Dear Owners,
Discontinued
In this post you can find a multilingual (mainly European) modified rom for the smartphone Lenovo A820.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
The newer phones do not work well with S138 or older kernel (no info about S147).
The sympthom is that the touch screen works on inappropriate way: after the first screenlock it does not work again.
For this reason it is highly recommended that update your kernel if you have got this issue.
The kernel changer to S150 zip can be run from modified recovery (CWM, TWRP, COT, Carliv, etc...).
Note that all the things in this thread you do with your phone can be dangerous. I cannot take responsibility for your phone damage.
So, do it at your own risk.
Before you do anything, I recommend you to save your current ROM (I would say it is mandatory!)
There are many ways to save and I highlight some (links will be added later):
1, for non-rooted phones:
- SP_Flashtool, readback option.
- CWM (or TWRP) backup, if it is available on your phone
2, for rooted phones:
- MTKDroidTools backup
- command line dd-backup
In order to install this ROM, you need to have CWM recovery on your phone.
If you have not got this recovery or you do not know which recovery you have got, you have to read post#3 before you do anything.
If you get error during the installation of the ROM, see post#4.
The restore option of the CWM rcovery is not as good as it could have been expected, so please read post#4 carefuly for CWM restoration issues, tricks.
Update: CWM 6.0.4.0 with S150 stock kernel.
Just to clarify the power-on modes:
Normal phone mode: press the power button
Meta mode: VOLUME DOWN + POWER
Factory mode: VOLUME UP + POWER
Recovery mode: VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP + POWER
Consider the warranty issues, you need to backup you rom.
In addition, I always suggest to do a backup before install any new ROM to your phone.
You can do it with CWM recovery in backup menu.
About installation in general.
Pre-requisites: CWM recovery menu installed on your phone. (This ROM can be installed from CWM recovery.)
The ROM file must be saved on your physical SD card.
Enter into CWM recovery.
In CWM recovery you can go up/down with the volume up/down keys. The “enter” is the power button.
Choose the “install zip from SD card” menu item.
Choose the “choose zip from SD card” menu item.
Select the rom you want to install.
Choose “OK” in the menu item.
If you need a detailed explanation of its use, see the tutorial : http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/02/complete-guide-to-clockworkmod-recovery.html
Right after the ROM installation has been finished, you can install gapps as well, before restart.
Windorws driver installation:
Please do not ask me about it. I use mainly Linux, which is more friendly.
What I did in XP under Virtualbox was:
Downloaded the Lenovo drivers from here: <link>
Manually added the com ports in control panel.
MOD CP4.0
V1
The modified rom has got the stock kernel - Lenovo A820_ydss_S135_130403
This completely changes your phone appearance, your Lenovo UI will be disappeared.
Also Lenovo applications are not integrated to this rom.
It will look like the stock Jelly Bean.
Main features:
-The firmware is rooted.
-Boot logo, boot/shutdown animations and sounds are changed to Lenovo.
-Minimalist appearance and content, for this reason you have to install google applications manually, from CWM recovery <link>. After gapps installation everything works well (many people wants to have mainly Google Play. It do work.)
-Slide unlock.
-Multilingual. For supported languages, see the screenshots.
-The default language/region is Hungarian, but you can easily choose your one.
Known bugs:
- I found was that the charging logo with turned off phone is not proper.
-the camera does not work adequately in video-camera mode.
-the default setting in some of the application is V987.
V2
The modified rom has got the stock kernel - Lenovo A820_S135_130403
The camera was changed to a non-multilingual one. It looked that the black screen in camcorder mode solved.
But after googleapps something went wrong... black screen again.
V3
The modified rom has got the stock kernel - Lenovo A820_S135_130403
In V3 there is not any significant changes (camera app was changed back to the multilingual one), but I modified the gapps, which caused the camcorder issue.
So, for this modified rom you need to use this gapps.
V3 download link: CP4.0-by-cappa72-v3 - dropbox
or
CP4.0-by-cappa72-v3 - 4shared
Bug: Still, the camera has got green lines in the case of playback.
CP4.1
V1
The kernel has changed to A820_YDSS_S130_130324.
The camera application does not generate green bands in playback.
The default language was set to English, default time zone was set to London.
CP4.1-by-cappa72-v1
You can use the googleapps mentioned for CP4.0-v3
CP4.2
V1
The kernel has changed to A820_S138_130419
CP4.2-by-cappa72-v1

There is no default ringtone set! Right after the installation you have to set the ringtone, message alert and so on... otherwise your phone will not play sound...
Important feature!
If you have already repartitioned with the script, you can simply install this ROM, it will recognise that the repartition had been done; and you do not have to run "disable internal SD card" script from CWM.
But please note that this function is onyl available with the repartition script; with Meteos rom editor repartitioning this function is not available.
Right after the installatio, there is not any sound set. Nor the ringtone, nor the message an alert. So, you have to set it first.
Available on mediafire : Link
md5sum: 86e241fcac6faf4fa6baf0f9cc4a18a0
Additional possibility:Change of FM radio
The FM radio can be changed back to Lenovo’s one with this script. It was requested by some people due to the fact that Lenovo’s FM radio can work without connecting the earphone.
The link is here. http://data.hu/get/6494163/FM-radio-change.zip
You can install it from CWM recovery, with the same method that you used during the installation of the ROM. This script does not affect any other part of the ROM, but the FM radio.
Repartition
Please DO NOT USE IT for Lenovo-based ROMs. Sometimes it can cause bootloop or other inconvenience.
The repartition of internal memory of the Lenovo A820 phone has been solved already.
With this action youd intednal SD card will be disappeared and will be added to the /data partition.
Before you do anything, make a CWM backup, and save all your data from internal SD card!
The easiest way is to use this CWM script, if you want to have the maximum available size (2,7GB) for the /data partition.
You have to install it from CWM recovery.
After the installation you need to do a factory reset.
After the factory reset, you have to disable your internal SD card, with CWM script.
And then, you can reboot your phone to check if yo have got the new size of /data partition:
settings --> storage
"internal data storage; full capacity 2,7GB"
"internal SD card; full capacity <your physical SD card capacity"
If the above data appear, you have successfully repartitioned you phone's internal memory!
If you want to have your data back, go into CWM recovery, and choose
backup and restore --> advanced restore --> <choose your save> --> Restore data
And then, your data are available again, after the reboot.
Please do not use it, if you do not want to have the 2,7GB of /data partition!
For Lenovo-based ROMs you need to use Meteos-apk for repartition of A820.
Internal/external SD card exchanger
If you want to use your physical SD card as the default one, and still want to use your emmc-SD card (aka internal SD card by default), you can change it by this CWM script.
Important link in summary:
The driver what works is here.
The original stock recovery is here
The autoroot package can be found here.
The preferred CWM is here.
The root script is here, you can install is from CMW, and your phone will be rooted.
The usable Flashtool is here.
The scattel file for Flashtool is here.

