Note for N960N Users :

There is a separate folder for N960N users which have main ROM zip and MD5 info, while vendor zip will remain same for both the versions.

As said earlier, I am expecting N960N users may have Bluetooth pair issue (device doesn't auto re-connect after reboot) but ROM tool already have an option to fix it. Features of N960N will be remain same as of N960F.

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 for Oreo (provided in download area of O8).

3.Download files inside P* folder and read ReadMe_DrKetanROM_Pie.txt file carefully

Vendor is TWRP flashable img - Extract to get vendor.img - copy to SD card - select to flash img in TWRP - select vendor.img and flash

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

From aroma Don't select Modem (read below for more details)

3.Wait for Reboot device.

4.On first boot you may miss Network and / or Magisk (Not happens with all), in this case simply reboot the device. If everything fine then setup the device further. In case No network then you can re-run aroma, skip everything and just flash modem. If magisk not available, you can simply install Magisk.apk as regular apk (Available in download area)

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!

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

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.

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, still it will be available for download till official Pie released.

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!
