Phronesis N7 Port v6 Release Note:

In preparation for V6 release, below are the release notes to get accustomed to before the rom is released.

1. You can dirty flash v6 on any version from v5.0 without any issue. Always backup your device before any firmware modification to avoid data loss in case of any failure.

2. If doing a fresh install and you've selected to use the Stock Camera, install the camera modes which is provided in OP as user app. Remember to first install any of the other camera first to have the home double press enabled. Then you can switch to the stock camera or any camera of your choice.

3. To have the flashlight not switching OFF automatically, you must disable SmartStay. The smart stay service will switch OFF flashlight automatically if not turned OFF

4. For anyone using swap file support, you can confirm it's activation by checking for the existence of the swap file in /data/swapfile. It's about 786MB in size. The file will be deleted if deactivated in rom control. You will normally not be able to manually delete the swap file when swapping is on.

5. You can now use Google Assistant irrespective of your locale. And it can be launched from any of the virtual buttons, screen swipe and screen sweep. All you need to do is set the action to custom app and then press on the "ShortPress / LongPress for Google Assistant". It could be set to short press or long press as long as the action already exist.

6. This release comes with Phantom kernel 1.2g. As with Phronesis previous versions, the team is always working with Phantom kernel developer [MENTION=4326291]6h0st[/MENTION] collaborating tirelessly to find the right balance with the rom and kernel. Kernel config app is available to tweak the kernel to your liking if selected in aroma. The rom now include modded KA app by the kernel developer because some function was missing from the original one. The modded KA has a different package name, that means it can co-exist with any other version you might be using. As with previous releases, you can always use any other kernel that you deemed fit for your device and usage.

7. The "Advanced Device Mod" section of the rom control has been reworked to put tasks in categories. There is now a section for "Advanced Kernel Features". This section can be used for different functions e.g. turning logging ON/OFF, switching swapping ON/OFF etc. You can also find the Magisk support in this section.

7. If after dirty flash your SNote won't work properly, uninstall it and reinstall from the rom.zip as user app.

8. As with previous version, to use Google On Tap function or Google Assistant, ensure you've selected the appropriate option in aroma or rom control and remember to enable it in Google App application. Now you can use Google Assistant with the two included framework options. Just enable via any of the buttons in rom control

9. As regarding modems, there is no perfect or best modem. What's best for me might not be good for you because the working of modem depends on other factors that are specific to each user. For example, location, carrier etc. Choosing the correct modem will enhance your signal strength, GPS connection among others. So, find the best modem for yourself and remember that newer modem does not necessarily means best modem.

10. You can use Phronesis rom control to back up your SMS, Call log, WI-FI and any relevant data before wiping so you could restore after install. You can however use other backup or restore apps of your choice. Just remember to back up your important data and files before wipe.

11. Due to hardware compatibility, don't expect all camera modes to work correctly; especially the N7 camera. From testing, it seems the stock camera (N4) has most all of the modes working if the provided camera modes are installed as user app.

12. The two included Internet app can co-exist as they have different package name. There is no need to have both installed. I personally use the beta version and I can recommend it.

13. To use the debloating option in rom control, you must have created a folder named "debloat" in your phone internal memory and place your debloat.sh file in the folder (/debloat/debloat.sh). Please see attached screenshot for details. You're responsible for modifying the debloat.sh to suit your need. Any questions relating to debloating should go in the debloat thread located Here

14. There is also option within the rom control to enable fast charge and zzmoove. These are different from what's configurable with Kernel Adiutor. These scripts were delivered to the /sbin/scripts folder of your device via the kernel. When these options are activated in rom control, the profiles get activated and scripts copied into init.d to make them stick after a device reboot. You can check the governor activation/deactivation using the CPU monitor within the rom control statusbar settings.

15. Rooting:- This release comes with 6 options to choose from in Aroma. Use the Chainfire Systemless / System Mode rooting if you're in doubt of the option to use. You can never go wrong with those two. Rooting options in this release includes the following:

i. Chainfire System Mode

ii. Chainfire Systemless Mode

iii. Chainfire Systemless Mode with Magisk

iv. Magisk with MagiskSU

v. Unroot

vi. Unchange - useful when mod update without the need to change rooting type. ​

System Mode rooting makes root available via modifying system files, while Systemless is via the kernel. To successfully use Magsik + MagiskSU, you must follow these steps else you will run to few issues like the Bluetooth Share FC or even apps like Titanium backup not able to obtain root.

a. Have the Magisk v12.0 zip ready in your sdcard or memory card. You can extract from rom.zip or download from Magisk thread Here

b. Select to flash kernel in aroma or you can flash any kernel of your choice.

c. Select Magisk + MagiskSU rooting method in aroma.

d. Flash the Magisk v12. You can do this without rebooting or after rebooting, it should work fine in both cases.

e. To pass SafetyNet, enable Magisk Hide within Magisk Manager settings and use entry in Rom Control to apply patch for passing SafetyNet

f. Last but not the least, if you change your kernel

YOU MUS

T re-root following the steps above or by just flashing the latest Magisk else you will not be rooted as root for systemless mode is been patched into the kernel ramdisk ​

16. Switch to different weather app or Smart Manager combinations in the Advanced Device Mod section of rom control.

Rom is being uploaded and OP will be updated once complete.
