Great news! Thanks for bringing Android 12 to this device!
I just reading the installation instructions and there are some questions:
1. The instructions don't mention wiping the system/data partition. Does this mean that my device will work as before, that I will not have to reinstall my apps and data after upgrading? My device is neither rooted, nor do I use anything like Magisk.
2. The instructions say:
"Note: If you previously had any Google Apps add-on package installed on your device, you must install an updated package before the first boot of Android! If you did not have Google Apps installed, you must wipe the Data partition (or perform a factory reset) to install them."
That confuses me: when I installed LOS 18.1, I also installed the MtG package, that was available for the P4 at that time. After that, I never installed anything else via adb, I only updated what was offered in the PlayStore or by the OTA updater function.
How should I interpret that instruction:
A) I need to install the latest MtG, that is available for LOS 18.1, and then I can install LOS 19 plus MtG for LOS 19.
B) Installing LOS 19 plus the appropriate MtG at the same time (=before the first booting) is sufficient to make the system work again.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Simply - boot into LOS 19 recovery
- Goto advance factory reset Format Data
- Then apply Update via ADB
- Reboot to recovery
- Apply MTG Packg [Gapps](https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.html) for LOS 19
- Boot into system

Correct. Again. Follow the wiki upgrade guide and all will be fine.

I had a problem with the March 17 update of my P4a. Thus, I didn't update the P4 that is also in my household. The problem is with visual voicemail failing. I created an issue here: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/4523
Does anyone know if this also happened with the P4? I imagine the move to LOS19 would carry the same problem, since (I think) this update https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_Dialer/+/325978/ caused the issue.
Thanks for your work on this & keeping my old V20 useful.

That worked out very well. Thank you!
A few things I have not been able to figure out yet:
1. I can't find the quick setting tile for system profiles.
2. If the lockscreen's clock is set *not* to use two lines, it sticks to the upper left corner of the screen. The same is true for the "always-on-screen".
3. The owner's information used to be displayed directly beneath the clock and date, taking only one line. Now it is displayed at the button, taking more than one line.
4. How to change the white background when entering the unlock code?
I guess some, if not all of these things have not yet been implemented.

4: It was possible in A11.
3: Well, it looked better in A11.
2: Hm, why?
1: The system profiles are usable, there's just no tile for the quick settings. These are all quick setting tiles that I can see:

Hello guys...does this rom support VoLTE or VoWi-Fi? I don't know why, but if i insert the same SIM into my other phone, i have both of these services active...but not in my Pixel phone.

If stock supports it for your carrier, then yes. If not, no.

Thank you. So the answer is "No, it doesn't support VoLTE ot VoWi-Fi", since stock android 12.1 doesn't support . In my area the GSM signal is weak, VoWi-Fi was great on the other phone. So sad that Google decides to block some functions on different markets.

An old security issue has risen again: profiles should not switch while the device is locked.
Why? Because of this:
- create a profile with no screen lock.
- set a trigger for that profile: activate when connecting to a known wifi
- turn off wifi, switch to normal profile and make sure device is locked
- swipe down quick settings and activate wifi
- after a few seconds, wifi will connect, the new profile will be activated and the device will be unlocked without having to enter the unlock PIN!
I think this is a serious security issue, because any one who will find your "lost" phone and reaches the area covered by that specific wifi, will have instant access to your unlocked phone!

That's intended behavior.
If you set up a profile to automatically unlock the device when you are at Wi-Fi, you can expect that anyone using the device would have that, how should we know it's out of your hands?

how should we know it's out of your hands?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's exactly the point: you can't, but you also can not be sure that it's the rightful owner who holds the phone in his hands when the profile switches and the device unlocks!
I agree that there is a point in making things as convenient as possible for the user. But convenience and security exclude each other.
So, what about an extra option that, when activated, will not switch profiles while the device is locked? This option could be hidden in the developers options, so normal users are not even bothered to take care of it.
I remember this "feature" in LOS 16, and it was fixed, and I am surprised to see it again.

Thanks for the hard work. Will there be an update that bypass the screenlock when double press power button to launch the camera? In stock android 12 it doesn't require to unlock.

The camera app now stores its pictures in "pictures" instead of "dcim/camera". Is there a way to change this path to the old setting?

Starting with the very last 18.1 update, and continuing through now, with the 19.1 upgrade...
I can manually create shortcuts on the homescreen, but none of my apps can do it. In fact, when I did an OTA update of the last 18.1, it deleted all the widgets and shortcuts created by various apps. My browser cannot create shortcuts. Neither can the "Shelter" app, which I use to put a few "big brother" type apps into my work profile as a sandbox.
Am I missing some permission that I should change? What allows apps to create shortcuts?
Everything else works fine. Love this OS; been using it for years now!

