Nice to see a new rom I'II trying later tonight ?
Is the main difference between this ROM and the Fennec ROM the base you built it on. Any advantage from moving to this ROM? At a glance they look about the same benefit. Speed? Battery Life? Anything I'm missing? Thanks in advance to anyone that can answer.

This ROM has all carrier functions and files...unlike Fennec ROM...
The carrier ROMs always use more resources than Unlocked ROMs but I made some modifications to improve performance...
I will be modding this one differently than Fennec...as well
If you like carrier look...this is your ROM
If you like Unlocked look...Fennec is the fox you hunt

It's a flushable zip that you flash with Flashfire, as we don't have TWRP.
What carrier are you on? You can use Phone Info app in the play store to put your csc back.
Kernel part he'll have to answer that, but I'm assuming it's just stock.

If you flash the optional Odin files, V3 is the 3ARA3 kernel, V2.5 is the 2AQL1 kernel...or keep the SamFail kernel you are on...
It is for SM-N950U1 and SM-N950U

Flash the Odin files first or after flashing the rom?
NVM: I didn't read all the steps through
Do weta mod and or twiz mods work on this?

Bevor you do something with your Device do a Backup of all your Data (Contacts, Pic´s ect.) outside of your Device (in a Cloud or on your PC)I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD Cards, broken phone chargers etc.You do all at your own Risk!
If you are new, just work the first 3 steps from top to bottom.
Flash Root & Odin3:
At the https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ site you can Download the the Root File for your Device (Link to A300FU). When you Downloaded the "CF-Auto-Root-xxx.zip" File unzip it. In this zip you will find the Odin3xxx.exe and the Root .tar.md5 File
You need this Odin3 tool also for TWRP and going Back to Stock Rom
For Root: Make sure your device is in ODIN download mode (you can get there by holding VolDown+Home+Power when the device is turned off), then start the included Odin3xxx.exe file, press the PDA/AP button, select the Root .tar.md5 file, and click Start, never interrupt this action! You can find more detailed instructions and assistance at [CENTRAL] CF-Auto-Root Thread
Flash TWRP:
You can Download the TWRP File at the [RECOVERY][ROOT][TWRP 3.0.2-1]Samsung Galaxy A3(2015) SM-A300F/FU/G/H/M Thread. I recommend the Build from Post 80 it has working MTP & OTG for the FU Device!
To Install Start download mode (you can get there by holding VolDown+Home+Power when the device is turned off), then start the Odin3xxx.exe file, press the PDA/AP button, select the TWRPxxx.tar file, and click Start, never interrupt this action! After Reboot you can get there by holding VolUp+Home+Power when the device is turned off.
There are also a TWRP 2.8.7.0 and a TWRP 3.0.0-0 but both have small bugs so i recommend TWRP 3.0.2-1 only if you have Problems try to downgrade
TWRP Bugs:
TWRP 2.8.7.0 Can only Install CM12.1 ROMs, it has no MTP & no OTG
TWRP 3.0.0-0 Can only Install CM13 ROM & it has no MTP but OTG is Working
TWRP 3.0.2-1 Can not install @cbolumar ROMs and the Build from Opening Post has no OTG
TWRP 3.1.0 Only tested with LineageOS, it still has no MTP!!!
Flash a Custom ROM:
You can Install a ROM now with TWRP you can enter TWRP by holding VolUp+Home+Power when the device is turned off.
In TWRP IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO DO FIRST A BACKUP! (I Recommend to placed at the SD Card)
Backup -> Storage : Micro SDcard -> Ok -> [x] Boot, [x] System, [x] Data, [x] Cache, [x] Recovery, [x] EFS, [x] MODEM, [x] APNHLOS -> Swipe to Backup
If anything goes wrong you can easy Restore your Device in TWRP without losing anything, so it's also recommended to Backup your Custom ROM
Now you need your Custom Rom, Google Apps like Opengapps for ARM and i recommend latest Magisk[/URL, OR (if you prefer) [URL="http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu"]SuperSU to Manage Root Access.
Place this zip Files at your Device (I Recommend to placed at the SD Card)
Now you enter TWRP and go to:
Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> [x] Dalvik / ART Cache, [x] System, [x] Data, [x] Cache -> Swipe to Wipe
Now go back to main menu and select:
Install -> Storage : Micro SDcard -> Ok -> now choose your ROM zip first, you can "Add More Zips" and choose Gapps zip and if you want you can Add direct Magsik OR SuperSU zip as well -> Swipe to Confirm Flash
After placing files the Device need a Reboot, at the First Start it will Install your Rom, so be patiently at first start!
Flash Xposed:
Magisk user on Android M (6.x) or better follow this Thread [2018.5.6][Magisk] Systemless Xposed v89.3/v90.2-beta3 (SDK 21-27) by topjohnwu
SuperSU user on Android M (6.x) or better follow this Thread [OFFICIAL] Xposed for Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat/Oreo [v90-beta3, 2018/01/29]
info:
SDK 21: Android 5.0 | SDK 22: Android 5.1 | SDK 23: Android 6.0 | SDK 24: Android 7.0 | SDK 25: Android 7.1 | SDK 26: Android 8.0 | SDK 27: Android 8.1
at CM12.1 ROM's Offical Xposed works fine.
Download the "sdk22-arm" zip, and Install it with TWRP first start need a long time! be patient!
After the Framework is installed you install the "XposedInstaller" apk, done.
For stock rom you should visit [UNOFFICIAL] Xposed for Samsung Lollipop by arter97 but it´s for deodex'ed ROMs for this you should visit [Deodex][SM-A300] Deodex Thread for Samsung Galaxy A3
emtepe35 said:
Working only on MM touchwiz (tested by me on A300FU with TWRP 3.0.2-1)
How to install:
- Install this Xposed Installer App version http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440
- Make a nandroid backup
- Copy the Xposed file and the uninstaller to your sdcard
- Flash "xposed-vxx.x-sdkxx-tw-armxx-custom-build-by-wanam-xxxxxxxx.zip" through a custom recovery (TWRP/CWM...)
- Reboot and Waiiiiiiiiit, it may take several minutes to boot up depending on your Rom size.

