[G925F/FD/W8/...][6.0+] SYSTEMLESS DevBase | Encryption support | Stock OTA updates

SYSTEMLESS DevBase has been developed and physically tested on S7 Edge (G935F), so main thread containing the most detailed description you can find here:
>> [SAMSUNG][6.0+] SYSTEMLESS DevBase | Encryption support | Stock OTA updates <<
However, it should work on ALL SAMSUNG DEVICES running Android 6.0+, so if you are Galaxy S6 Edge (G925xx) owner - please place your feedback & discussion here to let me know about device-specific issues or to let me know that everything works perfect
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are you tired with traditional custom ROMs?
Do you miss custom ROMs but you would like to have encrypted /data (for privacy/security reasons)?
You are in the right place! I present you SYSTEMLESS DevBase - an SYSTEMLESS equivalent of my previous work (for older devices)
Prerequisites:
- Samsung device running stock or stock-based Android 6.0+ (mandatory!)
- Rooted device - SuperSU v2.76+ installed in SYSTEMLESS mode (mandatory!) (*)
- Stock, untouched /system partition (not mandatory, but recommended for working OTA)
- Stock recovery (not mandatory, but recommended for working OTA)
(*) NOTE: The latest CF-Auto-Root image for G925F contains SuperSU v2.74 which does not support SYSTEMLESS solutions (su.d is not triggered early enough). It is NOT enough to update it via PlayStore to the newest version and update su binaries! You need to update it using TWRP / FlashFire installable ZIP from THIS STABLE or THIS BETA thread. Alternatively you can use "EverRoot" -> "Inject SuperSU" option in FlashFire even if you are rooted already by CF-Auto-Root (it will update SuperSU in the same way as flashing ZIP).
SYSTEMLESS DevBase:
1. Benefits / main features:
- Works with encypted /data partition
- Working official OTA updates! (see Tips & Tricks)
- Does NOT perform any phisical modifications in /system
- Does NOT perform any additional changes/patches to the kernel
- Removed KNOX warnings (systemlessly removed SecurityLogAgent)
- It contains SYSTEMLESS BusyBox (bionic, the most stable and respected release)
- It allows you to easily modify most of files & apps in your /system - SYSTEMLESSLY (see Tips & Tricks)
- It does not interfere with Magisk! You can use Magisk in paralell with SYSTEMLESS DevBase if you need it for your favorite module.
2. Systemless Safe De-Bloat (more info below):
What does it mean and why is it called "safe"?
- ONLY apps available in stores will be systemlessly removed from the ROM, so you can easily (re)install any of these app if you like
- ONLY pre-installed system apps are will be systemlessly removed, DevBase installer never touch any updated app nor app installed manually from store
Thus, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. If you install my SYSTEMLESS DevBase directly over working stock ROM - in most cases almost all these apps will remain untouched, because almost all apps have been updated already (stored on /data). But then you will be able to remove any useless app using the "Application manager" -> [Name_Of_App_To_Remove] -> MORE -> Uninstall updates. NOTE: App will disappear arter reboot and will be visible even in Titanium Backup!
2. If you perform "Wipe data" directly before installing SuperSU and my SYSTEMLESS DevBase (before you let to install app's updates) - then all apps listed below will be removed. If you would like to use any of these apps - just install it manually from appropriate store. Installed manually app will not be removed during the next DevBase update or re-install.
Removed apps list (depends on the device, should cover all devices starting from Galaxy S5):
ChatON
Chrome
Drive
Dropbox
EditorsDocs
Evernote
Excel
Facebook
FB Messenger
FB Pages Manager
Flipboard
Google+ / Photos
Group Play
Hangouts
Instagram
OneDrive
OneNote
PEN.UP
Play Books
Play Games
Play Movies
Play Music
Play Newsstand
PowerPoint
Skype
Smart Remote
WhatsApp
Word
NEW! Safe De-Bloat feature automatically detects and systemlessly removes apps not listed above, but present in your CSC package
3. Systemless CscFeature MOD (enabled some built-in, hidden features):
- Added shutter sound menu in Camera app
- Sending/receiving MMS without data on
- Show SMS/MMS sending time instead of receiving
- Added "Exit Internet" option to stock browser
- Added call button in Phone Logs (**)
- Added "Call/Message block" option in Settings
- Added symbols as secondary keys in Samsung keyboard (**)
- Call Recording (manual control, added "Record" button)
(**) may not work starting from Android 7.0 Nougat
Installation:
1. FlashFire app (recommended ***):
- Open file using "Flash ZIP or OTA" option
- UNTICK "Mount /system read/write" [extremely important for working OTA!]
- Enable "EverRoot" -> "Inject SuperSU" option if necessary (see NOTE above (*))
- Tap "FLASH"
2. TWRP recovery:
- Tap "Keep Read Only" on the Welcome screen [extremely important for working OTA!]
- Open file using "Install" option (use extSdCard or OTG storage in case of encrypted /data)
- Confirm flash by swiping right
- Tap "Reboot System"
NOTE1: One additional auto-reboot may be performed at first boot. It is not a bug (may be required for systemless build.prop support - see Tips & Tricks for more explanations)
NOTE2: Do not worry about red "mount /data failed..." messages displayed in TWRP in case of encrypted /data (installer will do the work anyway!)
(***) As far as I know - FlashFire is the only flashing tool with full access to /data during flash in case of encrypted devices. It is also the only tool which allows you to perform full backup/restore of partitions, including encrypted /data. It does NOT require custom recovery to work!

