THANKS to all who donated up to now! its appreciated, and shows that people like the extras added...
WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if you brick your tablet..
Reserved for future use..
This will be very helpful for a lot people. Great of you to put this together for everyone!
Just curious, what's the advantage of having the superuser app when the device is rooted out of the box?
I look forward to seeing what else can happen with this device, and would be happy to test if needed.

although its already in non-secure mode, the apps that run "su" dont recognise it, so the root app is required together with its "su" command.
and it actually also have the advantage of you being in control of which apps get root access..
although your "adb shell" is in a root shell, the apps running still has non-su rights to the system, otherwise its would be pretty open as well and without much security.
I went ahead and applied version 1.0a over 1.0. I didn't take the time to do a backup so I didn't wipe/factory reset first. Everything went well, but calendar still gets a force close upon launch (not a problem for me, I don't need it). I may go ahead and wipe it and reinstall 1.0a, but I'm very happy with it as is for now.
Thanks again for making this rom! I'll hit that donate button for sure.
Thanks Dexter, tossed a donation your way.
I couldn't get root access back so I'm rerunning the update after a full wipe of data and cache. I will let you know how it goes.

Couldnt install the su zip file it put on my sd either..
I couldn't get SU to update either (placed on SD card as update.zip, but no joy). Just for grins I tried Z4root too, it went through the motions but no root. I tried to use Titanium Backup to install busybox. It downloaded the binaries but nothing changed.

I may flash the offocial update, reinstall the modified build.prop, and reinstall market.
The was a post somewhere in the BJ's 299 thread about busybox not installing correctly due to differences in the directory structure on this device, which caused loss of root.

This didn't work... other than this superuser permissions being messed up everything else works stellar!
If we don't have anything soon, I'll flash back and poke around with the modified build.prop on the official build.
Edit: Reinstalled the official elocity update and got my root back, installed gapps, now updating build.prop. Hopefully this gets me all the market fixes minus that Su thing. Superuser app is available in the market too. Report back soon.
So you're basically just using the build prop settings out of this rom with the factory update? I went back to version 1.0 for now.

Yeah pretty much!... did you not have the SU issues with version 1.0? If not I'll just update to that. I can't get Bank of America or Tasker to install even using the build.prop from the ROM, there's something other than the fingerprint in this ROM making the magic happen.
Titanium back up reports root access with V1.0 and I can get the # at the prompt in terminal. Lots of other apps that wouldn't install with the eLocity update install just fine with it too.
im a little confused..
i added the "su" command to the build, it never was there...
i added Superuser.apk as well.. and if you're trying to add those on top , you might corrupt it, and also,
VERY IMPORTANT filesystem has 0 bytes free, so any copying will probably corrupt the su command or other copied files..
Does this rom support ad-hoc wifi tether?
Requirements:
Follow the simple instructions here.
You MUST be rooted
You should be running a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP). I use CWM, so this guide is based on that.
Your device must be using ARMv7 CPU architecture. If you aren't sure what that is, check this thread.
You must have a file explorer that has root permissions. I use ES File Explorer, so this guide is based on that.
You need at least 60MB of system space for the full offline installation. (30MB for online only version) If you don't know how to check, simply download Titanium Backup from the market. It tells you right on the main screen.
If you are not a noob and know what to do already, please skip this. The permissions are listed at the bottom for easy reference, should you need them.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Download whichever zip you want. If you need to save /system space, download the the smaller, online-only package, otherwise get the normal one for the full experience. There is also a version of each which removes the "double-take" condition of the app. This is where it loads the results twice. The one that loads the results twice formats search results properly on the first try, but does not auto launch some cards. The non-double-take version may not format some search results properly, but auto launches tasks such as navigation and texting. Choose whichever one you prefer. If you have questions, please don't quote this entire post. Simply edit out the part you have a question about.
Update: Each version listed has the full version and the Offline only version. Pick the one you want and flash it. If you aren't sure which one to use, or if this is too much information or is otherwise overwhelming for you, just flash the M7 version - Offline/Online, since it's the latest. Be sure to scroll down a bit and read about it, though.
Before doing anything, you need to make sure you have at least 60MB of free space on your /system partition for Offline/Online files and 30MB of free /system space for Online Only files.
Flashable ZIPs
[*]M7 - mikeyxda's version 7. This version improves on M6 by tweaking notifications to be more accurate and frequent. This version may use more battery. If you are using a Sense ROM, see the troubleshooting below for a hack to improve Google Now performance and battery efficiency.
Online/Offline via Mediafire - 36.48MB /Hotfile mirror
Online Only via Mediafire - 14.06MB /Hotfile mirror
M7 Update - 3.97MB /Hotfile mirror
M7-Velvet.apk Only
[*]Inverted M7 - This is identical to the M7 files from above, except the colors are inverted, so that it has a black background instead of white, and white text instead of black. If you already have Google Now flashed, you can simply perform the update to this version.
Online/Offline via Mediafire - 36.81MB /Hotfile mirror
Online Only via Mediafire - 14.04MB /Hotfile mirror
Inverted M7 Update - 4.30MB /Hotfile mirror
M7inverted-Velvet.apk Only
[*]M6 - Mikeyxda's version 6. This version has improved on the previous one by fixing the double take problem, typed searches are working, auto launch is fixed, as well as the following fixes from the previous version: Red mic with cards showing with no refresh needed, no FCs, offline dictation, and no stretched words. These zips all use zipalligned apks.
Offline/Online via Mediafire - 36.43MB /Hotfile mirror
Online only via Mediafire - 14.01MB /Hotfile mirror
M6 Update - 3.92MB /Hotfile mirror

