ROMs Comparison - Differences & Reviews - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there, I haven't updated my Note II (N7100) in a while so I was wondering what's on the custom ROMs scene these days.
Long story short, I came across a popular few listed below but it doesn't do much to help differentiate one ROM from another. While it's easy to say "give each a try & find out for yourself", I was hoping we can be a bit more objective to describe the functionality of each ROM & what they feature to make them stand out from the rest.
Ideally, I can keep the list updated following your feedback. Please feel free to give me your suggestions to improve it further. Thanks!

Are we able to do that ? I never knew that it was possible to exist a thread like that. Its going to be very helpful, if its going to be continued. I will definitely follow and get informed .
Thank you for creating this.
:good::good:
---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------
BUT IF WE WANT TO BE FAIR , we must inform that Aicp and Lineage roms have been updated recently
AICP has a daily base update so the last nightly is 11/6/2017
http://dwnld.aicp-rom.com/?device=n7100
Lineage's ROM also have been updatedd 3/6/2017
http://tilak.sergix44.ovh/n7100/
RR is not easy to keep track, as they release a rom and after a while it disappears from their server and an unofficial pops up and so on. I was never able to understand what is happening in that thread and this is very unfortunate since RR is (or was for NOTE 2) one of the most popular roms. It was the first not stock based,custom rom i flashed in my note 2
NucleaROM also has a newer version:
NucleaRom-V1.0.7-OFFICIAL[7.1.2]-n7100-20170525
http://nuclearom.com/download/nuclearom-v1-0-7-official7-1-2-n7100-20170525-1513-zip/?lang=en
and HenonHD , I think is going to surprise us pleasantly , with something even newer from them all
Tomorrow , if its OK, I will write my personal opinion for every one I have tried.

N7100 ROMs Table (Nougat) (updates stopped)
Moved to its own thread (here).

take a look in NucleaROM by @moludo. New built today 13/6/2017 is fantastic, with CM S-PEN support inbuilt.
I think its the top for now.

I don't see why not
You'll notice I've avoided subjective opinions when comparing the ROMs to avoid any kind of bias beyond what each of them offer. A similar [THREAD="3220724"][INDEX] thread[/THREAD] exists for our Note II & most other device forums but it hasn't been updated since the tail-end of last year so I'm aiming to just focus on a detailed "specs sheet" of ROMs.

I'm just keeping track of stable release dates. I'm sure you understand that it gets a bit trickier to keep track of nightly release dates of various ROMs. However, I'll make a note to label ROMs with a nightly release schedule as such.

Thanks for your feedback, @jer194! Just added a "Flaw" column to the table to keep track of significant issues (+ their fixes) that users might want to aware of before committing to install a ROM.
Once again, I'd like to re-iterate to everyone that this is (at least for the time-being) an actively updated thread so your contribution is hugely appreciated for each & every ROM up there. Cheers!

Sorry Guys was all busy with my Sem exams, Hope you all are doing good,
Have so much of notifications to be checked on....
anyway, will see for a week for some new changes in RR, else will release a new stability fix update.
Special thanks to Christoph Schafer for his donation, its not the amount brother, its the appreciation which you shown matters...

The list of flaws for sure is incomplete, the ones in my post are just the ones I'm struggling with
Meanwhile, NucleaROM (170622) and XenonHD (170624) have received updates (see my earlier post).

I think that now that magisk is removed as a default root method and AICP has left us decide what to be used as root, AICP is coming back very strong among the three best for now , together with NucleaRom and HenonHD, which are still at the top three.
Hibin.m , now that he is back, has to give a boost if he intents to keep up, as RR is not what they used to be and what in other phones are still considered as a strong group.
Lineage is always the strong, solid but Spartan rom, which anyone can count on, to test if his phone is working as it should.
Its always the base of them all.
THESE ARE MY PERSONAL FEELING THIS WEEK and no one has to agree with me.

