MotoSense v0.51 patch (see top of post)
WIPE YOUR PHONE BEFORE ANY FULL IMAGE IS INSTALLED! (Recovery menu - factory reset)
If you don't you might get constant reboots with the M logo
INSTALLATION:
Use G.O.T Recovery / Open Recovery to install this rom.
Currently require you to install a 2.36 stock rom, before you install this one.
Radio Band Requirements for different countries
Some countries require the original 3G files of your current ROM to work ie.
Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Germany and some others countries uses a different band for 3G. If u dont backup the 4 original 3G Files and restore it over this nandroid once installed u gonna have poor signal, sms problems and HSDPA loss (even if u set apn and get conection its gonna be crappy one).
Files should be in the /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ of your phone.
This can be done using OpenRecovery and a adb shell.
You might check this thread , if a update-nosign.zip file exists for your model. which makes it easier for you to install.
Filenames are:

- Reloading of Rosie (HTC Launcer)
Reason for not fixing it is that Motorola Milestone simply do not have enough memory for HTC SenseUI to run stable with only 256MB.
the launcher is very memory hungry for all its plugins and graphics.. so sorry, no fix, unless you add 256MB more memory to your phone.
- Bluetooth headset

OLD REVISION DATA DELETED, OBSOLETE and not worth writing anymore
WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if
you brick your phone.. Image has been tested on a UK milestone and works fine if all files in ADB recovery image is used.
woah, nice work buddy. just got a question, if i apply this rom to my North American Milestone, do i lose the ability to access 3g/hspa network from rogers?
is gps working
i got one guy on IRC from Canada(im from europe, so im not sure on networks you got overthere), he tried it, and it works fine for him
You should try to only flash the system+data image of it, as the cust.img contains telephone info, which might be what you need to keep.
GPS is not working atm..
im new to the motodroids , will this work on the motorola droid or just the milestone ? ive had the droid eris so im not sure if there is a difference between the droid and milestone, sorry for the dumb question,

Porting is no easy task, when its not about development, and zeusdroid actually do have some customized wireless driver.
But i managed to use the existings drivers from Milestone..
And im probably not going to do programming to make the port perfect, as that not so easy, although i got some experience.. but none within driver programming.
im really happy with the progress dext3r, this is awesome.
just curious, any ETA for GPS fix?

if you know your way on a few linux commands,
then you're welcome to make it work yourself.
1 . copy the /system/lib/libgps.so from the original milestone 2.36.0 image.
2. flash motosense image.
3. mount /system
and copy libgps.so into the flashed image into /system/lib
and GPS works after a reboot.. So fixed!
of course all done from adb shell.

10.1 for 2.1 senseui roms are not real, it just looks like 10.1,
but the flashlite already reports that number.
and yes, flashlite works fine. tested on a few flash websites.
I have a Telus Milestone and I will consider trying this ROM at some point.
Just to crosspost from the other thread... in another thread I was told the following. Could be useful for keeping 3G.
DAGr8 said:
cmstlist , there is an easy way to retain your baseband just flash the HK sbf , then , copy paste these files and make sure you set the permissions correctly .
Probably safest to do via adb if you dont make sure you reboot ...
for the 3G baseband Hack/Swistch it 5 files from /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
File_Audio , File_Audio2 , File_GSM , File_Seem_Flex_Tables , generic_pds_init

