Sandsz the grace apks such as weather, weather widget and caulator I Uninstall with titanium backup and upon reboot they keep coming back the funny thing is when I was on ARK1 stock I had the same issue with the Samsung bloat ware Hanson viewer something like that it just would always come back after reboot i already built up the phone the way I wanted it so I just froze them so they wouldn't come up in the app draw however for new people installing the rom they could unzip the zip take out the apps they don't want and zip the rom back up example like people that don't want su and install magisk instead
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
or as an alternative, use root file browser and look in /system/apps or /system/priv-apps and delete bloatware. Be careful cherry picking apps out though, some we need for the device to function properly. anything marked GRACE can go.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
Root Explorer says apks failed to delete from the system... It's okay everything can't be perfect.. I just froze them so it's like they not there next time I decompile the zip and take out everything I want first hand before I flash in twrp
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Root Browser i meant but im glad you are up and running ?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:

Since you retired you not moddin the newest firmware bulid for sprint and boost J3 emerge devices... And if so who going to follow up on development for the bulid

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Sands your a developer why do you have ads in your apps...
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I'm running a vanilla build.. Only root access and that's it. No ad-away, xposed etc the only custom stuff on my phone is the twrp i have built by Curtis1973, I'll periodically push more builds out even in retirement but it will depend on my isp (im on a metered connection) and the demand and testers. I've been working on Android since it's first release so part of me will always try to keep up. I appreciate your support ✌️?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
Yeah I'm using that twrp bulid also the regular one got the mouse point on the UI
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Maurice9975:
Nvm. I fixed it. Thank you for trying to help.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
This op not getting anymore love... When is the newest bulid going to customized
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I'm on a metered internet connection at my house, i ran out of data and will have more when my plan rolls over in 11 days. I understand your anxious but my hands are tied. I'll push it through as soon as i have the data to download the firmware and upload the newest build. I blew through my 3.5 gb of boost data for the same reason, i feel like i live in the stone age out here
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
Sandz I be knowing that 35 dollar boost plan you can't go wrong with that [emoji19][emoji19][emoji19] I mean my daily driver runnin smoothly cause of you so take your time but the newest Firmware has the newest security patches right....

I cant wait to test the new build when its released keep up the good work
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] artician:
I did, and was in the middle of editing my post to rectify this when you replied, sorry for wasting your time. I'm just an idiot trying to find answers and I found myself faced with an unexpected time-limit.

If I'm able to secure my device with the provided ROM, I will happily help test on this device until someone builds LineageOS to it. Will this ROM allow me to rip out bloatware, install PrivacyGuard, and get rid of Google's applications?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
First provide more info, what carrier are you using? And what firmware do you currently have? As far as lineage goes im in early talks with another dev to create a current device tree and in early September ill begin work on lineage OS but i give no etas ill finish when i have enough time as I'm volunteering my time to do this as it is
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] artician:
I'm not rushing you, or meaning to pressure. Your time is really appreciated.

I'm running stock firmware on Sprints j327p. I won't even power the thing on unless I can control it, and unfortunately, prompted by other user questions, I learned privacy guard is only available as a component of CyanogenMod/LineageOS, which just means this things going back to the store.

Thank you for all you do for the community though, and for taking the time to answer my questions about it. I, and I'm sure many others, really do appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Ljseegar:
Is there any way you can set selinux to permissive by default in the next build for some reason i cant get the selinux status to change to permissive even with the app you provided the link for
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I can try.

You need a permissive kernel. I can upload my custom kernel I built for TWRP, but dont know if it will boot this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I can certainly try to repack and build with it. It can't hurt to try as long as you don't mind [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] ill be in my lab all day tommorow hopefully as long as I'm feeling better im still on bed rest right now though is there anyway you could upload the kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Just wondering if people want xposed pre installed and do people want a magisk build?? I will say i tried and used magisk for a week on mine but i was still limited in what i use my phone daily for which is you guessed it... testing new stuff ?. The new Supersu aroma conf setup gives us the option to set SELINUX to permissive among them also we can disable dm-verity and systemless options etc by default im using a build with it now but i am also testing the SELINUX app by [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION] and it does work on mine, it sets it to permissive after boot so it gets around having a permissive kernel per say.. I just want to make a good all around rom for all of us and i appreciate the feedback. I'm don't mind being the guinea pig and flashing first and i have ???. I apologize for the people that had issues with my early builds but the firmware files confused me hopefully we are sorted out. Anyway monday night ill upload my new builds to their carrier folders, ill also include useful files in the sprint virgin and boost folders to help you along if i can. Enjoy and please do let me know if you face issues let's make all three carriers work flawlessly?step up if your cool with testing especially w magisk i need more feedback and a good themer or recommendations for our theme
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Ljseegar:
I dont mind testing and reporting the issues for the sprint side of things and providing logcats thanks for all of your hard work especially for helping us free our phones [MENTION=6085001]Sands207[/MENTION] [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Ljseegar:
Just a quick suggestion couldnt you have a tick box in the aroma installer to allow people to have exposed if they wanted it or not?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I can add it to the installer yes, but not everyone wants xposed so thats a good suggestion. *edit* im going to completely revamp aroma installer to suit our current needs so folks will have ALOT of choices on this next update ?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
I could do the testing with magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Ibuprophen:

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:

Hey bro on update.to you can find firmware that you looking for
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I realize that! I'm out of data for at least 10 more days i will have to wait till my isp rolls my data over

