Just summering if anyone had tried any of those as some say they're for our model and some say they'll work with the correct kernel.
I've been on AOSP/LOS MM,N, and O. I just wanted to try something different.
Thanks and sorry if it's been asked before

This looks interesting, what kernel did you install after installing the ROM itself. I"ve seen Boeffla, SmartPack, and Phoenix for TW Roms for verizon. There could be others I suppose in other threads though.
Also, did you do anything with CSC, That's an acronym that I'll have to look up and I've never had to worry about that option. Debloated as it is, is really nice, I'd say it's one of , if not, the fastest TW rom out. But I'm looking for something to debloat myself if possible as I wanted the theme engine from another newer phone like for example the s7/8/9 or note series or whatever phone, but substratum would be the shiznit.
Thanks for the reply, and I'm still collecting info from everyone else the more opinions the merrier IMHO that way not only myself but maybe others can make a decision.
I ran Phoenix 15 a while bak and it was a pain to install and use. But the theme engine worked flawlessly. I have all the files from one of the newer phones I found somewhere that after you copy them to the right places and restart your phone you can use s7 or s8 themes I beleieve.
Ahh that's cool the csc code can meke you TW ROM think your phone is something else... VERY COOL>

I like phones that look like "official", "untouched" and don't use rooted phones in everyday life.
That's why I use stock SM-G900V kernel for both CID15 and 11.
But if you have a CID15 phone, you can unlock the bootloader and use any kernel, of course.
Also, did you do anything with CSC, That's an acronym that I'll have to look up and I've never had to worry about that option.

Yes, the most obvious options are the APNs for local operators (I'm on the opposite side of the Globe from Verizon ) and some useful features as the phone call voice recorder.
But mostly I use this ROM because it's international and contains many languages - I use 2 languages besides English in my everyday life .
On the other hand, SM-G900V is a very good and inexpensive device and works just excellent with this ROM.

Thanks for making this thread. I have been wanting to know if there was a good rooted ,debloated, and themeable tw ROM available for our phones. I am chomping @THE bit to see if you come up with anything good.

Nothing special.
The main idea is to use the system image from a good international ROM and the rest of firmware parts from the most recent G900V stock ROM.
Devbase idea is great and beautiful itself but I think is not that much needed for G900V.
Personally I use this ROM in stock unrooted variant.
The ROM (system image) is flashed to G900V from SafeStrap recovery.

Personally you use which rom?
My issues or quirks so far, going back to older twrp, just the right one so that my SD can be read, and I think none of the earlier versions that allow aroma to function correctly, can deal with my ExtSD that is set as internal in storage in N and O. So, I bit the bullet and tried a couple taking care to flash the correct kernel in each case. However, my efforts were fruitless, and I ended up completely wiped. And while I keep a lot backed up regularly, It had been a while but I didn't lose much important stuff but more like stuff I just don't like having to chase down, like the latest magisk, nanodroids zips, xposed, custom kernel, and so on..
Either way, after trying two different roms, Nemesis and Noise, which I was really looking forward to running, neither worked well. I can't remember making calls or sending texts, but I do remember a lot of apps crashing constantly but perhaps there's more to do that select a kernel, the one thing they ask you to select doesn't have an option for vzw. The code thing, that's probably what screwed me on both attempts.
For those who are wondering, there's the phoenix ROM in the vzw dev thread. It does have the theme engine from Samsung. I just wanted to try something like Noise or another Rom.
Also I remember downloading the files needed from somewhere to add to a stock rom to add the theme engine. There's quite a bit, but I'm almost certain this would work, for the theme engine, but I'd like to try some of the newer samsung apps.
I kinda really hate going back to to stock based rom because I have a feeling it's not going to be up to date with security patches. That's one thing I like about running Oreo, and even Nougat, there have been several dev's / builders releasing roms with the latest security patches baked in.. RR for example on AndroidFileHost, I think I saw viper, and others as well.
I'm still undecided at this point, and I'm just getting my apps back and with everything else after my accidential SD wipe when I tried to install one of the roms. That really sucked because my last full phone backup was a year ago.
Keep me posted if you guys get any of those ROM's from there working.
Well I've tried a couple and none of them have cell service of any type working for me. I've tried Noise and Unique to no avail. Unique booted fine but no service, Noise wouldn't get past the initial boot screen. This is just my experience so YMMV.
Oh, I've had excellent luck with the Phoenix ROM for CID 15 phones. Everything works as it should. But I still prefer AOSP or LOS based ROMS. If I can only get data working as it should when I'm not on Verizon towers.

I was very happy to help, Scott. I know from experience the ROM is worth the wait! Thanks again for looking out for us T-Mo folks!
Being the guinea pig, I can confirm 100% that everything works perfectly. It does take about 5 mins to wipe and 5 mins to install so don't freak out!