So perhaps if you want to try Motosense on your Telus Milestone, then you should backup these 5 files (and take note of the permissions) before flashing the nandroid image. Then afterwards if 3G doesn't work on the Motosense image, restore the same 5 files.
Ok I wasn't able to flash only certain parts of the nandroid backup so what I did was make 1) a full nandroid backup of the Thai firmware (leaked from GOT) on my Telus Milestone unlocked for Fido, 2) a partial nandroid backup using the options --backup --nodata --nocache --nosystem
Then 3) I flashed all of the motosense backup. Trying a first boot. Will report on whether my NAM 3G is gone.
All I get after the M boot logo is a black screen, followed by a force close notification for system. Nothing else comes up. Long-press Home and I get no recent applications. Oh wait - spoke to soon! Wow, just got the HTC lock screen. Unlocked and now I have the setup screen. Asks me to insert SIM to place calls as if I don't have one inserted. My only option seems to be to press "Skip". Okay, home screen loading up now after the tutorial.
So yeah it's not seeing any phone service and I get "Unable to start Wi-Fi". I'm going to try a second reboot. This time the Droid eye shows up promptly (BTW this is very odd to see because Milestones don't usually have that animation). The phone boots up considerably faster than on the Motorlola firmware. *This* time, I do see cell service. In fact I just got a text message. Wait it just dropped again.
Trying to search for network operators. None showing. Strange! It does see wifi though this time. As the OP implied, DHCP not coming through. Meanwhile my Fido service just came back... VERY weak. Dropped again. Normally both EDGE and 3G are quite strong at my apartment so it's odd. Is it possible this ROM has weaker RF somehow?
Ok trying to set up the APN. Noticing the keyboard doesn't light up. APN set up but still no service. Reboot #3: Yes, wifi works now. Mobile network still very weak. Briefly connected to mobile data and it was EDGE. Test phone call fades in and out. Maps manages to wifi-geolocate me.
Alright, so I'm obviously having connectivity problems and only getting 2G. Let's try flashing back the partial I took from the Thai firmware. To be continued next post.
Okay! Flashed back my partial backup from Thai 2.1. Rebooting. Droid eye comes up, glares at me a couple times, back to the homescreen. Connects to Fido. Disconnects, connects again. I am still connected via EDGE, not UMTS. I try going to *#*#4636#*#* and selecting WCDMA only - no dice.
Alright well this has been fun. But obviously I need my phone service to work so this ROM is not for me. Despite having dutifully pasted the info up above about the 5 files to backup... I neglected to do so. So it's back to the full nandroid of my Thai firmware. But one thing for sure, Sense is very pretty!
Before doing this, I made one attempt to install Superuser.apk using the app installer, and then to install Root Explorer. Root Explorer was unable to get root. Maybe if I installed Superuser via OpenRecovery it'd be happier.
Okay back to normal. Goodbye for now Sense!
Backup restored successfully. I used Root Explorer to back up the 5 files in question to SD. Then I restored MotoSense one more time, and before even booting it up the first time I applied root from OpenRecovery. This time it booted much faster. (Is there any way the stock ROM can be hacked to boot this fast? Wow.)
Again, wifi fails to start on boot #1; succeeds but no DHCP on boot #2; works on boot #3. Signed into my Google account and installed Root Explorer (previously purchased). This time Superuser pops up like it should and we're in. I entered Airplane mode. I pasted in the 5 backed up files from the Thai firmware to /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default after mounting read/write. Then I made sure to fix the permissions. Rebooted without exiting airplane mode.
After reboot I disabled airplane mode. Hey, FULL SIGNAL BARS! I did it. But now it's telling me unable to start wi-fi. Let me add in the APN next. Done.
YES! The little H pops up. I'm getting 3G data! But as soon as the icon pops up, it drops out again. In any case I know I'm connected to UMTS because my cell tower ID in Maps > More > About is 1957869 which is my local UMTS tower. Test phone call is *much* clearer and signal isn't dropping anymore. One more reboot.
On the next reboot, wifi is back. Upon disabling it, the lovely "H" shows up and then flits down to "3G". Testing in browser... hmm nope. Something still missing, don't know what. One more reboot, trying again. Internet works on wifi, but not on HSPA (even though the 3G/H icon comes up).
Sanity check: Dialed *#*#4636#*#*, Phone information. Run ping test.
Ping IpAddr: Fail: IP addr unreachable
Ping Hostname (www.google.com): Fail: Host unreachable
One more sanity check: Switched to GSM only, verified in Maps>About that it's connected to a 2G cell ID (57322). Full signal bars, good call quality. So swapping the files improved both 2G and 3G voice performance.
Since I had a bit more success with this approach, I'm saving a backup for future reference, and on my rare moments of idle time I'll play with it again. But back to stock for now.
It has been a while since I published the screenshot of gingerbread on TC970. Now you can flash it on your toy. But remember: I am not responsible on any damages it might cause although I have fully test it on my own.

Dude, you rock! Thanks SO much for this! I know there's gonna be a lot of happy TC970 users this morning!
cool man )
Great job cas....and thanks to chinabull and fv too. I know i appreciate all the hard work
Excellent stuff! Once audio/camera is working, I'll be sending that cash your way!
Thank you so much for the hard work, cas_xp, fv+, chinabull - you all rock. Done what L:e Pan/Matsunichi won't for us users.
Appreciated, thank you!
Does a *jig*. I know lots and lots of people will be happy about this cas! Great work man
Installed, worked well and I had never used CWM until now. First impressions:
- It is really pretty, smooth and fast. I like it, everyone will love it.
- Most serious issue for me atm is storage, we can't mount the SD yet, so I can't even take some screenshots.
Hopefully soon, and now the Beta is out, other people can test and maybe suggest fixes for what is missing.
Great upgrade for the stock OS. Thumbs up.
This is epic! Well done to all who contributed! and thank you for your time!
We have some screen snapshots, for people who are curious to see what it looks like - it's very pretty.
Click and see them here: desktop 1, desktop 2, system info - all snapshots courtesy of Bigtech113 at another forum.
Thanks, dev team.
Thank you very much! Once the audio issue is fixed, I will jump in this upgrade!
Congratulations cas_xp!!!!!
This is a major milestone!
Thanks a million!
Awesome Job!
I would try the beta but I have to have a fully functioning tablet. I just can't wait till all the kinks are worked out so I can rock the Gingerbread, it's gonna be sweet.
Well ****. I managed to get it stuck in a boot loop. I backed up Froyo with the CWM that was distributed first (the one that was upside down). Then I flashed on Gingerbread, and it worked fine. But I was just doing it to test, and I went to restore Froyo and got an error pertaining to the md5 checksum, or something like that. I figured I'd just restart into Gingerbread, but ya now it just shows "Le Pan" vibrates, turns off and repeats. Tried holding down the reset button and holding power/volume down to boot into recovery and no dice. I guess I'll try running down the battery now, but bleh idk what to do.
You can get it back. Get a sd with stock image, hold volume up button, reset, select download mode, flash.