How to:
- Move the file you picked to the root of your SD card. Don't put it in any folder. This just makes it easier to find.
- Reboot your device into recovery. See your device's specific instructions on how to do this if you are not sure. Google it for a faster answer.
- In CWM, navigate to "Install zip from SD" and select that.
- Next, highlight "Choose zip from SD card" and select it.
- Scroll down to the Google Now zip you loaded onto your SD card, then select it.
- Scroll down and select the option that says "Yes - Install Google Now....zip"
- Once it has flashed, go back to the main CWM menu and select "Reboot system now".
Double Checking:
- Let the ROM boot all the way, then fire up ES File Explorer (or whichever one you feel like using). We need to make sure a few permissions stuck (just in case).
- If you haven't used ES File Explorer before, open it, then hit menu.
Tap settings, then scroll all the way down.
Check the box that says "Up to Root" (pic).
Then check the box that says "Root Explorer"
Allow root access when the dialogue box for Superuser pops up.
After that, check off "Mount file system", then back out of the menu. (pic)
- Navigate to /system/usr/srec/ and find two folders named "config" and "en-US"
- Tap and hold on the "config" folder icon to bring up the options menu, then scroll down to Properties.
- Tap properties, then tap change and see if the check boxes match this picture.
- If it matches, leave it alone and head back to your home screen to enjoy using Google Now! If it doesn't match, change it so it does.
- Do the same thing for the "en-US" folder.
- Go into the settings menu for Google Now and set it up for your Google account and various other settings.
Now What?
So, you flashed Google Now. You're wondering what you can do with it, right? Well, thankfully, Killer-B has a handy little guide to get you up to speed on all the cool stuff Google Now can do as well as how to do it!
Commands & Now Cards For Google Now!!! Now Video, and custom widget
Troubleshooting
1.) The red mic screen won't display.
To fix this, press the normal mic within the Google Now app. While it is listening (after it beeps), press menu > refresh. Now you're at the red mic.
2.) Can't exit the Google Now app with the back button.
Use the Home button.
3.) Google Now Force Closes.
Make sure you have enough space on your /system partition before installing this. You need at least 60MB free for the Offline versions and 30MB free for the Online versions.
4.) Sports cards aren't showing up.
It won't add teams that aren't in season. American football is currently in preseason. Baseball, however, works perfectly fine.
5.) I want Google Now in another language than US English.
From the Google Now home screen with the cards, tap Menu, then Settings. Tap Voice, then Language and select the language you want recognized. The text of Google Now in searches and regular cards should mirror that of your system language.
6.) My phone exploded.
Have a muffin.
If, for some reason, you want to remove Google Now and return to how you were before, flash the following zip. It removes all Google Now files, and returns the original Google Search app and voice files, as well as sets permissions for the Search app.

I think R3 (update) is not different with M7 (not updated), I always refresh to show more card and stuck on white screen, I flashed M7 2 weeks ago before R3 (from original thread)
and R3 I've got FC everytime I launched the app, so revert back to M7 + updated
thanks for sharing mate
This is a collection of tools and apps that I have produced to try to help users of Alliance ROM and various Kernels. Some of these apps may work for other ROMs or Kernels but I must stress that these will not have been tested.

Guides - Guides I have produced to take you through fixes or modifications.
Other Stuff - Useful bits from others.
Bespoke Stuff - Custom stuff that is not Rom or Kernel specific.

