[ROOT] [MAGISK] Google Dialer (v31.0) & Google Contacts (v2.4.6) - March 27th, 2019
last update Oct 27, 2018
last updated in LG-V30 apps section Mar 27, 2019
OCTOBER 1ST 2018
hey guys, I'm moving this to the V30 apps section, and will continue to keep it updated.
All future releases will work on your V20, and most likely any other android phone as well.
There are magisk modules (safer) and arm versions (for older devices) are there now too!

My shared drive folder url will not change, so you can bookmark it or import it into your own google drive "shared with me"
Change log:
This should work on any phone running android 7.0+ (and maybe marshmallow too). I have a V20 and only test on that, so i'm posting this here. This post is the one Ill keep updated.
OK,
If you havent noticed, the Play Store page for the Nougat version of Google Dialer says "Your device isn't compatible with this version." And even trying to manually install the apk gives a similar error.
In short, if you flash the app into your system partition in TWRP recovery, it works just fine. I have packed a flashable zip that does just that.
This does not remove anything you have, like the LG dialer or contacts app. It only adds Google's Phone app as a separate "Phone"

Updated APK's to Phone v24 and Contacts v3.0.7

sorry it took so long

June 15th, 2018
I was offered 4 different new updates from the Play Store today, and this post deserves an update, so here it is.
arm64 version of the dialer for our V20 and other arm64 phones (majority of you will want this one), the exact version of the apk's in the zip are:
Phone-com.google.android.dialer-2733912-v21.0.200268810.apk
Contacts-com.google.android.contacts-2115124-v2.8.4.199714199.apk
Download Link
arm version for your older phones still being used, I dont know why the contacts version is slightly different, but the apk's included are:
Phone-com.google.android.dialer-2733910-v21.0.200268810.apk
Contacts-com.google.android.contacts-2115123-v2.8.4.199714199.apk
Download Link
These apks are all (nodpi) in case anyone was wondering.
Finally, again, I update my zip files 3-4 times more often than this post gets updated. I upload everything else not seen here to a shared Google Drive folder which is available using this link, so if you're expecting an update that isn't noted here, theres a good chance that it'll be in there.
Have a good summer!

