Installation:
From 6.0.1:
Flash with Flashfire and do full wipe
From 7.1.1:
*Must use PC*
Method A
1. Unzip ROM.
2. Flash the included eng_root kernel with Odin.
3. Double click the included "Install.bat"
The script will wipe your data for you (and not touch the internal sd)
Method B
Use Odin to downgrade to 6.0.1 then flash zip with flashfire.
Download
I'll add more screenshots tomorrow
As of right now, even with the custom ROM, there is no root, correct?
I installed it, and every time I boot, I get a System UI has stopped error.
@NateDogg1232
Did you wipe?
... Correct no root yet, until we get a permissive kernel

Yes, I did wipe.
I even did it again using the default recovery just to make sure.
More screenshots
Please, upload more screenshots, I would like to install this rom but I do not know if I really have any problems when using it, as it is in terms of speed, can it really be used now?
@RaghebAlama
Sorry I am having problems uploading more screenshots (used all my data this month)
I'll be sure to do it this evening when I'm on wifi.
I've been running this for a week now and haven't had any issues yet
But after the above comment you might want to grab full Odin updates as well, just in case you need to recover
@NateDogg1232
What method did you use to install?
What device do you have?
I would recommend going back to stock and giving it another try.
I apologise tho, I tried to get a few testers this time but never find any. It's hard to test every scenario with just one device
I used FlashFire from actually your first GPE ROM.
I have the J320A
I will reset from stock and try again as soon as I can and try again.
Whether it works or not, though. Thank you for your work on this phone
I bet that's it, I'm not sure I tried to install from v1.
Can't think of why it would fail except maybe if goodlock has files on your sd and this systemui is trying to use them... If you want to test that just pull your sd, because wipe already did your internal sd
I'll test it later this evening
[EDIT]
Nah wasn't that, it was a mistake by me. Two actually.
Testing a quick fix now. And I'll upload a full fixed Rom while I sleep

try to explain in detail the installation process since 7.1.1 the eng_root does not detect it ODIN if it is not in .tar format, after installing the Eng_root, you have to start the normal cell phone and then the second.pass with the Install.bat ?

I fixed the systemui error and another popped up, sigh... ill let you know when it's fixed.
The only way to install this currently is from 7.1.1
@RaghebAlama
Eng_root is a tar. Flash it with Odin.
Your phone will stay on the logo the entire time.
Then just run the bat...The script waits for your phone, copies the required files, then it flashes the original kernel back and reboots.
easy peasy
... and it really does work installing this way
Sorry for the delay. Uploaded fixed version, OP updated
Alright, this looks AWESOME. Will try it when I get time. But about the root problem: I don't know if nobody's thought of this, or if I don't know something you do, but to get root for this, couldn't you add Magisk-14.zip (or another root method) to the queue in Flashfire, or include it in the install.bat? Flash the ROM then root, then reboot to system? I've tried to install Magisk before on stock Nougat with its new way of installing, which is flashing a boot.img that Magisk Manager patched, but Odin always failed on Operation: Write. I was going to go back to Marshmallow to try flashing a ROM and Magisk with Flashfire.
Hello. Can I get permission to make a version for j320fn/f/g

Odin will not install a custom boot image on our device.
There are other ways to install the custom kernel, but our bootloader will not allow it to boot.
I can install SuperSU, but our selinux policy will not let the system load. The way I know it's rooted tho is that I can get a root shell thru adb, but that's useless since the system will not fully load... We need a new permissive boot image (engboot)

