What's not working
- Nothing that I know of, let me know if you find one
Code:
This Rom has been tested by me several times on
my I9295 individually before release.
However I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
YOU choose to make these modifications to your phone.
TIPS
The aim of this ROM is to keep it as close to the stock firmware and light as possible. Because this way the ROM is the most stable you can get, and also you don't have any apps that run in the background that can have an influence on the performance and/or battery life of the ROM.
.
See Post #2 for the Aroma Add-on Package, so that you can choose which Samsung Apps / functions you want back.
You can use this Aroma add-on package at any time (multiple times) after flashing this rom (So you can first use the rom bare-bone and look for yourself which app/feature you want to have back). DO NOT install apps that you do not use to save battery and improve performance
.
The 3 Animation settings have been defaulted in the ROM to 0.5 for much faster animations (and experience). In case you would like to change them you can do so as below:
- Enable the Developer Options (Settings -> About Device -> 8x tap the Build number)
- Go to the Developer Options (Settings -> Developer options)
- Scroll down, and change, Window animation scale, Transition animation scale & Animator duration scale to your preference
.
Restrict performance is enabled by default in power saving mode. For a faster experience & allshare to work disable it by
- Go to Settings-->Power Saving-->Power saving mode -->Turn it on
- Tap on Restrict performance-->turn it off
- Go back to power saving mode-->turn it off
.
All apps available on Google Play Store are NOT included in the ROM (or Aroma add-on package), you can download those by yourself in the Play Store.
.
Do not restore apps from older android version through titanium backup, install the apps from Play Store (so the version of apps installed are compatible with the ROM version of android) and only use Titanium backup to restore the app data.
.
I am not much of a fan of the Xposed Framework plugins and prefer to have these directly in the ROM and in case you think of any features you can send your suggestions with complete details so that I can look into it.

Requirements
1. works with 4.4.2 bootloader / firmware or OB4
2. Flash the OB4 modems (You can also flash OC3 / OD3 modems from my drive along with the respective kernel all available on my drive)
3. CWM 6.0.5.1 and above (previous versions are not compatible with android 5.0.1) - I have tested with Philz recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation
Check your bootloader and modems, you may have to update to the latest one for your device (below XXXXNE5 - KitKat will have issues)
Backup your device, in case you want to revert back.
Delete all folders starting with a period ('.') along with the android folder on your internal sdcard (This is a must if upgrading from a kitkat or non TW ROM, these are files created by android system that can cause issues)
Factory reset (If using PhilZ recovery do not use 'Clean to Install a New ROM) Absolutely required as this is a S6 port
Flash the ROM
Reboot
If coming from any other ROM, select 'Setup as new device' and also unselect backup/restore app data while setting up the ROM. You can use Super Backup from playstore to backup & restore call log, contacts & SMS. Once the ROM is setup you can enable backup/restore.

Rom is uploaded... u can try and give me your feedback

Downloaded OK and flashed successfully according to CWM but only getting a blank screen on boot?? Not sure if it's because I was PacRom prior? I'll try reverting to stock TW via Odin and then reflashing to see what happens....

I have flashed this on my device at least a couple of times and have not encountered any issues.
Is you device I9295? as I am not aware of PacRom for S4 active international and have you flashed firmware for 4.4.2 on your phone before.
Edit: Just flashed once again and it booted without any issues. First boot takes about a minute and a half to two minutes

Yes its I9295. I've had various 4.4.4 firmwares running perfectly for a while. I've not flashed 4.4.2 TW Firmware before, because it wasn't available - but just found that a stock one is now available for the UK, so downloading that - I'll try flashing that through Odin first and then try this again.
Cheers

Great!!!
Yes that would be the issue, this is based on Netherlands 4.4.2 firmware that was released in April and it is working fine without any issues around the globe

Wifi problem
I don't have any problem to install this ROM but Wifi don't work. It will not turn on. Is there any fix for that?

