I am looking to install the Resurrection Remix ics v1.4[4.0.4] rom onto my phone which is currently running stock LPQ 4.0.3 (it is also rooted). I am wandering if i install Resurrection Remix ics v1.4 do i also have to install the siyah kernel or will the rom already come with its own kernel? I also am wondering can i install the black theme for the rom right after i install the rom and the gapps or does the phone first have to rebot and does this theme work for 1.4 because the file name says black theme apps for 1.2?
The rom comes with own kernel, the siyah kernel is optionally, i personally didn't like the siyah kernel on Ressurection, becuse of the battery life and some few bugs....I highly recommend the thoravukk kernel...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574672
Install rom first, then gapps, reboot...let the device do its thing and then reboot into recovery again and install the black theme...
I say stick with the Stock Kernel

Hello, guys. I'm a newbie at this forum. Can you point me to some issues of RR 1.4?
1. I'm using RR 1.4 on my Galaxy S2. It is the great rom, but... Is it possible to set storage for camera to use? I used this feature on 1.0 to store my photos and videos on sdcard. But on 1.4 I haven't found appropriate setting in settings menu of the camera.
2. RR 1.4 doesn't install MMS.apk file during the flashing. There is no icon for SMS/MMS application in Apex Laucher dock. You need to install mms.apk file manually after flashing. Seems that it is an issue.
3. FmRadio and SoundRecorder applications are missed in applications list. I see them in /system/app folder but can't run. Also I can't install them manually.
Does anyone faced with the same problems?
I love this v1.4 all the features are great.
However i have a problem, i have backup all the contacts via titanium in v1.1 but i can restore them in v1.4. Please help : D

The most common reason for having issues like that is not following the instructions for flashing the ROM. It's harsh I know, but, flash it again - this time by the book and you'll have no problems. 1.4 works like a charm for me, Sound rec. and FmRadio are not included in this ROM and there is no option to choose storage on the camera apk.

That's odd, maybe you can try clearing dalvik from recovery and fix permissions. If that doesn't fix the issue, and you can - reflash it and follow the instructions. Maybe it's a bug, but I don't have it so...

Yep, I have the boot animation.zip you can download from here
http://www.mediafire.com/?yypcbzvrzjzgfgk
using root explorer app, first remove the current bootanimation.zip which is in system/media, put it somewhere for safe keeping. Then replace it with the downloaded .zip. You will have to change the folder from R/O (read only) to R/W (read write) which is in the top right corner. Remember to remove the current boot animation.zip from the /media folder otherwise it won't work.

Indications:
Customizable display through LightFlow.
1. Run Light Flow, in "Settings" program:
2. "Direct method".
3. Insert "mode Root".
4. "Control LED" -> manage LightFlow
5. Include "Spec. Opportunities" (Settings-> All Settings-> Spets.vozmozhnosti-> Services-> LightFlow -> ON)
6. Set up a "notice" for themselves, not forgetting that we have only the green LED.
Custom Calls and Message Tones How To:
Create a folder on the main memory ringtones and throw back a desired tone. Then go to settings-sound-melody and choose that tune that threw into ringtones (it appears). Voila!
Gravity Box is stable. Nowhere else did not observe such stability.
For magnetic cases apply the patch from recovery without wipe.
Everything you do, you do at your own risk.
And now some screenshots!
I am currently on this rom and it is excellent.

Only one SIM detected
After flashing the ROM, it appears to be detecting only one SIM. I have cleared the possibility defecting SIM card by trying it out in other Mobiles. Is it that I have to again rewrite the IMEI codes from the back up using Mobile uncle? Super camera and super gallery are not thare should we get the apk and install?
Hi, am on Chinese Firmware 4gb with Vibe 1.5 Kitkat, want to go bloat free, which rom would you recommend? AOSP or SLX? why?
willl I lose IMEI if switching from Chinese to ROW? thanks

SLX sxeems to be better ! I use LiFe v.0.7. For me is the best.
Sorry stympy i dont read this thread, once again sorry my friend
btw, stympy how must i doing when from this rom -> http://goo.gl/oAAKPU ???
thanks before
Excellent ROM, in v1.6 is more stable and faster. I flashed after full wipes. The only problem, is some animations with some lag and Quick and extra settings with GravityBox not works fine, but this is problem cause for compatibility of MTK and kitkat.
But Lenovo released the Vibe UI from ROW versions, I will expect ROW AOSP versions and repartition tool from India forums. The best ROMs actually are, SLXROM (by Silentxxx) and AOSP versions (by power19), from Russian Lenovo forum and 4pda forum respectelly.
Flashtool version
Any one have a backup this rom with mtkdroid tool & make flashtool version??.

