25.04.18 .. just a quick warning for newcomers !! YES Oreo is out there to try via OTA
BUT use the U2CRC7 or U2CRC8 these will be MUCH safer
(using U3CRD1 , or U3CRD4 you need to be REALLY careful, as you are updating the bootloader too (from v2, to v3)
which if you then get into a bootloop for whatever reason, you cannot use ODIN to get out of it as they are all bootloader v2 .. and thus you will be stuck untill one becomes available ! )
###
Ok first public release of a S7active Rom Modder ....
(this version is for ROOT only and was adapted from this Ufirm )
### Download links, for people who dont wanna read !
My Mega Folder
which has Stock Odin files PI2 andQD4, also a OTA zip folder with (numbered) files up to newest QL6 (20.01.18)
eng_boot files to flash in odin for root enabling,
and Rooting scripts ..
Newest Link to my Rom Modder, UFirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3f.zip
you can also use this Link to a Russian download site that also keeps updated with all of the above too (with unnumbered OTA update files that gets confusing)...
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/
And this link is to the official AT&T site,
that lists the most recent baseband version release, and when it was released (so this will also be upto date, even when this post isnt!)
### THIS Tutorial gives you ....
Fresh Stock Nougat (either upgrade or degrade or start again to V6/v7)
Root (with governor select, fingerprint fix, busy box installer)
BOOT Animation select; Samsung,Pixel,NoNaMe,Echoe + Sund on/off selectable to
Advert blocker installer; Adaway (with an app), or opensource list
S8 App installs; all selectable; camera, browser, launcher, fonts, clock/calendar SHealth, Bixby etc etc
Google Apps; Pixel launcher, dialer, camera, clock, calender etc etc
Dual speaker mods
Custom Mods/apps; XDA, Hometouch, Viper4Android, Solid Explorer, Nova Launcher,Cerberus, smartswitch, Torch toggler (these are all Play-Store versions, just selectable to embed within Rom (as systemApp))
and then a Debloater; a completely manual option, or a network debloat only (including bookmarks contacts etc), or a simpler BS level, or a 'playstore' style strip of apps leaving you with bare essentials
Works on ALL Nougat versions with Root, via Flashfire.....
but works best following steps below to start from a fresh stock odin flash (so you can start from any level then)
Of course all the normal caveats, do a backup, make sure phones charged up... etc etc etc
### So If you are on Marshmallow(Android v6), this Upgrades to Nougat(Android v7) OR if you just want to start fresh
Step 1. - Use Odin PrinceComsyModified and load up all 4 files from this complete G891AUCS2BQD4_7.0_all Nougat QD4 package
can only flash when in download mode (thats from phone switched off, then hold home+volume then hold power)
After thats finished, phone reboots to the setup wizard thingy, your now back to fresh stock Nougat... (no real need to go through this setup wizard yet really)
Step1a. - If you want to get up-to-date to a Higher Firmware NOW is the time, via OTA zips, in the standard recovery QD4-QF2, then QF2-QG1 at present ...
OTA-UPDATE folder
Step1b. - Get those updates on the SDcard, boot into standard recovery (thats with phone powered down, press and volume up+Home, then the power button)
Step1c. - Select update from zip/sdcard (volume butons to scroll, power button to select)
Step1d. - wait for it to finish, it DOES take ages, once it has, start the next one etc etc ...
### So once on Nougat get root with
Step 2. - G891A_7.0_ENG_ROOT , flash in Odin (in the AP placement) when in download mode (fire up download mode with, phone switched off, home+volume then hold power)
that gives you root availability.
Step3. - Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2, once rebooted, and now back at the setup wizard thingy,
Run root.bat from this zip and follow on screen prompts (will erase fingerprint patterns if you select it!), select CPU governor you want
Ondemand is the prefered for overall performance, and Conservative for best battery life..... this will follow on and Install flashfire too
So that gives you fresh Nougat, and Root. stop here if thats all your after !
### or if you are already Rooted and in Nougat
Step4. - Download my Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3 and transfer to the sdcard of ya s7active *** New version 01.08.17 Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V3f
Step5. - Open up Flashfire (install from playstore (its by chainfire) if your starting from this step) it checks root (go back to step 3 if it fails) partitions etc etc then agree with all the normal stuff ..
select the 'plus' icon bottom right, choose 'flash zip or ota', and select Ufirm_Hybrid_S7active_Nougat_V2 that you copied over in step4
you dont need to select anything on this pain..
make sure EverRoot is disabled .. (just click it and untick it if it is)
scroll down a bit i expect, and hit the big FLASH button ! ...
after a couple minutes of black, and scrolling stuff, and the red flashfire banner, you are set at Aroma...
Step6. - now in 'Aroma follow the onscreen prompts
you can select no wipe, no reroot, no bootanimations mod, no ads, no s8 mods, no google mods, no speaker mod, no custom mods, and no debloat... and nothing with change ...
or can select selectivly... and have stripped out, google apps, and pixel launcher, with lots of new apps, viper, etc etc ...
so its very option friendly from here
but if your going to elect s8 mods, or the playstore mods, then a wipe is best (of you will have to select to clear cache/data on the apps one back up and running to prevent closes)
Step7. - Come back here and thanks us all and let us know of any improvements or bugs
this of course doesnt trip knox, and all buttons work, as not much system files are touched really ...
PLEASE let me know how you get on ! ....
and A BIG Thanks to jrkruse, CVertigo1, FtaWolf, Arteush, echeo rom team for the mods, NoNaMe team, ViPer4A team
and a especially big thanks to activefan01 as with out him we STILL wouldnt have root !!!
and the many many many other people on this forum who post so i can trawl through and learn and the ones ive hassled.
### FAQ
Q: Do i need to do a wipe to try this ?
A: no, you dont NEED to wipe, or to odin, or to select AP in flashfire to try it.. Just be careful what you select, and BACKUP 1st like you are going to wipe !....
But wiping is a good way to get a real clean stripped out stock look, if you re-install fresh with Odin first and wipe
Q: Do i need to Root after running this ?
A: No, you can select "No change" , and it will keep its root status from Step3 Root procedure,
this option will install busybox, as Viper4A needs it, also adds improvements to device.prop too(config.tima) and is there so you can change the CPU governor or redo Fingerprint fix again (Its from the 2.82 install)
and for IF we ever get this working via stock boot.img !
Q: Can i run this multiple times then to swop things around, or try/add different Mods out ?
A: Yes, Yes you can... if you wanna JUST run this again to install, Nova launcher then select the right options, and thats ALL this will do
hell select the right options and this script does nothing !
Q: So could i use this to JUST debloat my phone ?
A: Yes select the right option, and it will only do a network debloat, and install nothing
Q: Will this trip KNOX ?
A: No
Q: Is the G891A_7.0_ENG_ROOT file different to the one already released ..
A: No its the same, just put it on here to keep it all together
Q: Is the Root Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2 file different to the one already released
A: No its the newest one ATM, just put it on here to keep it all together (i did change the exit to a pause at the end so you can review if it worked )
Q: Do i have to use the Ufirm zip thingy to keep root ?
A: No this just a Rom modder, so it adds, and takes stuff away that you select onscreen
Q: can i just keep stock ?
A: Yes Step1 will give you JUST a clean stock nougat, NO mods nothing...
Q: Can i use OTA zips to update this later?
A: Not in the normal/stock over-the-air via AT&T network method no, as the eng_root, and system file are detectable, and it will error out (but wont break anything)
A2: Also not via the 'stock' recovery either, as of above, you using the eng_root, which doesnt support DM-Verity so it doesnt let you use SDcard or ADB (but again wont break anything trying)
A3: what about via flashfire ? Nope, also fails due to miss matches of files detected via OTA script..
Q: Can i use the OTA files to update to the newest ROM version first ?
A: Yes course, start with newest Odin flash (QD4 at the mo) then use the OTA increment update files, then load the Ufirm modder if you want, or not your choice !
Q: Can i install OTA updates WITHOUT causing the update to wipe everything everytime !?
A: Yes you can, you HAVE to watch it update and STOP the update script procedure when you see "script succeeded: result was [/system]" and then Immediately press and hold Power + Home + VolUp + VolDown.
as found/posted by Mike_1996 here on this clicky link
Q: Can we not just install TWRP or other recovery and use that ?
A: No the bootloader is locked, and we cannot change recovery at all. (not even the standard S7 has this either (well only the japan version !))
Q: Well ive used this and ROOT and it stuppidly slow
A:Yes it can be a little slower, especially at first, it can settle, but the ROOT method we have is to use the engineering files, and they effect speed...
you can read through this thread, as there are 'some' tips, but ultimately, yes it will be slower at times !

