Yes, I finished the new rom version v3 (I updated the base from XANI4 to XAOE2), I will upload the rom soon.

Now I will try my best to get the advanced reboot menu working, so I can add that into the Aroma in then I will upload that aswell. (this might take long as this is new to me)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Ryank02:
New rom version is out! (Aroma is not finished yet, that will come later)

14-6-2018 •v3

Changes to rom :

- Apparantly the rom wasn't based on the latest firmware, so I rebased it from I8190XXANI4 to I8190XXAOE2

- Now the rom zip is 9mb lighter! (Because of new base)

Changes to Aroma addon (not finished yet, but this is probably what will change) :

- Remade the Aroma addon from the ground up, to fix all issues

- Added Google Maps v9.3 (Best version for our device)

Goed bezig ( Great going.)

Great to see the S3 mini is still alive and suported.

One thing i cant figure out is how to get microgaps intalled.

Its not as easy as opengaps.

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Ryank02:
I've done my best trying to make a advanced reboot mod, but I simply just cant get it to work, no matter how hard I try.

My phone always ends up bootlooping. So I think I just wont do that, and I recommend to use the terminal (type in su, then reboot recovery to boot in recovery) as that is a easy way too.

About the time that it takes to be finished, I am not sure, it could be this week, or next week, I really dont know.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Ryank02:
Do you want MicroG for modded YouTube or MicroG for the Play Store (which is not needed since the rom has Yalp Store built in, which has exactly the same apps as the Play Store does but it is way lighter)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] tomaasz:
For advanced reboot you could ask [MENTION=4394833]galaxy mini[/MENTION] who developed this in his great [ROM][4.1.2][STOCK]★★Stock_Light_v4
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Ryank02:
Good idea! I will ask him via pm, his last activity was yesterday (according to xda) so he's still out there.

Meanwhile, I will test the new Aroma, and make sure it all works, so I can add the advanced reboot mod to it later

basic S3mini Rom

Hello, I hope this isn't too far off topic

but I am looking for a light rom for an old S3 Mini I have. GT-i8190N android 4.1.2 rooted baseband I8190NXXANI1

I am trying to adapt it for use by my 90 year old mother who will only use it for calls and text messages as she is too old to do anything else, plus she has a prepaid Virgin media (UK) sim that lasts her all year with a £10 top up.

So I am trying to disable or uninstall everything that may use mobile data or confuse her.

I have been searching for a super basic debloated Rom that may facilitate this

as I have bought her So many basic phones with buttons that she keeps breaking or somehow finds awkward to use.

Any help would be appreciated, or even a redirect to a more appropriate thread.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Ryank02:
That is a very hard question.

I think that the best option is using the stock rom (with lots of unnecessary apps disabled) and a very, very basic and simple launcher.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Ryank02:
Im afraid its not going to happen, he was still replying to my messages 2 days ago, but since yesterday I'm not getting any replies anymore.

I will release the Aroma addon today or tomorrow, and then this rom is finished (final version), after that I'm going to work on a debloated rom for the Galaxy S9.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] pjb-ltown:
Ok but when installing for example the gmail app from the yalp store i get a message saying "this app won't work unless you enable Google Play services"

Is there any way to fix this?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Ryank02:
I will finish the aroma addon zip soon, and then you can flash that and use the Samsung Email app, which should support gmail aswell.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Ryank02:
I also found out that there's something wrong with the Package Installer in this rom since v3, so I will fix that, upload v3.1 and the addons and that will be the final version.

This will all happen today.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Ryank02:
Modwiz Rom v3.1 WITH ADDONS just got released!

18-6-2018 •v3.1

Changes to rom :

- The rom was missing the .odex file for Package Installer, which was causing issues with install apk's outside of the Yalp Store, now that is fixed.