I think its like open season out there, all the kids , now that schools and colleges have finished lessons have come over, looking for things and futures they have left before new years holidays. Amazing how young people dont want to try new things but trying to keep things the way it was a long time ago. A lot of them are even asking how to go back to lolipop or KIT KAT.
TECHNOLOGY is not furniture where old is classic. Here old is outdated and not working anymore, as it cannt keep up new challenges.
Any way, sorry for that, I am mostly talking to my self

Thanks for bumping the thread!
There is no obligation to fix flaws --- everybody is free to do so, if he/she feels like ...
(and there might be more interesting things to do out there).
Anyway, I've updated my two tables I had posted earlier (on N7100 ROMs, and on flaws).

Today i have in my mind this classification about the available roms for our note 2
1. XenonHD 14/7/2017
Everything seems to work just fine in that latest version of the rom
Counting: GPS, video everywhere, video calls in WhatsApp and Viber, built-in from now on. Highly battery friendly. Nova launcher in-built, dark theme option
2. NucleaRom
radioactive kernel of the rom is one of the most effective and customize-able, available now for our phone
also a flawless rom, smooth, fast, battery friendly, with all major functions working perfect.
3. AICP 17/7/2017
very similar with the XenonHD, as they both share sources and DEV
looks slightly slower than the first 2 roms, but its a rom you can also very easy use a a daily driver.
These are my personal and only marks about the roms available right now.
The other roms are still to be update, or be tested since they where absent for a while

Dont you think you have to update threads with the new appeared rom(s),
or you are just waiting for them to mature a little more?

I'm trying to keep my ROM tables updated (see signature); crDroid has been added already.
My device lost some of its sensors, so I'm not able to test thoroughly anymore ...

I know you are doing great job documentary everything. Users haven't yet understand how great and useful is what you are doing. They will appreciate it eventually

so, new entries this week end. You have a lot work to do.
Waiting to see your very useful information
THANKS again for the great job you are doing
:good::good:

So, 2 new entries this week
Lineage's rom (Tilak's) and RR(hibin.m)
Both are updated with new sources and a lot of fixes in both of them.
Lineage's rom comes prerooted, RR provided 2 versions (prerooted and un rooted) for the user to choose.
I installed lineageSU in unrooted RR rom to have a ,as much as possible , equal base to compere the 2 roms.
What i have found out:
Lineage rom, with iSU on it, passes safety net check.
RR rom, can't pass. CTS profile false.
in Lineage rom GPS fixes in device only scan
In RR GPS is not fixing unless in high accuracy (BT WIFI)
In both roms when trying to do a normal voice call using BT mobile network is restarting , so its impossible to make or receive a call.
Only inbuilt camera is working on both roms
Open camera and Snap camera HDR are crashing
Lineage's rom feels more solid but RR is faster in antutu tests, giving you though a sence of a little instability.
Thats what I manage to understand from last night's testing

Thanks for sharing your findings!
I've updated my N7100 ROMs table accordingly.
Just for the RR GPS: it is working in my installation.
The best indicator is in SatStat, 'Satellites':
- if it shows '-/-', GPS is not working
- if it shows '0/0', GPS is working, and is just a matter of patience (and free sky) to get the satellite signals.

yes, you are right.
It took me some more time and a lot of open space, but finally got it FIXED.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][WIP] Cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.4 - kitkat) for fairphone FP1

