I have two s7 edges, one stock rom which works fine and this one - which was stock rom until last night. I rooted and installed KINGROM and everything is lovely, all except now my gear vr won't recognize when it's attached so won't install any software.
I wanted to post in the kingrom forum, but I don't have enough posts to do so, so I have to ask here.
Does anyone know why the headset isn't triggering the install? I can confirm it worked when on stock rom, and the KINGROM page claims that the vr is fully supported.

Many thanks
You gotta fix all those formatting on your post dude.
I dont have THAT specific rom but maybe it has an aroma installer where it gives you the option to enable it? The superman rom i had that, i selected it and my gear vr works perfectly.

Most ROM Makers remove apps that your MAJORITY dont use, VR could be one of them.
You may need to add it in yourself, Or it could be a option when installing.
If you have two phones, then check for the APK in system, and if its there, see if its present in your ROM where VR does not work.

nice to know superman rom works with VR... im already on that ROM and im planning to buy a VR instead of buying a google cardboard knockoff (aka the chinese vr boxes)...
@Toldorn
i use kingrom and vr is working flawlessly
in aroma when you flash it it gives option to remove apps you don't want and I'm sure you removed gear vr apps required to work
reflash it and don't remove anything.dont select any app in 3rd and 4th pages in aroma

Hi all! First of Thanks all devs for all of your work (never got oppertunity to give thx)! Have been downloading custom rom's from here since S4^^. (I hope I'm in the right forum sub group)
My goal has been to be able to use a custom rom with viper mod, and root to be working with the gear vr without the lag issue.
Ok, so I have been trying different custom rom/kernel mixes for a while now only flashed stuff from my variant (928F) Forum threads. But I have allways have to reflash pure stock to get the Gear VR working without the lag.
I've tried to mix Skyhigh kernel with CRISSCROSS ROM V1.4 [928F/C/G/I][5.1.1][11.12.15][XXU2AOKB][Aroma], Deodexed STOCK ROM 928 F-I-C-L-K-S-G Edge+ [AOK4][3/12/15].
Audax Rom with Audax Kernel and also just rooted stock. Obviously i have been googling, and almost everywhere I didnt find a solution for it.
But in this thread it is stated that the [KERNEL] Stock Modified Kernel | TouchWiz | Auto-Root + Busybox | 11.18.2015 for the T variant and that it is also working for the 928F variant (awesome!!!). However to the question: While on the 928F variant what custom-roms can I use with the Modified kernel by jovy23 (928t) ? Will it be custom roms from the 928F forums or the custom roms from the 928T forums *confused* ? What particular custom roms running smooth and working can anyone recommend one or a few ?
answers would be nice and many thx to this forum and its devs!
I think it is early in the game ...might change tomorrow. And thank you to the devs and Merry Christmas.
Man, i wish i saw this thread before flashed to a custom rom,
nobody mentions the lag issue! (not on reddit or oculus forum)...
hopefully you can resolve this problem, but back to stock for me.
Hey! I got it to work on my 928F
Root, Viper Audio and Gear VR (without lag)
1st I flashed arter97-recovery (through ODIN)
2nd I flashed Kos Rom v3.0 RC4 by kossiewossie in recovery (F Variant)
3rd I flashed [KERNEL] Stock Modified Kernel by jovy23 (T Variant)
..I did full wipe, davik, cache (I dont know if it was necessary)
Now it run flawless, Root, Viper Audio working and Gear VR without the lag
Merry Christmas and A Happy new year XDA :victory:

Thank you thank you thank you.. That did it for me. I was going crazy on this. Tried everything. I almost gave up on it.
But I did exactly what you did and it works like a charm.
Getting rid of the motion sickness now ?
Happy Holidays everybody. Best Christmas present ever