Did you flash the ROM? Wifi is working fine here without any issues... look at the screenshots

What firmware are you on..could be an issue with the modem.. can you flash the netherlands firmware (link below) reboot, flash recovery and then try
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByY8uLVuRKD2NDZYYVBaamlrMkk/edit?usp=docslist_api
Edit: Alternatively if you do not want to flash entire firmware you can flash just the UCNE5 modem. You can get the link for the modem at post #693 at the below link and flashing instructions at post # 696

Hello. Installed over stocky rom. Style looks super (colours, etc), wifi also works. Will report later.
Sent from my GT-I9295 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hmm, well I finally have it up and running!
Odd though - I flashed the UK 4.4.2 firmware and then this and got the same issue - black screen on bootup. Tried all sorts of things, but nothing worked. I flashed the downloaded NL firmware and then this and bingo - maybe something to do with the LTE modem or phone that's different between NL and UK?? Do they have the same LTE bands - not had a chance to try the download speeds yet.
WiFi seems to work fine. It was doing weird things for a while when charging - every 10 seconds or so it would react as though the cable was unplugged and then plugged back in - with the pop up about waterproof plug etc. That may be related to the non-OEM battery though so I'll wait and see on that.
I'll try it out properly tomorrow and report back.
Thanks again though! Looks promising....

Ok thanks, I will update the info in the OP

Very nice rom but I have problems with root access. (I wiped cache and data before installing the rom) SuperSU is installed right but when I install apps which need root access for example titanium backup and try to launch the app the root access pop-up wont come up and the app freezes.. Everything else works fine!

Hmm.. did you do a factory reset? Su binary is installed and does pop up on root access requests. I have installed the ROM several times and did not have this issue. Can you try with factory reset and opening file explorer and selecting root explorer in settings and see if it pops up.
Wonder if anyone else has this issue

I would recommend that you restart the phone once and check with File Explorer as well. In case the problem persists then you can download SuperSu from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and flash through CWM.

The zip provided below can be used to remove whole gapps package that is included in some custom Roms ,so that u can flash u r own desired gapps again [switch gapps] or if u want to use custom Roms without gapps.
Remove GApps in ROM: now support Marshmallow
Script in first post very discounted and therefore deleting not all files.
Here's updated version. Script automatically mounts /system, you don't need do it by yourself.
Script compatible with Android 2.3...6.0
Guaranteed delete will be only on CyanogenMod rom's and Nexus firmware due of possible other file naming in manufacturer stock firmware.
Probably some small bits of files can left on device (like WebView), but almost all other will be removed.
Note: script removes apps from /system partition.
Probably some of them was updated and additionally stored in internal memory.
So you need manually delete a bit of remainders by usual way.
IMPORTANT!
– Maybe some stuff or whole ROM will broken after applying this ZIP
– Script removes stock Google / CM keyboard, install 3rd party before applying!
– Script removes Google Experience Launcher, so make sure you use 3rd-party app or device will not boot!
– Script removes Hangouts, so make sure you use 3rd-party SMS app or you may unable use SMS!
– ..and may other
– Apps with embedded Google Maps such as Foursquare, Instagram and many other can't be launched / installed by any way because of lack of framework for it
– A lot of apps requests installed Google Play Store and Google Play Services which will be removed
– Network location can be disabled because it's part of gapps
– Recommended to wipe dalvik/ART-cache to rid out of unused cache files
>>> Use it at your own risk and make full backup via recovery before flashing! <<<