Updated apks in a new flashable zip with:
Phone-com.google.android.dialer-14.0.176716531-1924533
Contacts-com.google.android.contacts-2.3.7.175176256-2059755
I still havent had a chance to thoroughly test the video calling or screen sharing features with this version of the Dialer and Google Duo, but I know its active. You'll need Duo installed (get from play store) to have access to that stuff. I'm interested in if/how well itcom.google.android.contacts_2.5.4.186070557-2083760_minAPI21(nodpi) works or if theres any hiccups with those new things.
You can download from my shared Google Drive folder here [url]https://goo.gl/67uQN9[/URL]
the file is named Google_Phone.v14.0-arm64_Contacts.v2.3.7_(nodpi)-NOV282017-flashable.zip
Clicking the file name here is a direct link to it.
You should be able to just flash this new zip over any previous versions that were from this thread without any problems. If you do that and something isn't working, try wiping the data from both phone and contacts apps, then do a dalvik/cache wipe if problem persists. If something is still wrong after that, let me know. I dirty flashed without wiping anything and my dialer seems to function as it should.
Questions, comments, problems? Leave a reply and I'll get back to you soon.
November 4th, 2017
Today I was offered an update to the Google Phone app through the Play Store and it caught me off guard, because the version I was running was only 3 days old at the time. I accepted of course and immediately noticed that the APK file was a little bit over twice the file size as what I've been working with previously, interest was piqued. I started it up and it started saying stuff about integrated video calling with Google Duo, I went through the steps and it seems to be working but haven't really called anybody and tried it for real.
So that is why I am asking for you guys is help and feedback with this version in particular, if you want to test it out and see if everything works please get back to me as soon as it's convenient. I don't know at this point if I got this because everybody is getting it and it's a new release from them or if it's because of some other tweak that I have done on my phone and activated something different somehow. I'm pretty exhausted, coming down, and need a 2-day nap.
The file size for the zip is too big to keep posting on XDA, unfortunately, so I will provide a link to a shared folder on my Google Drive where are will start keeping all over releases from now on (theylll still be here to when possible)
The link to that folder I mentioned is here https://goo.gl/fQphzb file named Google_Phone.v13.0[Duo.Integration].arm64_Contacts.v2.2.3_(nodpi)-nov042017-flashable.zip
I feel like some kind of warning should come with this one because like I said I don't know if it is something I did on my phone that made this happen or if it's going out to everybody. So let me know!
October 31st, 2017
Ive been planning on making this into a Magisk module for awhile and got around to it finally. The magisk version is exactly the same as the latest non-magisk zip posted here, except its systemless. If you would like to switch from a previous install to the magisk version, just flash the remove zip (also new) and install the magisk module. You can to that without losing anything as far as app data goes by installing the magisk mod FIRST from magisk manager, then immediately rebooting into recovery and flash the remove zip.
Updated Dialer to v13.0.171616398
attached below
October 2nd, 2017
Updated Dialer to v12.0.1671-arm64
and Contacts to v2.2.3-all
You can flash this over any of my previous versions and be ok,
attached below
August 9th 2017
Updated Dialer to v11.0.164102751-arm64
and Contacts to v2.1.2.163775758-all
Framework is included.
Everything appears to be working without any issues for me after flashing the zip attached below.
July 9th 2017
I am positive "Nearby Places" is working on my V-20 using this (different from everything Ive used before today) framework file.
Instead of putting new zips of everything from my last July 4th update, I am just attaching that different framework separately.
If you are experiencing broken "Nearby Places", try flashing any of the below attached v9 or below zips 1st,
Then flash UPDATE-google_dialer_framework_only-2017-07-01.zip 2nd and see if this works for you.
July 4th 2017
I added a few new zip files with different versions of the Dialer app. I hope anyone having problems like what I have read from your posts in this thread can find one that works the way you're expecting. All of the apks are directly from apkmirror, no mods.
There are zips with version 8 and 9 and 10 of the Phone app. They are the same except for the dialer.
UPDATED June10th 2017
Phone .v10.0.155920708
and
Contacts.v2.0.9-200091
both of these apks are from apkmirror
flashable zip is attached to this post
sort of UPDATED June 4th 2017
no zip yet but you can upgrade to Phone v10 using instructions I posted here
I will provide a one step flashable zip attached here as soon as I can get (the patience to get) one working. It will be a week or so before I can play with a clean ROM.
If anyone out there figures it out and can provide a tested, working zip file, Id be happy to post and give you credit.
UPDATED May 13th 2017[/B

Since it doesn't remove the LG phone app will this answer calls? Can it be assigned as the default phone and contact app?

Not trying to hijack the thread bit I have a zip as well that will accomplish the same thing but also includes google contacts.
Flash the original post if you just want the dialer or you can have this one if you want contacts too.
Side note when installing there will be an update for the dialer in the play store but it will install just fine as normal
Thanks for posting this OP
It keeps foreclosing ?
Yeah unfortunately on my H910 it crashes pretty often. I just decided to remove it because it was much more of a hassle than convenience.
It seems like some that have the T-Mobile H918 don't have much of an issue with it, but I can't confirm that.

Set as default app, then grant it all the permissions. That will stop the FC.

Thanks for sharing! Ive been using just the dialer app going back to my G3, usually on AOSP (so there was never an issue getting google contacts from the play store).
I hope you dont mind and by all means let me know if you do, I modified your zip with the newest versions of both the Dialer and Contacts apps that will work properly on 7.0 Nougat. I have flashed the attached zip in TWRP on my V20 and tested everything without any issues. I can only assume these 2 apps wont be able to be upgraded on our device until we have 7.1.
Anyways, thanks again, the updated zip is attached, inside is:
com.google.android.contacts_1.6.20-106201_minAPI21(nodpi)
com.google.android.dialer_5.1.131226882-405721_minAPI23(nodpi)
nicely done guys going to try with my s7 edge on nougat.
works great.
Gonna give this a shot now as well, thanks OP and others who've contributed..!