Rom Share - Mirror of ROMs and Kernels I use where the main link is very slow.
Adblock Hub - Some adblockers saved from the Play Store cull.
Apps
My Apps - These are Apps or Flashable Zips that I have created for Alliance Rom or a specific Kernel
SymlinkSD - App that runs on boot and Symliks the External SDCard as /mnt/sdcard - Only needed for Kernels that display this behaviour.
Reset Fuel Gauge - Function to rectify weird battery readings, code taken from Dori's kernel and turned into an app.
Tweaker - Allows you to toggle the following options on your phone if the installed Apps support it:
Camera Silent Menu Item
Disable auto convert SMS to MMS
Change the maximum number of contacts that can be joined to another contact
TogMods - Auto enables any Toggle Modifications you have made on reboot instead of having to make a change to enable them.
AccuWeather Widget - Flashable Zip for either Normal (with Background) or Transparent
LS Fix - Repairs Issue on some LS8 ROMs where the Lockscreen does not come up and a long press of the power button restarts the phone.
Stock Messaging no Convert and Sent Time - Stock Messaging app with the Convert to MMS function disabled and displayed times reflect the sent time not received time.
AOSP Themed Messaging no Convert and Sent Time - AOSP Themed Messaging app with the Convert to MMS function disabled and displayed times reflect the sent time not received time.
SilentCam - Camera app with Silent Option
CPU Idle - Allows user to specify the Scheduler used for CPU Idle for screen on and off as long as the Kernel supports it.
Crash Logger - Captures LastKmsg file automatically after an unexpected reboot. File is saved to SD and copied to Clipboard. Kernel must not have disabled Android Logging.
Boot Wifi - Automatically enables WiFi on Boot for ROMs or Kernels that deactivate WiFi on startup.
Auto Wifi - Automatically enables WiFi on Boot for ROMs or Kernels that deactivate WiFi on startup and renenables WiFi if it is enabled by the user and then immediately deactivated by the Kernel or Rom.
Cache Cleaner - Runs the Cache Clean feature from Dorimanx kernel as a stand alone application. Just run and that's it. It will show the Start Free Ram, End Free Ram and then close itself and remove from memory.
Rom Select - App for Dual Boot users to allow them to change Roms without waiting for STweaks to load first. Tested with Dorimanx, should work with Siyah as well.
The following Apps may no longer be required as they should be fixed.
Dori CamFix - Fixes problems with some CM and AOKP ROMS where the camera force closes when using Dorimanx Kernel.
Fake Notify - Fixes issue for users using AllianceROM where the Notification bar does not show up on boot.
Fake Notify Plus - Fixes issue for users using AllianceROM where the Notification bar does not show up on boot and also sometimes disappears during normal use at Random.
Crackle Stop - Automates TRB's method of fixing the problem of a crackling sound being produced along with notifications. Once installed run and you will need to grant SU access. You will then be presented with a Menu for your Normal 'Idle' mode, this should be the same as the awake idle mode set in STweaks, next you will be asked for an Alt Idle mode, this can be anything, just not the same as your normal mode.
Once set you will need to reboot for the fix to activate.
Once rebooted the app does what it needs to do over a 20 second period (not 20 seconds after the phone has booted as the app will probably be the last thing loaded - so to be safe I'd give it 2 or 3 minutes). You then need to let your phone get into Deep Sleep so leave it for a bit and then after that all should be OK.
Note this is not a one off fix, this process will run on each boot but you do not need to rerun the App unless you want to change the Normal Idle mode.

Alliance Rom FAQ
How do I install 7.02?
You need to uninstall the Rom Customiser that comes with the Rom then install the new one from play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ficeto.alliancemanager) once installed go into Rom Customiser and then OTA and select the updates.
OTA does not mean Samsung or System OTA.
How do I install 7.3? I can't find it in OTA.
7.3 is a full Rom and not an update. As such you need to download the full Rom zip from the OP on the Alliance Thread. Once downloaded flash it through Rom Customiser.
How do I flash the Stock Theme for 7.3?
During installation uncheck the box next to "Alliance Theme".
What can be installed through Rom Customiser?
Anything can be flashed through Rom Customiser as long as it is a Flashable zip, an Odin Tar file or an OTA download.
I have Downloaded a mod or update from OTA which I cannot flash through recovery. What am I doing wrong?
You need to flash these files through Rom Customiser which will then automate recovery. You cannot flash these independently.
What is the default blue colour used in the Rom?
Uncheck the Alpha box Colour Hex code #33b5e5
How can I get the Dandelion Lock Screen Wallpaper back?
Download it from here.

Change the Entire System DPI setting.
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /System folder
3. Open the build.prop file
4. Scroll down to the 'Additional_build_properties' you are looking for the line
"ro.sf.lcd_density = 240"
The default value for the LCD density is 240, the lower the number the more on
the screen. 200 is a good value to start with.
Save the change.
5. Reboot phone for the change to become effective.

Since I requested this tweak, I would give a simple explanation on what it does and how to use it.
When your connecting to a ipsec vpn using wifi and having trouble browsing to your internal websites eventhough your connected to it. You can ping your internal network but the trouble is no browsing. The solutions are:
1. Tell your System Administrator to change the ip tcp adjust-mss to a lower value, in my case I used 1000 using 1841 cisco router. This prevents the packet from fragmentation. Packets when fragmented were dropped thus resulting to no browsing. If the Sys Ad refuses to do so because this may cause some issues to Windows users (browsing may slow a little bit), your best solution is to install this tweak.
2. This MTU mod sets the MTU value of your payload to 1300 via tunnel interface of your android device this avoiding packet fragmentation resulting to packet being allowed to pass through the tunnel interface going to ipsec vpn router.
How to use it:
1. Download the vpnc widget from playstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.mjm4456.vpncwidget&hl=en
Configure your credentials. Then connect.
2. Once the vpnc widget has been connected open this app. Then you should have browsed your internal network.
Note: This tweak is needed only for wifi connections. If your using carrier data, then this is not needed anymore.
Please give thanks to the creator of this app.
I just gave him the code and he did all the stuff in making this app looks nice and easy to use.
Big credit to OP, trevfee and thanks to my neatrom family (Many40, Mr.Greg, ESD and others who helped me finding the code)

Glad it's working for you and thaks for the feedback and explanation for others.
As for Play Store I have yet to purchase a dev account to allow me to upload as I really only make things for people who know how to install from anywhere. Please feel free to trek people to download from this page, I won't be removing the app.