Code:
#include
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*
* Submitting bug reports on nightly builds is the leading
* cause of male impotence.
*/
PHONES CAN BE LIVE SAVERS. THIS DEVICE IS NOT SUITABLE AS YOUR ONLY MEANS FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND IS NOT BEEN TESTED TO SUPPORT EMERGENCY CALLS. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER PHONE WITH YOU.
CyanogenMod/CWM is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed.
This is a rom for fairphone FP1 - 1st edition, repartitioned as of Cherry 1.6.
Do not install on any other device than the FP1 - I have not tested it on other devices and I do not have the FP1U1 (second edition).
This is basically the same rom as the KK build I do for the Wiko Stairway with a few FP1 changes (esp of course the kernel, magnetometer service, other minor differences). It uses a blob from the Wiko mtk-ril.so as the original FP1 blob crashes the rild.
What works:
- SIM1 for phone calls (incoming/outgoing) and SMS, data (2g, 3g)
- SIM2 is a WIP
- Audio (microphone - now also outside phone calls, loudspeaker, headphones, OK google)
- Sensors
- Wifi (not wifi direct)
- GPS (no A-GPS yet nor EPO assist files, so the fix can take a bit)
- hw composer
- camera for taking pictures (not video)
- wifi and usb tethering
- battery usage stats (expect the usage for Display to be very unprecise)
- candy crush, facebook and twitter
What doesn't work, known bugs:
- 2nd sim card 3G switch
- Dual SIM is a WIP and has some bugs (data connection instability, etc.)
- camera for "movies" does not work
- (hw) video en/decoding not enabled
- bluetooth not available
- FM radio not available
- A-GPS does not work, GPS works though but slowish
- rest of MTK specifics (what?)
- ... you tell me
Credits: many thanks go to the omnirom project as they have done lots for mt6589 already (https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/q/topic:mt6589,n,z). Esp to xplodwild and drshadow, pawitp, dhacker29, keesj, tmp_
Installation guide:
- Install latest CWM linked in this thread (for installation see in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2615613) - if you don't have it yet, make sure you backup recovery.img
- Make a backup with CWM - you will want to go back to stock, don't blame me if you don't have a backup!!!
- copy the .zip to the phone and flash the zip with CWM
- copy the gapps to phone and install the zip (see: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps - this is CM11)
- Wipe

Thank you very much !
I tried it (this was my first experience with CM so far) and I think I wont go back to android anytime soon
Despit the name of the download (FULLOFBUGS ^^), I found it actually quite stable (It's true I haven't done extensive testing)
The only not known bug I encountered (and I absolutly dont care, please dont waste time fixing it ) was with the grass animated walpaper.
I also encoutered the
very minor glitches in animations (like turning your phone by 90 degrees) with smaller stripes

But:
It's barely been a week. @chrmhoffmann made something great here, but is probably working on this in free time. Please show some patience and don't make this Fairphone forum look like other threads here on xda.

First of all: many many thanks for even trying to bring CM11 to the Fairphone!! I don't own one (yet) as up to now I felt that this project might lead into a dead end (i.e. a device that after some rather short time is no longer supported). Now the perspective is quite different.

Fairphone states this on the specs page (http://shop.fairphone.com/specs-page.html):
Dual SIM, Dual Stand-by. One SIM: 3G; one SIM: 2G. Standard format miniSIM card (not included).

Could this mean that SIM #2 is by design restricted to 2G?
Out of curiosity: one more question regarding phone and kernel: can the CPU be overclocked? If so, what steps are available, has anyone encountered stability issues?

These "developer forums" are usually only for bug reports and the like, so I hope it's ok for me to post this here.
Yes, nice observation lm089, I now remember reading that too. Hardware doesn't seem to be able to go 3G with the second SIM card! So this isn't even a bug of this ROM
In regards to overclocking it's probably best to open a new thread

Actually it does support 3g for the second SIM. You can choose which card is restricted to 2g.

0.2 released.
Nothing much changed in terms of mtk specific. Just sync to current cyanogenmod sources (approx. M10).
Chris
PS: Files need some time to show up on goo.im.
PS2: It is there now.

Thanks Chris for your wonderfull work. Will you also port Android L when it is available?

Awesome work on the your port of cyanogen! I bought the FP1 at launch with high hopes for the phone, especially as it aimed to be open and community driven. Sadly, the hardware vendors fell a bit short of that promise. But finally I'm able to install a CM based ROM for my FP1! I use it as my backup phone and for the longest time it was the only phone that wasn't CM based.
Keep up the good work! I'll follow this post for any updates you may post.
Thanks again mate!

Time Clock
Thanks for this beautiful work chris,
What for me doesn't work is the the alarm clock when the devis is turned off.
I liked it when i can shut down my dev. and it wakes me up in the morning
But no as essential as the "(hw) video en/decoding"... short question:
Why does Youtube work, and other video-streaming programs per example "Twitch TV" not?
Has the Youtube Software decoding included and Twitch probably not?
Best regards

well android (cm11 as well) is not able to run the alarm clock when the device is turned off...is not a problem of this particular rom... however the stock rom of FP1 can turn on the phone at a certain hour, but maybe you already know it.