Can confirm that Criss Cross Rom by asc1977 works too. Only thing is that you have to flash Gear VR zip seperatly through recovery. :good:
Probarly as stated in another thread here on XDA the Gear VR "App" lag is a kernel issue. I think since the Modified Kernel by jovy23 is close to stock it works. So maybe all Custom Rom(928F) will work with Gear VR if you flash jovy23's kernel.
Awesome Work Devs for flashaholics like me xD

That is true.
I had Kos Rom v3.0 RC8 with Sky kernel and the Gear VR was terrible. (except for the Google cardboard apps)
I removed the Sky kernel App (SYNAPSE) and flashed the "[KERNEL] Stock Modified Kernel" over the Sky kernel in TWRP. (no wipe of anything)
Now it works like a charm.
Thanks!
Does it works for a S6 edge plus?
Have a doubt guys if I do the same will it work for me?
its a s6 edge plus model: SM-G928A

Im on marshmallow with sky high... but my note 5 does not detect charger when plug in to VR... please help

this rom more stable ,smooth
Hello guys! fist thing, I searched for the answer on other threads but can't find what I'm looking for. Basically I'm a newbie in this sort of things, I rooted my Note 3 yesterday and now I seek for a good rom for my phone. I felt the urge to do so because I wanted to get rid of the stock apps (like chaton, s health and so on. I tried to uninstall them with system app remover but they keep coming back as soon as I turn on the Wifi) and to have more control of my device, but since there're so many roms I got a bit confused, especially when it comes to kernel stuff etc.
I want a stable rom (with a normal battery drain) which gives me the possibility to use the S-Pen (I use the stylus often for taking fast note and stuff) and NFC.
I really liked the DarkWolf rom which basically convert a note 3 into an S7, battery life is good, S pen works fine BUT seems like it comes with samsung bloatwares and NFC doesn't work.
So, is there a rom that respect my needs?? what about the kernel? which one should I use??
thanks in advance
PS. My note 3 is the N9005 model,rooted, running official Samsung android 5.0
Go for AryaMod - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-aryamod-v1-tw-lollipop-t2990920
If you by any chance don't mind about NFC then I'd go for Phronesis - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...om-phronesis-rom-v1-0-stable-feature-t3241910
Both have solid battery life without the need of tweaking the kernel. The kernel is good out of the box.
About your problem of apps installing back then why don't just disable them from Settings- Application Manager or disable auto download updates from play store. Since your are rooted you can use a root explorer and go to /system/apps and /system/priv-app to delete them completely.
Remove bloatware via Titanium Backup Pro .
Dont confuse yourself with kernels use the one that comes with the rom .

First thanks for the reply I can overlook NFC if Phronesis is better or has additional features than Aryamod however is there something good based on marshmallow?

Marshmallow ports has lots of bugs and battery drains a bit faster than LP though not that much. I'm currently on Darklord S7 Edge Beta2 port. Though all basic things are working like Wifi, BT and Data so I can do stuff with an internet. Camera has bugs like modes are not working only the stock capture and recording.
Some bugs for marshmallow based on darklord's rom, some are already fixed in bete 2;
- Always on not working
- Sound alive not working
- Sview not working
- Some camera mode not working (hardware limited)
- Hotspot not working
- Do not disturb time setting FC
- Handwriting not working
- Direct input cant change language
I think Phronesis rom has more features since its a Note5 port with a little touch of edge feature. I'm quite happy with it overall. It's the rom I'm using when going out of town or out of the country. The thread also has a Q&A section so you can find things faster when you encounter a problem. It also has some alternatives for NFC in q&a.
Ah totally forgot about Titanium Backup. As @JJEgan said you can remove bloatware from it as well instead of manually deleting them using a root explorer.
EDIT:
Phronesis rom comes with a kernel so you don't have to worry about them. It is good out of the box without tweaking it. For Arya I forgot already, maybe it is using the stock kernel and that is the reason why you have to flash official rom first before flashing it.
Thank you bratboo and JJEgan for the help. I think I'll give a shot to Phronesis waiting for a more stable marshmallow based rom
Hi,

Please could someone assist me in finding a rom

Hi,

Im new to the Android-Family and want to flash my Active Tab SM-T365 with a Custom ROM to get rid of the hole Bloatware that came with it.
Anyone has any suggestions?
Regards Nic

In my experience, it's often more stable to root the stock firmware and then remove the bloatware (using Titanium Backup or Link2SD). That way you have a rom that's tailored for the device and you don't have issues like the camera not working on custom roms, certain video codecs that aren't supported, ...
Unless there's an official CyanogenMod or LineageOS for the device.

