Greetings!
ROMs for the two variants of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016, 10.1") with S Pen:
WiFi+Cellular (SM-P585Y) gtanotexllte (other variants, SM-P585, SM-P585N0, SM-P585M etc. not tested for ROM compatibility)
http://www.samsung.com/sg/tablets/galaxy-taba-p585/SM-P585YZWAXSP/WiFi only (SM-P580) gtanotexlwifi (even this has not been tested since I don't have this device)
http://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/owners/product/SM-P580NZKAXAR
Disclaimer: No warranties, stated or implied. Flashing a custom ROM might void your warranty. If you download the ROM & use it, you do so at your own risk. The author or XDA are not liable for any issues arising out of the usage of this ROM.
Different people have different requirements, so I have made available two versions of the ROM:
- Lite (heavily debloated with almost all Samsung apps removed, since I don't use them)
- Full (No debloat/no apps removed, apart from Knox)
Current version - Nougat 7.0 ROM v2 (rooted with Magisk 13.3)
Download Nougat 7.0 ROM v2 for SM-P580 WiFi only
Lite: Google Drive
Full: Google Drive
Download Nougat 7.0 ROM v1 for SM-P585Y WiFi+Cellular
Lite: Google Drive
Full: Google Drive
Previous versions - Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROMS (no further development):
Download Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM v2 for SM-P585Y WiFi+Cellular (its somewhere between lite & full)
Mega, Mediafire, Dropbox,
Download Marchmallow 6.0.1 ROM v1 for SM-P580 WiFi only
Lite: Dropbox
Full: Dropbox
(Additional disclaimer: I don't have the WiFi only tab, so I cannot test this ROM. It underwent the same process as the WiFi+Cellular model, which I do have, so it should be okay. If you encounter any issues, please let me know.)
Pre-requisites:
Enable Developer options by going to Settings -> About device -> Software info -> click 7 times on 'Build number'.
Now go to Settings -> Developer options -> Turn on 'OEM Unlock' & 'USB Debugging' if not already done so.
Caution: The stock ROM has Verifed Boot enabled with device-mapper-verity (dm-verity) kernel feature, which prevents a successful bootup if it detects any modification to the original setup. See details. This needs to be disabled if you need to install a custom recovery, or a custom ROM.
Download dm-verity disabler:
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
Download TWRP recovery:
LTE version - https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytaba101lte2016spen.html
WiFi version - https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytaba101wifi2016spen.html
Instructions - Install TWRP Recovery & flash DM-Verity disabler:
Transfer the downloaded file 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip' to SD card or OTG USB drive.
Download Odin 3.12.3 or any recent version.
Shutdown your tab.
Use Power+Volume Down+Home to reach the Download screen & then press Volume Up to confirm.
Use the AP section to flash the TWRP recovery.
After installing TWRP via Odin, uncheck auto reboot & manually go into TWRP to install the file 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip'
THEN, format /data, DON'T wipe it.
Booting to the stock ROM AFTER installing TWRP without doing this will show you a Verification failed warning, asking you to reset to factory defaults, since you basically overwrote Samsung's default recovery with TWRP, so it is cross with you.
Instructions - Install ROM:
Copy ROM to SD card or OTG USB drive (TWRP can have issues reading the internal storage)
Insert the SD card or OTG USB drive into the tab (very important!)
Press Power + Volume Up + Home & keep them pressed till you reach the TWRP splash screen
Swipe right to allow modification
Install 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip' from SD card or OTG USB drive
Format /data
From Advanced Wipe, wipe Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Internal Storage & Cache
Install the ROM, no need to wipe again since we already wiped & formatted in TWRP
Remember to remove the tick mark against reboot before clicking next, do NOT reboot yet!
Wipe Dalvik/ART cache (yes, again, after ROM install)
NOW, Reboot
Let the ROM boot, give it time
Install any extra applications you need
Bugs/Limitations & Workarounds:
Some APKs have been removed as part of the deknox/debloat, however, the appropriate system level modifications have not been touched in order to remain as close to stock as possible. So if you try to change a setting which relies on the removed feature, the appropriate app might force close, or it may continue to wait for the missing app. This is expected. Currently I have no plans to correct this behavior.
Software updates will not work.
Google Play Services might force close, so you will need to update it.
Samsung notes may force close out of the box. Just update it from Google Play Store. It will work after that. (zayi)
Accessibility service doesn't work on the debloated/lite ROM. Just use any third party keyboard like Swiftkey/Google Gboard etc & then enable the service for the application you desire. (zayi)
ROM features: See post # 2
Extra recommendations for ROM & App recommendations: See post # 3
XPOSED (was only tested on Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM, NOT on Nougat 7.0):
Xposed framework v86.1 (you can then upgrade to v87)
Xposed Installer v3.1
Xposed modules & other stuff

Extra recommendations for the tab:
Since SM-P585Y doesn't have a huge internal storage, just 16 GB, out of which, only ~9 GB is left for the user, you may want to use adoptable storage to use your SD card as internal storage. Go to this thread by ashyx to enable adoptable storage, whereby you have the option to convert your SD card as an internal storage unit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/patch-adoptable-storage-enabler-t3507387. The only caveat is that it formats & converts the whole SD card for use as internal storage & you won't be able to pop the card out & use it on your PC to transfer data, you will need to transfer data via the USB cable just like you would for the internal storage.
Go to Developer options & turn off Windows, Transitions & Animator animations. It would visibly speed up your tab slightly by cutting down on the slight delay introduced by the animations.
App recommendations (Free in Play Store):
'Xodo PDF Reader & Editor' for PDF annotation
'INKredible - Handwriting Note' for taking notes with guaranteed beautiful handwriting

Can we instal xposed in these ROM?
Gosh, saw a stock rom for the s pen model and got excited, until I saw it was the P585 only =[
Merry Christmas LTE guys!

I went too far in my debloating, which doesn't play nice with formatting /data, so I've added some stuff back & christened the new ROM v2. Uploading, should be up shortly. I've installed Xposed on it. Looks okay.
EDIT: New ROM v2 uploaded.
I don't use Xposed much, however, I was able to install:
Xposed framework ver 86.1
Xposed Installer ver 3.1
Modules: Xposed edge & Gravitybox (MarshMallow)
It seems to be behaving itself, don't see any errors in my rudimentary testing.

LOL, Merry Christmas, WiFi folks.
I don't think there's much difference between the WiFi & LTE models apart from the SIM module , so if you're feeling brave, you can try to install it.
Otherwise let me try to look up the WiFi ROM & cook t the same way. Your tab would have to be the guinea pig though.
By the way, which is the software version for P580? I saw this one online: P580KXU1APJ1 from November 2016. Any release after that?

Yes, that is an acknowledged bug.
However, I recently installed Xposed framework, Xposed installed & a couple of Xposed modules. Afterwords I again applied the dm-verity & no-ecryption zip and then again formatted data. Now Samsung Notes is back up running. Wondering, whether that has anything to do with Xposed, or the data format...
If you haven't setup a ton of apps, maybe you can just try to install the zip & format data to see if Samsung Notes works... However, it will mean starting from scratch again in terms of setting up your tab...

Sorry, I removed TTS in my haste to debloat the ROM, since I don't use it.
I guess if you do need it, maybe I can upload another version of the ROM with zero debloat, which doesn't have any apps removed. It would be same as stock in terms of apps, but you still have the other features.
Let me know.

I've created two ROMs for the WiFi model, based off the build P580ZSU1APJ3:
- Lite (heavily debloated, with almost all Samsung apps removed, Air Command removed too)
- Full (only Knox removed, all other apps remain as it is, Air Command works)
So now both 2016 S-Pen tab models are equally represented. No partiality any longer.
Jp
Appreciate the work. Is it possible to have a lite version with just the s-pen functionality left in or is that dependent on too many other apps? Or, is there an apk that can be downloaded to re-enable air command?

LOL, thanks. Its just selective debloat. Just more work, that's all.
These are APK's, but system apps, not user apps, so normal install like other apps may not work as intended, might be more messy, even if it works.
Air Command, the feature to pop up a selection of commands targeted towards the S Pen, is not a feature I find terribly useful. When I take out the S Pen, I use it for two purposes:
- Take handwritten notes with INKredible app.
- Annotate PDF's with Xodo.
Air Command just gets in the way, I have to dismiss it, causing one more S Pen click or back button key press. And keeps on showing the translucent button, which I can sometimes press inadvertently. Apart from Clock (I just like the white icon by Samsung, instead of horrible pale purple clock icon by Google), I just replace all the Samsung apps with the ones by Google. Hence the heavily debloated approach. I understand, Samsung Notes, with it OneNote like functionality might appeal to some people, the automatic prompt might appear cool too, even if its not for me.
Let me see what I can do, maybe a third, not-so-lite & not-so-full ROM. No ETA's though.

The tablet is my wifes and she uses this feature on the tab and her note - wouldn't be able to convince her to switch to a slimmed down rom without it

Could those users having other variant devices other than the "S" model please post your partition block number for system, data, and cache. I eventually intend to include your devices in a Note Edge "universal" tool. Later on, intend to also add your carrier bloatware as well.
Hello there, if you can tell us a way (noob's guide) to retrieve those numbers. That'll speed things up

Lots of ways. Terminal, root type file explorer and app.
Easiest way for you might be to install DiskInfo app from Google Play

Attached v1.1 TEST version.
Warning: I have not tested properly and researched all in the "TEST" section. Up to you to decide for now as I have to head away for a few days.