originally by jrkruse
Very excited to see that the thread is started!!
Again, great job dude!
Any big things noticed since 24 hours with BS debloat with all S8 tweaks and the stock CSC which is powerful to delete all AT&T smudges... but I will still try a CSC of european S7 since I live there. (For the network preference?)
Only big battery draining with the engineering kernel... With all power save tweaks seen in the root thread.
I think the stock kernel portability should be a priority.
Perhaps an option to disable the startup sound, by deleting /system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg.bak
And modifying ro.config.tima to 0 in build.prop to fix shealth since it have to be deleted and reinstall to work.
If I'm not mistaken..! This is the way I use to make it working..
Oh. Great job.
do You get screenshot rom ?

Thankyou
-what things does the Euro CSC have thats beneficial ? could incorparate it, plus im in Europe too !
-Stock portability im looking into to, have finally worked out how they do it (managed to get reply from jrkruse)
-need to look into it more to see if its possible on the active, as its BL is v2, and the standard s7 is v4
but its to do with the mix match of gsm and cdma ... so Bootloader section is invovled, so would be risky !
-Will se what i can impliment for bootup sound, and will sort out the build.prop ...

Thankyou, no need for screenshots really, its not really a rom that changes much to look at, more of a debloater, and standard mod/launcher installer ...
soo looks either very minimalist stock, with choice of s8 apps, or as you want it via google apps, or/and novalaucher etc ...

gonna try get echoe converted next.. as i wanna see if gearVR works on it !
Like I expected use a CSC from European S7 works perfectly and add features in network, location and probably others nice things!
There is an aroma with lot of CSC for S7 in the forum, If it moded to allow a flash into S7 Active, it will works. I will contact the author.
Ok! I contact some people too for information about the tweaks to keep stock kernel.. we will see!

do you have a link to forum of the CSC for S7 ? ...will take a read...
an the main place that explained how to keep the stock kernel is here....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/development/rom-t3569416/page15
and he says later on... "It's not the boot.img it's the dm verity process of the cdma firmware when gsm firmware is flashed over the top of cdma firmware. That's why in every case you have to start on cdma firmware it doesn't have to be Verizon"
so my understanding would be .. we would need to flash a, Verizon NON-HLOS.bin BL with the pit file ? (so thats the cdma firmware) which is risky ! as this may brick our device due to missmatch bootloader etc !?
Root, then run my mod, then once all the CSC, symlinks etc etc are back in place, flash back our own AT&T NON-HLOS.bin(the GSM) ....
but need to gather those NON-HLOS.bin's from the correct versions, mainly a AT&T one, and compare the actives to a standard G930A, IF they the same, then we MIGHT have a chance !?

Have you tried selinux mod changer to make the drivers stick? Had to use it on my old HTC 626s.(v4a)
Hi, i flashed the s8 dual speakers mod and it works great! Music, ringtones, all work with dual speakers. But I noticed in some games like Mobile Legends none of the speakers work. I also read the original thread on the last page that some users also reported that the dual speakers mod doesnt work in some games. Do u have the original mixer_paths_tasha.xml file so that i could restore it back to single speaker please?
I just hardbricked my S7 Active by trying to reinstall the stock kernel....
It doesnt start, doesnt want go in download mode or anything... while I havent touch to FBL SBL so logically it should be able to go in download mode but it doesnt want.
I try JIG USB but it doesnt help since battery need to be removed...
If anyone have another idea?
Be more carefull than me and don't flash anything... But I still think that it is possible to keep stock kernel after modding.
I will use the guarantee. So I can't help for few weeks...
If someone wants to try, follow the tutorial, apply all mod you want and finaly just flashing the stock kernel from flashfire (only original boot.img in a tar file) with selecting recovery mode reboot. It will show an error, after that select mount system/ then wipe cache and reboot.
See you soon!
ouch ... its pretty hard to hard brick them, using stock stuff...
ive been messing around with lots of messed around boot.img initially and i never bricked it, LOTS of blue screens, and warnings !
what was battery charge at ?? as they dont seem to charge when in bootloader/recovery
so if it gets into bootloops and fall asleep say and dont notice, you may get stuck ...
i was VERY close to doing this... once i woke, realised and reflashed something so it boots, i was at 2% !!! i started at 80%ish
so be cateful bootloops drain it quicker, and can make phone get real hot, especially when ya fall asleep at ya desk as coding all night !
i dont see how flashing stock boot.img would brick it too,
unless it didnt flash properly ? as it checks image for checksums/hacks before commiting it to memory..
so worst would be boot loops...
only way to brick i would of thought is mess around with the BL section in odin.... as bootloaders can bugger it !
maybe leave it on charger over night, and then try get into bootloader ??

