[US996] 100% Stock deODEXd ROM

Do you have a US996, and want to be able to start modding/theming the ROM? FINE! HERE! Lol...
Please know, this is 100% stock, including kernel. Also, I do not own a US996 (but I do own the H918). This ROM has already been tested (thanks @monsieurtalbot !)
No changes on the ROM. SuperSU gets flashed alongside the ROM. Oh, and setenforce=0 is set via init.qcom.post-boot
Before proceeding. It is absolutely necessary for you to be on a stable TWRP build (currently, RC8, 3.0.2-0, and 3.0.2-1). Also, you must have already have had decrypted your ENTIRE phone. If your phone bootloops into TWRP, you probably didn't decrypt, and/or didn't flash no-verity properly, or it could also be that you are on an old TWRP build. . You have been warned.
This is for the Factory Unlocked US Cellular. Untested on the other US996.
Here we have the base NRD90M ROM from LG. The only difference from this, and what came on your phone is, that it is not ODEXd anywhere. DeODEXing basically bundles all parts of an APK together which saves space, allows for modification of the APK (like for System UI and stuff), and ever so slightly increases performance (by the littlest amount possible). This is ONLY for the US996.
Also, no need to wipe, as /system is fully removed (your apps and settings will stay since that is in /data). Since we only have 1 base from LG, ROMs don't need to be wiped, even if coming from ODEX.
Major thanks to @Chainfire for creating SuperSU
Major thanks to @jcadduono for the root exploit, AND for the TWRP image(s), AND for inspiring me to learn to do it. Also, he supplied the stock System.img, boot.img, and sources for a custom kernel!/RealMVP

SUPER happy to say I am using this currently and it is flawless. Fantastic base for our custom unlocked US996 community.
No more systemless root. This is a full root and I was finally able to delete the stupid boot sounds.
Thx for letting me be the test dummy.
Just so everyone knows I dirty flashed in TWRP from stock and I have had 0 issues. I am a heavy power user.
Everything is working as it should be.
Since it's not specified in the OP - let me make sure that everyone understands that this is for the USA Factory Unlocked US996 ONLY.
Super excited for some custom roms. =)

Moving this conversation over from the H918 thread...
I would love to see the FM working on our US996 . . .
BUT - I've had no luck flashing the available zips so far that are for the H918.
FM Service crashes - I figure the chip is there - just needs to likely be enabled on the kernel end.
SO - if you are truly looking into making us a kernel, let's put that on a likely very long todo list. lmao <3

There's another US996 for US Cellular - as we all know - so as things get released possibly for that model (which holds the same model number for whatever reason) and this thread ages - it might not be a terrible idea to exclusively specify so some poor soul down the road doesn't flash this to the wrong device... :highfive:

Shouldn't be too hard to enable in the kernel. And if it isn't in the source, it could added i guess

Any chance you could post the md5 sum for the ROM to check that we got a good download? I want to ensure a good file before flashing a new system.

It would have to be later tonight, getting ready for work now. You can just double click the zip on your pc. If it opens without an error, you are good to go.

Would you happen to have a stock ODEXed rom for US996 to post as you did for the H918?
Also, are you planning to build anything off the US996 stock deODEXed rom or is it for safety net purposes?

I was thinking about diving into the v20 world to do some dev work, though am I reading this right? Each ROM has to be based off of the system.img for each model number? That makes it hard to decide which device model to buy

I honestly am not sure, but I did this just to be safe. As it turns out, FM is not included in the US996 ROM or kernel. I don't know of any other discrepancies, but that was enough for me.
IMO the H918 is the way to go, and just Unlock it from Tmobile. But that's just my opinion.

I suppose I could upload a stock ODEXd, but, I don't see the point. :cyclops:

You're right, no point. It's early in the game, hopefully there will be a .tot or .kdz (lg equivalent of ruu) for the eventual 7.1 update.
Thanks for your efforts to date.

Can this ROM be flashed on a sprint 997 that was unlocked and rooted using the dirty Santa method?
The reason I'm asking is because that process seems to change my phone to an unlocked 996 and I want to start fresh with a stock ROM.

Well this is weird. I went to install this and TWRP is telling me I have the wrong device. It is telling me i have a 918 when I know for a fact its a 996....

It detects your model from build.prop I believe.
Can you change your model in your build.prop and retry?

Would anyone be willing on trying out a custom kernel? FM might be working. Plus other things and stuff .
I don't have a US996, so I can't test it. So be sure to have a stock boot.img and your stock /system/lib/modules folder. If this fails, you can simply flash your stock boot.img right within twrp, and then push the modules folder into /system/lib/modules. Or you can reflash the ROM.

i was able to dirty flash this straight onto my stock VS995 with the konverge kernel flashed as well and the only problem i have is the static boot but that's easily fixed

basically until the phone actually boots into the os it looks like a messed up tv showing only static colors and you cant see anything, what you do is you wait until it boots into the os and shut the screen off then hold your finger over the front camera and it fixes it and everything is normal.