I'll try take a look on when i return on the weekend and sort out the "Test" v1.1 and then look to include the G model not long after. Will need help and input to identify the various "carrier" specific bloatware though. That's including the exact apk name and install location.
After using this tool and removing the bloatware, will we have problems installing firmware Updates?

No. You can always flash manually with Odin. You cares about KIES and OTA.....
If you mean OTA, of course if you remove certain (updater) parts of your ROM.
Won't OTA have issues ifsome apps are removed?
Of course we can update by Odin. If we update the firmware then we can remove the bloaware again right?

[A1] Already answered in previous post. ....
[A2] Yes, will need to flash CWM recovery again though because the firmware package usually has stock recovery included. If you need, obviously re-root via CWM recovery or CF-Auto-Root method

Followed the 3 steps instructions, My SM-N915S is now rooted and flashed with the CWM 6-0-5-1
How do I proceed from here?
What do I do with the Bloatware Remover .ZIP file or is it already implemented into the CWM recovery that I just used for the flash?
How do I start the Aroma Bloatware Remover process?
Thanks,

It is WORKING......
Is there a chance to have the ROM uploaded?
Dear UpInTheAir,
Nice tool you created and it is doing the job. Thanks for that!
Nevertheless, my device is still FULL of Korean language all over,
(The weather widget, the dialer, boot screen, etc.)
Will the rom you created enable us to wipe out the Korean from the device?
Did you give up trying to load your customized rom or is there still a chance to see it here?
Thanks so much,
Matty

System and app language is not bloatware.
You need to decompile various system apk and smali edit etc. That is quite difficult with so much entwined into the framework and without causing allot of errors. Some png might be able to replace without decompiling though.
No, the ROM was only basic and was intended to stay that way. I don't actually enjoy playing with ROM and more time than i have for it.
Yes, i gave up. ....
Great tool, thanks for your effort on this.
I've used this with the latest November rom and have removed all carrier software and quite a few bits of google and samsung as well. I still find battery life quite poor with Android system and Android OS eating nearly half the battery life. Huge list of packages in System including IMS DM, Perso, Beaming service, Selfie alarm, Samsung Mirrorlink, Wallpaper picker (must be near 50). Is this just the downside of Touchwiz or fairly normal.

I have v1.2 almost ready. Been sidetracked on other things.
V1.2 is now up
Now UNIVERSAL for common Stock & Google bloatware for all deodex/odex variants (hopefully).
As I can't test others except for SM-N915S, so I'll require feedback.
For OTHER VARIANTS: You will have to tell me the exact name (case sensitive) and path (location) for carrier specific bloatware. Without, I cannot add to the tool

Rooted Phone
Deodexed Phone
Removed Bloatware Apps that was preloaded to the phone
Speeded up the Boot Time
Removed Boot Animation
Freed Up System Memory
Unlocked WiFi Tethering for unlimited use! (HOT SPOT)

1. Copy ZIP file to a external SD Card first (CAN NOT INSTALL FROM INTERNAL SD!)
2. Reboot phone into Custom Recovery
3. Make a complete backup to the External SD Card (I recommend using TWRP for this!)
4. Install The Zip File that is on your External SD Card (This Can take a little bit to install so don't worry it works!)
5. Reboot into System from Recovery
6. Done!
Concerns About Mobile Data:
If you are experiencing issues with your data connection not working after installing this ROM try using the activate phone in the settings if this doesn't work then do a factory reset and re-root the phone using the latest SuperSU.zip file. This will solve any issues certainly!
Future Plans:
1. Set Permisssive Mode to the ROM
2. Add some more kernel tweaks
3. Add Apps2SD Support
4. Add custom Pandora APK
5. Add Facebook/ Facebook Messsenger APKS
6. Remove PDA Update from Final Release

Starchild2k's Samsung Galaxy J700P Custom Rom
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information about ROM:
This a Custom ROM I built myself using SuperR's kitchen! There has been a lot I have managed to do to this ROM making it the best one for the J700P yet by far! I am very much so in the picture still for a CM13 release still working on it as we speak. In the meantime I have been working on a ROM that was made purely from the latest Stock ROM that was released for this phone. I left the system.prop alone to prove that it was in fact stock and if there was any future updates for this phone you would know and be able to get them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tweaks Done:
Rooted Phone
Deodexed Phone
Removed Bloatware Apps that was preloaded to the phone
Speeded up the Boot Time
Removed Boot Animation
Freed Up System Memory
Unlocked WiFi Tethering for unlimited use! (HOT SPOT)
Various System Tweaks used from Xposed Installer for system stability
Completely Removed KNOX!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Preloaded Apps Included:
SuperSU (Already ROOTED)
Xposed Installer With Preloaded Apps (Youtube, System, TWEAKS)
Subsonic Music Streamer with exclusive access to my music server for free!

Nice with bro
I'm really enjoying using this rom. Everything is smooth for the most part, but there are times when the UI will reset, or it will freeze up at times when I'm on Youtube or Instagram.
I installed SeLinux Mode Changer, and used it to make the device permissive. It doesn't seem to be sticking on reboot though, which sucks cause I want Viper4Android active on my device.
But these are all nitpicks. I really do enjoy using this rom, keep doing your thing. Anxiously anticipating the finished out of beta version, man. Thanks for all you've contributed towards the J700P development, man.
I wouldnt worry about the SystemUI errors on Youtube I believe these are issues with xposed Installer with all the modules I preloaded and I will look into these issues and I will definitely have permissive mode released in my final release then on to finish CM13 and then CM14!

thank you for the work on the 700P version. will be installing soon!
Bro your google account is on here. And so is your contacts and call logs. Other than that great rom.
Well this is a nice alternative for now. Less mess to get involved. Thank you sir.

Add Titanium if you can. I only say that so people can keep backups without having to Fandangle with adding it. Unless you have advice on another type?

I plan on releasing the final version soon and i will add the rebuild of twrp which you can do a complete backup of the phone through recovery but sure i can add titanium if you like no problem
TBH any way you make this is fine. I'm just glad to see the stock surpassing its potential. Reminds me of @Curtis1973 with his custom stock ROM mod for the LG Volt Last year. So many thanks to you. You and @minz1 pretty much kept this model in the loop of modifications.
1. Set Permisssive Mode to the ROM - don't, permissive has a bunch of secuirty compromises
2. Add some more kernel tweaks - okay
3. App Apps2SD Support - ok
4. Add custom Pandora APK - that can be added easily. don't debloat then rebloat your ROM
5. Add Facebook/ Facebook Messsenger APKS - ^
6. Remove PDA Update from Final Release - ok
Haha thats so funny u metioned the lg volt i worked on that phone as well i still have a volt i think it stopped on cm12.1 but i did want to rerelease and revise it to cm13 as well but for now i want to put all efforts towards the J7 on getting a stable cm13 and cm14 build
Is this the best stable Rom for the J700P to date? I've been looking for a good one for a lil bit now. So far from what I have read that it has everything that I'm looking for. Will flash this jewel soon if it's a go

Its better to set permissive mode on a kernel for scripts/mods to run better but if security is a issue i will put some antivirus like malwarebytes on it as far as pandora it wouldnt be bloatware at all it would be a custom version that can download songs by hitting a tumbs up and it also would have no ads and unlimited skips
Heck ya. I use the Pandora download version and its great. The main feature I saw was the bypass WiFi hotspot lol. I have a HTC desire I use for GPS only so I would like to wifi this phones data to it. Get live traffic updates and so on.

They made it to 13 on the Volt... I ended up making 6 'remix roms' that fixed the camera issue (KitKat)
They used LgG2 mini sources to get the phone up and running. Anyway.... Y'all got this.

You might want to look at this: download any format, no ads, background playback, and pop out window mode. Just a minimal amount to read to get it working.
Working on getting selinux to permissive permanently now!
See that's the things I like, modded stuff. Anyone have any other useful links or websites?

Does look to be off to an excellent start doesnt it? i gave it a 5 to encourage everyone involved to carry on with it. :good: i am in my own struggle at the moment on a new Alcatel device. The A621BL. Alcatel has it in beast mode with crippled fast boot among other over board protection issues. But root is not to far away.
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery - use my twrp
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Magisk (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and Magisk
Information
This is native tablet port with normal keyboard, animations and other stuff.
My port based on:
framework and apps: T510XXU1ASCE and T515XXU1ASCK (new Tab A 10.1 SM-T510\515) Android 9.0 with 2019-03-01 security patch
libs and etc: A600NKSU1ZSB6 (SM-M105F) Android 9.0 with 2019-02-01 security patch
kernel: based on M105FDDU1ASB2 (SM-M105F) Android 9.0 3.18.91
Additional
1. Added OC for CPU (1690MHz - Kernel Adiutor, EX Kernel Manager) and GPU (default 1001, in OC 1146MHz - EX Kernel Manager)
2. Added themes from A600N
3. new wlan driver driver 4.0.10.206A_20181017 (from A600FNXXU3BSC5)

Magisk
Before run Magisk installer in TWRP - you need run small script - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZnnKHtDAl0ioHjQXiNO6wErZN8odsO0P/view?usp=sharing
It's simply unmount /cache partition and then mount it as /vendor. After run the script, you can install Magisk. If Magisk Manager does not appear in the list of apps - extract magisk.apk from Magisk installer and manually install it.