I could be wrong but to me it sounds like he applied mods and then tried to return to stock BL; obviously that isn't going to work but I'm very surprised that you can't just reflash?

indeed, would just result in boot loops ...
on a different note, now uploading new version 2.1
Fixed viper4android, NoNaMeMod, and added return to single speaker mode, bootanimation sound select, plus redone the manual debloat section so its more suited to our actives ...
also looked into csc, and its gonna be better if you just run a dedicated CSC swopper .. like the one here

CSC swapper is ok to run via Flashfire?
I thought you had to have TWRP.
Downloading 2.1 now, very excited. You've achieved a great deal here, Miniminus and should be very proud of your efforts.
I'm super pleased to have root + a few goodies on Android 7.0
Have to say even with Eng kernel, 7.0 rooted is way smoother and less buggy than root on 6.0 (especially with all your tweaks applied). But, I am still missing the battery life I was able to achieve in 6.0 Root with a few xposed modules and deep hacks configured. Under 6.0 I managed to get it to the point I would lose about 2% battery overnight. Under 7.0 I lose about 20% per night no matter what I do.
Still, battery life is decent compared to all my other devices and the dual speaker mod + viperx etc absolutely kicks arse.
Bluetooth is broken for some reason on version 2.1. Admittedly I did not check this on 2.0, but in current release applied with full wipe + all S8 cmods + heavy debloat it simply does not turn on.
Also, wifi keeps losing my settings as it did with the original root process. I can't remember how to fix this but I know it can be done.
I'm having the same issue after flashing v2.1 . Everytime i restart my phone, the wifi settings get reset. I have to manually key in my wifi password again. Bluetooth doesn't work when I tap the icon, Device maintenance is missing from settings, and the blue light filter is also missing..

Thankyou have spent way to long on it, and i was only trying to get the GearVR going on it, of which i STILL cannot do, think its locked via kernel
csc 'should' work ok in flashfire, althou messing with csc is risky as it messes with efs partition ...
20% overnight is pants ! im defo getting over that, but i havent had simcard in me phone for a bit ...
whats it saying the most drain is in battery usage ?

hmmm which s8 mods you got selected ? as bluelight and wifi and device maintenance are ok here ... so the script is ok, must be one of the modules, and im gonna guess at a s8 one ! ..
but can confirm my bluetooth isnt working either, not noticed before .. will have to try pin it down to an action thats been carried out will have to go one by one !!!!
so clean install, and select nothing .. see if anything breaks etc etc
device manager i think gets messed with with the s8 browser ..
im out today so will look tonight ..
Hmm i didnt install any s8 mods as the system UI crashed the first time i tried the s8 mods. But my firmware before i flashed ufirm is qf2 june patch.. and i chose manual debloating including AT&T apps, ANT apps, and most of the samsung bloatware
Is there any log information that we can provide to try and track this ***** down?
Cheers

Hi,
I have been in contact with Bertans through his LEANdroid thread and through private message and we have been working on a bit of a mod for LEANdroid. Basically people want OC/UC and the rest of the goodness from other roms.
It is a mod of LEANdroid 11.10.2 and has a few extra bits over and above that rom. Now has a kernel custom compiled by me from aorth's kernel source.
Includes:
LEANdroidMOD_6
-2.2.2 Thailand rom base, newer and has the mystical .2 instead of .1!
-NOMA kernel from before
-Custom Ubuntu and Jura fonts because they look better than the ugly android ones
-Not compatible with previous 2.2.1 releases (up to LDM 5)
-This is for testing, not sure if it is compelling enough as an upgrade over LDM5 as I am going to include fonts in LDM 5 too.
-Still has old market, but it will auto update, may update it in a future release.
-Has XDA anti malware patch set up in installer.
LEANdroidMOD_5
-Custom kernel based of NOMA source
-Very custom smartass cpu profile setup, seems fast and battery efficient
-24/12/12, now has Ubuntu and Jura fonts and XDA anti malware patch in installer
-Otherwise similar to before
Previous
-Android 2.2.1+ LEANdroid 11.10.2+
-OC/UC 30mhz to 691mhz. Defaults to 30mhz and 600mhz- Fusion Kernel.
-Smartass and interactive governers. Default is ondemand.
-164MB free space.
-Some custom sounds.
-Fusion kernel 122mhz and 600mhz by default.
-Busybox
-NOfrills cpu control installed by default.
-Tweaked memory management
Everything that worked on LEANdroid should still work up to LDM 5 but it has a more spicy kernel and a few more tweaks. Please backup first as I cant be responsible if it doesn't work or you lose stuff. As these builds are just LEANdroid with a different kernel and a tweak or two, you should be able to get away with just flashing it over your existing LEANdroid install and just wipe cache and dalvic cache.

