[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] oluwaponmile:
Phronesis N7 Port v5.2 Release Note:

1. You can dirty flash v5.2 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.

3. The combo Smart Manager was provided as a complimentary gesture for those who requested it and you must be aware of the following:

- The N7 Smart Manager will be shown as "Device Manager" and the C9 Pro SM will be shown as "Smart Manager"

- You will be able to select either of the manager for completing different tasks. It's like having 2 applications that does the same function on your device. You will be prompted to select which app to use to complete tasks.

- Certain task requires the N7 or C9 Pro to be selected as default app, else you will get a blank screen that the notification for the app has been disable. If you receive such message, switch to the other application.

- For enabling ultra data saving (UDS) within the c9 SM, you must select N7 as default app when prompted. Else you will not be able to use Opera data saving. Once you get everything setup, it become smooth operations between the two apps.

- If you've selected to use both apps, you will sometimes have double notifications for some tasks.

- If for any reason you're not satisfied with having both apps installed together, just make a new selection using Rom Control. See screenshot below

- Be aware that the C9 Pro SM has more functions and can limit your application auto start as part of power and data saving. Ensure you have allowed required permissions to your apps else you might not receive notifications from certain apps if they have been put to sleep or restricted in any way.

- For any question you might have regarding the two apps, everyone here will be able to help you until you have everything working nicely together. Just ask nicely.

​

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. For the Google Assistant and Recently, all the file to get Google Assistant is included in this release. However, it's been deployed by Google with some countries not fully supported. If you're using US language, you will get GA with minutes of flashing V5.1. For other locale, you might have to change your language to US and wait few minutes to get GA. It might however be lost / not if locale is reversed to original language. The new function to issue command to your phone is also locale dependents. It has to be US.

6. This release comes with Phantom kernel 1.2d. As with V5.1, the team and Phantom kernel developer collaborated 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 be 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.

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.

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 /res 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.

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