Ya, working on it now. Waiting for it to charge up to 60% so it will let me apply the firmware. Luckily I have 2 Le Pans in this house (haven't messed with the second one at all), so I'm using it to mess with my SD card and stuff.
Upside down.
Everything seems to be work just fine, but the screen is upside down. I tried to change rotating settings in cyanogen menu and in screen menu with no luck.

You need to go into the build.prop and then you will find rotation settings in there. I believe you need it set at 90.

HELP --- SOLVED SEE BELOW
So after backing up with the provided CWM and flashing the update I am no stuck in a boot loop.
After the tablet started up completely the first time I logged onto my WiFi and entered my Google stuff then decided I would reboot it. So I held down the power button then selected reboot, and then selected again. Then pressed ok and it has not gotten past CM7 boot screen.
I tried getting back to CWM, no luck. Wouldn't load.
So I take out the SD card and put the default install files on it.
Attempt to flash the original OS and no luck, it wouldn't load. So now i am sitting here.
Any ideas please help, I use this for my books for class, and not don't really have my books for class.
=====================================================
If you are caught in a bootloop after on the TC970 and can't get to recovery go to my post here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22329152&postcount=23
This is my first port ever so any advice, feedback is appreciated.
I'm not a developer, I just want to learn and I found that doing this port was not too difficult. So if anyone feels like helping me out learn about porting, etc then feel free to contact me.
I decided to open this thread for better support and faster feedback as I'm planing to keep it as up to date, bug free as my skills and time permit.
Well the official website for the rom is LewaOS
Credit: Thanks to xj220gt, for his initial port that got my interest, to the CM team since I'm using their roms as a base, and to whoever else credit is due.

How to install:
1-) Make a nandroid backup of most recent working rom. Also use titaniumbackup or similar to backup your data
2-) Wipe clean all partitions
3-) Flash the new Rom
4-) Flash GAPPS
5-) Flash your kernel (optional)
6-) Boot up
7-) Restore your apps, be mindful when restoring settings.
I know this might be a lot of work, but that is the safest way I have found to keep my data as I have lots of apps. Also You must keep your sd card files intact for this to work.
After first boot, do the initial setup, fix permissions and reboot. That is all.
What is working: Everything.
What is not working: As far as I know no issues.

How to add support for old or new baseband?
I have been asked what did I do to get the latest nightly to support the old baseband so I will just put it here.
To add support for the new baseband just get these 4 files from here.
Then You will open your rom file or just add the files to the following locations replacing old files:
1-)nvddk_audiofx_core.axf to /system/bin/nvddk_audiofx_core.axf
2-)nvrm_daemon to /system/bin/nvrm_daemon
3-)libnvddk_audiofx.so to /system/lib/libnvddk_audiofx.so
4-)libnvmm_audio.so to /system/lib/libnvmm_audio.so
This has only been tested to work with GB
If you want to provide support for the old baseband instead of the new one then just do the same, but get the files from a rom that supports the old baseband, I recommend CM7.2 RC2, it is the same process.