IMEI Recovery
IMPORTANT
FOR THIS PROCESS TO WORK YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD COPY OF YOUR /efs DIRECTORY TAKEN PRIOR TO THE PROBLEM HAPPENING. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER.
DISCLAIMER - THIS IS AN AMALGAMATION OF IDEAS, PROCESSES AND GUIDES FOUND ONLINE ALONG WITH MY OWN MODIFICATIONS AND PROCESSES THAT I HAD TO MAKE TO GET THE PROCESS TO WORK FOR ME.
ALTHOUGH I HAVE PERFORMED THIS PROCESS IN FULL AND IT HAS WORKED FOR ME I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR DATA LOSS THAT ARISES FROM FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE. BY USING THIS GUIDE YOU ARE ACCEPTING ANY AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL ACTIONS AND THEIR RESULTS.
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT PERFORMING THIS PROCESS WILL INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY BUT IF YOU ARE ALREADY ROOTED AND RUNNING CUSTOM SOFTWARE THEN YOU HAVE ALREADY INVALIDATED YOUR WARRANTY ANYWAY.
This is a common problem that usually occurs when a problem is encountered flashing a file from Recovery. Please take the precautions listed below, it will save you a lot of trouble should you ever suffer from this problem.
Backup Process
There are 3 ways that I use to back up the /efs directory.
These are:
1 - Manually copy /efs to your SD Card and make another copy somewhere safe (Computer, Dropbox, etc).
2 - Use HC-kTool to make a backup image of your /efs directory.
3 - Use Galaxy S Unlock AND GSII Repair to make backups of your original /efs directory (These are both the same but by doing both you have two copies of /efs available should you need it).
All Apps available from the Google Play Store or can be downloaded in the AppPack from here
At the end of this process you will have 4 copies of your /efs directory on your SD Card as well as any dulicates you created externally in step 1. This might seem like overkill but trust me taking 5 minutes creating these will save you hours and possibly quite a bit of money in repair costs in the long run should you ever need to recover!
Now you have your backups lets hope that you never need them, but should you then...
Recovery Process
Acknowledgements
Based on original post by XDA Member vaskodogamagmail with more detail and modifications to make process work added by me.
Original Post
Symptoms
You may have one, some or all of the following:
No Signal
Emergency Call Only
No Network
IMEI 004999010640000
IMEI 000000000000000
IMEI
(To check your IMEI number either enter *#06# dial into the dialer or check in Settings, Phone Information)
Prerequisites
Rooted Phone
Try the following processes in order until the problem is resolved.
Method 1:
Open HC-kTool and choose "Restore efs from backup (DANGEROUS!)" then choose "Restore IMG". Once completed you will be prompted to reboot. Perform Reboot and if all has gone well you will have a working phone again.
Method 2:
Open Galaxy S Unlock app and select "Restore saved EFS Folder". This will come up with a response saying "Done". Reboot and see if your phone is working again.
Method 3:
Open GSII_Repair and perform Options 2 and 3. Your phone will reboot. Once it has rebooted see if your phone is working.
Method 4:
Open GSII_Repair and select "Restore saved EFS Folder". This will come up with a response saying "Done". Reboot and see if your phone is working again.
Method 5:
This is the last chance (and the one that after tweaking to what you see below worked for me).
You will Need the following:
Stock GB ROM
Insecure Kernel
ODIN
Quick Root
All of these can be downloaded in the IMEIFix.zip which can be downloaded from here.
Android SDK and ADB instaled on your Computer or a Terminal App on your Phone (Personally I prefer ADB from Computer but you choose whichever you are most comfortable with).
We are going to restore your phone to as close to original stock a possible. No data wil be removed from your SD Card(s) but all installed apps, customisations, ROMs and Kernels will be removed. Please backup everyting you need before runnng this process.
If you are able to make a Nandroid Backup of your Rom you will be able to recover this at the end of the process.
Open ODIN
In Options select "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time".
Select the following files from the "OriginalRom" folder on your computer:
Bootloader -> KERNEL_I9100XEKDB_CL161513_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
PDA -> CODE_I9100XEKDB_CL161513_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Phone -> MODEM_I9100XXKDH_REV_02_CL995882.tar.md5
Reboot your phone into Download Mode (Hold down Home, Volume Down and Power when turnng on).
When in Download Mode connect to Computer via USB.
You will get a Ready message in one of the top boxes in ODIN. When you have this press the Start button.
After a while your phone will reboot and load up into it's Stock setup.
Configure the settings and then Power down the Phone.
Once Powered down go into Download Mode again (same process as above).
In ODIN press Reset.
Set the same options as before.
This time only set the Bootloader box. Select the file from the "InsecureKernel" folder on your computer - NOTE Insecure means that it is able to be rooted, not that there is a security issue with using it. We will be replacing this later anyway.
Check you have the Ready in the top box in ODIN and press Start.
Once finished your phone will reboot to stock again. IMPORTANT - Disconnect the USB cable before proceeding.
Go to Settings, Applications, Developer Options.
Turn ON "USB Debugging".
Connect USB cable to Computer and Phone.
Open "Samsung Quick Root"
Select "Reboot Device When Finished"
Press "Root Device"
Some text will scroll on the screen and then phone will reboot.
This will have installed SuperUser, Busybox and Rooted your phone.
Install a Root capable Explorer app, I used Es File Explorer, either download from the Play Store or you can install if from the Apps folder of IMEIFix downloaded above.
Open a Command Prompt on your Computer
Enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
busybox umount -l /efs
exit
exit
Using your chosen exporer delete the efs folder from the root of your phone.
Reset the phone, after that open your explorer again and browse to the Root, the efs folder should have recreated and will contain files. These are new and are system generated.
Go to the efs folder using your chosen explorer, and delete "nv_data.bin" and "nv_data.bin.md5".
Go to the working back up of your efs folder on your SD Card, copy the "imei" folder to the efs folder at the root of your phone, then again go to the backed up efs folder on your SD Card and copy the "nv_data.bin" file to your efs folder at the root of your phone using your explorer. Once you have copied this file, please rename the new file to "nv_data.bin.bak".
Make another copy of the "nv_data.bin" file in the backed up efs folder on your SD Card and paste this into the efs folder at the root of your phone again.
On your Computer open a command prompt and enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
chown 1001:radio /efs/nv_data.bin
Reset your phone.
You should now have your Original IMEI, check this by dialing *#06# call into the dialer. If you have the correct IMEI then you are done. You can either reinstall your usual ROM, Apps, Kernel etc manually or restore an existing backup.
If you need to install a Recovery with CWM (to restore backups or install new ROMs and Kernels then please follow these steps:
Install Mobile Odin from ChainFire from the Play Store (or if you are an XDA user you can download from here)
If you have used the XDA version you will also need the eu.chainfire.mobileodin.flashkernel.i9100.v2-1 apk file, this is in the IMEIFix download above in the Apps folder.
Copy the Kernel-V7.tar file from the CWMKernel folder in IMEIFix to your SD Card.
Open Mobile Odin and from there open the Kernel-V7.tar file. This will flash Dorimanx 7.45. If you now boot into recovery you can flash what you need to in the usual way.
By following the process above you will likely find that the Triangle Alert is now on your screen when booting yor phone indicating that your bootloader has been modified. Although this makes no functional difference to your phone you can remove this alert by installing TriangleAway from the Play Store (or if you are an XDA user you can download from here. This will reset the flash counters in your phone and remove the warning.
If you still have the wrong or no IMEI then you will need to seek further help.
There is no obligation but if this guide has just saved your phone and you feel you would like to show your appreciation there is a "Donate" button on the left, please feel free to use it.
YouTube fix
The problem is actually with Xlory's Inverted Play Store so far a fix had not been released by Xlory so we have to use the following workaround based on suggestion from Nos_20 and modifications from Andreas75k.
Fully uninstall YouTube, firstly from the Play Store or Settings, Applications and then from Rom Customiser (Manage System Apps).
In Rom Customiser go to OTA then select and flash Stock Play Store.
Goto Settings, Applications and wipe cache, data and any updates for Google Play Services and Google Play Store.
Reboot to recovery.
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Reboot.
Once rebooted reinstall YouTube in Rom Customiser and update through the Play Store or just install directly from the Play Store but obviously it wont be a system app.
That's it, all should now work.
Key here is: don't use any modified versions of Google Play Services, Google Play Store or YouTube, only STOCK.

