Here is the link to the VM stock build i made https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bz99NuhE3XwmajBNY0IyZ2FFWkk

Also if others are interested in using magisk- flash the newest magisk build with the stock rom and place the newest magisk apk on your sd card and it should patch your boot.img to get magisk daemon working... the boot.img is in the stock zip, place that on your sd as well if you need it.... Until i figure out what is making the VM custom build in that folder not boot,I am hesitant to try another virgin build. However, [MENTION=8293730]SonderTech[/MENTION] is really good at this stuff and he said he'd make a magisk custom build ?... I lost my internet service today since I've been sick and hoping and praying i can pay to turn it back on...til then all i can do is watch because i cant upload or download really anything on my phone, had to do the 35 bucks a month for 3 gigs... so that doesn't help me too much. Thank you all for your encouragement and support, im working on getting up and running financially but that's REALLY tough right now the pneumonia is still kicking my a$$...
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I also uploaded a bunch of stuff including the magisk 14.3 beta to try and also the latest magisk manager and phh superuser to the community folder check it out and add or take what you need ? its all can do with mobile data ?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
Dude. I tested sammobile website link and use them frequently. The latest firmware build is posted. And the download works. You need to make a sammobile account to download. In case you don't know how to read well maybe a screenshot of the download starting can convince you.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Max Frost:
Hey Curtis , did you try the Jinzo fix ? Just wondering if it made any difference on the carrier id or data ?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I uploaded the modem and apnlos files to the community folder, it's likely you can flash them in odin or twrp to restore service
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
No have not tried it yet. I have been busy modding tw launcher with apktool x. You can also deodex with it as well but it isn't an automated process. Trying to give a cleaner look to the launcher and get the way oversized dimensions of the icons down to something respectable. But so far my changes don't seem to be sticking. I am going to deodex the launcher and then decompile it again and do another edit without the odex files being an issue and see if I get the desired results.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
I'm now in the process of making the magisk rom. I will upload it to the community folder when I'm finished.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Awesome! Good looking out [MENTION=8293730]SonderTech[/MENTION] ?? Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
I've uploaded the magisk build now. Can someone test it and report back? You will have to reboot after you flash and set up the rom to get magisk to kick in.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PiggyFlooper:
Thanks for doing this, can you provide steps in order to achieving Magisk root, I've read through much of that thread.

Reading through the changelogs, as to what changes implementing are to and fro, and I think now phh superuser is recommended. I think the main focus is to hide root from apps so they're useable.

An unmodified boot.img is required for Magisk to do it's magic.

Which version of Magisk are you planning to use? Which one seems best as far as our device is concerned- older versions had compatibility with SuperSU.

Just throwing some things out there

Edit- is it possible to de-knox device when first booting into twrp
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
All of our roms are deknoxed by default, ill make a build w phh superuser this weekend so we can try it but I'd consider that a beta for now. im about to try [MENTION=8293730]SonderTech[/MENTION] magisk build as well he's been a huge help!! First flash the rom in twrp and set up android till you get to your app drawer open magisk manager and use the boot.img from the build we are testing, just unzip it on your pc and place it at the root of your sd card and magisk manager will patch it and allow you root. If you get stuck or can take a logcat if it doesn't boot that is almost essential though and thank you in advance for testing and being a part! Let us know what happens ☺️
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Well, you were very close with the boot.img. Before I made the magisk build for my phone, I tested it with my tablet, the smt817t, and I just made the ROM flashed in TWRP and booted it up, then I set it up, and then I rebooted,and to my surprise magisk manager installed properly along with root. I always use the most recent version of magisk. [MENTION=5483848]PiggyFlooper[/MENTION] [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION]

Here are the small files we spoke about in private message. Included readme. Google giving me upload errors upon logging in for public upload. Upload stalling out.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PiggyFlooper:
Can you get up/download speeds on status bar thru editing smali's, just wondering, that'd be an awesome addition

Edit- I'm having trouble copying the boot.img from VIRGINMOBILESTOCKAPL1NOV.zip to Windows - error 0x80004005 unspecified error

