[Q] Help me with making this Safestrap ROM. - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I recently have noticed the drastic increase of people downgrading to 3.2.8 and installing Nexus ROM on their devices. Let's be honest; stock JB isn't visually appealing, and with GAPPS it still doesn't meet the criteria for a modern Android ROM. I would like to present to you, Project ReTHORmation! My goal is get rid of what doesn't meet modern design standards, and to add a modern look to JB. The base is the same as the Safestrap version of the Nexus ROM to insure compatibility with 3.2.8 users. I believe Project ReTHORmation should run on older firmware versions (prior to 3.2.7). I've included GAPPS and a few other apps. I'll post some of them down below:
Greenify
HKThemes Xposed module
Gravity Box
Xposed
Black Out Theme BetterKat
Evernote
Nova Launcher
N7 Camera app
ES File Explorer
Google Keyboard
APK Tool
SuperSU
BusyBox
Chrome Dev
etc...
Here are my questions:
1. How do I compress this in a flashable format (/data and /system) without compromising my privacy (accounts, passwords, etc.) whilst still keeping settings in tact?
2. Is anyone interested in this project/want to help test it?
3. Could I compile openGL 3 and ART (which are included in 4.3) on 4.2.2?
4. Do you guys prefer Mega or Google Drive ?

Important notes:
1. If you want to say "Thanks!"
There are many ways to show your support to the developer. You can:
Press the "Thanks" button.
Hit the donation button and "buy me a beer".
Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.
Advertise my work to your friends.
Rate my thread with 5 stars.
Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!​
2. Sharing policy
This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:
Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.
Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
Give proper credits for what you used.
When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.
Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:
ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.
Other parts of my work that are not supposed to be used by others without proper permission.
Please let me keep my threads design unique. I’m sure you can do something even better yourself!​

If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to post them in the respective thread. Due to my commitments in real life I can't answer every PM, tweet or facebook post.
If you want to get the fastest and the best answer - ask the question in the thread. Every month I need to remove about 1.000 new messages from my XDA inbox. I’m sure it’s better if I spend this time cooking new ROMs.​
4. Signature banners for users
Due to the increasing number of users flashing my ROMs we introduced some time ago 3 special groups of members.
Android Revolution HD Recognized User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by being active in my thread (or threads).
Helping users to solve problems, answering questions or preparing threads with add-ons for Android Revolution HD are the most common ways to gain this rank. Just be active and we’ll contact you!
Android Revolution HD Advanced User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by doing some amazing modification, application, theme etc. for Android Revolution HD.
Creating simple bootanimation might not be enough, but you never know! Having Recognized User status before is not needed!
Android Revolution HD Supporter – every user who shared some server space with us (with proper bandwidth) will get this banner. Please keep in mind we can't use DropBox shared folders.
What we can use is minimum 20 GB of space and 10 Mbit upload speed. If you want to donate some server space to us, please contact me via private message.
Apart of those special banners, every user might use one of our amazing user banners collected in this thread.
Finally, thanks for using my work! I hope you will enjoy Android Revolution HD!​

- remove /sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary from your SD card
- re-download Google Maps from the Android Market
- clear data from Google Maps in system software management

Q 8: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?
A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.
Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.
Q 9: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?
A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.

A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1.5GHz.
If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.
Q 13: When I listen to music from HTC stock player it accidentally pauses for short time and then keep playing.
A: Turn OFF fastboot in settings.

A: Please clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider.

Q 16: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?
A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.
There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.
What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.
Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.
Q 17: I have com.htc.bgc process force close few times a day. How can I fix it?
A: It's because you have removed HtcTwitter.apk (HTC Twitter application). Please restore it.

Q 18: My screen-lock sound and keypad sound while dialing numbers is very low. How can I fix it?
A: Download "Quick Settings" application from Android Market and check system volume slider.
Q 19: When I open up the call screen (where I see the recent calls and callers), the calls won't appear in the list. What to do?
A: Probably you are using 3rd party launcher. Remove the dialer shortcut and re-add it.