CWM recovery
Installing CWM on your phone
You need to install proper drivers to your computer.
Available (ported) CWM recoveries:
With newest kernel:
CWM recovery 6.0.1.2 - S150 - ported from [email protected] ZTE V970 recovery.
CWM recovery 6.0.4.0 - S150 - ported from [email protected] ZTE V967S recovery.
CWM recovery 6.0.1.2 - S138 - ported from [email protected] ZTE V970 recovery.
CWM recovery 6.0.1.2 - S135 - ported from [email protected] ZTE V970 recovery.
Option 1, with SP Flashtool
Download the SP_Flashtool software to your computer. Extract it to a directory, where you want to run it from.
Download the scatter file, which you will need if you want to use SP_Flashtool.
Download the CWM
(5.5.0.4, 6.0.1.2, 6.0.2.8; it is your decision)
Run the SP_Flashtool.
Browse your scatter file.
Choose only the recovery.
Tick the “DA DL all with checksum” (you can find it close to the download button). It is a really important point!
If your phone is connected, let’s disconnect it from the computer.
Turn off your phone. Take the battery out from your phone for 5 sec. Insert the battery to you phone. Keep it still turned off.
In the flashtool press the Download button.
Choose OK to the warning message.
Connect your phone to the computer.
The flashtool will flash the recovery into your phone.
When the green circle appears, wait for 5-10 secs, and the unplug your phone.
If everything went well, you can enter into the recovery menu (see 1st post, power-on modes)
Option 2, on rooted phone, with MobileUncleTools.
Install MobileUncletools 2.8.x or higher from the Play Store.
Save one of the CWM I linked to the root directory of your physical SD card.
- select menuitem Recovery Update. The program will list the available recovery images.
- choose the one, what you want to install
- It asks back: "Are you sure flash recovery!" - Use recovery file: <name of the recovery what you choose previously>. Tap to OK.
- After the flashing process it offers you to reboot into recovery. If you tap OK, it will automatically reboot your phone to recovery. If you tap cancel, you can use your phone as a phone.
- Before you tap to "reboot to recovery", I suggest you to wait approx. 5-10sec.
Use of the CWM.
If you enter into the CWM (6.x.x.x) recovery, the following buttons can be used:
- Power button : “enter”
- Volume down : step down in the menu
- Volume up : step up in the menu
- Soft key “option”: step down in the menu
- Soft key “back” : step back in the menu
In 5.x.x.x you cannot use soft keys, but the physical buttons works on the same way as in the case of 6.x.x.x
CWM restoration
I experienced failures in restoration of the CWM backup.
This was a real surprise for me because I have not faced this issue with other MTK phones.
So, the issue is that the CWM restoration does not work immediately.
In details:
-I saved the stock rom by CWM 6.0.1.2 (CWM was complied by Bruno, and I modified it for A820)
-For checking the restore function, I did a factory reset: the phone stopped working.
-I did the CWM restoration, but still the phone stopped at the boot animation. And stayed it for 15min. I removed the battery then.
In order to solve the issue, the following method was done:
-In the advanced restore I choose the restore /system (only!)
-After restoring the /system I turned off the phone took the battery out, waited 5 secs, inserted the battery back.
-Turning on the phone it worked again with the restored data, BUT the internal SD card was injured! I formatted the internal SD card – with this action I lost all my data that were saved on the internal SD card.
So, please be careful using it! Save your internal SD card data before the CWM restoration!
This was experience in case of all the available CWM (5.5.0.4, 6.0.1.2, 6.0.2.8).
Installation issues
Post#4 troubleshooting
If you cannot install the ROM by an error:
Code:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.model") == "Lenovo A820"
E:Error in /sdcard/Lenovo-a820-update-CP4.0-v1.zip (status 7)
This is a safety feature, not a bug.
This error message is a warning that you have not got the proper CWM. (Most of the available CWMs are based on ZTE, STAR phones and contain improper model description.
My CWMs contain the proper one, I modified them, so you need to install a CWM I mod for Lenovo A820.
In this case you have to update your CWM to a ported one that I did.
Great!
I would love an multi lingual rom, but for now I just want to root it. (ones it gets delivered that is)
Are there tools specific for this device to root is with out flashing?
Checking out your rom in the meantime. :fingers-crossed:

If you have got CWM recovery on your phone (or a chinese one that has got "xx SD yyy ZIP" menuitem), then you can use root-zip, installing it from CWM recovery.
Thanks
Thanks
Where are the screenshots?
please add some screenshots.

I tried to upload some, but the server was down that time.
I will try it again tomorrow.
Thanks for this rom, I flashed it succesfull on the Lenovo A820, it also takes away that terrible skin from Lenovo.
Gapps link
Thnak you for your ROM. I tried it for a couple of hours and there some minor problems that I don´t know if there are rom related.
1. There is no link to the gapps, so I downloaded a random one and I have errors with google search.
2. The videocam record with a green band on one side.
3. The gps is slow, doesn´t pick satellites easily.
4. If you choose automatic time the it always consider that you´re in china. If you choose manually your timezone then it is ok.
Overall it is a very well-done rom and I would keep it for daily use.
Thanks
1. Are you sure you downloaded the Gapps for Android 4.1.x? You should have this gapps version: gapps-jb-20121011-signed, this the right version you should flash. I first flashed the rom and after that the gapps.
I have reproduced your issue and you need to update the Google search app in the playstore, after that the errors are gone.
2. I have reproduced what you reported, I want to try if I can grab the original camera app from Lenovo and see if it still has the issue, but I don't think its a big problem, I bought the phone for someone else, but this issue is not to big, I don't suppose people often record with an smartphone and this rom at least got Dutch in, the original phone firmware was bloated with China Unicom bloatware, Lenovo skin and had no Dutch support.
3. Try GPSfix, ussualy this kinda works, but the MT6577 chip was know for having GPS problems, perhaps its the same with MT6589? But there are many apps out there that can help you fix it.
I think this in a great rom, Lenovo is a big brand in China, so many will choose Lenovo and with this rom you get rid off the terrible lephone skin, I mentioned this rom in my review about this phone
Oh here you got some screenshots.
Feel free to use them in the OP.
Don't know about you but I do use my device a lot for video recording.
I think it is imperative that all basic functions work flawlessly.
The custom rom's with android 4.2 also have an video bug at this time, which is a bit unacceptable.
I'm sure it will be sorted out :victory:
Well yes, but having fully Dutch support is better, you can always flash new update off the custom rom when it get fixed. I only recorded a few time video with my own smartphone.

1, I have added the link.
2, Thanks for the feedback, it is really useful to know. The playback contains the green band, the file itself does not.
I changed the kernel to the '130'-one, and now it works with the camera application, and the playback is also correct.
3, You shall try the EPO / A-GPS support for getting it better. Or thy DexterMorganNL's suggestion.
4, I have never faced this issue, but in the new version I set the default time zone to London.
The new one is available, you can see it in the first post.

Thank you for your time. I will try the new version. But, why have you used an older kernel?
By the way, with version 3 I also had some problems with the gyroscope when playing Real Racing 3.
Great work
Its great you released the update so fast, you brought us really good work. I think new owner off this phone is going be thankful, they requested me to buy a phone for them while I'm in China, and when I got it it was not fully Dutch supported, had the terrible skin.
So its great have this phone, because this way I can deliver it without the Chinese bloatware and with full Dutch language and ofcourse Google apps.
EDIT
The newest release gives me a black screen after I boot it up after having it flashed, so I have reverted back to your previous release.
OK. I'm ready to weep.
I've previously had a ROM from NeedRom on my A820.
I'd like to give Cappa's ROM a try, but when I try to install from CWM Recovery I hit the Error outlined in Post 4.
I then follow the advice of Post 3... But there are no links to A820-compatible CWM Recovery installations. I found one on a hungarian site linked to Cappa, but all I get is a .img file and no idea how to get that on to my phone.
Can anyone post detailed instructions, or send me to a page (in English) where I can find instructions on how to get the ball rolling so I can use Cappa's ROM?
Thanks.
Google is my friend. Yes. But Google Translate isn't.

Update, I think I sorted it...
Bit of imagination (and could have totally done the wrong thing, but it seems to be making progress...)
I decided to take a known ROM install that I've tested and that works, which has a recovery.img included, and I renamed the recovery.img to recovery_bak. I then renamed my 'new' CWMRecovery image to recovery.img and dumped it in the directory with the ROM data that I got off NeedRom. I loaded up SPFlashTool and loaded the scatter file from that ROM, then deselected every component except 'recovery' and flashed it.
End result is that I have a phone which recovery-boots to the version 6 cappa-modded CWMR which I found on the Hungarian site, and in turn that CWMR has just installed both the required ZIP updates outlined in Post 1, and Cappa's ROM is now sat on my second A820 awaiting setting up...
I hope I did the right thing, and this won't come back to bite me in the ass later... The newer recovery.img was slightly larger than the old one, but I'm assuming that the scatter file isn't about storing specific pieces of the ROM in specific places based on exact size of file, and thus perhaps all things will continue to work swimmingly.