Also can't copy to another folder on sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
What's smali
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Who is Justin Allender???!!!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
Smali are files that contain code that tell the OS how to carry out certain functions. They are only accessible after they are decompiled from sources like compiled apks and jar files and in odexed roms they are contained in the particular files odex file with same name. I edited the ones contained in the zip previously posted from a decompiled services.odex in our rom using apktool x. I would have recompiled and tested it myself after edit but apktool x isn't recompiling the odex as it states it is. It just leaves the files as they are. In the folder not recompiled to new .odex file. I asked Sands207 for help getting them recompiled properly.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Oh ok.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
It should be possible. I have not gotten that far along yet. Although you can use Gravitybox to get it until some these additions can be added to stock.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

Basically the edits I made should give our rom an advanced power menu without the need to use xposed modules. Got hung up with apktool x not recompiling the services.odex. I am positive it is due to step being missed by me on how to handle the odex files of jars versus apks with the tool. Or it could be the android version doesn't handle things the same as pc version or hasn't progressed to that stage.

Hey I will no longer be able to mess around with this I upgraded to a Moto e4 yesterday but I wish all of you the best of luck
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
Sounds like a lot of work is happening right now! I'm so hyped! Can't wait for Lineage when you guys get to it!

Thank you to all who are helping with this!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PiggyFlooper:
Will you please point me towards the community folder, and the V.M. version u mentioned in pm that [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION] posted

Edit - sorry, I just checked op
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Check the op, the only difference is his VM version as far as I know is SuperSU and the community folder is also in the op under j3 ROM team folder, if you are looking for the magisk build folder, which is where my magisk roms are going then there is a link in the op that sends you there as well. ?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SammaelAkuma:
I second this. \o/
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
So is there an update on what we still lack before a port of lineage? Last I heard, device tree was almost done. Not sure what else is need as I've never ported a rom (however, I want to one day)

Sorry to constantly ask.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PiggyFlooper:
Cool, I checked 'em out, saw your boost Rom, waiting for V.M. if possible. I keep getting corrupt downloads of VIRGINMOBILESTOCKAPL1NOV.zip - 1.5GB and VMJ3APL1CUSTOMNOV..zip - 641MB and can't unzip them.

Plus I can't download anything from Drive in community folder [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION] will ya please fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
You should be able to download.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
I have ported many roms. Of all types,converted gsm to cdma and vice versa,have customized various LG roms also. All take time to debug. Building a rom from source can take even longer than those mentioned above for various reasons including personal ones. Most working on roms whether it's customizing a stock build,porting from another device,and actually building from source refuse to put a time frame on it. Mainly because time estimations put unwanted pressure to produce something...which usually is buggy...and seriously takes the fun out of it for those working on these various things. If Lineage is to be. It will come in time.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
Alright I understand. Any idea what's left to be done? Or would you rather not say? I'll wait either way
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
Last I read this was something Sands207 was working on and like you have no more info than that. I in fact do believe he is. And just leave it at that as far as my curiosity goes. I do however understand your DESIRE for it to happen lol. Nothing cures a flashers addiction than a fresh hit of rom goodness lmao
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
Accurate. I don't know why but I love flashing new things and doing cool things with my stuff like making it do stuff it's not originally intended for lol. I'll just have to wait.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
Same here lol. I am always tinkering. I actually soft bricked three times today testing smali edits for things I personally want in my stock rom. Not having proper results. I do not think apktool mobile nor apktool x are up to the task as pc methods. Also much of the mod sources are flaky at best.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
I'd like to eventually have my own version of stock android but that's a ways away lol
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PiggyFlooper:
[MENTION=5263063]Curtis1973[/MENTION], I remember you being around on HTC Evo 3D threads, when I made a Rom for it, I had to edit a certain framework .xml to make a sprint Rom compatible to Virgin Mobile, is this still the case?