Flash Stock ROM:
Download your Firmware at Sammobile than i recommend you to Wipe all (Advanced Wipe) in TWRP except the SDcard!
Boot your Device in ODIN download mode (you can get there by holding VolDown+Home+Power when the device is turned off), then start the Odin3xxx.exe file, press the PDA/AP button, select the .tar.md5 file, and click Start, never interrupt this action!
After doing this you lose TWRP and Root so if you need it you have to install it new.
You should not try to Flash 4.x ROMs it could Brick your Device!

Nice guide. Which one would you recommend between the CM12.1 and CM12.1 RR?
Also, for downgrading TWRP, you just need to flash the older version, right?

And you can anytime time flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 again if you have to Install new

Thanks I tried this but I flashed wrong firmware and wifi was broken but I know how to repair it.
Tomorrow I'll try flash compatible firmware and try again.
After flash MM and reflash LP it was a bootloop in first boot. I went to download mode and flash twrp then restore backup and it boots up.
Thanks

OK I've got one last question the wipe in twrp means it deleting it to zero and if I accidentally go to system and not to download I'll get hard brick? Or wipe means it restoring it to factory files? Wipe modem too?

As far i know, it will not working with Stock MM.
Known issues:
- Bootloops on Samsung stock ROMs. That's due to Samsung's changes to ART. There are unofficial builds that work around this by deodexing and adjusting the ROM.

Stock ROM:
Download your Firmware at Sammobile than i recommend you to Wipe all (Advanced Wipe) in TWRP except the SDcard!
Boot your Device in ODIN download mode (you can get there by holding VolDown+Home+Power when the device is turned off), then start the Odin3xxx.exe file, press the PDA/AP button, select the .tar.md5 file, and click Start, never interrupt this action!
After doing this you lose TWRP and Root so if you need it you have to install it new.

What is KNOX?
"Knox is a new security feature that is being offered with certain Samsung handsets. It helps you to securely separate your personal and professional data. Essentially, you can have the benefits of using a ‘work phone’ without the need to carry, and secure, a separate device." -blog.clove.co.uk
"Normal (unrooted and so..) devices are flaged as KNOX Void Warranty 0x0 right from the factory.
When we flash items which weren’t signed by Samsung, it flags your device as KNOX Void Warranty 0x1.
So, flashing recovery/kernel/custom rom or rooting will set KNOX status to 0x1." - omegadroid.co
Once the KNOX gets voided, you lose the warranty. (there are some cases where people say that Samsung repaired their phone for free while Knox was voided though).