I AM NOT A DEVELOPER, I in no way claim to have made any of this myself, I'm just here to say how I manage to get as close to having Pixel software on my Galaxy S7 G930V as possible.
Basically I'll divide this into three main areas. ROM, Add-on Mods, and Apps.
Read All the way through before starting so as to not miss anything.
Also the add-on mods are installed at the same time as the ROM. That way you keep safety net and what not.
Lets start with the ROM, I am using Ufirm_QE2_Hybrid_Nougat_Rom_FlashFire_Install Status Official For VZW S7FLAT by CVertigo1 / jrkruse
jrkruse said:
Latest Ufirm QE2 Nougat Firmware For The S7 Flat Only
This well give you a Customizable NonRooted Rom that uses stock boot.img not the eng boot image so there is no lag and it will pass safetynet checks and samsung pay will work
Give this guy @umaro some thanks he worked on this until it became reality even when I gave up
These first 2 step must be done first unless you are on my previous version of this rom or my carrier specific rom that do not have root or if your unsure just do this first
This Will Wipe Your Phone
1. Unzip UFIRM_G930_Odin_Firmware.zip and flash all files in odin
2. Go through setup ignore invalid sim message and skip adding accounts
3. Go to Step 3 Below
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To Flash Files in Odin simply launch Odin (Downloads later)
click on each button (Labeled BL, AP, etc.) and select their respective files that were extracted from the archive.
Each respective file's label has each corresponding label. (AP at the beginning of the file name, means put it in AP slot)
Then boot phone into download mode, press home, download, and volume down keys all simultaneously.
Connect it to computer and press the begin button in Odin.
jrkruse said:
If you are on one of my previous version of this rom or my carrier specific rom
1. Unzip UFIRM_G930_Odin_Firmware.zip
2. Use odin to flash BL and CP
3. Unzip ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip
4. Flash EngBoot image with odin
5. Root Phone. I'm not going to have half a page about rooting there is an entire rooting thread here. The Eng Boot.img can be found in the UFIRM_QD2_Modified_Nougat_Firmware Folder
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rooting is very simple for this phone once the Eng Kernel has been flashed.
Here is @jrkruse's Guide:

2. When the phone reboots, plug in phone to computer unlock developer options and enable USB debugging and Disable Verify Apps Over USB.
3. Unzip the Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2.zip and run root.bat from your PC. If you Have Windows 10 from inside the Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2 folder you may need press and hold shift and right click and click open command window here from the dialog box then in command prompt type name of the root bat you want to run and hit enter
4. This will install root when done phone will reboot
5. The process wipes dalvik cache so it will take a few minutes to reboot
6. If having problems getting Grant SuperSU dialog to come up you can delete the SuperSU app and root will be granted instantly to all root request
Give phone a few min to settle open developer options set animation scales .05 and others to .05

I don't use the google camera because on my S7 the video records the audio out of sync with the video, I haven't figured out how to fix it. but zero camera allows me to use Photos app instead of gallary so.... yea. (Requires a purchase of the root app for alt gallery)
That's about it for the ROM install.
**note these were installed in FlashFire with the ROM so as to pass safty net.
Now here are the add-on mods I used:

Copy those mods onto internal storage with the ROM install and add them into FlashFire during the ROM install. Place them after the ROM zip, but before the Format Cache / Wipe System less Super SU.

THANKS A TON DEVS!!!! :good: :laugh: :good:
Let me know if anybody has anything else they have done to get this close!
I appreciate you putting all the links and mods into the same place. I have never flashed using FlashFire before (on a G930V) and this was an excellent guide for me.
My only trip up was I didn't understand the language about Camera/Google Camera/Zero Camera Mod and I tried installing the zero mod while debloating the camera off. So I will have to go back and do that.
I skipped the "flashables" youtube, emoji, lens but may end up going back for those.
Thanks again.
Update: I found a cool way to have the new Google now page in the launcher.
Launcher App:
First is the actual app. Typicaly I would just say use Nova but on the pixel launcher the Google Now page looks different than on other third party apps. I wanted this look, so here is how I found a way to get that new Google Now pag to appear on other launchers.
Step one, if you installed Google lens mod, you should be able to get the pixel launcher from the play store, if not get it from XDA labs or APK mirror. Set Google. Set it as your default launcher. Next you will need any third party launcher and Tasker. I'm using Lawn chair Launcher. (On Google play). Use button mapper pro to map pressing the home button to launch third party app. Go into Tasker and make a task, so that whenever Google pixel launcher is launched, open third party launcher. As long as the pixel launcher is set as your default, the new Google now page will appear in apps like Nova and action launcher.
I'm *loving* this so far. Thanks to you and the devs that have worked on each stage of this.
I'm doing:
Verizon Stock
No UI Mods
No Ad Blocking
Pixel Animation
"PlayStore" Edition (not BS free, not manual)
Flashing GApps
Flashing Emoji
My only issue is like you described with the camera. It was working initially and then it updated and the update is causing problems. Also, the double home button launch doesn't work without a 3rd party app (and with screen off with no root).
So I can either figure out a way to always ignore camera app update and use a 3rd party app for launch (screen on only)
or
Will the S8 camera option include the gallery app and not be cleared by the "PlayStore" option?

