The most hyped ROM is finally here! Being in XDA Developers' forum for quite some time, it tempted me to contribute something to our device and after EIGHT Months, I finally present Sami OS 1.0 for our Galaxy S Advance!
INTRODUCTION:
Based on Samsung's UBLPH firmware, the Sami OS 1.0 is a Custom ROM bundled with a lot of features along with a stunning Dark UI which obviously makes it a great alternative to Samsung's stock firmware because the purpose of creating this ROM is for Faster Performance, Longer Battery life and Smoother UI. Just like a Lamborghini, its both FAST and BEAUTIFUL!

DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING SAMI OS:
To Download my ROM, please visit its webpage and while it downloads you can spend your time reading all the instructions and tips that are mentioned in this thread. After the Download completes, you can start reading the instructions given below and please read all the instructions carefully to successfully install Sami OS...
Prerequisites:
A fully functional GT- i9070 or i9070P of course
Your phone must be having enough Battery charge (30% or more - just to be safe)
Your External SD Card must be having enough Storage capacity
Your phone must be running any of Samsung's Jellybean (4.1.2) firmware. If you're running Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread, then please upgrade to Jellybean 4.1.2 first! Or if you're running Android 4.2 or above then please downgrade to Jellybean 4.1.2, then you'll be able to install my ROM.
Your phone must be Rooted
Your phone must be running a custom kernel which has either TWRP or ClockworkMod recovery installed (Recommended Recovery: TWRP)
(Optional) You must have Odin and Samsung's USB Drivers Installed on your PC. You must also have a USB cable and a copy of Samsung's Jellybean firmware; just in case you fail to install Sami OS and end up with having no OS on your phone
(Optional but Recommended) You must backup all your Apps, Games, App data, Memos, Messages, Call logs, etc. to your External SD Card. But do note that I will not be held responsible if you lose all your files, apps and all your data since installing any ROM will require deletion of user data for preventing common installation errors.
Installation of Sami OS:
- Download my ROM and put it on your External SD Card (make sure it has sufficient space to store my ROM in there)
- Reboot to Recovery. To do that, turn off your phone and Press and hold Volume Up, Home and the Power button and release it when you see the Samsung Logo after a short vibration...
For people with TWRP Recovery:
- Go to Settings and Disable (un-check) Zip Signature Verification
- Then go to Mount and check (mount) System
- Then go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe and check System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache. Then swipe to wipe/erase them. As stated above, doing all these will erase pretty much everything on your phone so make sure you backed up everything first
- Then go back and select Install, switch to external_sd card and select "Sami_OS_For_GT-I9070.zip"
- Then swipe to flash it and the rest of the Installation should be automated, so wait for a while for the installation to finish
- After the Installation is over, it should show a "Successful" message in Blue text. Now all you have to do is press on Reboot to do Reboot to System!​
For people with CWM Recovery:
- Go to Wipe data/factory reset and Confirm its deletion
- Then go to Wipe cache partition and Confirm its deletion
- Then go to Advanced, then select wipe dalvik cache and Confirm its deletion
- Then go to Mounts and Storage and mount your system
- Then on the same menu, select Format /system, /cache, /data and /preload folders one by one
- Now go back to Main menu and select Install zip from sdcard
- Then toggle signature verification to DISABLE it
- Then on the same menu, select "choose zip from sdcard"
- Now search for "Sami_OS_For_GT-I9070.zip" and select to install it... the rest of the Installation will be automated, so wait for a while for it to finish
- After that's done you can now go back to main menu and choose "reboot system now" to Reboot your phone. And that's it!​
- Your phone should now reboot and it will be "stuck" on that "awesome" Boot Animation for a while; so don't worry.. it happens every time you install any Custom ROM - so there's nothing to worry about. Just wait for about 3 to 5 minutes.. BUT if your phone is experiencing a bootloop (i.e taking way too much time) then reboot to recovery and wipe your cache, dalvik cache and data again. If that too doesn't fix it then please refer "If Sami OS didn't successfully get installed" section below....
- If everything goes OK then you will see Sami OS' final installation wizard which requires you to setup your user language, your Wi-Fi, your Google Account, etc...
If you constantly keep getting Force Close errors on the Setup Screen, then do this:
Even though I never experienced this after flashing my ROM, this is what you should do if you have this problem:
- Reboot to Recovery
- And Fix Permission (TWRP: Advanced > Fix Permissions.... CWM: Advanced Menu > Select Fix Permissions)
If that did not work then here's what shut_down did to fix this issue:
- Reboot to Recovery
- Perform a Factory Reset and then Wipe Cache (Refer the instructions above.. you're just basically doing the same thing)​
If Sami OS didn't successfully get installed:
If things go horribly wrong then...
- DON'T PANIC
- Reboot to Recovery and wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache AND/OR perform a Factory Reset
- If that did not work then make sure that the zip you downloaded is "complete" and not "corrupted" and install again
If none of the above helps then follow the instructions below:
- Reboot to Recovery and wipe your entire System (i.e Everything!)
- Then reboot to Download Mode (to do that, turn off your phone and Press and hold Volume Down, Home and the Power button and release it when you see a picture of an Android logo after a short vibration...)
- Press volume up to continue and connect your phone with your PC using the USB Cable
- Open Odin and wait for it to recognize your phone
- Then click on PDA and choose your stock firmware
- After it verifies the .md5 checksum; click on Start without checking any other check-boxes or anything else
- It should then install Samsung's 4.1.2 firmware​
And that's pretty much it! So Congratulations, you just installed Sami OS on your phone! So now there's only one last crucial step remaining.. And that is to take pride and update your Signature and click on the Thanks Button. I hope that you will all enjoy using it...