How to unbrick-upgrade or/and downgrade baseband.
Okay the first thing is to go to stock (rooted) 2.3.3 this will work for unbriking and everything. G2X_V21E_00_NVFlash The original thread can be found here.
This is good in case you brick or want to upgrade, you go to a lower version so LG tool let you upgrade.
Code:

After that, I recommend to firmware device with help programms KDZ or LG Mobile Update[/QUOTE]
Now we need to download the kdz files.
The V21Y_00 update (LG T-Mobile branded Android 2.3.4) can be found here and the Original thread
Use this file for upgrading to the newer baseband.
For downgrading go to this thread on the first post, if you have a T-Mobile phone download this one if not the the other.
From this thread download the offline tool
This tool will let us upgrade or downgrade.
Now the thread provide instructions but many people get lost even with the pictures because there are basic yet important steps he misses.
1-) Unzip the tool.
2-) go to start menu and look for wordpad, do a rick click and run as administrator.
3-) Opend wordpad as administrator, from it, open up the “host” file is under C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ or %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\ at the bottom add 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com.
4-)open cmd.exe as administrator, cd to the unzipped directory and run Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs
To open cm or wordpad as administrator you have to do a search in the menu bar and then a right click and select "run as" or "run as administrator"
5-) The script will install 1. MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser, let it do it.
6-) The script will also run 2. “windows enabler.exe”, on the status bar (usually right lower corner) a new icon will show up, do a left click and make sure it says on.
7-) 3. Enable the phone’s “USB debugging” mode (menu>settings>applications>development>USB debugging), connect the phone to PC and wait for drivers to be loaded.
4. Run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" if the script dont already start it. It usually does.
9-) Despite of what the original guides says, the only thing you need to change is select the kdz file.
10-) Press "Normal web upgrade test" > upgrade start >
11-) Select: Clear Phone Software update registry, Select "Different Country" and select your Language. Click <OK>
12-) Ignore any message saying to check the internet and run again, this is good.
13-) Wait until it finishes. If it gives any message that the phone is not connected or something like that, disconnect it, turn it off, remove battery and plug it back holding "Volume Down" key. (Automatically goes to Upgrade mode).
That's it. The same process to upgrade or downgrade.
The last step is to flash cwm. Use the link I provide in this same post.

I just found out that the lewas dial app crashes when you receive a call. I was testing wifi calls, so the good news is, it works, the bad news is, I'll have to change that app and re-upload.
hey op, just some advice, you should add in the op screenshots, what kind of rom this is, and its features etc. cuz most of us cant read chinese
Removed file, I'm going to start over. I broke data while playing with changing the dial apk.

If it did not work on CM7.2 Nightly from 05/27/2012 then there is a high chance that it will not work as it is based on that.
I'm currently testing a build. When changing the phone.apk and its odex file for the phone.apk from cm it seems my data is gone and dialers crash at boot. Currently trying to figure out how to fix it.
After much struggle I decided to start completely clean. So I got the data working again but the dialer would crash when incoming calls.
Now I'm going to try to replace the phone.apk for the CM one. If that works then soon enough I should have a "stable" version soon.
There is a new initial release, check changelog for more info.
I'm still unable to replace the crappy dialer app from this rom, ugh!
Still working on finsding a solution. If anyone could help me with showing me how to deodex this rom, and even better, how to replace the dialer app without breaking data, please let me know.
Edit: ALso I just finished reuploading, this time I changed the chinese apps for better ones eventhough dialer issue still persist. AT last that would be a better initial release than just pure stock Lewaos.
Keep us updated. The dialer messenger combo is kind of cool, if I was able to make calls...

With the stock I was able to make calls with both wifi calling and without. The problem is to receive it.
I'm not that popular either way so I could go without it for a while

Well normally on the lewaos launcher, you just press and hold the screen, then a menu will appear at the button, select widgets, then above that menu the available widgets will show up.
The closest setting I see for lockscreen is on settings>personal>themes<customize> then you get lockscreen and its wallpaper.
Support for themes is fully working. But you need to use the default launcher to see the changes not adw launcher.
Aside from this, I'm not quite sure what is your issue as I can get widgets just fine.

Thanks i got it!
Old baseband version coming soon. Hopefully this one will be stable. I'm planing on using the latest nightly and remove support of the new baseband to make it work with the old one.
Also I have a untested ICS rom Genesis Beta 9 with support for the new baseband, and updated kernel modified by me. So I'll be going back to the new baseband to test that rom
Yayyyyy,hopefully dialer can be resolved. The Wi-Fi calling apk is in this correct?