Got it. Again, I was without the experience. Thanks for clearing it up.
Can i use this rom on my j320f
Does it work on the SM-J320m?
@aR_aNiK & @lithoy
Sorry guys, no.
I created a new ROM with WifiCalling: [ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo 8.0 Rooted][WifiCalling]
ROM last updated: 9/24/2018
Introduction:
HUGE thanks to the guys that got this going like root & figuring out hybrid stocks! This thread here is just my take and customization on what they already did. Ultimately, I wanted Oreo rooted & modded, but I couldn't find a single guide. And the ROMs that existed weren't exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something exclusive to Tmobile. So I did a ton of reading and compiled it all together into a HOPEFULLY easy guide to follow. PS If you like Samsung bloatware, this is NOT for you!
Description:
EXTREMELY debloated! Nearly bare minimum, while still retaining hardware functionality. Eg, Samsung Gallery & Camera exist so we get 4k recording, and there aren't errors when we pull up the Gallery to edit, etc.
Everything possible I replace Samsung with Google
Solid ROM, very fast
There are very few options in Aroma to limit issues & repeatability. There are many options once booted up after initial setup
If you hate Samsung SW and just want a solid working ROM with very few install options to get you up and running this is for you.
Aroma installer layout is a little wonky, apologies (If anyone knows how to fix this please chime in )
This will delete all of your data! This is the only way so don't ask. Backup your data!
Features:
Optional Tmobile Apps
Optional Google Apps
Root Features: See Downloads->Recommended Root Zip & thank him for his work!!

Meant no offensive at all, I assure you. Did I completely misunderstand the point of the xda community? I clearly gave you credit and didn't say I created this from scratch, rather pieced it together, literally what every Dev here does. I am not doing this for money. I mentioned & thanked you, which is probably how you found this thread. All I am trying to do is give back to the community. I spent a TON of time going through guides, updating what I found, creating a guide, and testing this - I didn't just rebrand it.
That said, I did use part of your work so I'll give you the choice: can I use part of your work and allow the xda community to benefit, or do you want me to remove your segment & Lanc app this comes with?
Btw see the post above yours. And shouldn't this chat be on PM? For reference, what I used from you was your apks so I didn't have to redownload & retest them and aroma script for a starting point, but the script is 90% different at this point.
Again, I did not mean to offend, but please let me know if I have your permission. Thank you
Good news! We got @Lanc-City 's blessing to continue to use his base ROM & LancControl app. This XDA community is AWESOME! Don't forget to go and check out his original Mod'd ROM: Project L s7 Google/Samsung Oreo Rom CRF1
VoLTE icon fix
Not sure if this will work for everyone. Download System UI Tuner by Zach Wander from Play Store. Once in menu, go to TouchWiz, scroll down to IMS VoLTE Icon and toggle on then off. I did not apply the fix that you have the link for above, and I was able to uninstall the app and the icon does not come back.
Hey, I am trying to use your ROM but after I flash the zip file and finish set up with Aroma and reboot, I get stuck in the boot screen where the rainbow colored X symbol is spinning. I followed the guide exactly so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe my default options in flash fire are not correct? All the boxes in that screen are unchecked. Should I mount /system read/write? I just hit the checkmark and flash. Also I did hit Install Root with Interactive Governor, if that makes a difference. Any help? Thanks.

Copying/Pasting PM I sent you for others, and added some things:
Did you let the "rainbow" sit there for at least 10 min? (It should be 3-5 but who knows.) Are you soft-bricked in your current situation? If you start again, at "Install Stock Oreo:" does this at least restore your phone back to stock Oreo? If so, then try again and proceed with ALL the remaining steps again, CAREFULLY reading the instructions again & again.
Also, what phone model do you have? And I admit I haven't tested the CPU governors in the root script ; I ALWAYS chose none - I'll remove those options in the next version since I have tested them and there are plenty of CPU overclocking options once booted inside the ROM.
If you are able to restart this process and get stock Oreo back, AND chose NO CPU governors in the root script, maybe you want to either try "NO" to Google & Tmobile options just to make sure you can get Android booted- If it boots fine, then try the ROM again and pick Google and/or Tmobile to isolate any issues (things that are breaking)
Have you used ONLY what I provided, such as ODIN (version is important), etc?
Re Flashfire: Default options should be fine. The ROM script will set all the partitions, mounts, permissions, etc.
Good luck!
*Above response I guess is for overall troubleshooting the ROM, if any issues present themselves.
On another note: I'm actively working on this ROM as time allows. Trying to ease the install process, correct some issues, further customize, & improve...

So I did let it sit for a long time, maybe like 30 mins, but nothing happened. So I tried again from installing from stock and repeating each step. I'm using the odin files you supplied. Same thing. I was using install Google Apps and No T-mobile apps, and interactive governor for both situations. Stuck on boot animation screen. I did not try the options you suggested above since I eventually got it to work. So while stuck on the boot animation screen, I just ended up holding the Vol down, power and home until it rebooted and said entering recovery mode and let go before it went into download mode. From there I just wiped data, and cache, which may not be necessary, and then rebooted, and everything works. Thanks.