Looks Good!
Great job - I'm excited - will try tomorrow. What keyboard and launcher is this running?
I will try it (I am excited about it).
Still dun understand why everyone say about abd driver in install procedure when all is done on phone and phone sdcard.
Is running standard android keyboard and launcher pro just like LEANdroid.
Think the adb part is just to get clockwork mod on there. You can also use rom manager if you want, although that seemed to be playing up last time I installed it. if you play a bit more you can also use fastboot, but I have not tried that yet. Im still running CWM 3 installed ages ago using rom manager.
Any idea how to get extended "Phone options" when i press power button.
Like reboot, etc not just the 3: Silent, Airplane, Power Off ??
Thx.
It is something to do with custom frameworks. Have not explored that much as yet. Trying to get the kernel good and fast for a start and then can look at custom looks for later.
Hangs at Android logo
I had just finished flashing LeanDroid when I noticed your (what I like to call) "LeanDroid on Steroids" (on Steroids due to being overclocked). I had been thinking if I were to right a ROM, this would be it...so...I was jazzed. I spent all day trying things over and over and can't get it installed. It just hangs at the "Android" screen. I had to install something so went back to regular LeanDroid and installed it again with no problems. I did everything you suggested including the wipe and the new CWM to no avail. Did anybody else get it installed?
Oh, ok... interesting. will have to do a wipe and flash and see what is going on at some stage. Have been developing it as I go on my phone, so possibly it works as I have been flashing kernels and such over existing builds.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Does CWM give any errors with installing?
Im guessing you are reasonable experienced with flashing, but how long did you leave it for on the android screen?
is this the android animation screen or the boot splash?
Does the MD5 hash match?
Thanks for helping test this, hopefully can get some more info and testing done to work out what is going on here.
heh, just flashed it from fresh and no dice, boot loop. trying to suss it now.
Going to upload a more basic build which is just leandroid+ kernel. Just tested on fresh install and it boots fine. Link will be updated in the first post.
Paul
Ok, take 2... try the new mod which is in the original post. It is straight LEANdroid+fusion kernel.
CWM gives no errors. Not heavy enough to know the meaning of "MD5 hash match" but also not fresh out of the box; I gave it at least 5 minutes on the "Android" screen (don't know if that's called the animation or boot splash); regular LeanDroid takes almost exactly 2 minutes so I thought 5 should be long enough. Will try the new one now. If doesn't work it will take me a little while to get back to you about it because I'll have to reinstall a working ROM so I can connect and reply. Here goes.
PS: I'm not doing this for fun; I just wanted a fast & lean ROM because I found myself demanding a lot of my little IDEOS and she was getting intolerably slow...am I'm really exhausted from trying to come up to speed on all this over the last few weeks...so...I want to be finished with this now...so...when you do any future updates (in gratitude for my help ) if it's even possible, could you please make sure it catches this LEANdroidMOD_2 so I don't have to do anything else to have your final version? I'd really appreciate it. Here goes. I'll let you know what happens.
OK. It loaded. Took 2 minutes just like plain LeanDroid. I went straight to the app drawer to play with NoFrills but it's not there. I realize you probably "lightened" this one as a troubleshooting tool to get her working. I just installed NoFrills and it does offer the 691MHz of the custom kernel. Sorry for asking you to educate me but:
1. Is it very advantageous to have NoFrills (or any desired apps) built in to the ROM instead of installed separately and if so, why?
2. Should I go 691, 122, ondemand, & deadline or what?
3. Should wait before I start heavily customizing my homescreens with postits, etc. because this prelim version won't be updated?
4. Is there a way to update to a more final version without losing my homepage customizations?
Thanks for the (I say best) ROM and any educating you give.
Hey Paulynator, thanks for your patience. Leandroidmod_2 was a very quick build to get things moving as I had to build something to get my phone working after the first rom didn't boot in testing! Will upload another build with busybox by default and a couple of small mods today. Problem came from data/app, so ditched that and put apps into /system/app.
Questions:
1)Not really, I just like it, others may prefer setcpu or something else instead.
2)You go with what you feel happy and doesnt crash your phone, try 652 and 60 first, then go higher and lower if it is working fine. Just leave apply on boot unchecked in nofrills until everything is working fine. Ondemand and deadline will be fine.
3)Updates should be able to be installed without a wipe.
4)Just install zip in CWM over your install, sorry, I cant promise anything though.
Thanks
Paul
Ok, take 3. everything from 2+busybox and some custom bits. Tested on my phone and it boots fine with a total wipe. Hopefully wont need to do a total wipe, but have not tested flashing over an existing install.
For question #1, I didn't mean NoFrills as opposed to SetCPU or something else; I'm asking if it's very advantageous to have desired apps built in to the ROM instead of installed separately and if so, why?
Paul,
Report on LEANdroidMOD_3 (a.k.a. LeanDroidOnSteroids, c'mon, it rhymes!) (or even "cleaner": SteroidLeanDroid. If I say so myself, awesome title for an awesome ROM...to me.)
Installed over version #2 w/o wipe seems to be ok...to the extent that I started the process of recluttering (restoring) my Ideos as though "she's a keeper", i.e. no more wiping; the records stay intact from now on.

Sorry to hit you with 3 since your last but since we have a "hard"/permanent Home button right below the screen, is the redundant one at the bottom of the app drawer removable from a menu or would I have to mod the rom to remove it?

Doesnt matter one way or the other, I just liked it built in. Only possible advantage is that some apps in /system/app wont use space in /data/app, but this is lost the moment you update them as updates seem to install into /data/app. So my Leandroid with nofrills in /system/app still gives 164mb free space in data partition until things get updated.
Good work, thanks for the update that it can be installed over a previous install.
Home button is part of launcher pro. on the home screen, hit menu>preferences>appearance settings>uncheck home button on app drawer.

