Well it must have been with the flash. I flashed again, put in 85.1 xposed. Had some problems with supersu, seems programs I granted access too did not register. It even showed in the supersu app as granted. Reflashed supersu. All but one radio problem went away. No more xposed fatal errors., or criticals.

I'm still getting some kernel fatal errors, but I found some developer boards, will try to patch it and compile with some tweaks by this weekend I am getting a few samsung fatals, basically for car or wearable gear. But no app crashes, and a few hiccups with motion sensor stuff from samsung

Looks like most the fatal errors I'm getting now deal with samsung and their acceptance to let these go. And some java but those go back to samsung as well.

Most fatal errors and criticals I see now have been around since JB or L.P. and just not worked out. But the only user issues I have seen are a slight delay on screen rotation. I have not had an app crash yet. Well before I reinstalled your Rom 2 days ago I had started to strip down my stock Rom. I got a decent chunk out, then when I was flashing my cat jumped in my lap and the wipe got triggered, I was going to wipe cache but ended up wiping the system before I got a backup.

I also got my adaptable sd drive on so it's basically a 40 gig phone. Wish I could script that in twrp then flash to have a nice size data partition. And I stripped some more apps out. I'm gonna give the kernel a go soon. Then run it through some stress tests. I have been tweaking Linux and bsd kernel since the 90s. So I so see how this goes, just started messing with android monitor and stuff from their suite. Going to look for an on5 profile.

This build is not for you if you are trying to use Samsung wear it's bloat free and De Knox. That can be the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jag9906:
No im.getting those fatal errors in the log files. They are being terminated but still when I filter, there are a lot of them. I will see about fixing them

I don't use those wear items or have a car with it. But all are having calls to them. Just would like to clean up the kernel just wasting resources

Thank God you came out with this ROM, because I am not sure what happened but I already had rooted my On5 by flashing TWRP with Odin etc... I was trying to extend my internal ROM by using my ext SD card and it rebooted and then I was soft bricked so I downloaded your ROM to my tablet and switched SD cards and flashed your ROM and thank God my phone is working better than ever. Thank you so much!
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeraspie28:
Well done sir!! A little buggy, as I'm sure you're aware, otherwise excellent! Got Xposed to work just by installing .apk file...no issues at all. Thanks so much for your work on this. I was getting a little skeptical about this phone but you made it much better!

I made a stock one with everything included right out the box I will upload later and update the OP.

I'm on TMO as well and have been wondering if this would run on our phones. I imagine the only real difference is a boot screen and some carrier apps. If all is well post back with your experience with the rom. This is my 1st Samsung phone, so I'm not super proficient with everything just yet. Most of my experience was with Moto so I'm slow go with this phone and making sure I know my way back if I bork something.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BKiv:
Yea, same here. I've only had moto or nexus.

It works fine on T-Mobile. Just go in the settings and give the phone app permissions.

Yea, just has different carrier apps
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] 41rw4lk:
I just flashed this on my TMO sm-g550t, no issues with the process or boot. I only have two issues so far and I think they can be fixed. After booting the rom and going through the basic setup I rebooted the phone for good measure. After the reboot it 'redetected'? my sdcard and prompted me to set it up and format it for use. I wasn't stoked about that because that's where I keep things, even my backups. Fortunately, I always push a copy of my backups to my pc, so if I want to revert I can. It might have been a fluke, but others should be warned to save sdcard contents before flashing.

The second issue is APNs. I tried to send myself a MMS msg to test everything and it failed, most likely because I'm TMO. The only apn listed is for MetroPCS understandably, so I reset them to default, however the default list of apns quickly disappear and Metro is back and selected. I added TMO's apn manually and still no MMS. I'm thinking maybe something in the build.prop or possibly apns-conf.xml, not sure.

Maybe BKiv can validate this as an issue for TMO users, and not just my own experience.

All in all, not bad. I appreciate the contribution none the less and hope that this rom can become more refined as slim stock rom for both carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BKiv:
I'll try MMS/SMS later today and get back to you.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
It works for Metro

play services errors

Used Smart Switch to download and install a fresh stock rom - flashed twrp - then superstarz - google play store not installed , upon using gapps.zip the play services begin an update that never begins to download, and the store never downloads anything, just puts in in a que that never starts.

Tried using all of these in every order i can think of

Superstarz.zip

OpenGapps-aroma.zip

SuperSU.zip

On5.zip -created from stock rom

Xposed - various versions from 86.1 to 87.2

I need the SD as internal the most, and would like to play pokemon go with a spoofer and hidden from root

Instructions?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
I am not sure because I am running the Rom and have not had problems. I updated plays services through plays store. First I go to security to allow unknown apps than turn off android device manager. Go to build number tap to enable development options than usb debugging and reboot and than hopefully you are good. That's how I set it up but I skip everything first then sign in my Google account.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jedbolted:
Is there a new build coming soon? And what other features will it have? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] djjtrip:
will try a fresh install without signing in to google and let you know results.. do i even need Gapps ?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
No you don't need gapps it's a Stock Rom not custom like cyanogen mod.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Also when you download gmail it will prompt saying that you can't run it with out Google play services than update.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
For the moment, no. If I do work on anything else it would be custom but at the moment, no.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jedbolted:
Okay thanks. Has there been any developments with any custom roms? Has anybody heard anything? Is there maybe a ROM that is compatible with this phone that was designed for a different phone?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cookierobots:
Do I just download this and flash it in recovery? Or do I need to have a custom recovery installed? I don't have a computer at the moment but have been desperately trying to find a way to root, debloat, and to be able to put this 128gb sd card to use.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Custom recovery
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cookierobots:
Which I can't install without a computer?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] 41rw4lk:
SMS was never an issue, MMS would never send the attachment. I finally got TMO's apn added (you have to reboot for the apn to be used), but still the attachment would never send. Maybe a useragent issue. Since MMS msgs usually cost data and can only be sent via mobile data, TMO might be seeing this as a Metro phone, or some hybrid and not allowing it to send. Other than that issue, nothing weird or troublesome.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shoop333:
Much Appreciated!!