FLOSSbOxIN - A Customized Stock ROM

FLOSSbOxIN - Since 2016, I am a non-foogle person, nor do I have shucksfook, or anything of those stuffs. I was on Telegram and used to run the flossboxin channel, but left the application due to too much of spam and useless stuffs, and moreover, privacy issues tbvh. Now my XMPP channel is named FLOSSbOxIN too. I recently lost my M30, however, I have been for quiet sometime trying to get this M30 debloated to a level where knox also does not trip, nor where one will have to face the unnecessary Samsung bloatware and annoying analytics. Finally, I have made it to that level, after several permutation combinations.
Code:
[B]FLOSSbOxIN M305F Debloated FOSS/FLOSS Stock ROM[/B]
Released: [B]20200925[/B]
Patch Level: September 01, 2020
Build Date: [B]20200926[/B]
Base Version: Android 10
Build #: QP1A.190711.020.M305FDDS6CTI1
Kernel: [I]4.4.177-19407255[/I]
UI Core: [U]One UI 2.0[/U]
Links:
M30 Database -- AFH
DM-Verity -- AFH
FLOSSbOxIN - ROM -- Cloud - Direct Link
Odin V3.14.4 -- AFH
TWRP 3.4.0-0 -- AFH
Magisk Canary -- AFH
Installation Guide (Only For Bootloader UL On Q/10)
Download ROM from the links given.
Boot to recovery (stock/TWRP) (Guide Link)
Code:
adb reboot download
You will have to format data, as the ROM is decrypted, and coming from an encrypted ROM will give issues. For decrypting, do a "format data" in TWRP Recovery and then reboot to recovery and Wipe Dalvik/ART, Cache, System, Data, Hidden, Internal
Copy over ROM OS & DM-Verity file (do not rename DM-Verity file, keep as is)
Flash ROM - Would take around 10 minutes time for it to flash
Go to wipe, and wipe /hidden
Flash DM-Verity file
Reboot - should take around 5-6 minutes
Notes:
I have removed the setup wizard altogether
Post system starts, wait 5-10 minutes, as system tries to integrate system apps, which are newly introduced
Only necessary foogle stuff is kept, including Maps+Location, GSF & Play Services and all other foogle stuffs is removed
Somehow, even after removing the notorious HIYA (so called caller id and spam protection service), it somehow comes back with a valid internet/mobile data connection. If you wish to remove it again, boot to TWRP, mount /system and then delete the hiya service folder and clear dalvik/cache, and reboot
If any app has permission issue, then reinstall as "user" app (install again manually), and reboot sysui. Should work post that, as sometime, few apps are by default not allowed system changes by Samsung framework, and to add each app to framework is a bigggg task, and very irritating too
Still if any app (e.g., AnysoftKeyboard (see git issue), then uninstall as system, and reinstall as user
Ensure minimal apps are made /system, as they can be harmful
Features:
Fully debloated
Fully stock
Smoother, faster and has long battery run
Foogle & Samsung stupidity free
FLOSS apps included:
Aurora Droid, Aurora Store
F-Droid Classic - Classic variant by bubu
F-Droid Privilege (if you ever install F-Droid main app)
Bromite Webview is default
UngoogledChromium is the default browser
FreeOTP+ is your FLOSS 2FA companion
K9 Mail is the default FOSS email
KeePassDX for auto-login and enhanced privacy
Notification Log allows you to view several logs, once usage access is granted, and is fully FLOSS
QKSMS replaces Samsung Messaging app
Power App allows you to reboot to various modes - sysui, recovery, bootloader....
Vinyl is your music buddy
Dual-Mod for audio included
Screen capture (image & video) feature added
Data transmit (Up/Down) in status bar added (thanks Akhil)
Various camera tweaks (FOSS - OpenCamera is not included)
My hosts file is included, which enhances privacy by blocking various trackers and ads - URL
Hosts editor also included
GPS fast locking in closed areas - debug included for it
USB debug revoke option added to Dev mode
initd support added
Shutdown thread log enabled

Okay mate.
Few ways to do it.
1. By installing rooted AP with TWRP already included:->
Install September stock Firmware from my post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-m30/development/rom-t4167497
Use that to flash the September FW. Use ODIN via windows, and use the file: AP ROOTED WITH TWRP RECOVERY. Flash only AP. CP is optional. Follow the steps there. Ensure to flash DMVERITY.
This is one way...
Another way:
2. Flash stock ROM. Connect to wifi/mobile data and setup. Change the time to say 7 days prior to today. Wait 30 minutes and boot to download mode via the following method:: switch off. Press Vol+/- together and connect to laptop/pc via usb. Ensure usb debugging is ON and then perform. Now you are in download mode. Flash TWRP.tar file from AP. All checkboxes should be unticked. Once flashed successfully, press vol- and power button for 7-8 seconds and let go off vol- upon haptic feedback and press vol+ to enter to twrp recovery. You can let go of the buttons once twrp shows up.
Now format data and reboot to twrp again. Mount data and /system and if OS is installed boot to system, else flash a ROM of your choice.
3rd way:
3. Download FLOSSbOxIN (FLOSS/Google variant available). Extract to any desktop folder. Now open 7Zip and make a zip file with all the .img files. Choose .tar (available from 7Zip dropdown as well) and rename the tar file to say rom.tar.
Once done flash this one via AP. Ensure all checkboxes are unchecked. Reboot to TWRP following the steps in method 2 above. Format data, boot to twrp, flash dm-verity and boot to system. You can wipe cache/dalvik and /hidden if you want. Will take around 10 minutes to boot. Dont forget to boot to twrp first and flash dmverity, else you will end in bootloop.
Note: With Samsung, in case you forget to flash DMVerity, and by mistake clicked boot to system, do not worry. Switch off, or reboot to twrp and mount /system and flash. Wipe dalvik and cache, reboot. Done.