New Menu Layout
Tar + Gzip Backup Compression : ( "Backup/Restore" -> "Default Backup Format" )
Your Backups will be smaller now, just like on the old native CWM
Removed "wipe all" option from wipe menu ( if you need to wipe system, use "format system" from "mounts/storage")
Rearanged menu order in root menu to restore CWM order
There's now an "nvram backup/restore" menu in "carliv" section
The nvram partition will be backed up in clockworkmod/backup folder as nvram.img. This will help if you lose IMEI and other communication features. It will work only if you have the nvram partition of size 0x500000 (check your scatter) and if you have the nvram defined as /dev/nvram path in recovery.fstab. If the nvram partition is damaged (as in flashing an oversized recovery) this will not help you, and you need SPFlashTools to reflash with format your phone official firmware, and after that flash this recovery, boot in recovery and restore nvram.
some other small changes.

Hi
You guys are all crazy with the MTK leaked sources, but do you even have an clue what those sources are?
You cant just compile an source that's customize for other phone , thinking it will work on yours.
There's a lot of work to be done, and you need an huge amount of luck to have your phone drivers available in that source.
This said, I will appreciate that people avoid off-topic and other phones talk in this thread.
This ROM and recovery will only work on wiko darkmoon and Micromax a200 (clone).
If your using this ROM as a base for another MT6582 phone, please be an gentlemen and give proper credits.

Do you know by any chance if there is any option to add languages to this rom? Wiko doesn't include many languages. I can use locale2 from google play, but that only translates some of the functions.

Hi
Yes i know, when i made a MIUI rom for my old ZTE v970, i had an hard time trying to find the proper strings for your language.
Even on stock roms from big brands, its very rare to find support for that language.
Im trying to merge and revise some strings from various sources, maybe in an future version.

Great, that would be awsome.
As for rarity of my language, I find it quite well supported. Google Nexus has it, all Samsungs have it, so does HTC, Sony... I know Prestigio and Gsmart have it. CM also. It's not a big deal, but nevertheless - I wouldn't mind having it
Great ROM btw, very customizable.

The good:
I managed to Build an UNOFFICIAL Lewa Rom for our device, currently fixing the lastest issues and adding multi-language support.
So since im currently working on this language strings, might as well use that work for this rom also.