Q 20: My Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect automatically after boot. How to fix it?
A: Disable fastboot in settings or check this solution.​​
You think you're addicted from flashing ROMs, checking forum the whole day and you feel like "Android" should be your second name? Well, here's something for fun

Performance Tweaks for Android Revolution HD
data_writeback journalism for /system, /data and /cache partitions.
This mod will turn ON data_writeback for all 3 partitions - system, data and cache. This will drastically improve I/O performance (mostly on write operations) at the expense of file system integrity in certain situations, like unexpected system shutdown. The risk is not extreme, but still bigger then regular. Use this to improve your system performance, but you flash it at your own risk!
Download here:
Android Revolution HD EXT4 Tweaks v.0.1
Force GPU rendering on 2D operations.
This mod is working similar to "Render GUI with GPU" option in Development Settings. Flashing this will force whole system to use GPU rendering (instead of CPU) for all kind of 2D/3D operations. This might improve 2D operations performance, but keep in mind that some apps are not working correctly with GPU rendering. After using this mod you no longer need to tick "Render GUI with GPU" in settings. Even if un-ticked it will be still working. Flash it at your own risk!
Download here:
Android Revolution HD GPU Rendering v.0.1​

one question,

Amazing job, Mike! If you, guys, can come up with a way of unlocking the bootloader without involving the HTC method (for warranty reasons) or get S-Off, I will be more than glad to contribute with a nice donation to your cause! Thanks!

In the OP it says see second post for a Gingerbread/No Sense rom, do you plan on releasing that for the Amaze as well? Thanks!
Oh nice Mike. We needed a stock ROM around here.
after reading the OP, a few questions:
1. It says that we should use the to-be linked radio with this ROM, will it be different then the stock one at this point?
2. Is this to be an OC ROM/kernel? If so, to what speed initially?
3. Will the ROM/kernel then allow UV with SETCPU?

1 we can't flash radio on this rom yet. The OP is referring to RILS. But we don't have real S-OFF yet, so we can't flash radios atm.
2 also we don't have custom kernel yet. But we thought, if we move in to the amaze forums we will speed up things a bit. It will come eventually. I hope so no OC in the meantime.
3 see 2 no custom kernel = no UV yet.
The OP used a template, all the links and goodies will be updated/changed when done/available. Just need some time. We start with Rom, we hope the rest will follow our lead
Everything will come step by step

AIR_For_ZU___Simplify_System_Update_Apps_Flash_ROM ___ULTRA_SLIM

AIR is a super script based on aroma, it is including Simplify System, Update Apps, Flash ROM (About 630MB ~ 880MB) functions.
If you are interested in my project, please visit http://xswxm.com/?p=1000, and make comments for it. Thanks!
VERSION: 1.20
CODENAME: xswxm
UPDATED: 2015-01-18
DOWNLOAD: MEGA​
ATTENTION​1. Applicable Scope and Disclaimer
AIR is only for official C6833_14.4.A.0.108_Customized_HK, C6833_14.4.A.0.118_VodaFone_UK and XL39h_14.4.A.0.108_China. Please do not try on other third party's ROM even it's based on official 108 or 118 version.
Although I have made some changes to support all the modules and ROMs mentioned above, while I have only tested AIR on C6833 running C6833_14.4.A.0.108_Customized_HK, I am not sure if it works on other modules or ROMs. Please be aware of that.If user using XL39H want to experience the ultra slim system, please flash official 108 ROM using the Flashtool, then simplify your system using the Simplify System function, and you will have the same experience as the Flash ROM function.
ROM simplified or installed by AIR is 99.9% official odexed ROM, only several files have been rebuilt because of the simplification recommended.
If AIR causes any issues, I will not be responsible for it.
2. Tips before Installation
You'd better backup your current system using RECOVERY.
Please uninstall the updates of the system apps of your current ROM before using Simplify System function to simplify current system.
If you use the the Simplify System function, it will delete some packages even you didn't select any item. Please be aware of that.
Google Apps recovered by AIR only include Contact Sync, Google+ and Play Store, if you want to use the full Google services, please delete all the Google Apps using the Simplify System, then flash a full Google services Package.
System flashed by AIR do not include SuperSU or SuperUser, but you can install or flash one.
Please make sure at least one IME in your ZU, otherwise the navigation bar won't work.
You'd better install at least one brower or file manger to install apps.
3. Common Issues
System flashed by AIR has ROOT and RECOVERY inside already, if not, please use the EasyRootTool ROOT your ZU and reinstall RECOVERY.
If there is no IME or file manger in your ZU, go to the Update Apps to flash an IME or the Root Explorer.
If the back button doesn't work, please go to Settings - Language & input then choose an IME and set it as default.
If your ZU can't connect to the internet, please go to the Settings - More - Internet settings and download the APN settings, or add APN settings manually.
If you got any problem for this installation, please WIPE your DATA and CACHE then install it again, or connect me for help.
Other imformation and Tips can be found when you are going to install it!