What does mean ROOT?
Rooting, for those of you that don’t know, means giving yourself root permissions on your phone. It’s similar running programs as administrators in Windows, or running a command with sudo in Linux. With a rooted phone, you can run apps that require access to certain system settings, as well as flash custom ROMs to your phone, which add all sorts of extra features. If you’re on the fence about rooting, check out our top 10 reasons to root your Android phone for some motivation." - Lifehacker

ROOT ADVANTAGES
Credits @danarama @abaaaabbbb63
"-De-bloat your phone. Uninstall any unwanted system apps.
-More control over how the CPU acts. This can increase performance or battery life, depends on how you configure it.
-More control over power consumption. This implies undervolting your CPU, giving it less power, so it consumes less.
-More control over how apps start up. Prevent apps from starting up when they don't need to.
-Flash custom ROMs. Bored of the stock ROM and look? Then try a custom ROM.
-Improve your privacy
-Backups: The ability to completely backup your phone, and fully restoring it to the time of the backup. This is done with a Nandroid Backup (we'll talk about this later)
-Mods and Inovations. Use many mods, fixes, tweaks or features created by the XDA community!
-Custom Kernels: By using a custom kernel, the performance or battery life can be improved alot.
-Run apps that need Root Permission. These apps can be very useful, like AdAway, Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, Terminal Emulator and many others!"

ROOT DISADVANTAGES
Credits @danarama @abaaaabbbb63
"-Rooting will void your warranty (although reverting root is very easy).
-Your phone might get bricked if you will do system modifications, but usually you can restore your phone by flashing the official stock rom.
-No more over the air official updates. You'll have to update your phone manually, through your recovery. (which isn't that hard)"

What is a Custom Recovery?
A custom recovery is a third-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment with a third-party, customized recovery environment. This is a bit like flashing a custom ROM like CyanogenMod  but, instead of replacing your device’s Android operating system, it replaces the recovery environment.
"A custom recovery environment will do the same things as the stock Android recovery. However, it will also have additional features. Custom recoveries often have the ability to create and restore device backups." - howtogeek.com
On our Galaxy J5, you can enter the recovery by holding Power + Home + Volume UP buttons.

What is Download Mode?
"Download mode is for flashing radio firmware/ROM upgrade through official means.
For example, ODIN is commonly used on Samsung devices to flash ROMs, those devices needs to be in download mode prior to flashing. However, ODIN is not the official way to do it, rather Kies, is the official route in upgrading the firmware, this is for Samsung devices for example." - android.stackexchange.com
You can enter the download mode by holding Power + Home + Volume down buttons.

What is the Xposed Framework?
"The Xposed Framework is a way to make system-level changes to your Android operating system without installing a custom ROM. All you need is root access." - howtogeek.com
For example, you can remap your phone buttons, gain control over apps permissions and some more privacy, customize your phone.

What is SELinux?
SELinux, which was introduced in Android 4.3, is a mandatory access control system built into the Linux kernel, in order to help enforce the existing access control rights (i.e.permissions), and to attempt to prevent privilege escalation attacks (i.e. an app trying to gain root access on your device).

What is a CPU Governor?
"A CPU governor in Android controls how the CPU raises and lowers its frequency in response to the demands the user is placing on their device. Governors are especially important in smartphones and tablets because they have a large impact on the apparent fluidity of the interface and the battery life of the device over a charge.
NOTE: You cannot change your CPU governor unless your phone is rooted and you have a ROM or app that lets you make a change. Also, different kernels (the intermediary software between your phone's hardware and the operating system) offer different sets of governors." - @Saber

What is a Kernel and a custom Kernel?
KERNEL: "The kernel is kinda like the nervous system of the body. It directly interacts with the hardware (which is how it is able to adjust CPU speed) and it is what allows the ROM to function." - @bassmadrigal
CUSTOM KERNEL: A custom kernel is a modified kernel which can have more features like: undervolting, overclocking, more governors, more frequencies, double tap to sleep etc.
A custom kernel can improve the performance and battery of your phone.