Merge OS?

Yeah, I thougt that it will be something like that... Thanks
But the Sourcecode of de Stock ROM of Fairphone ( https://fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201189497-Fairphone-OS-multiple-versions- )
and from Cyanogenmod is available too on GitHub ( https://github.com/CyanogenMod )
Isn't it possible to put the code from Fairphone OS which refers to the Alarm-Clock-wake-up-mode into the CM-code?
When the Fairphone OS is installed, then it's possible, in cause of this it has to be a OS/Software-Problem...
I really don't understand many things from Android, sorry for that, but I'm working on it

Any news on bluetooth functionality?
Is there any prospect of bluetooth working in with this ROM soon?
I know questions like this can be a pain in the ass for developers, so please don't get it wrong, but I'm eagerly waiting for Android 4.4 (especially CM) on the Fairphone for such a long time now. In combination with the Pebble Smartwatch, the notification system with Android >= 4.3 is so much better. But obviously, the smartwatch functionality relies on bluetooth.
Thanks, Tobi

first, thanks again for your wonderful work!
then, I'd also need these gaps to be filled so that this could be a productive version:
- BT working
- the timing / auto-shutdown / auto-start function from FP OS
- Optimized Battery Life
- maybe a FP branding (I really like the startup screen, fonts and wallpaper from FP OS)
Is there still any involvement with the FP guys? Could they help out regarding the details or are they involved somehow? What can the community do to help?

we all are wondering a total functionality of this rom, but pushing the developer is never a good thing. He is not paid for his work, is just volunteer work so if he has free time maybe he will do it, maybe not. Don't expect that everything will be done soon.. .

this comment seems to be a bit pretentious... keep calm, he make volunteer work, and have no relation with the FPs Soft Developer, also because the development section of FP is from an external company.. so keep calm and wait, if he will have free time to spend on it, maybe will continue to develop, maybe not, but don't push him

[ROM] [5.1.1] ZMoD (09/09)

ZMoD is an AOSP-based Android 5.1 ROM focused to bring the most popular features to a clean, AOSP-based ROM.
A bit of history: when 5.1 released, I was impressed by the memory management fixes it brought us - it's a lot better than 5.0 was. Since I use my phone heavily, mostly for texting with multiple apps, it was clear that I couldn't go back to 5.0 anymore - however, there were no feature-filled 5.1 ROMs yet, so an idea popped into my mind: why not create one? This is how the first version of ZMoD born.
Features
- RRO theming support
- screenshots: quick delete action
- configurable wakeup on charger connect
- configurable volume button wake
- advanced reboot
- show application's package name in the "App info" screen
- statusbar clock and date customizations
- option to hide USB debugging icon
- clock and time clickable in statusbar
- battery icon customizations
- alarm clock: increasing volume option
- alarm clock: flip and shake actions
- materialized gallery, calendar, browser and sms (not fully done yet) app
- material default wallpaper
- swipe in AOSP keyboard
Todo
- battery and notification light customizations
Instructions
First time flashing ZMoD to your maguro (or coming from another ROM)?
Unlock & install a recovery
Wipe data & cache partitions
Flash ZMoD.
Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package.
Updating from a previous build?
Just install the latest ROM zip. If you had Google Apps installed, you need to re-flash it as well.
Downloads
Latest build: see the downloads section.

Wow thanks a lot @Ziyan

Nice! Thank you very much, this is just what I have been waiting for...a 5.1 ROM with volume rocker wake support!

