Welcome!

If you opening this thread on XDA App, please enable "view full thread".

​

What? Why are you making 2 different thread on the same ROM?

No, this is different. this rom is based completely on SM-A9200 firmware, which is completely different with SM-A920F Firmware (in terms of features subset and restrictions).

And i also put experimental patches in here before putting the patch to StockOptimized.

So, if you want a stable experience, go to StockOptimized, else, if you feel adventurous, try this rom instread.

​

Notes before install

Make sure you installed latest TWRP/OrangeFox/SkyHawk Recovery in here. I'm using OrangeFox recovery for this guide. AND make sure you have OEM Unlock, Unlocked on Developer Options.

If you installed custom recovery for the first time, instead : Click Wipe > Format Data > Type Yes > TWRP Main Menu > Reboot > Recovery.

If you use TWRP & want to install Magisk, Reboot > Recovery first, then flash magisk as usual.

If you are updating/installing apps that big in size, you might gonna get kicked out from secure folder. Just wait until the installer done and everything will go back to normal.

Do not update the Clock App, Samsung Calendar and Samsung Reminder.

SamsungPass is not working on this rom. if you found the patch, tag me immediately at the group.

Magisk app says magisk not installed even tho you flashed magisk? just reboot and boom, magisk is back.

AppLock may got disabled depends on your region.

Read more about microG in here. also the location backend in here.

Installation

Download the rom and also magisk if you wanted to, on your PC.

Reboot the phone to recovery.

Click Wipe > Tick Dalvik, System, Data, Cache > And swipe to wipe.

Transfer the rom and also magisk if you wanted to, from your PC to the phone.

Find the rom you just transfered > click it > Swipe to confirm flash > and wait until it's done. Magisk too if you wanted to.

Go back to OrangeFox 3-stripe Menu > Reboot > System.

Let the ROM boot until SetupWizard appear.

Post-Installation

You might want to skip this, but i recommend you to do so:

Install magisk after installing the rom.

Install magisk app, Turn on Zygisk and add deny list to these apps:

Samsung Checkout (com.sec.android.app.billing)

Set mount namespace mode to "Isolated Namespace"

Also install safetynet-fix, Shamiko module. LSPosed too if you wanted to.

Reboot the phone.

Now you have 2 options, go using GApps magisk module that i prepared or microG installer revived magisk module.

If you're using microG, and you want to use play store, use Nanolx patched play store. and since the apk signature verification is disabled on this rom, you can just do a normal APK install on the app and it gonna be installed.

If you're using microG, my recommendation for location backend is Apple backend.

You can also install FireFds on LSPosed to extend the customization in the ROM. You need LSPosed for that though.