.::IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!::.
First: Before you start questioning and posting here, please do understand that you need to carefully read all these instruction below, not just first post (OP), but following several posts (#2,#3, #4, etc.) these posts are also part of this OP post. It is very very critical to read and have clear understanding how version of this ROM works, and how it can be customized, failure to not read all the instructions and not able to follow, you will get lost, most likely you will soft-brick your device.
Second: This is fully deodexed, pre-rooted with SuperSU included, KNOXless Stock Touchwiz ROM. If you looking for debloated 5.1.1 ROM, you may check @Zaphodspeaks 's ROM thread for debloated Stock Touchwiz 5.1.1 ROM if that's your thing. This ROM comes several ported apps from Galaxy Tab S2 and Galaxy Tab A. All these apps ported from their lollipop firmwares, ported, re-sized to fit our screen, and done many modifications all the way down to app smali files.
And lastly: Just because I put out a ROM here in Galaxy Tab 4 ROM thread, it does NOT mean I am your full-time tech support. Remember that this is provided as free of use, and if you are taking a custom ROM, Devs assume that you know what you are doing and have basic knowledge of doing so. Needless to say, if your tablet still under warranty, flashing custom ROMs voids your warranty. XDA is community driven forum, if you stuck, you can always ask here, and also using search box in XDA is your best friend.
Now the fun part
.:REREQUISITES::.
Of course, a brain would help
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 - SM-T330NU
PhilzTouch Recovery Installed - download @moonbutt74's PhilzTouch Recovery - Please note that I won't be supporting different custom recovery!
ROM File (JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] - See download section below)
Basic knowledge of what you're doing! (such as; how to flash a ROM, able to do nandroid backup/restore, know how to copy files to system and know how to give proper permission to files and app under root/system folder ..etc)
Patience is a virtue here; remember that because this is lollipop, first reboot would take anywhere between 15 mins to 20 mins.

