[ROM][GTi9305][XXUENE4]27.6.2014[JB4.3] ▌Official Stock Rom ▌➤Rooted➤Customize guide!
Based on stock GTI9305 I9305XXUENE4 JB 4.3:
- Rooted, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Busybox added
- used AGNi or Boeffla Kernel
- isn’t cleaned from bloatware, but very battery friendly and smooth ...you can clean it yourself after following
- always locale CSC apps removed and unbranded
- without any mods, but read carefully following
Customize how you want an wish!
After install rom you can customize yourself with this guide:
Mods: easier way is use Xposed framework with Wanam Xposed. For example it included call recording, 4-way reboot menu, circle battery indicator and many many. Some screenshots also in attachment.
Very simple and short guide you'll find also in 2nd post.
Bloatware: you can do it yourself how you want through Es explorer or TitaniumBackup, what can you?, for example take inspiration from this post for S4, other you can find alone
Another and easier way is to use Rom cleaner according 2nd post (cleaning list attached)
Add-ons: last important thing is for me camera with hardware volume button, you can download and flash compatible Lite Camera mod from here. If you want add some another mod from i9300, you can me send link and I'll check compatibility, or modify for our model
All next it’s on your own risk!!!
Download:
I9305XXUENE4_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_AGNi_3_54_SELPermissive
- used AGNi Kernel v3.5.4 SELinux Permissive (compatible with Old and New Bootloader)
- if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
Older Official Rom:
I9305XXUENC2_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_AGNi_3_54_SELPermissive
- used AGNi Kernel v3.5.4 SELinux Permissive (compatible with Old and New Bootloader)
- if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUENC1_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_AGNi_3_6_SELPer
- used AGNi Kernel v3.6.0 SELinux Permissive (compatible with Old and New Bootloader)
Warning: if you before flash official Rom 4.3 via Odin you have new bootloader. You must on above Roms immediately after flash of Rom (before first boot) flash and then use right stock kernel from HERE!
I9305XXUENA2_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51stable …...if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEML9_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51b13 …...if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEML8_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51b122 .....if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEMKC_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgn_Boeffla51b7 …..if you already have 4.3 Stock from here, you can install without full wipe, isn't any problem
I9305XXUEMKC_CWM_Root_DEOdex_Ziplgd_Boeffla51b4 ...attention this is version without 5 Shortcuts on LockScreen!!!
Install:
- first of all backup all your data from internal SD card, 4.3 has different structure tree!!!
- if you go from 4.1.2 or older I recommend format internal card, if you don’t do it, on internal card were by me still data (DCIM etc...) and you can’t normal access them on 4.3, but even without formatting you can later move them from old folder to new one in 4.3 with Aroma file manager , for me easer way without format. Also is possible, that date will move automatically – also me happened
- bee sure, that you have EFS backup!!!
- create NanDroid backup to external card!!!
- download the *.zip file to external card!
- if you have new Bootloader download also Stock kernel
- download to Recovery
- ROM isn’t full wipe, but is recommended if you get from 4.1.2 and older
- wipe cache and Dalvik cache is automatically included in last version
- select ZIP file from external card and install
- don’t use re-root after installation inside recovery - you don’t need it, if you'll do, then you need install again SU apk from market
- reboot and wait and wait ...
- enjoy it
PS: if you get format system() error in CWM use last PhilZ Recovery
Note: if your camera doesn't work primary follow this (thanks @Hbohd and @P$T), if you don't have incriminated file, flash again Rom then immediately right Stock kernel from HERE - wifi doesn't work with old bootloader, then take photo, then flash again Rom without full wipe with kernel which you like. If your camera still doesn't work flash some Rom 4.1.2 (via Recovery or Odin) take picture, grab and backup incriminated files, then flash this Rom and put them to data/cwm. Don't forget backup your SlimISP_XX.bin for future. Problem with camera have average only cca 10 users JB 4.3 of 1000 usr..
Info for dev's:
If you want this Rom, or part, use as base for your Rom, just give me credit to your OP

Guide Rom cleaner:
- download ROM Cleaner v2.0 from original Rom cleaner post
- download user cleaning list ROMCleaner_user.txt from attachment
- edit ROMCleaner_user.txt only with OfficeSuite directly in mobile or Notepad ++ how you want
….this is "hardcore" cleaning list (I thing more isn’t possible). You can also it edit only with Notepad++. See into list what you want leave in your Rom a add in front of some *.apk this letter # may not be red . I wanted for example leave AccuweatherWidget.apk, then It will bee so #AccuweatherWidget.apk . Or leave another how it’s and you’ll get cleanest and fastest Rom.
- create on external card folder ../ROMCleaner (must bee exactly named), put there ROM_Cleaner_v2.0.zip and list ROMCleaner_user.txt from atachment
- reboot to recovery and flash ROM_Cleaner_v2.0.zip and use it, list will be automatically loaded and Rom cleaned from cca 330 Mb (more than 180 apks and files)
What remains after cleaning is seen in attachment.
You should NOT remove KNOX Apps if you´r on NEW BOOTLOADER! Use ROMCleaner_user - for users with Knox Bootloader.txt from attachment and after download rename it for ROMCleaner_user.txt
Nearer guide how it use you’ll find in original Rom cleaner thread
If you something screw up, nothing happened, flash again Rom without wipe
Good luck.

Nice project. What about battery drain. Have you tested the rom?

The speed of mediafire is very slow. A mirror for this rom?

After reboot open Gravity Box and start adding tweaks.Some of the tweaks that you can add are:
1. Statusbar/Notification Bar Tweaks
Here you can change the look of statusbar and add some features like Slide over statusbar to adjust brightness, double tab statusbar to sleep.
In this section Battery Settings & Data traffic monitor didn't worked for me. But you can try it in your smartphone.
2. Navigation Bar
Switch On Master switch, tick on Enable navigation bar & Reboot your phone. You will get Softkeys enabled in your phone. You can change the dimensions, colors etc. too
3. Pie Controls
I don't know what it does. I enabled it but didn't see any effect. So i think this feature don't works in our core.
4. Transparency Management
Allows you to add transparency in statusbar and navigation bar . Works well :good:
5. Power Tweaks
Allows you to enable/disable power menu on lock screen. And one of my favourite tweak of Advance Reboot menu
:laugh:
You can also enable charger plug-in/out sound.
6.Display Tweaks
Expanded desktop mode and button backlight notification works good.
Allow all rotations doesn't work.
# You can also add transparency to Volume panel in Media Tweaks.
There are some more tweaks too in GravityBox menu, you can try them and share results with us.
Don't forget to Thanks

Pie control works, it depends on where you set it, if you put it on the bottom, slide from the most bottom part of the screen to the middle or just until the pie apears.
Does Backlight as LED work..?? Its nt working for me bro.. I have installed the latest version of GB only..!
Yet again, all thanks go to @jrkruse for this one. I have modified his zip to work on the Verizon S7 flat. The ROM is silky smooth since it uses the factory kernel. The instructions have been tweaked to work for the Flat. I can confirm that SafetyNet passes using this method.
A MASSIVE thanks goes to @hunteditor for this. I haven't been around XDA much these past few weeks and haven't made a new thread for the U-ROM. It has been long overdue. He took on the annoyance of modifying the instructions and download links to work.

People ask if they can root this Rom. The answer is yes, but why would you want to? You get all the benefits of rooting and still have official status. Plus, you get the outstanding battery life of a non-rooted S7.

An Explanation of what this is. I have found a way to manipulate system files on a stock rom and not loose system official status. This Allows Samsung Pay and all safetynet checking apps to function. This Rom is not rooted just modified.