Perfect ROM for the Pixel 4, thank you so much!
Question though: is SOLI/RADAR working?
I can't find motion sense feature, and AOD only has the option to be on (or even off - no 'tap to wake' or motion sensing).
Cheers

v3A
NOTE
The first boot will take a lot of time! Screen will be glitchy, bootvideo will be laggy and you may not even see anything except for black screen but this is normal and doesn't affect the device in any way. This only happens on the first boot because the encrypted kernel and bootloader try to reject the device but it boots anyway and everything will be OK in the second boot.
v3A
• Based on latest AndroidTV OS, latest Security patches.
• Google Play Works
• All Google Apps Work!
• Recommendations work great! To turn off go to Settings - Home
• Casting Works with Airscreen
• Fully Compatible with A95X Max!
• atvXed up with Multiple USB drivers!
v3B To-Do:
Add USB drivers
Add Navbar and Status Bar
Change Settings shortcut to TVSettings
Change App Drawer Wallpaper
Add some more preinstall apps

Rom is *meh*, as it completely throws away the stock android Oreo layout and switches to a straight up TV Box setup like a Roku. Most apk's refuse to work with this setup. The included Youtube app sucks and needs to be REMOVED FROM THE ROM as a system app or at least replaced with YT Vanced. Also, Chrome is simply gone...and you cant find it in the "store" either. The apk can be manually installed with a USB/SD card. Netflix app installed within the store does not work with this rom so its like what are we doing here?... but there is a work around. There is no option to boot straight to recovery either, if there even is one. We need TWRP for this to let us do what we want...Get rid of the Android TV BS and let people install their own launcher and you will profit more than just re-skinning the stock OS with this.

Then don't use it... I use it because of the Android TV layout. He was very up front in the beginning as to what this was and what would and would not work. No 3rd party box is going to work with Netflix or Amazon Apps at this time due to widevine DRM.
If what you have described is what you want, then by all means make your own ROM.

Read the title again maybe?
This is an AndroidTV OS and no it's not BS. Maybe it's only you who likes to use a mouse and keyboard on a tv. This is meant for those who don't want the airmouse BS and want a clean look, to have the real AndroidTV Box and not just a phone-UI Android Box and not the *meh* launchers that are meant for phone screens.
All apks work, if it works in the phone rom, it works in ATV. 'Maybe' you're doing something wrong or lack the knowledge of apps installation.
The google play store is meant for AndroidTV, it shows apps which are compatible with your remote, not mouse or keyboard.
Also, Netflix thing, everybody knows you need a Netflix certified box for it, it's even mentioned on their website.
And everybody knows you can use Aptoide Store for other apps that aren't on play store.
If you want your own launcher, go ahead make a ROM but please don't call my work a 'simple reskin' because I am working my ass off for a box that's totally encrypted to the core and has a 'meh' phone UI.
So, please don't think I'm playing copy and paste here, I've worked hard on this and if my work is *meh*, please use another ROM (if it exists).
Thank you for the feedback on v3A

Did I ***** and complain? I simply stated some of this rom's caveats and giving a heads up to people who might prospectively install this not realizing its going to completely change the OS to a dedicated Kodi box.
No browser at all? Youtube that you cant get rid of? If you dont like my opinion you can straight up not listen to it. I doubt you even installed it in the first place or you wouldn't be responding with your sh*t posts.

You can install Puffin Browser from Google Play. It's the best TV Browser out there, 100% remote compatibility.
It's pre-rooted, you can easily uninstall YouTube if you know what root means. AptoideTV Store is there to help.
I thought I included webXperience, It's our own browser. If I didn't, I'll do it in the next release which is going to shut everybody up because as I mentioned, this is the first release and the next will be address all the issues you mentioned and the features that I mentioned.
If you want a phone rom on a tv box, please go elsewhere because this is an AndroidTV thread, please don't argue here, the mods take notice of everything.
Thank you for understanding.

I am familiar with rooting aka administrative privileges over apps/os and have had many phones/tablets/matricom boxes all eventually rooted with either magisk or super su, some I actually paid for. This rom doesnt allow me to uninstall anything, just disable which is not the same. How can I grant root access to any app, such as bloatware removal tools? There is no root management on this thing. (that I am aware of?) and there is no recovery I can see to get into to flash anything besides the temp TWRP method with an sd card + paper clip which has not worked with anything on this rom.

Try switching on the root switch from settings and reboot.
Another tip, install SuperSU 2.79 and it will fix your root management issues.
The recovery is stock, just like the original ROM. Use quick reboot app to reboot to recovery.
If it still doesn't work, I'll double check and fix anything if wrong. As I said, this is the first release so expect issues unless you know how to fix things but don't worry, the v2B or v2F (whatever I name it) is going to fix all the issues. Trust me, you'll never feel the need to use Navbar and Statusbar again with the new build.

Switching off/on root switch doesn't do anything even with restarting.
SuperSu 2.79 does not successfully flash in temp TWRP with paperclip method or with stock recovery (see pic).
Since there is no root management, quick reboot and other root required apps install but dont work.
Ad-Away also will not save host files either, and I prefer to use that in combination with chrome over Puffin.
If I pissed you off with my earlier post, I apologize and that was not my intent. I understand this rom is pretty much in beta at this point but its very frustrating when nothing works for me, pretty much at all except for what worked with the stock OS.
FYI I have the v81 board.

It doesn't matter, it doesn't install either way (flashing vs apk).
All I can think of is to completely re-flash the new link firmware over my version I installed when you made it first available, maybe there is a difference?