Just found a possible glitch. Don't know if it's the ROM so tried the obvious things to no avail. The camera app (any camera app; I tested the problem by downloading and trying others) won't access the gallery. In the stock app, the little preview window (that tapping opens the picture in the main window) won't open the picture. It gives an error message saying "app initialize failed. please download the app from the market". The app isn't in the market so I d/l'd 2 other camera apps and they both did the same. Using Root Explorer to try to open a picture also wouldn't work. Could you please try to access the gallery on a phone you've installed your ROM on and let me know if it works? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Works fine on mine. Try go to the market and update Quickpic. It does not like being in /system/app so if you update it, it should work. It was one of the reasons I tried to put it in a data/app from the start, but that caused bigger problems like the rom not booting.
I could also put the stock gallery back in alongside quickpic if needed but it does not have multitouch.
Hello, i bring to you the QuickRemote app for your AOSP Marshmallow rom, CM13 or any rom based on CM13 (Resurrection Remix, Bliss, AICP), you may ask, "Why would i want QuickRemote on my AOSP rom if MM has native IR support and Peel or Anymote works without all this mambo jambo?
Well, even though what i just said is true, no remote controller app has the learning method enabled, even on a stock rom, only QuickRemote can enable the IR receiver to learn a controller that does not appear on the device/manufacturers list.
So, that's the reason we want QuickRemote to work on our AOSP rom.
So, before anything, i would like to thank @hikarisei23 because in a comment of his post HERE i found the files for QuickRemote to work on MM wich leads to the second person i want to thank wich is @syndre who on said comment, posted the files that worked on MM, also @KronicSkillz who helped a lot to troubleshoot and also confirmed that the method i'm posting here works.
Well, this is it, after personally testing with: Resurrection Remix, AICP and Bliss, all of them MM amd CM13 based, all of them with the stock kernel and Lambda Kernel i'm confident enough to post it here, days of testing and troubleshooting and 3 different roms later.
So first, the mandatory disclaimer, im not responsible for any problem that may result from using my method and the files i'm providing you, either with your phone or your self-esteem, it's your responsibility to read, re-read and only do what you are comfortable with.
What you will need:
1. - The phone, this only has been tested with Lg G2 and Lg G3, this may or may not work on another LG phone with IR, you can try, but at your own risk.
2. - The Rom, this only have been tested with AOSP roms either CM13 or CM13 based roms, again, you can try in another rom but at your own risk.
3. - Obviously a Custom Recovery (twrp, cwm, philz)
4. - The three zips im leaving at the end of the post, QRemote_AOSP_MM.zip Fix_Part1.zip and Fix_Part2.zip.
5. - Maybe necessary or not, depending on your rom, Universal init.d from Playstore HERE and Selinux Mode Changer from HERE.
6. - Root Access.
Ok, once you checked and have everything needed, we have to make a little prep on your Rom before starting to flash the zips.
Rom Preparation 100% Needed
You need to set Selinux to permissive, here is where you may or may not need Selinux Mode Changer, First go into "About Device" on your phone settings and in the bottom you will find an indicator for Selinux state, if its "Permissive" you are good to go, some Roms and Kernels have this set to Permissive by default, if it's Enforcing, search in your Rom or Kernel settings, some of them have an option to set it to Permissive, if your rom does not have any option to change it, you will need Selinux Mode Changer, you install it and set Selinux to permissive, after reboot you can check in About Device again to see if it succeded, if it does not work, try again and check the original post, most of the answers are there, i cant give support for this app, also, this app needs root rights, and preferably two reboots after setting Selinux to Permissive.
Next you need to have init.d support, again, some roms have it, but at least for the test that me and the other users did, even though you are pretty sure init.d is enabled it's better to just install Universal init.d from the Play Store and enable init.d manually after doing so, reboot the system at least two times and grant Root access.
Installation!
Now we are ready to start flashing, reboot into recovery and RECOMMENDED, do a Nandroid Backup just in case, but at the moment no boot loops or any other problems had raised from flashing this, but again, just in case. After that, flash the first file: QRemote_AOSP_MM.zip, reboot your system and let it settle for a bit, 1 minute at least.
Now is the part where almost everyone has problems, you have to check in your Sdcard root for a log file named Qremote.log, if the file is there, it means init.d is enabled and in the file it will say if Selinux is Ok, if you don't have the file, check back the first two prep steps and try again.
Now if everything is going ok, is time for the second file, Fix_Part1.zip, reboot and let the system settle again, you may have some force close errors from QuickRemote or QuicksetSDK, its ok, you can try and check if QuickRemote is working, in allmost every case it will not work just yet, but you may have some luck.
Now, is the time to flash the third file, Fix_Part2.zip, again, reboot and let the system settle, now, you should have a working QuickRemote app on you AOSP MM Rom.
This are the steps, if you need more information about what all of this is doing and why you need Selinux and init.d, also why you need to flash 3 files, you can read the troubleshooting section where i explain what i understand about it.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Well, if you are here, it means that this didn't work as planned, so lets make this like a FAQ so you just search your problem and get the answer for it.
P.- I can't see QuickRemote on my app drawer. A: be sure that QuickRemote.apk is not showing as "com.lge...." and has the default green Android icon on your app drawer, sometimes and for reasons unknown to me, this happens for the first day or so, it will automatically change to QuickRemote and it will have the correct icon at least 5 hours after you installed it, it can take more time. A2: Maybe the flashing proccess was not successful, re-flash the file, it will automatically delete previously flashed files and install a new copy of them.
P. - I get force close messages for QuickRemote or QuicksetSDK after completing the proccess. A: try to run QuickRemote after the system settled, most of the times is 1 minute, in some roms and for reasons unknown to me, this messages will appear at boot but after the system settled, you will be able to run QuickRemote without any problem.
P. - QuickRemote opens up but no manufacturers are showing and it also gets really slow. A: this problem shows when either QuicksetSDK is not correctly installed or Selinux is not set to permissive, the solution for the first problem is in my 2 part fix, the version of Selinux included in the first zip, works great with MM but for some reason it will not work out of the box, i dont know if it's missing some files but it may or may not even show under system apps list on your settings menu, what my 2 part fix does is that, deletes the version of QuicksetSDK that the first flash installs and installs a temporary copy of QuicksetSDK wich i believe, writes information needed for QuicksetSDK to work properly, but this newer temporary QuicksetSDK apk, will allmost never work on MM, you can try but allmost every time it will not work, it will constantly force close, so the second fix zip, will delete this temporary QuicksetSDK and the folder it creates in your Sdcard root and install the previous version of QuicksetSDK again, and now, if everything went well, it will work as it's supposed to, i really dont know why exactly, but it works.
A2: the first thing you will notice when you switch to MM is that allmost every app will ask for permission to your Sdcard or camera or microphone wich in LP was not doing, since 4.3 Google is taking extra steps to ensure that you and your information are better protected one of this steps is Selinux (Security Enhanced Linux) wich, for putting it in simple terms, is like a sandbox for your system, only some trust-signed apps can get out of that sandbox and copy files etc... Into your system, those not-so privileged apps cant output anything outside the sanbox and thats why you need to disable or "set to permissive" Selinux, so QuicksetSDK can make the changes necessary for QuickRemote to do its work, it's true that now your system is in a degree "more vulnerable" but if you are a user of this forum, the odds to install something that will damage your system or jeopardize your information are minimal, you need to be really silly to fall for those "your system has problems" or "your battery is gonna explode if you don't install this app" ads that appear on your phone on the daily basis, so, dont worry, but at the same time, just be carefull and have some common sense, if there is a way for this to work with Selinux set to Enforcing, i will update it in the same second.
P. - QuickRemote force closes whenever i try to open it. A: this is caused by either a bad zip flash, or problems with Selinux or init.d, follow the previous answer and the first installation steps again.
P. - I can see QuickRemote and QuicksetSDK on my apps list, no force closes but still no manufacturers. A: Be sure init.d is enabled, i had problems with Roms that had "native init.d support" and emulated init.d will not work, the only way i got no problems with this was with Universal init.d, install that even though you are "pretty sure" your rom supports init.d, the 10QuickRemote.sh script on your init.d tries to get your country to see if you will use the app in, either Korean or any other supported language, it will also give some permissions to a file and it will check if Selinux is Permissive and finally, it will log this to a file called Qremote.log on the root of your Sd, if you have problems and you cant see the file, the problem is 99% most of the time, init.d.
P.- I don't want to flash three files, isn't there a simpler way? A: Unfortunately no, at this moment and after A LOT of testing etc... This is the only effective way i found.
P. - I'm afraid to set Selinux to permissive and leave the door open for all kind of bad ju ju and stuff to invade my sacred Android system, what can i do? A: Skip this hole thing, at the moment, the only way to make this work on AOSP MM is by doing the previous, just be careful, get some common sense and everything will be just fine.
Well, thats all i can think of right now, if you have suggestions, problems or a better way to make this work, please tell me in the comments or PM me, i'm glad to help as far as i can, i hope this helps, i leave you with the needed files and proof that it works.
QRemote_AOSP_MM.zip - MEGA - DRIVE
nice you started a new thread!
Ive been messing around with this a lot the last few days and I have been seeing the same fix you were talking about by swapping the quickset apks back and forth. Ive put together a zip for flashing that I think would make things as easy as possible for people to get the list to show up.
The script in this one sets the correct permissions for everything on flash. It will instal;l the L version of Quickset, which doesnt show the manufactures list. The M quickset apk also gets flashed but i just put it in /system, so its there and can be moved easily. When you boot the first time after flashing, the the ROM uses the L version. All you should have to do then is use a file manager app to move the QuicksetSDK.apk from /system to /system/app/QuicksertAPK/ replacing the one thats there already. Set perms to 644 if necessary. Now wipe tjhe app data for quickset app, forcing the new one to restart, you dont even have to reboot.
Last thing is you have to delete the Quickset Settings folder made by the lollipop quickset. The Marshmallow version will make a working folder of its own the first time you start Quick Remote.
I like your idea to make fixes in separate flashes, that is probably easier
link to my 01262016.AOSP-6.x.x-M_LGQuickRemote_v4.50.19.zip on MEGA
it's working great!
tnx!
i just ran a nightly update on mokee6 which is cm13 similar and i had to reflash the fixes to get it working again and strange thing is i noticed lib folder is gone from quickset sdk folder but it's working
another thing i noticed is quickset sdk is not in my apps list so don't use that as a way to test if it's working either see if manufactures show up after waiting a bit or try the learning feature to test app functionality
im using d852 with stock mokee6 kernel btw of anyone's wondering and yes i have all apps selected
The mult-zip installation also worked out here on BrokenOS. Remote is working fine.
Originally I used "init.d scripts support" app to handle the init.d file. Worked just fine, BTW. Reason for that is I wasn't sure what would happen if I used Universal Init.d with Broken as it has a directory full of tweaks.
On later examination I see that each script needs to be enabled before it will run (via Settings. True/false values are then looked up in a cfg file).
So I reckon I can safely use Universal Init.d.
LG G3 D851, BrokenOS MM ROM, Tapatalk 4.9.5
can i delete universal init.d after enabling it?
@syndre well yes, i think that flashing zip it's pretty straight forward, your new method is simpler but i think that just flashing and not having to deal with system folders and permissions is better for the less tech savvy, but a little more hideous because of the various reboots