That's odd since the installer does exactly that. But I added this to the guide. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the tutorial. Deeply appreciate the effort you put in foraging the resources and putting all the pieces together. The rom works great and all but I can't seem to get the lockscreen to display the wallpaper. It's just black lol. The adaptive clock works however. Would be grateful if you could drop a fix for this.

Your stock oreo should work without issues but I always flash his stock firmware just in case(it's smoother too I think). And no, it doesnt require an unlocked bootloader.
Oh and happy modding

There are a couple ways an installer can work for custom rom mods like this: start with base then remove everything we don't want. OR: delete everything then add in what we want. This rom happens to work with the latter method. You can see why the base would be so important with the first method. (Because if we don't start with a given base then we can't predict the results because we don't know what u froze or deleted). Regardless, for expected & reliable results, I would always start with an Odin flash of stock for a rom like this. Roms like this are different than vanilla AOSPs because we strip what Samsung & tmobile brewed up, and we often then refer to it as a hybrid- as opposed to vanilla aosp which would be google only & only Samsung for drivers, etc. Hope that helps.
Btw I'm working on another rom with tmobile wifi calling working. I had to start from scratch, literally to get it working. Btw I'm curious if anyone else got it to work after the fact with a custom rom. If so, PLEASE chime in & let me know. Thanks!
hi to all, has anyone managed to root on galaxy s10 with the July security patch update? I tried the same method with magisk but there is nothing to do, every time it gives me a different error. In the last attempt I made during the boot phase, in the upper left corner, it was written: "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" or something like that.
You didnt do it right. I would suggest youtube the magisk rooting process
Same tried to root it
I, was able to get it to root but the camera still makes my device rebooted
And tried to do it with ap file by changing recovery inside to the patched twrp that didn't work just booted into stock recovery instead

TWRP ≠ Root.
With the latest patch the camera crashes if TWRP is flashed. With stock recovery everything should work fine.
I'm on Exynos ASG8 without any issues, except slow wifi in apps (not browser).

It is...nearly everytime Samsung throws out a new security patch TWRP is crashing the camera.
This is what I found out after having the same issue. I don't know if there's a new version for the latest patch.
Aren't the custom roms based on One UI? Shouldn't the stock recovery still work? (I really don't know)

It's easy to flash it, even without running system.
Hi everyone, I'm still ASD4 and basically haven't update since because everything is a hassle these days. Now I thought maybe it's time to update, but keep reading things like this and camera, wifi bootloops problems etc.
Are these issues a real thing? or just some individual cases where it happens?
It's real like a $2 dollar bill.

I'm always afraid that I install something or make a small change and end up in a bootloop... I wish twrp and everythign work just fine like before and I could make a backup after installing a rom and doing the most basic stuff.
Since this is the first post that comes on Google for "only official released binaries" "s10".
I had this problem again and again, and it seems that it was caused by one of the reboot not being done with the correct timing with the 3 buttons.
The thing I was missing was after flashing the patched AP files (and the other files).
When you restart, keep the 3 buttons pressed until you see the blue screen and then release only power (keep vol up + bixby) to get into reset mode.
I think I didn't keep them pressed long enough.
If the device restarts, keep pressing the 3 buttons (never let it restart without pressing them).
Once the factory wipe has been done: Restart with the 3 buttons, and keep them pressed until 1 to 2 sec after the screen that asks you to press the power button to continue.
Have some free time this coming weekend and was considering installing the android 11 beta posted here
Reading around this forum I've seen people have had issues installing gapps.
Has anyone managed to install gapps successfully? If not, I will stay on the NX627J_CNCommon_V2.23 build.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I have now upgraded to Android 11 and installed google apps, here's how I did it.
The usual disclaimers apply: DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH ADB, FASTBOOT ETC. I will not be held responsible for bricked devices.
If you wish to void your warranty the command to unlock the bootloader and allow flashing with fasboot the command is "fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX627J"
1. Backup the data you want to keep from your phone. Wipe the phone using stock recovery or TWPR
2. Upgrade to 2.24 using full zip. As I had previously rooted my device so the stock recovery wasn't working and I had to flash TWRP.
3. Upgrade to 3.11 using full zip. Either use the stock recovery or TWRP. This will be the last time you can use TWRP for flashing due to changes in Android 11. TWRP does not support Android 11 yet. If I'd have realised this before I would have tried to flashed google apps at this step. Can't confirm if this works but I wish I'd have tried it.
4. If you need root, install the APK for magisk "canary" (or any version that supports patching boot.img)
5. Open the zip for 3.11 and extract boot.img, copy to your device
6. Patch the boot.img using Magisk. I used these instructions. Reboot.
7. Congratluations, you have Android 11 with root!
If you need gapps and didn't install them yet, it's still possible. Flashing without TWRP was a challenge, but after a lot of hours wasted, I found that BiTG apps was working which I downloaded from this page. I flashed using EX Kernel Manager but I would imagine other apps that allow root flashing will work similarly.
Currently, I have not been able to get SafetyNet checks to pass. I will update this thread with details as I uncover them.
For WhatsApp verfication to pass make sure you have granted Google services framework SMS permissions.
Hope this is helpful for some people who are thinking about making the move to Android 11. No major issues to report yet, will update this thread if anything comes up.
EDIT 2021/02/22: I have repeated this process successfully for V3.15.
thais rom support to flash twrp or google app?