Thanks for letting me know, it's strange it's not working for you. My friend reported it working. I'll fix the su in the new version. Meanwhile, you can flash stock rom because I don't want you to get any issues.
New build will be ready in a week or so and it's going to be great!
Thanks for all the feedback.

If you watch this video, you can see that Nicholas tested that the ROM is rooted. That's why I said, I don't know why it's not working for you.
https://youtu.be/hnliXmly7WY
Maybe you can try switching root switch off, reboot, then on and reboot.
I'll update the su anyway, nobody should be getting any problems but this box is one hell of a fighter. They've encrypted everything! I could only get access to system because kernel, recovery and everything else was encrypted.

Re-flashing the newer firmware link over last weeks firmware link allowed SuperSu apk to install successfully. Apparently we are good to go now...

I spoke too soon lol. SuperSu 2.79 installs after a fresh firmware flash but bootloops (waiting 20 minutes and still stuck on logo screen). Re-flashing and installing SuperSu 2.82 does the same thing. Oh well.
Re-flashing the image brings its back but just beware root doesnt work. I give up, good luck to everyone getting root.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][9] LineageOS4Microg 16.0 (by Bernie_nix)

Rom Built by Bernie_nixKnown issues:
USB-C headphones work for music, watching videos, etc. They don't work in the phone app...yet. (working on this)
Some users report VOIP calls don't work properly. YMMV. Skype, Whatsapp, Nextcloud Talk, working great for me.
Automatic updates not yet implemented but will be in a future build.
You tell me.
Install Instructions(If coming from stock or another rom):
Prerequisites: Coming from stock rom with bootloader unlocked, Developer settings enabled, android debugging enabled.
(1) ADB reboot bootloader,
(2) Fastboot boot twrp.img
(3) Install copy A/B partitions zip,
(4) Select Wipe button, Advanced Wipe, Choose: Dalvik/ART Cache, Data, Internal Storage, System. Then Swipe to Wipe all of these.
(5) Select Back arrow button
(6) Select Format Data Button. Type yes
(7) Select Install button. Choose rom zip. Swipe to confirm flash.
(8) Press back arrow button 2x to get back to main screen. Select Wipe button. Select format data button. Type yes.
(9) Reboot. Phone will mention "no os installed." Ignore it. Proceed with reboot. Phone will boot twice, then take you to the lineage recovery screen. Use volume down button to select Factory data reset, press power button, select yes to delete data. Phone will reboot into lineageos4microg.
DO NOT install twrp installer/orange fox installer until after phone boots into lineageos4microg or it will not boot. After you have setup lineageos, you can then reboot into twrp and install orange fox or twrp and magisk if you choose. Do not ever install any GAPPS on this ROM.
Upgrade Instructions(If coming from one of my previous builds):
(1) ADB reboot bootloader,
(2) Fastboot boot twrp.img
(3) Select Install button. Choose rom zip. Swipe to confirm flash.
(4) Select Wipe button, Advanced Wipe, Choose: Dalvik/ART Cache
(5) Reboot(6) If you had Magisk installed, you can then reboot into TWRP/Ofox and flash magisk.zip
Tips for Use
1. Root can be enabled in this build by going to Developer Settings->Root Access->Apps and ADB
2. To turn off battery led when charging, Settings>Apps & notifications>Notifications>Battery Light
3. To set up Microg,
(1) open MicroG app,
(2) press self-check, press battery optimizations ignored and allow,
(3) go back one screen, select unified nlp settings, configure location backends, press the checkbox next to mozilla location service and ok, configure address lookup backends, press checkbox next to nominatum and ok,
(4) then go through Google services from top to bottom and enter your information.
(5) Enable location from pull-down shade. Open maps, get your location. Go back to Microg. Run self-check. All boxes should show a check.
(6) Microg is setup in less than 5 minutes and fully working.
(7) Turn off location from pull-down shade bc they're tracking you 4. Want a better GPS experience? Install Deja Vu Location Service, GSM Location Service and Radiocells.org Unified Network Location Provider Backend from F-Droid. Works great with Google Maps or OSM.
5. Looking for a great camera? Try Hypercam for Moto G7 from gcambrasil at https://gcambrasil.com.br/motorola
1. After installing, go to internal storage, create folder "gcam" (without quotes), create folder "Configs" inside of "gcam," and place the Pixelmod_byJGB.xml (attached) file in that folder.
2. Open up Hypercam, double tap on black space near camera button, load Pixelmod_byJGB.xml file.

hi im really interested in this rom but If twrp is already my permanent recovery, this rom won't install correctly?
edit.. tried it anyway since this is a secondary phone, figured i didnt have much to lose, followed instructions to the TEE, and it installed just fine.

