It took me several tries to get the right version from their website. First I should have scrolled down to where I could switch the language to English. Instead, I downloaded the first one that appeared to be for a Windows Mobile SP. It turned out to be the latest Chinese version and even the chinese characters wouldn't show up on my phone.

Then I installed a Windows version, but I got warnings that it wasn't for my phone. It worked anyways, but I did want to get rid of the warning so I tried again. I recall someone mentioning that the HTC Dash and the Dopod C720W are the same. So I found that particular version and it is really fast! It's amazing as well that it's running natively and not as a Java App.

Uninstalling the other incorrect versions didn't go so smoothly though. The icons remained in Start/Programs. Therefore, I restored my phone from an earlier backup and then reinstalled the UCWeb browser.

Thanks again for this great find!

Thank you,

Tim

Bit of an old thread but here goes....

I managed to install this on my Galaxy Note 10 (SM-N970F) and everything runs fine. My issue is updating Magisk from v22.1 to current latest (22.3). I've tried flashing through recovery (TWRP), tried Magisk's "direct install", with no luck. Just endless bootloops.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong and can point me in the right direction plz

PS: To the Dev, nice job with the Rom, & thank you!😝
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Morutimeru:
Hello.

Wanted to know if this works on the dual Sim version of the Note 10 SM-N970F/DS?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] carandcar:
If you are updating Magisk through the app's update function (I think that's what you're saying but correct me if I'm wrong) you will certainly get boot loops. Magisk has to be patched for the specific phone model first.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Galaxy GT-I9300:
Hi there, thanks for the reply. Yes your correct I have been trying to update it through ",Magisk's update" function an your correct about the endless bootĺoops.

To make things clear, this ROM has magisk installed I think it's called "systemlessly" automatically when you flash the ROM. I've been trying to update unsuccessfully lol.... When you talk of "patching magisk" could you explain or link me to some instructions on how to do this? I've looked at various guides on this forum but I'm unsure which method applies to me an my situation....

Regards.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Galaxy GT-I9300:
OK then, after bit of trial and error I finally ģot it sorted. What worked for me was opening up Magisk app (latest) and hitting update tab, then selecting "patch a file". I then selected a TWRP backup (recovery.win) .Magisk patches it and saves the output file in "Downloads"

Then I reboot phone into TWRP, Hit Install, click on Image, select the patched file from Downloads where Magisk saved it to. When TWRP asks what section you want to flash ot too (ie:boot,recovery,system etc) I selected Recovery. After it's flashed, reboot to System. Presto, Magisk is updated to 23.0. It also allows you to now update Riru to latest version now (26.1.1)

My boot time seems to be a little longer but it works

PS: to get Safteynet pass working I downloaded "safteynetfix 1.20" which I found thread about here on XDA.

Thank you for the info I found here & from other members 😊

To which directory does the rom end up? I can't seem to find it. I downloaded it with my browser
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Zaileion:
Would you kindly explain entirely how you did this. How did you get the recovery.win file in the first place?

So I made a twrp backup of my recovery partition which created a file named recovery.emmc.win I patched and flashed and it stuck on Android boot screen logo. Can you upload your patched file, will that work? Or can you verify the directions. I'm also trying to get Riru on this rom.

How does one change the status bar temp mod from Celsius to Fahrenheit? I got the weather widget in F but the Hyper Tools Status bar Weather remains in C and I would like to switch it to F if possible. Thank you!

Please, will this work on N971n exynos? The note 10 5g version
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Zaileion:
I love this ROM. Its the only one available for the Note 10+ that has abundant customizations much more then any other rom and of course I want to use it. But I am experiencing a serious dilemma and any support or assistance in trying to fix it would be most appreciated.

My phone is the 256GB version but when I flash this ROM it changes the capacity to 32GB.

Anyone out there that can help, I sure would appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Zaileion:
Well, its not the ROM. Its the root procedure. I cannot figure out how to install a custom recovery and root. So I decided to patch an AP file w/ Magisk and patch a twrp image file, rename it to recovey.img then insert the patched twrp file into the patched AP file replacing the existing rrecovery.img file. Which worked... great until I realized my phone was only 32gb. at first I thought it was the rom but after some work realized it was this patched file as described above.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] jays note 2:
Ohhhh!!! Ok damn!!!!! I only thought of the restart cos I've had it happen to me when I 1st tried Dr Ketans R10. The system was mistaking my 64gb SD card as internal storage and I couldn't figure out why until it occurred to me that maybe a factory reset via twrp might help in correcting it and it did.