So here we go I can say finally I managed to produce firs custom rom for our beloved HTC One S C2 (I called it this way cause that is how on gsmarena.net is presented). If we ever get a sub forum this is how I suggest it is called. It is not very special rom, but it is a start. cause I don't like bloatware on my phone, I've tried to remove as many unnecessary stuff as I could remember, and I could miss.
Since this is my very first rom I've build with kitchen (for public use at least), don't be to harsh on me. I will try to improve it, and remove even more sens components, cause I just prefer stock experience.
You will need android sdk on you computer (you may know it as adb shell)
REQUIREMENTS
Unlocked Bootloader and Root access
TWRP Recovery
INSTALLATION
1. Download the ROM, extract only boot.img where you have android-sdk installed installed in folder platform-tools
2. Make a backup of your apps with Titanium backup or other similar app (so that you can restore them after flashing my rom)
3. Boot into Recovery (with GooManager, or restart phone and hold volume down, when in fastboot choose recovery with volume down and press power button)
4. Make a BACKUP in recovery!
5. WIPE! Do a factory reset and System wipe
6. "install zip from sdcard"
7. "choose zip from sdcard"
8. Flash the ROM
9. Go back to the main menu of recovery, choos reboot, and then reboot to bootloader.
10. Flash kernel with Command prompt (go into direcotry where you have extracted boot.img) and run:
(step by step guide)
Short version:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
11. Wait until android boots up, it will take a few mintues (5-10), because it is deodexed, but only first boot takes longer after that it is normal.
What is working:
Since this is sense based rom all the functionality should work (calling, texting, mobile data, GPS, wifi, bluetooth, camera, etc)
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS:
- There might be some reports of some services stop executing, this is nothing to worry about, it would just be something that I have removed cause it is only sens based and drains battery, but it should impact with phone experience.
- Due to all HTC widgets removal, not all the lockscreen options are functional (like people).
FUTURE:
I hope I'll have time and the will to make this rom to look and feel almost as an AOSP based (that is with statusbar, lockscreen, dialer, settings, etc). But I am still learning so don't expect to much. If there is themer among you or modder, I would really apperaciate some help with this stuff. Together we can make this something ! I would also need some mirror if this rom will become popular.
WARRINING:
This rom is for HTC One S with S3 processor only!!!
Flashing any kind of custom rom voids your warranty, and it could brick your phone. I am not responsible if this happens to you. So you flash this software completely at your own risk!
That being said here is the download link.
BackToBasics_v1
BackToBasics_v2:
(you have to downloade both rar files in sam folder and then extract from .part1, it will extract flashable .zip)
PART 1
PART 2
BackToBasics_V3
If you are coming from lower version of this rom, just make backup, wipe cache, flash rom and you are good to go. No need to factory reset (data wipe) or system wipe in this case

