Help!

Hi you seem quite knowledgeable about this Rom / phone model.

I had a look through quite a few of the pages to find a bit of narrative bottom lining this rom compared with the stock rom. I couldn't seem to find a direct answer searching through the pages.

How much better is this rom compared with the stock rom in terms of the speed of operating the GUI in general? Also does it have any overclocking capability?, or would I need to use a different kernel? If so do you know of a kernel that has been known to work.

There aren't as many rom's for this phone as say my J5 2015 and S6 that I have rooted. So, I'm kinda stuck with what rom to go for with this a300fu I have just got a hold of....... It keeps looking at me and I hear little voices saying I must find it a custom rom or else a unicorn will die!?!?

Thanks in advance.

John

I haven't even tried it, because it's my sister's phone, and don't want to mess with it. But according to the comments here, it doesn't seem to be a polished ROM.

Let's wait for the next release

This ROM is on my work phone (24hrs ready phone) since day 1 of this ROM . All work. I don use games and not need to clock CPU. Very stable, for me.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] musicdoge:
I have a problem

So, let me tell you all as it happened. I wanted to install this on my A3 2015 (FU model), and I have got as custom recovery TWRP 2.8.7.0, This OS and Gapps. After I'd seen that it didn't work, I reinstalled the stock MM OS (for my device and for the exact carrier and country, installed with Odin). Good, the problem was that everything moved very slow and choppy and also most of the apps were freezing (IDK if this is useful, but I had also root, got from the SuperSU site). Then I have tried it again. As I have reencountered the same problem, the install wont work, I surfed through the thread pages and spotted someone with the exact problem: TWRP 2.8.7.0, OS won't install. Somebody said that you need the latest version of TWRP to make it work. Good, I got TWRP 3.0.2 and repeated the process: factory reset, backup and install, first in the row LineageOS, then Gapps and then root (the same package as when I rooted with the stock OS). So, the phone freezed (I think, maybe it didn't, but it wasn't showing any sign of movement). Then I simulated a battery pull by pressing the power button with both volume up and down buttons simultaneously and then it entered a bootloop I think (it was showing the A3 blah blah blah things and this: KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and Set Warranty Bit : kernel in the top corner). Any help, please?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] vayavalla:
Don't install su
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] musicdoge:
I didn't install SU from TWRP (I am aware of this). Or do you mean not installing it at all?

Also, could you help me getting away with this situation and install this?

EDIT: I actually have TWRP 3.0.0-0
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] musicdoge:
Bootloop

So, I realized that the AROMA installer interface appears transparent (you can't see anything, only what is writing at the top of the screen). Finally I installed it (knew the interface), but now it entered a bootloop. Does it have to be a confirm message in the AROMA interface?

EDIT: it boots into the OS loading but after that it reboots and enters a bootloop.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Kornspeicher:
Boot back to twrp,(make sure its at least version 3.0.2) -> wipe-> advanced wipe-> cache,data,dalvik,system.

install the rom without gapps .

Reboot to system, complete the initial setup , wait for about 5 mins and reboot back to recovery via Power+Home+VolUp. (Dont reboot to recovery via the reboot menu, you may get stuck in recovery.)

Flash gapps, wipe cache and reboot.

ROM should now be working, atleast that way it worked for me.

Thank you all for your help! I will tell you the results tomorrow. Also, from these operations, will I get USB OTG support? And if not, can you help me or guide me to another thread or something which will help me getting OTG support? This was one of the reasons I started this.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] g0didit:
I did not install GApps... U must allow first boot to finish... takes long time... (Mine is A300-FU also) i was at latest stock ROM before installing this ROM.

Do a clean install!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] musicdoge:
Thank you all for your help! I installed both OS and Gapps with TWRP 3.1.1-0 (found it somewhere on the forum). It works like a charm! And now i have physical keyboard support, the feature for which I wanted a custom ROM! Also, is there any risk of using USB mass storage? I am asking this because I think Samsung had a reason for not making OTG support for this device.

Normal USB Sticks (and maybe 2,5" hard drives) can be used without issues.

In my experience, usb devices that take too much power simply wont be recognized by the system.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] musicdoge:
I think I have now an overclocked CPU. Is this normal? For now I don't have any problems, but I am a little worried. Will the phone cooling system hold this, let me say, slight overclock of 0.2GHz? I am used with PC overclocking but not with phone overclocking, this is why I am asking this.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] creisey:
i have just upgraded to 7.1.2 from 7.1.1 its overall less snappy and stutters more on every single task. i hope this will be fixed in a furter version. a300f.

nfc is always disabled after reboot. cheers
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] prototype74:
It's actually not overclocked. Our SoC (MSM8916) supports CPU frequency up to 1401MHz according to Qualcomm. [MENTION=7315425]vl_w[/MENTION] just unlocked this frequency.