Any chance you could do it, If it's not too much trouble? I'd like to install it on my F800L, if I can, and I seem to be having issues with the current deodex'd version.
If I'm honest, I have no idea if it will make any difference whatsoever, and the issue could be something completely unrelated (ihavenoideawhatimdoing), but I'd just like to try it, anyway. I got an odex'd H918 working, so It has me wondering if it makes any difference?

Nope, that's because you have the US version of the Z5 dual and it has been specifically disabled. If you want to get the fingerprint sensor working you need to flash international firmware, or there are some threads that tell you what files you need to replace. Search and you should find what you're looking for.

Then you should be fine. It might not be working occasionally because there might be a bug in the firmware you're using. My only suggestion would be to make sure you're on the latest version of the firmware for your region, or try flashing firmware from another region. I'm using Customized UK firmware and I have no issues with the fingerprint sensor. Short of that the only other option would be a hardware failure, but it sounds more like a software bug.

It looks like you're a couple firmware versions behind; the latest firmware released for your phone is 32.2.A.5.11. Since you mentioned that your phone won't automatically update itself through the software update it sounds like you may have modified your phone in such a way (i.e., unlocking the bootloader, or modifying system files) that you might have to manually flash the firmware to your phone. There is a program called Flashtool that you can use to download and flash firmware to your phone. It's a great tool and something that you can learn to use after a few minutes of reading in the support thread.
If you've made any modifications to your phone, it would be helpful to know what those are understand why your phone won't update on its own. But most likely you'll have to use Flashtool to update your phone.
EDIT: In the future if you want to see what the latest version of firmware is for your phone you can use the XperiCheck website.

Did you write all your data when you flashed the new firmware with Flashtool? Maybe try flashing again, but make sure you wipe everything so you're starting with a clean phone. Set up the phone and make sure everything works, then flash a custom kernel.

You did not explain how to install it
Through instal
Or through backup
Because I asked and did not really get an answer
So I went the way I understand
It was ZIP twice
I deleted everything and needed the file again

After repeated attempts without success
I tried to create some interest in the model H990
And I failed in a big way
So I decided to go with the flow and transfer to another phone

You didn't fail, I think the modding community just moved on from this device a long time ago, especially since the H990 got root almost a year after release when the V30 was beginning to be hyped up.
We can't thank you enough for trying, though. It's a shame that this phone didn't get the attention it deserved.

You saved me!
I would like to buy you a drink. You absolutely saved my phone!
I have an LG H990DS that was on firmware v10e-AME-XX.
Following emdroidles dirtysanta, I flashed firmware H990ds10d_00_OPEN_AME_DS_OP_1216.kdz. At step 17 I flashed h990-kernel.zip.
I ended up with a phone that would boot into TWRP but not into Android (It got stuck on the 2nd LG logo). I could use ADB and I could use Fastboot. I tried to use LGUP to reflash my firmware but download mode ended in a static screen. LGUP would not not recognise my model beyond H99010p. I tried the common.dll and the patched LGUP as well, I got nowhere.
Sadly I had not performed a backup first. After a lot of searching I got your backup to work. Here is how I did it:
1) Download the folder [2016-01-01--21-11-52_NRD90M] onto your microSD card.
2) Enter TWRP and perform a backup. (This creates a folder unique to your phone.)
3) Using TWRPs filemanager, copy the whole folder [2016-01-01--21-11-52_NRD90M] into /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/[your phones serial number here]/
4)Using the phones back button you can return to the TWRP Restore menu. AVIMPEG's backup is then available for you to download.
I at least now have a working phone. I would still like to get LGUP to recognise my phone so that I can flash the correct firmware again. Any ideas are welcome.

[DEODEXED ROM] Samsung Galaxy A8 2018 (jackpotlte) Stock Rom

So, i didn't find any Deodexed stock ROM available for this phone so i decided to make my own
This ROM is ased on the Oreo November Security Patch.
New features:
Deodexed.
Zipaligned.
Added Germany CSC to the ROM with Vodafone bloatware.
Fixed AROMA Installer error.
Nothing else lol it's stock.
Download it from this Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1tmIV0d6ItzU9BCcgSbqq4Ydfn65RJ3iX
You can flash this ROM with TWRP or use it to make your own "Custom" ROM. You have to credit me though
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES! THANKS.

The rom is very interesting, thank you Đánh giá Samsung Galaxy A8 2018: Đến gần phân khúc cao cấp

Working good! thanks

TL;DR Can I kang this and supply A530W support variant port? And maybe... kernel optimization as well as our other usual tweaks, add aroma, etc? (Perhaps some not so typical tweaks will be involved )
I am beginning work immediately to bring this rom to our neglected Canadian friends with the A530W, one of which I happen to be! So I aim to bring further features and kernel development from A530F and beyond to the A530W, so typically would post updates for both models. After initial port I wll await permission to publish, just in case. After a week or two if silent, ITS GOIN' UP BABY!
Per guideline, no ETA: I am working on it in my free time. Estimate is a week, and I'm not required to give ANY timing, so don't chew me if it's not here on time!
Key factor is this @DeadRatGames : Do I have your permission to use this "kitchen" stock rom as base, with your credit making my rom possible? Like when mum makes chicken, and ut's good but you go and turn then into some damn nice double layer nachos.
I couldn't do it without that dope chicken

