[Galaxy Note5 Android Development] ananjaser1211:
Floyd V5.0

​

Welcome to Floyd Port For the Exynos7420 Series[/CENTER]

Here we are again, with another major release, what initially started as couple bug fixes ended up being its own fully fledged ROM.

with tons of fixes and improvements to make this the ultimate Pie update for this device. and perhaps the Last.

i can see no way at the moment of improving upon this release, which means my efforts hopefully will be focused towards Q if it ends up being viable and i find motivation to do so.

id like to give a big shoutout to [MENTION=4658360]corsicanu[/MENTION] for his awesome V12 Base, that by itself includes a ton of improvements and id like to thank the testers for working with me on this one, its a massive ROM to say the least.

I hope you Enjoy the ROM. if you appreciate this project consider donating @ Paypal

I HIGHLY SUGGEST NOT DIRTY FLASHING, There are alot of changes and a high chance of conflicts to happen. so please dont report bugs due to dirty flash. if you must , be sure to tick chrome in aroma to avoid FCs[LATEST]

ensure you have LATEST TWRP (3.2+)

Download and copy the ROM to your device

Wipe everything (SYSTEM,DATA,CACHE,DALVIK and if possible internal storage)

Flash the ROM.ZIP (Select only what you will use otherwise it will fail due to system size)

Notes

-At all times, be sure to have atlteast 10% free internal storage otherwise random reboots may occur and loss of data

-Updating gametools (without installing navbar) will break it

-On first setup, let the phone update everything before using it

-to keep youtube vanced, untik autoupdates from platstore

-Q keyboard does not support most languages (you need to install language packs from xda)

-if your apps are not getting internet, reboot

Samsung Camera Guide

-Samsung camera only runs when auto brightness is turned off

-VideoRecording : on front/back go to ProMode > ColorTone > Tone1 > Record

--Front camera only records well at 720P

--Videos recorded will be 24~30FPS

-Selfies : Long press cam icon > select selfie

--This will switch to front camera

--To switch to main > long press icon > select auto

Q : Samsung camera does not turn on

A : Disable auto brightness (idk why dont ask)

Q : Some apps lose internet after a while or at first setup

A : Reboot your device or change process limit in developer options to 2 (due to wifi implementation)

Q : Cant lower incall volume on US variants

A : Side-effect of using AOSP HAL, use hkTweaks > MoroSound > reduce earpiece volume