Better you install or follow the thread at needrom discussion of p780 and follow the step by step tutorial. You don't need flashtool except for installing chinese version of p780 firmware prior to this aosp rom.

I have v1.7 , is there any way to upgrade to v1.8 without losing or restoring the entire data from scratch ?
Also, is there any way to skip the data to be installed in SD card because for the security reason I am looking for an option which could install all the apps in phone internal memory instead of SD card because SD card can be removed and data can be accessed anytime if the phone is lost.
---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------
I just flashed v1.8 and then wiped dalvik cache and thats it. I am on v1.8 and I must say BOOT ANIMATION plus STARTUP ITEMS is a charm.
My tests and solutions on the AOSP 1.8:
- The magnetic cases zip patch from recovery generates a bootloop on the CHINA BASED ROM.
- StandardCamera.zip it's SnapCamera. So I intalled the Google Camera from Plays Store and tested HDR, that doesn't work. PHOTOSPHERE and LENS BLUR works. Gallery Crashes while trying to edit a picture.
- Google launcher.zip works but overwrite nova prime. Titanium backup is recomanded.
- Gravity Box is stable, but a lot of tweaks are not applied.
Here there are my steps for the INSTALLATION and to solve the ISSUE ABOUT GOOGLE ACCOUNTS :
- I installed Vibe UI with Flashtools, just booted to check it then I rebooted in recovery. I didn't put any google account on it.
- From recovery I installed the AOSP 1.8 4.4.2
- At the first boot I get this 2 messages: "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped" "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" and I can't go on seting up the phone.
- Back in recovery tried a wipe to factory settings, it works, so I enter in the O.S.
Then
- Once in the O.S. I cant get to login in my Google Accounts, I get "there was a problem communicating with Google Servers"
- Back in recovery tried another wipe to factory settings, it DOES NOT works.
- From recovery I flashed again AOSP 1.8 over the AOSP 1.8, it DOES NOT works.
- Downloaded the GApps_Light_4.4.2_signed.zip, it DOES NOT works.
- So i was tired, and I installed from recovery SLX v26a CHINA.
- In SLX v26 I tried to log in with Google Play, and I logged in with success.
- Back in recovery I flashed again AOSP 1.8 over the SLX v26 china.
- Booting the AOSP 1.8, Google Play icon and files exist, but in SETTINGS->ACCOUNT there is no option to put a Google Account (only standard EMAIL ICON) and if you try adding it from Google Play, it crashes.
- Again, back in recovery, I Installed again GApps_Light_4.4.2_signed.zip
- Still in recovery, I tried a Wipe to Factory
- Back in the O.S. I tried to add an account in Settings->Accounts, and finally it works.
I found GApps_Light_4.4.2_signed.zip on XDA but i cant remember the address of the discussion. Mine was of size of 47.4 MB not the one of 50 MB, the second ones gave me an error in recovery.
Here there is the file from my GDrive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGOPBqfPRJXUzJvc0JOT2NfYlU/edit?usp=sharing

After installation I found a DIALER with russian alphabet.

STRANGE BATTERY BEHAVIOUR
The very first day I put the phone in AIRPLANE MODE with 35% at 00.00.
At 06.00 the battery was at 32%. Usually with other roms there is no such consumption of energy, with no variation of percentage displayed.
Around 8 it starts with a drammatic dropdown of enery, quicly decreasing from 30% to 11%, as in the screen.
This behaviour never happen again.