The Digital Clock widget doesn't load.. Maybe because of the differences in version of Android or due to missing framework or library files (fixed in 1.3 Update)
MiXplorer - the default file explorer in Sami OS 1.2 has a bug. It will force close (almost) every time you browse through your Root partition. (fixed in 1.3 Update)

FAQs, Tips and Notes, My Opinion on my ROM, Credits and Acknowledgements
Should I install/update in a chronological order?
Yes. This means that you should install Sami OS 1.0 first (if you haven't already) and then reboot to system. Use your phone for a while and setup everything. Once all that is done, reboot to recovery and start installing the updates one by one (in a chronological order) without rebooting to system.
Is updating from 1.x to 1.z possible?
Yes, it is possible. But its recommended that you install 1.y first.. So that you won't miss out from any new features or fixes that were introduced in the 1.y update... I know that this will become a little tedious, but its the only way for me to keep the size of the updates smaller - so that it can be uploaded and downloaded much quickly. Detailed instructions on how to update to my ROM's latest version is available. Just look for it on the Second post of this thread.
Flashing so many zip files is a little tedious. Why not merge all the updates into one zip file?
Even though I've considered about doing this ever since I released the 1.1 Update, there are a lot of some reasons why I'm not doing this. You can download the ROM and all its updates and mods on your PC , extract them to a single folder and then manually merge/combine all of them. Once that's done, select the 3 folders (META-INF, system and vrtheme) and use any file archiving software (like 7-zip or WinRAR) to make a zip file out of it. Let me know if you bump into any problems.
Can I flash xyz performance/battery mods or scripts while I'm using your ROM on my phone?
No. My ROM already has a lot of scripts and various other tweaks and mods. So adding more will either have no effect or make things worse (slower performance, boot loop, high battery drain, etc.). So please ask me first before installing anything like this and I'll try to find out if it'll work on my ROM without any issues or not.
Tips & Notes:
Below are some tips and notes which I'm sharing from my experience:
Please don't use your phone after restarting or turning it on for at least a minute.. Its going to lag.. This is probably because the system is still busy loading all its services, files, apks, scripts and because the media server will be running in background.
You can use Greenify to disable most system apps like Google Play Services to get lower battery consumption (while phone is idle). Additionally, you can also use CoCore E 8.2 Kernel if you prefer better battery life over performance
The best way to clear your phone's RAM is by doing a Quick (Hot) Reboot instead of Normal Reboot.. This is because Hot Reboot just restarts the OS; not the entire device.. Thus its faster than a Normal Reboot and also doesn't drain your battery while it reboots
You need to disable MMS to save yourself from the recently discovered Stagefright security vulnerability by using a small app. Look for "Samsung_KNOX_and_ZHA_ap_MMSCtrl" under the Add-Ons section
If for some reason your phone's system partition becomes read-only then type this into Terminal Emulator:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
Before installing any mods or scripts please make sure that they are compatible with Sami OS! Because I added a lot of tweaks too; so my tweaks may interfere with the tweaks you install!
You can use apps like SDMaid Pro to maintain your phone's optimal performance by clearing cache, (old) logs, bulk of unneeded files and disabling auto-starting of certain apps on Boot
The safety_level is changed from 3 to 1 in libsqlite.so. So, there is a small risk of data corruption here. This is because no fsync is done before databases are committed into disk and hence it'll be faster but at the slight risk of corruption. This could include launcher widgets going missing or SMS messages going missing or corrupted etc.. But do note that this is the default behavior in JB 4.3, KK 4.4 and above. You can revert back to the older libsqlite.so file if you want to avoid any risk of data corruption.
