I would like to share my work. This is the first time that I post a ROM on XDA, please keep that in mind.

Wiz ***
This is an extremely debloated Samsung rom with absolutely minimal Samsung functionality. The basic ROM apps (dialer, messaging, contacts) are from Google. Only for Galaxy S8 international equinox (SM-950F). Personally I very much like the Samsung phones/hardware but I am not so fond of the software and bloatware. I also prefer to use a ROM which just has what I use. If you want Samsung stuff ... use another ROM !!!
Name
Originally I called this ROM "minirom" until pvillasuso used the term "wizgoogle" in this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...me-debloat-t3730681/post75271202#post75271202) post. So I decided to call it "GoogleWiz"
Features
The ROM contains (only) the following Samsung applications:
- Base: NRD90M.G950FXXU1AQL5
- Settings (you can't get rid of this unfortunately)
- Gallery (because of its integration with Camera)
- Camera (because it uses all hardware capabilities)
- minimal lockscreen
- Always On Display (Samsung - personally I like this feature a lot)
- Fingerprint & iris scanning for security
- Blue light filter
Others:
- Nova as launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher); IMHO still the BEST launcher out there
- Swiftkey as (only) keyboard (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey)
- Rooted with Magisk (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk)
- Magisk manager (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk)
- Latest Google Play services/store
- Bixby key is mapped to Nova "home"
- Google dialer (as of v2)
- Google contacts (as of v2)
- Google messaging (as of v2)
- Google clock
- Google calendar
- Google calculator
- optimized build.prop
- based on December 2017 security update from Samsung (AQL5)
- huge CscFeature list (in system/csc/feature.xml)
- huge SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE list (see system/etc/floating_feature.xml)
- Google pixel boot animation (I don't like the Samsung one)
ROM does not contain country specific CSCs. All settings are generic. To be clear again: there is no other Samsung stuff: no Samsung account, no Samsung appstore, no Samsung Themestore, no Samsung device manager, no Samsung calendar, no KNOX, no Samsung XYZ ... Technically it is possible to even remove the Gallery from the ROM but I left it in due to its integration with Samsung's camera (removed in v3). Everything else (file manager, browser, maps, ...) you can download from the Google Play store. Your choice.
Before installing this ROM, please make sure that "OEM unlock" is enabled in your developer settings (if you don't understand what this means then probably this ROM is not for you). ROM is reasonably small (less than 1 GB). Install from TWRP (wipe system, data, cache, dalvik). Other devs, please feel free to (re)use this for your own work ... I am not asking anything from anybody, no donation, no thanks, no beer ... you don't even have to mention that you (re)use this. If you download the standard Google stuff from the play store (Gmail, Google+, Drive, ...) then you should have a phone very close to a Google Pixel. Choice is up to you. I will try to support questions / feedback but I have a busy job and cannot spend all my free time on this. If people do like it though, I will update using Samsung's monthly security updates (that is something which I do for myself anyway). I use this as my own personal daily driver (all the rest coming from the Google Play store). I will not answer questions such as "Can you please add Samsung feature X,Y,Z" ... I have deliberately removed them. If you want Samsung, go and use a Samsung ROM. There are instructions further down on how to create your own variant of the ROM so you can do this yourself if you want to add stuff. I will not answer PMs (don't have time to look at them). I have attached also a bash script (as .txt file). This is the script which I personally use to generate the ROM starting from a standard Samsung system.img. If you are a DEV, you can study this to see how I create this ROM. Again, feel free to (re)use.
Disclaimer
The usual disclaimers apply: no warranty, installing this will trip KNOX, install at your own risk, ... I am not responsible for soft or hard bricks. Your phone must have TWRP to install this ROM.
Performance
If you want slightly faster performance, enable the developer settings and then set the animation speeds to 0 (zero). Also enable GPU 2D hardware rendering. The first boot will take time (a few minutes) as all apk files will be run through the dex2oat compiler.

Building a variant of this ROM
Instructions (for linux) on how to build your own variant of this rom are in:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75185320&postcount=57
(sorry, no script for Windows ... I don't use Windows ... but the linux script should be easy to adapt into a windows script)
Screenshots
Screenshots in attach. Note: the black screenshots are taken after Subtratum theming and with my personal home screen configuration (so this is not the default if you install the ROM). The default has white applications.