How to do / restore a Nandroid Backup (BACKUP PHONE):
American_Jesus said:
Nandroid backup
Basically, this so-called Nandroid backup can save you a lot of trouble in case you soft-brick your device. In just a few clicks, your whole system is restored and your device is fully functioning again, as if nothing ever happened. In this short guide, I’ll give you the simple steps so that you can make a backup yourself to be on the safe side. I’ll also show you how you can transfer your backup to your computer so that you don’t need to keep it on your device to save space.
How to do a Nandroid backup
1. Prerequisites
In order to be able to make a Nandroid backup, your Android device has to be rooted and needs to have a custom recovery tool.
2. Go into recovery
To get into your recovery, you first need to boot your device into the bootloader. This can be done by turning it on holding down the Power + Home + Volume UP buttons.
3. Do the nandroid backup
Once you’re inside the recovery it’s a piece of cake.
TWRP:
Go to “Backupâ€
Choose the partitions you want to back up. If you’re not sure what to choose, simply leave the default selections.
Make the backup by swiping to the right at the bottom.
Your device should now perform the backup process, once that’s done you can reboot your device.
4. Transfer the Nandroid Backup to a computer
Now, depending on how many apps and files you installed, your backup might take away quite some space. To avoid that, you can transfer the whole Nandroid backup to your computer and delete it on your device. Should you ever need to restore your device, you only need to transfer it back.
TWRP:
Connect your device to your computer and go to the TWRP folder on your device. In there, a folder containing your backup can be found. If you have several on your device, they will be separated so that you can choose only the folder you need. After you successfully copied the folder, you can delete the one on your device.
5. Restore your device using your Nandroid backup
That’s an easy one as well. Simply boot into recovery, select “Restoreâ€.
Now you can choose the backup you want to use and restore your device. Once that’s finished, reboot your device and you’re done!

There is no custom kernel for Marshmallow.
Furthermore, the overclock has been removed from cm sources to reduce the battery drain and phone heat.

Samsung Galaxy S8 (Snapdragon)
PLEASE READ READ READENTIRE OP
"ALL MAJOR WORK DONE BY HASHCODE SO GO GIVE HIM SOM THANKS.DO NOT POST ANY BUG OR ISSUE COUSED BY THIS RECOVERY IN ORIGINAL THREAD BY HASHCODE, POST HERE AND I WILL HELP YOU."
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
BETA v4.09-B01 [Nougat:7.0]
WHAT IS SAFESTRAP?
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. The goal is to avoid touching your primary system (I'll call this "stock" system) and only flash or make large changes to another place on your phone that Safestrap treats as a "2nd system" (in this case, it's a series of virtual ROM slots located on the internal emmc area: "/sdcard"). Once installed, you will see a "Splashscreen" giving you the option to hit "menu" to enter recovery. The recovery portion of Safestrap is now based on TWRP 3.3.0 (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here. The additional features I've added to TWRP are mostly located under the "Boot Options" menu:
Here you can create virtual ROM-slots for flashing ROMs. NOTE: The bigger you make the /data partition the less room you will have to make other ROM-slots.
You can activate a new ROM-slot by choosing the slot you wish to make active and then selecting the "Activate" button. Once active, you will see the "rom-slot#" up in the top of the screen shown in green. If you make the "stock" ROM active, then you can see it in the top shown in red.
Once a ROM-slot is active, all actions you would normally perform using TWRP are directed to that ROM-slot. For example, "Install" to flash a .zip, backup and restore.
HOW DO I INSTALL SAFESTRAP?
Requirement: Root
[Safestrap pre V4.07] Requirement: busybox. Grab "Busybox" from the Play Store and run the installer.
APK install:
Once installed, open up the Safestrap application, Agree to the disclaimer that you won't try to sue me and hunt me down with a rifle if you manage to break your phone..
Then use the "Install Recovery" button. You should see the current version down in the lower left corner of the window. And the "Status:" should say "Installed" when you're done.
From there you can reboot and you *should* see a new splash screen during the boot up. While this is showing you can enter Safestrap Recovery using the [ menu ] button.
Flashable zip:
Flash using Safestrap recovery or FlashFire.
HOW DO I ENTER RECOVERY?
During each reboot a splashscreen will be displayed showing whether the device is running a rom-slot or on the "Stock ROM".
Press the button shown on the screen to either enter "RECOVERY" or "CONTINUE" booting (or the hard button underneath each option).
HOW DO I UPGRADE SAFESTRAP?
APK:
Push the APK up to your sdcard.
Boot back into the "stock" rom-slot.
Open your old Safestrap app and use the "Uninstall Recovery" button
Browse to where you pushed the APK
Click on it and install like normal
Once installed, open the APK, Grant SU access, Use the "Install Recovery" button.
Flashable zip:
Flash using Safestrap recovery or FlashFire.
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Sometimes the installation doesn't work correctly. If you don't see the splashscreen after a rebooting. Install Safestrap again.