I believe so, however I don't know, this would be a better question to ask in the ROM's Thread. the link is in the OP
It says you flashed open gapps, does it just re write over existing gapps with no problems
version 2 out now~~~
After researching the framework info, I found out MEA G8142 roms are able to be edited to work with xposed.
So I extracted the framework, added some info, changed build.prop, and there you go, it worked for my G8141.
It might also work with 2xx firmwares, but I am too busy right now!
1. Download 47.1.A.12.179 stock rom for G8141 or G8142 ROM, and completely erase your phone with it using flashtool (having a twrp backup of /data is perfectly fine), in wipe, select all, otherwise you will get problems with encryption
2. install twrp via fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=890278863836296663
3. (G8141) recover my system backup using twrp, if you have dual sim G8142 you have to follow step 4 as well
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474827606
(version 2, replaced google apps, more debloat, more stable system)
to recover, simply make a backup of something, then you will see this in your sdcard: twrp/xxx/1970-xx-xx/xxx
copy my files in the last folder, then recover my system data
3.1 reboot quickly to twrp
****
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz-premium/development/kernel-sony-xz-premium-5-2018-t3784669
download the 4 zip package kernel for your device and version, extract and put in your phone
****
3.2 install kernel (1), reboot to twrp
3.3 install zip files (2), (3), (4), xposed
3.4 install keyboard
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850495399
for g8142 extra only:
4. edit build.prop
replace g8141 with g8142, e.g.
ro.build.product=maple_dsds
ro.semc.product.model=G8142
ro.semc.ms_type_id=PM-1031-BV
ro.semc.version.fs=GENERIC
ro.semc.product.name=Xperia XZ Premium
ro.semc.product.device=G81
ro.product.model=G8142
ro.build.flavor=maple_dsds-user
ro.product.brand=Sony
ro.product.name=maple_dsds
ro.product.device=maple_dsds
ro.build.description=maple_dsds-user 8.0.0 OPR6.170623.013 1 dev-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=Sony/maple_dsds/maple_dsds:8.0.0/OPR6.170623.013/1:user/dev-keys
can also just download this, put it in notepad++ and save as build.prop, push to system with 0600 permission
https://pastebin.com/0iyaEJGf
https://youtu.be/Yl4mUPdjMKc
proof it works
bugs:
1. do not update magisk
2. when adding any lock, like pin or security do NOT allow boot security, otherwise system ui will crash upon reboot
Where is the build.prop file?

How about screen on time im using turbo75b(with mods and xposed) , i usually get more than 9 hours screen on time when have a little gaming and alot browsing and streaming videos, so my question is this rom is super debloated? Or no.
And next one is how many hours you get screen on time without enabling stamania mode.

on wifi I get 8 hrs to 8.30
on 4g, drains very fast
but newer versions are faster (after march, sony use 8.1 compiler for faster apps)
its 89% upload
its also possible that I combine system from 179 with turbo rom 75, it should be compatible and easy to do.

the build.prop file is in ''root/system/build.prop'' I use notepad++ to edit it on pc then push it back to the phone
twrp file manager, copy build.prop to sd card, copy to pc, replace maple with maple_dsds and g8141 with g8142, its easy to do
1. Can't log into Google And because it's constantly trying to connect to Google, it's lagging
2. Lots of ANRs that pop up for a second and close themselves
3. You forgot to leave a keyboard, LOL. I use gBoard anyway
4. Feels better than .75 anyway.
5. Launches with the .205 JanJan's kernel, but the WiFi doesn't work
I'll keep testing. THANK YOU A LOT!!!
upd. In China the whole Google is banned, and I only can log in via VPN-ned WiFi, which I can't use unless I install keyboard, lol.
upd. So, I've disabled the security on my WiFi. I've connected to the network from the very beginning. But still no success. Just black screen.
upd. I've flashed OpenGAPPS, thinking that it would help. And, guess what? Black screen.
I went further:
Chrome STOPS.
Google Earth STOPS.
Maps STOP.
Many cool features DO work, but because I can't log into my Google account, sadly, the FW for me is unusable here. I can't keep figuring out why, because I need a working device by tomorrow...

you did something completely wrong
backup your data (if you want, prefer clean) flash a 179 stock firmware erase all otherwise force close, then restore my system, then flash the 4 zips, reboot after the first one, then flash last 3 zips I posted in the link up there, then xposed, then reboot
I really have 0 problems here. I thought I kept swiftboard in it? hmm. I will make a patch zip with keyboard in it, hopefully it helps. you can also push a keyboard app in system/app/Appname/app.apk 0644 permission
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/swift...swiftkey-beta-7-0-8-363-android-apk-download/
can you do me a favor? make a screenshot of the system app scroll down, then send me. Maybe I uploaded wrong system?
do you can xposed patch on turbo final v2 rom?
it stucked.

1. Flashed .179 with FULL WIPE.
2. pushed the TWRP and Kernel via ADB.
3. Entered the TWRP and restored your /system from the backup.
4. Flashed the Kernel again, just in case. (JanJan's 179)
5. Rebooted back into the TWRP and flashed the other three zips (2-Patching, 3-Magisk and 4-Permissive)
6. Flashed the Xposed v90-sdk26-beta3
7. Booted system.
Passed the welcome.
Installed the Xposed Manager and SwiftKey.
All the way get the FC messages that pop up for a second and disappear by themselves.
-Messaging keeps stopping.
Opened the Play Store, it kept loading something for a minute and then ...stopped too.
-Google Play Services keeps stopping.
This is 100% the right /system you've provided, but something just doesn't work.
I'm attaching a screen record from today.
I will update this post as it goes.
Also am gonna try:
-AndroPlusKernel 12 -
-Magisk 16.4 (instead of 16.0) -
-OpenGapps (instead of included) -
-Magisk-Systemless-Xposed (instead of flashing /system included) - works either way

do you have g8141 or g8142? google play issue is related to not updating proper build prop to your device

Oh, i forgot to mention it. I have extracted your build.prop (with added extra lines against the stock .179), changed the lines to the g8142 and saved it. I replace the build.prop to the one containing "g8142" lines right after restoring your /system, setting the rights to 0644, before the first boot.