You're welcome
@marcdw yes, the thing with Universal init.d is that it really enables init.d at boot, Resurrection Remix and AICP also have their individual init.d scripts and they run, i don't know why the QuickRemote script does not run, and Universal init.d does not mess with the existing scripts, so it's not harmful for the system and runs the script at boot and thats what we want
@KronicSkillz well, I'm glad it works, i used the QuicksetSDK thingy because it seemed like it was the only consistent thing, sometimes the Quickset Setup folder would not show, or it will show with the first QuicksetSDK but at least at first QuicksetSDK would not show in the apps list, after the first fix it would and it would show again, i will put it in the post, thanks for the feedback

Try force closing QuicksetSDK and delete its data, re-flash the fix part 2 and see in that helps, also i think that you need Universal init.d again, the Qremote.log updates at every boot and it wont update if Universal init.d is not installed
Thanks for creating a new thread, I've been busy for a while and won't be able to do much androidy stuff for now.
I have seen an interesting changelog in cyanogenmod that creates selinux policies for QuicksetSDK, but they haven't merged it yet. So fingers crossed that it'll be merged ASAP so things will be easier for us

Did you flash both fix zips? The need for those 2 fix zips is because the QuicksetSDK that comes in the Qremote_AOSP_MM.zip works with Marshmallow but by itself it will not create some required files in the system and it will most likely not show in the apps list, the QuicksetSDK that comes in fix part1 most of the times wont work on Marshmallow but it will create some necessary files on the system it will show in the apps list but it force closes, and the QuicksetSDK in the fix part 2 is the same as in Qremote_AOSP_MM.zip but this time it has everything needed to work properly and it now should show in apps list allmost every time, so you need to follow the steps again closely and i recommend that before you flash the fix part 2, you go into your apps list and force close QuicksetSDK and delete its data, also report if you get Qremote.log on the root of your Sd and what this shows if its there

This twrp does not decrypt htc encryption still.
while using the decrypted boot.img it can access all features
backup/restore etc.
using on a encrypted storage will not work still. atleast until captain throwback comes back with the correct mods needed.
New link is up, located a few issues and removed them.
Boot.img was being pre-rooted and was causing a hang, no longer a issue.
The setup wizard has been removed, the default homescreen was cleaned, almost all bs apps are gone, ill update with a newer version here soon.
Just need to flash the su zip after first boot, the fingerprint and service issues shouldnt be present in this build anymore.
old system size was well over 12gb. Now it's at a healthy 8gb debloated.. What a difference.
delete please
Is hot-spot unlocked?