I suspect the there maybe be a bug in the aroma installer where even though it flashes the rom it's not releasing the system storage once it's done so that when we boot the system it's seeing the installed SD card as internal instead of its own.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] jays note 2:
The bug could be twrp itself, we don't know as I haven't seen anyone else bring it up. Apart from you & I
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Zaileion:
So how do I get Magisk 23 on this ROM?

Also the Quick Settings Animation for Panel Content don't seem to work for me. I've tried several. It causes some flickering and jittering but that's it. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] Galaxy GT-I9300:
Hi, from what you've said I gather you've done the same as I did. After youve "patched" the recovery.emmc.win, it should save it in "Downloads" and it'll be named "magisk_patched-23000_cnip1.img" or similar . Boot into TWRP recovery mode. Select "Install", (don't forget to select "Image" on the bottom right corner of TWRP) Select the patched file from "Downloads" & when TWRP asks which partition to flash, select "Recovery". Phone may reboot several times but that should be it....

I'm using this version of TWRP

"twrp-3.5.2_9-3-d1.img" by the way

tried on N976 - bootloop. On N971N - autorotate does not work. Even when changed kernel that works with another roms - still does not work. And some toggles in status bar are messy

After some experiments more exact picture. N971 does not have autorotate. N976 everything works, but impossible to get the icons on status bar.

Hi all

I found my Google Play Services run in background about 12 hours a day, this cause an huge battery drain. I tried some fixes but it's not helping. Never had problems with this in any brand or model.

Can someone point me to the right path?

Thanks

Joao
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BaltazarIX:
I have the same issue, currently it's almost 2 days background and almost 11% battery drain. I usually get similar results ~5% battery drain per day.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] neilth:
On my S21U looking at a week’s battery usage, Google Play Services has used .7 to 1.4% per day with daily background usage varying between 11 and 23 hours. Active usage is consistently zero every day though. So I am not seeing any battery issues from Google Play Services. How does this compare with your daily Google Play Services battery usage history for the previous week?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jtlivio:
Only disabling sync for accounts I can get more 8 to 10% battery, unfortunately. It's strange because as I said never had this problem before in any brand or model including Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] arf8:
Turn off Mobile background data and go to battery and turn off run in background. If you want to monitor what is going on there is a few tools you can use and some apps are better than others at honoring your selection but it can also cause problems for other apps that are in the background ie music/video players so keep that in mind. download pcapdroid and glasswire it will tell you a lot about what is running at what time of the day and where the data is being sent if you use wireshark to look at the pcap file. start with what i suggested with turning off the two options for each app after you observe the usage of the app and you will thank me later. My battery drain is minimal at idle, overnight it is 2% for a 12 hour period and most of that is email which i don't want optimised and allow to run in background
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sane12321:
For me the option to turn off background usage is greyed out. Is there any way around this?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] arf8:
For Google play services itself you can't but if you turn of everything else you will see major improvements. There are a few others you can't turn off but don't worry.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Just disable it. Enable when you need it.

Most times it's not needed at all.

Disable all cloud crap unless you use it.

Google Transport is a prime offender, disable it.

Turn off Google Firebase and all feedback including Samsung, carrier feedback if any.

Use Karma Firewall to block Android Services, Playstore and Google Play Services if disabling it isn't getting it

Karma Firewall uses almost no battery, no ads, a great clean app. Unfortunately it's logging feature doesn't work on high security Q/11.

Thanks for nothing Google...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] arf8:
If you disable google services you will find a lot of Google products stop working. I would not advise doing that. Plus you can only disable with Root or something like Adhell using Knox license.

If you use the tools i suggested you will see a significant battery life improvement without any adverse affects to the usability of your phone. Sure you can disable everything under the sun but some things are needed. I have about 137 apps/bloat disabled and phone runs perfect without any hiccups.

Also using a FW to block a service will not improve battery life per say and the FW itself uses battery and RAM along with system resources to operate. It also uses your VPN so if you need to truely use a VPN you give that option up, ie VPN based ad blockers. The requests will constantly occur from the app when it times out or it is blocked. You are better off disabling it if you don't want to live in the google echosystem or care if some apps work or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Gmail, Playstore and Gmaps are the only useful Google apps. Google Play Services can easily be enabled as needed.

Otherwise it's a data sucking battery hog that needs a good kick in the head.

I've had it with Google's endless big sister bs.

And... Firewall blocking with Karma Firewall does improve battery life if you block the apks I mentioned.

For the last 12 hours this is how much battery Karma used...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] arf8:
GPS supports a lot more than just google products.

There is no free lunch you FW still consumes battery and you are not seeing the system resources utilized by the FW.

Not going to argue about this, do as you wish.