Stock based roms do not require source code.... All looks good here
I just flashed your rom and what can I say.. Awesome rom so far so good! Im gonna test a lit bit more to see but is very stable ive been using for 4 hours and is very fluid and I dont like samsung apps so dont bother me at all. but there is only one thing I want you to know, since you debloat your rom, and delete com.samsung.faceservice and another apk called face, the setting app takes like 3 to 4 seconds to open up, and that is because those apk are missing. Im telling you that because Im a fan of debloating and I tried one time to delete those apps and happpend that. so if you could just please to fix that lag of setting Ill appreciate that nice rom!! keep it up!

You are right, I noticed it too.
"Settings" app launched at about 2-3 seconds slower on me.
"Lock screen and security" window takes 3-4 seconds to load up.
Not of a big deal, but it would be better if Settings could be launched quicker.
Magisk's Safenet check fails also. Im not sure why. I clean flash this rom and everything is stock.
Also, the width covers the whole edge of the screen, making Timer, Notifications "broken" on every corner of the screen.
---------- Post added at 06:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------
Sim Card manager is force closing.
Love this debloated rom, but i think you could check on the issues we previously posted, including this sim card manager force closing. thank you.
rm -rf system/app/SimSettingMgr
You removed this system app , I think you've removed some essential system apps that's causing performance drop
and force close issues.
MTP Via usb cable doesn't work, Windows can't detect the phone via cable, even adb isn't working.
Looks good , thanks @ foobar66 !
Gonna wait ( for the coming "fixes" regarding the last comments ) to try it
This is what I was looking for , a really minimal samsung ROM
Cheers

Maybe the devolper should consider those tips in a next update also when i.want to reboot it take some time to reboot... Dont know why
Have u deleted Samsung Task Manager and all those which are there by default? I mean Samsung SPCM, which u can also see on Priv-app folder on most ROMs.
Thanks and regards
Hi all, thanks for the feedback. I am currently uploading v1 to AndroidFilehost. As soon as the upload is completed, I will update the OP with the link.
v1 (2018-01-06):
- fix lag starting up settings
- fix lag in settings for lockscreen/security
- included SimSettingsMgr
- included MTP
Personally I do not use MTP. I always upload files to my phone using ADB. So someone should test this.
ADB does work for me (on Linux), obviously you have to enable USB debugging in developer's settings (and on Linux you need proper UDEV configuration for ADB).
Also, note that I only have a Linux box. I do not use Windows. So I cannot test anything on Windows.
Please also set resolution of display to WQHD.
OP is updated. Safetynet check bug is still there. I have no idea right now why this fails.

Thank you very much for sharing this rom. I have one question, apart of security updates, will it be possible to make this rom once oreo final rom is released?
Yes, I will try when the final Oreo comes out (probably middle/end of January).
Downloading , thanks @foobar66
Cant wait to customize and try this out
Cheers

Dear foobar66. I am waiting for such kind of firmware very long time... But it is a pity this firmware doesn't match for s8+..
Could You help with launching this rom on S8+ for FD version.
And second thing. Could You add screen mirroring to your firmware. We have modern device and mirroring on modern TV is very useful thing

I don't have an S8+ so I can't test anything.
I can explain how to do a build (if you're familiar with linux).
I haven't linux. Please do it. I can test.
And what about screen mirroring?

Actually My friend has same model and similar tablet. Also has root access (root with rootmaster). But we don't known how to get img from his tablet. Anyway to get img from this tablet? In working tablet we install nanoid backup online apk and tried to backup nanoid. But not support for md706 model. Also tried rom manager, titanium backup pro and my backup pro, but cannot backup img.
We had read "CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 for Allwinner A10 LY-F1/TREQ Tablets" but not dare to try. Cos some device got bootloop.

hello i have a smartpad mp720m mediacom is the Italian version of your tablet but according to some research I did on the internet appears to be identical to the md706 of Chinese production.