So everything works just fine, except for the voice mail part of the dialer.. When I click "settings" i get a force close.. Any fix for that..?? I just had removed the VVM.apk from the WETA rom in an attempt to use a newer VVM.apk, and ended up losing the app all together.. I even extracted the VVM folder from the WETA rom zip file and moved that over, and still doesn't work so I dont know what happened there.. So I just set up Google Voice, but I'd rather stick with a native voice mail if I could..
Thanks..!
edit - ok so while in the pixel phone app, and on the voicemail tab, instead of clicking "settings" and getting a FC, i clicked "ok" and it closed that pop up message, and in an effort to test it out i sent myself a voicemail from another phone and it actually seemed like my phone reinstalled the factory voice mail app that i managed to delete yesterday on accident.. Now the only thing here is that my phone now sends voicemail's to that factory voice mail app and not the pixel xl voicemail tab.. Anyone else have this issue..??
actually missed call notification is not working on s7 edge on nougat...
Also noticed another lil bug..
When I put my phone to my face, it doesn't turn the screen off anymore..

this is all related to the zip deleting important call info,
after testing it for a few hours i removed it due to it being broken fundementally.
Its removing your call apps that handle proximity sensors etc,
this would need to be changed.
if you open the zip, take the apks themselves and merge them to your system folder in their perspective spots,
DONT DELETE ANYTHING. If you already flashed this then re-flash your rom 1st.
After moving the apps to their spots, use Titanium backup or other similar app to freeze the 2 or 3 apps the updater zip deletes.
this way the connections to the sensors wont break, notifications etc should work, if you want to use stock you can just unfreeze the stock apps and remove or freeze the google ones.
i was going to post a updated method but after the hack i caught over testing it ill just refrain from that.

Ohhhh, so it's awesome, but has it's set backs at the same time lol..
Thanks for the detailed info on how to "fix" it, I'll give it a shot.. I did already flash the zip, but I'm testing out some diff roms today so once I find one I wanna play with for a week or so, I'll follow these instructions and hopefully be back in business..!
Thanks again!
Installed it on my Tmobile LG G4. Works likes a charm.
So I flashed it. Dialer opens. But once I grant it phone permissions the app opens and immediately crashed. I don't get a FC message. But the app opens up and then immediately closes itself. Anyone else have this issue? It was working fine on the last Rom I was using. Now I'm using NSS 5.5 which its not working on.

There is thread on xda to use google now on ics. However i couldnt manage it to work on my 7510 even after following the steps twice. Is there anyone who managed google now to work on gt7510?
I had the same problem and flashed different versions and it still didn't work.
You have better chances asking in the Google now thread since they are the ones modding the apk. I saw there are 4-5 versions, which did you try?

Flashable ZIPs
M6 - Mikeyxda's version 6. This version has improved on the previous one by fixing the double take problem, typed searches are working, auto launch is fixed, as well as the following fixes from the previous version: Red mic with cards showing with no refresh needed, no FCs, offline dictation, and no stretched words. These zips all use zipalligned apks.
Offline/Online via Mediafire - 36.43MB /Hotfile mirror
Online only via Mediafire - 14.01MB /Hotfile mirror
M6-Velvet.apk Only
R3 - "Nearly there" version by ReekoTubbs. This version has the Red mic with cards showing with no refresh needed, no double take, no FCs, offline dictation, auto-launch, no blank screen, and no stretched words. These zips all use zipalligned apks.
Offline/Online via Mediafire - 36.48MB /Hotfile mirror

M2 - mikeyxda APK version 2. This version resolves the double take, invisible screen, and auto launch problems. Sometimes the red mic screen doesn't show up. To fix it, press the normal mic, then hit menu > refresh to bring back the red mic. That's should get everything back to normal.

I tried again and the M6 Online version works. You have to make sure you have enough space in your /system partition or it fails.