I can actually do that, but in the opposite way. Debloat exactly in the same way as turbo rom. its possible, but first I want people to try this out and see if ti works, before I make a rom that doesnt work.

can you try to enter system/priv app/gmscore, then inside the folder delete lib and gmscore.apk, then replace it with this
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...2-8-66-090400-200774163-android-apk-download/
GmsCore.apk with permission 0644
same with phonesky
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...6-08-all-0-pr-200628961-android-apk-download/
then reboot with dalvik and cache removed (2 things only) there may be LIB compatibility issues.
Hell if google play doesnt work for g8142, I can also do nanomod! which is very light on the battery
nanomod needs xposed, but it works with xposed, so

I've already tried the whole ROM with the OpenGapps yesterday, and it didn't work, but I gave it a try again with your files. :good: I didn't even replace the Build.prop - let it stay where it is.
So, on a clean flash:
1. I've replaced the GmsCore.apk, Phonesky.apk with the ones you gave me the links for
2. Gave them the proper permissions
3. Cleaned Dalvik
Result? Google Play Services keeps stopping.
Messaging and other apps kept FC too.
I don't think it's 8142's problem. I think there's something wrong with your /system
It is not only the Gapps problem, because Messaging and some other apps randomly FC too. Check the video in my previous post. It's a common problem, not only the Gapps fail.
Note! I don't do dirty flashes for testing purposes: every and each time I flashed everything cleanwise again, from scratch, with the flashtool rom, to make 100% sure.
Now, I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

if nothing works, then it means it must be a framework issue. I am on G8141 without any issues.
thanks for testing so far. I don't have g8142 so I cannot know.
1. in xposed install http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.thermatk.android.xf.fakegapps (do this first, just enable it, dont reboot in recovery yet)
2.delete the following
/system/app/GooglePrintRecommendationService/GooglePrintRecommendationService.apk
/system/app/GoogleAnalyticsProxy/GoogleAnalyticsProxy.apk
/system/app/GoogleExtShared/GoogleExtShared.apk
/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
/system/priv-app/GmsCore/GmsCore.apk

/system/priv-app/GooglePartnerSetup/GooglePartnerSetup.apk
/system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
/system/priv-app/Phonesky/Phonesky.apk
3. then flash nanodroid https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/ then reboot. you might want to go options of google play then clear data afterwards.
(4. extra, see if settings folder in app is same permission as other folders, and if apk inside is also same as other apk in the different folders)
cant google login. it just black screen

The difference between them is minimal. Somehow it worked for me with OpenGapps. I'll set the phone up and leave it as it is, as it's 4:00 am already. I'm glad it worked somehow.
I'll test it during the week, though i've already found several issues, like, in Album app it doesn't allow to move from the internal memory to the folders on the SD card already existing (don't know why?? - Google Photos app does it with no problem)

Did you read the conversation here before posting your message? You're not alone in this problem.
Try flashing .179 again, with all the wipes, etc - following the instruction.
And flash Open Gapps right before you boot up in the system. It has JUST worked for me when I tried it in the last time, though it hadn't worked for me yesterday!
Active Screen, XZ2 Camera and some other XZ2 features, Xposed, WiFi, data, everything works just fine.
Had to spend two nights to achieve it, though.
Attaching a video of working Xposed. My device recognizes as Pixel XL because I have a Daydream Enabling magisk module.

After researching the framework info, I found out ASEAN G8142 roms are able to be edited to work with xposed.
So I extracted the framework, added some info, changed build.prop, and there you go, it worked for my G8141.
It might also work with 2xx firmwares, but I am too busy right now!
1. Download 47.1.A.12.179 stock rom for G8141 or G8142 ROM, and completely erase your phone with it using flashtool (having a twrp backup of /data is perfectly fine), in wipe, select all, otherwise you will get problems with encryption
2. install twrp via fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=890278863836296663
3. (G8141) recover my system backup using twrp, if you have dual sim G8142 you have to follow step 4 as well
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207498283
to recover, simply make a backup of something, then you will see this in your sdcard: twrp/xxx/1970-xx-xx/xxx

though the rom is made by sony I got it from MEA version from XPERIFIRM and modified by me I did include HIS xposed fix (not directly).
What I did copy was the framework intents those are the same as his. If I modified framework myself and installed his xposed then because of mismatch the whole thing would crash so I had to force the same intents to match the signature.