Latest Odin
Latest FlashFire APK
Nougat_S7_Root_2_81_All_Carriers_V2.zip – thanks jrkruse
S7 Nougat root kernel
Install Instructions From Any Build:
Warning: This will wipe your device. Some of these instructions are redundant, but they will ensure that everything goes as planned. If you don’t follow them to the T, don’t complain.
1) Unzip G930UUEU4BQD2_G930UOYM4BQD2_VZW.zip. Boot the phone into download mode (volume down, home, and power) then flash all four files (BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC) with ODIN. The phone will reboot into recovery and throw an error. Reboot into download mode and reflash HOME_CSC again. – Thanks @thefirst__noel
2) Don’t bother logging into any accounts, as the phone will get wiped again. Copy the FlashFire.apk, AP_G930UUEU4BQD2_CL10860000_QB13198947_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5, and UFirm_Multi_Carrier_Hybrid_NoNaMe_PlayStore_BS_Free_V14_VZWS7FLAT.zip to Internal Storage. – Thanks @appye
3) Make sure secure boot is turned off!!! Shut off the phone and boot into download mode (volume down, home, and power). Flash the S7 Nougat root kernel in the AP slot in Odin.
4) When the phone reboots, unlock developer options and enable USB debugging. Unzip the S7_SU_2_79_Root_Unroot_WO_Tweaks.zip and run root.bat from your PC. May need to right-click and run as administrator.
5) Now install FlashFire. In FlashFire, select add Flash Firmware Package and choose AP_G930UUEU4BQD2_CL10860000_QB13198947_REV02_user_ low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta.tar.md5 and make sure all partitions are checked.
Then add Flash Zip or OTA and choose UFirm_Multi_Carrier_Hybrid_NoNaMe_PlayStore_BS_Fre e_V14_VZWS7FLAT.zip and tap mount system when FlashFire asks.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK INJECT ROOT AFTER ADDING THE ZIP! – Thanks @dclutter1
Click Add Wipe and choose Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache and choose Format Cache Also select wipe SuperSU image. Make sure wipe is at end of flash sequence. The sequence should be AP file first then Zip second and Wipe cache last.
6) The phone will restart and FlashFire will flash the firmware first, then the Aroma Installer will start.
7) In Aroma, select wipe ALL data (DO NOT KEEP SU) – See notes below.
8) The phone will say custom status on first boot, but it goes away after setup and reboot.
The phone may take up to 20 minutes to boot the first time, so be patient.
If you reflash the ROM, you must flash the AP file in FlashFire at the same time.
Notes:
* Do not use Package Disabler Pro if you choose NoNaMe mods in Aroma.
* If you are installing the S8 apps, you may run into force closes. Your best bet is to pull down on the notification panel, click the settings button, and go into applications and clear data for everything that is force closing. If you keep data, you may run into issues with Advanced Calling and other features. Keep data at your own risk. If you don’t wipe data, then please don’t post issues in the thread.
* I was able to keep my settings and data by choosing keep data in Aroma and still passed SafetyNet. I can’t guarantee that this will work for everyone, but you can try if you want. This probably will not work if you are coming from MM. If you decide to take this route and have issues, do a full wipe and reinstall before posting any problems.
* If you get constant application errors saying "IMS service has stopped" and "com.sec.epdg has stopped", boot into recovery using the Power+VolUp+Home combination. You will likely get a "No command" error screen. Let it on that screen (30-60 seconds) and it will eventually go into the recovery menu. Wipe data and cache in recovery. – thanks paul.miner

Thanks @DJ XtAzY for the Boot_Recovery image.
Does this ROM come with Google Pixel Dialer, Google Camera etc Google stuff in Aroma to choose from ?
I didn't install those options, but I believe they are there, along with some S8 app options as well. I've been running this for a week. It's silky smooth with great battery life. Every time I pick up my phone now I can't help thinking this is how our phones should be. I'm loving this ROM.
Here's the boot recovery file I created that should be added to the first post:

I also modified the updater_script so that the BS Free section of the script will remove more of Google Apps, such as Photos, Hangout, but I kept the Camera plugins and the Gallery's photo editor and video playback, etc. I also sorted that section of the script by alphabetical, it was a pain to see what the script removes and keep when everything is out of order when going through the list. If anyone's interested of that updater_script, let me know.

I added this to the second post. Thanks!
As for the updater_script, I planned to redo it to fix the gallery and video issues on the next version. I didn't want to upload an update with these fixes, then release one right after when the latest ROM is available with the new firmware, because that usually ends up being the case lol. I'd definitely be interested in looking at your script.
I feel like I'm going crazy here, any help would be appreciated. I downloaded everything and flashed all four files (BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC) with ODIN. The phone reboots into recovery and throws an error. I reboot into download mode and reflash HOME_CSC again. Then, it just gets stuck on the SAMSUNG screen. I've tried reflashing multiple times, and even let the phone sit for over an hour in case it was just taking a long time to boot. But I can't ever get it past the SAMSUNG screen. Any ideas?
@CVertigo1
I was able to install this ROM.
I noticed a very weird thing. In the attached screenshot, there is a small white tab at top of the screen in scroll area.
Why does it exist ? Can we hide it ?

Thanks a lot. I was able to hide it.
Another weird thing is, in the ROM control app, the button size is enlarged. Not sure why (attached).
I was using other ROM of yours earlier and in it the size was correct. Any thoughts?
Also, a word of caution during installation-
When I flashed everything from ODIN first and booted, the phone downloaded an update(OTA)
I accidentally said Update. It went ahead and installed it.
Booted back fine, was able to root, flashfire, aroma. After aroma however, it got stuck in boot animation. Rebooted it, got stuck and would not go ahead.
Needed to factory reset from recovery and start over.
Some of the cursors are a little awkward with the modded systemUI. You'll notice it everywhere, especially Google.

