Following on, from what I read and tips and tricks etc. I tried again.

I downloaded this modded YouTube APK: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-iytbp-injected-youtube-background-t3560900

I navigated to data/devbase/system/app, created a directory called YouTube then I placed the modded APK there. Changed permissions for APK to 644 and directory to 755. Rebooted... From what I understand - this should replace the YouTube app without me needing to do anything more? Because it doesn't seem to work for me. It's still loading the actual system app that doesn't have background playback enabled.

I have a few things to replace for example, the live wallpaper picker that comes with S7 firmware does not allow the wallpapers to be applied to Lock Screen. Suppose they're trying to push themes in their store or something, I don't know - bizarre choice. So I need to use the default live wallpaper picker APK (https://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/themes/app-7-0-live-wallpaper-picker-home-lock-t3503347) but if I can't get YouTube to work I don't have a chance finding and replacing this one.

Where am I going wrong? :(

Hi, I don't know anything about devbase or so, but I installed v4.1 with wipe all data before and I have now a clean updated ROM, from this I start to install new and favorite apps, none of them don't install but I pushed it manualy in /system and all works great. I tried most s8+ port roms out here and few base s7e roms but always return to my backup stock, now my backup stok will be for a long time this superb ROM.

So, this is the best clean ROM I've seen around here, untouched, fast, battery powered, a nice base to start, and most important to me, up to date.

Thank you dev, and hope you will continue to update ROM constantly, you are the best. Thank you very mutch.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] _alexndr:
No problem here (see screenshots). I tested it in 2 scenarios and in both cases it worked like a charm:

1. SYSTEM mode:

- created directory /system/priv-app/AppLock

- copied AppLock.apk to /system/priv-app/AppLock (NOT this one from the ZIP but this one separately downloaded from above mentioned thread)

- copied feature.xml to /system/csc

- rebooted

NOTE: In this scenario you will nedd to ro repeat all steps every new DevBase will be released

2. SYSTEMLESS mode:

NOTE: According to "Tips & tricks" - there is no possibility to systemlessly replace an app which does not exists physically in /system, so I chose the most unnecessary application as object to replace -> /system/priv-app/KLMSAgent (it is KNOX related app)

- created directory /data/devbase/system/priv-app/KLMSAgent

- copied AppLock.apk to /data/devbase/system/priv-app/KLMSAgent and renamed it to KLMSAgent.apk

- added following line to /data/devbase/csc/others.xml:

<CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigSubFeatures>roguepopup|autoclean|autorestart|applock|applicationpermission</CscFeature_SmartManager_ConfigSubFeatures>

- rebooted

NOTE: In this scenario there is no need to repeat these steps - AppLock & necessary CscFeature string will remain even after you install a new DevBase (at least I have such plan in the next version - it will NOT touch existing others.xml placed in /data/devbase directory)

Most probably there is an updated app which exist in /data/app and this app is used. Apps pre-installed to /system/(priv-)app are used only until you will update these apps from the PlayStore
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] usersean:
Thanks for the reply. The YouTube app had previously auto updated. Which file manager are you using to create your permissions etc.? Could that be the problem I'm having? I uninstalled all updates to the YouTube app and wiped data - rebooted but it still loads the old app. As far as I can see the modified APK is in the correct place with correct permissions... I don't understand what I am doing wrong here. Something to do with my launcher? Editor?

Trying the AppLock one now... Just followed your method for AppLock, replacing KLMSAgent and rebooted. When I opened the settings app the AppLock was there - but when i click on it - hangs for about 5-10 seconds - then force closes.

Have I installed the entire ROM incorrectly? Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] _alexndr:
By wiping /data (without re-flashing the ROM) you removed post-fs-data boot script (in case of Magisk it is placed in /magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d and is named 0000000devbase. All files placed in /magisk are placed in fact in /data/magisk.img which is also deleted by wipe. It might be the main reason why systemless features do not work for you

If you just wiped data - easiest way is to reinstall the ROM or... at least Magisk + SYSTEMLESS DevBase separately (in such order).

The easiest way to check if systemless features work as they should is checking build version (it should start with "ALEXNDR.****") and/or checking KNOX status in PhoneINFO app (should be "fake" KNOX 0x0 status)

EDIT: I usually use Root Explorer to change permissions but in case of apks placed in system - they should work even with wrong permissions
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] usersean:
Hmm. My build definitely starts with ALEXANDR.... I removed the PhoneInfo app. Regret.

When I say I wiped the data I mean I wiped the data and cache of the YouTube app. Something isn't right though since my applock doesn't want to work either.