The biggest thing is he now has a base. I sent Scott our system dump and boot.img files and he put something together, and while he couldn't test it, I did at the risk of bricking my phone so we can all have a clean base for ROMS. You're welcome

There are zero advantages to the "average" person. None at all...
Unless you fall into these categories...
1. Screwed your phone up and half the things just don't work right because you "read something on the internet to make your phone (battery last longer, speed it up, random useless failed feature here)" and it didint quite go the way you expected it to and you cannot send TXT messages (just a random made up example). This would be a great way to fix that...
2. You flashed "Dev A's" ROM and you realized that the color (random color here) is not for you and you are about to go insane but are on the road so you can just flash this back to get back to a stock look.
3. You want to build your own ROM for personal use and you really dont know where to begin but you know what apps you DONT want in the phone. Yo could use this base to get started.
4. Your another Dev that doesnt have the experience of setting up a stock rooted ROM and may need to use this base to get started. Many people use my stock rooted ROMS across a MULTITUDE of devices because they trust that they are as close to perfect in all aspects as possible. (I was a newb once too and needed to use other stock roots).
If you dont fit into those categories... Then this rom has no value to you.

I am currently on stock rooted NK1 on my Sprint Note Edge. Has any created or tried using a different ROM that works on our phone? Just haven't seen much development with our version of the Edge.
I'm using the same ROM for now... and yes some development would be nice... I was gonna start the same thread myself. We really need some activity, where are the ROMs? It doesn't have to be all bells and stuff, but something.... possibly with native Hotspot working, & the stereo speaker mod included. I wouldn't be opposed to some Vanilla Lollipop but I'm sure that's a long way off.

I hate these types of threads.
There are 2 ROMs right now, both stock. If these are not top your liking then you can build a new one or try to encourage some one to build it for you (digest what you want and put up some cash). Complaining that there is not enough development is useless, is like going to city hall and complaining that there are not enough parks, but then telling the mayor you are not willing to pay more taxes. Anything you are not woolf to do your self or willing to pay for must not be that important to you.
That said I've been modding away at my phone, but my primary focus had been on fiddling with the radio to fond a domestic/international unlock and enabling disabled LTE frequencies. To me these are more important then ROMs. I math work on ROMs later though. Using an international/T-Mobile ROM shouldn't prove to hard, probably will just need a few modifications and it would work.
I'm just running rooted NK1 with:
Greenify

You can use Google Chrome to open the page and use translate the page to English, the rom installation is English. I have installed and run good and smoothly.

This rom is super cool. Im running a different one that's in the same section, it seems to have the UI more accurate like the V20. The devs there seem to be hella active. Ive seen updates every few days for both roms. Runs smooth and battery life is much better than stock in my opinion, cant tell if its a placebo though so Id recommend you test yourself.

I saw a post in the Dev section that stated both 20J & 20L are both set to Anti-Rollback version 2. As long as you stay within the same anti-rollback version then you should be able to move back and forth between 20J & 20L. I believe 20E is Anti-Rollback version 1.
I am about to move back to 20J and will let you know how it goes.

Can someone say whether this ROM has init.d support? You can tell because there will be a folder called init.d at /system/etc/init.d. It may or may not be empty. If there is something in there then it's a pretty good indication. I usually drop a file in there that will run on boot and produce a log file in /data. If that log file doesn't appear, then no init.d support is present.

Can't find it using root browser, though it maybe me. Let's wait for another person to confirm.
I'll go ahead and assume the answer is no unless someone confirms otherwise. If I knew how to mod kernels, ramdisks, etc then I would add it myself. There is a universal init.d app that can add artificial support for this in the meantime, so not a huge deal. But kernel/ROM support for it is superior.

If you replace the build.prop in this rom with a stock one it will get stuck at LG and won't boot any further...at least in my experience. I'm sure it's something easy but who knows

Verizon(d2vzw) ROMs should not be too hard to port to d2usc.
Try this for starters, you'll need more info to go with this.

After a while of playing around, if you flash systemless SuperSU after forcing d2vzw lineage on it, it fixes sound for the next boot but the notification is stuck fading in and out like it's booting even if it finished long ago. I'm looking into building Lineage for d2usc, I'm new to it though.

Maybe porting from one of the other variants would be easier.

I don't think CM/Lineage is a TouchWiz ROM though.
Just realised it also points out how to port AOSP, but it says both ROMs must be the same Android version. The point of porting a d2vzw ROM to d2usc is for 7.1.1 which the d2vzw has but the d2usc doesn't. I've only seen 5.0 for the d2usc that has working sound and cellular.
Nevermind read a thread on how to convert sdat to img vise versa and modify it. I'll try it tomorrow.