If for some reason adb is no longer working then add this line below to your build.prop and then give it another try:
Code:
persist.service.adb.enable=1
After updating or installing my ROM, if you cannot see your accounts (e.g- Google, Yahoo, WhatsApp, etc.) under Accounts in Settings (app), then all you need to do is log out and sign back in. You should now see them now
Please disable Keytones, Touch Sounds, Screen lock sound and Haptic Feedback under Sound menu (in Settings).. Use only if required to do so; because they all contribute in consuming your battery.. The same thing goes for Motion options as well..
Checkout this simple trick to change the Status Bar's gradient orientation
For switching to Material theme on your Keyboard, go to Settings > Language and Input > Google Keyboard Settings > Advanced Settings and change the Color scheme to "Material"
For my own benefit, I chose not to Re-odex my ROM. But if you want to Re-Odex my ROM on your phone then you can use Universal Odex Script or anything similar to do it. Because I did not try it yet, please tell me if you did it and succeeded.
If you're into pimping, tweaking and modding your phone, then you should definitely checkout Xposed (if you haven't already). It drastically simplifies this process by taking away the need for flashing zip files or modifying any apk or jar files!
Checkout XMultiWindow. It's functionality is quite similar to Samsung's MultiWindow functionality - but this is way better in my opinion
Checkout XBlast Tools. It's more or less like an All-in-One Tweak Box. You can change a lot of stuff in your phone on the go without modifying any APK files!
If you don't want to use CRT Off animation then please uncheck it from Settings > Display (obviously ) and then using MiXplorer (or any browser with Root access), go to system > etc > init.d folder and open 03_crt_net.
Look for the lines containing "fbdelay" and "fbdelay_ms" and delete or comment them out. Save the file, set the proper file permission and restart for it to take effect. This should remove the "delay" in powering your screen off..
You can disable Touchboost feature to save some more battery.
Using MiXplorer (or any browser with Root access), go to system > etc > init.d folder and open 02_kernel. Look for
"echo on > /sys/kernel/mxt224e/touchboost" and "echo 500 > /sys/kernel/mxt224e/touchboost_delay" and delete or comment them out. Save the file, set the proper file permission and restart for it to take effect
If for some reason you want to have a persistent notification of USB debugging (enabled) then add this line below to your build.prop:
Code:
persist.adb.notify=1
Right now, the best kernels to use with Sami OS are CoCore E 8.2, 10.0 and Refresh R09 (link to thread)
If you're wondering why this thread is full of textual information, its because I want to this thread as Noob Friendly as possible! And yes, I typed each and every words - so yeah, I think I deserve a thanks for that too.
More will be added soon to this list very soon!
My Opinion on my ROM:
I've been running the "pre-release" and the "final" version Sami OS for quite some time now.. And yes, my phone is super smooth with the combo of Sami OS and CoCore E r09 BUT I did notice some occasional hiccups and lags on my ROM too! I'm sure that a very few developers will tell bad about his/her ROM, but I'm just like you - I always want the best in my phone and so I am being honest with you.. Nothing is perfect in this world, and my ROM is certainly not an exception.. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't use it.. Because it indeed is super smooth most of the time!!!
One more thing.. my ROM still isn't completely optimized for Aggressive gaming, multi-tasking and battery conservation yet but I hope that it will get better along with the future updates it'll be getting..