ARC1 Soak - cannot mount /data

Hi all,

I sent this same question to Sands207 on a different forum. Anyway, my phone was originally ARC1. So, I rooted it and loaded the soak of ARC1 provided last month. However, in TWRP I am seeing that I cannot mount /data. I'm thinking I did something wrong. I went back and did a format of /data and then reloaded the soak zip. But, it still says that partition cannot be mounted. Assuming I missed a step somewhere...?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
flash your zip then format data by typing YES and then reboot recovery, flash anything else you want then reboot system and you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
Or flash the remove force encryption zip.... Flash the remove force encryption zip and then flash your root situation don't flash root solution first then force encryption or else you will lose your root
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
can you upload that patch for me?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] BrianN_Cols_OH:
Glad you mentioned the root - I had to flash the root again, but I think I've got it all working now. Thanks to both you and SANDS207!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
Resolved
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Scholeggo:
Hey Sands. I have a few questions?

Which build/patch has the latest Android version (and what version is it?)?

If it's not Oreo, do you have any way of incoporating this OTA zip for Oreo (on J327a) to be compatible with the J327p? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] strogen:
I got version AQJ3 on a Boost phone(AQJ3 is what the phone came with). I rooted the phone and it wont let me receive over the air updates. I don't see a rom for AQJ3 Boost here, is there one? If not what should I update to?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
As far as i know ARF2 is the newest ota patch for the sprint/boost/virgin/cricket variant and that is still at Marshmallow. Other carriers however do have nougat running on j327p, i don't remember which ones. As far as possibly making this oreo patch compatabile, i could take a crack at it but it would likely involve ALOT of work. What we need to do is compare hardware specs with j327A and see how much it matches up. I'd be willing to try, do me a favor and research both phones and post the results here. Thank you for pointing out the update.

Sandz for president
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I don't have a build made for that version atm. if you upgrade to a newer version, use odin to flash the updated firmware FIRST, then go through the usual process to do twrp and root. Then flash the corresponding ROM you want but also flash the dm verity patch by [MENTION=4899305]ashyx[/MENTION] after the rom, follow his directions for that process so you can use data. After that flash anything else you want and enjoy ?

Where is a good place to get the firmware? Right now I'm downloading AQL3 and it's 1.6 GB in size. Does that sound right?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
wow they are pretty close! I'm going to look deeper into this for us, if i attempt a build it will need to be tonight. I'll post back as soon as i can get more info on how to proceed and what may need to go where as far as file swaps go. Great find and thank you for your research ?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
updato works well for me, sammobile is ok too it just takes longer and yes that file size is correct. remember to enable usb debugging, oem unlock should already be enabled if you rooted already and go into download mode before using odin.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] strogen:
Can I downgrade my firmware to APL1? If so where can I get stock firmware for Boost?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298949899 just use caution downgrading that far, i can't promise what the result will be.. The_yankee also has a frp bypass boot.img tar hosted on AFH as well. use it if you get soft bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
I believe he won't be able to downgrade like that if he's on one of the newest bootloaders, Odin will always say failed
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
Sandz could you make a patch with newest security patch and we just flash it on are modified Sandz roms
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I could try.

edit: just checked. without the actual arf2 ota i cannot unless you can pull that and upload it or someone else can...

ota should be in /data/fota
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
So tonight I'm going to ATTEMPT to bring oreo to this device. IF i can get it to build (port) from j327a, do i have testers? i have alot of reading to do but if i can i can ill bring oreo to us before samsung ??? ill try my best j3 fam!!!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] HiR3x:
The hardware is not the same the j327P have snapdragon soc and the j327A have the Exynos 7570 soc

so its inposible to port the firmware but if anyone have a backup of the nugart version for the j327P i will try to port for the spring/bost
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
can we work together please? we've been at this awhile...
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
Sandsz bringing oreo to this device is it really possible
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
If you on AFR2 pull the data folder with the Ota that [MENTION=1244463]SANDZ[/MENTION] was talking about to if others on other bulids can obtain the newest security update
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
We're on ARG2 now for the latest. I am gonna try for running tests, Friday evening.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] PoochyX:
Really however what enhancements to that bulid could compare to the enhancements sands has put into are bulids the really important thing is extracting that security update and putting it on are modified bulids and in all reality is the security update really important the most of us are regular hobby individuals who use are phones for mediocre stuff and we just the smart ones who know to make that a smoother experience
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
Can those of you on ARG2 please use a root browser and navigate to /data/dota in system and upload it to me??? on google drive and ill make a flashable zip if i can but flashing this patch over my various builds could result in people losing data/wifi.... ill help with a nougat port again if i can. Curtis has apn fixes for the various builds, they apply to nougat as well as long as we have root.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] osbaldov:

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
While I haven't moved up to ARG2 just yet, I had checked the system/data folder and I couldn't find a dota folder, I did however find a fota folder but that one was empty.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
I wonder if system has to be unmounted in order for us to see the patch? like in twrp or midnight commander or nautilus as root?... maybe it can be pulled from the raw firmware itself as an alternative to get it?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] SonderTech:
I just checked in twrp and the fota folder is still empty regardless of mounting system and still no dota folder.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Sands207:
It seems to me a number of others have beaten me to it. A google search for your device yielded many results. I can try once more but it appears that my work is ON that website, im guessing it was taken from here. I'm not happy about that

I'm going to have to find a way to download the roms and check their updater-scripts, props etc because i leave a signature in my work and know where to find it.