Samsung locked our SoC down to 1190MHz in stock ROMs due battery consumption.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] musicdoge:
Interesting... Is it me or it seems like Sasung is unable to optimize battery usage? I am saying this because now a full charge lasts much longer than on stock OS.

Also, I don't have speed problems in 7.1.2. It simply works awesome! Maybe it happens only on A300F (I have A300FU)?

One more thing: looks like apps which have names with special characters at the beginning of their name are put at the end of the list, taking as sort the second character (in my case, uTorrent, appears at T after Z). And if I use the fast scrolling bar atthe bottom (or however it is called) l, the T from uTorrent (the one at the end of the bar) scrools the list to the first T. See the screenshot to understand better.

I would not expect that as we are waiting for update for almost 5 months now like for God's blessing. There were few comments that something is going to be fixed next update but no update is coming, no estimation either. Moreover there was a comment that developer is not even owner of a300xx.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] g0didit:
Btw, developer didnt loged in XDA for 1 month, so prediction is not good for update.

Very bad question! A stable 14.1 is much better than to drop it in beta state and starting a new project with LOS 15. This will be dropped one year later in beta state when LOS 16 starts. So you will never get a stable software.:rolleyes:

Has anyone noticed the much better audio output through the headphonejack? And I don't mean using the audio fx app only. Compared to this, in stock rom sound is waay worse. Why is this?

If you just installed the rom, enable nfc and wifi and reboot 1-2 times. Make sure that nfc is still enabled after reboot, as it sometimes gets disabled.

Check if your device fails to enter deep sleep via Kernel Adiutor.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] musicdoge:
Strange. I charge the phone every other day. Try a clean install if you didn't already (format system, data cache). Don't install gapps exactly after thr OS, boot the phone, do the initial setup, activate NFC, deactivate Android Beam, wait for 5 minutes, then boot back in TWRP and install gapps (if you want). I used OpenGapps mini. Reboot, wait for Android optimization and check then if the NFC is active. After that, try L Speed. Set all the tweaks which are battery efficient (check their description) and then activate Battery Saver fron settings. This is how it worked for me and my battery lasts for 1-2 days. I play games, but only light ones (check InstLife). Hopefully I helped you!

I've done whatever says in post #1 as follow:

* Steps for a Clean Install:

1) Put the .zip file in Internal or External Storage.

2) Reboot in Recovery Mode (Using TWRP/CWM Recovery)

3) Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache and format /System

4) Install the ROM.

5) Flash the Google Apps.

6) Reboot and Enjoy!

but when I'm going to do 4, it sent an error and installation fail. Error is about md5 file in zip file of the rom that was missed.

So - as you are using Amplify, what steps did you take to get xposed on this ROM - I know it is in theory possible, I just haven't worked out the steps yet.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] maujogador:
First you install the xposed installer app, then you just have to go and install the systemless framework. See imgur.com/sHOwKx8 (can't properly attach till I have 10 posts)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Eserim:

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Eserim:
Do you have Magisk as well? = Or rather (as i've now switched to Magisk) have you got it passing the CTS check, so you can use Google Pay? Or is that always going to be impossible with this custom ROM?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] g0didit:
Reboot phone, after phone boots go directly in settings and u will be able to turn on NFC switch, leave it enabled and batt probs are gone.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] maujogador:
LineageOS team official stance is to not bypass the integrity checks of the safety net so no, you won't be able to use android pay. Although there is indeed a xposed module that allows you to pass the CTS profile check, but that is still not enough.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] gomaaz:
I wasn't able to toggle NFC as mentioned before.

I fixed it by myself now. I guess I didn't wiped correctly. I also didn't boot up between flashing Lineage and Gapps...

I summarize it for you again

1. boot into twrp (dalvik/cache/system/data/storage (yes, this time deleted the storage: Don't know if this was necessary)

2. flashed LOS Zip

3. boot up and ran through the setup until homescreen (also tested NFC status, leaved it active)

4. rebooted into TWRP again

5. flashed gapps nano package

6. reboot

betterbatterystats shows up that the device goes mainly into deepsleep when the display is off :)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] drnightshadow:
Yap if you would read all post you would see my post and many others.. And here we go again...

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING DO BACKUP !!!!

CHECK IF YOU ARE ON LATEST STOCK ROM !!!!

DELETE ALL INCLUDING STORAGE (LEFTOVERS FROM PREVIOUS ROM),

DO FLASH ROM FIRST,

FINISH WIZARD WAIT 5 MIN

THAN FLASH GAPPS.

TURN ON NFC...

AND YOUR DONE...

as you wrote up :good:

And don't read this as usual and continue crying wifi and NFC not working and apps crashes, low battery life, yada yada... :cyclops:
