Just a note to dev and/or anyone else who may be interested....

I flashed Tkkg1994's CSCSelection_V3.0.0.zip to change the CSC from whatever it was (Korea or somewhere in Asia) to BTU (UK).

I know the file is meant for Oreo but thought I'd give it a try and apart from a warning message of "unknown OS version" it flashed OK.

I'm now on BTU (without a factory reset) and WiFi Calling and VoLTE are working.

In my very own oppinion (I'm now talking like Miss Marple) It's due your battery health. I was having very bad performance with even oreo rom. I had 823 discharge and %65 battery health on my old battery. I replaced it and now It's all good. Better check your battery health with phone info app.

@kill-switch please read this

[MENTION=7098450]Kill-Switch[/MENTION]

a few pages before you told me to try out MODDED 1994 twrp instead of 3.2.0 hero2lte. i tried doing that but everytime i flash version 2 my sm-g935fd (india) gets bricked/boot looped or stuck on boot screen. i went back to stock firmware and recovery.

again i tried a clean/fresh install of first the twrp you told me to which ends with md5 file name then i wipe dalvik/cache,system,internal,system. still it fails to mount them.

version 1 installed and ran perfectly except for a few bugs but tbh idc abt them. when i tried to CLEAN install v2 over that , my phone bricked again.

so right now i'm on oreo.

here's how i install twrp. i refer to a video

link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aE_AX8HBDg&t=257s

according to this i also have to flash a no-verity zip file to counter dm-verity . pls watch the vid on fast forward its short.

i need help installing v2 thankyou for your hardwork and them skills :) :)

PS:I DONT KNOW WHERE TO FIT IN KERNEL MAYBE I AM MISSING A STEP OR 2 SO PLEASE CORRECT ME. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL YOUR STEPS CORRECTLY MENTIONED IN THE DESCRIPTION. tho i'm still confused about the kernel step as it is not mentioned in your description for the edge.

please also give me the link of the MODDED twrp YOU TOLD ME TO USE.

PIE SOUND MOD (DUAL SPEAKER) (Working!)

Hi there, as you might remember, few days ago I posted a link to soundmod, which caused mics to break/ stop working after several calls. But I found it out later when I had already posted. Today I made a SoundMod working based on that one, I could not contact the dev about permission for values in the files.

Everything is the same, working as expected, including mic.

I'll try to help, even if i'm using the rom for the last couple of hours.

OP suggests clean install and not a dirty flash, specially for major revisions like from v1 to v2.

As per users, v1 didn't had the duals enabled.

I hope there is a magisk way of enabling this cause i don't want to tamper with any kind of system file.

Do you know if there is a systemless magisk zip with this fix?

You need to install EdXposed instead of Xposed.

There are countless posts about it with modules that work and other that don't to even softbrick your device.

I suggest to previously install magisk with the mm for recovery module so you can go thru twrp terminal and disable things that may break your installation.

"OK, how do I install it?

Check for updates from corresponding links below as they would change being a beta. Valid as on 12 Feb 19 and will not be updated in this answer

Source Android 9.0 uses xposed solutions as updated

Use Magisk order to install these modules in the same order ( You won't find them in the magisk repo. Download them and from Magisk Downloads option click on the + to install and they will appear as Magisk Modules)

Magisk-riru-core-arm-arm64-v10.zip

Magisk-EdXposed-arm-arm64-v x.x_beta-release.zip

Don't reboot yet , install magisk-EdXposed-v0.2.9.8_beta1-release.zip (check for updates in subsequent releases)

Reboot."

Then I installed EdXposedInstaller_v2.2.4-release.apk. If I remember, Xposed didn't install at first attempt, I got the red banner saying "Not installed". I installed all the modules again (without deleting them), rebooted a couple of times, then it seemed to have installed OK.

A few quick reminders.

1) Please DO NOT post disrespectful comments about other users OR the devs. Devs work for free, and owe us as users nothing. If you feel the need to report an issue, do so with respect and in a manner that is helpful or informative in resolving the problem; not with disrespect or rudeness.

2) Even though an unruly member deserves to be confronted by regulars in the thread, PLEASE DO NOT engage troublemakers. Simply report them and allow Moderation staff to addressing the situation. A few rude comments by a troublemaker turns into a dozen back and forth comments from regulars and troublemakers. While I appreciate the support and defense the regulars give the devs, it too creates non-development posts and additional clutter in the thread.

Even though defending the dev is a good thing, it still creates more problems than it resolves. Both the above actions are violations of Forum Rules. This is the only warning those involved will receive.

Thanks to those who are helping development, being respectful, and following the rules.

tl;dr

The dev owes us nothing.

If your comment isn't respectful, helpful, or on-topic, DON'T post it.

When the trolls come knocking, DON'T feed them, report them.