That is what I want, but can't seem to get it done. The newest Magisk is not working. Older versions aren't. Anyone got it done? Just need root to get storage rights for external SD for Syncthing..
ok, got root working now. used the "old" way, supersu, for an old ROM..
Hi, anyone knows if there is any rom with Mirror link working?
Mirror link is not screen Mirror to the TV. It is the connection to the car MP5 with the USB and you can manage your phone with the car touch screen.
If It doesn't work now but anyone knows if nearly It will be implemented in any rom please say me in which one.
Thanks and regards.
I'm looking into this as well, I've been wanting to install a custom rom such as @Ivan_Meler LOS Rom, but it has pushed my phone to a "Phone is not compatible" reading on the headunit.
Little back story:
I have a Samsung Gal. S7 and a Honda Civic 2015 and I've been able to do Mirrorlink when it was working on a completely stock rom. Only problem was I was trying to mirrorlink the full phone screen and not have to use the Samsung Car mode, Rockscout, etc. I've tried every trick in the book even one which required the phone to be rooted. (AAUnlock and AAMirror) I used SuperSU, whick I should now look into trying Magisk, and see if that makes any difference.
What I've noticed is that once the phone is rooted, even on a stock rom, the Head Unit in my car switches to "Phone is not compatible". Again, I rooted it with SuperSU. I've been able to locate a S7 Stock Rom which I'll go back to and see if I can get that working again. Once that's established, I'll try with Magisk, and see if there's any difference.
So far with every rom I've tried including LOS (most Roms are based from LOS), the phone hasnt worked in mirrorlink. I'm hoping that @Ivan_Meler makes an update that allows it, as it seems his is the only ROM that gets updated on a frequent basis. I'm hoping that this (along with other issues) gets resolved on the Rom and this can become my daily driver.
Hello
Did you manage to make work your S7 mirrorlink with a rooted rom ?
Thanks
It works on omnirom 7.1.2, havent tried it on oreo/pie roms.

If you want to use these old roms, make sure you change the thermals. I highly recommend Jabashque 6, the links are on my thermals thread.
As good as that version of Omni is, Darkobas himself said that longterm use will kill dramatically hurt longterm battery life.
You could use the compatible Blackscreen with the Jabashque thermals and your experience will be perfect.
BY the way, Oreo and Pie Roms are awesome. If you try Pie tryout Lineage 16 its awesome!
Thanks
i want at least oreo, i tried Omni but Mirrorscreen does not work
Hey guys,
I really loved my S7 edge in the past, but with the last updates Samsung introduced some things that really bother me.
The worst things are the Samsung Members app and the "contact us" dialogue in every menu and the Volume safe warning.
Some weeks ago I decided to switch to a custom rom and found "SuperMan Rom" and "The Galaxy Project". Flashing these, I wasn't able to use Google Pay and Samsung Health anymore (even on stock). Root was always detected, even if not installed or hidden by magisk.
My Problem with these roms is, that they have built in features that I don't need and "SuperMan Rom" is discontinued...
I would like to have / make a rom which is the closest to stock possible, with all Apps which are not necessary removed and the latest version of those who are installed....and most important GPay and SHealth working.
Do you have any advice for me? I would be happy about any help!

your phone is rooted, so spay and shealth are gone. there has been talk of magisk finally finding a way to make it work, but i have yet too see it in person. youre SOL until they get that magisk thing ironed out