Thanks for your efforts, I've been enjoying it, it's hard to find a rom that offers a little privacy from google, most things are working just fine, one thing I've noticed is that video is super super dark, No matter if it's stock camera or open camera but that's all I've came across in the issues department so far

Hypercam works like a charm, thank you for the suggestion! does hyper cam rely on anything google related like services or frameworks or binarys? (not sure what to call it since im not a developer) i'm wondering because I own a pixel 3a and im thinking of installing graphene os but any apps that rely on those ran on those will not work on graphene

Hypercam is ported from gcam so YMMV. Given that it works on this ROM with microg, if it has any hooks they probably aren't deep. I'd give it a go

I've been a user of root explorer (pro) for seven+ years or so now. I side loaded the apk that I extracted from a previous setup on my phone and it works perfect. Some may already know that but just figured I'd share. Awesome job on this rom! Appreciate you sharing your builds!! :good:

Couple questions.. What busy box are you using and where did you get it? I've been using Osmosis’s magisk module busy box for so long idk where to even begin. haha. I attempted to install one from fdroid but it failed install. Can I flash his busy box in recovery? Probably not because we are using the LOS built in root instead of magisk correct? Would all hell break loose if I flashed magisk root now and something would possibly get messed up? Thinking if that's what I wanted I would have had to flash it in the beginning so it would over ride the other root...?
This rom runs better than anything besides ugly stock moto on my device. I was off work yesterday so I started messing with my device, hours went by and my battery barely moved at all. Not having Google play services really saves a good bit of juice. Havoc has spoofing now too. I vote that it becomes mandatory for all roms to have signature spoofing. :victory: Should call it the ImNOtgoingback rom or something. I’ve used micro g and fdroid before on previous devices but never for as long as I've been using this. Im like a binge crackflasher nowadays instead -vs- back when Euroskank CM10 bacon was on and popping every morning at around 6am central time the world would all flash. One last thing.. Do you decrypt your data or leave it encrypted? Reason I ask is I was wondering what method you do or would do if you wanted to decrypt?
This rom really runs great! Anyone who hasn't tried this yet should!
Edit
Ps: I've used many great gcams but HyperCam is most definitely at the top of my list. It reminds me of the pictures my Pixel XL used to take. Awesome camera app! Thanks for recommending it and sharing links!

not being picky, but can we have a regular LOS build please? I mean, without microG.
The last syberhexen one is dated 2019-10-01 so it would be nice to have an update to it.

You're right, but it's not easy to be a maintainer - and use your free time to resolve problems for others.
Maybe you should try to create your own build using code created by more advanced users synced with latest LineageOS repo.
If you're interested in that, here's an attached manifest file which would build working LineageOS 16.0 for ocean with February security patch - I'm using such one right now(built 3 days ago), but with microg. It's all possible thanks to LineageOS team and Dark98 (and many others) work, as you can see.
Good luck

Not from me. I build this for personal use, share it and have no interest in a vanilla los build. Robson is correct. Go with his build of you don't want microg.

Thank you for your kind words! I use busybox from osmosis via magisk module; yes, I enjoy magisk on this rom. Busybox (osmosis) actually makes apps like Titanium Backup work great if you've purchased a non-Google play license file from them. This rom is my personal build that I uploaded to xda and shared, and I plan on maintaining it for some time. So...Magisk flashed via twrp/ofox works great, and so does busybox magisk.
+1 on your comment about Hypercam. Completely agree about hypercam. I've tested a lot on this device and of course am open to suggestions.
I will update this rom via the Lineageos patches, however, the Feb update hasn't been pushed yet so no new rom for now. I have isolated a few bugs, e.g. usb-c for calls and am working on OTA, however, I am going to release a surprise test build in the next couple of days (hopefully). It's building as we speak, and I will test before releasing. Stay tuned, and I look forward to yours and others feedback and questions.
P.S. I am a linux user and believe in the power of open-source. If you or others have any questions or comments, feel free to reach me via the telegram link in the 1st post; I usually answer a bit quicker there but also answer on here. Best wishes and thanks again!
P.S.S. Welcome Robson to our open-source team! If any of you are looking for a lineageos build without microg, check out his post a couple of posts above.

generally audio is lower quality than stock rom, it's not as loud and not as clear.

Indeed sir, it doesn't help all that much for me though.

rottenwheel said:
I accompany this sentiment. It happens with most Motorola Moto G devices I own and use: if kept with stock builds both camera and audio have a far better quality than custom ROMs do. Motorola engineers do hell of a job when working on their OEM firmware. It is a real shame yet not so far from reality that we need to take these tradeoffs to obtain better privacy.
An idea that comes to mind is for us to debloat the stock build, bake in microG and possibly update security patches as they come out. Motorola Moto G1 (falcon) has something alike with IDCrisis - https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-identity-crisis-6-t3324595
Thank you for the heads-up, though. I definitely love the audio on stock.

Unfortunately you can't do that with stock. Microg requires signature spoofing enabled in the ROM which is a patch applied when building a ROM. You could try patching stock to enable signature spoofing with a tool like Heystack but it most likely won't work on stock. Another route is using another ROM with signature spoofing support e.g. crdroid or omni, applying signature spoofing patch if necessary and then patching in twrp with something like nanodroid patcher.
That being said I am working through desired edits and bugs in this ROM but can't provide any ETAs. I encourage anyone with a bit of coding experience or interest to build their own and learn. Making changes to rom builds is not hard, just time consuming and unfortunately doesnt pay the bills...so its done in hobby time. I do plan on maintaining this ROM for some time though and will probably be on Pie longer than most users until 10 is ready; right now 10 has way too many bugs for me to use or build for daily driver material.