I have a question for you ... can you tell me if the mac address of your wi-fi card changes every time you activate the connection and turn it off? My tablet ...... has this problem and I do not understand what's causing it.
When active the wi fi I get a mac I can see in the status menu, after I turned off and on the wi fi and update status I can see a new mac with the last 3 pairs of different numbers.
This new mac I can see it in my router in the list of connected users.
You can check if you have the same problem on your models?
thank you!

hardware
800mhz cortex a5 msm7227a processor, adreno 200 gpu, 512mb ram (400mb free in system).
Full qwerty keyboard, 3mp back camera fixed focus w/out led flash, qvga capacitive display (5 touchpoints).
This was all done on the i827d from telus. I was not able to retrieve the odin stock factory image from checkfus though.
The phone is retailing for $80 cad right now, making it one of the least expensive android devices on the market with these specs.
Internally it is very similar to the galaxy mini 2, which still retails for around the equivalent of $125usd.
root
confirmed root method here, with poot exploit package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236445
do not require a pc. This will inject the su binary into your device. Then you need to manually install chainfire superuser and restart your phone.
free unlock
no root required
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958859
my i827d (telus) never gets the 6th screen, but after nvdatainitialize, my device is fully unlocked already.
other notes
some people have ported cwm for this device, but at the moment there are no custom roms for this worth installing, so i wouldn't bother.
Samsung appears to be using an ondemand governor for some weird reason. Interactive governor is present and gives it a nice boost. Touchwiz launcher appears makes the phone sluggish.
i827d stuff
telus firmware code for 2.3.6
sgh-i827zsdtls
pda/phone: I827dtlle4
csc: I827doyble4
telus firmware has built in tethering support. If the at&t one doesn't i can dump the rom.

this looks almost identical to jena (mini 2): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30317179
this looks a lot like the mini 2. This is probably a good starting point here: https://github.com/thewhisp/
jena's partition naming from nandroidonline
https://github.com/ameer1234567890/...ter/part_layouts/raw/partlayout4nandroid.jena
if the partition maps match, boot image is partition 8, recovery is 12, and efs is 19.

Few remarks...
Aroma is in CN.
Setup process after successful boot is impossible to finish.
Since there are 216 apps, I guess there are lots of bloatware.
Couldn't check by myself, sorry.

Unfortunately the developer, from disk to disk, one and the same error. Too many applications for the system partition А5_UL. Plus encrypted system that does not give to delete part of the application for correct installation. I have repeatedly wrote on this topic, but the team S. Team has not fixed the problem.

Hello to everyone, my englisch is not the best one, i'm sry for that
I have Bricked device here. 64gb MTK with china Mobile branding.
It's unlocked, rooted, twrp recovery.
It worked fine with root. But than i wanted to flash new Rom (xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote4_7.1.19_v8-6.0.zip) from TWRP. Unfortanerly it's broke after 2 sec than reboot. The system startet normaly! Next day, I wanted to try it again. But i could not start the twrp rec. The device did start any more! Bootloop i see only the mi logo in the middle of Display after 30-60 sec reboot.
So recovery do not work. Fastboot work pretty fine.
I tried already pretty much.
I flashed almost all available Fastboot Roms with few different methods Smart Phone Flash*Tool & Miflash. With original cust.img and with modified one.
Almost every time the flash was successful in normal time (miflash
420 sec & smart phone flash tool about 200sec) still Bootloop.
Thanks for help greets

I have sent my phone back to xiaomi already,now it's fix.
Ps.for those people have this problem and u don't want to take risk .wipe my bootloader so that the warranty is true then sent it to xiaomi.
Anyway,thx bro,appreciate your help.
Hiya folks! I'm trying to play with the firmware files for the P30 Pro, and have hit a roadblock. While I've gotten to extract the system.img (and all the other .img images) from update.app, I'm not able to mount or extract it using any of the usual tools because they are using EROFS file system.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but haven't been able to spend much time on figuring out how to mount or access EROFS file systems yet. Has anyone gotten this figured out already? Any help will be great, thanks!
It started with that question, leading to finding the solution to mount the system.img, building mkfs.erofs and trying out a system.img etc.
I do not intend to work much on this, at least for quite a while owing to RL situations. In case anyone wants to build on this, please go ahead - everything I've used has a git that is linked appropriately
ph03n!x said:
In case anyone's looking to mount the erofs images from the stock firmware, here's what you have to do -
Download and extract UPDATE.APP from the firmware zip, and use splitupdate binary/ perl script or Huawei Update Extractor. (I have linked to the tools I have tried or used in the past)
Use simg2img to convert the system.img (or product.img or vendor.img) to raw format. simg2img is a part of android fsutils
Code:
sudo apt install android-tools-fsutils
You will need a linux box or VM with Kernel 5.x running (erofs support is added from 4.20, but I am running 5.x) - mount the raw image using
Code:
sudo mount -t erofs -o loop system.ext4.img /home/test/mnt/try2
(The "-t erofs" is optional - will work just fine with sudo mount -o loop system.ext4.img /home/test/mnt/try2)
You will get the erofs image mounted in the folder you've specified, and you can browse through it
Note that erofs images are not meant to be editable. If you want to modify the system.img, extract it's content and create a new system.img using the mkfs.erofs binary (I had linked to the source code). You'll of course need an unlocked bootloader to flash (or boot) the modified image

For building mkfs.erofs, here's what you need to do (mine is a Ubuntu 19.04 machine)
Code:
git clone https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs-utils.git -b dev
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
You will have the output in the mkfs/ folder.