4. Real_Pac's Back up File for MyAndroid Tools (pro)-Fix to solve Wakelock issues caused by Google Play Services
+ also disabling unnecessary Services to save more battery!!!
We all heard about wakelocks and generally about services which drains the battery of our phones immediately.
To disable them without knowledge could damage your running system.
I made a Back Up for "MyAndroid Tools (pro)" to find on Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.myandroidtools&hl=de to make that procedure very easy for you.
You will be able to disable more than 150!!! services with just one tap.
Follow these steps:
1. Download the file "RealPacs_ServiceDisabler_4_MyAndroidTools.zip.
2. Unzip the file and copy it to your internal storage.
3. Now open the app "MyAndroidTools" and tap on "about".
Tap on "restore" - "disable" - OK
You're Done! It will take some time. Be patient(3-5 minutes).
Standard Zip:
After restoring this file you won't be able to use Google fitness gadgets, streamcasts, Google Kids and also Google Wear.
Light Zip:
This Zip file wont disable any of the above mentioned services.
Alternative method if "MyAndroidtools Pro" doesn't work.-@daltonhrrll Big thanks for his alternative method!
1. Download the app "Disable Service" from Playstore- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice
2. Download the file "RealPacs_ServiceDisabler_4_MyAndroidTools.zip.
3. Unzip the file and copy it to your internal storage
4. Rename the file"myandroidtoolspro_backup.txt" to "DS_backup.txt".
3. Now open the app "Disable Service" and tap on "settings".
Tap on "restore" - "disable" - OK
You're Done! It will take some time. Be patient(3-5 minutes).

5a. Amplify Settings-Restorable Titanium Backup File
Warning!
[LP5.1.x User be careful!Amplify will only work if your current Rom supports unofficial Xposed]
One chapter before I was talking about disabling services to save battery. The. most battery drain was caused by "Google Services".
But some of them are really important for your running system. So, now we gonna change their delay time to fix the wakelock problems and to save battery.
I'm using "Titanium Backup" over years. To find on Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=de
You also need xposed framework http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 [email protected] and
Amplify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce&hl=de
Just few steps and you're done.
1. Download the Zip File "Real_Pacs_Amplify_SettingsV1.zip"
2. Unzip
3. Just copy the folder "Titanium Backup" to the root of your phone and open the Titanium Backup app.
Tap on "Back Up/restore Section" and tap on the batch symbol.
Under section" Restore" select "Restore all apps with data". Choose " Data only" and tap on Amplify.
4. Confirm
That's all.

thanks to: @Calkulin @abhi08638 (for the hint)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...mod-google-play-services-update-wake-t3078082
5c. Real_Pac's Greenify-Restorable Titanium Backup File
We all know "Greenify" is a great tool to hiberante active user apps and system apps. But which system-apps are safe to hibernate?
I made a restorable "Titanium Backup"- file which one includes almost every stock system-app.
Please hibernate all your user-apps manually.
Important:
- Android 5.1.x user's should activate the greenify module in xposed settings only then if the unofficial xposed build for 5.1.x works on your current Rom . Otherwise your phone will stuck
on bootscreen
- Do not hibernate apps with push-services if you wanna still receive "push-messages".
- Android 5.0 user should switch to "Boost-mode".
- Android 5.1.x user should switch to "Root-mode" if "Boost-mode" isn't supported.
Both can apply this file without any problems.
I'm also gonna make a restorable file for "boost-mode". Be patient
Hints:
I recommend to buy the "paid-version". The expermential features will allow you to hibernate more apps, specially system apps.
If you tap on the "3-dot symbol" you will be able to find the entry "create hibernation shortcut". It makes an shortcut on your homescreen which will allow you to hibernate all selected apps before with just one click.
Instruction:
1. Download the Zip File "Real_Pacs_Greenify_SettingsV1.zip"
2. Unzip
3. Just copy the folder "Titanium Backup" to the root of your phone and open the Titanium Backup app.
Tap on "Back Up/restore Section" and tap on the batch symbol.
Under section" Restore" select "Restore all apps with data". Choose " Data only" and tap on Greenify.
4. Confirm
That's all