a lot of it has to do with the design of the phone being its metal. Unfortunately its not something im able to deture much. You could reduce temps some by under-clocking the processor or reducing the amount of use the processor is going through, kernel auditor or similar apps give you the ability to scale back the cpu, but you will take a performance hit doing so. A case at least removes some of the heat transfer to your hands but inst much of a "fix"
does this rom have radio

Team DevDigitel Presents:
Stock With Goodies =)
This is a stock based rom based on the QI5, QK3, QL9, RA6, and It is Pre-rooted with SuperSu, Heavy Debloat and some slight adds, this is just the basic start, Moded boot animations and removal of all carrier info that is not sprint, so non sprint users... well sorry, this is the sprint side of things.. if you want to flash this and you are non sprint, go ahead and do so, then after phone has fully booted one time, put phone in download mode and flash your carriers csc, please do not request support in this thread for porting to other carriers.
WHAT YOU NEED:
You must have already Rooted your device with SamFail, You also will need FlashFire and Busy-Box installed and some common sense!
FlashFire : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en
(OR)
SAFE STRAP TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...covery-locked-nougat-7-1-1-safestrap-t3772765
Busy-Box: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&hl=en
Okay here lets get started, and oh wait..
And as always, I can not be held liable for the damage or malfunction of your device using these files, you proceed at your own risk and remove my liability by continuing to the downloads portion of this post!
STEPS:
Step 1: Insure Busybox is installed into system directly. I prefer /system/xbin
Step 2: Install FlashFire and grant it root permission
Step 3: Click the Little RED + button in the bottom right corner and choose Flash ZIP or OTA
Step 4: Navigate to where you have downloaded my rom and select it.
Step 5: Check the box next to ( Mount / System read / Write) then hit the check mark in top right corner
Step 5.5: If you are not already on my rom, you must choose WIPE and do a full wipe, this is deodexed and the old data needs removed, this also needs to be put at the top of the flash list to be done 1st just click and hold on the wipe and drag it to the top.
Select the following : Wipe System Data, 3rd Party apps, Dalvik Cache, Cache Parition.
Step 6: Hit the FLASH button at the bottom and hold on for the ride! If all goes well you should have installed TeamDevDigitel rooted stockish rom and enjoying yourself.
Step 7: Hit the thanks button at the bottom of the post and keep checking back here for updates!!! Photos attached to post to see how things should look on boot-up and during install using FlashFire.

Status : Stable
BUGS / KNOWN ISSUES:
*Pop-up While being plugged into pc saying device can not be used, this is normal just dismiss and use as normal.
*Certain Apps do not work due to being rooted; SamsungPay, SHealth, SecureFolder and others are effected by this.
some apps now working with tima=0
*If you get stuck in setup wizard, please click back and go forward again, if it still wont proceed just reboot phone and it will make it through the setup. This happens randomly for setups it seems.
If you are having audio issues : go to /system/etc/mixer_paths_tavil.xml and change to mixer_paths_tavil.xml.bak2 and take the mixer_paths_tavil.xml.bak and remove the .bak off of it. This essentially turns off the dual speaker mod, but shouldn't need to be done, some apps just may not like dual speaker mod?
Removed This pre-built in feature on BRB4 due to many apps not supporting dual audio this way.

Please pay attention to how files are labeled as this is to help insure you have chosen the correct firmware for your device. The U1 or U2 will be to determine if your device has been updated or not to the newer bootloader. This will forever lock your device to the newer revision bootloader U2 and you no longer can flash U1 roms or use their data from backups. Please insure you either update and flash U2 or if you are still on U1 and you bootloop and cant recover, restore using a u1 firmware or choose to flash the latest firmware.

Haha !!! 1st! Can't wait to give this a go. Thank you for your hard work! You rock!
Well ive narrowed down the camera to a issue with the updater script and the links/perms to the hardware for camera. Not sure where to start as the stock img and the eng img built very different scripts.. gonna have to play around some and see.
WOO!!! Glad to see you got it working before me!
I wanna go for a ride.. I'm buckling up!

Yes that's correct
Both are still not working. I'm still just in testing phase that it's flashing with flashfire and booting correctly for multiple people. Wiping data etc and it still works. Looking for fc's etc. I'm working on redoing the scripts in hope the cam and flash are just tied to the perm/metadata/symlinks auto generated by my tool

What happened? I'm thinking you would need to have selected wipe system and data and placed it at the top 1st because you are coming from a non deodexed Rom and i completely forgot about this step as I've been on deodexed myself for some time and it wouldn't effect me. If you want to give it another go that would be what would cause the issue.

Looking forward to downloading once uploaded, thanks for fixing the bugs
OP HAS BEEN UPDATED AND FRESH DL LINK IS AVAILABLE!
Make sure to review steps as they have changed, and i have attatched photos to op of the way flashfire should look.
Thanks so much for your hard work!
One question - I'm not rooted (yet); does flashing this (and hence being rooted) limit us to charging up to only 80%?
Thanks in advance!