About PpPmod
PpPmod is a port of the excellent xXx NoLimits magisk ROM for Oxygen OS. It's a systemless modification to the default Realme UI that allows the user to get much more out of his device than the default configuration allows.
But why a magisk ROM?
For two reasons:
1. Realme devices offer good price to performance ratio, but in many cases they lack a developer community around them to build those ROMs the users want.
2. Realme UI is not that bad honestly. It offers good performance, it's not too crazy aesthetically and its bloatware isn't baked deep into the system.
It's also a much safer way to modify Mediatek devices. As long as you've managed to root your phone, you are good to go. If something goes wrong, just wipe data and no harm, no foul.
Supported devices
While in theory, any Realme device with Realme UI v1, Android 10 and a full HD screen resolution should be compatible, the only two devices this has been tested on are a Realme 6 and a Realme 6 Pro. For the curious, i own the later.
Ok, but what does it do?
- Port of xXx NoLimits for Oxygen OS
- Fully systemless Realme UI ROM mod for magisk
- Designed to work with all phones that run RealmeUI v1, Android 10 on full HD screens, including MTK ones
- Fully configurable installation, every component is optional
- Includes comprehensive debloating options
- Optional build.prop tweaks
- Many kernel tweaks that can be adjusted and combined, in order to target different degrees of performance and battery life
- 90hz/120hz for ALL apps when the display is set to its high refresh rate
- GMS Doze included
- Ability to disable analytics
- Ability to disable wakelocks
- Can enable full screen gestures (swipe up) for 3rd party launchers
- Ability to set custom bootanimations from a built in list, or as a user selected bootanimation.zip
- Includes extra launchers, sounds and icons from popular device brands like Pixel and OnePlus
- Gcams for both Qualcomm and Mediatek devices are included (by Urnyx and onFire)
- Youtube Vanced, detached from the playstore so no pesky updates can override it
- Google Dialer and Contacts, both old and new versions
- Custom density modes
- Ability to systemize apps
In order to set your own bootanimation, place a bootanimation.zip inside /sdcard/PpPmod. You can also place a shutdown/restart animation named rbootanimation.zip there. Make sure that your bootanimations are 1080 pixels in width, or they won't work as you'd expect. If you set option CustomBootAnimation to 1 in PpP.profile, your animations will be used during start up and/or reboot, instead of the default ones. For more information about the PpPmod folder and the PpP.profile file go to Installation Instructions.
If you want to systemize an app for whatever reason, just place the apk inside /sdcard/PpPmod/apps., before flashing.
Concerning debloating there is a master switch you should toggle if you want your individual options to work. Set IndividualDebloatSelection to 1.

ROM OS Version: Android 10
ROM Firmware Required: RealmeUI
Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: 1.1
Stable Release Date: 2020-09-14
Created 2020-09-03
Last Updated 2020-09-14

Changelog
Version 1.1
Fixed a bug where enabling HighRefreshRate had no effect on the first boot after installation.
Updated Google Dialer to the latest version.
Updated sqlite to the latest version.
Reworked kernel tweaks, with some inspiration from Ktweak by tytydraco.
New ReadAhead option added. This allows the user to disable, or set the readahead cache to a percentage of the device's memory. Default is 1 (cache disabled).
New CPUGovernorTweaks option added. When this is enabled, schedutil and interactive governor tunables are tweaked in order to increase performance. The default governor will also switch to schedutil or interactive depending on availability. Default is 1 (enabled).
Reworked CPUInputBoost option to make it more granular. You can now select from small, medium, high and max presets. For more info about them read the profile description.
Reworked CPUStuneBoost option to make it more granular. You can now select from small, medium, high and extreme presets. For more info about them read the profile description.

Installation
PpPmod allows for a fully customizable installation. The way this works is via a configuration file called PpP.profile. You will always be able to find the latest version of this file on this post. Make sure you edit this file on Notepad++ if you are opening it on Windows in order to preserve the Unix EOL format.
Requirements:
Realme UI v1 on Android 10 and display width of 1080 pixels
A working Magisk installation of v20.4 or higher
PpPmod should only be flashed via Magisk Manager
First time installation:
Place PpP.profile in /sdcard/PpPmod/ and edit it to personalize the installation to your liking
Flash the PpPmod zip via Magisk Manager
Reboot. Wait for at least a minute to let all installation options take effect.
Done
The first time you install, chances are that the PpPmod folder will not be in /sdcard, so you have to create it yourself. If you don't place PpP.profile there, the mod will be installed with the default options when you flash it and place the default PpP.profile inside /sdcard/PpPmod/.
Update to a newer version:
Open Magisk Manager and uninstall the previous version
Reboot
Wait for a couple of minutes after reboot as the uninstallation process can take some time
Install the newer version via Magisk Manager. Don't worry about changes to PpP.profile, they will be merged to your older version profile
Reboot. Wait for at least a minute to let all installation options take effect
Done
Uninstallation:
Press the waste bin icon next to the mod's name on the Magisk Manager
Reboot. Wait for a couple of minutes after reboot as the uninstallation process can take some time
Done