.::INSTALL INSTRUCTION (CLEAN INSTALL)::.
Even if you are on V2.1, For V3.X, Full Wipe is still OBLIGATORY for proper installation! No dirty flash over v2.1!!
*Warning!: You need to follow these instruction step by step, if you do NOT, you will have problem!*
1. First thing first; Have you made full nandroid backup yet? if not, this is very good time to do it now.
2. Download JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] to your device's internal or microSD card that you can easily find it for flashing later on.
3. Reboot into PhilzTouch CWM Recovery
4. Do Factory Reset first in PhilzTouch recovery, and then also do the " install new ROM" option in PhilzTouch Recovery.
5. Go back and do Wipe Cache and also do Wipe Dalvik/Art too in PhilzTouch recovery - just to be safe side.
6. Flash JazzROM For Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (5.1.1) [SM-T330NU] ROM, and once it is done, click back key in recovery, and select reboot your system.
8. This is lollipop - first reboot seems like taking forever, but be patient here, you have to wait 15 min to 20 mins.
9. After it finishes the reboot, you may go thru your normal tablet setup (wifi, google account, Samsung account, time setup, etc).
10. After you done with step 9, you can now jump to next posts (post#2, 3, etc) below for additional setup and customization of the JazzROM.
.::KNOWN ISSUES/LIMITATIONS::.
This ROM is quite stable for daily drive, but like all custom ROMs, there's always some small issues and limitations, which I am NOT considering as big showstoppers:
Smart Manager works perfectly fine, but when you check storage and ram detail button in the app, it FCs, the reason is that this is from Tab S2 port, which is still based on 5.0.2, thus looking for 5.0.2 settings activities and our device is 5.1.1. Once 5.1.1 firmware available for Tab S2/Tab A, I will back ported our device again. So expect a fix for it - Fixed.
ToolBox has 12 apps limitation, that's how many apps you can able to add, and it is limited. Do not try to add more than, that it will crash your tablet. This is NOT a bug, just limitation of ToolBox.
As mentioned above, some ported apps you may see some little cosmetic imperfection in these ported apps, but consider that ported apps has 4:3 aspect screen ratio (Tab S2 / Tab A), while this tablet has 16:9 aspect screen ratio, so every effort being made to make it fit our tablet screen.
TouchWiz Launcher's A-Z option sorting is not included in original app (go check it out on Galaxy Tab A's and you will see it does not have A-Z sorting), Samsung decided to enable A-Z sorting in some of newest TouchWiz Home launcher, while it disabled in some others. So I went ahead and modified launcher.smali file to enable it. A-Z option for sorting works fine, but if you keep trying several times, it may not sort it correctly on landscape. Before you start asking that, remember that even Samsung disabled this feature, so don't complain it, take it as it is.
.::WHAT NOT TO EXPECT::.
Frequent updates.
Fancy Aramo installations (who got time for it!?).
Bugs free experiences.
Problems will be solved quickly/ultimately.
Individual/feature requests (I will listen, but no promise).
.::THANKS & CREDITS::.

.::APPS & CUSTOMIZATION FOR JazzROM::.
How to Enable S5 ToolBox and N4 SideKey in JazzROM
I have used following guide see here to edit both SecSettings.apk and framework.jar in our tablet. So both this SecSettings.apk and framework.jar updated in JazzROM.
In order to enable it, please follow this instruction link below - you need to download SQLite Editor from play store.
See Here for SQLlite instruction
I do not want copy and paste entire images, nor duplicate instructions here since @thereassaad already nicely outlined, just follow piece for S5 Toolbox and Sidekey for SQLite Editor, and don't forget to click reset button on notifacation in the settings, and then reboot. All stuff need to work is already added to SecSettings.apk and framework.jar.
Important!: Guys, it is case-sensitive, make sure you type as Toolbox, not ToolBox and it is SideKey, not Sidekey
so at the end, you should have like this;
.......;SideKey;Toolbox;SFinder;
How to Install Xposed in JazzROM
1. Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk - download here
2. Download xposed-v75-sdk22-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20151008.zip Wanam's Xposed for Samsung lollipop here - Important!!, remember you need 32bit one, not 64bit version.
2. Reboot into recovery and do full nandroid backup just in case.
3. Flash xposed-v75-sdk22-tw-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20151008.zip, and do wipe caches and whipe dalwik/art after that (just playing safe here)
4. Reboot is going to take sometime, so take a break, have coffee or glass of wine or something..
5. Once reboots, you have xposed installed (already activated, no need to do anything).
6. Be very very careful what xposed you use, make sure it works with lollipop, especially check if it works for Samsung lollipop ROM!, installing an xposed app that's not intended to work for Lollipop may soft-brick your tablet!

Courtesy of @pyromayniyak (make sure you thank to him), please see this post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63487537&postcount=145. Make sure make full nandroid backup in case you like to restore back your tablet to previous stage!
Needless to say, this will be included to next version of JazzROM.

.::Q&A::.
1. I followed your install instruction, got bootloop, samsung logo does not goes way, waited for 1 hour, still nothing, what the heck I am doing wrong..?
Well, there could be couple of a lot reason why so. However, if you tried several times and still got the same result, what I would recommend is start from scratch; what I meant is flash official 5.1.1 firmware via odin, and then flash PhilzTouch CWM Recovery - if you are having issue flashing PhilzTouch CWM Recovery, download it from moonbutt74 thread, copy it to your tablet, unzip it, and locate recovery.img, and using Flasfiy app flash it to your tablet. And finally, grab moonbutt74's bootable stock lollipop kernel and flash it, and then flash Supersu beta 2.49 top of it. At up this point, you should be running official 5.1.1 ROM with root and PhilzTouch CWM Recovery installed as your recovery. Now, come back here and flash this ROM following the instructions above. .​