Thanks
Thanks to Samsung
good morning Valera! I've been waiting for this a lot, since Samsung Pie is very good rom, I've already downloaded and flashed it. I just had time to try the basics and everything seems to work and the Ui is nice. Then I will make a good revision. Thank you very much for your great works!
@Valera1978 First of all, thanks for the great Pie port. Tab feels brand new, smooth. One thing I have found is the Themes/Wallpapers don't work. It will download wallpapers but when you go to apply, all you see is a black square, and nothing is applied. If it is an animated one for lock screen, it fc's the systemui when you try. Not a big deal as I can always apply wallpapers from my own collection. This is only issue so far and I have a feeling there won't be many more if any. Thanks for your works!!!
great job from shortcomings is at present a problem with the keyboard
I like this rom, it seems clean and pretty and I would like to be able to install magisk but I do not understand how to do it, could you explain it ?. Thank you
Bootloop
I tried this on my T580 coming from RR latest Pie ROM. Backed up ROM, factory reset wipe and installed just the wifi port. Wiped dalvic and rebooted. Bootloops at first Samsung screen. What did I do wrong?
edit: Never mind. Used Advanced Wipe for everything but Internal and SD. Booting now.
Great rom. Thanks for your effort.
Looks good thank you.
Are there other people who get a failed when they try to sign in the Samsung account?
In the pie_t510_t580_port there are the follwing settings that don't work or crashes, or don't belong in the wifi version and if it's possible should be removed.
T-roaming
Service provider
Mobile networks
Also in the About tablet there is some LTE version information
There is also the mobile hotspot settign in the connections
Cellphone signal icon in the at the top next to the wifi signal
These are for when you have the LTE version
Great work man!!! Thanks for your work!!

I imagine that if you were to give the dev a P585, he might have a reason to port and a device to test it on. Otherwise, he has neither. I've seen this request many times, where someone with a different device, asks a dev to support theirs, and it never succeeds.
My personal hotspot isn't working after my first reboot... though I've uninstalled every 3rd party app.
Edit: It comes after installing Magisk.
EDIT 2: I've tried to reboot without installing any apps twice, and the problem appears, I only need hotspot for hosting an offline game with friends, like Bombsquad.
Is it debloated?

Sort of...
This ROM needs more focus though, it's faster than the stock Oreo, but has weird bugs...
To solve that keyboard bug switch to the phone interface through build.prop editor,
Edit the line: ro.build.characteristics=tablet to phone instead of tablet.
Then add the languages you want then revert back the changes after finishing.
About that hotspot bug, I don't know, but can't we just use the stock kernel and wifi instead? What's the use of the new one?
About the Secure Folder, there's a way to set it up by modifying the kernel, and we never had it on our own device, we only got it on S7.
But there's a small question... do we have a chance to get a Samsung 64-bit ROM on our device? Because the Play Store will shut down on 32-bit devices in August 2021, though this device is 64-bit.
Is it really much faster than stock 8.1? None of the roms I've tried so far have been, the ui lags and battery takes a hit I assume as it's running harder to keep up

That's because it's overclocked, and it generally feels way smoother like the stock Nougat ROM, there are some annoying bugs though, some camera apps can't access the camera, and the Hotspot doesn't work after installing some apps and rebooting, looks like it's not Magisk to blame, that doesn't happen in the stock though.
So I'm waiting until the OP replies or gives us an update hopefully.
I've tried the hotspot in the A600N port and it works properly! Why not here in this port? I think due to the presence of numerous Korean carrier options and maybe the Wi-Fi Sharing, when it's enabled, the hotspot doesn't work, even if disabled and rebooted. So you should remove these options, I guess?
I use SwiftKey beta as a side keyboard, testing the puppets, they are working in the stock ROM, but in both Pie ports, though I've allowed camera permission, the app can't load puppets, and that is not just present in SwiftKey, it is present also in some apps, it may be a missing Pie support, hopefully.
And thankfully, there are no camera modes, just front and back camera,
When I switch modes in this port, it force closes immediately,
and the Photo editor works properly in the A600N port, but not in this port, when I switch the filter it gives me a black screen instead
The only thing that annoys me is that the tablet interface of the A600N is not as great as this port, landscape mode is better here, because this port has tablet framework.
So, I wish this port gets more attention than it deserves, thank you Valera1978 for your great contributions! Hope you focus on this port, well more than you do with LineageOS!
Work on P580 ??
This is derived from the latest N910F UK BTU stock Marshmallow v6.0.1 firmware.
Some info:
PDA/AP (ROM firmware) version: N910FXXU1DRI2
CSC code: N910FBTU1DRJ1 (BTU)
Modem/CP/baseband version: N910FXXS1DQA1
There is no multi-CSC support, it is too much work to add. If you need a different CSC besides BTU, then you should consider @_alexndr's DevBase, @Andycar's ROM, etc. They are based on older firmware, but should work fine. Having this ROM's BTU CSC may mean that carrier-specific features like VOLTE/wifi calling/etc may or may not work. I think the BTU CSC should work fine for most.
Why am I doing this? Well, for one, noone has posted (to my knowledge) a deodexed version of this firmware. And 2nd, as a baseline modding resource for other users, I only ask that I'm given credit for providing the files.
Old zips:
I've taken the N910FXXU1DRI2 stock firmware from SamMobile, deodexed it with SuperR's Kitchen, and created a TWRP-flashable firmware/ROM zip. It is only deodexed, no other changes have been made, nothing has been removed. All stock bloat/Knox is present. It isnt rooted, but you may root it with Magisk/SuperSU/Phh's Superuser. The kernel is pure stock, but you may flash a custom kernel afterwards if you wish. This ROM should pass SafetyNet even without Magisk/SuperSU, as long as you dont flash something like Xposed. Private Mode will not work with this zip out of the box, you will need to flash the modded Private Mode zip to get it to work. You should only use this zip if you just want a deodexed ROM with no additional changes. Flash from TWRP. This zip only includes the stock boot.img and a deodexed system.img.
There is now a 2nd version of this, it is based on the original N910FDeodex.zip, but converted from raw img format to set_metadata format. This version will only flash the used portion of the system partition into /system, resulting in less write hits. If you want a deodexed only version of this ROM with no further changes, then use the set_metadata version. These 2 zips are otherwise identical.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682928982
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682917301
New revised zip (deodexed, debloated, Knox removed, GApps removed, some minor changes):
This is almost the same as the above zip. Everyone should use this new zip, unless they only want a zip that is deodexed only with no further changes. Private Mode will work out of the box. You will also be able to pass SafetyNet with or without Magisk/SuperSU.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682924674
See the following post for what's removed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83379549&postcount=38
And this one too. It includes an optional debloat script that removes even more:

Link to script:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682925297
Install order for revised zip:
1. Wipe system/data/cache and flash ROM zip
2. Flash my revised debloat script if you want it
3. Flash latest OpenGApps ARM 6.0 nano zip (dont use anything higher, system apps like Messages/Tags/dialer will be removed if you do!)
4. Flash Google Contacts Sync Adapter zip from Extras section (to avoid "Android is optimizing" on every boot)
5. Check /system/app/WebViewGoogle, /system/priv-app/GooglePackageInstaller, and /system/priv-app/Tags, make sure they're not deleted. If they are, flash the appropriate zips from Extras section
6. Flash any other extras you want
7. Flash custom kernel (optional)
8. Flash root (optional)
9. Reboot into ROM
For MicroG users:
1. Wipe partitions, flash ROM zip.
2. Flash my revised debloat script if you want it.
3. Flash MicroG installer zip. Signature spoofing patch is already built into ROM.
4. Flash play store, backup transport, calendar sync adapter, Google dialer, maps/media effects/widevine libraries, deodexed google contacts sync adapter, google keyboard and swype libraries. These are optional.
5.Flash any other extras you want
6. Flash custom kernel (optional)
7. Flash root (optional)
8. Reboot into ROM
Note: In my tests, ROM didnt pass SafetyNet with MicroG installed. but it did pass when I flashed OpenGApps. This means the fail is due to something in MicroG. Ask in the MicroG XDA thread for help.
Another note: I only used the official APKs from MicroG website, permissions XML file from MicroG Installer Revived, and Play Store APK from APKMirror. You can update MicroG if/when they release new APKs.
Make sure to follow these steps in the order I've listed them!
You only need to use my stock boot image and kernel library modules zip if:
1. Before you flash a custom kernel
2. Before flashing root (skip my zip if you are already using custom kernel)
You can also get rid of a custom kernel/root by flashing this zip. But it is advised that you use Magisk uninstaller zip first. Or to delete SuperSU, you can use the unSU zip by @osm0sis. Then flash my zip.
If you get an error in TWRP when flashing either of these zips, this probably means your MicroSD card is using the GPT partition table, instead of MBR. My advice is to use SD Card Formatter tool to format your SD, then copy the ROM zip onto it and try to flash the zip again. If this doesnt work, post the exact error here.
If you used the "nand erase all" option in Odin, it is advised to format data/cache in TWRP *BEFORE* flashing the ROM zip. Look at the Mount button in TWRP and see if they are checked. If they are, then all is good. If not, use the wipe/format data functions until they are checked. I advise using nand erase all because it cleans data/cache of incompatible data. Especially recommended if you are coming from different firmware/custom ROM.
Please only do clean flashes! Dirty flashes not supported! Do not report bugs if you have dirty flashed! Do not report bugs if you are using other mods like Xposed (or root), etc! Clean flash with no changes, then post here if the bug is still present.
Additional firmware-related files:
My N910FXXU1DRI2 mini firmware package. This includes all files from the stock firmware package with the exception of the boot, system, and cache partitions. This is intended to be flashed before flashing my ROM zip. Boot/system arent needed because they are included in the ROM zip. Cache also isnt needed because its' contents (the UK BTU CSC code) is already processed into the system.img. This package also includes the latest official TWRP recovery, instead of the stock recovery. I would advise that you flash this file before flashing the ROM zip, but it may only be necessary if the ROM fails to boot (which means your installed firmware is an incorrect/incompatible version).
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682917321
You need Odin (version 3.12.7 recommended), Samsung USB drivers, and a Windows PC. In Odin, select the "nand erase all" and select the tar file in the AP slot. Also uncheck the autoreboot box. Leave everything else as-is. Once it is flashed, wait a minute or 2 before unplugging phone from PC.
Once you've done this, pull battery from phone, put it back in, then use VolUp+Home+Power to boot into TWRP. From there you can flash the ROM zip.
Pure stock firmware N910FXXU1DRI2. This is identical to what you would get from SamMobile, I have not modded the firmware in any way. I have only recompressed the tar file so that the total overall download size is smaller. Unpack the 7z file with 7-Zip/WinRAR/some other software, then flash the tar file from Odin. Flashing instructions are the same as above. You only need this if you want a truly clean start with nothing whatsoever changed. This file can be used alone without the others, or it can be flashed before the stock ROM zip. This file does not include TWRP. If you intend on flashing the stock ROM zip, I would suggest using my mini firmware package instead.
Note: I've deleted this file, you can find it in my N910FXXU1DRI2 mega firmware collection thread.
N910FXXU1DRI2 pit file. This file is to be flashed with Odin, if you need to repartition the device. Only use it with a full, official firmware package, like the one from above. I extracted it from my device with TWRP, it is not changed in any way. Most people generally wont need this. Only use this on an N910F, it may brick other devices!!! You've been warned!