FAQ
Q: I just installed PpPmod and my phone has heated up and stutters, is this normal?
A: Yes, the installation process is fairly intense, and during the first boot following the installation, a lot of stuff happens in the background. Just let your phone settle for 10 minutes and it should be fine.
Q: I did all that and my phone still heats up, you liar!
A: Well, check your settings. PpPmod offers many options for tweaking, but not every one of them is suitable for all phones, or all usage patterns. In general, the higher performance settings may be fine for general usage and offer you a flagship like experience along with a high refresh rate, but will cause excessive heat and throttling during gaming.
For example, maybe a 12nm chipset shouldn't be pushed aggressively by enabling CPU boost options, especially if you game alot. You may gain a brief performance boost that will sooner or later be the cause of intense overheating, which will cause throttling, which will cause stutters. In short, try to be reasonable with your settings and expectations, PpPmod will not magically turn your mid range chipset into an SD865.
PpPmod is also not designed to work along with other magisk mods that adjust performance by altering kernel behavior. If you want to use such mods with it, try disabling every PpPmod performance setting, like:
KernelTweaks
LMK_RAM_Management
ReadAhead
DisablePeWq
DisableHotplugging
IncreaseMinGPUFreq
CPUGovernorTweaks
CPUStuneBoost
CPUInputBoost
The result may still not be ideal, but this is your best bet.
Q: My debloating options aren't working!
A: You forgot to set option IndividualDebloatSelection to 1.
Q: I think i found a bug, what is the best way to report it?
A: You should always include a detailed description of what triggers the bug, its effects, your specific phone model (including hardware characteristics like RAM and storage), firmware version, your PpP.profile and preferably a logcat from when the bug occurred.
Q: Can i be a beta tester? I swear i am awesome!
A: As long as you meet certain conditions, sure! The conditions are:
First and foremost, you must understand that beta testing doesn't mean early access. Most of the time you will have to do things that may be inconvenience you, or lead to loss of time and data (factory resets)
You should know at the very least how to setup and use adb
You should have A realme device with Android 10 and Realme UI v1
Q: Can i ask for a feature?
A: Sure, but keep in mind that PpPmod isn't primarily geared towards a specific device. So while device specific features are not out of the question, priority will be given to features that affect a range of devices.
Q: My phone isn't listed in supported devices, but it's a Realme device with Realme UI v1, Android 10 and a full HD resolution, should i give this a try?
A: Yes, as long as you don't mind resetting your data if something goes wrong, you should. That's exactly what i am trying to achieve with this mod. Normally, a new phone like for example the Realme X7 Pro would not have any options for customization on release, and may never get much due to the Mediatek soc. But PpPmod should work immediately, at least in theory. Even if there are some device specific issues i will do my best to fix them, and in the worst case scenario the phone is still safe from any permanent harm. Just reboot to recovery and reset data.
Q: PpPmod sucks and i wanna uninstall it. Must i also remove magisk?
A: NO, you don't have to and in fact you shouldn't if you don't have a reason unrelated to PpPmod, as magisk resides in your boot partition and thus unlike PpPmod, can mess with your device if you aren't careful.
Q: What does PpP mean?
A: No one knows fo sure. Some thik that it means Pro Plus Prime. Some other, less charitable persons claim it means PapaPowah instead. We may never know the truth.
Q: What do you plan for your next project?
A: Rewriting Android in Objective Cobol
Q: Is it true that you are actually a boomer?
A: Ok, that's enough. You guys have crossed the line and now i am forced to conclude this QA session.

Good job dude

Does it work for RMX2001 Realme 6(india). I would assume it does as mentioned in OP. however, i would just like to confirm. don't want to brick my new phone.

Yes, it works. But the whole point of a systemless mod is that you CAN'T brick your phone. Worst case you will just have to wipe data via recovery.

great job but will it work for eu version to (rmx2001)
we are unable to unlock bootloader with deeptesting.apk and nobody seems to care..

I am sorry to hear that about the EU version. I thought that this would have been resolved by now. Unfortunately this is a magisk mod, thus it doesn't work without magisk.

Even after making changes in PpP.profile I'm getting default settings

You have to make the changes and save them before flashing the mod. Meaning that if the mod is already flashed and you make changes to PpP.profile, you have to remove the mod and reinstall it in order to get the new settings.

Can u give some SS??

I bricked my phone...
Yep, title says it all.
It was supposed to be systemless though right?
So what happened was, I successfully rooted the phone, installed magisk using the manager, download both the profile and the mod itself. 1st installed the mod using magisk without the profile installed, got some bugs like green screen on viewfinder, default camera app though so i thought the problem lies within the profile settings so... uninstalled then installed 2nd with the profile on. Still got green screens, videos goes green as well, and UI restarts when I try to access stock launcher widgets. So i decided I'd uninstall the mod and magisk as well, and so i did. Restarted on each uninstall, and gave time as instructed. After magisk I got stuck on boot. Only access is to recovery and I can't seem to find any SP flash tool options like other mediatek devices have. 1st time on a realme phone as well. Any thoughts on where I actually fd up?
Edit: Tried wiping data but to no avail. (wipe and format)

The mod is indeed systemless, but magisk isn't. If you'd asked for help before attempting to uninstall magisk (for no reason i might add), i would have explained that the module files can be found in /data/adb/modules/RealmeUI_PpP_mod and you can remove them manually if you have issues. But removing magisk on mediatek does mess with boot partition so it can brick your phone. Fortunately for you, if you can enter fastboot mode you are not truly bricked yet. What i am assuming happened is that your boot.img was restored to the factory one but vbmeta (which i am assuming you also replaced with a patched one in order to root your device) wasn't. Be extra careful with what you do from now on as you can really brick your device. I would suggest downloading the exact rom version you have installed on your phone, extracting the boot and vbmeta images and flashing them via fastboot. If you are not experienced with this kind of stuff you should download telegram and seek help in the Realme 6 community there.