WARNING: Safestrap is heavily modified to be "Safe" for your device. Do not download TWRP from their website and expect it to work the same way. Also TWRP does not support Safestrap, tho some issues that may come up will be TWRP dependant, please try and contact myself or look on the forums for your device for answers before hunting down TWRP people. They won't be able to help w/ Safestrap specific questions.

Thanks a bunch for this bad a#$ tool/utility this makes my life as an avid modder so much easier when flashing and modding system files awesome work and yes I did have to change the mount points to get my zip to flash and aroma is working as well!!!!!!!!! :good::highfive::good:
Dang Ive been busy all stinkin day and just come across it.
Nice......
Whoa, this is awesome! So this isn't exactly unlocking the bootloader, right? It's just one of the first custom recoveries working on Snapdragon? This is super cool, thank you!

Just wait, I will start working on new ROM soon.
Also stock odin flashable including SS and ROOT (flashing ENG boot to enable them).
Damn, I never thought I'd see the day So I the battery is still locked to 80% right? Anyway good job and best of luck in future developments man!
Confirmed working on G950W. Great job! One nitpick I have about is that scrolling is incredibly laggy/stuttery, otherwise the whole package works fine other than the rom slots.

Will try to fix lag issue soon.
Does this work for all snapdragon S8s, or only the unlocked variants? I have the Tmobile version and would love this.
Also, any ROMs that come from this, will they still have the 80% battery life issues if the custom ROM doesn't use root (I'm not sure if all custom ROMs require root or not). Do the ROMs still have to be based on stock samsung, or could we see AOSP style ROMs with this?

Support all snapdragon variants of S8. Unless they has different partition layout.
How does this affect things like knox flag and safetynet? Do we have access to system and kernel?

Bootloaders still locked. So Knox isn't tripped but as you have to be rooted to do this is say safety nets broke

Version Information
Status: Testing
Created 2018-08-26
Last Updated 2020-08-15
Installation and Download
Important :
- This will void warranty.
- As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Secure folder forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help. (hope in future we can get it working on tripped knox device)
- OTA likely won't work once you root device.
Installation :
If you are on stock ROM/Recovery, follow below said steps
1.Enable Developer Option (settings - about phone - Software information - Tap 7 times on build number to activate developer option in settings menu)
2.Enable OEM Unlock from developer option (If you don't have this option then read this you can't flash ROM before this option available.)
3.Download and copy ROM File to Ext SD card, Use ES file/Root explorer or any similar to check MD5, it should be match with provided in download section.
4.Download TWRP
5.Switch Off device
6.Press Vol down + Bixby and then connect device to PC to reboot to download mode, press volume up when asked to continue to download mode
7.Download Odin and open it, Disable 'Auto reboot' from option menu of Odin
8.Select TWRP (tar image) with AP tab of Odin and Start
9.Once Successfully flashed, you will see 'Passed' in Odin tab
10.Disconnect device and hold Vol down + power till screen goes off, Now immediately press Vol Up + Bixby + Power to reboot to TWRP
11.Select to allow modification
12.From TWRP, Select WIPE menu - Then FORMAT DATA - You need to type 'yes' to perform wipe. WARNING : This will erase all data including Int SD storage from device
13.Once format device completes, go back and select REBOOT' Menu and then - 'RECOVERY', This will reboot to TWRP again
14.Now select Install and navigate path to Ext SD card - ROM zip file, you have copied earlier
15.Read installation instruction of ChangeLog post for vendor.img It may be available inside ROM zip or may need to flash separately, depending on version of ROM
15.Let device boot, and read ROM specific Instructions below.
If you are on CWM recovery and custom ROM already, Follow below said steps.
1.Download ROM zip and place on Int Storage/Ext SD and check MD5
2.Reboot to recovery and select factory reset and flash ROM zip you have copied in step 1.
3.Let device boot,Read ROM specific instructions below.
Some ROM specific instructions
1. On boot, you will see a notification about don't use any app that requires root, wait till that notification to disappear. This issue explained in MustRead.txt file in download area. Also after first boot, wait for ROM Tool to open, it will provide option for some important fix.
2. ROM doesn't have any CSC included as now csc have separate partition (ODM). ROM will not erase/flash/modify files inside odm partition it and you will have your existing CSC even after flashing a ROM
3.Vendor partition may be included in ROM or available separately (Read changelog of version you are installing) .It is recommended to flash it specifically you are on different base.
4.Since Pie version, OEM is pre-fixed with kernel patch and after flashing ROM, you may find OEM option in developer settings but it will be disable, it is actually because of hack/fix applied. In real case if it is disabled then you may not able to boot rom with TWRP. Simply ignore it.
Read ChangeLog of ROM you are going to flash for any specific instructions. Link to changelog is available in next post below.
Can I dirty flash (without factory reset) ROM? No, We don't recommend it. If you are able to handle consequences with dirty flash then proceed, but don't post bugs in forum without clean installing ROM.
PS : Who can handle consequences of dirty flashing, they never need to ask this question in forum.
For Encryption - Read This
Download : https://drketanrom.com/
Instructions provided above are for latest version of ROM only, on previous versions of ROM it may or may not be same, we recommend to flash latest ROM only.