38. stock_others.xml: This is is default others.xml with no added icons in the statusbar quick pulldown menu. Rename to others.xml (all lowercase), copy file to /system/csc/, set permissions to 0644. It is preferred that you do this from TWRP. root file manager will work too, but the owner and UID values must be 0 (root). You must factory reset before the icons will go back to default settings
39. SPlanner Calendar app and widget: Restores stock calendar and widget
40. Stock Tags (NFC) system app: Flash this if the OpenGApps zip removes /system/priv-app/Tags
41. Voice recorder: Restores stock voice recorder app
42. Stock wallpapers: Restores NoiseField and PhaseBeam wallpapers
43. System daydreams apps: Restores stock daydreams apps
44. Tap and pay widget: restores widget that lets you choose payment method
45. Google backup transport: needed by MicroG users, if they want contacts/calendar sync to work. OpenGApps users dont need this
46. Google calendar sync adapter: For MicroG users. Must also flash Google Backup Transport zip. OpenGApps users dont need this
47. Google Dialer: Installs GDialer and other files it needs to work. This is for MicroG users. OpenGApps users can just install GDialer from Play Store instead
48. Google Maps/media effects/widevine libraries: For MicroG users. Some apps wont work without these. OpenGApps users dont need this.
49. Original deodexed Google Contacts Sync Adapter: For MicroG users and OpenGApps users. MicroG users must also flash Google Backup Transport zip. This APK prevents the "Android is optimizing" message on every boot.
50. Google keyboard and Swype libraries: For MicroG users. Installs GBoard, and Swype libraries that other keyboards can use. OpenGApps users dont need this, they can just install GBoard from Play Store.
51. RBoard Theme Manager: This is an app that lets you install optional themes for Gboard. Gboard has a few default themes you can pick, this app lets you install dozens more. Along with sound effects. This app needs root. You dont need to install the RBoard magisk module separately
52. Patched build.prop for RBoard Themes Manager: This zip includes an edited build.prop so that RBoard can work. And empty /system/etc/gboard_theme folder. Rboard installs themes into this folder. Flash this before installing RBoard APK
Other mods I've done:
1. Remove Smart Manager v3. Now you will see "Power Saving" instead of "Battery" in settings
2. Adblocking hosts file integrated
3. Modded Private Mode APK by @TEKHD (now it turns on). However, PM may still break with certain custom kernels, or if you install other mods/changes I havent mentioned
4. Added 27 toggles in the statusbar (pull down to see them). Restore my default others.xml if you dont want them
5. Changed ro.securestorage.support from true to false in build.prop. Apparently Private Mode and SHealth work better when this value is false
Other notes:
Custom kernels: I would recommend FlashPoint kernel, v3 or v4 is fine. I dont recommend Ram Kernel. It is stable, but it has a bug where mobile data will stop working after awhile. It just cuts out, only a reboot will fix it...really annoying. This especially tends to happen when doing big downloads. Other kernels may work too, but i havent tried them. if you install a custom kernel, i'm not responsible if things break, like Private Mode/SafetyNet!
SafetyNet: My revised ROM zip will pass SafetyNet without root. This means you can use Pokemon Go, Netflix, banking apps, etc. There are SN checker apps out there, install one and run the test, should pass. It should also pass even with Magisk installed (it does for me). I didnt test with SuperSU, but if you install it in systemless mode, it might pass SN...no gaurantees. However, if you install Xposed, SN will definitely break. Other mods may or may not break it. I'm not responsible!
2 new additions (modded FlashPoint kernels):
With @kevintm78's permission, I am posting modded zips of FlashPoint v3.1 and FlashPoint v4 beta. They are based on the following zips:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291697438
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657582253
See the FlashPoint XDA thread for details on these kernels.
I did this for the following reasons:
1. The original zips have init.d related scripts in the boot.img that remount system partition to read/write on every boot. This is fine...but it prevents most Magisk modules from working (they cant bind mount into the system partition because of the remount).
The original zips also appear to flash BusyBox into the system partition. In addition to this, there is init.d stuff in the boot images. These 2 things can potentially cause SafetyNet to fail.
I have made the following changes:
1. Removed BusyBox installer zips (install it manually if needed, or use Magisk's systemless BusyBox module)
2. Removed Magisk installer zips (because they are very old)
3. Removed init.d functionality from the boot images (this involved deleting 2 scripts, and deleting a line from init.rc)
4. Removed some unnecessary ui_print and set_progress lines from the updater-script files
If you need init.d support in the kernel, then use @osm0sis's Kernel init.d Support Injector zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3761907&d=1464187934
Flashing order:
1. Flash either of my custom Flashpoint zips
2. Flash Kernel init.d Support Injector zip
3. Flash root
You can also use Magisk for script execution support on boot instead. SuperSU also has su.d scripts support which works like init.d. I still prefer init.d in the kernel (I'm old school), but others may not.
Kernel Adiutor app is the recommended way of configuring these kernels. Both of the modded zips have the extended battery patches built in, so if you have an extended battery (like me), then the kernels will support it fully. If you just have a stock battery, no worries. i've tried both batteries with these kernels, found no difference in battery life or % displaying correctly.
I cant gaurantee that SafetyNet will pass with my modded zips, I had Xposed installed when I tested them. But i think it should. If you're using Magisk on top of these modded kernels, try turning on Magisk Hide, then run a SN test.
Besides the changes I've listed, nothing else is changed, everything should work pretty much the same as the original FP zips. Report kernel issues in the FP XDA thread if you run into problems, but mention that you're using my zips.

Awesome work!!! @AnonVendetta Nice to see development for the Note 4 in 2020. Much appreciated and I thank you.
this is really great news!
thanks a lot for your efforts, I do love my N4, it can't be simply replaced because of removable battery and s-pen...
I would like to make shure not to run into trouble and kindly ask for a short confirmation if I understand all the info in your first post correctly:
my phone info current status:
android 5.1.1 - N910FXXS1COK1 - TWRP 3.4 - rooted
my target is a rooted Android 6 stock ROM
action:
1. I directly flash your deodexed TWRP-flashable ROM with TWRP.
2. I check if the phone boots correctly.
The result is: I now have a unrooted StockFW still with my TWRP in place.
2. I flash Stock N910FXXU1DRI2 boot.img with Odin in order to be able to successfully flash Magisk via TWRP. (isn't it possible to flash the boot.img also with TWRP?)
3. I now flash latest Magisk.
thanks and best wishes,
Su
@suse_: it's been a long time since I ran KitKat/Lollipop on the Note 4. For your situation, I believe the following steps will work. Since you are coming from much older firmware, flashing the ROM zip alone will almost certainly not boot, because of your older bootloader:
1. Flash my mini firmware package. This will upgrade the bootloader, modem, etc to what is compatible with the ROM. My mini firmware will overwrite your TWRP with latest TWRP, no need to flash TWRP separately.
2. Flash my ROM zip from TWRP. Be sure to wipe data/cache. While it boots, wait up to 20 mins. Because the ROM is deodexed, the 1st boot will take much longer. This is the nature of deodexed ROMs. If it hasnt booted in 20 mins, or bootloops/autoreboots...
Then you should try flashing the full, official firmware package in Odin. You can flash my ROM zip after this, but you dont need to, however you will end up with an odexed ROM if you dont.
Odin will not directly flash boot.img files, but TWRP can. No need to flash this separately unless you havent yet installed root/custom kernel but plan to.
thanks a lot @AnonVendetta for your helpful reply, will try my luck tomorrow and report back:good:

I may later release a lightly debloated and deodexed version later. And, if anyone wants it, a debloated odexed version as well. But for right now, my laptop is out of commission, so no more work can be done for about a month. There really isnt much to do anyway, besides change the system image storage format to one that is compressed. As it is, it is just a byte for byte identical copy of the deodexed system partition, no compression applied.
n910f samsung note4
yep cant replace due spen ir removable battery superb fone and very nice size
Ive loaded sooooo many custom roms, but cant find one where everything works and is fast, camera bluetooth etc, presntly on acip
if anyone knows a custom rom where everything works on sm910f appreciate a link.
Its a fone not a toy! I need it to work with the bluetooth in the car or i get fied, I need the camera to come on immediately and not freeze of i lose the pic, I need it to start reasonably quickly and not freeze!!!!!!!!
Thankyou for this marshmallow 6 rom, may I confirm
load zip file to sd card fat32 flash with twrp
end up with stock android6 still with twrp in case a good custom rom comes out.
Advantage of custom roms... note 4 commands similar to a modern fone, i forget stuff like swype up for appstore/left button app store or was it right etc runs apps like bose which no longer run on android6 possibility of volte for poor signal in home
Actually there are a couple of better features in android 6 not carried over, swype down once and see text as well as pic for data wifi etc on shade, and big bright typefaces......