Kudos! @ziyan
wow! thanks a lot for making GNEX alive @Ziyan, i'll flash it right away. long live Gnex!:fingers-crossed:

Thanks ... in donwload... tomorrow I try to duty with your kernel ... but it will be a bomb, then I think I will change it to prove my kernel, I think I'll change rom to do the tests to my kernel

where can i download this? sorry im sort of new! disregard my ignorance. i guess the downloads tab is there for a reason lol

- offmode charging broken

Thanks alot Ziyan for keeping this phone alive and running. :good:
Just to clarify... Ziyan are those the only bugs you have come across? Are there any other bugs that we should be aware of such as graphical glitches or wifi/data issues bluetooth perhaps? Would this be considered a daily driver? Sorry about all the questions, but I really want to jump to a 5.0 rom 4.4.4 just isn't cutting it anymore. I have all kinds of ram issues all the times, forcing me to reboot my phone on a daily basis. I think this would be the perfect opportunity for me to transition to a lolipop rom, but I would like to know if this rom is stable enough for daily use.

done flashing. so far so good here. bugs presented above is present. but im gonna try use this rom for more days, (as same as othe LP 5.1) but as i remember from my past flsh from other roms., the more you installed apps the more it getting slow and bugs. well so far here i just installed those social media apps and its running good to me, but i couldn't say its that stable but lets just help @Ziyan and give some reports. well im not that fun on CM roms but ill give this a shot coz its the only rom who is willing to support our legacy phone and make it alive again.

This is awesome! Thanks a lot @Ziyan. I've been using your CM11 builds for a long time. But who needs CM when we have you? CM11 is way too laggy for a while - which is by no means your fault! - and all the stories about 5.1 will definitely make me part of your test group. So I'll stop writing now and start downloading.

I'm just waiting for the camera bug to be fixed which causes the camera to stop working and requires a reboot to fix it. If that's fixed, I'll be really happy to come back to LP.

i tried front cam video recording ...... sad to say i have to reboot my phone for me to use it again.. hmm.. the main bug of Gnex LP's are the camera if this will be fixed then for sure it could be stable to us Gnex users. is ther a chanve that someone can make a mod for camera and flash it to be more compatible? i mean what if the cam is not LP based. is it that possible? ( sorry for the question im not a developer)

This has been undoubtedly the best ROM I've ever flashed onto my phone. Camera bug or not, the smoothness with which it runs is almost making me doubt this is even the same phone. I am floored. Great job Ziyan and the OMAP team!

Anyone tried bsmitty karnel with this rom..?

#17
how to get root access ?

This ROM is very nice so far. It's still downloading and installing my apps which obviously takes more time since LP.
The ROM feels quite snappy, at least a bit more than recent CM11 builds. I am missing a few features such as privacy guard and quick switch between apps by pressing and holding the recent apps button. Swipe isn't working with the AOSP keyboard.
I haven't tried the camera yet. But so far so good. Really good.

I've been using this ROM for a couple of days. Really awesome ! Great work @Ziyan !

@Ziyan mwisbest fixed the offline charging, maybe you can pick the commits? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59405904&postcount=2882

[8.1][LOS-based][ROM/Kernel]Mackay ROM

A few years ago, I have been building Mackay ROM, based on CyanogenMod for a number of devices. Due to being busy at work, I have stopped with that. I recently picked it up with again with a Mackay ROM based on LineageOS.
It is actually LineageOS, with a few extras that I always miss:
-SU build into the ROM
-No hash sign when using SU
-Network traffic speed option for statusbar
-OMS Substratum theming
-OmniClock in stead of Lineage Desk Clock
The bootanimation is made by my brother. It is the family coat of arms of the Scottish Mackay clan to which my family is linked.
I try to build this ROM on a weekly basis, but it mainly depends on when interesting features are available/merged
Download:
AndroidFileHost
Installation:
-Make sure you have recent TWRP installed (3.2.1-1)
-Make sure you have recent hardware blobs from MIUI (minimum 8.1.4)
-gapps can only be flashed on clean installs
-clean install (factory reset) if coming from another ROM, dirty flash if updating
I am open to suggestions for additions, but I prefer a clean ROM, just some basic extras over stock LineageOS has always been my approach for Mackay ROMs.
Credits:
This ROM would never have been possible without the hard work of bgcngm to make LineageOS for our mi5 and the other LineageOS developers.

I don't use LTE, so I can't say for sure. In general, because this ROM follows LineageOS, it will have to deal with the same problems as well.