The name's Ty D.

uh, I've never seen u before but that doesn't matter
you can still make this rom without a "port" cuz a530w and a530f are exactly the same, just different csc obviously, so just to "port" this rom for a530w, you can add the csc from a530w into the rom, that's all
and yes, you do have permission, it says in the end of the OP
"or use it for your own custom rom"

Per guideline, no ETA: I am working on it in my free time. Estimate is a week, and I'm not required to give ANY timing, so don't chew me if it's not here on time!
Key factor is this @DeadRatGames : Do I have your permission to use this "kitchen" stock rom as base, with your credit making my rom possible? Like when mum makes chicken, and ut's good but you go and turn then into some damn nice double layer nachos.
I couldn't do it without that dope chicken

Well yeah, of course you can use it as a base for your ROM or any other development. Just credit me at the bottom . Also this ROM already has the Aroma installer. When you have the first stable build ready send me a link to it so i can test it on my A530F universal variant. I just uploaded a more recent version of the ROM which is based on the November Security Patch. Download that instead. The only downside is that i'm currently developing a heavily tweaked version of the ROM myself. If you wish we can develop a better ROM together.

uh, I've never seen u before but that doesn't matter
you can still make this rom without a "port" cuz a530w and a530f are exactly the same, just different csc obviously, so just to "port" this rom for a530w, you can add the csc from a530w into the rom, that's all
and yes, you do have permission, it says in the end of the OP
"or use it for your own custom rom"

It doesn't have a CSC. It's just System and boot.img

ye but in system it has a folder called omc
that's csc lol
without that folder there would be problems with stuff like in the settings it shows 2 battery sections and stuff

Well yeah. Also u see t roaming and service provider in settings and battery life is decreased dramaticly.

Total noob on this stuff.
I was trying to achieve something like this just last night.
Got handed a decent 64 bit laptop so i immediately made a partition for superR's version of Ubuntu and... still reading up on the ROM stuff so i don't have to make 25 zips to get it right. Expecting 5-10 no matter what. :laugh:
My question is, what do i do with your ROM, flash a .bin file im TWRP? I thought just .zip and .img files were possible.
Also, i am guessing to not do any wipe and dirty flash?
And (last one i swear) Is it okay with Magisk or should i go back to stock, only TWRP then flash?
Thanks.

Ok 7zip, figured it out.

This is stock. Yes of course you can flash Magisk after it lol. Do not unzip the file you download. You just flash it as is. But why would you flash it anyways it's a base for developing and making something better out of it.

Yeah i looked at it with 7zip to see.
Trying to start the building process... simple ones. Just small tweaking at this point.

What do u mean looking at it with 7zip lol. It's stock you flash it with TWRP or make a custom ROM out of it.

I know now. I am trying to put together a rom with f variant to work on my w.
Still new. I can't just load any euro rom and flash it. Tried.
I will keep reading and stop with the questions.

Try flashing your Canada CSC with Odin after flashing the ROM with TWRP without booting. Go to download mode imediateltly after flashing the ROM with TWRP without rebooting into system.

Hydrogen os to OOS

Hello guys, i bought my oneplus 7 pro from china and it comes with hydrogen os and i am trying to get rid of it.
I already tried to download the official package from OnePlus website and i tried to flash it using the recovery but it gives a pop up saying that i can't downgrade.
could anyone suggest me a good way to switch to oxygen os ??
Thanks in advance!!

Probably it's because they listed a lower version there.
Head to https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/oneplus-7-pro-global-repo-oxygen-os-t3930585
Download the latest zip and use the local upgrade method.

Use fastboot mode : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
Will definitely work

convert it with the international firmware converter

I was checking the thread but i did not see anyone tried this method to change from hydrogen to oxygen, so i'm a bit confused whether to try it or not

Usually flashing the stock zip via the systems updater should work but i guess if it doesn't then download the fastboot version and try.

If you're on a newer version of hydrogen, you need to unlock bootloader to go to a lower version. Dont forget. But might be better to wait for the next update of OSS and then flash internally. To be safe. Im rather new with oneplus too

i already unlocked the bootloader, but i don't want to risk everything so i will just wait for the newer update.

I have a follow up question. I might be wrong at any step so please correct me if I am.
From what I remember, during first boot of android people are supposed to log into their google account. So if I end up flashing OOS by local update option, will they ask me to log into my google account? I'm still in China and I don't know if I can actually skip that step and keep using my phone (log into google accounts later on after I connect to my VPN).
I don't want to risk changing OS and not being able to use my phone until I leave China.

So far I did not install OOS. My H2OS is too fresh and I still need to wait a bit for new OOS updates. However I'm getting 2nd one for my grandfather tomorrow and I'll check how it goes then.
Yes, I'm in TJ.