The GRX TouchWiz Home mod V8 runs excellent with stock roms.
@gwm121: This isnt technically a custom ROM, it's just a deodexed stock ROM. As noted above, nothing has been removed, so everything should work, in terms of functionality it is identical to the odexed stock ROM. What mods you decide to install (root, Xposed, busybox, viper, custom kernel, etc), is up to you, this is just a baseline.
Yes, just flash the zip from TWRP. If it doesnt boot, then read my posts above, you will find the answer.
hi @AnonVendetta, I followed your recommendations and successfully updated my phone, looking foreward now to check battery drain over night...
unfortunately I could not (yet) install xposed, my first attempt ended in a not starting device and I had to restore backup, need to further investigate what to do.
anyway thanks a lot once more for all your efforts!

Su
@suse_: The battery life on this should be pretty much the same as the stock odexed ROM. I have ran many odexed/deodexed ROMs over the years, and never noticed any significant difference between them.
If you want Xposed, this is the right version to use:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862685344
Do not use @rovo89's regular Xposed for Marshmallow, it will bootloop/hang on Samsung stock ROMs.
You also need the Xposed Installer app by dvdandroid.
This is what I'm running now, no issues. The deodexed ROM I've provided does *NOT* have Xposed installed.
Here is a safe debloat script. It doesnt remove that much, and everything it deletes can be installed from Play Store/Galaxy Apps if you want them back. The only apps I've added are the ones that I feel are 100% safe to delete and wont affect system stability. Maybe will add more in the future as I test.
EDIT: DEBLOAT SCRIPT REMOVED

stupid question: how to apply this? I installed it via TWRP, it did nothing, I searched appdrawer without success... is it for the commandline?
thanks
@suse_: Yes, it's a script. I forgot to mention that it needs to be flashed from TWRP. I kind of just assumed that people would know how to use it.
Can i use this on but exynos
@Tx Panda: No, you definitely shouldn't flash this on Exynos N910C. Different model/CPU chipset = not compatible. You will at the very least not be able to boot the ROM, and your device may softbrick until you repair flash with Odin.
I borrowed a friend's old desktop, monitor, and keyboard for a few weeks, while my laptop is away for repairs. It's not nearly as powerful as what I have, but it enables me to do work that can only be done on a PC.
Last night I tried to convert the raw system.img to a compressed Brotli format, but the zip didn't flash. So tonight I'm going to try to convert it to compressed ext4. If it works, I'll upload it. I may debloat it as well, along with a list of what is removed.
I really don't see a point in releasing a debloated odexed ROM, since a debloated and deodexed zip accomplishes pretty much the same thing, and is much easier and less aggravating to mod system files. I actually do prefer odexed ROMS, because they seem to run slightly faster overall than deodexed. But the speed difference is minimal, and if you have a good device like the Note 4, the differences are negligable.
A few other things I'd like to note:
1. Do not use Titanium Backup to debloat. It has a tendency to delete a bit more than necessary. I have seen users complain in the past about auto-rotate not working after using TiBu. This is because it deletes, in addition to the APK, odex files as well, as well as library files (name's ending in *.so, you can find them in /system/lib/ and /system/vendor/lib/). Sometimes these library files are used by other Android processes. Use TiBu as a reference to find the location of an app that you want gone, then delete it manually with a root file manager or TWRP. This leaves library files intact. TiBu is great, I use it for backup/restore, but never for debloating.
2. If you want to confirm that the bootloader, ROM version, CSC version, and baseband/CP/modem version are the same as the values I posted, you can use the free version of Phone Info by vndnguyen (search Play Store). However, these values may not match if you didn't at least flash my mini firmware package or the full official package before the deodexed zip. This way you will know your firmware is up to date. And if you switch to a different ROM, then you probably don't need to update it. As an alternative to stock, I find Resurrection Remix Nougat to be very fast and stable. If you wanted to run this or one of the new custom ROMS, you could just flash my mini firmware, then skip this deodexed ROM.
So, I'm currently building a new ROM zip. It is deodexed, same as original zip, but also debloated/de-knoxed. I removed a fair bit more than what my safe debloat script zip deletes. Nothing has been added. This leaves the system partition with about 38% free space (2.2GB used). I've tried to limit the removals to what I feel won't affect system usability/stability. So, here's what's removed:
/system/app/Books (Google Books)
/system/app/Chrome
/system/app/Drive (Google Drive)
/system/app/Dropbox_zero (Dropbox app)
/system/app/Flipboard (news app)
/system/app/FlipboardBriefing (news app)
/system/app/Gmail2
/system/app/Hangouts
/system/app/Maps (Google Maps)
/system/app/Photos (Google Photos)
/system/app/Music2 (Google Play Music)
/system/app/Newsstand (Google Play Newsstand)
/system/app/PlayGames (Google Play Games)
/system/app/PlusOne (Google+)
task manager and associated widget (who uses a task manager these days?)
/system/app/Videos (Google Play Movies/TV)
/system/app/YouTube
lots of apps related to facebook/instagram/whatsapp/evernote
Samsung print service plugin
PEN.UP
Peel Smart Remote (constantly bombards the **** out of your phone with ads like every minute, and when you unlock screen, it had to ****ing go...never seen a more annoying app)
S Note
Galaxy Apps widget (Galaxy apps store not removed, only its' useless widget)
stock email/exhange app (there are way better email apps out there)
Hancom office
stock calculator
S Health (left S Health service intact, you can reinstall S Health if you want, it will work)
stock voice recorder (way better stuff out there)
bubbles/phase beam stock wallpapers
knox:
/system/app/BBCAgent
/system/app/Knox
/system/app/MDMApp
/system/app/RCPComponents
/system/app/SamsungDLPService
/system/app/SecurityLogAgent
/system/app/SecurityProviderSEC
/system/app/SysScope
/system/app/UniversalMDMClient
/system/container
/system/etc/secure_storage/com.sec.knox
/system/preloadedmdm
/system/priv-app/KLMSAgent
/system/priv-app/SPDClient
Knox has got to be the most annoying POS security system Samsung has ever made, it likes to block root stuff. I've always just ripped it out by the balls, never had a loss in functionality because of this.
Most of what i've removed can be reinstalled from Play Store/Galaxy Apps, except Knox. The rest is generally useless junk that I feel most people won't miss. The whole point is to decrease the installed footprint of the system partition, while saving battery/CPU/RAM.
I'll spend the rest of tomorrow testing, then upload. This will very likely be the last released zip, I don't intend on turning this into a full-on custom ROM. In fact, I mainly created this topic to help out @prkfsz with a deodexed ROM that he could easily install MicroG onto. So far he hasn't reported whether it works. But then I realized I'd be doing the community a small service, so I created this topic. With that said, I'm not inclined to do much more free work, I'm a very busy guy most of the time. But I'll still stick around to answer questions.
@AnonVendetta - thank you for all the work. Sorry for not answering before, as i said, i was away and just recently got back. Will not have time to try your ROM untill next week.
I did manage to deodex stock ROM before with that APKtool you suggested, and it was a breeze with your instructions. Even here your instructions are very clear. You should be writing manuals..
Glad to see that there still is an interest for this great device. Personally i am going to run it as long as it works. And then i have a backup or five..
Am gratefull also for this ROM you are working on. That is almost exactly what i was looking for to begin with. I just sortof don't really get why you would remove S Note from the stock rom - that is basically one of the greatest advantages of this phone. I know there are other writing apps out there, i guess Squid is ok but in my opinion no apps come close to original SNote.
Looking forward to trying out your creations!
@prkfsz: I removed S Note and PEN.UP because I very rarely use the pen. Both of these are installable from Play Store/Galaxy Apps, so you're not really losing them. I have always considered them to be bloat. Another reason is that the versions Samsung includes in the ROM are old and not up to date.
You could have deodexed the entire ROM with APKTool, but it would have taken forever compared to the Kitchen. On my powerhouse PC, deodexing takes about 15 mins.