Furtherwards the files i'm providing were downloaded from the original sources including Sammobile. (wich sometime get their links unavailable). They are EXACTLY the same as their source and are intended to be kept that way.
[WARNING]
By proceeding with the following tutorial you aknowledge that i will not be held responsible if your device gets bricked or gets any other sort of damage.
Although the intent of this tutorial is to help people out and have the most for their devices. Just proceed accordingly.
Always Remember to:
- Make a Backup of your EFS;
- Never mess up with ODIN checkboxes;
- Never Unplug your device whenever it is flashing;
- Have ClockWork Mod Recovery (or TWRP Recovery) so you don't end up without knowing how to restore your device;
- Read all the steps carefully.
TUTORIAL
[BEFORE PROCEDING]
Note: If you Miss your device Drivers Please Install Samsung Kies First.
1. [BACKUP YOUR EFS FOLDER]
For Best Results Create a EFS Backup as: *tar / *.tar.gz / *.img / and a direct copy of the EFS Folder.
Thread on how to Backup and Restore your EFS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329937
Note: There are some application at Google Play that can also do it for You. (i.e: Galaxy SL Unlock or GSII_Repair, etc)
2. [BACKUP YOUR SD CARD]
Formatting your External SDCard is important, but not required.
Therefore you may not perform a Backup but removing SDCard before Flashing is advised.
[FLASHING THE ROM]
Note: This guide refers methods for "ClockWork Mod Recovery" (CWM)
1) Remove your SDCard (if you've not done it already)
2) Reboot Into CWM or TWRP Recovery (If you don't have it search for the Proper Recovery for your Device)
Booting into "Recovery"
(Press and Hold) Vol. Up + Home Button + Power Button (Release after the 1st Logo is Shown)
3) Under CWM Recovery Select under the following Menus:
<"Main Menu"> :: "Wipe Cache Partition"
<"Advanced"> :: "Wipe Dalvik Cache" (then return to 1st Menu)
<"Mounts and Storage"> :: "Format Cache"
<"Mounts and Storage"> :: "Format Data"
<"Mounts and Storage"> :: "Format System"
<"Mounts and Storage"> :: "Format DataData"
<"Mounts and Storage"> :: "Format SDCard"
<"Mounts and Storage"> :: "Format EMMC"
4) Return to Main Menu and Perform a "Factory Reset".
5) Remove USB Cable and Reboot your device into "Download Mode".
Booting into "Download Mode"
(Press and Hold) Vol. Down + Home Button + Power Button (Release only when it Loads under "Download Mode")
6) Open Odin
7) [ODIN] Under [PIT / OPS] Load your "*.pit" File (i.e: "latona_20110114.pit")
8) Restart Your Device. Once You Get the "Black Screen", Remove the Battery and Boot into CWM.
9) [ODIN] Load Rom Files
Note:If you come from other a Custom Rom, you may have to Flash Original Firmware 1st.
Note: Always Double Check if you're Loading the Files (Bootloader, PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC) in the proper Place.
Note: While the operation is running Do NOT Remove your USB Cable or Disconnect Your Battery untill you see the "PASS!" message on the top left corner.
Note: To prevent Flash Failures; always use High Quality USB Cables; and before pressing Start Put down your device and don't touch it untill the operation is complete!
You may check Loaded Files example bellow (for Full DDLF2 ROM).
i.e:
[BootLoader]: "APBOOT_I9003DDLF2_CL1153545_REV08_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
[PDA]: "CODE_I9003DDLF2_CL1153545_REV08_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
[Phone]: "MODEM_I9003DDLE1_REV_00_CL1149304.tar.md5"
[CSC]: "GT-I9003-MULTI-CSC-ODDLF2_RST.tar.md5"
10) [ODIN]
Note a) If you come from Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean or KitKat (Custom) Roms; it is advised to select "Re-Partition" Checkbox.
Note b) Make sure you have not Selected/de-Selected any Checkboxes (except the one refered at "a" above).
Never change anything if you don't have no idea what they are for.
Specially "Phone EFS Clear". This will literally kill the ability to use your device as a Phone.
Also note that Only a Box or Samsung Service can restore your IMEI if this ("Phone EFS Clear") happens to be Selected.
11) Now that you've Double Checked Everything put Down your Device, Press "Start" and Read the Next Step.
12) When your device completes the procedure above, wait for it to load the 2nd Boot Logo (Usually Animated).
Note that the device may load automatically under recovery to Access, Install and Configure CSC.
If it doesn't then: once the 2nd Logo Starts, count to 3, remove your Battery and Boot your Device under Recovery (Not CWM at the Moment - Reason found Bellow).
This will make sure that the CSC is Installed and Properly Configured (Except if there are any issues with your device, or if you've skipped any of the operations mentioned above).
Note: If you've Flashed Stock Firmware: Know that after you Flash Stock Firmware You lose "ClockWork Mod Recovery". Therefore you must flash it again.
So let's Flash CWM with CF-Root and Custom Kernel (ClockWork Mod Recovery; with Root Permissions and Custom Kernel).
[FLASHING CWM, CUSTOM KERNEL AND ROOT THE DEVICE] (1 File Steps)
1) Remove USB Cable; Power Off your Device and Boot into "Download Mode".
2) Connect your USB Cable, Reset Odin Settings and Under ["PDA"] Load the Following File: "PDA_BCK_CF-root_universal_beta15rc8.tar"
Thread for PDA_BCK_CF-Root_universal: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355675
3) Put Down your Device and Press Start.
4) Once Completed you now have (A rooted Device with Custom Kernel and CWM Recovery).
Your device shall Reboot into CWM Recovery; if it doesn't Reboot it into Recovery and Perform a Factory Reset Again.
Just to clarify: By Performing this "Factory Reset" (Again) you prevent some Errors like:
- Phone Lagging (Specially While Sliding Between Application Pages)
- Getting some configs from previous flashing
Although some sort of lagging will always be present sometimes.
Remember that this is not an ICS, JB or KK Rom nor LoLaTiOn GingerBread that runs ultra fast!
Those Roms are freaking Good (besides some bugs here and there) and i could only recommend them if you use your phone in a "Always Connected to Charger" State.
i.e: your Car as a Multi Functional Stereo; Mp3 Player; GPS and Phone.
Still You will Kill for sure your Battery! (Eventually... Mine Got Fat! Too Much Fast Food (i mean Fast Roms! =) )
P.S: No disrespect for their work wich i apreciate so much. (I'm sure you understand what i mean)
[REMOVING BLOATWARE] [Deodexing] (ONLY For DDLF2)
There are some different ways to accomplish this.
I'm pointing 2 easiest ways, since i didn't get into Deodexing (for Experts) myself.
Remember: This Deodexing tutorial is only for DDLF2 ROM !!! (Wich i USe by the way)
1st Method:
Download "DeleteUnwantApp_Cwm-New.zip" copy to your SDCard and Flash Under CWM Recovery.
This will delete some pre-selected applications. Maybe the safest method for completely inexperienced people.
2nd Method:
1) Copy "Deodex_DDLF2_Cwm.zip" to your SDCard
2) Boot your Device into Recovery (You can now use CWM Application to do it)
Note: Within the application you can boot either to Recovery or Download Mode.
3) Under CWM Recovery Select: Flash ZIP from SDCard; Go to the Folder where you've previously copied "Deodex_DDLF2_Cwm.zip"
Select it and flash it.
4) After it completes the operation, reboot your device and Install "ES File Explorer". (Found on Google Play)
Note: Or just open your favourite File Explorer. Although i made this tutorial for specific applications. (Including "ES File Explorer")
Reason: The applications i mentioned don't give me issues... (Errors or Bugs), and they are extremely usefull somehow and/or fast (with the lowest resource consumption as possible).
5) On the Top Left Corner you have a "List" Button.
- Enable: "Root Explorer" and press that Label Text to pop-up some extra options.
- Select: Mount R/W
- Set "/system" as RW (After you remove undesired applications Place it back under RO)
Note:
"RW" Stands for: "Re-Writable"
"RO" Stands for: "Read Only"
6) Go back to the "List" Button and Select "Library" > "APP"
7) On the Top Click where you see "User Apps", and select: "System Apps"
8) Remove the Applications that you don't use.
Note that not everything can or shall be removed! Some are part of the system itself.
Best thing to do is to note down the application names that you dont like.
Here's a List of some Applications you can Safely Remove:
- Google Maps;
- Talk;
- Gmail (Email Apk);
- Layar;
- Calculator;
- Samsung Apps;
- ThinkFree Office;
- *Youtube;
Note: I wouldnt remove "youtube" if you will youse it later. If you remove it and try to install Youtube from the Market (at least with DDLF2 Rom) the system will Crash on Minimize Video and Reboot.
Other Custom ROMs by some unknown reason run YouTube Perfectly.
9) Removing Several System Applications at Once:
- Press and Hold one of the Applications you want to remove (This will Enable Multiple Selection);
- Then Select the others;
- Press the Garbage Bin on the Bottom ("Uninstall")
- Confirm that you wish to Uninstall and Wait for the Application to Complete.
- Skip Errors / Force Close(s)
Note: It is possible that the device Restarts during this operation.
If so, re-check the application you want to Uninstall.
10) Once Completed Restore "/system" to Read Only ("RO").
On the Top Left Corner you have a "List" Button.
- Go to: Tools.
- You may leave Root Explorer Option Enabled if you prefer that way.
- Press "Root Explorer" Label Text to pop-up the extra options.
- Select: Mount R/W
- Set "/system" as RO
11) Done! ...or if you want to go further into perfecting...
12) The following steps are not necessary... Personally i do them anyway just to ensure the system will Work Properly without the Applications i've Removed.
- Reboot Under CWM and Perform a "Factory Reset"
- Reboot to System and Test Everything.
[PREPARING YOUR SYSTEM FOR EVERYDAY USE] + [INSTALLING RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS] + [TWEAKING THE DEVICE]
"Some Information" ("Installing Tweaking Applications")
Like mentioned before this tutorial aims for a balance between Performance and Battery Duration.
As some of you already know Gingerbread is amazing for Battery Duration, although it's not the fastest Rom and unfortunly it has also a terrible Task Manager.
Therefore i'm including some applications to tweak your device so you can achieve the balance that you can't find in any other Custom Rom.
i.e: Cyanogen based Roms who Consumes a Lot of battery.
"Applications List" ("Installing Tweaking Applications")
Im not going to talk about every single one as this tutorial aims mostly for Performance and Battery Duration.
Bellow you'll find a brief description of some things you can do with the following applications.
- "CPU Master Pro" (Not Free - Unfortunely) or Similar Application that can set CPU Frequency Profiles like (Charging; Screen Off; In Call; Low Battery and Temperature Over-Heat)
- "SGS Tools" (Mostly for advanced users) This application can Remove Boot Sounds; and fix your GPS Location so it locates faster. Has also a ".prop" Editor, and some aditional advanced features in there! Just Freaking usefull!
- "Twilight" (Screen Dimmer) (Red Light Dimmer; with Profiling Options. Very Good and Free Application)
- "Busybox" or "Busybox X" (Not 100% necessary, but Recommended. Some applications require their installation)
- "ES File Explorer" (For me the Best File Explorer. Fast; Usefull; Visually Pleaseant)
- "Task Manager" (To Improve your device Performance. Your device seems not to reboot anymore when it uses all ammout of RAM. You simply won't let it happen!)
- "Nemus Launcher" (Fast Fast Launcher! With low Resource Consuption)
- "XDA Free" (Your Favourite Forum Application! Where you can rate and thank this thread wich gave me some hours of work; post your questions (read Forum Rules 1st is Important); ask for support; make new buddies; etc...)
"Setting Up Applications"
CPU Master Pro: (Paid)
Ok this will be "al gusto" (configured the way you prefer), but i'm going to point some of my own tips.
If you want to do further research follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767797
If you want to take a shotcut...
Then here's some resumed info. (So you can manage your profiles perfectly).
:["Scalings"]:
"Scalings" manage the CPU Behaviour.
Therefore they will help you get the most performance and battery duration.
There are several scalings (including custom Scalings), but i'm going to point out the one's who can really make some havoc and productive effect for the everyday user.
["Smartass v2"]: Is the balance between Battery Duration and Performance.
["Performance"]: Gets the most response as possible.
["Conservative"]: Usefull whenever you need to use your device for longer periods, and/or when you don't have a charger nearby for a long time.
"Setting up CPU Master Pro" Profiles
Open the app Go to Profiles Tab:
The Profiles bellow are the ones who can save some severe battery duration.
Set these profiles "Screen Off" and "In Call"
"Screen Off"
Min Freq: 300 Mhz
Max Freq: 300 Mhz
Scaling: "Conservative" or "Smartass v2"
Note: If you need your device to wake up faster change Max Freq. to: 600 or 800 Mhz.
Both work pretty well, they just differ on battery duration and wake up response.
"In Call"
Min. Freq.: 600 Mhz
Max. Freq.: 600 Mhz
Note: If you go Bellow 600Mhz you may end up in making a longer phone call since your device wont respont so fast. (Usually Lagging)
- Memmory Manager (JRummy) (Partially Free)
- Open the Application and set it to "Moderate" (Higher Values can Crash the System).
- Set it to "Apply on Boot"
Note: The after this i never had the "Full Ram Bug (Crash and Restart) issue anymore."
Note: This application has more usefull features although under the paid version only.
Either way you will notice a better performance just by changing to Moderate.
[OTHER] Script to Increase Battery Duration
Info: This thread bellow will something similar to the CPU Master Pro Profiles.
If you cannot find a better solution for CPU Master Pro Application, then you might want to try this. (Follow the thread link bellow)