Changes to Aroma addon :

- Remade the Aroma addon from the ground up, to start clean again and fix all issues

- Updated all system apps from the latest firmware

- Added Google Maps v9.3 (Make sure to install the apk from your internal storage after selecting it)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] zup51:
Thank you, it runs smoothly

Is it possible to sync contancts with Google?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Ryank02:
No, because the google services have been removed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kneekahliss:
hey everyone, so ive always at some point when time permitted ended up rooting and putting a custom rom on my phone. So im fairly familiar with unlocking boot loaders and rooting phones and so i started with my sm-g935v. Its terribly laggy and I just threw Oreo on my 2nd device a nexus 6 and its super fast. The lag is killing me. First i knew i had to root so I found a method using Odin flashing a CF root. Boom now when it boots it shows an unlocked lock and says custom. Great, moving on to installing a customer recovery like twrp im finding out no you cant because the bootloader is locked? is this true? is that icon just an indication i modified the system that and thats it. Anyway, reading more seems like this engineering root caused it to be even more laggy and if i turn on wifi forget it, super laggy.

I see some people doing modified stock roms that debloat but are still plague with lag from the root? Does this all add up correctly? Am i able to undo this CF root and just flash stock vzw back so it doesnt show custom when it boots? I was thinking of just trashing it and getting a pixel 2 but i like tinkering and definitely cant handle not finishing a job. This would be my first failed attempt at putting a custom rom on a phone.

TLDR: is it still true to this day i can only root but not unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and put say lineageos on my sm-935v ? the feels man...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] RXT00:
Yeah, it's very locked down. We can't unlock the bootloader and we can't root without lag...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ars18:
Hey guys. First post. Be nice. ?

I AM NOT A DEVELOPER. I FOUND THIS BY ACCIDENT.

I hated how my S7 Edge G935V worked with the engboot. So I stopped using the phone. Figured I'd play around with again and flashed the G935U firmware. After that I rooted by flashing the engboot thinking it may be smoother than on the g935v firmware. Obviously, I was disappointed. In a last ditch desperate attempt I flashed the stock BL file from the G935U firmware and lo and behold, it worked. I have NO LAG AND ROOT!

EDIT

When I flashed the BL file I checked "phone bootloader update" on Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Fear_The_Fluff:
I am on this rom right now: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-ed...sungpay-norootrequiredtoinstallorrun-t3748717

It is unrooted until you want to make changes, you apply root, make changes, and turn off root and you can continue using apps that won't work with root. Plus you don't get the root lag because you won't be on root all the time.

I will miss custom roms, but this is a great alternative.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ars18:
Correct me if I'm wrong. I believe the lag is from the eng boot, not root access. Correct? If so, who cares if you can root and unroot?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Delgoth:
I flashed the full G935T Firmware to my Verizon S7 (G935V), and I've not had any problems, rooted or not. I'm only saying this because the verizon s7 device can actually accept any firmware designed for a US Galaxy S7. It isn't a secret or anything. I really have all 4 firmware files for the G935T installed to my G935V right now no questions asked in ODIN. It's been this way for like a year now. Full Operations, no bugs.

My question is, how is it that all the carriers colluded to lock the device down in the same way. Who is actually responsible for this? Can all 5 Firmware versions available to this device really be locked in the same manner with no loophole manageable? I don't get it.

It really makes me feel like there was an effort outside of the OEM's/Carriers to make sure the Galaxy Devices starting with the S6 would never fully be root-able. It makes me feel like when ChainFire gave up on Samsung, all of sudden the devices are no longer unlock-able like they used to be. Is this just coincidence in the order of events regarding root and newer devices?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rbgCODE:
Thats not a bad rating at all. When I was using the eng_bootload file it was down around 6 and my cpu was always running high. Battery was crap and phone got hot soo easy. If you want to include your image in the post all you need to do is wrap the img in the square brackets like other forums the [ and ].

Not sure if u followed my method exactly. My phone is PERFECT :)

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------

The reason why my method shouldn't work is because of the fact that doing this should make the phone unbootable. Usually the phone will recognize that it is played around with. That's why this is so awesome. STOCK AND ROOTED!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] noamparn:
Just to make sure I understand this, you're using the stock Verizon firmware on the phone, but with the booloader from the unlocked firmware, and it works (and it has an unlocked bootloader)?

Is there a way to do this without wiping the phone (and having to reinstall all apps and settings)? Can that be done by using HOME_CSC instead of CSC?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ars18:
I have the verizon g935v.

I'm using the stock unlocked version of the s7 edge firmware G935U. The flash the ENGBOOT and root. After that, flash the BL file from the unlocked firmware while checking "phone bootloader update" in Odin. Can't think of a way to do this without wiping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] noamparn:
Aha - so you're *not* using the Verizon firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ars18:
Nope. Unlocked version g935u is basically the same with no bloatware.