Welcome to the Lemon Drop Rom, for the Lgv20...
Auto_Debloat is a twrp flashable file I created, it's very unique in that you flash in twrp after you have already flashed Stock Oreo v8.0, kernel, magisk ect. This will transform Stock Oreo 8.0 into The Lemon Drop Rom. Auto_Debloat mods the build.prop file and updates the GPU drivers and tweaks. I love music, Lemon Drop was designed with music in mind, by forcing true 24 bit audio, at 44.1 kHz and System wide Quad DAC support. You will need to install apps like the alarm clock and weather. Most all LG apps are still there and some Google apps, like Chrome and the Play Store. You can always DeGoogle, at any time or keep Google Play Services installed. The idea is to customize Lemon Drop, to fit your needs.
Please read Questions, before rooting or flashing Auto_Debloat.
What works?
-Google Play Store
-Google Assistant
-Audio (input all three mics, & output)
-Display (with image retention fix & tweaked KCAL settings for optimal color)

-Camera (Camera improvement tweaks)
-GPS (USA gps fix by default & other countries optional) link
-Fingerprint
-DAC (24_BIT_Deep_Buffers_Enabler v4.2 force true 24 bit audio at 44.1 kHz) & (System wide Quad DAC support. V6.2)
-Radio (VoLTE & Wifi Calling only tested on H910 with AT&T)
-Wifi (dual channel bonding on 2.4GHz + speed tweaks)
-Thermal Throttling (70c default max temp) link
-Video output via hdmi
-DRM Widevine L1
What does not work?
-Miracast (removed due to security concerns)

New v9.39 & v8.39
Updated to speed mod v5.15 trying to save a little bit of battery life without sacrificing speed. Also fixed some apps crashing.
New v9.38 & v8.38
Added some Zram tweaks.
New v9.37 & v8.37
I got Zram fixed. I was able to have 22 apps open at the same time and Android did not close the apps on me. I was using 1.8 gig's of Zram when doing that. Because Zram was never working before it will take like 1 second sometimes to open an app that's because it's in compressed ram and the phone needs to uncompress it on the fly. So just an fyi. The Zram size is 2304MB with a mem_limit of 768MB. But this will save loading from the eMMC drive because we are loading the apps from Zram once you have opened the app. Oh yeah and swapfile is disabled. Enjoy everyone.
New v9.36 & v8.36
Also Changed zram disk size to the optimal size of 2304MB I did the math and this is the best size of zram for this phone. Swapfile is disabled.
New v9.35 & v8.35
Removed the swapfile as it may slow the phone down. Increased the size of the Zram.
Enable 768MB Zram mem_limit and disksize of 3840MB
New v9.34 & v8.34
Fixed an issue with the swapfile priority
New v9.33 & v8.33
Changed Zram to 768MB Added swapfile 1024MB
Fixed issue with sluggish ui
I set the priority of Zram to high and the swapfile to low so the phone will use Zram first then once it's filled up the phone will start using the swapfile. This should give us a lot more ram for multitasking.
New v9.32 & v8.32
Added a 1.5Gig Zram with lz4 compression. Removed Swapfile.
Well I did a lot of research and trial and error, and have concluded that we need to give zram a try. I have came up with a custom zram that's 1.5Gig's. This phone is lacking ram. I wish we had 6 gig's or 8gig's. But we have 4gig's and most of that is used by the OS. So the only way to increase the ram on the phone is with zram. The next version will have my own custom zram config that's 1.5gig's. I got it done already. I guess I always thought that zram would slow my phone down, but I have tweaked this version to make it fast. I have to say I am impressed with the results.
New v9.31 & v8.31
Changed swapfile size to 256MB
Found the optimal swapfile size it's 256MB. That will reduce writes on the eMMC drive and still allow you to open a number of apps at the same time without having android kill them. The tweak from last version helps a lot also by freeing up extra ram.
New v9.30 & v8.30
Free up extra ram by reset zram0 and zram1
Lemon Drop is still using a swapfile
New v9.29 & v8.29
Added Speed mod v5.14 change micro sdcard disk scheduler to noop. Might speed up sdcard a little bit.
New v9.28 & v8.28
Added the Lemon Drop Boot logo. I think the phone may boot a little bit faster because there is no animation to load.
New v9.27 & v8.27
Added Speed mod v5.13 fixed image retention issue.
New v9.26 & v8.26
Added Speed mod v5.12 some tweaks a little faster and may improve battery life.
New v9.25 & v8.25
Tweaked the 1024MB Swapfile
New v9.24 & v8.24
Added Internet Speed Tweak
I tweaked "/system/vendor/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant_overlay.conf" and the wifi is a lot faster now.
New v9.23 & v8.23
Added Camera improvement tweak. This will make the photos you take crisp, clear and sharp.
New v9.22 & v8.22
Fixed bug if system is mounted as read-only. If so then Auto_Debloat would not install. Some other small bug fixes.
New v9.21 & v8.21
Added speed mod v5.11. This should speed up the phone a little bit more. Should also save battery life. I tweaked the sched_upmigrate and sched_downmigrate. The up is set to 95% and down is set to 90%. So if a task is using more that 95% of cpu it will go the big cpu and vice versa.
New v9.20 & v8.20
Increased the swapfile to 1024MB & some fixes. No Zram only a swapfile.
New v9.19 & v8.19
Added Speed Mod v5.10 Tweaked Entropy speed tweak a little bit more.
New v9.18 & v8.18
Added Speed mod v5.9 Added an entropy speed tweak. Should speed up the phone and help with lag.
New v9.17 & v8.17
New Name for the Rom: Lemon_Drop
Added name to Android Version 8.0.0_Lemon_Drop
Just if you were wondering it's the Lemon Drop Candies not the drink. They were always my fav as a kid.
New v9.16 & v8.16
Added United States GPS Fix
To: /system/vendor/etc/gps.conf
New v9.15 & v8.15
Changed the swap file to 512MB, It's more like 488MB but it should be plenty.
New v9.14 & v8.14
Added a 341MB swap file to /cache/swapfile
This is something I wanted to do for a long time but I did not know where to put it at. The cache directory is the best place for it. Flashing the Speed Mod will remove the swap file. If that happens just flash Auto_Debloat again.
On v9.14 & v8.14
You may want to do a format data & reinstall of Oreo And Auto_Debloat. My phone is running faster, sound is great, I am getting close to the final version, this may be it.
New v9.13 & v8.13
Added AdAway default blocklist to /system/etc/hosts
New v9.12 & v8.12
Added a cool Droid startup animation no sound.
New v9.10 & v8.10
Updated speed mod to v5.8, a lot faster now. I think this is the max speed I can get out of the Lgv20.
New v9.9 & 8.9
It's even faster than v8.9 & v8.8. I found OTA file that is needed by the phone to do updates. I deleted that. And also I downgraded Magisk from v23.0 to v21.4 in v9.9. I think for now we should just stay on Magisk v21.4 it seems to work the best with Oreo. Only thing is you need to do another full reinstall again, for this new version. I am getting close to being done with Auto_Debloat.
New v9.8 & v8.8
Formatted the RCT and FOTA devices. Before I was just wiping them. Now there is no way the phone can download FOTA updates. Not in less Android knows how to read a NTFS file system. I think this new version has improved the speed of the phone a lot. Full reinstall is required for this version. Also found out how to unmount all the partitions after Auto_Debloat is done.
New v9.7 & v8.7
Updated to Speed mod v5.7 some other fixes. Enjoy.
I think this is it for awhile. I just keep finding thing to tweak. I am having fun.
New Stable versions of Auto_Debloat
v9.6 & v8.6
Updated the speed mod to v5.6
v9.5.1 & v8.5.1
I spent a lot of time changing the Auto_Debloat install script to get a perfect install of Stock Oreo Debloated. The trick is to un-mount all partitions after Auto_Debloat is done and before you reboot from TWRP into system. It's recommended to do a full reinstall with this version. Lot's of changes to the install script. Also Updated twrp to twrp-3.6.2_9-0-h910.
v9.2.2 & v8.2.2
Sable Branch version also. Has no add-on mods installed. It's recommended to do a full reinstall with this version. Lot's of changes to the install script. Un-mount all partitions after Auto_Debloat is done and before you reboot from TWRP into system.
v9.4 &v 8.4
Updated the Speed mod from v5.4 to v5.5. Moved Auto_Debloat_log to /system and moved build.prop.stock to /system.
Also there was an issue with Auto_Debloat v9.3 & v8.3 where it was not backing up the original build.prop file. Also my phone was getting hot with v9.3 & 8.3 IDK why? But this new version phone seems to be running a lot cooler.
This version there is some other changes I made to improve the install of Stock Oreo. I would recommend doing a full reinstall with this version, if anything to get your stock build.prop file backed up.
v9.3 & v8.3
I wanted to Include some of my Add-on Mods in Auto_Debloat.
What's included is in v9.3
24_BIT_Deep_Buffers_Enabler_v4.1_Lgv20_Oreo
DAC_Enabler+LGMusic_v1.3
Speed_Mod_Lgv20_msm8996_Oreo_v5.4
Thermal_Engine_Mod_v7.0_70c
System wide Quad DAC support. V6.2 in build.prop file

System wide Quad DAC support. V6.2 in build.prop file
You can always just flash the version of the mod you want. Theses are just what's included.
You can update if you want, it's always best to do a full reinstall. Update instructions are down below.
v9.2 & v8.2
I was having an issue with my sdcard, my files were getting corrupted. I think I fixed the issue with v9.2 and v8.2. You can update if you want, it's always best to do a full reinstall. Update instructions are down below.
I think it had something to do with Oreo wanting to encrypt the sd card. But it's a issue I have been dealing with for a long time. Let's hope I got it this time. Always backup your sdcard just in case.
v9.1 & v8.1
This version is 95% Vanilla Stock Oreo Debloated to the max. Same for v9.2 & 8.2. This version there is a bug that may corrupt your sd card. Best use v9.2 or 8.2 if you want a Vanilla Stock Oreo Debloated.