[Flashable[ROOT]Omniswitch instead recent panel for LP5.1.x
credits: @kikuto for "Toggle Omniswitch"
I hate the stock recent panel. The best alternative for me was Omniswitch. But some Custom Roms doesnt't have this inside.
Found some "solutions" before but with no possibility to use it instead of stock recent panels.
A Xda-User called @kikuto https://github.com/augustoicaro/Toggle-OmniSwitch made a toggle apk.
It will allow you to open omniswitch but the stock recent panel in navbar will still exist.
I made a flashable Zip which already included the newest "Omniswitch" and "Toggle Omniswitch".
Just flash it and follow this....
Now, there are 2 ways to change it:
If your current roms supports custom navbar settings, follow instruction 1. If not, follow instruction 2.
1:
A. Go to Navbar settings
B. Open "buttons" settings
C. Delete the recent panel menu button
D. Add a new button and choose "Toggle Omni Switch"
2:
A. Install "Gravity Box for LP". http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.lollipop.gravitybox
B. Open it and tap on "Navigation Bar tweaks".
C. Now tap on "Custom key settings".
D. Enable it and also tap on " Swap with menu key".
E Tap on "Single-tap action" and choose "Toggle Omniswitch"
Now open "Omniswitch and activate it"
Reboot-Done!

It's an xposed module that toggles between 2 user defined network modes based on current conditions. For example when your screen goes off or you connect to wifi it will switch to power saving mode, Which is 2G if you're using my profile. When your screen comes on or you disconnect from Wi-Fi it will switch you to fast network mode which will be 3G by default but you can switch it to 4G if you prefer.
Intelli3G: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voidvapps.intelli3g
Instruction:
1. Make sure you have xposed installed.
2. Follow the link above to download Intelli3G.
3. Once it's been installed head over into your xposed app and activate the module.
4. Reboot
5. Download my titanium backup restorable file of Intelli3G and place it into the titanium backup folder on the root of your sd card.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_HWCBYTD4HGWjV6QUZFVEpLdnM/edit?usp=docslist_api
6. Open up titanium backup find Intelli3G and restore "DATA ONLY".
7. Reboot, it may not actually be needed but do it anyways.
8. Enjoy your new battery life.
***NOTE***
By default the slow network is 2G and the fast network is 3G. If you wish to change it to 4G, open intelli3G select fast network and select LTE GSM/WCDMA. This will connect to LTE when available but use any bands it can to keep signal. My configuration you'll be restoring will not disrupt downloads or streaming as it's setup so if there is more than 15 kbps of traffic it won't switch modes until the traffic is below the threshold. There is also a 1 minute delay after screen off before it will switch to power saving mode that way if you turn your screen off then back on quickly it won't cause loss of signal which is a known issue the Dev is working on. If you do for some reason experience a loss of signal simply lock and unlock your device or toggle airplane mode on and off to fix.

Hi @real_pac , thanks a lot for sharing your optimization methods, I'm using MyAndroidTools to restore your backup, it's been an hour, the MyAndroidTools logo is still spinning, I'm not sure if the process's hung. Usually how long does it take to restore your backup?

Hi! I'm hoping someone could help me out with a few questions.
I have a OnePlus 3 (A3003) running FreedomOS-CE-2.17 on Android 7.1.1 and I would like to install this ROM but I'm not sure how to proceed. I see people talking about firmwares and whatnot and I'm not exactly sure what I'd be doing. Could someone hold my hand and walk me through it?
Also, does Magisk cloak work? I really need Android Pay and Snapchat to work. I'd rather not have root and have those apps work than have root and be without them.
(had issues posting, sorry if it's a double-post)

No one can hold your hand man, in android/TWRP world you go and try things, as corny as it sounds. Thinking of a perfect scenario, and hoping nothing ever get's lost and everything always works means not trying anything new ever. Was this a lession on flashing roms, or life in general... not sure I've lost track lol.