2. Are you going to support or release your ROM for different variant of Tab 4 devices such as SM-T530/T530NU, SM-T532, SM-T331, SM-T337A, etc..?
My motto is if I don't have device, I don't support. Please do understand that. However, if someone or some developers willing to port this ROM to other Tab 4 device, they are more than welcome to do so as long as keep the ROM name and credits intact.​

3. I was able to install your ROM and all working perfect, but got some apps FCs, why?
This ROM has been fully tested for several weeks, all apps checks out fine. However, sometimes when installed first time, some apps tend to give you FCs, if it happens, do this step: Go to Settings --> Application Managers --> All, and locate the app that give you FC, and now click Clear Data and Clear Cache, and then reboot your tablet. Now check the app that gave FC and see if it works. If still an issue, send me the catlog.​

well, you already did debloated version, for now I am not going to debloat this ROM as I need some more customization and I don't know if I am going to end up needing some apps, libs, frameworks, etc...

I like where your going with this.. I don't have the Skills yet to pull something like this off..
Hell 3 weeks ago I never even Deodexed anything before.. I was up for many days in a row... Many hours watching myself brick my tablet over and over and over again..
I've been in front of my Galaxy tab non stop and man I have learned a lot in such a short time..
I do enjoy giving Tech support, even if they are morons...
I also take it you came across the same problem I had with Google Drive? Opening and Force Closing over and over and over again..lol
I really like how you completely rewrote the Updater-Script..

Some google apps in system folder for lollipop hates deodexing, you may thinking it must be Google thingy, but I believe it is how Samsung intercorparated art runtime in their device.
Trying something new, and soft-bricking tablet...that's how you learn man....so keep it up...
and yeah, I ended up completely rewrote the updater-script to more streamline.

Samsung Frankenstiened Dalvik and ART together.. Nasty mixture, but its made to make it damn near impossible to develop or modify..
There was not one single tool that did the job either.. I used several tools and strangely enough I got it right the first time... I had to make some changes in the Archi Kitchen though since it didn't support our device.. It should now with what I added to it.. When I wanted to use it to preroot, the default method wouldn't work on 5.1.1..
So I changed that as well by updating it..
jazz
Excellent job! Looks great, feels great. Very well done.
Thanks for putting it all together for us.

It worked after I installed it from the PlayStore. Until I needed to reboot my tablet, then it caused a constant reboot over and over again. I had to restore from backup. I don't really need Amplify though, so I'll leave it for now.
But my irblaster does not work. I've tried a few different apps, and none of them work. Will someone check to see if it works with this ROM on their tab so I know if it's just me or not.
Thanks in advance!

remember that originally irblaster was not there, @moonbutt74 made it available in kernel. Samsung somehow screw this up.
honestly, have not have chance to check or test it out.
have you tried Peel app (which replaces Samsung WatchOn). I had WatchOn on my Note 3, suddenly Samsung App promted for update and update it, and become Peel app.

Yes. I have tried WatchOn, Peel, Smart Remote, AnyMote, and a few others. It worked when I was on stock LP 5.1.1 with moonbutt74's kernel, but not working with this ROM.

check with @Zaphodspeaks and see if it works on his ROM or not. If it does not works in his ROM, means because of deodexing may causing it....I can't really tell for sure.

[DISCONTINUED][ROM][9.0][SM-N950F/D/DS] Lightheart OS [30/10/2020]

