Na, I want to start again. I am making it better as I now have full access to Ubuntu.
so this will be a new one? will you delete CMparts ? maybe you make a To Do list in the startpost to let the world see what you want to reach with this rom
i hope you can understand my very bad school englisch
edit: download link would be awesome
Yeah this is a new and it is based on AOSP 2.2 FRF91. Not Cm6 2.2 FRF50
DL link? Might give this a go.

Airbus, is it really AOSP?
A person thinks "it's modification of OpenSwift." I think "it's AOSP"

Cool! I might give it a try. Did you use the source files from OpenSwift to build this ROM?
The haptic feedback/sensor buttons/ doesn't work!!!

To get haptic feedback go to add shortcut to homescreen then select cyanogenmod settings then input then edit the haptic feed back tweaks
Yes, I saw these shortcuts, but again no change, no vibration.
Spirit FM Radio from the market doesn't work from the market or more likely the android apps & games section if xda for a radio does it? It has many audio methods and is worth a try

Nice going there! Will test it out later and will provide feedback.
I also would like to know the system apps you have removed as well as if no-verity-no-encrypt still gets the lockscreen unlock delay.

Not much apps that I had remove like Microsoft apps, some gapps, samsung apps. Still got some bloatware that you can remove manually. So far I got no lockscreen delay.
Alright, I have tested your custom rom and I have a few things to say.
- Wifi doesn't work
- Status bar only shows one sim
- Dolby ATMOS works, would like to know where and how you got it so I can try it on my stock ROM
- How did you completely remove knox? I would like to know this also cause I can't use private browsing in the samsung browser or the s health.
Previous firmware was from a deodexed russian nougat stock.
Lol, sorry but from screenshots it looks so ugly...

- I will try to fix the wifi. Honestly I didn't try using wifi cause I'm using mobile data everytime.
- My statusbar shows dual sim as you see in my screenshot.
- Sent to your PM
- For s health you need to change this line ro.config.tima=1 to ro.config.tima=0 in build.prop. No problem for me for using private browsing.
Let me check again the rom and let you know later.

Thank you for the effort, I will try to test your next release.
The dolby soundmod is just the next best thing ever.
I retried to use the rom again to do some further testing, it seems that bluetooth is working but wifi and cellular data is not picking up. The no encrypt zip still does a 5 second delay when unlocking the phone with a zip or a pattern. I suggest not flashing the zip.
As for the knox, particularly I want to remove the knox version which can be found inside software information. I have already removed apps that relate to knox however Samsung internet still gets stuck in "importing data to secret mode". Completely removing it might solve this issue and probably to give myself a peace of mind..

No.
By the way don't deodex the ROM because it will slow down things.
You already said that you want this ROM to be clean right ? so no themes, no modifications. Because I love like this to.
Odexed ROM is better for speed so please just leave it odexed and do your other things without deodexing it.
Okk before downloading view this link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...s/enable-hidden-csc-features-a520f-n-t3704161
Or search for hidden csc features in A5
Also search a simple debloat script and you can have all these features on latest patch( latest firmware )

I'll update to latest firmware. The post that you linked is credited in the OP and it's not at it is.
The simple debloat script breaks samsung cloud, samsung gear devices functionality, etc.. and also breaks other stuff that leads to insane battery drain (it would only last one day).
If it was so easy and so great I wouldn't bother.

No.
Did anybody compare this ROM to the Elite Stock ROM down in this board?
The zip is certainly smaller, about 300mb.
Im starting to have some stability issues with elite stock ROM.
One has to be careful debloating a stock ROM, Samsungs setup is complicated and some things could brake.

I did and that was the one I was using before I decided to make a improved one.
You will notice a big improvement in battery life.. more features and all broken stuff from debloating fixed.. like galaxy apps.. gear and cloud
You can also wait for the weekend as I will update the base to latest.
Introduction: Doze helps solve this problem by periodically blocking wakelocks and shutting off network access if your phone goes unused for a while. It will then periodically allow apps to check in during “maintenance windows” every so often (these windows occur less frequently the longer you don’t use your device). Depending on which version of Android you have.
Mechanism: Universal Xiaomi Doze Mode
- Fix Battery Juice
- Agressive Doze (Light)
- Maintaining Deep Sleep
- Wake-up Tracking and Cut-off
Add-ons:
- Ambient Always on Display Gestures on selected aosp roms supported.