So my solution is to reinstall the entire thing? I did that yesterday and had same problems. This is kind of a fresh installation... I must be doing something wrong in the ROM install procedure?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] _alexndr:
As I was not able to re-produce your issue and everything works fine here - clean install seems to be the only solution:

1. Perform wipe data/factory reset from TWRP

2. Install DevBase with default settings (recommended)

3. Perform initial config, accounts etc..

4. Perform steps described in post #70 (maybe first try with SYSTEM scenario as it is the most predictable scenario (least possible mistakes to commit)

If it will work - then remove /system/csc/feature.xml, remove /system/priv-app/AppLock directory and then play with systemless scenaio

NOTE: Case does matter of

app's directory name

(so in systemless scenario: /data/devbase/system/priv-app/

KLMSAgent

/[whatever].apk)

NOTE2: I have attached exact app which worked for me, to avoid misunderstanding (it comes from the thread you mentioned before)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] usersean:
Am I to install this entirely from scratch using the zip provided in post #1 making no modifications to the zip? Am I not to open any apps that I intend on replacing until they are replaced..? Or should I be installing that zip - then installing something else on top of that that I may have been missing? I've fresh installed this a few times now so I don't know what is going wrong. The AppLock you replaced on yours open from the settings menu or somewhere else? Mine just crashes everytime. I'll try one more install lol, it's the best ROM i found so far.. Just need to be able to get my apps working lol.

I just want a fresh install on the go, get stock live wallpaper working, get app lock working and get my background youtube apk working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] _alexndr:
AppLock just appeared and worked immediately after reboot :) in both scenarios! no special steps!

It would be much better to perform all steps manually instead installing ZIP - especially that apk file inside the ZIP does not work and need to be replaced by the attached apk anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] usersean:
I mean to start entirely from scratch, fresh ROM kind of thing. I will not work for me lol. Gonna try from scratch again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] _alexndr:
Of course! I recommended you to install AppLock manually AFTER you perform clean install (from the scratch). I was referring only to the AppLock installation procedure :D good lock! It MUST work!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] usersean:
I *seem* to have it working... But I didn't login to anything, literally touched nothing before I modded all the stuff. So everything works so far. But now I need to know what has broken it previous installations so it doesn't happen again.

I would usually boot, login to google, install solid explorer and install adaway (Did it differently this time, used MoAdB thing you linked before, works good.) then terminal so I can change the DPI of the device - enable magisk busybox (didn't do that this time) and install app systemizer to make actionlauncher a system app.

How would I go about manually adding Action Launcher as a SYSTEM app into this rom after first installing the original from Play Store?

It's amazing now I have it working.. But I'm afraid to proceed with all customisations in case I break it again lol. Could enabling the Magisk hide do anything to mess with this? Or installing mods within Magisk to make Action Launcher a system app? Also what would happen if the play store were to automatically update youtube app?

Cheers for all the help!

EDIT: Figured out what is killing it off. Installing the Magisk module AppSystemizer seems to break the devbase completely. So now I just need a method to make an make a user app to a system app. If the YouTube app updates from the PlayStore it will break the app replacement and just load the new version. Uninstalling the update and rebooting seemed to fix that. Uninstalling Systemizer module did not seem to help and DevBase remains broken. So - I'm going to reinstall - and now I know what is causing it (hopefully) - I shall report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] usersean:
Reporting back, everything is up and running amazing. I've done all of my customisations etc. and can confirm that it was the Magisk module i was using to make Action Launcher a system app. It was called App Systemizer - so avoid that to maintain devbase functionality.

Excellent, clean and smooth ROM and is a very clever method of modifying the system. Really enjoying it, must thank you for your continued patience and support.

Now i just need to make Action Launcher a system app without breaking everything again lol. Do you have a recommended method for converting a user app to system?

Cheers for everything.

Edit: Can also confirm the link you posted regarding fixing the toast alignment actually worked as well. I simply added the new line to the devbase build.prop and rebooted. Everything fine on the toast front now as well :)

What are the steps required to flash this over a stock Oreo and keep/enable encryption?

I've followed these steps:

- Flashed stock Oreo firmware "G935FXXU2EREM" and then enabled "OEM unlock"

- Flashed TWRP 3.2.1.1, then boot to it.

