want to do it. But I've NOT tested this FW without flashing the full .270 image upfront via Flashtool, with FULL wipes. (Or, flash 16.20 if you want to go for the 1.8.0. Also, HERE is the discussion on it)
Or this .235:Newflasher+.235
0. Push the Aroma-ready TWRP via ADB.
1. Boot into the Recovery (hold power&vol-) and install the ROM. You DON'T HAVE to reboot afterwards, so you might want to add all the other ZIPs to the queue.
2. Install the Xposed-v90-SDK26-arm64-beta3.zip, which contains - no surpsise - Xposed SDK. You might want to install the SYSTEMLESS version of it, but you will need to find and download it yourself and install it at THIS step, instead of this particular zip.
3. Install the Xposed FIX. It has to be done separately for an unknown reason. I've decided NOT to play with it, trying to embed it into the ROM itself, and left it as a separate zip. MAYBE you don't need it if you're not going to use Xposed, but why use this ROM at all then??
4. Install the Kernel Patch. It's the standard Kernel Patch from JanJan.
5. Optionally, you MIGHT want to install the Sound Mod. I recommend you NOT doing so, because the volume on it is cranked up TOO much, and on my device it began producing crackling sound not even reaching the maximum volume.
6. HERE I INSTALL GAPPS. You might NOT need to do so, but if you want to use the phone with Daydream VR, and also if you might want to use Google Camera (sadly no HDR+, but I use it mainly for a cool Bokeh and 3d panoramas!), you'll need to install the SUPER arm64 8.0 package, which is almost 1gb big. Don't worry, we're going to debloat our device in step 7, deleting 80% of that crap...
p.s. To enable Daydream, install Daydream Enabler magisk module from repo
p.p.s. To enable Google Lens, install Google Lens Enabler magisk module from repo. It will also let you backup the photos with the Google Photos app in original quality as if it were the Google Pixel FOR FREE! It WON'T TAKE UP YOUR SPACE!!!
7. Debloater. Here is what it removes:

1.6.1 Google Disk.
1.8.0 - as is!!
Beetle84's contribution, translated 1.8.0 installer
The folder should contain:
aroma-ready twrp.img
1. ROM image. Google, Yandex
2. Xposed SDK
3. Xposed FIX
4. Kernel Patch (JanJan's)
5. Optional Sound Mod (DontBelieve)
7. Optional debloater patch
Enjoy!
Known issues:
#0. I'm not the author of the ROM. I'm only sharing with you what's working for me. I am not a professional developer either. Please remember it's a COMMUNITY, not a workshop.
#1. Substratum DOESN'T WORK.
#2. If you WON'T upgrade your phone fully to stock .270 via FLASHTOOL (!), or if you won't flash the included .235+newflasher beforehand, your G8141 WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY SIGNAL.
#3. SOME G8141 users still report having NO signal. Try flashing your device as G8142, and then flash the G8141 kernel manually before step 4. You can find the Shoey's G8141 kernel inside the zip file of ROM. Don't foget to patch.
#4. If you can't stand the one tab in Settings that's in Chinese, here's the translated settings.apk
1.8.0 settings.apk
#5. DON'T UPDATE XPOSED AND MAGISK.

You are going to hate me, but I still have no signal. This is driving me crazy.
It is a very very fast and stable rom
Used the original 1.6.1 and it is fast

So, you redownloaded the ROM, and you chose the G8141 kernel while installing, and it didn't work?
Are you sure you're using the right files?
Did you flash 235 or 270 beforehand? Try flashing full .270 or 235 upfront and then install this rom on top of it.
Else, I don't know why @amakuramio has no problem with her G8141...

I only translated the installer and embedded the G8141 kernel in it. Adding gBoard doesn't count, so, it's the same ROM you're talking about And yes it's fast!
Very fast!!
Thanks again for your time

Yes, redownloaded your files and installed in this sequence, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and no change with the signal, still not able to pick up a network, even when I search for it and click it, tell me I cannot register on the network.
I did a clean flash of .270 yesterday and started on the files you shared, I will flash .270 from scratch now and run through the files you provided and report back.
I do appreciate all your help, this is just a glitch and hopefully I will have a fully functioning device soon.

Very strange.
By the way. Once you flash the stock FW... Run it and check if your phone receives the signal on the stock FW.
Then try dirty flashing (without wiping /data).
Also, after the full installation, if the signal still doesn't work, try pushing the JanJan's kernel via ADB and patching it, then wipe dalvik/cache and try for luck once more.
If there's no luck, maybe you really need to flash the .235 ~150mb that @amakuramio mentioned. I'll try to find it and then I'll upload it to the Google Disk. I'll let you know when it's there.
Mobfigurz said:

DONE.
Try here
Is your phone provider-locked, or locked to the network, or sim-card, or in any other possible way? Call the provider and tell them you "updated the software and the phone stopped receiving the signal, so you had to roll back to be able to make this call"... Maybe try another SIM card as well... Check everything to exclude every single stupid possibility!

Stock 270 have network signal. Images attached.
I think something is missing, there is nothing I have removed or added to your file collection to alter it, so something must not be doing what it should be doing for single SIM, G8141.
I am going to flash your files over this now and see what happens.
Update - Back to no signal, I think the Kernel is not set for G8141, only G8142.
Update - Flashing JanJan's Kernel obtained from his/her thread gives me the same issue, no signal. I am going to flash from the beginning, stock .270 and then JanJan's kernel and see what happens. But, if I do that and have a signal, would flashing Xposed and the Xposed fix in TWRP without M ROM give me a working Xposed?
UPDATE - The issue is not with JanJan's Kernel,it is with M ROM, as I installed Stock .270, installed JanJan's Kernel and additional files and booted fine, strong signal, Root and DRM, but obviously no Xposed.

I'm sorry bro. I will think what could be causing this issue. I'll try to inspect the differences between 8141 and 8142, but don't expect it to be soon ?

His phone doesn't receive ANY NETWORK. Like if there was no sim-card. With all respect, I don't think your advice is relevant.
But it's surely very important to know that you don't have the signal issue on your 8141.?

After tinkering with the packages and flashing them in different sequences I managed to get going. In M ROM Aroma installer I ignored the G8141 option and let it flash the G8142 files and bingo, Network Signal and showing SIM 1, the software thinks it is a 8142 and I tinkered some more, got Xposed running, but then, I had a major issue, System UI crashed and would not re-appear after installing some Xposed modules.
I think, if I can find 12.75 I am just going back to that, I just need a stable, working phone for daily use and though others seem to work, mine does not. SO I thank you all for your help and assistance.
Who knows where I can get a '3 UK' 12.75 ftf or any 12.75 ftf as Xperifirm does not keep older roms?

[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.

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!

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!
