Recommended Installation Steps

We Don't recommends/supports dirty flash, but one thing to note, you always should remove lockscreen & Biometric data before flashing ROM in case you gonna flash dirty.

ROM tested with Ian TWRP ( Download area have it) Credit & Thanks @ ianmacd Here is link for OP and source code.

If you are on Pie version (Stock/Custom) - Flash Stock Q first (recommended to have same base of ROM) and then follow instructions below

If you are already on DrKetan ROM Q* (Previos version ROM) then

If you are on stock ROM (Rooted/Non Rooted/Other custom ROM) or facing Bootloop/Sreen lock (Device reboot on unlocking device) after flashing ROM

Important Notes once you finish installing ROM

DON'T INSTALL ANY DISABLER/BT FIX/MAGISK anything after flashing ROM, as ROM already pre patched for all these stuff. Additionally flashing may cause issue. Also you shouldn't WIPE device after flashing ROM, but It should be before flashing ROM.

- It may take 6-7 minutes to finish installation. once installation finish, select reboot to system

- After this first of all open magisk and check if installed correctly, If it ask for complete additional setup, let it do and reboot.(If ROM being installed as said, then it won't ask)

I recommend to disable magisk notification (Magisk - setting - superuser notification - none (This will make mods to work much faster)

- On newer magisk, default status of Magisk Hide is disabled, Enable it to pass SafetyNet & for hiding root for other apps

After looking magisk is installed properly, open ROM Tool and apply essential Fix - Reboot device after applying essential fix

If you are using Gear watch or other accessory, setup it and finish rest of personal installation.

Done !

Special Note for Gear wearable & Gear SPay

Spay (Gear) working out of box (As per my test), provided you have installed required apps.

To connect it flawlessly,

1.Clean Install ROM + Open ROM Tool and Apply Essential Fix - Reboot

2.Make sure Magisk manager safetyNet check pass

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

Once Gear connects, simply open Samsung Pay from Galaxy Wearable app - Hide it in Magisk Hide and you should able to add 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.

Tips,AddOn & Fix

- 3 minit users can use 3minit battery paid version for free. Check this (Thanks to gharrington )

- Custom splash bootlogo

- ROM have included custom kernel that compiled with magisk integreted, So when magisk update available, you can not update magisk (It will cause bootloop) If you want to stick to custom kernel, wait till developer release new version with buil in updated magisk. In case you can't wait, you can use stock kernel and update magisk, here below is guide to update magisk.

Download stock firmware

Extract AP_*.tar.md5 and patch it using latest magisk, extract boot.img from patched file

Download TWRP and patch it using latest magisk

Now flash patched TWRP and extracted boot.img from recovery as image

- Stuck while flashing something (Bootloop), How can I reboot to download

There is a golden rule that always works when you stuck anywhere (bootloop). Follow this -

1.Plugin device to PC

2.Keep holding power + vol down

3.As soon as screen goes blank, keep holding vol up + vol down (here you needs to be quick)

And you are in download mode.

- EdXposed You can directly install from Magisk download repositories

- Read ROM Tool - Update & Fix if any new available.

Download : https://drketanrom.com/

This is a customized ROM and for end users only, ROM or any part of ROM/mods not allowed to redistribute,modify or to use as base to prepare new ROM/ part of other ROM.

Now onward only Q base ROM will be released, P06 will remain last version of Pie ROM, there won't be any support provided for Pie based ROM, just keeping it available in download area if you are still not ready to move to Q

Thanks for keeping patience.