you can uninstall most of the bloat without root, and even more of it with

"stock" for this phone is what you have installed now. There is no custom ROM, which is your real complaint. To be honest, I would also much prefer a custom ROM, if you find one let me know! Anyway this is completely off topic for this thread

Yeah, stock is what I have installed right now, which is Android 9. I would like to get the stock Android 11, without their skin. Maybe a GSI rom could fix it, but I was not able to install it. As soon as you flash the gsi rom on nubia ui 8, the system breaks.

Yeah I hear you - it's incredibly annoying that you can't set the default launcher to anything else. Well, I'm sure you can probably! But I'm going to leave my phone to settle for a few days at least before messingw ith it any more
Good luck.

I'll stay on Android 9 for the moment, but I will never buy from this brand again. Apple proved me again that their phones are the best from the market. And Google Phones of course.
I have updated my phone from Android 9 to Android 11 V3.11 everything works fine but can I install gapps and how?

You may want to add in the instructions the command to unlock the bootloader of the z20 since users wouldn't be able to flash otherwise.
I managed to get this working and trying to de-china-fy to have english only. Will report back if I can somehow replace the default launcher.
Edit: got a my total launcher running by placing the apk inside the folder where the default nubia launcher is sitting. With root, just place the apk under system/app/nubia launcher folder. It's not working 100% perfect for me as nubia edge gestures stop letting me pull up recent apps so I can't multi task anymore

Thanks that's a good idea, I'll try it out. Can you explain a little more around the gestures issue, is it that you show the navbar and the nubia controls are now somehow in the way? I've been a fan of the nubia navigation since I gave it a go and became used to it. Having the back button at any point in the screen is useful I find.
I've added the command to unlock the bootloader to the OP btw.

With the stock nubia launcher even with the Chinese app taken out, swiping left always tries to get you to the Chinese google feed like page. I didn't care for that so I replaced the launcher with total launcher which worked.
The problem is that the swipe up gesture that usually pull up the recent apps to allow switching between application is not working. Even switching the navigation from gestures to 3 button navigation and pressing the recent apps button does nothing.
Perhaps I took one too many Chinese system apps out which caused this error or it is somehow tied into system and nubia launcher itself. Will have to test further.

Thanks makes sense. Yes it sounds like you've uninstalled the Recents app, either reinstate or there are alternatives out there I believe

Just to confirm, I have just tried to set a new default launcher as you suggest above by replacing the APK. Replacing with SmartLauncher I couldn't return to the home screen using the swipe up gesture so have rolled back.

It's weird, the recent apps and swipe up are linked to the nubia launcher for some reason. Despite this, I'm staying with with my launcher as I can't stand the apple like nature of the nubia launcher. I think I have managed to get rid of all the Chinese apps though so all good for now.