Lightheart 1.0 - The key to speed.​
Hi everyone. My name is Skulldron and for those of you who do recognise me, know me as the creator of Project Pixel, another one of the greatest ways to emulate the Pixel Experience, whilst keeping all the benefits of using OneUI and its stock optimized drivers as its base. Today I'm going to introduce something, different. Over the years of working on Touchwiz based ROMs, I've learnt the description of every little apk, every little permission, what it accepts and what it rejects, its pros and its cons. As a result of this experience, I have one of the best debloat lists out there, with each item on the debloat list, being tested, through extensive testing, and it goes over every file and every partition known in the OneUI OS. This exact same debloat script was used in Project Pixel, which has received positive review after positive review for how efficient and how lightweight OneUI became after the debloat. Today however, I present to you Lightheart OS, a new project that I will be building myself and updating monthly. Today I showcase Lionheart, the Lineage OS to my Cyanogenmod.
Key Features:
1. Heavily Debloated System: The debloat script that was made by me, has over 250+ debloated permissions, apks and other files.
2. Better Battery Performance due to Efficiency - With the removal of an incredible amount of bloat, along with better performance and lesser services, you should be looking at better SOTs and better standby times.
3. Kernel Power Control: With MTweaks and Magisk, you will be able to control your device’s clock speed and be able to force higher GPU and CPU Clock, when doing more intensive tasks such as gaming.
4. Better Kernel Performance - Due to the deepness of the debloat, the kernel now has more RAM and more space to be more efficient and allow it to focus on less threads at once.
5. Current October Patch with the promise of updates every month - Every month an update is released, the ROM will be updated along with it, with a time frame of 1-2 weeks.
6. Restored some stock Google Permissions - Some stock google framework was restored, such as the default setup wizard.
7. All Essential Samsung Features have been kept - All essential OneUI features have been kept alive, for the sole purpose of necessity.
8. Completely Deknoxed -The ROM has been Deknoxed and FRP lock measures have been disabled
9. VoLTE Supported
Individual Features:
1. AdAway
2. Eleven Music
3. Files GO
4. GBoard
5. Android Pie AOSP Emojis
6. Lightheart X Boot Animation
7. AOSP System Sounds
8. Samsung Gallery (Stripped Down and lightened to improve performance)
9. Samsung's Stock Camera with HDR parameter changes, debloated and additional video modes
10. SystemUI Tuner (Provides battery stats along with other useful customizations - Check QS icons and add it to QS Panel to view)
11. YouTube Vanced (Ad-free Youtube)
12. Mtweaks (Has Hardware Control - Similar to Kernel Adiutor but more tailored to Exynos)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: (Backup everything first, including contacts, photos, etc.)
1. Download the zip and download the latest Magisk (ROM will not boot if Magisk is not flashed due to encryption procedures)
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache
3. Flash the zip and flash Magisk.
Notes:
- To view Battery Stats and Storage, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.
- Set Trebuchet as default launcher, for better battery savings. OneUI Home was only included for its app switcher.
Changelog:
1.0 - Initial Release
If changes are made, they will be highlighted in the next post.

Downloading now so will give it a try. Thanks for the new Rom.
Very fast and smooth Rom.
Missing Samsung sync so I would recommend backing up apps like Phone, Messages, notes, calendar, etc before flashing so you can restore via titanium or another If you use samsung to backup these up as you won't be able to restore them.
I personally have installed the Samsung keyboard back on as I prefer this to Google for pen functions.
I also installed samsung store apk which allows me to update samsung apks and also assist with my Gear watch.
Defo worth a try to see for yourselves.
Would be nice to have some flashable options for those that need certain things.

Missing Samsung sync so I would recommend backing up apps like Phone, Messages, notes, calendar, etc before flashing so you can restore via titanium or another If you use samsung to backup these up as you won't be able to restore them.
I personally have installed the Samsung keyboard back on as I prefer this to Google for pen functions.
I also installed samsung store apk which allows me to update samsung apks and also assist with my Gear watch.
Defo worth a try to see for yourselves.
Would be nice to have some flashable options for those that need certain things.

Sweet. Since I've seen many users requesting for certain features back, I will make flashable zips to re-enable particular features and call them modules

It's one of the fastest ROM I've ever use. Buttery smooth, too
The lack of Samsung sync is not something to worry about. I use Smart switch and it work fine.
Thank you for this great Rom. I think there should be flashable zips like for wearable support or like for samsung sync support.
It is very good rom anyway. Again thank you very much.