Yes once rooted we are stuck at max 80% charge
Ok thanks - just got my note 8 on Saturday and I'm dying to root it. I'm just having a hard time accepting a 20% loss lol.
Hopefully the masterminds figure out a way to overcome that.
October release is available with or without root
Made a few changes as far as adding in some apk's to hopefully make it stable for everyone.
Besides that, the usual with normal default font BUT lots more choices in the font section.
Enjoy!
*if anyone has solid reasons to remove any apk files i've put back please let me know as some I should not have been removing and others... not so sure
I will no longer be able to provide new copies of this after the October security patch. I no longer own an A8 2018 and without a device to test the work, I do not feel it is appropriate to continue the project. I'd like to thank everyone that participated and I hope you enjoyed using it! If anything changes in the future that will allow me to provide the latest edited firmware, I will definitely be providing it here for you. I am using an S7 now so if you own one and like this work, there shall be downloads available there similar to this one. (Already testing).
Anyone that would like to continue on their own or have access to files used in making it I will try to include as much as possible from the link provided below by the end of October. There is currently a slightly outdated set of files and instructions (from June I believe) on how I made it already available.
Thanks Again!
Oct Security patch zip ready for download
Available with or without root AND with or without exo font - also an attempt to allow printing feature version. "Attempt" meaning I've placed a set of apk files into a separate and clearly labelled zip on the main download page that may allow proper use of the feature which has not been validated as operational by me or any other user. The "print fix" zip is rooted with exo font
This was made ONLY for the SM-A530W! Please do not use if not W (Canadian) variant. Check your phone info before attempting to flash
All ROMS/extras here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12Vwzn1CxNdT-ISsrOnSL4D353Nr14iRb?usp=sharing
The ROM will function very well and does not require any special patches, kernels, etc except obviously TWRP
Any additional issues you face with added mods most likely will need to be addressed with the creator
*Built by Superr's Kitchen*
Over 100 apps removed
***Find my mobile and pop-up asking to store lockscreen info removed- BE AWARE reduced ability to locate lost device!***
retro shutdown qmg
Overloaded notifications and ringtones
Oreo Weather (pie weather is a serious downgrade)
August Security release
FM tuner and App Lock (Next Radio may now be used starting from July 2019). Gee, THANKS SAMMY! What took you so long? Was it the polar bears?
Goofy selfie stickers that are funny... and creepy *big thanks to hadesRom genius Corsicanu for the find*
Other typical CSC changes
If your plan has wifi calling, turn it on/off once in phone settings to "break in" the qs tile
Dedicated Screen Recorder access in launcher with no shortcut style appearance (if deleted may be re-enabled with activity launcher as shortcut)
Chrome can be safely disabled at any time if desired and auto replaced with system webview
dm-verity + force encrypt already removed
Magisk rooted
Installation is easy as pie
BACK UP FIRST!
Wipe caches, data, system. Internal may be safely wiped and give the "freshest" install but is optional. Then flash away.
Once flash completes, just reboot.
-*Usage*-
You are free to use any ideas/changes included in the zip. In fact, I encourage you to do so. I've mostly pieced together work from other very difficult projects to create this. Nobody has asked me to add, remove or alter anything contained within this page or in shared downloads. Their work is everywhere and it's what made this possible.

Some screens to sample below. yay

I followed your instructions. I was already updated to pie previous to flashing your rom. I am not able to get root. Any ideas why. I also have the Canadian version. Good job on the Rom, I like it. I wish I could get root.
Ok. I can't really suggest anything other than the obvious.
But you've let it boot once before trying, and are adding the apk as well after flashing magisk in twrp?
Hard to figure that one out. If you're using Magisk, i am assuming.

Have you tried 19.1 you may need to flash twice.
I used magisk 19.1. First I used supersu and magisk uninstaller first. I have root now. Thanks for your help. It amazes me that sometime we over look the simplest thing.

I know exactly what you mean. I do it all the time.
Nice you got it going. It's pretty lame if you don't root this. I just cut it up and added a couple things and they can be taken out, except radio and the recorder.
Curious if i got it right. If you're on anything other than VMC, is call recording and other micro features working? All the cscfeature xml files are decrypted so you can see what was done.
Everything seems to be working. I appreciate the work, Canadians are usually the last to get Roms. Most are made for the sm-a530f model. I was using the wrong method. One post said about waiting 166 hrs to reboot your phone after zipping RMM_State Bypass etc. etc.. Your way is simple. Once I get a chance I wlll have a look at what you have done, I work long hours. And as you said, what is the point if you cant root. Thanks again.

It is 168 hours no reboots and rmm did work that rmm was for Oreo.
I think his would be fine but no guarantees.
Custom kernel 2.0 flash twice.
Light rom works without issue make sure you flash magisk.

Yeah bud. If you unzip the attached file, you can place it in /system/priv-app/ and make sure the permissions are set correctly for the folder and apk. Compare with other apps in the directoty and make it the same.
Then get the activity launcher app from the play store. Use that to make a link for it.

okay thanks for that. It is probably from my csc edits. I can adjust for freedom and hope it makes a difference.
Anything else to mention about it? What you did before flashing, are you using latest twrp, root or non root.... anything at all
no-verity... favourite snack... p.i.n. number(s)... oops sorry not the last two. My mistake. TOO MUCH info. Disregard.
Do a search on xda for rooting your model for the correct version of twrp. U will need no verify no encript. I used the latest Magisk to root. Supersu did not work. I used twrp for the A8 plus and had problems. Get the right one. It's a great rom. https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....ery-twrp-3-2-2-0-galaxy-a8-2018-t3818201/amp/
I am looking at the csc for FMC and it appears i have doubled an entry. I need to go over all of them to see if i've done it elsewhere. I will have 2 updated ones hopefully late tonight. (Takes forever to upload).
Not sure if that is the cause but i will definitely adjust it.
Quick question in regards to your Rom. I been using it for a while now. Its the best one I can find, I did post a few times at the start. By any chance, did u get adoptable storage working? I know Samsung removed it in Pie. I tried root essentials but still no luck. Thus is not my first time rooting or installing roms. I started with the HTC 1. Lol. So far, u have the best rom for the A8 2018. Its nice and clean. Almost compares with lineage in my opinion. Thanks again. And by the way, I am Canadian.
Thanks
Hey i appreciate the gesture but even though i "made" this, i did it because of other people. SuperR is an invaluable tool. Then you got magisk, the twrp recovery and heck even give ol' Sammy some credit, haha. All i did was spend time learning everything from this site. I can't stress that enough. I still have not paid for superR and i am going to see how i can right after this.
ANYWAY!
Your question. I've never attempted it but i am very certain there's a magisk module that'll do it.
It involved formatting sd to ext 4 or 3. So i will get on it. Got a few 64 gig cards to spare. If you have a computer, grab the superR linux distro. I've run it on 32 bit machines. K... pay superr... adopt a card heheh.
I will look again in the magisk module section. And I give everybody right now credit for all their hard work and sharing it amongst all of us. Thank you. Thank you. I love modding my phones and I could not do it without everybody's help. All my PC's are 64bit.
Nice. If you need any help just ask. Just bought the kitchen.
I'll have something very soon. Mexico's pie has the classic csc folder of old. I think we should unify with some fiesta pie zip ui sorta thingy... um rom.
