- Included latest 5 Sept built stock kernel

- Supports N960F/DS/N

- Magisk updated to latest stable 19.3

PS : ROM Tool will not work for first few minutes after reboot to prevent clash with magisk

How to activate Secure Folder - Recommended to clean install ROM - Apply Essential Fix (Wait till it appear or manually do it from ROM Tool) - Reboot device

Now you can create secure folder from settings - biometrics and security

Pro version needs to update to 2.1.2

Recommended Installation steps

1.Make nandroid backup of your current ROM and also advisable to make Int storage backup, though wiping Int storage not require, if you are already on custom recovery

2.Recommended to flash latest Bootloader Modem.

3.Factory Reset (without wiping Int storage is fine if you already did it previously) and Install ROM

4.We recommend to select vendor from aroma while flashing ROM

5.Wait for Reboot device.

Once device boot, check for Magisk Manager in app drawer, If magisk not available, you can simply install Magisk.apk as regular apk (Available in download area)

To note that, even you don't select Kernel/Root option in aroma, It will get auto flashed if you have choose to flash ROM. Kernel and Root option is given to flash it back in case tou have flashed custom kernel and wanted to revert to stock without flashing ROM.

6..Now connect and install SW related to your accessory like Gear wearable/ VR etc For gear wear, you will auto notify with new gear detected option if you keep gear wear ready with reset.

DON'T install any patched apks for gear, simply download directly from store only.

In case using titanium backup location on Ext SD then, in preference - select the backup folder location - storage provider and select document provider storage.

Enjoy the ROM!

N960N users

ROM is same for N960F/DS/N

Note for OEM Issue

ROM is patched for it already and no need to flash anything extra but while flashing ROM, select OEM Fix option in aroma. In case you flash vendor separately (Any time after flashing ROM), it is recommended to Re-Run aroma and simply select OEM fix and skip everything extra and flash it.

There may be OEM unlock option disabled (and remain same even if you enable, because of it is hacked/Patched), simply ignore it, No test users have reported issue of custom binaries error

Special Note for Gear wearable

Included magisk is perfect for using Gear SPay. Spay (Gear) working out of box (As per my test), provided you have installed required apps. keep in mind, launch SPay only after hiding "Pay" stuff in magisk.

To connect it flawlessly,

1.Clean Install ROM

2.Follow the steps shown above

3.Connect gear with Bluetooth (Gear should factory reset) and this will auto install all required apps

4.In case it stuck with Pairing for long time, make sure you have installed correct vendor.

SPay should work fine too. There may not be option in Wearable but you can launch by long pressing home on Gear. I have successfully added card.

Important :

If you want to use EdXposed with Gear Spay then first add your card before installing EdXposed.

I recommend clean Installation only. If you are able to handle consequences with dirty flash then proceed, but don't post bugs in forum without clean installing ROM.

Currently Download area have both Oreo (O8_New) as well Pie (P*)version available, if someone yet not ready to go with Pie. But Oreo development is ended and O8_new is the last oreo version and no any support will be provided for Oreo now onwards.

ROM IS FOR END USERS ONLY, To use as base/using part of ROM or re-releasing with modification is strongly prohibited

Your review and reports will be appreciated

Thank you for reading & patience!

Tips,AddOn & Fix

- Unable to login to samsung ac : I have observed recently in one condition, restoring a backup that includes samsung acc. I have encountered this once and fixed by installing Samsung Members and logged in with that. By using this app, it showing "your session is expired login again" after this it was worked. Another possibility is, few users have reported some version of custom kernel was causing issue with samsung acc.

- Using Google Pay - You can use Google Pay by hiding google & Google Pay app with magisk hide + if requires, disable telephone permission to google play services.