I use it myself in dual-SIM mode and never encounter any signal loss.

hi and thanks for this first of all. I'm surely going to try it, even just for seeing the bootanimation..i love all that matters Scotland.. your country and national anthem, rugby, braveheart etc
personally i don't use LOS for a very few and not so intrusive things i think. first of all date in status bar, like in most all other los roms. could you add it? don't think it would be too intrusive, but it is a real deal breaker for me
other thing i look for is multiple actions for HW buttons (like in RR.. show volume panel, show quick settings panel etc and not only the los standard ones) but that's secondary as i can also use a hw button remapper app for that
ah, and dt2s everywhere in lock screen would be great also!
bye will report after trying your rom!

@kasper_h wow! that is THE surprise. For the young ones in the community, Mackey kernel/rom was the goto option for our Galaxy S(1) ! Glad to have you in this part of the forum. Are you planning on getting involved with the Mi5 kernel business as well?

tested the rom quicky. enabled root in Dev settings for apps but couldn't get root access for mixplorer?

@kasper_h perhaps adding QC3 fix from this commit?

I still have my S1 lying around, but stopped developing for it long time ago.
At the moment, I first want a robust ROM being build, then I'll look into the kernel as well. On S1, performance depended a lot on the kernel, I haven't seen such spectacular results on mi5 yet.

Date in statusbar is something I may look into. I actually use the calendar status pro widget, which also gives day of month in the status bar. May other apps can do the same as far as I know.
Remapping HW buttons is not something I'm interested in

That's true, kernels are more mature now, performance-wise we may not win much (save it for the 32GB Mi5 with mild OC to 2.15Ghz). However, I think that due to Xiaomi's not 'fully' functional sources, there is space for improving the functionality aka charging speed, sound quality, maybe EAS or interactive governor tuning etc. Your expertise on kernel modding would be valuable to this community as well!! thanks

What a great surprise to see you around here! Another one who was following your work on the i9000. Great times and marvelous phone :') Hope to see more from you for the mi5, for sure trying out this, although RR is my comfort zone since november when i got the phone, hard to beat that loyalty on a phone of mine

[UNOFFICIAL/EXPERIMENTAL][ROM] Lineage 13.0 Resurrection Project ONLY for SM-T560NU

Info:
Target Device: SM-T560NU only (gtelwifiue)
OS: Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
Variant: LineageOS 13.0
Status: Usable as daily driver, but still to be considered experimental
This project is a side project of mine to bring Lineage 13.0 back to the SM-T560NU.
I recently purchased one of these, and use a few apps that have not been updated in years. These apps do not work on Nougat, therefore I needed Marshmallow.
vince2678 had a great Lineage 13.0 build, but had started to shift his efforts towards the more popular and updated Android Nougat by the time that I got this tablet. vince had started to warn that he was going to be dropping Marshmallow to focus on Nougat.
Therefore, using his code base, and attempting to apply some more modern patches to keep Lineage 13.0 up to date, I started creating my own builds in private. There was one single, obsecure link to it, on my website, and it was discovered. Since the community has shown interest in this project, and vince has now officially dropped support for 13.0, I am willing to release my private builds.
Please keep in mind that while vince's builds were designed to be as stock as possible, my builds are tailored towards my needs.
They are not perfect, but they work for me. There are still some issues to be ironed out, and sometimes new issues sneak in when you think you are just building a security update
But, since you wanted them, here they are. At the time of this post there is only one, but this will grow over time, when I have spare time to try to fix any issues and apply security updates.
All builds use my optimized kernel.
Releases and known issues:
You can find my builds over at:
https://losupd.zefie.net/builds/full/?C=M;O=D
lineage-13.0_j199_20170720
Android Security Patch Level: July 1, 2017
USB MIDI Support (example video of controlling Logic Pro X with the SM-T560NU)
No changes to previous issues in this build (same issues apply)
lineage-13.0_j196_20170617
Android Security Patch Level: June 1, 2017
AudioFX is missing (disabled in build due to unsolved issue in ROM causing crashes)
Updater is untested. You may or may not get a notification when a new build is available.
Flashing the recovery that comes with these builds is advised against. It may work but is untested. Use my TWRP Build.
Device encryption does not yet work
There is a strange issue that prevents you from taking still images using the built-in camera app. Preview and video works. As a workaround, use any third party camera app. I suggest Open Camera.