Tips & Tricks
1. OTA updates:
- Basically, the only thing you need to take OTA update is to perform "Full unroot" in the SuperSU app. However, a better way is to use "unroot2ota" terminal command, because this will not remove DevBase boot script from /su/su.d and the only thing you will need to re-activate SYSTEMLESS DevBase (and all your systemless MODs) after performing OTA update is just re-root your device with CF-Auto-Root.
- If you flashed custom recovery like TWRP - it is mandatory to restore your stock recovery (otherwise OTA will not work). You can do it using FlashFire app (the easiest way) - just open recovery.img file (extracted from your original FW) using "Flash firmware package" option, disable "Preserve recovery" option and then tap "FLASH". EDIT: Starting from version v1.2 there is a new "unroot2ota" feature which allow you to restore stock recovery using /system/recovery-fromm-boot.p file. There is no guarantee to perform it successfully (even if there is no error message) but in most cases it works well (tested on Nougat beta). Please go to recovery before you try to get OTA to check if you have stock recovery already after performing "unroot2ota" (if not - you need to use PC Odin to flash recovery.img packed in tar file).
- It is recommended to temporarily disable "Auto-update apps" in Play Store settings before you unroot your device. It will prevent updating applications covered by Safe De-Bloat list, as there apps will temporarily appear until you re-root the phone after performing OTA update.
Note (devices which use dm-verity): You should never allow /system modifications in TWRP, never allow to remount /system r/w in any app (e.g. Root Explorer, FlashFire, etc.) and never flash a ZIP file which could modify your /system or remount it r/w. Failure to follow these recommendations will break dm-verity verification and will cause, that your device may not be able to boot with the stock kernel (you will need to re-flash your original FW using PC Odin to make your device bootable).
2. Making your own modifications:
- You can systemlessly replace any existing system app by modded one. Just put modified app to /data/devbase/system/app or /data/devbase/system/priv-app and then reboot your device
- You can systemlessly replace jar or apk in /system/framework. Just put modified one to /data/devbase/system/framework and then reboot your device (NOTE: framework support has been added for advanced users -> there is high risk of bootloop if you do something wrong!)
- You can systemlessly add or override any line in /system/build.prop. Just put (only new or changed) line to /data/devbase/system/build.prop and then reboot your device (NOTE: one additional auto-reboot will be performed if /data/devbase/system/build.prop file has been added, modified or removed. It is not a bug - it is required for the changes in /data/devbase/system/build.prop to take effect!)
- You can systemlessly replace any existing file in /system/csc and /system/etc (but NOT in subdirectories). Just put modified copy of a file to /data/devbase/system/csc or /data/devbase/system/etc and then reboot device
Limitations: original app or file MUST physically exist with the same name in /system, you can NOT add a new app or file this way!
Example 1 (Ad-Blocking): Download the latest Ad-Blocking ZIP installer from THIS thread. Extract "hosts" file (placed in /system/etc inside ZIP file), then copy it to /data/devbase/system/etc, set rw-r--r-- (644) permissions and then reboot device
Example 2 (modded SystemUI): Create "SystemUI" directory in /data/devbase/system/priv-app and then put modified "SystemUI.apk" file into it. Set rwxr-xr-x (755) permissions to "SystemUI" directory, rw-r--r-- (644) permissions to "SystemUI.apk" and then reboot device
Example 3 (De-Bloating a bit more): You can just create empty directories in /data/devbase/system/app (or priv-app) corresponding to applications in /system/app (or priv-app). Alternatively (more advanced method), you can add an app to modded enforceskippingpackages.txt file (you can find it in /data/devbase/system/etc or /data/devbase/system/csc_contents, depending on the original location in /system) and increase number in the 1st line. Second method should not be used by beginners (without a basic knowledge related to UNIX text format)
3. How to manually maintain the newest ROM version:
If you do not care about OTA - you can manually update your device to the newest ROM available @ Sammobile, keeping your original CSC (you need multi-file original FW, I mean separate files for BL/AP/CP/CSC). You need to download 2 ROMs: ROM with the newest changelist and the latest ROM containing your original CSC. Extract both and open in PC Odin BL/AP/CP files from the ROM with highest changelist but open CSC file from the ROM containing your CSC (I recommend to use HOME_CSC_* file to avoid auto-wipe-data). Flash such "mix", re-root and enjoy