I was able to get M7 installed, on and offline. I used Titanium Backup to check the System memory (thanks for the tip, I had only 25mb left and that was causing my install failure - although I never received an error installing the zip).
I can barely stand the GNow app though, it is horribly slow. I now have 35mb of system left (deleted files in System/app before installing) which is more than I started with. Any others seeing this problem?
Guys you that have Google now working, is your rom deodexed? Because it's stated it's a requirement on google now thread
No luck for GT-P7500
I tried both M6 and M7 on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500(Wifi+3G). After I tap the mic it records my voice and then hangs. It then says Cannot Reach Google and after I click Try Again only does it display the result. Any fix for this??
What rom are you using? I had similar results when using roms based on the stock ICS rom, but better results when using CM9 based roms. I will say that there is still a slight delay between voice entry and actual google voice translation, but it is better than what I had with the stock based roms. I think the overall delay is due to the need for the ics voice input app to translate your voice and then input it into google voice, since the two are not integrated like they are in JB roms.

Enable Facebook Contacts Sync

If you vote, please also post what Device and ROM you have, and which of my installers you used.
Voting "No" and not posting your device, ROM and file used... is insulting everyone else. Not posting the log, is insulting me.

How to use:
Download
Put on SD-Card or internal memory.
Reboot into Recovery
Run installer file - It will prompt you to reboot when done.
What will this do?
This is a quite simple modification, I have edited the ContactsProviders for several CM version to enable the sync of Facebook Contacts.
My Multi-Installer will backup your existing ContactsProvider, and then replace it with one of my moded copies.
It then edits the contacts database to add the required column "is_restricted" which is what Facebook looks for.
These updates will also remain through minor updates. (So if you update to a new nightly of the same version, it will preserve itself)
The Mulit-Installer will then purge the dalvik-cache for the ContactsProvider and all Data for Facebook forcing you to log back in. (Sorry, but this is necessary to load facebook data into contacts)
Multi-Installer v1.1.4
Should the installer fail to run and/or the Phone/Contacts fail to load after reboot, please save the installer log and post/link here. -- This will help me to help others, and to fix whatever is causing the problem.
Thanks in advance to all those that help.

(If you'r game enough to do dual-boot, you should be able enough to extract the file you need from the multi-installer zip.)

I would like to apologize to all those that have downloaded one of the individual pack.
Untill now they were actually broken, and a major part of the script was not getting preformed regarding the contacts database

Yep, here it is... a modified ContactsProvider.apk for CM 10.2.
I had been using the old one from CM 10 with 10.1 which worked fine, but the recent update caused the old file to stop working... after doing a rough search for a new version I soon realized that one is kinda lacking... Yep, sure there are a few guides out there that all tell you how to do step-by-step. But what about those that just aren't that cluey (like my sister hehe)... :silly:
Just download the zip file below and use your custom recovery to install.
It will update the ContactsProvider.apk with a fully modified version. (So no database "fix" needed after a data wipe)
It will also update your existing contacts database to allow sync without needing to "reset" your contacts.
Finnaly, it will also clear the ContactsProvider's dalvik-cache... so you don't need to do this either. :angel:

But i have a request if you can help all of us who still using cm 10.1, and desperately need the same flashable zip for our cm 10.1 based roms without need to fix and/or delete anything just like in this file here. Could you do this for us, please? Thanks in advance

My pleasure, I understand the frustration this simple issue causes. And why oh why... is something like this always so hard to find
I just wish Facebook would update their application to conform with Google standards and this wouldn't be an issue.
Device specific strings removed, generic scripts used for mount and unmount.
Multi-Installer Should now work for all devices running CM 9, 10.1 or 10.2
-- If it fails please remember to include log files where possible.
-- Also, mention WHERE it fails... does the update fail in recovery? Does all boot fine but then when you load phone the contacts dies???
C'mon gimme something to work with! =)
Please test and report back here. Thanks in advance.
Multi-Installer - make my GS3LTE crash my contact provider
and
CM 10.1 patch is not working
anyways thanks so much for you work

A bit more detail would be very handy. -- The install log and the boot log would be prefect here.
Such as where, and when the error occurs. In recovery or when booting??
Just saying "It doesn't work" ... doesn't help after all, it could be many things.
And if you were trying the 10.1 manual patch on 10.2 it won't work at all, that's part of the reason I developed this.
The manual patch file does have a few device specific strings... it's meant for the GT-I9100.
You may need to purge your contacts for it to work 100% effectively. And it may cause far more problems than its worth.