Yeaaahhhh.....glad to see you back!!! THIS IS THE BEST MIUI9 EVER-EVER-EVER!!!! My OP3t is running and itś you that make this Phone running!!!

I did that and it caused a few issues so I wouldn't recommend it. I had issues with a white horrible shadow on all the icons and also it lagged a bit in games.

I have a few issues with this build.
I take it there is no Dash Charge?
It lags a little but not really noticeable to cause an annoyance.
Google Pay wont pass the Safety Net check with Magisk 16.0.
Rounded corners no longer work where as they did before on the old build.
Scanner app does not work with loading the camera.
Yes I did a clean flash.
This is a great ROM but just needs a few things fixing.

Fair enough. Still don't know if I have to reflash firmware or what steps to take. Somewhere to point me in the right direction and I'll be fine. Just trying to do my due dillegence before making a stupid mistake for no good reason.

Other than SafetyNet being broken, ROM is pretty solid. The ROM is a little less fluid than Oreo ROMS but I am going to give this a shot for a while. Great work and looking forward to the next update.

no Widgets ?

Hi.
My Teclast Master T10 just got upgraded to PhoenixOS 2.0.0 via OTA. I got no warning that this would make me lose widgets, which are a key feature for me. I've tried both "tablet" and "fake Windows" mode.
Is there any way to get widgets in PhoenixOS 2.0, or to get rid of it and get back to something sensible ? PhoenixOS won't even let me install an alternative Launcher...
Thanks for any help.

Widgets are just like gadgets on Windows 7.
Why won't you get it back in Phoenix OS 2.6.7?:laugh:
No, really I'm not joking about that.

Hey - Hello. total newbie with a Teclast TBook and wanting to move to an all android system. It dual boots to wither Win10 or Android. I want to blow it all away and simply do Android. Any written step-by-step or videos available?? Russ. [email protected] (many many many thanx for any help or direction)

I found the missing widgets!!!
I've found a way to get widgets back! The side effects are we loose a little screen/desktop area on the side of the screens, and the app drawer reappears.
To accomplish:
1) Download total commander (file explorer)
2) navigate to: /System/App/FileManager
3) rename FileManager.apk to FileManager.apk1
4) reboot your system
5) enjoy
To revert back:
1) Navigate to same path as above
2) remove the 1 from the end of the file name
3) reboot your system
Thoughts:
1) You will loose a little screen space, as the resolution, screen settings will revert to Android x86
2) To use widgets long press on the home screen
3) This does not remove the Phoenix os navigation bar
4) This will get rid of your recycle bin and "my computer" functionality
The developers were really sneaky, and FileManager.apk is what's driving the hiding of widgets, app drawer, etc. I haven't figured out yet what else it manages, but I do not it is not responsible for not being able to load new launchers. Haven't figured that part out yet.
Enjoy!

No bug i found. change kernel and check

i am also using this rom for a week or so. clean flashed. even formatted the storage before installation. so far this is one of the best roms i have ever used on santoni. and i can say that i have used almost every one of them. great battery life, great performance.

I did the latest OTA-Update and now my device stuck in a bootloop at the Mi-branding. No success getting into recovery (was Orangefox), so I flashed a new one with fastboot. I restored my last backup, which was working before, but it gave me the same result - bootloop! Anyone experiences the same or any idea where to search or how to fix this? I used Magisk by the way...

You mean Migrate? I use it also to restore Userapps. I think thats not the reason .
What do you wipe for clean flash?
I wipe everything except Internal and SD Card.
Then Flash Rom and Gapps. Reboot and do Google Stuff.
After that go back to Recovery and flash Magisk and Migrate Backup zip.
Have no Problems . Try it!

Im confused. You said you use Migrate? Then you made a backup or not? What steps exactly make you headache?
I posted once my restore steps in Migrate Thread. Scroll down.
Read a little bit there too for understanding how it works.
And what about Wifi? Works now?

I am actually using migrator which is a magisk module(not currently supported) which is different from the migrate app that you quoted, not knowing earlier about this, thanks for your post, going to try clean flash with migrate app and then see how WiFi works