@vdbhb59 THANK YOU SO MUCH ,SIR.I was about to sell the phone coz TWRP could not be booted.
Finally,TWRP is booted huge thanks to you.Procedure 2 did not work(bootloop) and Procedure 3 gave me .binary error in odin(maybe i messed up in some steps).But Procedure 1 was easiest and foolproof & it booted TWRP in first try without any bootloops.
Now coming to Floss ROM(Vanilla).It was simple,clean and elegant and performance is good as well.I have not checked the battery life with this ROM but i hope it gives me more than standard battery life.Will be checking other ROMS as well-Lineage,Bliss,Turbo etc. and will be settling once i find ROM suitable for me.
Again thank you DEV for guiding me,giving me your time and most importantly contributing to this community !!

Anytime mate. Actually all the 3 ways I mentioned, do work. Probably, some trouble while flashing. However, no worries, I am glad you were able to boot to TWRP and flash a bloat free OS. Enjoy mate, and happy riding.
Battery life is around 1.5-2 days basis your usage. At times more, touching 3.5 days too. Again, the logic basis is always usage and background stuff.
Bliss does not boot for all, LOS does though.
BTW, which FLOSSbOxIN variant did you try? Google one will eat more battery obviously, against FLOSS one.

FLOSS(Vanilla)-[without google] review
Everything is good with the ROM but some problems i faced could be solved by following procedures:
1.If some apps does not work/launch as expected then "UNINSTALL AS SYSTEM" then REINSTALL it or INSTALL APP OF YOUR CHOICE.For eg:Vinyl player.
2.If AURORA STORE does not download apps then first give permission to Aurora Services and then rerun Store.Otherwise install GooglePlayStore manually once, update GMS and it will work.PS:You can delete PlayStore or disable if you want to.
Other than these everything is FINE.Would certainly recommend to try this ROM ?

Thanks for this mate. Though not bugs, but the app behaviour itself. The ROM itself does not have any bugs.

October release coming soon.

Dear Dev,
Thanks for the rom.
My 3 queries
1. Getting access denied on some files like magisk, odin, and m30 database.
2. Is there any aggresive battery saver or something alike in rom which switches off all functions except calling?
3. The download link to download google version is very slow and is showing close to 17 hours to download on 150 MBps connection.
Thanks and Regards
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
Actually, AFH is having some issues. I too am unable to view files at times. Magisk and ODIN are Public files anyways. You can navigate with androidfilehost then my user, which is vdbhb59.
Battery saver is there, Ultradata by Samsung itself. You can use any 3rd party app too.
Google version link is quick here. Showing 25 minutes at 80Mbps.

Update - 20201017
Hi All,
Update released for the new version.
N.B., the update by Samsung never was for October 2020 patches, and was only a con, as they moved the apps & priv-app between the 2 folders, and added a very big BUG along with several privacy issues.
When I reached out to them with the details, I was blocked, and my account was suspended.
I have stripped away every bit and piece of bloat and BUGS (afaic). Security patch is still September.
Also, the stock camera is now replaced with 2 open variants, and much better ones. With the latest update, while trying to remove Knox, and some resources, the stock Camera breaks up fully, and the hidl does not link, rendering the app useless.
Magisk Canary 20201017
20201017 - FLOSSbOxIN_Foogle_V2_20201017
20201017 - FLOSSbOxIN_V2.2_20201017