One more doubt-
How can we control settings of open source ad blocking ?
I think it is blocking 'Here Maps' App and I'd like to exclude this from blocking.
Thanks.

Some of the cursors are a little awkward with the modded systemUI. You'll notice it everywhere, especially Google.

Is there a plan to fix this ?
Is this more visible if we choose Google Play ROM version as opposed to debloat/verizon rom ?
I was using Verizon_TMO_Hybrid_Nougat_Rom and in this I think this cursor/gui awkwardness did not exist.
Thanks

Thanks.
One more doubt-
How can we control settings of open source ad blocking ?
I think it is blocking 'Here Maps' App and I'd like to exclude this from blocking.

I use Adguard, so I don't use the ad blocking in the ROM. I don't know how to help on that. Did you see post #2 about ad blocking? If I remember correctly, you can edit the file and use adb to push it, but I'm not certain.

That is really up to jrkruse if he fixes it in a later update. Switching ROM versions won't fix it. If it's a huge bother to you, then re-flash the ROM and don't choose the modded systemUI.
I am currently running Stang5litre Edition 5.0 s7 v3 MM ROM on an AT&T S7 Flat and I believe the ROM is based on the S7 Edge . I am trying to flash this ROM using the OP instructions and keep getting this error in Odin on Step 1. The phone never reboots, it just stays in recovery. Any suggestions?

Its cause this ROM is nougat based and for a strange reason you can't flash nougat roms directly on top of MM ones. The usual fix is to flash the stock firmware for your phone, try to get the OTA update for nougat, then follow the steps. Also just giving a fair warning you can't downgrade back down to MM after the nougat update so you wont be able to go back to Stang5litre until he updates that to nougat.

@CVertigo1
Hey I have a bit of a bug report. Was messing around with the settings in NNRomControl and finally got things the way I like it. I went to go restart the phone and when it booted back up System UI either Stopped or Crashed and didn't restart itself. Did a little testing and found that it was the System UI Tuner Mod. After enabling any of the settings and restarting the phone System UI would immediately crash on startup.

All aroma versions can be started with TWRP or similar. Only install proper system files if needed. Wipe not needed.
It´s made to install usefull apps like xposed or for recover system. It is not to get root or TWRP.
Just flash via twrp and choose needed app. If your system is working skip system files!!!
To install xposed first flash
android 7 sdk 24 // http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk24/arm64/xposed-v89-sdk24-arm64.zip or magisk sdk !!
android 6 sdk 23
Some useful apps inside aroma rom:
some xposed modul of my aroma file:
MTP as Default USB Connection
Led-control but better -->
Led blinker works well for me. To use power led as notification light (red/green) but only if blinker app is not activ
More xposed modul i use: AppsOps Re, CameraNotify, BootManager, CleanLockscreen, Marshmallow SD fix and the prevent running modul is powersafer
LightningWall I use as main wall. Af+ to switch between custom online permisson
Af+wall you can find premium versions of both walls #maybe not working 100% if both are in use
Roaming on national network? It can be fixed with https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-roaming-control-v1-0-t3267154 v19 fixed roaming issue no need modul at the moment.

A video of my aroma installer rom on API23 (Android 6.0)
https://youtu.be/zqyDmiqTdhc
Additional i like to suggest more apps to install yourself to your phones.
1. I use Whatscall, Dington, TalkU to make "free" phone call. You pay by watch ads. Whatscall is good to get fast free credits. TalkU and Dington are pretty similar. Autor is "our" phone manufactur Cheetah.
Benefit you can make real phone-call via wifi, safe expensive calls, etc.
If you have no playstore running you get less ads = less credits!
I use them since one year no problems. Me tested other "free" call/sms apps but did not find better once. Please no referal request!
2. shake2safety
Now i use it to enable emergency call by quickly press 4 times Power button. It can be enabled by shake also. That is a feature of new IOS as well as Samsung Galaxy. The benefit is you can automatic call even is screen is broken, eye or finger issue, else.
You can test your setup by automatic call friends number to prevent by mistake calling emergency
Only sms is working if not installed via playstore :/
** For location please keep your GPS on. When there is no Wi-Fi, GPS or mobile data then no location goes with the message/picture. Also it gives your last location if GPS is off.