Reserved

There is new version available
Changelog
v1.1:
- Added SYSTEMLESS support for /system/framework
- Added SYSTEMLESS support for /system/build.prop (overrides & additions)
- Added major Android update detection (auto-remove mods for older API to prevent bootloops & FCs)
- Added BusyBox bionic (the most stable and respected release)
- Added logging to /data/devbase/last_boot.log (API & errors)
- Added SuperSU boot patcher version checker (exits su.d boot script if < 2.76)
- Added "Please DO NOT wipe /cache" warning in case of encrypted devices and TWRP recovery
- Minor changes & optimizations in the shell code
- Added SYSTEMLESS DevBase uninstaller
Download link:
>> SYSTEMLESS_DevBase_v1.1.zip <<
Since new version has many more features -> there are more possibilities of bootloop (especially if you are playing with framework mods). I have created DevBase remover to let you get out from bootloop. Of course uninstaller does NOT "know" which mod caused the problem, so it will not remove any file from /data/devbase directory, it will remove only /su/su.d/0000000devbase boot script to make your device bootable (again) so you can manually delete problematic mod:
>> SYSTEMLESS_DevBase_remover.zip <<

Another update:
v1.3:
- Fixed CscFeature MOD (e.g. G920I case, now should work with all Samsung devices/variants)
v1.2:
- Added info in Settings/About device/Software info/Build number (can be overrided by editing /data/devbase/system/build.prop)
- unroot2ota: added ability to restore stock recovery using /system/recovery-from-boot.p file (no guarantee)
- unroot2ota: check /system partition for common modifications before unroot
- Minor changes & improvements in the shell code

[ROOTED][FINGERPRINT] Fix Fingerprint Not Working After Upgrade to Android Pie

My phone currently using PixelExperience_tissot-8.1.0-20180715-0738-OFFICIAL.zip (flashed using Aex12's TWRP a1to5x).
I flash to the latest PixelExperience_tiffany-9.0-20190116-0527-OFFICIAL.zip (link).
Everything working fine except fingerprint.
My 5X Fingerprint info (check using AIDA64)
Manufacturer : FPC / Goodix
Model : FPC102x / FP
After a few try n error, now I can get the fingerprint working.
Step:
I assume you ady installed Android P rom on your 5X
1. Download Android P Firmware (link).
2. Extract and run flash_only_firmware.sh (credit to Aex12).
notes: this flash_only_firmware.sh can only run on Linux.
if you use Windows OS, you can download the script from Aex12 thread (link)
3. Delete lockscreen and fingerprint data on your phone. (This step taken from here)
- Open file manager, go to /data/system/
- delete any file with ".key" extension and file with "locksettings" name.
- go to /data/system/users/0/fpdata/
- delete user.db file (just skip this step if your phone doesn't have user.db file)
- go to /data/system/users/0/
- delete settings_fingerprint.xml file (just skip this step if your phone doesn't have settings_fingerprint.xml file)
- Reboot the device and add fingerprint.
DONE..