Difference between the 2 versions
Difference between the 2 versions -->
FLOSSbOxIN_Foogle_V2_20201017 - this version is a bit smaller compared to the version 2.2 below. Version 2.2 contains a few more privacy oriented apps, and XDA app as well inbuilt, along with OSMAnd+ and UNLP. I have retained GMS Core and Maps as OSMAnd does not cover many parts of Asia and Russia.
FLOSSbOxIN_V2.2_20201017 - this version contains the following:
SMS - QKSMS
Mail - K9 & pEp - both open source. Both more reliable then stock.
Clipboard - Added function for clipboard. Probably, some apps may not work with it. Ideally, it will come as an option with pop-ups.
Maps - GMaps, OSMAnd+, UNLP
Music - Odyssey & Vinyl
Video - MPV is a great tool. VLC somehow does not integrate with Samsung while building, so have not added it yet.
SimpleTools - Gallery & Calendar alongside stock ones. Do use the open source ones, as they are fully privacy oriented. Some folks like Samsung one, but it is filth filled, and I have taken huge time out to prepare these stuffs, so do try.
Camera - OpenCamera & FreeDCam have been added. I have been using these 2 since a long time, so, do use them too.
Browser - 2 variants of Ungoogled Chromium, Bromite Webview alongside Android Webview.
Terminal - Termus. Do install the relevant addons from F-Droid/AuroraDroid and enjoy.
Downloader - Download Navi is prebuilt.
Launcher - OpenLauncher is added too, which is a better option compared to Samsung one. Use the one you prefer.
Stores - As usual F-Droid (2 variants), Aurora Store and Aurora Droid.
The ROM has been tested completely, in terms of retaining of Samsung features, and additional stuffs that I could integrate. I hope on getting Stock custom ROM soon, if the framework parts pans out, and may have inbuilt power menu options, more QS stuffs and theming, all again depending on time I can spare and framework nuisance.

It would be great if Theme option is added

Did they replaced system.img with super.img ? Samsumg keeps adding their security related sh**t in the name of security patches making difficult for devs to mod their Roms.

Nope. They moved few /system/apps to /priv-app and to /vendor and made a lot of framework changes to ensure boot goes for a toss. One of the worst was how system auto cleans at a schedule. Also busybox installation fails due to /system free space being minimal.
Few more things, which I think cannot explain here.

[ROM][N][7.0][STOCK][G920W8][zerofltebmc/zerofltecan]SamStock November Patch (Lightly Debloated)[RE-PACK]

Original ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...loat-7-0-920-5-w8-f-i-november-patch.3649798/
I removed several apps in the ROM including a very annoying DiagMonAgent app that caused it to continuously show popup notifications.
Here is a complete list of apps I removed from this ROM: http://dr.mywebcommunity.org/g920w8/debloat/20210831-samstock-debloat-results.html
My phone works super well with this setup.
Download information:
Location: androidfilehost.com
File name: 20210831-1914-sst05-safe.zip
File size: 1.4 Gb
Information
I did not include the AROMA options for different phone vendors so if you really need those files, please use original rom. I uploaded this rom for my peronal use and because I am trying to make a debloated rom and bring the size of the zip file back down to under 1 Gb but I have several issues with required apks causing bootloops. So for now, this is a fully functional re-packed rom. I do plan to re-pack the phone vendors in a futur aroma setup but for now, I am still struggling to debloat this rom entirely. I just needed a base stock rom with as little modification as possible and this is the only ROM I found to fit this category. I am fully opened to receive any kind of help or assistance. The goal is to change the ZIP file only through my Windows computer, change any files through Notepad++ if necessary.
If you want details of what has been done in the ROM, please refer to the original author's thread.
GOAL OF THIS RE-PACK
My goal is to keep the original system but remove every other useless things. I want to drop the ROM size to under 1 Gb. I want to remove all Samsung and Google apps that are not necessary for the system to work. If people want Google Play, I want to simply download it on Open GApps. Of course, for now, I have been unsuccessfully removing other apps and had several boot loops, this is the only package I managed to re-pack that has a successfull boot and work well with my needs.
Why use an old 7.0 version?
Honestly? Because everything! Bluetooth connection, camera, stability. Everything works. The only VERY annoying things I hate about v7.0 are:
PROBELM: Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode does NOT work. Apps compatible with PiP will not display any PiP content such as floating video call windows.
SOLUTION: The only similar effect you can have is by enabling in the dev options the "Force activities to be resizable" at the very bottom. Then, in an app you want to have displayed in a floating window, tap on your "All apps" button and drag your app's window on the little square that says "Open in pop-up view".
PROBLEM: Dark modes for apps like GMail and the user interface is not supported unless you seriously start to tinker arround with very creative workarrounds I have not tested.
SOLUTION: I did not test any.
Kernel Source
The kernel supplied in this re-pack is the original kernel from SamStock's original package (G920W8) with no changes. Based off SamStock's thread which states:
Untouched. Completely stock out of the latest zip from sammobile.