I can include this, but I will read a little more, to see if it is worth it.
EDIT: Good news I've solved WIFI and root problems. Will upload new build tommorow, cause I most probably I won't have enaught time today.
New version is up!
I suggest you to change thread caption to v2, and to move up changelog for v2.
25.04.18 .. just a quick warning for newcomers !! YES Oreo is out there to try via OTA
BUT use the U2CRC7 or U2CRC8 these will be MUCH safer
(using U3CRD1 , or U3CRD4 you need to be REALLY careful, as you are updating the bootloader too (from v2, to v3)
which if you then get into a bootloop for whatever reason, you cannot use ODIN to get out of it as they are all bootloader v2 .. and thus you will be stuck untill one becomes available ! )
###
Ok first public release of a S7active Rom Modder ....
(this version is for ROOT only and was adapted from this Ufirm )
### Download links, for people who dont wanna read !
My Mega Folder
which has Stock Odin files PI2 andQD4, also a OTA zip folder with (numbered) files up to newest QL6 (20.01.18)
eng_boot files to flash in odin for root enabling,
and Rooting scripts ..
Newest Link to my Rom Modder, UFirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3f.zip
you can also use this Link to a Russian download site that also keeps updated with all of the above too (with unnumbered OTA update files that gets confusing)...
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/
And this link is to the official AT&T site,
that lists the most recent baseband version release, and when it was released (so this will also be upto date, even when this post isnt!)
### THIS Tutorial gives you ....
Fresh Stock Nougat (either upgrade or degrade or start again to V6/v7)
Root (with governor select, fingerprint fix, busy box installer)
BOOT Animation select; Samsung,Pixel,NoNaMe,Echoe + Sund on/off selectable to
Advert blocker installer; Adaway (with an app), or opensource list
S8 App installs; all selectable; camera, browser, launcher, fonts, clock/calendar SHealth, Bixby etc etc
Google Apps; Pixel launcher, dialer, camera, clock, calender etc etc
Dual speaker mods
Custom Mods/apps; XDA, Hometouch, Viper4Android, Solid Explorer, Nova Launcher,Cerberus, smartswitch, Torch toggler (these are all Play-Store versions, just selectable to embed within Rom (as systemApp))
and then a Debloater; a completely manual option, or a network debloat only (including bookmarks contacts etc), or a simpler BS level, or a 'playstore' style strip of apps leaving you with bare essentials
Works on ALL Nougat versions with Root, via Flashfire.....
but works best following steps below to start from a fresh stock odin flash (so you can start from any level then)
Of course all the normal caveats, do a backup, make sure phones charged up... etc etc etc
### So If you are on Marshmallow(Android v6), this Upgrades to Nougat(Android v7) OR if you just want to start fresh
Step 1. - Use Odin PrinceComsyModified and load up all 4 files from this complete G891AUCS2BQD4_7.0_all Nougat QD4 package
can only flash when in download mode (thats from phone switched off, then hold home+volume then hold power)
After thats finished, phone reboots to the setup wizard thingy, your now back to fresh stock Nougat... (no real need to go through this setup wizard yet really)
Step1a. - If you want to get up-to-date to a Higher Firmware NOW is the time, via OTA zips, in the standard recovery QD4-QF2, then QF2-QG1 at present ...
OTA-UPDATE folder
Step1b. - Get those updates on the SDcard, boot into standard recovery (thats with phone powered down, press and volume up+Home, then the power button)
Step1c. - Select update from zip/sdcard (volume butons to scroll, power button to select)
Step1d. - wait for it to finish, it DOES take ages, once it has, start the next one etc etc ...
### So once on Nougat get root with
Step 2. - G891A_7.0_ENG_ROOT , flash in Odin (in the AP placement) when in download mode (fire up download mode with, phone switched off, home+volume then hold power)
that gives you root availability.
Step3. - Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2, once rebooted, and now back at the setup wizard thingy,
Run root.bat from this zip and follow on screen prompts (will erase fingerprint patterns if you select it!), select CPU governor you want
Ondemand is the prefered for overall performance, and Conservative for best battery life..... this will follow on and Install flashfire too
So that gives you fresh Nougat, and Root. stop here if thats all your after !
### or if you are already Rooted and in Nougat
Step4. - Download my Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3 and transfer to the sdcard of ya s7active *** New version 01.08.17 Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3f
Step5. - Open up Flashfire (install from playstore (its by chainfire) if your starting from this step) it checks root (go back to step 3 if it fails) partitions etc etc then agree with all the normal stuff ..
select the 'plus' icon bottom right, choose 'flash zip or ota', and select Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V2 that you copied over in step4
you dont need to select anything on this pain..
make sure EverRoot is disabled .. (just click it and untick it if it is)
scroll down a bit i expect, and hit the big FLASH button ! ...
after a couple minutes of black, and scrolling stuff, and the red flashfire banner, you are set at Aroma...
Step6. - now in 'Aroma follow the onscreen prompts
you can select no wipe, no reroot, no bootanimations mod, no ads, no s8 mods, no google mods, no speaker mod, no custom mods, and no debloat... and nothing with change ...
or can select selectivly... and have stripped out, google apps, and pixel launcher, with lots of new apps, viper, etc etc ...
so its very option friendly from here
but if your going to elect s8 mods, or the playstore mods, then a wipe is best (of you will have to select to clear cache/data on the apps one back up and running to prevent closes)
Step7. - Come back here and thanks us all and let us know of any improvements or bugs
this of course doesnt trip knox, and all buttons work, as not much system files are touched really ...
PLEASE let me know how you get on ! ....
and A BIG Thanks to jrkruse, CVertigo1, FtaWolf, Arteush, echeo rom team for the mods, NoNaMe team, ViPer4A team
and a especially big thanks to activefan01 as with out him we STILL wouldnt have root !!!
and the many many many other people on this forum who post so i can trawl through and learn and the ones ive hassled.
### FAQ
Q: Do i need to do a wipe to try this ?
A: no, you dont NEED to wipe, or to odin, or to select AP in flashfire to try it.. Just be careful what you select, and BACKUP 1st like you are going to wipe !....
But wiping is a good way to get a real clean stripped out stock look, if you re-install fresh with Odin first and wipe
Q: Do i need to Root after running this ?
A: No, you can select "No change" , and it will keep its root status from Step3 Root procedure,
this option will install busybox, as Viper4A needs it, also adds improvements to device.prop too(config.tima) and is there so you can change the CPU governor or redo Fingerprint fix again (Its from the 2.82 install)
and for IF we ever get this working via stock boot.img !
Q: Can i run this multiple times then to swop things around, or try/add different Mods out ?
A: Yes, Yes you can... if you wanna JUST run this again to install, Nova launcher then select the right options, and thats ALL this will do
hell select the right options and this script does nothing !
Q: So could i use this to JUST debloat my phone ?
A: Yes select the right option, and it will only do a network debloat, and install nothing
Q: Will this trip KNOX ?
A: No
Q: Is the G891A_7.0_ENG_ROOT file different to the one already released ..
A: No its the same, just put it on here to keep it all together
Q: Is the Root Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2 file different to the one already released
A: No its the newest one ATM, just put it on here to keep it all together (i did change the exit to a pause at the end so you can review if it worked )
Q: Do i have to use the Ufirm zip thingy to keep root ?
A: No this just a Rom modder, so it adds, and takes stuff away that you select onscreen
Q: can i just keep stock ?
A: Yes Step1 will give you JUST a clean stock nougat, NO mods nothing...
Q: Can i use OTA zips to update this later?
A: Not in the normal/stock over-the-air via AT&T network method no, as the eng_root, and system file are detectable, and it will error out (but wont break anything)
A2: Also not via the 'stock' recovery either, as of above, you using the eng_root, which doesnt support DM-Verity so it doesnt let you use SDcard or ADB (but again wont break anything trying)
A3: what about via flashfire ? Nope, also fails due to miss matches of files detected via OTA script..
Q: Can i use the OTA files to update to the newest ROM version first ?
A: Yes course, start with newest Odin flash (QD4 at the mo) then use the OTA increment update files, then load the Ufirm modder if you want, or not your choice !
Q: Can i install OTA updates WITHOUT causing the update to wipe everything everytime !?
A: Yes you can, you HAVE to watch it update and STOP the update script procedure when you see "script succeeded: result was [/system]" and then Immediately press and hold Power + Home + VolUp + VolDown.
as found/posted by Mike_1996 here on this clicky link
Q: Can we not just install TWRP or other recovery and use that ?
A: No the bootloader is locked, and we cannot change recovery at all. (not even the standard S7 has this either (well only the japan version !))
Q: Well ive used this and ROOT and it stuppidly slow
A:Yes it can be a little slower, especially at first, it can settle, but the ROOT method we have is to use the engineering files, and they effect speed...
you can read through this thread, as there are 'some' tips, but ultimately, yes it will be slower at times !