Hiya folks! I'm trying to play with the firmware files for the P30 Pro, and have hit a roadblock. While I've gotten to extract the system.img (and all the other .img images) from update.app, I'm not able to mount or extract it using any of the usual tools because they are using EROFS file system.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but haven't been able to spend much time on figuring out how to mount or access EROFS file systems yet. Has anyone gotten this figured out already? Any help will be great, thanks!

Current tools aren't working with EROFS, we will need new ones, compatible with EROFS.
Update as of today -
I have cloned erofs-utils git and have compiled mkfs for creating EROFS images. Will work on it whenever I have time to see if I can get an img to mount...
UPDATE 2 - SUCCESS!
In case anyone's looking to mount the erofs images from the stock firmware, here's what you have to do -
Download and extract UPDATE.APP from the firmware zip, and use splitupdate binary/ perl script or Huawei Update Extractor. (I have linked to the tools I have tried or used in the past)
Use simg2img to convert the system.img (or product.img or vendor.img) to raw format. simg2img is a part of android fsutils
Code:
sudo apt install android-tools-fsutils
You will need a linux box or VM with Kernel 5.x running (erofs support is added from 4.20, but I am running 5.x) - mount the raw image using
Code:
sudo mount -t erofs -o loop system.ext4.img /home/test/mnt/try2
(The "-t erofs" is optional - will work just fine with sudo mount -o loop system.ext4.img /home/test/mnt/try2)
You will get the erofs image mounted in the folder you've specified, and you can browse through it

I had come across that link earlier, but that is for compiling mkfs for arm/ arm64...
Got what I needed, mission accomplished
So have you actually modified system and packaged it back up as erofs and booted it?

I do not have an unlocked bootloader yet - I have gotten as far as editing and recreating the EROFS image. One of these days I'll get the bootloader unlocked too :good:

Be careful with this kind of stuff after unlocking, Huawei devices are tricky as hell. Afaik Magisk already support EroFS, so it might be better to use that.
Of course,that's if you don't want to create some kind of custom rom, based on stock.

That is why I have two active phones, plus a few more right from the legendary HD2 to fall back on... what fun is it if you don't experiment with the flashy new hardware?!
I don't know when I will make credible progress on anything at all now though - am relocating to a different country shortly - to the home of Huawei
Hey! Congratulations and thank you for the time and effort you spent on this.
Also, It's awesome to see another LEO user! Mine died a while back, but that was the modders heaven!
I've got an unlocked device and rooted using Magisk.
Root Explorer or any other root tools available today cannot read the system partition. It shows as free space is 0 MB.
Actually, I can see the content inside /system but I cannot move anything to it - Like patching the hosts file.
Any clue on how to achieve that?

Hi Pretoriano,
Nice to see you on dead land. Remember those days when I was using Mate 10 Pro. Anyways let's move on and please guide us how to use magisk to push something in to system or remove / replace.
I'm rooted and looted on P30 Pro:laugh:
Thanks in advance,

Just read Magisk documentation, it's easy to build yourself simple modules. Also you can get some examples from available modules.

Yes, Pretoriano80 is right - EROFS by design is not meant to be modified. While I might take sometime later on to create a modified system.img, it'll be just an academic exercise - Magisk can easily add/ replace the contents of /system during boot, making system.img mods passe :angel:

Is it possible to compile/assemble such software piece for Windows, or its unrealistical? There's millions of examples to explore ext4 images, but 0 about erofs.
I mean, we see sources. in C... i guess it should be still possible to translate it to something portable in Python or simply compile some component on Windows

I will explore this when I find time.. relocating between countries at the moment. That said, please do not hold your breath - I'm more comfortable with Linux than with Windows. But I'll still give it a shot!

Thanks @ante0 for his mkfs.erofs arm build.
How do you convert system.img to raw img? System partion is erofs can you tell the trick clearly? With method... Plz
Has anyone tried this with WSL v2? Curious to see if it works.