The second day, after a full charge, I installed a System App and rebboted the phone. After reboot from 100% I get 76 % of battery indication, with a "hole" in the battery graph and stats. I rebooted again and the indicator displayed 99%.
This behaviour never happen again.
--update--
Tonight I put my phone in ariplane mode at 50% of charge. This morning I found the battery at 41%. I was quite sure that were no apps using GPS, but from the following screen it seems that GPS was turned ON all nigth long.
Does airplane mode should turn off ALL the signals? Why GPS remain ON?

Q: How to Change Modem?
How to change modem version in this ROM?
with default modem from v1.8, one of my SIM not have signal. I tried to install different modem from another post from recovery but still no signal. I did the same method for another ROM (SLX 26 CN/KIT) and it worked.
Tried to installed another Android 4.4.2 (vibe), have the same problem, and still can not change the modem
Any one can help?

the modem-file in this Rom is:
modem_1_3g_n.img
that file must be replaced with root explorer par example, but don't forget to set the same permissions than before.
For me the baseband v101 works fine.
EDIT:
Maybe you need to replace both modem files. I did it first with modem.img, but there was no effect und then I replaced modem_1_3g_n.img.

Hi, what do you mean that BOTH FILES MUST BE REPLEACED?
In etc/firmware I have only one file called modem_1_3g_n.img, there is nothing more.
It's another modem in another folder?

Hi. You must look in /system/etc/firmware and /system/etc/mddb. This are the 2 directories or folders you must use.
Example:
In:/system/etc/firmware you will find the file called: modem.img
In:/system/etc/mddb you will find the file called: BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6589_S00_P780_V23
Do you understand now?
Look in my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/how-modems-t2757923
There you will find a bunch of modems to patch from TWRP.
First backup your modem files then HAPPY PATCHING.
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

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.

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!
Everyone, if you need assistance come to my new telgram group. I will help you when I can with any problem and feel free to ask me any questions! :https://t.me/joinchat/G-BflEMjGlgp1NeWxDA2bA
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.
GREAT JOB,. This ROM is finer than frog hair!
Pretty fluid and fast.
Nice start with ROM I got problem.

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 ?
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!

Hi. Thank you for sharing.
I have been running it for a few hours and I love all the additions of features and the Android TV look (I used Mi Box S before so I prefer this look)
I do have one problem though. On stock firmware, I was able to pass through the audio to my sound bar in kodi (this lets me listen to Dolby Atmos and other surround sound technologies). I tried everything on your rom to make it work but it doesn't seem to work at all.
What worked in stock firmware:
Droid settings - sound - switch it to manual - enable all the options and set DTS to 20%. Go to Kodi, go to Kodi audio settings and enable passthrough, then play a dolby Atmos or DTS file and my soundbar said "Dolby Atmos" or "DTS" whenever I played the respective file.
In your rom:
There are three settings apps. 1 is droid settings from stock firmware, 1 is aosp settings app from stock firmware and 1 is the new settings app with extra features.
I have tried changing the droid settings sound options like on stock firmware but that does not work. I have tried using the new settings apps sound options (tried manual, auto, always allow etc etc) and that does not work either. I'm unable to get passthrough audio.
I always get PCM, even in Atmos/Dolby Digital/DTS files. My sound bar supports all of these codecs, and the box can do passthrough audio as I have already tried it on the stock firmware.
It's possible that it's due to viper4android? But I have disabled the master switch in viper as well.
Sorry for the long post but I was trying to be as detailed as possible. Honestly, apart from this, I have zero issues with your rom. I wanted to use it as a daily driver but this sound output option is a big problem as I watch a lot of 4K movies with Atmos and DTS.
If anyone is considering this rom but don't care about the issue I'm having, go for it. There are no other issues in this rom and is easily a daily driver. Works very well and highly recommended from my end.

I don't think you can install TWRP on x96 air. But you can use the hinged TWRP to boot into TWRP whenever you want through the stock recovery.

I believe this rom is specific to X96Air. I think the vendor is exclusive to this model and that's probably what's causing the issue on your box. I suppose you can try to flash slimbox over on the freaktab forums instead.
Thanks for this, I tried the slimbox rom already and it doesn't boot up all the way. The slimbox works better on my S905X2 box.

Hi, owning this box, we can install TWRP in recovery by flashing with AmlogicFlasherV1.0 and the TWRP.img which is in the archive HERE, beware it will be ROOT before.