So go and install that app!!! Alternative maybe SOS Stay Safe
Still no reply :/
However maybe not worse to have a 3 post contiguous (last -if no reply), to add details or infos.
You can replace shutaudio.mp3 at root floder system/media/
with attched silent once it increase free space in rom a littel. Play time is shorten so shutdown seems to be littel faster too.
Archiv contain a silent camera.ogg to replace them just rename the once you like to replace.
camera sound at system/media/audio/ui/
Here is a big silent system sound pack:
http://www.mediafire.com/?8pu3qv2ul7opn8z/
Not replace bootaudio.mp3 in v19. The mp3 worked on v14 but not with v19!!!
All my tests on replacement of bootaudio.mp3 in v19 end by bootloop. ( Guess same md5 hash is needed to replace! )
So if you can´t boot anymore run aroma installer and select install system media fix that.
1. edit:
Someone replaced gallery with old v02 version to get video preview back?
Not sure since when it is gone i believe since v14. or less?!
2. edit:
After a while i realize turbo download mode is not available in v19.
Turbo mode enables data transfer via wifi & cellular network at same time.
Can you please tell me how long first boot is meant to take please

If you just re-install less data e.g. boot / shot audio it´s fast as normal. If you are going to install all additional apps it maybe take some minutes. In case you do no install from slow external memory.
On Anroid 6 you can not reboot directly, hold power about 10-15 sec. till system (screen) full turn off and device reboots. Better choose power off device in twrp after finish aroma installation. :fingers-crossed:

This most likely happens if you:
- install exposed modul without flashing exposed sdk first.
- flashing sytemfiles ( increase by wronge firmware - aroma version)
- on android 6*: - if you reboot direct after installation ## or twrp screen off timer is set & reached * That is a bug of all our 6.0 twrp not a bug of rom
You can fix by:
- flash exposed sdk
- restore a twrp backup (guess you didn´t backup)
- flash proper systemfiles (check firmware i provide for most of them an aroma to restore system)
- flashing full stock rom via MTK tool = 100% fix
I found this topic today and will try it when I have time! For now, I've only changed the irritating boot sound!

I replaced the bootaudio.mp3 with yours shutaudio.mp3 and the system is booting normally (firmware v19)!
Ok idk why i always failed so maybe other user now also try. May i going to retry
Once again, only flash system app if you have no chance to recover.
Example:
I messed with contact app which may cann´t be recovered with aroma so contact crash by doing wrong. However it still works so i do not flash to repair that little bug.
Keep in mind xposed is tricky and maybe kind of risky to set, so make fresh trwp dump befor going to use "first time".
Hope u have fun with some additional apps.

Method I
Flash via TWRP recovery

- Connect ONLY your usb cable to your pc
- Click "Download"

try this:
1. clear data of all google and microg related apps (incl. the three backends)
2. in microg settings enable google device registration and setup the nlp backends
3. start playstore and log in to your google account (now the RH-01 error shows up, right?)
4. reboot
play store and all other google account related things should work now..

Somehow, mysteriously, I tried to reinstall the entire TWRP and it works !!! But Ikariam always stopped.
But I still solve the low volume of calls. Even though I have a full volume. How do you solve this problem?

hmm ok, then i don't know..
but there is a magisk module which fixes (or tries to fix) the low incall volume.
in the download section of magisk manager search for "Android Mic Fix".
it is actually targeting qualcomm hardware, but it might work for mtk too, so give it a try..
regarding your ikariam problem: enable google cloud messaging (gcm) in microg settings, then clear data of ikariam and restart the app.. should work now..

You have to install magisk again from magisk manager to use modules
Magisk consists of two parts:
1. Patched boot image
2. Some files in data Partition
Unfortunately I am not able to create a proper userdata image at the moment (I'm working on it)
Therefore the magisk files in data Partition are missing, when you flash the ROM.
Follow these steps:
1. Open magisk manager
2. Go to magisk settings
3. Choose update channel "beta"
4. Go back to magisk main screen
5. Click "install" -> "install" -> "direct install (recommended)"
6. Let installation finish
7. Reboot
Now you are able to use magisk modules.
You have to repeat these steps after every data wipe or factory reset to use modules.
BTW: have you activated Besloudness in sound settings?
And have you tried ikariam again? Is it working now?
Cheers

It is way better than on stock rom. There are a few build.prop tweaks which aim at battery life.
But the main factor is the microg replacement. I would guess, it saves at least 1/3 of battery life..
just give it a try!
btw: today I will post an update with some small, but important changes. so look out!