[GUIDE] [Universal] How to put together your own CalyxOS with microG

Honestly I was so aggravated at the amount of attention this ROM was getting,
that I just had to make this guide to show how easy it is to get CalyxOS features with the help of LineageOS
Note: This won't be too noob-friendly, so do your research before following this. If your phone catches fire, nothing I can do!
Also I'll be referring to LineageOS for microG as LMM throughout the guide
Safetynet also currently seems to be broken
Pre-requisites before using this guide:​ - A phone ready for custom ROM'ing (unlocked bootloader, custom recovery installed yada yada)
- A user willing to sacrifice 90% Google apps (microG still has it's limitations you know)
- PC with everything ready (just to make the process smooth)
- TWRP backup of your previous ROM (just in case something goes wrong)
Let's begin!
Stage 1: Check and download​1) Check if your phone has official support for LineageOS for microG
2) If it's there; congratulations! Your life has been made 50% easier.
If it isn't, well, you'll have to check if you have official/unofficial ROM support for the standard LineageOS.
If that isn't there, you'll have to go with any other deODEX'd ROM (which means your results may vary compared to the one here)
3) Download the respective ROM zips, Magisk (for root) and Aurora Store.
If you're not downloading LMM, download NanoDroid Patcher (signature spoofing), NanoDroid microG (the microG package)
[Fun fact: If you're using the latest version of Magisk (which you should), rename the APK to "install.zip" to be able to flash it in recovery]
4) Copy the downloaded media to your SD Card (Internal Storage works too)
​Stage 2 Option 1: If you have LMM support​1) Boot to TWRP or your TWRP fork of choice
2) Go to Wipe; Advanced Wipe; Tick System, Data, Cache, Dalvik and swipe # This will format your ROM + your app data
3) Go back; Install; Search for the Lineage zip.
4) Flash it.
5) Then flash Magisk and reboot.
Stage 2 Option 2: If you don't have LMM support​1) Boot to TWRP or your TWRP fork of choice
2) Go to Wipe; Advanced Wipe; Tick System, Data, Cache, Dalvik and swipe # This will format your ROM + your app data
3) Flash LineageOS / your ROM
4) Reboot your system
5) Do the initial setup
-> Check if you have Signature Spoofing support by installing this
-> If there's no Signature Spoofing support:
-> Boot to TWRP
-> Flash NanoDroid Patcher to patch your system
-> Flash NanoDroid microG and Magisk
-> Reboot your system
-> If there is Signature Spoofing support:
-> Boot to TWRP
-> Only flash NanoDroid microG and Magisk
-> Reboot your system
Stage 3: Post-Installation​<If you had to patch signature spoofing; check if it works now in the Signature Spoof checker>
1) Open microG settings app. Press Self-Check
2) Make sure no checkboxes are unticked. If they are, tick them
3) Go back; Add an account, do Device Registration and enable Cloud Messaging.
Also configure the location backends if you need location
4) microG setup should be done!
5) Now install Aurora Store, and configure it. (should be simple enough)
6) Grab yourself a good VPN and a nice wallpaper
[-] That's it!

Thank you so much for this\, I was looking to see if we can add some customizations like doubletouch to sleep and adding / customizing some customizing some quick settings tiles

No gapps needed (after installing update all apps in play store including play store itself)
Camera works but use gcam go mod by greatness https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-greatness/f/dl9/
if there is any working gcam mod link it so i can test it
gcam go is way way better than the stock camera with hdr night mode portrait and soon filters
(ultra wide and other cameras do not work for now)
Increase performance without any battery impact or (by feravolt and gloeysik)
Step 1
- Install FDE AI Magisk Module to make it a system app, thus it will work better and removes all kernel locks from OEMs (I'm looking at you, Samsung) https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases/download/12.4.1m/FDE.AI-as-system-app.MAGISK.zip
- Update FDE AI to the latest version by downloading the latest APK here, since the fde ai magisk module will only install fde ai 12.4.1, not the latest version: https://github.com/feravolt/FDE.AI-docs/releases
- Move to the bottom of the screen and select AI Chat, then type /advancedai (no space, no uppercase letters). This will going to make the AI more effective, without you having to do anything.
- Go to the settings tab and use the AUTO settings for FDE AI.

As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.
There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but ROM is patched for all these mentioned features. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide
There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It
Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later
Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!
OTA won't work once you root device.
ROOT with caution.
You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.
ROM Tool permission : Files & media - To save and read files, Calendar - Tool needs some time monitoring to avoid using RT immediately after reboot. Special access for accessibility service - Since Android 12 it requires for QS panel custom Toggl e.g. Reboot to recovery

Proud to be the first worldwide to have a Custom ROM, FULL ROOT, Adblock etc on a S22 Ultra Exynos
Community LOVE for you!! ♥♥♥♥♥
EDIT: HERE IS THE GUIDE TO USE FOR EXYNOS (still testing)
Ok, so basically find and download the firmware (S908BXXU1AVC6 for EU - or ask me for the File..) to the phone eather with the Phone itself or trought USB-Cable, install magisk.apk from here, unpack the zip file from Firmware and patch the ap file via magisk, get the files to the pc and use odin to flash the patched Firmware.
of course unlock bootloader before and go to download mode.
Here is how to do that:
Guide to root Galaxy S22 Ultra (B/E/N/0), unlock bootloader and flash official firmware (noob friendly)
Your warranty is now void. If you root your device, Your KNOX status will be tripped. You can still pass the safety net after you root if you follow the instructions. Sorry for USA models, you can't root unless you can unlock your bootloader You...

You can try on exynos (only module, no root files). If it doesn't work then maximum you needs is to factory reset.
In that case I may consider to make separate rom

I think its much better to make separate only for Exnos variant? So that files for SD will not be included, correct me if I'm wrong about that. Also been using your ROM since my Note 9.

Huge thx my bro

ok, so great news, it works at least for exynos as well!
Safetynet also works!
Problems so far:
Can't change my keyboard - UI restarts
com.android.phone closes down
and it says system is unstable - please do a factory restore - on boot up.
But all in all it seems to work, with root etc.

Thx Dr My bro. Hopefully we can have the Exynos version seperatly if possible and not too much of your time consuming.