- Flashed G935FXXU2EREM_DevBase_v5.8 (tried it once with "_encrypt", then repeated the process from step 1 and tried it without)

Since the latest build, I have a problem: I can't take or start phonecalls. If I dial any number, I get instantly "call ended" in den left upper corner with a "beep" sound. If I get called, the caller receives the "...is not reachable at this moment"-message and I instantly get a SMS, that someone tried to call me. LTE and SMS work with no problem, only phonecalls aren't possible. I think my IMEI works good since I am able to have mobile internet and SMS.

What I tried: reflash the rom, reflash the rom with "DBT_..." (for I live in Germany), flash only the CSC via TKKG1994s CSC selection (only got me a lot of bloatware)...

Any ideas to help me? Thanks in advance.

I just want to have the same, as yours :D ( to get the cleanest roms as usual :) ) Thank you again for your great work. Greetings from Bulgaria :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] 10thDmenxn:
I like this rom's performance. And battery life is decent, but not great. If I am to give an HONEST review of my experiences with it, I would say the following.

This rom is plenty quick and smooth, with decent battery life. But I would never use it long term, as it has no rom control app. I hate not being able to control things like high volume warnings, brightness warnings, the color, placement, shape and sizes of status bar icons, and all of the colors of everything in the Quick Toggles and Notification screen. The thing that makes Android great, is the ability to customize everything, so your phone can TRULY be Uniquely yours. By NOT having these options, this rom rob's us of many of these functions and abilities. So it's cool for a brief test, but not for long term, unless you are a true minimalist. And why would you put out almost a grand on a device to make it minimal?????

Hi,

what are you beefing about??? Yes, this ROM is fast, smooth and stable and almost Stock Oreo. You can pimp it up with Xposed and many, many other Apps.

Take a ROM with all your wishes and you are a happy User.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] 10thDmenxn:
I wasn't beefing at all. I was simply reviewing. I granted the speed and smoothness of this rom, with decent battery life. But as soon as you load xposed, performance goes to crap. Xposed has always been a performance killer. So it defeats the purpose. I prefer roms where the dev makes a rom control app specifically for that rom, so you can change anything you like to fit your style. And for those who don't want that, most of those roms include an option in aroma to load it or not. Finally, at the very least, I hate getting the volume warning, the brightness warning and having to type in my password after a restart, instead of just being able to use my fingerprint like most other custom roms. Those are some pretty basic things that are left out of this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] RanToyak:
This rom is Pure Stock, light odex debloated rom. Most mods requires an deodex rom which will degrade performance. If u want all those mods u can try other roms such as tgp rom or civz rom. Alexandr roms is unique he knows what he wants and what his long time users want. There are always other roms to pick in xda. Don't demand something from the devs. They do it for free. So be appreciative.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] yorkberliner:
Hi,

Xposed was only an example. When you need a Custom Rom with ROMControl so take BATMAM-Rom 1.5. There are a lot of settings and no Batterydrain. After a Restart i need no Password. You can change it in Settings if you need a Password or not. So have fun with your new Custom Rom.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] 10thDmenxn:
First, since you are giving out advise, let me respond in kind. Learn to read what others write, not what you prefer to perceive. Nowhere in my post did I demand anything. I merely reviewed the rom, and gave MY opinion. An opinion I fully have a right to. If you don't like others voicing their opinions, then don't read them. But at the very least, do NOT accuse them of writing something they didn't, as it makes you look foolish. I gave the rom it's due. I said it was fast and smooth. But I prefer to be able to customize everything possible in a custom rom. That is why I got an Android to begin with. It makes no sense to me to spend this much money on a device, just to strip it bare bones with little control over it. That's my side of things. For those who have a different side, good for them. I don't get angry at them for liking something different than me. And you might learn that lesson as well. Hope this helps.

I used Batman rom for a very long time. However, it is a Nougat rom, not an Oreo rom, so that would defeat the point, wouldn't it? I'm only interested in Oreo roms for the moment. In any case, I am just biding my time while Luca updates Superman rom to Oreo. Thanks for the reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] fusionstream:
Coming from stock Android 6.0 straight to this (love ALEXNDR's devbase ROMs), there are a number of crashes, even from non stock apps which is unusual for me. Captive portal does not work (crashes on start). Battery life when screen is off is excellent (battery saver working properly compared to stock 6.0) but is a bit of a disappointment when screen is on (battery mode is the default) but is still usable. For some reason, systemless xposed (installed separately) required 2-3 reboots to work. Not exactly ROM related but just saying in case anyone comes across this. Just had my first random reboot yesterday after about a week of using it. Play store crashes fairly often and sometimes it will always crash when searching (using search box) for apps. Play, Play service, and various other bits of Google Play/Samsung Game apps will randomly crash when entering or exiting a game for some reason.