Very excited to see that the thread is started!!
Again, great job dude!
Any big things noticed since 24 hours with BS debloat with all S8 tweaks and the stock CSC which is powerful to delete all AT&T smudges... but I will still try a CSC of european S7 since I live there. (For the network preference?)
Only big battery draining with the engineering kernel... With all power save tweaks seen in the root thread.
I think the stock kernel portability should be a priority.
Perhaps an option to disable the startup sound, by deleting /system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg.bak
And modifying ro.config.tima to 0 in build.prop to fix shealth since it have to be deleted and reinstall to work.
If I'm not mistaken..! This is the way I use to make it working..
Oh. Great job.
do You get screenshot rom ?

Thankyou
-what things does the Euro CSC have thats beneficial ? could incorparate it, plus im in Europe too !
-Stock portability im looking into to, have finally worked out how they do it (managed to get reply from jrkruse)
-need to look into it more to see if its possible on the active, as its BL is v2, and the standard s7 is v4
but its to do with the mix match of gsm and cdma ... so Bootloader section is invovled, so would be risky !
-Will se what i can impliment for bootup sound, and will sort out the build.prop ...

Thankyou, no need for screenshots really, its not really a rom that changes much to look at, more of a debloater, and standard mod/launcher installer ...
soo looks either very minimalist stock, with choice of s8 apps, or as you want it via google apps, or/and novalaucher etc ...

i cannot get viper4android actual get the drivers installed proper, sayd they installed, reboot, and they download and install again, its like it cannot get drivers to stick ..
plus need to to sort out manual debloater options better ...
gonna try get echoe converted next.. as i wanna see if gearVR works on it !
Like I expected use a CSC from European S7 works perfectly and add features in network, location and probably others nice things!
There is an aroma with lot of CSC for S7 in the forum, If it moded to allow a flash into S7 Active, it will works. I will contact the author.
Ok! I contact some people too for information about the tweaks to keep stock kernel.. we will see!

do you have a link to forum of the CSC for S7 ? ...will take a read...
an the main place that explained how to keep the stock kernel is here....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/development/rom-t3569416/page15
and he says later on... "It's not the boot.img it's the dm verity process of the cdma firmware when gsm firmware is flashed over the top of cdma firmware. That's why in every case you have to start on cdma firmware it doesn't have to be Verizon"
so my understanding would be .. we would need to flash a, Verizon NON-HLOS.bin BL with the pit file ? (so thats the cdma firmware) which is risky ! as this may brick our device due to missmatch bootloader etc !?
Root, then run my mod, then once all the CSC, symlinks etc etc are back in place, flash back our own AT&T NON-HLOS.bin(the GSM) ....
but need to gather those NON-HLOS.bin's from the correct versions, mainly a AT&T one, and compare the actives to a standard G930A, IF they the same, then we MIGHT have a chance !?

Have you tried selinux mod changer to make the drivers stick? Had to use it on my old HTC 626s.(v4a)
Hi, i flashed the s8 dual speakers mod and it works great! Music, ringtones, all work with dual speakers. But I noticed in some games like Mobile Legends none of the speakers work. I also read the original thread on the last page that some users also reported that the dual speakers mod doesnt work in some games. Do u have the original mixer_paths_tasha.xml file so that i could restore it back to single speaker please?
I just hardbricked my S7 Active by trying to reinstall the stock kernel....
It doesnt start, doesnt want go in download mode or anything... while I havent touch to FBL SBL so logically it should be able to go in download mode but it doesnt want.
I try JIG USB but it doesnt help since battery need to be removed...
If anyone have another idea?
Be more carefull than me and don't flash anything... But I still think that it is possible to keep stock kernel after modding.
I will use the guarantee. So I can't help for few weeks...
If someone wants to try, follow the tutorial, apply all mod you want and finaly just flashing the stock kernel from flashfire (only original boot.img in a tar file) with selecting recovery mode reboot. It will show an error, after that select mount system/ then wipe cache and reboot.
See you soon!
ouch ... its pretty hard to hard brick them, using stock stuff...
ive been messing around with lots of messed around boot.img initially and i never bricked it, LOTS of blue screens, and warnings !
what was battery charge at ?? as they dont seem to charge when in bootloader/recovery
so if it gets into bootloops and fall asleep say and dont notice, you may get stuck ...
i was VERY close to doing this... once i woke, realised and reflashed something so it boots, i was at 2% !!! i started at 80%ish
so be cateful bootloops drain it quicker, and can make phone get real hot, especially when ya fall asleep at ya desk as coding all night !
i dont see how flashing stock boot.img would brick it too,
unless it didnt flash properly ? as it checks image for checksums/hacks before commiting it to memory..
so worst would be boot loops...
only way to brick i would of thought is mess around with the BL section in odin.... as bootloaders can bugger it !
maybe leave it on charger over night, and then try get into bootloader ??

I could be wrong but to me it sounds like he applied mods and then tried to return to stock BL; obviously that isn't going to work but I'm very surprised that you can't just reflash?

indeed, would just result in boot loops ...
on a different note, now uploading new version 2.1
Fixed viper4android, NoNaMeMod, and added return to single speaker mode, bootanimation sound select, plus redone the manual debloat section so its more suited to our actives ...
also looked into csc, and its gonna be better if you just run a dedicated CSC swopper .. like the one here

CSC swapper is ok to run via Flashfire?
I thought you had to have TWRP.
Downloading 2.1 now, very excited. You've achieved a great deal here, Miniminus and should be very proud of your efforts.
I'm super pleased to have root + a few goodies on Android 7.0
Have to say even with Eng kernel, 7.0 rooted is way smoother and less buggy than root on 6.0 (especially with all your tweaks applied). But, I am still missing the battery life I was able to achieve in 6.0 Root with a few xposed modules and deep hacks configured. Under 6.0 I managed to get it to the point I would lose about 2% battery overnight. Under 7.0 I lose about 20% per night no matter what I do.
Still, battery life is decent compared to all my other devices and the dual speaker mod + viperx etc absolutely kicks arse.
Bluetooth is broken for some reason on version 2.1. Admittedly I did not check this on 2.0, but in current release applied with full wipe + all S8 cmods + heavy debloat it simply does not turn on.
Also, wifi keeps losing my settings as it did with the original root process. I can't remember how to fix this but I know it can be done.
I'm having the same issue after flashing v2.1 . Everytime i restart my phone, the wifi settings get reset. I have to manually key in my wifi password again. Bluetooth doesn't work when I tap the icon, Device maintenance is missing from settings, and the blue light filter is also missing..

Thankyou have spent way to long on it, and i was only trying to get the GearVR going on it, of which i STILL cannot do, think its locked via kernel
csc 'should' work ok in flashfire, althou messing with csc is risky as it messes with efs partition ...
20% overnight is pants ! im defo getting over that, but i havent had simcard in me phone for a bit ...
whats it saying the most drain is in battery usage ?

the wifi fix was securestorage to false ... which its got that in this hmm odd, im thinking it must be one of the s8 mods not sure which one ! its not the launcher as i have that one on ..

hmmm which s8 mods you got selected ? as bluelight and wifi and device maintenance are ok here ... so the script is ok, must be one of the modules, and im gonna guess at a s8 one ! ..
but can confirm my bluetooth isnt working either, not noticed before .. will have to try pin it down to an action thats been carried out will have to go one by one !!!!
so clean install, and select nothing .. see if anything breaks etc etc
device manager i think gets messed with with the s8 browser ..
im out today so will look tonight ..
Hmm i didnt install any s8 mods as the system UI crashed the first time i tried the s8 mods. But my firmware before i flashed ufirm is qf2 june patch.. and i chose manual debloating including AT&T apps, ANT apps, and most of the samsung bloatware
Is there any log information that we can provide to try and track this ***** down?
Cheers