I just had bad dl's, the Roms that are up are recovery flashable. Thanks guys for all your work
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
It depends really on the device type and What android build as to what you'll need to edit to get things going carrier wise. As for our current device,I found quite by accident that if you edit in your own custom carrier text that instantly upon reboot you'll be using the Sprint version and not your carrier version. Data and calls won't work. But if you edit back to original csc settings you'll instantly be right back on your carrier build. It was chameleon.xml in carrier folder or it may have been features.xml in system/csc. Can't remember which. I think a better way would be to make carrier text custom via smali edits or decompiling systemui apk and do it from xml there. As for flashable apns,that's a possible means as well except if you end up on the Sprint variant the apn fix won't resolve the visual voicemail app being Sprint nor the addition of Sprint zone. You could probably just replace the voicemail app and be fine. But if I recall you can't delete the Sprint zone app without issues on Sprint rom when you can the virgin equivalent on virgin rom. Samsung rims are convoluted to a point. Not like stock aosp,htc,and even LG roms which are also way over bloated with useless cheap lol
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PiggyFlooper:
So are you saying to flash the sprint Rom and then with Odin flash just the csc portion of V.M.'s stock Rom?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
No. Not saying any of that will work. In fact I have stayed on my stock virgin build. And modified it to my liking then made backup. I suggest only flashing your current build firmware to avoid issues. Until there is a verified stable version. I just stick with my current stock build. I by the way am not actively doing much of anything with this device. I am for once pretty much using others stuff. It's a nice break for me.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
Can u make a magisk for Virgin Mobile?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
I can, I just need the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
There should be a stock version in the op I believe
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Is it the same one that you use to go back to stock in Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
From when I tried its a complete stock that can be flashed via twrp
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Could you go to sammobile and flash the qf4 update through Odin so I can do the magisk version without problems? [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION] was thinking of moving the ROMs over to the qf4 build.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
When I get a chance I'll try to
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Awesome, just pm me when your done.?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
OK will do
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
Yeah the qf4 version would bring everyone on virgin side up to current build. As is the roms built off of older firmware kill data all except roaming 1G no matter if you flash the apn fix or not. Even restoring the qf4 modem has no effect. And the virgin custom build has no launcher
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
What about root? That's why I've not updated. Don't want to lose root or twrp
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Curtis, do you have a preferred launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Also this is being considered https://www.xda-developers.com/how-project-treble-revolutionizes-custom-roms-android-oreo/
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
I use nova launcher
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PiggyFlooper:
How can I do that for ya?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
Just flash qf4 only and you should be fine.

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

Go to sammobile and flash the qf4 firmware and I'll do the magisk rooted build with the qf4 as the base
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
Nova launcher along with gravitybox,xposed,s8 icons,xperia weather (or asus weather..both are good) and Samsung high contrast theme will get you this set up.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
My device came with QF4 out of the box. I just used Ashyx guide for twrp and root. Worked fine for me. I had no issues rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
So if I flash qf4, I shouldn't loose twrp and can then reflash SuperSU?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
No the firmware will wipe everything. Enter download mode on device,plug in to pc,start Odin and flash the firmware. Let it boot up completely and do the provisioning of your device services then you can boot back in to Odin and flash twrp then boot in to twrp and flash supersu.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
Aww man.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
lol it's not that bad I promise. Here's my screen of my build. You won't lose ability to twrp and root.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Curtis1973:
For anyone wondering about the soft nav set up in screen,you can add it in gravitybox. I use it like a multi tool to launch reboot menu without key press,launch multiple apps from app launcher and use the reassigned nav keys to perform other functions while still retaining actual hard keys as they are. Pretty handy.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
The stock rom shouldn't wipe any of your data.

It depends on which CSC is flashed.

Leaving the CSC out completely will prevent data being wiped.

Iirc flashing HOME_CSC shouldn't wipe your device, let someone confirm that.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] zixxorb:
So if I flash qf4, I might be able to keep twrp and such?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ashyx:
You will keep data but lose TWRP and root.

You will have to reinstall both afterwards.

On a J3 that's not rooted yet should we take the latest Samsung update to AQF4 or not take it ? Just wondering if it could axe being able to root or install this rom . What do you think [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION]

2.Yes it does. I built Aroma installer to include the patch on setup.

3.I did a system dump as a temporary base initially for alpha and beta and switched to stock firmware from sam mobile and the odin restore firmware on xda for the final version as wifi kept breaking, I fixed that yesterday. It's taken a few tries to get right. I know how to build from source using linux but did not have to in this case, hope this helps. If you get stuck let me know ?