What if i want to uninstall it??
But my MIUI Redmi 4A Nougat has no Doze settings i can find. I think Xiaomi frowns on Doze, although one can still find the function "Battery Optimization" using Greenify.
Just rooted my P4 XL - What "bloat" to remove and what new stuff to install?
Hello everyone,
I have been rocking my Nexus 6P for quite some time now but I am running out of space and it was time to get a 3rd battery replacement.
So I decided to get the Pixel 4 XL Clear White with 128GB. Ordered at christmas, received yesterday, rooted today
Usually I would always go with DirtyUnicorn ROM + Kernel but that one hasn't been released yet for the Pixel 4 XL and I am not sure if it is even worth it at this point.
So what I am trying to do is to stay with OEM ROM + Kernel + Root and see if that gets me satisfied.
How ever, DirtyUnicorns bringt optimiations and lets me have the option to install Android at its relatively bare minimum to only add and install what I need and want.
This means I need to:
1. ) Remove some "bloat" that I might not need or want
2. ) Optimize, if there even is anything to optimize
3. ) Make use of root to get my OEM ROM more customized
I am trying to make a list for all three categories and would appreciate any feedback or suggestions:
1. ) Remove some "bloat" that I might not need or want
- Android Accessibility Suite
- Android Auto (?)
- Calculator
- Chrome (I use Chrome Beta)
- Compass
- Data Transfer Tool
- Digital Wellbeing
- Drive
- Duo
- Gmail
- Google News
- Google One
- Google Play Movies & TV
- Google Play Services for AR
- Google Podcassts
- Google Support Services
- Keep Notes
- Photos
- Pixel Launcher
- Pixel Live Wallpaper
- Pixel Tips
- Playground
- Sound Amplifier
- Youtube Music
2. ) Optimize, if there even is anything to optimize
- So far I am not sure if there is anything that really needs to be optimized.
3. ) Make use of root to get my OEM ROM more customized
- Adaway
- OverrideDNS seems obsolete since Android 10 lets me set my own DNS for all connections
- Bluebox Trust Manager (to remove ****ty certificates)
- Viper4Android
- Display color calibration (is that even possible with Ambient Display Color?)
I used to root my device for roms and kernels before, but with Pixels I prefer stay on stock.
It is already so minimal and clean, with it's unique pixel features that I just need a little bit more of customization. Here is what I usually do
Remove apps that are not necessary for the device and/or I don't use. That means:
- Android auto
- Youtube music
- Pixel tips
- Play movies
Optimization:
- Battery friendly and performance boosted kernels, upstreamed linux if possible. Now using kirisakura kernel with it's powerhint magisk module, so far so good
- Naptime for entering doze faster
- Some magisk modules like gms optimization for play services
- Edxposed for fingerface, so I can use the face scanner in every app that supports at least fingerprint auth
Other tweaks:
- Adaway
- Product sans font everywhere (sound silly but I can't go back to roboto after using this)
- Viper4android
- Immersive navbar (hide black navigation bar and make gesture's pill above the content)
- youtube vanced
- gpay sqlite fix
That's it. Small little tweaks here and there and nothing else.

That is pretty much also my plan. Do you get OTA notifications? If yes, that means I do the OTA update whenever I get notified, re-root and re-apply the custom kernel.

Like @TENN3R stated, there's not a lot you really need to do to improve the stock performance of the P4XL. I too use the kirisakura kernel and his magisk modules mods which gives great battery performance and stability. I also use @Tulsadiver mods for center clock and nav bar swap.
You may get the OTA notification, however you have to do a few things to get it to download and install. You'll see a couple of guides in the forum threads. Personally, I like updating the monthly releases via fastboot. Hope you enjoy your new device :good:

Yes, you get notified about updates, but when you download them the installation fails because of root (doens't even start the installation).
There are some tutorials on how to update when you're rooted, here are two ways:
- By OTA
- By fastboot, which is also the one I always go for, I heard some people have minor problems with ota sometimes, and this always worked for me since my Pixel 1.
If you choose the fastboot one, after the installation simply patch the new boot.img with magisk, flash it, reboot and if you want a custom kernel reflash it

Awesome, is there a list of "stock apps" that you removed? I recall from DirtyUnicorns that you cannot remove all stock apps. E.g. removing the "calculator" might break some stuff on Android 8 even when installing a calculator from the play store.