hi rgxHost,
i help my wife to upgrade to XXLE4 (Straight from Froyo) and stuck without rooting the phone (flashed but with wifi error).
she encounters video playback problem (not as smooth as Froyo, some ugly scene transitions).
i want to go back to Froyo, but could not find any installation files anymore (all dead links).
i guess i will try to mess with DDLF2.
Thanks for the guide.
Hello,
Im very sorry for repplying just now.
Within so many threads, I completely lost track on this one.
Links from Sammobile are usually dead, but if you ask them they make the links alive for you.
Froyo is not what you're Looking for due to compatibilities. (Applications, Performance, Bugs, etc).
for Performance:
DDLF2 Properly Tweaked, will give you tons of battery duration, device performance, but lacking the use of newer applications.
Custom Rom will do the Opposite. If you go for a Custom Rom.
Go for Nameless Rom. But make a variety of "efs" Backups. To prevent imei losses.
If you Experience YouTube crashes on DDLF2:
1) Root your device;
2) Install ES File Explorer;
3) Under the menu Click, "Root Explorer"; and make "/" and "system" re-writable. ("rw").
4) Go to the Following Path:
/system/framework or /system/apps
5) Long Press YouTube Icon (So you can select: "Uninstall"). Fully Uninstall YouTube (All Installdd Versions).
6) Set the File Explorerto Read Only Again and Restart the Device.
7) Install YouTube from Google Play and You are Good to Go.
Note:
If you still have issues there's a slight chance that your Custom Kernel could be causing such Issue.
Simply Flash a Different Custom Kernel for your Device. (i9003)
ok successfully flashed without CSC (DDLF2) 'cause i was not able to extract CSC file.
ROM works very good. I think it is faster then CM11 I had before.
is there any sense to flash XWKPG or XXKPE? what for? I have my native language on DDLF2 and Region settings so..
could You give me some piece of theory?
Thanks hitten to the OP!
---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------
one more question..
Is it necessary to deodex this rom to gain ability to remove bloatware?
I didn't do so on the other devices before (they were newer ones) - only root and Solid Explorer with root rights.

FIRST, IF YOU AREN'T ROOTED YET, THIS WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO ROOT YOUR SM-G9350/9300:
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING YOU MUST INSTALL S6-CROM.APK, IT WILL ALLOW THE BOOTLOADER TO BE UNLOCKED ON OUR DEVICE:
Download the attached CROM SERVICE apk at the end of this post.
AND THEN: GOTO SETTINGS: ABOUT DEVICE, SOFTWARE INFO, TAP ON BUILD SEVERAL TIMES TO ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTIONS, GOTO SETTINGS: DEVELOPER OPTIONS AND TOGGLE OEM UNLOCK TO ON. ALSO BE SURE YOU HAVE THE SAMSUNG USB DRIVERS ON YOUR PC:
http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117#none
THEN YOU CAN FLASH OUR ROOT.
OREO ROOT + TOXIC OVERCLOCKED KERNEL (BIGS=2.6G LITTLES=1.9G GPU=675M):
If you don't care about having Encrypted Data, you can just flash TOXIC_ROOT+OVERCLOCK_KERNEL_v99.zip in TWRP onto the latest Oreo firmware, and you'll be rooted, with Magisk, Overclocked.
To correctly format DATA and install without encryption:
Steps:
1) Make sure you're updated to the latest stock OREO, and download my TOXIC_ROOT+OVERCLOCK_KERNEL_v99.zip to your external SD Card.
If you're not on the latest firmware, and you want to use mine (CRJ1):
Download Odin v3.13.1 here, and Firmware CRJ1: BL/AP/CP/CSC files: download here ), flash this firmware in Odin v3.13.1 (open Odin v3.13.1, connect device, reboot into Download Mode: reboot, hold Home/Power/Vol Down, then press Vol Up to confirm. (make sure you have samsung usb drivers installed),load BL/AP/CP/CSC and press start).
Allow device to fully boot, then select your language, skip google sign in and skip samsung sign in, get to where it tells you you're all done and you're on the home screen.
2) Boot into Download mode (reboot, hold Home/Power/Vol Down, then press Vol Up to confirm.) Connect Device.
3) Download Odin v 3.12.3 here -and TWRP.tar here, open the TWRP.tar in the AP in Odin v3.12.3 and press START THEN BOOT DIRECTLY INTO TWRP BY HOLDING POWER/HOME/VOLUME UP!
4)FORMAT DATA in TWRP, then press back and INSTALL TOXIC_ROOT+OVERCLOCK_KERNEL.zip from external SD. NOTE: THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR INTERNAL DATA, INCLUDING MEDIA, PICTURES, ETC! THIS IS NECESSARY TO UN-ENCRYPT THE DATA PARTITION! SO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR INTERNAL SD!
5) Reboot. It might take a while on first boot.
Now you can restore your DATA in TWRP if you have a DATA backup.
Enjoy
TOXIC_ROOT+OVERCLOCK_KERNEL installs Magisk root v18 for you, adds Toxic Boot screen, raises max volume for music and media (and phone), and has a few other small optimizations.
ToxicKernel Overclocked to: Bigs 2.6Ghz Littles 1.9Ghz GPU 675, and Quickcharge 3 support added. Big cores default governor = conservative; Little cores default governor = interactive, core Thermal control disabled. Lightening fast with little drain on battery

For non-root options or the manual root method:
OREO TOXIC OVERCLOCKED KERNEL (BIGS=2.5G LITTLES=1.8G):
Just flash this zip in TWRP:
ToxicKernel.zip
Uses your current Ramdisk, so if you're rooted, it'll keep your root. If you're not rooted, you still won't be
Control the frequencies with Kernel Adiutor, I set mine for daily use on Conservative Governor, but go Interactive if you want that OC power!
Frequency info:
2496mHz big cores 1824mHz little cores, GPU 650mHz, 300mHz added to all CPU cores for lighter daily useage.
Or for MORE Power:

OREO TOXIC ROM CRJ1 BASED ON OFFICIAL:
This is a bit of a convoluted way to get root on the new Samsung Binary, but it's perfect. It runs the most up to date odexed (fast) official rom, with boot rooted with Magisk. This method fully passes safety-net.
I've included stock OREO CRJ1 because in my experience Samsung sometimes releases their final firmware (which is possibly CRJ2) with terrible battery life (maybe to get us to buy new phone..)
NOTE: YOU NEED TO FLASH TOXICKERNEL AFTER THE FOLLOWING ROOT METHOD.
Steps:
1) Boot device into download mode (restart and hold POWER/HOME/VOLUME DOWN, then VOL UP to confirm once it's at blue screen). Flash via Odin 3.13.1 [get this ODIN here] - BL/AP/CP/CSC files: download here , unzip to get to the files, load the BL, AP, CP and HOME_CSC files into Odin with phone connected (make sure you have samsung usb drivers installed) and press START. Let device fully boot, skip google/samsung sign in's just get to where the phone has started fully.
2) Boot device into download mode (restart and hold POWER/HOME/VOLUME DOWN, then VOL UP to confirm once it's at blue screen). Flash boot.tar with odin 3.13.1, download boot.tar here
3) Boot device into download mode (restart and hold POWER/HOME/VOLUME DOWN, then VOL UP to confirm once it's at blue screen). Flash via Odin 3.12.3 [get this ODIN here] - TWRP.tar Just download the Odin 3.12.3 (unzip it) and the TWRP.tar [get this TWRP.tar here], open the TWRP.tar in the AP in Odin, connect your device (make sure you have samsung usb drivers installed), and press START THEN BOOT DIRECTLY INTO TWRP BY HOLDING POWER/HOME/VOLUME UP!
4) In TWRP, Mount System, then Advanced: File Manager - rename recoverybackupboot.p to recoverybackupboot.bak, and if there is a 'fixcontents' file, delete it. Then finally, FORMAT DATA in TWRP.
5) Still in TWRP, install no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip [get that file here], then go back and install Magisk-v17.1.zip [get that file here]
6) Boot system, and install MagiskManager.apk [get that here], as well as ESRootExplorer.apk [here], then open Magisk Manager, say yes for it to do it's environment setups, and when it's done, open ESRootExplorer, tap the settings at top left and enable ROOT, then edit /system/build.prop scroll down to bottom you will see ro.config.tima=1, change it to ro.config.tima=0 , then edit /system/vendor/etc/fstab.qcom and scroll down.. DELETE ",forceencrypt=footer,quota" delete exactly what is in the quotations, including the comma at the beginning.
7) Reboot to TWRP (reboot then hold POWER/HOME/VOL UP), FORMAT DATA AGAIN! now at this point you can restore your old Android N or O DATA backup in TWRP, just restore DATA partition ONLY!
8) Reboot system, and reinstall the MagiskManager.apk again, let magisk to it's environment setup again, and that's it!
DONE!
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL XPOSED OR XPOSED MAGISK MODULE, AS IT WILL CAUSE RANDOM REBOOTS!
I'm working on an Overclocked Kernel but have to wait for samsung to release the CRJ1 source, so we'll have OC and built in wakeblocks soon
If phone turns black after reboot, hard reset (hold power/home/vol up/vol down for 10 seconds) and all should reboot fine.
Why two ODIN's? Not sure, but one can only flash the BL/AP/CP... and the other can only flash twrp, go figure..
That's it! Enjoy!
If you happen to not be locked into OREO binary 3 and wish to explore older Android Versions, see:
THIS IS THE FASTEST AND MOST EFFICIENT ROM FOR THE SM-G9350/9300 S7 AND EDGE SNAPDRAGON VARIANT:
TOXIC 8.0 - BEST ROM FOR OUR DEVICE:
TOXIC 8.0 - 7.0.X.1.C is a conglomeration of the best parts of Android 7.0 and 8.0, it's based off the 7.0 framework-res, with the best features of 8.0, resulting in the fastest, longest battery lasting ROM for the SM-G9350/9300:
Use Odin to flash these BL and CP:

Then download and install the rom ZIP through TWRP:
YOU CAN DIRTY FLASH THIS OVER LAST TOXIC ROM:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904005851DO NOT CONNECT TO WIFI ON FIRST BOOT, TURN OFF AUTO UPDATE IN GALAXY APPS, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP FULL SCREEN ALWAYS ON DISPLAY CLOCK BACKGROUNDS.
Overclocked ToxicKernel (OVERCLOCKED TO 2496MhZ BIGS 1826MhZ LITTLES):
KERNEL ZIP Oct-27-2018 :
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410932744536991420
Download and install the ToxicKernelOVERCLOCKED.zip (flash via TWRP) and reboot, easy as that. When Toxic Overclock Extreme is turned off (in ToxicSettings App) it's set to Efficient Mode, with GPU governor=powersave, Big cores governor=zzmoove (version 70X1C), this lets the phone run nicely with over a days battery with heavy useage, 0.01% / hr battery drain per on doze. To turn on Overclock, goto TOXIC SETTINGS and enable the "enhanced settings: Toxic Overclock Extreme", then click the button to reboot, and enjoy your new perfect overclocked ROM. Toxic Overclock Extreme is set to interactive governor on all cores.
Kernel blocks safe wakelocks, and you can add further kernel wakelock blocks manually.
FOR MORE INFO ON WAKELOCKS AND GETTING INSANELY GOOD BATTERY LIFE, READ:
KERNEL WAKELOCKS:
Kernel blocks safe wakelocks, and you can add/remove further kernel wakelock blocks by editing /system/etc/init.sec.boot.sh (just open in root file editor), you will see at the bottom: echo 'IPA_WS;wlan_txfl_wake;wlan_rx_wake;wlan_scan_wake;wlan_pm_wake;wlan_ctrl_wake;mmc0_detect;alarmtimer;PowerManagerService.Broadcasts;PowerManagerService.Display;radio-interface;doze-wakelock;smdcntl0;alarm;mbhc_wake_lock' > /sys/class/misc/toxic_wakelock_blocker/wakelock_blocker
Simply add/remove names of wakelocks within the single quotes, separated by semicolons, these are the user controlled blocked kernel wakelocks. The current setup after flashing toxicKernelOverclocked makes battery life a lot better, and is the maximum number of wakelocks that I could disable with no impact.
SYSTEM WAKELOCKS:
The best way to block TOXIC rom System wakelocks is with Amplify (paid version), but paid or not, just install Xposed, then Amplify (activate the module), and download then my Amplify shared_prefs file, open with a Root File Text editor, copy contents and paste into /data/data/com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce/shared_prefs/com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce_preferences.xml :
File: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904026904
And a note about DOZE: install Greenify and Activate in Xposed, then enable AGGRESSIVE DOZE and DOZE ON THE GO in settings. This will allow Doze to work while phone is moving or in your pocket.
These tips I mentioned above, along with ToxicKernelOverclocked, will give you the most amazing battery life possible, 0.0% drain on standby
NOTE: ROM is in efficient mode by default, and in my opinion, keeping it in efficiency mode is great for normal useage. I only use OC for gaming
Frequency info:
2496mHz big cores 1824mHz little cores, GPU 650mHz, 300mHz added to all CPU cores for lighter daily useage.
The overclock is built for the S7-Edge version, if you like you can install on the S7 flat and see if it works, let me know if it does!
Toxic ROM Features:
Customized Toxic Settings (nav bar, button, battery, and every other kind of mod); full screen AOD with clock and Toxic backgrounds ; optimized battery life; optimized performance. etc etc etc.
And since Oreo is the LAST Android version that will be released for this device, this is THE best ROM for it. Forever.
Notes:
XPOSED: Install N 7.0 version of xposed, as the Rom has N framework-res.
NOTE ABOUT BOOT QMG: If you don't like the TOXIC Rom boot animation, you can download the zip "StockBootQMGs.zip" HERE and move those three files into your SYSTEM/MEDIA/ on your device, replacing the files you have there.
NOTE ABOUT ADAWAY: If AdAway can't save to hosts file, dowload AdAway systemless hosts v2 zip attached below and flash in recovery.
And for those inclined, the ALWAYS ON DISPLAY images are very easy to mod, just take your /system/priv-app/AOD_Service/..apk, to your desktop pc, open the apk with winzip or most any archiver, DON'T UNZIP IT, just navigate to the /res/drawable-xxxhdpi-v4/ folder and edit the corresponding aod_image_01...02...03 etc png's, or the aod_wallpaper_01..02.. etc png's, then also edit the previews for them in /res/drawable-xxhdpi-v4/ folder, simply drag out the png images, edit them in photoshop or any png editor, then save them with the same name and drag back into the open winzip/archive (remember DON'T UNZIP!) ..there you go! Enjoy
Kernel Source:
Github: https://github.com/davecotefilm/S7-Edge-sd820-Overclock
ROM Source:
The rom is a mix of the official China and Hong Kong Samsung firmware (as this is the China/Hong Kong Variant of the S7-Edge, and also the only Snapdragon variant with an unlockable bootloader), touchwiz, with some custom black apps added, and the most efficient and powerful parts of Android N and O.
If you are interested in rooting your current ROM, or Marshmallow, Stock, beta Oreo, etc.. see below:
If you want pure 8.0, 7.0 or 6.0 ... follow the other root options for MM, N, OreoBeta... :
ROOT YOUR CURRENT ROM:
1) FLASH TWRP IN ODIN (LOAD TWRP AS ''AP'' IN ODIN, TWRP AND ODIN CAN BE DOWNLOADED ABOVE) - ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE BY REBOOTING YOUR DEVICE THEN HOLDING THE HOME/POWER/VOL DOWN BUTTONS, THEN ON BLUE SCREEN CONNECT TO USB/PC AND PRESS VOL UP.
2) BOOT INTO TWRP, FORMAT DATA (YES YOU WILL LOSE ALL PERSONAL DATA), THEN FLASH (INSTALL) SUPERUSER (SU) ZIP THROUGH TWRP (HOLD HOME/POWER/VOL UP DURING REBOOT TO ENTER RECOVERY):
SUPERUSER ZIP:

ENJOY
ANDROID 8.0 OREO (G9350 EDGE ONLY!) XPOSED HAS BEEN RELEASED AS BETA FOR OREO AND WORKS ON THIS ROM!!
(this is a complicated setup, not for the faint of heart)
Notes: this is BETA, and the bootloader is beta, so it will allow you to go back to Nougat or Marshmallow, but I've heard some talk with other devices that once they release the OFFICIAL OREO, the BOOTLOADER may not let you go back! So I suggest you play with this beta FIRST, and make sure you REALLY LIKE IT, before upgrading to OFFICIAL OREO!!! For example, Oreo (well, at least in beta) system crashes when you delete most any system app (I've debloated as much as I think I can, any more and it just won't boot). Also, there are new priv-app permission rules, so if the permission profile isn't in the ROM, then that app can't be in priv-app (such as Google Play, go figure..)
So, BE WARNED: IT'S POSSIBLE THAT ONCE WE UPGRADE TO OFFICIAL OREO, WE ARE STUCK WITH IT, AND MODDING WILL BE DIFFICULT!!!
Okay, here we go:
Steps:
1) PREPARE THE BOOTLOADER FOR OREO:
A) FLASH Official QL3 firmware for our device, flash BL, AP, CP, CSC with Odin3 v3.12 from this download:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850504357
B) Let system boot fully, then FLASH TWRP with Odin from this download:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657594560
C) Install from External SD: RC3, then RC4 (ro.secure==0 or ro.secure==1, depending on what your device is):
Here's for ro.secure=1:
RC3 (flash through twrp):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754471788
then flash RC4 twrp:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569965451and if that doesn't work, then do this for ro.secure=0:
RC3 (flash in twrp):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754471789
then flash RC4 twrp:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850504356D) FLASH boot(RC2), it's modified boot that allows for root: with Odin:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754471790 then Boot system and wait for apps to update/install2) INSTALL ROOTED ROM:
A) Make sure you have a backup in TWRP for your current NOUGAT (and for best results, hopefully it's TOXIC ROM Nougat, but I'm 99% sure it'll work with any other.) Now, WIPE/FORMAT DATA in recovery, then also do Advanced Wipe to clear dalvik, systam, data and cache.
B) Download this deodexed, debloated, pre-rooted, optimized version of Oreo for our device (TOXIC OREO ROM), it basically just mods some things that allow root and play store to work properly, along with some wicked customizations : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510001
C) Restore your NOUGAT backups DATA and CACHE only. I REPEAT, DATA AND CACHE ONLY!
D) DIRTY FLASH ROM NORMA OREO V1 it in TWRP, I REPEAT: DIRTY FLASH! BECAUSE A CLEAN INSTALL HAD SOME OF MY APPS BUGGING OUT!
E) go ahead and install XPOSED with the latest xposed installer apk, install it through the system, not in recovery.3) FLASH this CP file in ODIN, to fix the Black/Dark Red Selfie Camera Problem (seems the problem returned in Oreo) : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657598886
4) DO NOT UPDATE SUPERUSER BINARY!!! If you do, bootloop and back to reflashing!!!
That's it. You will have fully functioning OREO
Thank you hilary trump for all the bits and parts of the OREO BOOTLOADER, and for advise !!!
And thank you xmanz for (accidentally) figuring that dirty flashing over a restored backup was the trick to get apps stable and everything working smoothly !!!

hello friends
my phone has the latest twrp, the latest magisk installed
I flashed this kernel in twrp. but the phone went into booting loop. is there anyone who can help me by explaining how to do it step by step? i am a little novice in rom vs flaslama
Also twrp does not see the internal memory. So I downloaded the kernel zip on to sd card and installed it that way.Is that why the phone went into a booting loop?
Thanks man! Much appreciated. Will give it a try when I have more time.

lol I dont have a U.S variant, I was smart enough to get exynos.
Some questions:
1. I've read on chinese websites that some cameras go red, can you clarify what this is?
2. Does the hong kong variant come with warranty, or doesn't come with warranty like the international variant?
3. Is installing the aurora rom a better choice than installing a USA rom? (I want to use carrier-only features).

1. this was the initial root. it has since been fixed.
2. not sure. I purchased mine in China, and am now in canada. I've tripped knox, so there's no warranty anyways.
3. The aurora is just the best available rom available right now. until we get more development on the 820 cpu. It installs a perfectly working TWRP, and root. There is some chinese to deal with, but the stability and battery is great.

1. Where are the Chinese here and there that you say are at? I need to know if it's somewhere important or not.
2. Is the battery life improved or worsened by the ROM? Great isn't really clear.
3. What are the most useful features in Aurora ROM?
4. If it's based on a Chinese ROM, not Hong Kong, I'd rather flash USA T-Mobile ROM instead. So is it based on ZCU or ZHU ROM?

The chinese is in the shutdown menu when rebooting but it's also in English. There's a chinese lunar date in the status bar that can be removed in xposed. The Aurora special rom settings are chinese, but that doesn't effect phone at all and I use another phones Google translate camera if i want to use it. Battery is same or better than stock. The advantage is root / xposed and all the things that come with that

Just thought I'd put a bit here about making headphones louder on the sm-g9350 and any sd820 S7:

The analog gain, "HPHL/R Volume" is already maxed out at 20. You can safely raise the various "Digital Volume" entries by 8 dB to 84 without adding any distortion. Beyond 84 (likely up to 124!)

Use another device with Google Translate app and decipher the Aurora Settings app on your S7, use the Translate Camera to highlight text to read it, then Enable the Google Bundle.