Lightheart 1.0 - The key to speed.​
Hi everyone. My name is Skulldron and for those of you who do recognise me, know me as the creator of Project Pixel, another one of the greatest ways to emulate the Pixel Experience, whilst keeping all the benefits of using OneUI and its stock optimized drivers as its base. Today I'm going to introduce something, different. Over the years of working on Touchwiz based ROMs, I've learnt the description of every little apk, every little permission, what it accepts and what it rejects, its pros and its cons. As a result of this experience, I have one of the best debloat lists out there, with each item on the debloat list, being tested, through extensive testing, and it goes over every file and every partition known in the OneUI OS. This exact same debloat script was used in Project Pixel, which has received positive review after positive review for how efficient and how lightweight OneUI became after the debloat. Today however, I present to you Lightheart OS, a new project that I will be building myself and updating monthly. Today I showcase Lionheart, the Lineage OS to my Cyanogenmod.
Key Features:
1. Heavily Debloated System: The debloat script that was made by me, has over 250+ debloated permissions, apks and other files.
2. Better Battery Performance due to Efficiency - With the removal of an incredible amount of bloat, along with better performance and lesser services, you should be looking at better SOTs and better standby times.
3. Kernel Power Control: With MTweaks and Magisk, you will be able to control your device’s clock speed and be able to force higher GPU and CPU Clock, when doing more intensive tasks such as gaming.
4. Better Kernel Performance - Due to the deepness of the debloat, the kernel now has more RAM and more space to be more efficient and allow it to focus on less threads at once.
5. Current October Patch with the promise of updates every month - Every month an update is released, the ROM will be updated along with it, with a time frame of 1-2 weeks.
6. Restored some stock Google Permissions - Some stock google framework was restored, such as the default setup wizard.
7. All Essential Samsung Features have been kept - All essential OneUI features have been kept alive, for the sole purpose of necessity.
8. Completely Deknoxed -The ROM has been Deknoxed and FRP lock measures have been disabled
9. VoLTE Supported
Individual Features:
1. AdAway
2. Eleven Music
3. Files GO
4. GBoard
5. Android Pie AOSP Emojis
6. Lightheart X Boot Animation
7. AOSP System Sounds
8. Samsung Gallery (Stripped Down and lightened to improve performance)
9. Samsung's Stock Camera with HDR parameter changes, debloated and additional video modes
10. SystemUI Tuner (Provides battery stats along with other useful customizations - Check QS icons and add it to QS Panel to view)
11. YouTube Vanced (Ad-free Youtube)
12. Mtweaks (Has Hardware Control - Similar to Kernel Adiutor but more tailored to Exynos)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the zip and download the latest Magisk (ROM will not boot if Magisk is not flashed due to encryption procedures)
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache
3. Flash the zip and flash Magisk.
Notes:
- To view Battery Stats and Storage, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.
- Set Trebuchet as default launcher, for better battery savings. OneUI Home was only included for its app switcher.
Changelog:
1.0 - Initial Release
If changes are made, they will be highlighted in the next post.

Using root file manager (I use solid explorer) extract the zip and copy the folder and file in above link into Root-System-PrivApp and make sure the attributes are set to rw-r-r (as below) then reboot and select the keyboard in your settings.

Hello,
Xposed works on this beautiful rom?
I can't activate by masgik
Thanks
Great ROM. but can you make a version without YouTube vanced. The current version on the ROM is outdated so I want to install the latest version which has sponserblock.
Does root in this rom is by default. Or we can install without magisk.
I always prefer with no root.

1. Download the zip and download the latest Magisk (ROM will not boot if Magisk is not flashed due to encryption procedures)
Seems will not work , the rom itself don't have magisk preinstalled , try to install without it , if don't boot up then you need to flash magisk .
Is it clever to install custom kernel on this rom? Will i break something and is everything going to work just fine?
Thanks for the effort. Light ROMs are my favorite.
Anybody using banking apps on it? Google pay, revolut, etc?
Great ROM but he missing keyboard really gave me a hard time on the first wizard since I wasn't prepared. Could not restore all my stuff from Google account because of that and had to select all the apps to download one by one but that's OK. Galaxy store, Samsung account are missing and so the themes app but I actually don't care about themes. The banking apps and Google pay are working fine thanks to Magisk. Overall feels good.