Read my whole reply please.

Wow. Feel like an idiot. Ur right my kernel build says that. Excuse my noobishness. All I know is that before I flashed the stock BL file my phone was getting hot and slow. However, after flashing, my phone works like stock. Faster, in fact.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] molokaidiver:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] molokaidiver:
So just an update. I've flashed the 935U firmware. Set it up and left it alone and it was working fine. Then I flashed the ENG boot file from the earlier post in this thread and it passes but after a few seconds of sitting on the home screen, it restarts. It repeats this process until I shut down my phone. I've checked 'Boot Loader Update' before flashing the ENG boot file. I also placed it in the BL section of Odin (I hope that was the right place). Let me know if I'm doing something wrong. Not sure if it was supposed to go in BL or AP.

-------------------------

Edit - I know where I made my mistake. I'm juggling around work and root so it's taking me longer than it should to finish this. But I've been putting the boot file in the wrong place. AP instead of BL for future reference.

Edit 2 - Still looping. Will try different ENG boot file.

Edit 3 - Tried using different ENG boot file from here --> https://xdaforums.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-method-nougat-t3566978 but still ended up restarting after booting to home screen. I am on the 935U firmware so it's a nice change from not seeing Verizon stuff everywhere. I will try again after doing research as to why my phone restarts after flashing ENG boot image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] RXT00:
You're on the right track. Just complete the root by disabling "Verify Apps Over USB" and running the root.bat file. In my experience, it continues to loop until you finish the root process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] molokaidiver:
Just curious... Wouldn't the phone need to be stable in order for me to run the root.bat file? If it restarts every 30-45 seconds, wouldn't it interrupt / fail the root? If not, I'll try this out tomorrow
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] RXT00:
That actually did happen to me once. I disabled the verify apps but didn't have enough time to complete the root so it restarted on me. I just ran it again though and it worked fine.

What you can do is disable the verify apps, then when it restarts run the root.bat and you should have more than enough time.

Okay, so install Ufirm, use eng boot, root, then flash the BL from the stock Ufirm? Did you need to use any of the fixes associated with the eng boot? Like to remove volte and save passwords? Did everything work as usual other than not having Samsung Pay? Fingerprint needed?

Didn't specifically test anything but I used the phone perfectly with no issues like that for a week. Wi-Fi was fine. Volte icon needed to be fixed though.

So you need to fix volte before flashing the regular bootloader? Changes can't be made after regular bl is flashed?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ars18:
Quoting myself. I assume changes can be made seeing as technically the kernel stays the same, as [MENTION=6227470]vsn4[/MENTION] pointed out. Don't know why my method works. It just does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rlewis312010:
I have no idea why but it works. I had ufirm so I installed the ufirm version from jusmejose's thread. I did choose fixes though. Anyway, my phone rebooted twice and I had a shot to root. It rebooted then I went and installed the stock ufirm bl. Straight $. I have root, xposed installed, lucky patcher, firefs and gravity box. I haven't tweaked much yet.

On eng boot I had lag, a hot phone, "stuttering" and it wasn't usable. This feels like other phones I've rooted. Smooth. I don't use Samsung pay or fingerprint scanning. I don't know how it would be if I installed root "without fixes." Thanks, I almost bought pixel 2 for total control. I may get the 3rd with 5g if it's included but this is quite enjoyable now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ars18:
Awesome! It's so weird that nobody knows why this works. It just does and the best part about it is is that I just got pissed at the lag and tried random stuff that shouldn't accomplish anything. Must have soft bricked this phone 30 or so times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rlewis312010:
The only issue is battery life now, haha. Some expert can explain it I bet. If I had to guess, I don't think they expected the eng boot to be released and then princy flashing, then ufirm. I don't know if It'd work with stock ATT or other firmware. Buttery smooth though with root. I just gotta figure out the battery. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ars18:
My battery pretty solid. First thing i get on a phone is es file explorer and delete all crap. Plenty of hidden bloatware, even on ufirm, trust me. Then I put on medium power saving mode on, minus enabling background app data usage for the apps I need to work constantly.

If it makes any sense, after I upgraded all stock apps, battery has been better.
