[Samsung Galaxy A71 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ShaDisNX255:
NcX 2.5 A71 ROM​

Pretty straight forward, I took OneUI 2.5 firmware, debloated it and added a few features which can be found here: Link to MODs

My plan is to make this the best version of OneUI 2.5 with more features and fixed things (my mission is to fix Secure Folder in the near future) Fixed :)

Anyway, let's get started.

Your warranty is now void.
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about flashing this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you. HARD!

Features!​

Full OneUI 2.5 features

Debloated

Bugs!​

Secure Folder broken (will try to fix later) Fixed on 2.5.1

Samsung Pass broken (because of knox 0x1, duh) Removed from ROM, it will never work.

Bug with AOD brightness when you use fingerprint unlock method. This bug happens when you have AOD to always show. If AOD is showing, then you turn the screen on to only show lockscreen clock and then turn the screen off for AOD to show, the brightness of AOD will reduce to the most minimal and it will be hard to see, regardless of what brightness you set up. There are 2 ways to getting rid of this bug:

Disable unlocking phone with fingerprint

Unlocking your phone and then locking it again. This will only fix it until you trigger the bug again

Fixed, clock animation removed.

You tell me

Prequisites​

MANDATORY ALWAYS: SD Card. It IS possible to have it on internal storage but ONLY if you are not encrypted. If you are encrypted, then you will need to FORMAT DATA and that will delete everything in your internal storage and you won't be able to add it back to internal storage with TWRP because MTP is broken.​

For installing 2.5.1/2.5.2:

Installing and following NcX 2.5 installation steps, as well as its prequesites

TWRP Installed (included in NcX 2.5)

Download multidisabler.zip (link: From Telegram Group (also attached on this thread) and add to SD Card or internal storage

Download Magisk zip installer to your SD Card or internal storage

For installing 2.5:

Update to bootloader U3 (either install OneUI 2.1 or OneUI 2.5 fully with Odin), otherwise you will have problems with camera

Fully unlock bootloader. I don't mean just turning OEM unlock on in developer settings , I mean FULLY unlock. If you didn't know, Samsung changed up how you unlock the bootloader on newer devices like this one. [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] gets a little more specific here: Explanation but I'm going to quote the important stuff to FULLY unlock bootloader:

Download Magisk zip installer to your SD Card or internal storage

Download multidisabler.zip (link: From Telegram Group and also attached in this thread) and add to SD Card or internal storage

Instructions!​

For installing 2.5.1/2.5.2:

Reboot to TWRP

Flash NcX 2.5.1.img or NcX 2.5.2 as "super" image in TWRP

Reboot to Recovery

Format data if you are coming from Stock ROM. If you are coming from NcX 2.5 then you don't need to wipe or format, you can just skip this step.

Flash multidisabler (this is required always)

Flash Magisk zip (optional)

Reboot and wait patiently

For installing 2.5:

Reboot to download mode and add AP_NcX 2.5 A71 in AP on Odin

Uncheck the Auto reboot option in Odin

Flash

When it is finished, force a manual reboot (keep pressing VOL - and Power buttons together)

Immediately when phone reboots, boot to recovery mode (VOL + and Power button)

If your phone was unencrypted before, just do a normal wipe. If your phone was not unencrypted before, do a full data format (Go to WIPE option in TWRP, select FORMAT DATA button at the bottom and they type yes on the keyboard. This will completely wipe your internal storage so be sure to backup and photos, music, etc... you have in internal media.)

Flash multidisabler to ensure you do not get encrypted

Flash magisk (I don't know if this is mandatory, I would fully recommend it though)

Reboot and wait patiently