Magisk app v26.1, does not work with Oreo. Magisk 24.3 is the latest version that works with Oreo.
I had issues running the H910 v20H rom, my phone would crash after a day or two. With the v20G rom, my max uptime was 31 days.
Good idea to reinstall your EFS to get cell signal woking. Under "Is there a guide I can root my Lgv20 with Dirtysanta?" You only need to do this once.
You can DeGoogle at any time, if you want. Under "I want to DeGoogle after Auto_Debloat, can I do that?"

FAQ & Troubleshooting guide
Updated on 05-17-23
Questions (please read before rooting, or flashing Auto_Debloat)
What's the number one rule I should know before I root my Lgv20?
Very crucial before you flash the KDZ to downgrade your firmware for rooting, make a DUMP with LGUP all files, you don't need to dump system or cache. Put it in a very safe place, like google drive. It will have your EFS and your EFS has the IMEI number of that particular phone. If your EFS ever becomes corrupted then you can re-flash your EFS from your backup to get cell signal working again.
Can I just edit step3.bat and install the latest twrp in there?
No. You need the old version of twrp to format data, then you can update twrp to the latest version. You only need to remove the encryption on the data partition once, when rooting your phone. The old version of twrp is the only version I know of, that can remove the encryption on the data partition.
My camera does not work after Auto_Debloat?
If you were on LIneageOS or crDroid and then flashed Stock Oreo, then your camera may not work afterwords. The only fix that I know of is to root your phone again. Flash the KDZ to downgrade your firmware and root again.
I can not download Magisk modules with v24.3?
It's because that version of Magisk is too old, that's the only version that works with Oreo. You can still install Magisk modules offline, from the zip file.
What is the EFS?
"EFS stands for Encrypting File System, which is really important part of networking and communication for Android Smartphones, It also contains your device IMEI data."
What is the MSM8996?
"MSM8996 (or Snapdragon 820) is a Qualcomm SoC released in 2016."
What does FOSS mean?
Free and open-source software
Can all Lgv20 phones be rooted?
Most but not all.
How to check to see if you can root, lgv20 Anti-Rollback Version ARB
Can my LS997 install the Lemon Drop Rom?
As far as I know there is no Oreo Stock rom for the LS997, so Auto_Debloat will not work on that model of phone. But you may be able to install Lineage OS depending on your firmware. Check your ARB.
Sprint LG V20 Model (LS997): Comprehensive Overview of Guides and Resources (and why most LS997 phones are unrootable)
Go back to the top post and follow the install guide for your phone.
End of questions.
Is there a guide I can root my Lgv20 with Dirtysanta?
Yes, this is how I rooted my H910. It should be about the same for other Lgv20 phones, you just need to find your root guide for your phone.
1. Disable real time scanning, on the windows virus scanner. Download all the files, save terminal emulator to your microsd card the other two save on your computer, unzip dirtysanta, install usb drivers if using windows. Root your H910 with this guide.
h910_root_pkg.zip "DirtySanta root package"
usb drivers for windows
Terminal Emulator for Android "f-droid Download APK at bottom of page"
2. [ROOT] HOWTO: AT&T H910 up to v20g (FULLY TESTED) Note: before you flash the KDZ to downgrade your firmware make a DUMP backup with LGUP all files. You don't need to DUMP system or cache. It will have your EFS.
3. On step3.bat wait for phone to reboot from fastboot mode, when you see the LG logo, pull the battery. Do a factory reset and that will load TWRP How to factory reset the Lgv20.
4. Then format data. Very important, you format data with the older version of twrp that is with dirtysanta.
5. Then power off phone.
Note: This next part is for the H910, you need to get your version of twrp for your model of Lgv20. Latest version of twrp link at the bottom of page
6. Download twrp for the H910 twrp-3.7.0_9-0-h910.img
7. With the phone powered off, hold the down volume button and plug in usb to computer and phone.
type on your computer:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.7.0_9-0-h910.img
fastbboot reboot
take battery out
put back in
go into twrp by doing a factory reset. How to factory reset the Lgv20
8. Then you want to format data once more with the new version of twrp.
9. power off phone
10. Now would be a good time to reinstall your EFS. Just scroll down tell you see Manually reinstall your EFS on the Lgv20.
Troubleshooting guide for Dirtysanta
Getting an error on step1.bat "dirtysanta no such file or directory"?
Just disable real time scanning in windows defender, and try again. You will have to unzip the files again as windows defender will eat up dirtysanta. Dirtysanta was created by the Lgv20 community at XDA, it's not a virus.
I am stuck in fastboot mode on step3.bat, I get an error?
You most likely have a driver issue in windows. Just stay in fastboot mode fix your windows drivers and run step3.bat again.
[GUIDE] V20 Fastboot access in Windows.
Getting Secure Start up when booting?
Secure start-up issue. If your getting this screen do not try and type in a password. After 30 attempts it may brick your phone. What's going on is your data partition is still encrypted. You need to do a format in twrp on the data partition. Some versions of twrp will not remove the encryption correct for the Lgv20. I know the twrp version that is with dirtysanta will remove the encryption from the data partition. Then you can just update twrp again, you only need to format once.
Stuck at boot screen after flashing Nougat rom to root?
After flashing the rom to downgrade your firmware to root, if your stuck at the boot screen. Factory reset that should fix the issue.
Manually reinstall your EFS on the Lgv20.
You need to find your Original DUMP of the rom your Lgv20 phone was on, before you downgraded your firmware for rooting.
With the phone powered off, hold the down volume button and plug in usb to computer and phone.
type on your computer:
Note: COM6 is what ever com port you were using at the time.
fastboot flash fsg fsg_COM6
fastboot flash misc misc_COM6
fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1_COM6
fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2_COM6
fastboot reboot
Note: If you just rooted your phone, take battery out after you type fastboot reboot. Because you do not have an os installed yet, the phone will not boot. Go back to the top post and follow the install guide for your phone.
End of dirtysanta guide.
I want to DeGoogle after Auto_Debloat, can I do that?
Yes you can, I will show you how to install microG. It's a free and open-source implementation of proprietary Google libraries, that serves as a replacement for Google Play Services.
Make sure your phone is all setup the way you like, before you DeGoogle. There is no rush, you can DeGoogle at any time. All your paid apps and games from the Play Store should run just fine with microG. You will still be able to download the free apps and games from the Play Store, just not your paid apps and games. In less you login via the Aurora Store with your Google account, but that is against Googles TOS, your account may get banned.
1. Only do this once. Copy all your contacts from your Google account to your sim card. Make sure your signed into Google Play Store, open up the phone app, choose Manage contacts, copy from your email address to your SIM card.
2. Then you want to remove your google account in settings, general, accounts. Un-Check Auto-sync Accounts. Then power off phone, do a factory reset to boot into twrp. How to factory reset the Lgv20
3. Mount system & data, make sure read only is not checked. Open file manager under Advanced and delete the following folders.
To remove any folder from your device, click on the folder.
Then hit the Delete button
Finally, perform a right swipe to confirm the deletion.
/system/priv-app/GmsCore
/system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework
/system/priv-app/Phonesky
/data/app/com.android.googlequicksearchbox (then some letters and numbers) May not be there.
/data/app/com.android.vending (then some letters and numbers) May not be there.
/data/app/com.google.android.gms (then some letters and numbers) May not be there.
4. Then restart phone into system, Close all the errors.
5. Then power off the phone.
6. Download the three files.
NanoDroid-microG-23.1.2.20210117.zip
NanoDroid-patcher-23.1.2.20210117.zip
NanoDroid-fdroid-23.1.2.20210117.zip
NanoDroid Main Page
7. Put them on your sdcard.
Note: Now would be a good time to let your phone cool down.
8. Boot into twrp.
9. Install NanoDroid-patcher
Note: this will take 10 minutes.
10. Install NanoDroid-microG
11. Install NanoDroid-Fdroid

18. Give microG all the permissions it wants. Open microG and enable Google Device Registration. Wait 30 seconds, then restart your phone. After your phone restarts, wait 2 minutes, open microG and check mark Cloud Messaging and the Location Modules.
All done, your phone is now DeGoogled.
Troubleshooting guide for DeGoogle
In microG under Self Check, Play Store Phonesky Has correct Signature is not checked.
First disable Chrome and then download and install Kiwi Browser Next arm64 from GitHub.

Then update Google WebView to the Latest version from the Aurora Store, restart your phone.
Phonesky should now be checked.
I am logged in as anonymous and the search does not work in Aurora Store?
Yes it's a known bug, open Auora Store sign in as anonymous, open Kiwi browser, do a google search for like "Spotify Lite Play Store". The first link will say in the top left, Google Play. Just click on the link "Spotify Lite". You should get an option to open Aurora Store and set it as the default app. If you get an error "no such app found" or it loads F-droid, then go to settings, do a search for default. Click on Default apps, App links, Aurora Store, click on open supported links, change to ask every time.
Network Location not working with microG?
You have to install Apple UnifiedNlp backend from f-droid and enable it in microG under location modules, disable Deja Vu Location Serivce.
Push Notifications not working?
Clear all data on microG. Give it all the permissions it wants. Open microG and enable Google Device Registration. Wait 30 seconds, then restart your phone. Wait about 2 minutes, enable Cloud Messaging and Location Modules.
Text to speech is not working on my DeGoogled phone.
Install "Speech Services by Google" from the Aurora Store. It was removed automatically when you DeGoogled. Once you get Google Speech Services installed you can install the FOSS app RHVoice do a search for "Speech rate" to activate it.