2) BACKUP DATA
Install Samsung USB drivers (you unzipped earlier).
Then plug phone to PC in File transfer mode.
Collect all .jpg or .mp4
Use Google built-in cloud to backup apps like SMS Backup & Restore to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Backup your WhatsApp messages in Google Drive.
Everything else: podcasts, Authenticators, TODOs etc...
Then copy the backup on your PC.
Make sure you have latest official updates for your phone:
Connect to Wifi and go to Settings > About device > Software update > Update now
### BACKUP NOW, you will lose everything.
3) FLASH TWRP 3.7 RECOVERY
Go to Settings > About phone> Software information.
Tap 7 times on Build number item to unlock Developer options.
Go to Settings > Developer options, switch OEM unlock ON and Confirm.
Shutdown phone.
Boot in Download Mode: hold Home + Power + Volume- until you see blue-green Warning screen and release buttons.
Confirm access to Download mode by pressing Volume+.
Phone now displays "Downloading..., Do not turn off target".
Connect phone in USB, wait for drivers installation.
Then launch Odin.exe (included in my archive) and wait for Odin indicator ID:COM to become blue.
In options: Verify re-partition and Auto Reboot are NOT ticked while F. Reset Time is ticked.
In AP > select twrp-3.6.2_9-0-hero2lte.img.tar
### Same recovery for Korean models (G930S/K/L variants)
### Warranty will be Void after next click ###
Click Start.
Wait until flash Success message appears.
Unplug phone.
Restart phone to recovery :
- hold Power + Home + Volume- until phone screen becomes black...
- and immediatly switch from Volume- to Volume+ (still holding Power + Home) and hold until Samsung's logo is displayed to land in TWRP recovery.
### If Android launches, hold 3 buttons until phone restarts and Samsung logo appears.
4) BACKUP IMEI PARTITION AND SYSTEM (Nandroid backup)
(Boot in Recovery Mode: Hold Home + Power + Volume+ until you see Samsung's logo then release and wait a few seconds for TWRP recovery to boot)
Recovery asks for Keep System Read Only ? > Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Go to Wipe > Format Data.
Type: yes and confirm with bottom right check icon.
Encryption is removed. You can now access partitions.
### If you miss this step you won't have access to any partition.
Back to home menu > Backup.
You can now select the partitions you want to save.
Select at least EFS partition to backup your IMEI. If a flash fails and partition is damaged you will still be able to restore this partition and use the phone.
If IMEI is lost during a flash, phone won't be able to reach cellphone networks.
I prefer to backup Boot, System, Baseband and EFS partitions. In case of problem, you will have your phone in its original state.
Swipe to Backup and wait during process.
Go to Home screen and continue with next chapter.
Save backup: still under TWRP recovery, connect phone to PC.
Go to Mount menu and check Data partition is checked and MTB button is on "Disable MTP" state.
From Windows explorer, access phones memory and copy-paste the TWRP folder (located in root folder, beside DCIM and Music folders) somewhere safe on your computer.
5) FORMAT PARTITIONS
### Make sure you copied TWRP backup from internal memory to somewhere safe.
Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (if you really made a backup at step 2), then Swipe to Wipe.
Back to TWRP home screen, go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
On next launch, check the checkbox to remember choice and swipe to allow modifications.
6) FLASH ROM, (MAGISK ROOT) AND GAPPS
Back to TWRP main menu, go to Mount menu again to connect phone to PC again.
Connect phone to PC and use Windows explorer to copy files on phone's internal memory.
Copy TWRP folder from your phone to somewhere safe on PC.
This backup can restore your phone to its original Samsung state.
Copy files of ROM + BitGApps + Magisk on phone.
Go back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install > choose lineage*.zip,
Optional for root: Add More zips > Magisk*.zip
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
Go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
After restart, go to Install, select bitgapps*.zip and swipe to flash.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System and on Install TWRP App? menu, tap on button Do Not Install
Wait for the phone to boot during 5 minutes.
7) ROOT ACCESS
Configure Android as you like.
Don't try to set fingerprints at first setup. It will crash.
No need for extra work to be root.
Magisk launches with Android.
Superuser permissions can be managed from Magisk Manager app.
8) TWEAKS
- Calibrate battery: https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Battery_Calibration
- Set dark Mode to improve battery by 30%
Settings > Display > Dark theme.
- For better battery, remove Always on display
Settings > Display > Lock screen > Ambient display
- Activate Developer options
Go to Settings > About.
At bottom, tap 7 times on Build number. You activated Developer options.
Go to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer options.
- Change screen definition for low GPU/CPU usage: from 1440x2560 to 1080x1920
You need developer options to enable USB debugging.
Open a terminal where adb.exe from my pack is located.
Plug phone and Authorize USB debugging.
Then type:
Code:
adb shell wm size 1080x1920 && adb shell wm density 400
// Defaults 1440x2560 and 504
- Screen sensitivity is too low ?

- Reboot recovery
- Flash rom
- Reboot recovery
- Flash BitGApps
Enjoy
Force Samsung Galaxy S7 restart
Hold Power + Volume down for 10-20 seconds
Thanks for the detailed instructions.
Please fix two minor typos: In the Odin instructions, the files should be hero2lte* not herolte*.
Re Magisk: 24.0, I suppose, should be used / upgraded to. (I've run into issues with 24.2 on another platform.)

Hi, you are correct and I'll fix glitch.
For Magisk, as you report bugs, I'll wait to move to 24.x. You can create an Issue here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues

Flash ROM
Reboot to recovery
Flash BitGapps
Reboot
I solved problem.
I installed older version TWRP with Odin and new version
hey @djibe89 & other XDA folks, thanks for these steps.
I have a SMG935W8 and currently borked on the BiTGApps step. All proceeded smoothly until there and now I'm seeing an error on TWRP and I'm not really sure how to resolve it.
It's complaining that the install config is not found and that it's an unsupported Android SDK version, which doesn't seem quite right.
Any tips would be highly appreciated
Judging from my deep dive, the current LineageOS 19.1 builds are SDK 32, and the BiTGapps builds only support up to 31... Definitely looking for tips, still.
Going to try this post's GApps
Hi, for now, stick to latest LOS 19 build: https://github.com/ivanmeler/ota_provider/releases/tag/herolte_lineage-19.0_1646935359, not 19.1
Or could you try NikGapps and tell us?
Thanks @djibe89 ! I went with NikGapps and that was a win.
It might be good to edit the top post to say 19.0 or have the NikGapps linked in it, for future readers.
Phone's working great. I appreciate it!

Hi, I'll update it.
I hoped a newer BitGapps update would be released by now.

Hey again!
Been daily driving this for a bit and here's a laundry list of the issues I see, in no order at all.
I'm not sure if they're Lineage issues or artifacts of being an "unsupported" Lineage build.
1. The screen just stays on despite the power save settings (I've tried 15s, 30s, you name it) if I'm on the home screen. Trebuchet, is it?
It's like it has some keep alive function a la YouTube. It's not 100% but it seems far more than 50% of the time that I have to manually lock the device. Anyone know if I've just configured something wrong or if this is how the launcher is supposed to work?
2. Phone services will not stop demanding my location, no matter what I configure. It's every few minutes and it's creeping me out a ton. Why is it so nosey?
3. The call audio quality is still barely usable. While I *can* have intelligible business conversations when required, they suffer the quality noticeably and are terribly robotic and tinny. For personal calls, I tried to play it off once but immediately was laughed out of the call: they asked before even a "how are you" could pass if we could switch to VoIP since it was so comically bad. After some kind tips from Ivan I tried mucking with the mixer levels to no avail. They did seem a bit "low" compared to the 18.1/19.0 values, so I pumped them in a couple places (NB volume from 22 to 32, call default volume on 917 from 98 to 164 -- I have no clue what any of these mean). It might be louder now? It's not worth an A/B test to confirm what should be the expectation, but my point is that it didn't fix the robotic, tinny quality.
4. Banking app complains of the device being rooted, but it isn't. "Great." I hear the latest Zygisk might fix? I haven't tried yet.
Now, I'm still excited to be on 12L! I'm trying to buff my ability to dev on this ROM and fix up some of these issues, as I really don't think this phone needs to be replaced yet, but being stuck on stock Oreo isn't working either, so I say let's hack this thing till it's stable as stock!
Hi @Bujiraso , thanks for sharing.
Didn't use it on a daily basis
Have you tried another launcher ?
I think bank apps detect custom ROM, nothing can be done. Hope I'm wrong. Some genius of signature spoofing can pass this I believe. But I'm not.

Hi, sadly no.
9350 and 9300 have Snapdragon SOCs, not Exynos.
Only Android 8 ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-snapdragon-roms-kernels.5975/
Oh, ok. And is there any good custom rom for the SM-G9350 model?

No.
This happens with Qualcomm proprietary SOCs