First of all, thanks a lot for replying. Really cleared everything out.
HAHAHA YEAH there was no reason to uninstall magisk at all, wonder why i actually did that. For science I guess?
And so I have the vbmeta and boot img from the B.45 patch, i can get to recovery and i connected my phone to my pc the only problem is i can't seem to authorize my phone for adb. (RSA Key prompt doesnt happen on recovery), any other way to get to fastboot?
EDIT: THERE WAS! (assuming that download mode is fastboot) I kept pressing the version at the bottom of the screen on recovery and it showed a prompt to go to download mode. Unfortunately though, can't seem to access it. It just automatically restarts on REALME boot.

I did the same mistak. Howevre here is a solution.
If you have sd card, download latest ozip file from realme wessbite and place in root of sd card. Then insert it into your realme 6 and boot into recovery using power and vol down. After that install zip from total storage and install from sd card. Hopefullt it will be back.
On an another note there shall be some key combo for booting into fastboot mode

Yes, you can install via recovery if you can push the ozip to /sdcard. But when the boot or vbmeta imgs are modified sometimes the installation fails. Hopefully it will work for @fraillesgeon.
As for PpPmod, i would appreciate if you guys could report the specific bugs you encountered and provide me with your PpP.profile settings. I cannot improve this for Realme 6 without your help as i don't own the device. I do have a few beta testers but sometimes they will miss stuff, it's only natural.

I'm back!

Well I've been doing it for days, it seems I was just using a broken sdcard and when it patches it fails, I thought that the phone was totally broken though lols. Well I'm back and installing PpPMod now.
And during my desperate attempt to fix the phone, I was searching for solutions, and found out that the camera problem and reboots was from a buggy boot and vbmeta img in the flash tool I used (the one posted and is now updated with a new one).
well that's that, I'll check the mod up for bugs and hope it helps as much as you helped me fatherjony, Thanks alot!

Can you do the step by step process on how to flash it using magisk?

Great news! I am really glad you were able to save your phone. As a rule, only use internal storage (/sdcard) for important operations.
I am looking forward to your impressions!