My camera does not work after Auto_Debloat?
If you were on LIneageOS or crDroid and then flashed Stock Oreo, then your camera may not work afterwords. The only fix that I know of is to root your phone again. Flash the KDZ to downgrade your firmware and root again.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I save battery power on the H910 & all phones?
You can turn off AT&T Auto Connect under WIFI. Then under NFC Disable Tag Reading. Also you can download Force_Doze_Mode, this is for all phones.
Force Doze Mode Force your phone into doze mode to save battery. (root only) With Google or without, like LineageOS or a DeGoogled phone.
Also one of my favorite programs for all phones
SuperFreezZ "making it possible to entirely freeze all background activities of any app."
Also if you want to save your battery from wear you can use BatteryBot Pro. You can set an alarm when charged is reached and you can see your battery level on the second screen with the screen off.
BatteryBot Pro "Battery monitoring tool"
Can I see some benchmarks for Auto_Debloat v9.67 & v8.67?
I have an H910 so I can show you benchmarks from Auto_Debloat v9.66 DeGoogled Oreo v20g. I am still using the LG OEM 2018 battery, so a new battery may show better performance.
Geekbench 5
3dmark max
All internet speed tests were done on Auto_Debloat 9.74
Home Wifi on 2.4GHz 144 connection.

What options do you recommend for a twrp backup?
Your sdcard need's to be formatted in exfat.
Boot
Recovery
System Image
data (excl. storage)
EFS
Firmware
LAF/Download Mode
What about a twrp restore?
You should factory reset, then restore only if you were already had Lemon Drop installed.
You only need to flash.
Boot
System Image
Data
How do I format my sdcard for the Lgv20 & copy over my data?
Note: Formatting will delete all you data on your microsd card. So you may want to make a backup first before formatting.
I have found that it is best to format the sdcard in twrp.
Click on Wipe
Click Advanced Wipe
Check Mark Micro SD card
Click repair or Change file System
Click Change File System
Click on exFAT
Swipe to format
It's best to just Mount the Usb Storage in TWRP to copy over your data to you micro sd card. I was having issues with my sdcard reader in my laptop. I think it was corrupting the files on the sd card. This way you don't ever have to take your card out of your phone.
What is the differences between Auto_Debloat 9.x & Auto_Debloat 8.x?
Not much they are almost identical. Auto_Debloat 9.x has the H910 boot.img, twrp and modem drivers. Auto_Debloat 8.x does not have the boot.img, twrp or modem drivers, so it can be used on most Lgv20 phones, running Stock Oreo 8.0.
Can I use my Unlocked Lgv20 on another carrier, after Auto_Debloat?
You will need to make sure your APN is setup. Access Point Names, Go to settings, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names. If you do not see your carrier there you need to manually type it in. Do a google search to find your APN carrier settings. Other than that you will need to find out if the Lgv20 model phone you have is compatible with the carrier you are using it on. You may also need to call your cell provider and have them enable LTE or give them your IMEI number.
What does Auto_Debloat change on the Lgv20?
It removes a about one gigabyte of bloatware, disables all logging on the phone. Disabled MLT/LDB that slows your phone down. Removed LG Root Checker tool. Disabled all FOTA updates, when your phone is rooted FOTA updates will break your phone. Oh and there is my very own custom build.prop tweaks I have put together. Also Auto_Debloat will update the GPU drivers. All these changes will speed up the Lgv20 and bring it back to life, so you can use it for years down the road.
Why did I make the Lemon Drop Rom and the extra-add on mods?
I love my Lgv20 phone, it's an awesome phone. I don't think there will ever be another phone like the Lgv20. I want to use my Lgv20 phone for years down the road. I cant stand it when my phone or computers don't run perfect.
Why did I make the FAQ & Troubleshooting guide?
There is no way I could remember all this information. I use the guide myself, when I need to reinstall the Lemon Drop Rom. Once I forgot that I needed to reinstall my EFS, and I could not understand why I was only connecting at 4G not LTE. That's when I decided I need to write all this information down.
I am a developer may I port Auto_Debloat to another phone?
Yes you may, I only have an Lgv20. But if you want to take the time and port Auto_Debloat over to another phone, go for it.
Is LTE going away because of 5G?
"LTE, which stands for Long Term Evolution, will be around for at least 10 years, so 5G will not make LTE obsolete any time soon. May 20, 2020"
Can I change my Lgv20 from CDMA to LTE/GSM?
Depending on your version of firmware.
LG V20 CDMA to LTE/GSM switch via Hidden Menu
Can I go to LineageOS from the Lemon Drop Rom?
Yes you can, flash the KDZ to downgrade your firmware and root your phone again.
The End.

Just wondering what do u mean by disabling the ota?

OTA Updates are short for Over the Air Updates. When your phone is rooted then OTA updates will break your phone. I disabled all OTA updates. Also if they push out an OTA Update that changes the ARB Anti Role Back on the Lgv20 then the Lgv20 will be bricked. So it's just a good idea to have them disabled when your phone is rooted. If your going to run a stock based rom.
"An over-the-air (OTA) update is the wireless delivery of new software, firmware, or other data to mobile devices. Wireless carriers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) typically use over-the-air updates to deploy firmware and configure phones for use on their networks over Wi-Fi or mobile broadband."
Hey I just wanted to say thank you for creating this! I have an h910, been running alphaomega for the last couple of years I guess pretty happy but it got a bit buggy and is no longer supported obviously.
So this afternoon I'm gonna back up and take the plunge, change to this stock debloated and see how I get along. I'm a bit nervous haha since it's been ages since I tinkered/flashed anything.....will I remember, will it go smoothly jaja....or will this be two days without a phone and lots of hours sat reading? Soon find out!
I love the v20, really appreciate peoples' efforts to keep it alive and useful - I don't know if I'll ever want/need more from a phone to be honest!
*edit* I'm having real problems getting the rom file from androidfilehost There is only one mirror available and it keeps cutting my connection, I have to pause and restart, downloads a few megs and then stops again.....
If it is easy to put up another copy of the file somewhere it'd be appreciated, thank you!

Thank you very much, I love my Lgv20 phone and don't want to see it die. I have used A/O in the past it is a good rom just a lot of bloatware on the H910 phone. It's not hard at all to install on the H910 just flash two files and your good to go. But as for download the rom I know what your talking about.
If you have issues downloading the rom from androidfile hosting you use this Firefox extension Multithreaded Download Manager
Edit: You also may want to take screen shots of your phone, that way you know how you had your phone setup before hand. Just press down vol and power at the same time. They are stored in /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots Back them up to the micro sdcard because you will need to format data and it will wipe everything on your internal storage. Also you may want to backup everything you want to save from your internal storage to the micro sdcard.

Thanks for your reply! I reckon flashing it will be easy too - hope so!
I did try with a couple of different download managers in Firefox, no luck. Now slowly but surely getting it bit by bit in brave browser haha. It lets me resume after showing "network error", which firefox didn't. Fingers crossed!

Yeah Multithreaded Download Manager is the best download manager I have ever used for Firefox. If that don't work you can always use that extension. I just downloaded the rom just now took about 6 min to download. It download at full speed of your internet.

I will persist with brave for now, I'm at 1.4 gigs and it keeps resuming OK so I'll try to be patient haha. I live in the mountains with limited data connection only, when its good 700kbps, average 200ish - but 100gig a month current limit so I really want to get it this time without wasting data If this one doesn't work in brave, one more try with multithreaded and then a walk into town tomorrow if not.
Looking forward to having a clean install again, cheers!

Not a problem, just follow the Installation instructions and Auto_Debloat will do all the hard work for you.
Hey man just to update
The install went smooth as, everything seems very snappy and the battery seems to be lasting nicely, no greenify or anything else installed.
I did get an issue I had before when installing AlphaOmega - I had no modem (phone didn't recognize it had a sim card in the slot). I installed as per instructions formatting and rebooting, coming from my previous AO (also Oreo) installation. Fortunately, I solved this problem, wrote a detailed write up and still had my modified modem file from 3 years ago. Here is that detailed write up for if anyone else should have the problem of only having Modem (cell signal) or Fingerprint working after flash. Doesn't seem to happen to many people, but a few have had the same problem as me.
Now in the long process of getting the phone back as I want it
Thanks again for your time and effort on this - it is so nice to boot into a debloated, snappy phone.....just playing with all your recommendations now, the screen ghosting zip seems to have worked well, battery is great, phone is quick....I'll keep playing and reporting anything interesting etc Subscribed, too of course!

That's great you got it working. Thanks for posting a guide about how to fix the modem on the H910. I know some people have had issues getting the cell signal working correct in Oreo. I have never had that issue before with both H910 phones I have. So that does help out. Enjoy.
hey everyone I have updated the Thermal mods today 5-5-22 and I have updated the speed mods 5-4-22. The thermal mods are most likely the final version, I am very happy with how they turned out this time. Sometimes I have one of those aha moments and everything just comes together. That's how it was with the thermal mods today.
Updated all the speed mods to v3.1