Not working...
Unfortunately Facebook Contacts Sync is not working with my sII... I'm using a SII specific package for CM 10.1 (not this one with Aroma installer) and I can see the option to Sync inside Facebook app, I can see the FB account under Settings -> Accounts in my phone (and it says it is synced), but... nothing happens. It wont sync anything... I tried everything I remembered - cleared Contacts and Facebook cache/data from Manage Apps. Nothing. I re-logged in to facebook app - again nothing. Oh, I forgot to say that I'm using custom ROM Sentinel 4.80, which is CM 10.1. Anything else I could do?

Use the Multi-Installer, The issue with the auto-sync there is due to incorrect usage in a line of my script that's included in the individual packs.
I meant to correct that earlier, but ended up making the multi-installer instead.
Patcher
Run the patcher above, or do the steps below.
You can clear the * Contact Storage * data -- Settings -> Apps -> All -- scroll down and clear data for the Contact Storage (you don't need to do "Contacts", just the storage) once thats cleared it should rebuild correctly.

Once done, I'll upload a small fixer file for those of you already "stuck" (but really... thats already fixed in the new version).

That trick worked!
But it's a new problem - maybe I'm too fickle but I really like this option. So the problem is that now My G+ profile that is shown inside notification bar and is connected with my Contacts local profile is not working anymore. What I mean is that when I tap on the thumbnail in the notification area the Contacts are opening and immediately closing. And inside Contacts there is no my profile (although I am logged in G+ app) just label that says "Set up my profile"... When I set up profile with my exact names as they are in G+, the contact is not merging with G+ profile ( eg. not showing picture, latest G+ updates, statuses etc... )

Resolution is the same as the Google image, because they are all displayed in the same way. -- Added a few samples to the OP post tho.
If you haven't already, you should update your bootloader and modem using this thread.
UPDATE 04-04-15
EDIT2: no longer available
EDIT: Clock package was not removed. Please use Play Store replacements for essential functions (Chrome, QuickPic, Google Camera, etc). There are other changes as well, such as just reducing the size of the file by removing unused system libraries. If you would like the QuickConnect and S-Finder buttons gone, I believe there are xposed mods for it.
Recovery-Flashable Zip (*NOTE: YOU MUST FLASH SUPERSU AFTER FLASHING ONE OF THESE)
Please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/testing-debloated-dob1-rom-t3077507
Both of the Flashable Zips are Odexed, and the Slim Rooted one comes with the Calculator, and Calendar Sync for Google. There are still apps to be removed, and this is in progress. GPS and Maps is working.
Two backups are provided, one of them is about 2.2GB (after extraction), and it contains the full stock rom, with nothing removed, including Knox. The second is about 1.1GB (after extraction), and it contains heavily de-bloated and rooted rom, with everything from this thread removed (but not NFC), and also Knox. A few other things are also removed, but nothing essential.
EDIT: Backups no longer available.

Yes. That's what I did.
Any more feedback on this? This is exactly what I've been looking for. For the most part I debloated the rooted version of the stock install myself as I prefer the smoothness of odexed roms. But I'd love to try this rom out, thank you for putting this together!
I'm curious about gps performance and if Screencast works. I love sharing my screen with my roku, but since flashing ktoons kernel I seem to have lost that ability, even flashed back to stock kernel and still had same prob. Anyone out there who can conform it works on this rom?