Just flashed it, everything works great so far.

Ive tried and liked very much
Smooth and lightweight
So far for me the camera dont work but i can record video
Also the encrypt tablet option does not seem to work (I select the option in the security part of the settings screen, it restarts tablet and thats it)
Other than that it seems to be perfect
Thanks for all the hard work

I knew about the encryption but the camera issue is interesting and strange. I just tried it and see what you mean.
I will see what I can do about these issues in the next update, which will probably be mid-august.
Thanks for the report.
The issue seems to be with the Camera app itself, and not any issues with communicating with the hardware (despite the error message), since other camera apps appear to work fine.
In the mean time, if you would like to take still images with this build, I would suggest this great and free (ad free as well) camera app from the play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en
I have just tested it (with both rear and front cameras) and it can take still images.

560?

Is it compatible with T560 only ? Whats the difference between T560 and T560NU maybe US Market? or what the difference and where i can get a custom Recovery for the Tab?

This is for the T560NU only, not T560. From what I know they have entirely different processors so there is no way for a universal ROM.

Thanks for this amazing rom. I noticed following: can't change the size of analog clock and sound on the speaker is not very strong.

The clock issue is likely upstream, since I can't think of anything I did that would prevent resizing of widgets, and other widgets appear to be resizable.
But I will look into it.
Speaker issue noted, there was some issue with the internal mic being too low that I tweaked, I may have to check the values for the speaker.
Edit: personal tests show speaker volume is fine. any louder could damage the speaker. if the volume is low, check that the tablet is not laying on a soft surface or something that would otherwise muffle the speaker in the back. When not obstructed, the speaker volume seems fine to me.

Any progress on Audio FX and Camera issues?

Unfortunately I have not had the time to work on this in a while. When I don't have time I just update the source and build (and hope it works) for the security updates. This only takes a couple of minutes as the build process does all the work. One should be coming in the next few weeks. Once the automated build finishes, I test it locally for about an hour and if its good, I release it.
I am not sure when I will have time to actually sit and go through the code to try to debug it to fix the outstanding issues. This can take hours or even days of dedicated time which I just don't have at the moment due to trying to keep my bills paid.
Stay tuned to this thread for updates though, and I apologize for the delay.

After uninstalling 3rd party music app, volume is good again.

EDIT:
Unfortunately I am discontinuing this ROM. I made this ROM for my personal use, and it is no longer useful to me, and I do not have the time to debug it. Therefore, I am discontinuing it. The current builds and source will remain up, and if you guys are not having the issues I am having, and would like me to continue doing security updates, I will, so long as it still compiles without much work on my part.
There will be no updates to the existing issues though.
Despite my previous aversion to Android N, I would highly suggest vince's Lineage OS 14.1 builds. They have come a long way since I last tried them, and Android N isn't so bad after all

I haven't gotten a chance to do a logcat or anything, but I'm getting an instant bootloop after installing Nova Launcher.
It wasn't an issue until Nova updated a few weeks ago, and it affects both your builds. That's my favorite launcher, but I guess I can live without it
EDIT: I see that you're discontinuing this, so I guess this post is more of an FYI to other users.

General Current state of AOSP - Lineage/Pixel Exp/Etc...

Wanted to write a thread to give feedback on where AOSP devs are currently at with AOSP ROMs for those who are interested. Don't want you to think that there is no development in this area.
While there are GSI out there, I think ROMs built from source are the better option.
While GSIs are meant to be that, generic, I don't think this is a proper replacement for ROMs since there are many brands it tries to encompass and not to mention, the GSIs devs may not be able to fix bugs for your particular device or brand, it's just the nature of GSI.
Anyway, we currently have a secret testing group where almost daily builds are pushed, trying to polish the builds and fix some of the bugs that are still present. It's getting closer and closer to being bugless.
Here's the current state of AOSP ROMs for A52s:
Working:
- Bluetooth
- BT Audio
- NFC
- Casting
- Vibration
- Brightness and autobrightness
- Display at 60/120hz
- Audio/Mic
- Wifi/Tethering
- All Cameras (rear camera @ 4k 30fps)
- Face unlock
- Factory reset
- Pixel Features (unlim. google photos, game booster...)
- AOD & At a glance widget
Not working:
- RIL
- Fingerprint (only unlocking is broken)

