Will it work for nk2 also?
I haven't tried any other Firmwares as of now so I don't know NI2 is fully stable

glad to see another dev putting something out there! keep it up!
(NK2 formware should work but its always recommended to use firmware for the particular rom build so they match)
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Nice to see a new developer around these parts!

15 years old?! Keep it up buddy, that's impressive! (To my dumb ass anyway, lol)
this is more curiosity than anything
if you debloated it, why is it still over 1.33 gigs in size? every debloated rom i've seen, and the one i personally made, were around 600 megs (when extreme debloat comes in), or average about 850 megs... is it the stuff you added?
For what's worth.
I tried installing this ROM 3 times and all of them failed.
I downloaded with different browsers and even transfer it from my pc to my phone, but sadly I still got the same issue.
Let's go Lollipop~
How would we install this ROM then?
I'm working on a new Lollipop Version so keep checking up. I'm also trying to fix the update-binary issue witch is proving to be difficult but I've made some progress
can you please post the NK2 stock touchwiz launcher apk or in a flashable zip format !
thanks

I had the same issue. Downloaded twice, verified md5 both times. Verified md5 again after transferring to sdcard. The uploaded file appears to be incomplete.
Hi
I Received some old S7-930F Device.
Currently it is Rooted with custom SuperMan ROM, Running over Android 8.0.0.
Basically, I want to make sure phone is up-to-date as "much as possible" in terms of:
1. Is there any android update newer than Android 8, which is stable, for Galaxy S7?
I know there's beta by lineage based on Android 10, but looking for only stable version.
If there is - Can someone please share some guide / thread with updating instructions?
2. Is there any update to baseband version?
Currently the phone runs with G930FXXU2ERG2
If there is - where can I get it, and how to install it?
Much appreciated
Thanks
No theres not sorry

I want to migrate from open beta 4 (android 10) to stable 10.3.1 ..but i have a question.
Can i do that via local upgrade without getting into encryption issues....??
Please someone reply...
Hey guys, I've applied for trail version of realme ui 3.0 and using it for a while.

Any others with this problem?