The debloated version works perfectly with my Roku.
Nice! I don't have the targets to test whether or not Screencast works or not. GPS performance will be comparable to the Stock ROM. I believe that it includes A-GPS, but I'll have to recheck Samsung's specification to be sure.
Great StockROM!
I'm having some issues, please can somebody confirm if it's only me:
1) Google Calendar is not syncing. I think we need Samsung' calendar to work.
2) Google Maps FC

Thanks for testing it, I'm currently in the process of testing a Recovery Flashable Zip, and this time, I'll add in the calendar syncing app. I had removed it in the previous releases (called "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter"), so not syncing was intended. Is the Maps you're talking about something you downloaded from the Play Store or was it included (it shouldn't be, just making sure)? I'm not really sure what would be causing the FC with a Play Store release, but I'll look into it soon.
Hello,
I thought Google maps was restored from titanium but I even downloaded from play store and still FC.
Also, I know this is a very lite ROM but if possible please add calculator lol... I feel weird downloading a calculator from store

Google calendar won't sync on the lite version, missing some files, something like calendarupdater. It works fine on the full version.

Samsung Nougat DEBLOAT script
Hello everyone,
Galaxy S6 comes with much more bloatware than most other phones, it has apps preinstalled that some of us probably will never use.
Some of those apps may even run at boot and consume RAM and CPU. For this purpose I made a small very effective script and that will remove huge amount of applications. This script works on de-odexed and odexed ROMs and you can use it even for Marshmallow ROMs, so this is ALL-IN-ONE solution.
I created the script when Nougat came out and I use it all the time without any problems.
* You can easily edit script and add character ' # ' to exclude certain APP from deleting *

You may want to keep YouTube. If you delete it then Google Play will crash if you click on a video. Still not a problem because you can always install it back from the market.
I strongly suggest that you keep one of the two browsers. Android must have at least one browser to function properly. Google Play also needs one browser. So either keep the samsung browser or chrome. Don't delete both at the same time.
If the device already upgraded chrome then your script will only delete the "rom" version of it, so everything will be ok and still working fine because the newer version resides in "ram". On a new/clean device, that will boot a rom for the very first time, and/or google play is not yet registered, deleting both browsers might cause problems.
Some programs are there to run only once at the very first boot, just to populate the file system with the default config values and data files/folders needed for the device to function. If a device had its first (long 5-10 minute) boot then deleting those is fine, always assuming you will not run a factory reset at some point in the future.
Other programs are there and run only if you dial specific codes at the dialer. The camera upgrade firmware or the wlan test for example. They don't run if they are not needed. A lot of debloat guides suggest that you remove those but i don't see a reason why.
You can always create some ScriptBackup/{app,priv-app} folders and move the bloatware apks there instead of deleting them. I would like to be able to bring back the QuickConnect and Gear apks back because i have a gear watch and a samsung tv for example.

Just edit the script to not delete those things.. even states how to do it in the O.P.
Bootloop on latest 7.0 - To see if one of the apps being removed is causing the bootloop I commented out all but a couple of apps (the Microsoft stubs) and tried that on a fresh install, but it still causes a bootloop.
I had the same problem... just look for this: Orel_MadK_Extreme_Debloater_V5_Final worked on my SM-G928F fresg Nougat install IMPORTANT: Dont tick one app for yourself...just leave it standard.
Works perfectly, even added all google apps so device runs better