FOR THOSE WITH LAG ISSUES:
You will still be rooted using this method!
(I posted this on the oreo rooting thread in a reply but making a thread so maybe more can see it!
I was well aware of the lag issues that came with using the eng kernel, but it got to the point even with all the tweaks & mods (L-speed, kernel auditor, etc.) I was still experiencing severe lag (mainly doing things like listening to music and using snapchat at the same time, phone became unusable with alot of hangs and freezes!)I was just about to flash back to stock oreo because I felt that the trade off of Root for lag wasn't balanced.
But then I remembered seeing a post in one of these threads...might've been during Nougat days or more recent oreo, I do not remember, either way, flashing the stock BL in odin would fix lag completely. I was willing to give it a shot mainly because I was going to go back to stock anyway if it didn't work and to my surprise the phone booted! After everything settled after boot, I already noticed the difference, it was substantial!
Now, if you have already fixed your lag issues by other means then you don't need to read this post! but for some that still have tried everything and you still experience extreme lag, these are the steps I took to fix mine:
1. Was rooted on @jrkruse [Rom][ALL_CARRIERS_CRG2][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid] ( the lastest one which is CRG2) -------> this is the only rom I can say this works on as I have only tried it on this rom
2. Assuming you are already running his rom and not stock oreo (if you are running stock oreo then I cannot say if this will work for you or not, I would suggest going to his rom)
3. In his OP in, [Rom][ALL_CARRIERS_CRG2][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid], download the odin files (SM-G935U_G935UUEU4CRG2.zip)
4. Extract it and find the file [BL_G935UUEU4CRG2]
5. reboot your phone into download mode and flash the stock BL
NOTE: By the time I did this I was already on @jrkruse CRG2 ROM and already rooted, so I suggest the same to avoid any unseen complication! Flash the rom using his instructions, root using his rooting guide and then try this
This worked for me great! I can say that the phone is running VERY close to stock speeds and I have not noticed a single stutter or framedrops, I even tried remaking the same situation that would cause the phone to freeze and the phone did perfectly after doing this!
Let me know if this has worked for anyone else!
Edit:
This is also fixed my heating issues as well, the phone does not get extremely hot anymore
Edit 2:
along with this fix, I have L-speed set to 'Performance' profile and governor set to interactive, no other tweaks
Wow
Works great thanks for being the man

Of course! You see a big difference with this fix?
is there any ROM/fix like this for S7 930U?

I did this on the s7 edge but looking at the s7 flat forums it looks like you can.
You'll have to be on @jrkruse [Rom][ALL_CARRIERS_CRF1][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid] from that thread (in the verizon flat forums not this forum)
Get the stock odin files from his OP (in the verizon flat forums not this forum) [G930TUVU4CRF1_G930TTMB4CRF1_TMB.zip] ----> this is what you want from his post
Extract and flash the stock BL from that zip after you have installed the ROM and rooted it with his root method
That was very helpful. I did use the suggestion you mentioned and gave noticed a difference in speed and lag. It is much more responsive
Huge difference no lag at all been running about a week now and it's running great thanks again
Just did this fix on my S7 flat and on first boot already noticed a huge difference in boot time and lag! Thanks for this!

Awesome! That's great! I saw you talking about speed in @jrkruse root thread and was going to link this to you the other day but I just didn't have the time to with life and things! I want to make this more well known to the people in that thread or actually to all S7 users! I have no idea how or why it works it just does! Was hoping to see if @jrkruse or maybe @stang5litre would try or maybe view this too! I actually first posted this on his root thread on page 64 but I didn't think many people would see it there so I decided to make a thread

Awesome! Thank you! Maybe if this fix is actually something worth noting then you can try implementing in your Rom! Orrrr maybe I'm just flattering myself but either way Thanks for taking a look! It makes a huge difference in my case and in others!
That would be awesome, I remember running your roms back in the day!

this means we can be rooted with stock kernel? is phone still booting after modifying system partiton once doing this?

No you are still on ENG kernel, this fix has nothing to do with kernel, we are flashing stock bootloader over Oreo ENG bootloader but for some reason it improves speed and decreases lag by alot
After running this for the past two days now, I can clearly say that it has helped immensely with the lag and the heat issues. My phone is running almost as fast as my Pixel and I am no where near the heat that I used to be. I am also using L speed set to performance and I have no complaints at all. I am not usually one to fall prey to the "placebo affect" where you just think it is running faster, this actually is.

Thats great to hear! I've used this for about a week and a half now and like you said the difference is night & day, wanted to share it with everyone so they could use it too!
Hey brother wondering if you did this for the updated CRG2 update and if so did it work as good as before?

I haven't updated mainly because I don't want to wipe data and reset up phone but I'm 99% sure it should work look at at the new instructions from CRG2, but just to make sure, reflash the stock bootloader after you update anyway
I tried it on my S7 flat and it gave me a nice bootloop LOL,,,,prob just a glitch cause I did the same thing as I did before and it worked so weird.

How did you do it? Did you flash new Rom then immediately flash stock BL or did you let rom boot first?