Do you get notifications from apps? When I had that rom, I was not receiving any notification.
Phone: Xiaomi Mi 9T /K20 Pro
Current Rom: Miui Global 12.5.1
Wanted Rom: Stock google/pixel with all google apps, but without the awful miui interface
Evening everyone.
I would be very grateful if some kind soul can assist me. I'm trying to replace the standard and hated miui rom with Evolution X (Raphael) rom or any other recommend rom. So far I've successfully managed to connect the phone, setup usb drivers and unlocked the phone as well as used fastboot to flash twrp-3.7.0_9-0-raphael.img.
So far so good, but here's the questions I have or issues I'm having:-
Even though I have removed all screenlocks, the phone files on twrp are still showing as decrypted. I've also deliberately put on a screenlock and then booted to twrp, but I get no messages or request to enter a password. FYI, if I go to Settings>Privacy, the phone does state that it's encrypted.. Other than flashing twrp-3.7.0_9-0-raphael.img, I have also flashed many other versions of twrp, but they all do the same thing, i.e. no mention of any screenlock or decryption.
Although I can flash twrp, if I reboot, it reverts back to miui stock recovery. I then have to reflash twrp image to get back in. Is there a way to keep it installed permanently?
I'm also confused whether I need to root the phone. Is this compulsory and if not, and is it worth it?
Lastly my main goal is to install a rom without the rubbish miui. I still want all google apps, camera, nfc, and everything else to work, but with so many custom roms available, it's getting confusing. Can you please recommend one that is new, popular and has all the standard google apps/rom and stuff?
Thanks in advance.
Apologies - Just BUMPING this up as no reply.

Thanks very much. Sorry about this, but would you mind explaining what that file is and how do I install it? Is there a step-by-step guide that I can follow? Also once it's installed how do I use it to install the custom rom?
Thanks again for your help.

It's a version of orangefox twrp with a fix to support android 13 encryption. Guides on how and what to install are usually provided by the ROMs developers, since each ROM requires different software and steps. I don't think anybody can really recommend you a specific custom ROM, since most of them have their quirks and bugs, but I tried both EvolutionX and VoltageOS and both were running fine on my device (both android 13), now I'm running lineageos 20 unofficial and it runs fine too.
I see you want to install EvolutionX, and you will find all info on their thread, and should ask support for that specific ROM on that thread.
Sorry @vito_metallica, when I was asking for a guide or link, is was not for how to install a ROM, but how to install the orangefox twrp. Last thing I want to do is to brick the phone, lol.

Extract the zip and there is a recovery.img file inside. Maybe try it before actually flashing it (fastboot boot recovery.img)
And finally flash with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
EDIT:
Just wanna say, thanks so much @vito_metallica
Believe it or not, I've now edited this same post 5-6 times, because each time there was an issue, I'd edit the post again and again, lol.
Good news! I've managed to successfully install the EvolutionX rom.
I've had a play around and its a brilliant rom. Just a few issues which I hope I can iron out:-
The Android System WebView won't update - I've tried to uninstall, clear cache/data etc, but it still won't work
Is there a way to remove, relocate or hide the bottom Google Search Bar? - I never tend to use it as I find it annoying, so I would prefer to totally remove it if possible.
Thanks again

- Did you also clear cache and storage of Play store? If nothing works you could still install updates manually via apkmirror or you could install Chrome and use that as system WebView ( you can switch in dev settings ) or you could use Bromite system WebView ( search on GitHub for info about installation)
- If there isn't an option to remove the search bar you could still switch to a different launcher like lawnchair or Nova Launcher ( which I personally prefer), but maybe you should ask the EvolutionX devs first, since maybe the stock launcher has features built in that you would lose if using a custom one.

I always thought by clearing the cache/storage , it would cause major issues, like apps stop working. Am I actually safe to do this without any ill-effect? Will it still remember that I'm logged in and what apps I've already downloaded/updated?
Regarding the bottom google search bar - I think I read somewhere this is built-in and it can't be removed without causing major issues. I guess I'll just have to live with it.
The other issue I've found with this rom is that after disabling gestures and re-enabling the 3 navigation buttons (which I prefer), they are the wrong-way round, i.e. I prefer the back button to be on the right-hand side. So if you know any way of fixing this then please let me know.
I'll post these questions on the dev's chat too.
Thanks for all your help and advice.