I actually haven't removed any of them, I simply freeze what I don't use with TiBu. Unfortunately, with the advent of A10, our system files are now read only. Which means that you can no longer remove apk's via root explorer type apps or TiBu like we did a while back. There are a few custom roms out there that apparently have debloated some things, however I haven't felt the need to try them like I once did since my device runs perfectly fine with a few mods here and there :good:

Freezing sounds also fine too me. Which ones did you freeze?
@Utini
If i understand you wrong sry but when i see your lists in the OP it seems to me that you nearly want everything away from Gapps and Google Play Services.
For @TENN3R the stock rom is already clean but for me a clean system means pure AOSP so no Gapps at all. I don't how much you rely on Play Services and Gapps but why don't try a pure aosp rom as phhussons quack vanilla version?
Sry when this is Off Topic.

I used to root my device for roms and kernels before, but with Pixels I prefer stay on stock.
It is already so minimal and clean, with it's unique pixel features that I just need a little bit more of customization. Here is what I usually do
Remove apps that are not necessary for the device and/or I don't use. That means:
- Android auto
- Youtube music
- Pixel tips
- Play movies
Optimization:
- Battery friendly and performance boosted kernels, upstreamed linux if possible. Now using kirisakura kernel with it's powerhint magisk module, so far so good
- Naptime for entering doze faster
- Some magisk modules like gms optimization for play services
- Edxposed for fingerface, so I can use the face scanner in every app that supports at least fingerprint auth
Other tweaks:
- Adaway
- Product sans font everywhere (sound silly but I can't go back to roboto after using this)
- Viper4android
- Immersive navbar (hide black navigation bar and make gesture's pill above the content)
- youtube vanced
- gpay sqlite fix
That's it. Small little tweaks here and there and nothing else.

Where are you finding Product Sans In the Fontio Substratum app?
I like to stay on the stock launcher myself, and actually don't even limit data and restrict battery for apps anymore (used to for most things). 10 seems to be pretty on point with not letting apps drain your battery. I haven't noticed much difference from restricting apps versus not.
Anyway, root apps I use:
SD Maid for cleaning system/app cache
DarQ - Lets you use the force dark mode feature from dev options, but on a per app basis. I can't live without this one.
Pixel Launcher Mods (the app) - Lets you change icons using packs found on play. Also has a few other tweaks like system tuner.
Swift Backup
Viper4Android. Also can't live without this.
Kirisakura kernel
Rosemary font - @Tulsadiver has been kind enough to make some font magisk modules
Terminal
EX Kernel Manager

I'm using this magisk module, not a substratum theme

Like @TENN3R stated, there's not a lot you really need to do to improve the stock performance of the P4XL. I too use the kirisakura kernel and his magisk modules mods which gives great battery performance and stability. I also use @Tulsadiver mods for center clock and nav bar swap.
You may get the OTA notification, however you have to do a few things to get it to download and install. You'll see a couple of guides in the forum threads. Personally, I like updating the monthly releases via fastboot. Hope you enjoy your new device :good:

Is it possible do you think to open the ota. Take the boot.img out. Install magisk like you would when rooting and change the name back to boot.img. reinstall it in the ota and install the ota normally?

which optimization magisk modules are you using? I used to have GMS optimization, but what else do you use?
Also I use active edge mod, pixel 4 tele extender, p4 gcam mod, and ainur narsil sound mod + viper

If you've downloaded and extracted an OTA, you won't find a "boot.img" You'll see what's called power.bin, which I assume contains the boot.img, however, there is no image to extract. You'll need to pull the boot.img from the factory image.zip
Personally, I only update via fastboot with factory images. For me, it's the easiest, most reliable way to update. After 4+ years of doing it that way, this ol dog ain't a changing :good:
any dummy proof rooted way to get soli gestures ?? (not available in my country)