The following devs have done an amazing job for AOSP development on this device, I know with their combined contribution, we'll soon start getting stable trees which will lead to better and more stable ROMs:
@Alone0316
@PauloWesley
@BlackMesa123
@Simon1511
@Ryzen5950XT
And of course special thanks to all the testers which have to reset their devices almost daily to get these tests done. You guys are a part of this too. I'll continue to update this thread when anything major breakthrough happens and/or it's stable for release. Most of this doesn't get reported on outside the testing group so I wanted to give this feedback so that users don't lose total hope on this device for people who love AOSP.

LOVE IT

Hats off to all the people trying hard to put a52s in development radar

!!!!!!!

Nice team work
Waiting for official lineage

thank you for the update, can't wait

Is there a possibility to put Samsung apps (Like Samsung Store) in the AOSP version?

Only AOSP-compatible apps can run on non-Samsung ROM's, such as Galaxy Watch, Samsung Health, Samsung Internet etc.

Oh that's sad. I love aosp but I can't give up Samsung Store for now. Guess I'll stick to samsung roms for now.

excellent news. i was always wondering why a hugely popular devices as A52s did not get proper custom ROMs yet, good to hear there is progress being made.

Will the official pixel experience repository be uploaded?

Wanted to write a thread to give feedback on where AOSP devs are currently at with AOSP ROMs for those who are interested. Don't want you to think that there is no development in this area.
While there are GSI out there, I think ROMs built from source are the better option.
While GSIs are meant to be that, generic, I don't think this is a proper replacement for ROMs since there are many brands it tries to encompass and not to mention, the GSIs devs may not be able to fix bugs for your particular device or brand, it's just the nature of GSI.
Anyway, we currently have a secret testing group where almost daily builds are pushed, trying to polish the builds and fix some of the bugs that are still present. It's getting closer and closer to being bugless.
Here's the current state of AOSP ROMs for A52s:
Working:
- Bluetooth
- BT Audio
- NFC
- Casting
- Vibration
- Brightness and autobrightness
- Display at 60/120hz
- Audio/Mic
- Wifi/Tethering
- All Cameras (rear camera @ 4k 30fps)
- Face unlock
- Factory reset
- Pixel Features (unlim. google photos, game booster...)
- AOD & At a glance widget
Not working:
- RIL
- Fingerprint (only unlocking is broken)

Finally yessss

You are my only hope custom ROMs
I just bought this phone and it was a big mistake.
-It's full of bloatware
-There is 0 customization unless you register a samsung account
-The volume slider is only 15 steps instead of 30 so music is either too loud or too quiet for me
-I can't skip tracks by holding down the volume keys
-The notification at the top of the list doesn't get extended automatically
-When I view the opened apps it switches off the app I'm currently in. (SUPER ANNOYING)
Other than that there are actually a fiew things that are really cool:
-I can turn off the app drawer
-The camera app
-Full black background theme in samsung default apps (like calculator, messages, calendar, etc..)
-The calculator has some cool features
-No navigation bar at the bottom with gesture controls
-Keyboard can be positioned to the bottom of the screen without a gap.

I think yeah you will need a Samsung account but I'm not sure

Oh! That would be awesome!
I switched from OP3 with HavocOS to A52s in May and... it's been "fine" but I do miss custom AOSP/Lineage features...

Any news about that?

No news, development has slowed down a bit

ShaDisNX255, thanks for the update. Please keep us updated. I keep checking daily for any news. If the development stops or slows down a lot to the point where it's months away before it's ready then I would go with your Android 13 ROM. I prefer bare bone simple ROMs but at the time I don't want to wait years either especially if your ROM is very good and ready to be installed. So if you come across any news please let us know. Thanks.