Pixel 1.3: Oreo Speciale!
After months of hardwork, debloating and experimenting, I can finally present to all you lovely people on XDA, Pixel ROM. This is by far the most debloated, lightest and Pixelified ROM for the Note 8 right now. This ROM has (according to me) the best battery life for a ROM til' this day. I've spent hours upon hours on optimizing this ROM and debloated, to the point where removing anything else will break things. Here's a feature list!
Features of Pixel ROM
1. Google Calculator
2. Google Phone
3. Google Calendar
4. GCam 8.3: Everything Working
5. Google Chrome (Samsung Add-ons Removed)
6. Google Clock
7. Google Contacts
8. Google Files GO
9. Gallery (Modded)
10. G-mail
11. Google Keep
12. Google Lens (Works in Google Photos too!)
13. Google Maps
14. Google Messages
15. Eleven Music (Lineage)
16. Soundalive and AudioFX (Lineage)
17. Google Photos: Pixel configurations applied, unlimited storage pop up occurs but do not set to original because Google found out about this.
18. Google Play Games
19. LineageOS Recorder
20. Modified Settings and removed all useless and resource consuming features.
21. Updated AOD
22. System UI Tuner: Change animation speeds and customize as much as you need with this
23. Youtube
24. Google PAY (I forgot to write this XD)
25. Google Pixel Bootanimations
26. Google sounds, tweaks etc. I DON'T REMEMBER THEM ALL XD
27. Stereo Sound Mod and Values adjusted for Balance
28. Latest GBoard
29. Android Oreo Stock Emojis (Google Ones not Samsung Ones)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
V1.3 Changelog:
1. Fixed Safetynet and updated Phantom Kernel to latest.
2. Minor errors fixed.
Friends this is the last time I'll be working on Oreo. It has been
a pleasure, but we must move on to Pie. Thank you for all the support and a special thank you to @rohitdanda for all the help.
I shall see you on Pixel Pie!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
1. RAM management usually idles (on first flash) at around 3.8 GB free.
2. Total ROM size after unzipped is 2.6GB from 4.8GB STOCK!
3. Device Maintenance was removed in exchange for Files Go and System UI tuner. To access battery stats, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.
4. The only theme engine that will work with this ROM is Substratum as Samsung Themes was removed.
5. Thanks to @ProtoDeVNan0 for the custom system UI animations! He is really epic.
6. The latest Phantom Kernel was used and also the latest Stock base so Performance is epic.
7. Please flash the ROM
8. After first boot, make sure you restart your device once.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the zip and download magisk.
2. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache
3. Flash the zip with Magisk
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugs: 26/01/2019
Gallery must NEVER be updated (disable autoupdate for Gallery in Play Store). If it did update and the icon become the Samsung Gallery one, goto Settings/apps/Gallery and on the top right corner there will be 3 buttons, which when clicked gives the option to uninstall updates for the app.
Youtube Review:
Special thanks to Geovanny Fernandez on that

Download the rom to your pc or to your phone sd card. Extract the rom zip Pixel ROM V1.1 Copy the extracted zip and paste it into the TWRP folder into your phone via file manager. Take your rom backup before flash a new rom and move the backup to your SD Card. Boot to the recovery and wipe ONLY System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache. NOW go to restore backup and restore the zip who have extract into twrp folder. Is defernt way to "flash a rom" this is not the classic way. The first boot need 5 minutes before the phone open. Maybe next versions have aroma installer. Is possible.
Im sorry but your directions are beyond confusing. Are you telling us hat we need to use our current boot img and put it in the rom to boot it?

Ok the basic and easy way to understand this is, thst you are restoring the ROM. Except you are wiping data so you can have a fresh start. So unzip the ROM (basically the folder). Then move the folder to your TWRP folder which in my case is TWRP/backups/988a1b35434255384d30/. The set of numbers at the end will be different for everyone but place the ROM folder in the last directory. The reason I ask you to make a backup of boot is so the final folder directory is created because it isnt there by default. You do not RESTORE the boot img backup you create any point or time. The unfortunate fact is that making a flashable zip is not easy, which is why I released it as a restorable ROM. Sorry for the delays, hope y'all enjoy the ROM!

I got it installed, so what I did was I unzipped the ROM into the twrp folder that contained the boot image I just backed up. I then wiped and restored.

Well obviously duh XD. I will probably make version 2 with One UI and ever since Samsung changed their Ui it looks very close to stock, especially the notification panel, so I will probably do this again. Just remember though that this takes a very long time, mainly due to the amount of crapware and heavy deep debloat I have to do everytime. I've had to individually inspect and remove permissions because some apps framework still started up in the background and THAT ANNOYED ME. So everyone please hit that thanks button it really helps and also once again, Merry Xmas everyone ?