It's also On line. Though couple of features will added to next release. I believe only main missing is CSC features, that I have to re-write completely as N9 using new partition for CSC.
Just flashed it, now it bootloops, gonna try flash it again...it did complain that i couldn't mount vendor partition when installing the rom
First of all many thanks for this rom. Seriously.
I have flashed and used this rom for the past hour and everything seems to be working well. No crashes so far and no issues with any of the included options either. Smooth and responsive too.
There are many features in this rom. I love the additional lock screen, always on display and edge lighting customisation.
This is truly fantastic!

I installed it without selecting the vendor installation option in aroma installer. Maybe try that? I installed kernel and magisk using the aroma installer though.
Your vendor doesn't need to be reinstalled. Your stock ROM already had it and twrp doesn't wipe it.
I am looking into it
Please don't select vendor meanwhile

Just the data. Click wipe, drag the slider to factory reset and that's it. I installed the kernel, magisk and mods using aroma. I did not install reknox, vendor.
I also did a twrp backup prior to installing the rom but I doubt that affects anything..
Just wait, I am uploading Fix for vendor mount error, don't rush for anything.

Bravo.
Everything is perfect.

Thank you!!!!
Does using this rom cause loss of warranty?..
Also for my region there is only EVA9. Will there be any issues using EVA9 over the absence of EVB1?

It will void warranty in certain countries but that's for you to check. Please download the latest FW for DBT and then the rom will flash just fine.

ThinRom V1.4
Based on Android 12 N986B XXS3FVC5 firmware
Supported Devices: Note 20 Ultra N986B
This is an MPB (my personal build) that is heavily debloated and has pretty much only edge panels left in it. Everything that could be removed safely (except edge panel) has been removed however system apps like camera, calandar, calculator, play store etc are still included.
The aroma only has a choice of clean or dirty and will automatically flash a full screen caller mod, boot animation and all available csc mods.
The rom is only 2.97gb in size and because it's my personal build I will not be adding things back into it.
If you're after an extremely light rom that's optimised for speed and battery then this is for you!
ROM Features
Supported devices: N986B (N20 Ultra)
Stock Samsung kernel
CSC features: camera shutter sound menu, real time network speed in statusbar, etc)
Knox fully removed and ROM light debloated
Screenshots in secure apps allowed

Build.prop tweaks
Warning boot screen removed, custom boot animation
Automatic EFS backup
For Safetynet use kdrag0n patch v2.2.x

Can you post a SS because I don't really understand what you're saying mate.
How is battery in this ROM compared to stock?
Banking apps working?
Banking apps work fine as long as you know how to use zygisk and battery is different for every user but for me it is alot better.
First post updated with May firmware.
I love this ROM. One thing is bugging me as I use two SIMs and nned two accounts on WhatsApp but Dual Messenger option is greyed out, how to enable it