Thanks Superstarz! Only dev who has done any work on this phone. Everything works fine, got Link2SD working, and including Xposed framework saved some hassle. However, I believe I had 2 dialers,2 contacts apps after installing. I know one is Google.....did u include another one or am I mistaken? Also, is there a way to remove some of the Quick Settings icons without using Xposed module or theme engine? I know you can move them but I hate having 20 different icons I never use....Thanks again for your work/help!

[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hofs1:
Ok so maybe im losing my mind BUT ive installed the zip from the first post 2 times now and i always have Knox installed and never show any apps nor superuser as installed.....im doing this via the twrp recovery MUST i use your custom recovery??
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Super su is system less you can flash the latest SuperSU zip and you should be fine. It's debloated so it's missing some functions.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] soco1029:
i have also installed the zip 4 times and seems like its not installing complete build. I know its debloated but very minimal apps installed. google not even installed. system not rooted, no superuser, no xposed, knox still installed. in phone info build does not show build.with.superRs.kitchen. did complete wipe and tried zip 4 times. even redownloaded zip.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Because the last build was built using Assayed kitchen.

Will this ROM work on G550 T2?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] soco1029:
ok but that doesn't explain why its not rooted, knox still there, no xposed. What is the date of the last build?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
The day I posted it.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] soco1029:
The zip in the op link is dated 12/10 but on 12/14 you posted that you were upload and update the op. I just wanted to make sure I have latest version. if so any ideas why its not rooting with no superuser or xposed and knox still installed? Thank you for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
What do you mean it's not rooting? Flash the latest super su zip. Also install BusyBox installer.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Don't know what T2 is so no.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] soco1029:
Now I'm confused. The op states the rom is rooted, deknoxed with busybox and xposed framework.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
It's rooted but system less so it's a userdebug build. It has su in xbin. There's 3 options system less, system and patched kernel. I used system less.

I flashed this ROM last night and I really like it. I checked the settings and I want to make sure that everything is where it should be. Should SE for Android status be Enforcing? What should KNOX version read? Also, I saw here on XDA that google is pushing out an Android Security Update for January 2017 Released for Supported Devices, will this be able to be downloaded and installed on the Superstarz ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
Thanks. This is the stock ROM if Samsung releases the patches then I will put out another build. The stock kernel can't be modified without it not bootlooping.

why is this thread not posted on the galaxy on5 custom roms sections?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jedbolted:
Galaxy on5 custom ROM section?? Where? I would like the link, (if such a section exists...)
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
It's on the thread that exists on XDA. The moderators decide if the phone is Worthy of its own dedicated section. Just because a phone is released doesn't mean it will get development support. so to not clutter up XDA with phones no one will develop for.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hahahi123:
oh ok i see. hey i ran into an issue today where i got a message "custom binary block by FRP Lock." Is there a reason why this happened & if so, how do i prevent it? I do like this debloated rom you provided us but if this is what will happen later down the road again, should i stay in stock rom? I can't even access TWRP so i can't fix this unless i flash back to stock?
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
​

You have to deactivate Android device manager in security.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hahahi123:
i'm trying to figure out at the moment how to turn my device back on though. It displays the FRP lock message and then it shuts off. i don't know what else to do beside going to download mode. do i basically have to factory restore and lose everything?

Update: I managed to get back in last night through flashing my stock AP through Odin. Everything works fine, it's just not rooted. Luckily my stuff is all there too. I'll look into turning off that device administrator security setting. For now everything seems great. Thanks for your time. Looking forward to a custom hopefully.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hahahi123:
ok i don't mean to double post but so far i've ran into two issues. One being notifications are not displaying above the bar for certains apps, such as Offerup (no cha-ching noise). Mercari also seems to have an issue displaying your order. I couldn't rate my buyer so when i went back to stock, it was all normal. i wonder why its doing that. i am sure many other apps are facing this issue as well If there's a way to fix this without going back to stock, any help would be greatly appreciated. THank you
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] czarsuperstar@gmail.com:
This ROM is for people that don't need all the crap that comes installed in the phone and not being able to have space for games and other such things. If you need a specific feature I would suggest that you use stock but delete apps one by one until you are comfortable with the outcome. I don't use the phone anymore because I have the ZMAX pro. I see the future of Android development going in a different direction and I don't like the results. Samsung has made it a crime to root and the only way to not trip this frp error is to leave our phones vulnerable. You can't use a pin or password because Android device manager has to be active. So with that being said I would recommend that you use stock but modify it to your liking.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hahahi123:
Hi. Thanks for your message. I figured out the issue with offerup & notifications. I reinstalled in addition to resetting settings. I am still experiencing the error message viewing one of my completed orders from mercari but Idk why. Just hope it doesn't happen to any other apps. I would like to hold on to this phone until a newer phone peaks my interest this year. I do see a better battery life than the full stock ROM so that's what is keeping me staying with your ROM for now. Thanks for your help anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy On5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jedbolted:
Hey superstarz thanks again for the work and t time you put into making this custom stock ROM it is much appreciated I wish more devs were working on it. I was wondering if you had any knowledge of a step by step tutorial on how to use assayyeds kitchen? I've started using it a couple times and then it says that there's no new project or there's no current project that I'm working on help please???

Also, a new update has been released for the galaxy on5. You had previously mentioned that if there was a new update you would also update the the rom, which would be sweet! Thanks again for all your hard work we all appreciate it very much!