Click to collapse
So source is based off original Samsung Kernel Source.
ROOT Magisk
This rom is NOT ROOTED. I removed the outdated supplied Magisk from the original ROM since I prefer to use the latest available version that works without any issues. Just remember to rename the Magisk APK file's extension to ".zip" and flash after flashing this rom. I also use the original APK file to install after first boot because the zip only enables root access but the APK installs the Magisk manager app and enables the popup message to grant root permissions to apps. It is not a requirement since Magisk will download the app automatically when you try to open it the first time, but it just makes you spend less time waiting for the automatic download and installs the app immediately. Installing the APK manually will require a reboot.
AdAway
This is the goto app to remove annoying ads in almost all apps. ROOT is required. To install, head to ApkMirror and download version 4.3.6. That's the latest version that still works very well on Android v7.0. You will be required to do 2 reboots, one after installing the app and enabling adblock and one for updating the hosts file.
Google
You will have a long update list to go through your initial boot to update all apps from Google App Store INCLUDING the app store itself. Please pay attention to Google Services notification because you may need to manually update Google Services if it does not do it on it's own for apps to work such as GMail and other Google apps.
I suggest you disable the "upday" app which Google Update installs. I hate this app so much that I disable the notification, force stop AND disable the app. I have not found any solution yet to prevent this app from being installed.
XPosed Framework
You need the sdk24 version. It works and boots without any problems BUT, it's old and I found it to be pretty much useless. Some stuff such as the Dark mode for GMail module does not work anymore. So I do not recommend you to install XPosed unless you already are familiar with modules you want to use and already know that is working.
What I wil NOT do (unsupported models)
I own only the W8 version of the phone so any other models I cannot support. BUT, I can say this, you can refer to the debloated list above to remove the apps from the ZIP file and repackage the file yourself for your model by downloading the right version on the original author's mod page. As I mentioned, this is a safe debloat list where the phone successfully boots and setups.
I cannot test phone calls and SMS because I do not use this function on my phone. I use a SIP phone service through GrandStream Wave and VoIP.ms. So if you have any issues concerning phone calls or SMS, please comment or check the list of removed apps above and mention to me what is needed and I will post a new upload with the included package. While you may be waiting for my fix, I suggest you use the original author's files.
KNOWN ISSUES
You will need to install another launcher to be able to change wallpaper since I removed some of Samsung's core apps which were linked to the Samsung store including the wallpaper switcher. I recommend the Microsoft Launcher which is entirely free and has all the basic functions including notification dots and icon pack themes.
INSTALLATION
• Backup your system and files
• Boot in TWRP (Hold Volume Up+Home Button+Power Button)
• Format and advance wipe everything
• Install zip file
• Optional: Install Magisk (rename apk extension to zip)
• Reboot System
Stuck in a bootloop or unresponssive phone?
Hard reboot your phone by holding Volume Down+Home Button+Power Button. Once the screen goes black, immediately Hold Volume Up+Home Button+Power Button and you will be back in TWRP. If it fails, simply repeat the Volume Down hard reboot until you get the timing right with Volume Up afterwards. That's what I do and it works but hopefully, this should NOT happen because it does not on my end.
Permission: I requested month's ago permission from the author and never got an answer so I presume that the project is abandonned or not followed anymore. So if ever the author somehow has specific requests or want's me to remove this, I will do so without hesitating after contacting me through PM.