About /e/
/e/ is an a mobile ecosystem (ROM + onlines services) that:
is open source
is pro-privacy
is compatible with most existing Android applications
cares about usability
is as far as possible freed from shackles by Google and OEMs
already exists!
It’s the alternative to the Apple/Google duopoly on the smartphone.
... so again and just to be clear: /e/ is not just a ROM, it is more a complete privacy ecosystem and consists of:
an installable mobile operating system for smartphones, which is forked from Android and strongly “ungoogled”
a set of sorted and improved default open source applications
various online services that are linked to the mobile operating system, such as: a meta search engine for the web, drive (with synchronization), mail, calendar, notes, tasks.
Features
Based on the stable Lineage OS
microG fully pre-installed with Signature Spoofing in restricted mode!
All features described on the /e/ page: What is e
All features and fixes of LineageOS
My builds come with full OTA update support
... you know that thing which informs you that a new update is there and where you just click to download + install
Difference from pure /e/ or: why are the builds UNOFFICIAL?
There are no differences. its pure /e/. "just" build on my server
Known issues:
Keep in mind that this is brand new stuff so it may (still) contain unknown issues!
So back up regularly and frequently!
Camera does work but only for photo, i.e. video recording fails.
If you find a bug not listed let me know and SHARE LOGS! -> READ FAQ#1 for how to provide proper logs.
Requirements
Latest TWRP or SHRP (recommended) build.
Do a full (i.e. Nandroid) backup before doing anything!
Samsung STOCK firmware should be on T285XXU0AQH1.
You can check your current firmware version in Android -> settings -> About / Phone info -> Baseband version
If you like try first without flashing this firmware but if you encounter any issues upgrade to this version first before reporting
Fast and (afaik) good site for downloading: https://sfirmware.com/samsung-sm-t285/
(scroll down and type T285XXU0AQH1 in the search box, choose the one for your country, download, flash as usual, flash TWRP/SHRP again, flash this ROM)
Installation
Full clean install as described here (FAQ #2) is highly recommended. DO NOT REPORT ISSUES when you have skipped that step!
Flash /e/
Optional (if you want root): Flash Magisk
Flashing OpenGapps ????? STOOOOOOP! NO No no! you don't want that on a google-free phone! /e/ contains everything you need to live without Google! So flashing OpenGapps on /e/ is like using a bit more secure LOS but that's not the point of /e/. Either try without or go with LOS (imho).
Boot it (will take a bit on first boot!!! be patient!)
Enjoy the most easiest way to have a privacy focused and google-free phone!
Download
Get your builds from my leech server (new installs or re-installs)
http://leech.binbash.rocks:8008/e-os/nougat/gtexslte/
If you have a previous version of my(!) /e/ ROM installed already and just want to update to a newer release:
Android settings -> Updater (yes my builds have built-in OTA support!)
Note:
Builds are updated as soon as possible. There is no build cycle.
Information pertaining to your device is displayed accordingly.
The current build is the latest for your device.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q #01: I want to report an issue. What is the proper way to do so?
I'm glad that you are asking: before doing so check the KNOWN ISSUES topic in the OP and ofc the other FAQ's listed here!
if you have an audio issue follow FAQ #6 instead.
If your issue is not listed there click here to proceed:
If your issue is not listed there follow the directions here briefly and I may can fix it:
logcat GUIDE
Ensure you have done a full CLEAN install before doing so (refer to FAQ #2 for what that means).
Warning: NO SUPPORT when:
- magisk is installed (known to cause issues sometimes - regardless of the ROM or version)
- Xposed is installed (known to cause issues sometimes - regardless of the ROM or version)
If you have installed any of these UNINSTALL or better do a FULL CLEAN install (see FAQ #2) before doing anything else. Often enough these above causes several issues like battery draining, problems on booting and much more. Even when they may work properly you should re-produce your issue without them first and follow the above to grab the log.
Magisk is a great piece of software and besides that it is Open Source which SuperSu never was.
I just saying I do not "support" issues when you have Magisk installed. Why? It is (like Xposed) extendable with modules (made by whoever) and those can cause billions of issues.
Other then that magisk was sometimes the reason for battery drain etc. Magisk modifies the boot "process" and sits very deep in the system (which is needed to make it work ofc) but that has the potential to make a system/ROM unstable or result in strange behaviors.
so in order to support a specific issue I have to be sure the ROM is in a "clean" state, no magisk, no xposed.
Pro-Tip: a very first test is to set magisk on core functions only to see if an extension causes your issue or not.
Q #02: I want to install clean, how? What is a clean install? What is the recommended way to flash a new ROM version?
A clean install ensures that there are no leftovers from any previous install. One can say that there are 2 phases of a clean flash:
1) regular
2) full - when you (still) encounter issues
Usually the regular one is fully ok when flashing a new ROM version but if you encounter strange issues nobody else is reporting or if a release post is recommending it you should do a full clean install instead.
A regular clean install can be done like this:
WIPE -> Advanced -> select: System + Cache
Flash the ROM
reflash root addon/magisk if you want root
A full clean install needs 2 steps more then the regular:
follow the steps for regular clean
go back in WIPE -> touch the "FORMAT data" button and type "yes" to format the internal storage (you will LOOSE ALL YOUR DATA - obviously)
REBOOT -> Recovery
Flash the ROM
reflash root addon/magisk if you want root
It is absolutely recommended to create a backup before and COPYING IT to your PC(!) before doing the above.
Q #03: Are there any plans or a chance of official /e/ builds?
No plans on my site. I may check that later but the chance is very low.
Q #04: Will this ROM support / pass SafetyNet?
When you install Magisk you can hide and so yes you might be able to pass SafetyNet. Which can change every day though because even when that might work atm you should note the following:
Magisk has its own protections to ensure you pass safetynet but this is something which will change one day and there is no known method yet to workaround that.
Q #5: Is there an /e/ specific FAQ?
Sure:
FAQ: click
Forum: click
HOWTOs: click (a great resource for all your first questions)
Q #6: issues with audio (e.g. echo's, silence on one or the other site, ..)? Read here how to provide a specific log for that:
Do the following steps:
1) Ensure you have adb set up on your PC, and have adb debugging and adb root enabled in developer options on your phone
2) Then perform the following (all one command)
On Linux:
adb root ; adb shell "stop audioserver; logcat -c -b all; start audioserver" && sleep 10 && adb logcat -b all |egrep -vi "(dialer|telecom|ril|gsm|touch|brightn|dct|QC-time-services|SST|sensors|AlarmMan|Lights|perfp)"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3) Then re-produce your audio issue and cancel the logcat from step 2 before hanging up!
4) Share the logcat output from the console screen using paste.omnirom.org
Q #7: I'm scared about that microG , I don't want to expose my phone so is this /e/ version a security risk?
First of all you need a lot of trust installing ANY custom ROM. A developer can do nasty things right? Besides that yes microG allowing to let apps act like as they are another app, also known as signature spoofing. This CAN be a good and a bad thing. Read on why my builds are different:
In general the microG patch is an all or nothing. A ROM which supports microG (i.e. signature spoofing) have that feature enabled, always.
The difference in my /e/ builds is that I am using the "restricted" option of signature spoofing so as long as you trust me you are as safe as without microG.

Very nice job. Looking awesome:good:

Everything is ok except some problems/issues.
First is the camera. As you have said, camera does work but only for photo. But it only happens on the foundation.e.camera (default camera app). And in other apps require camera such as Qanda, it does not work. Like this:
The second problem is the cellular (or phone signal) problem. It says that "Emergency calls only" and I can't use mobile data(4g) or make any phone calls.
The next one is stability. Sometimes Espeak have fc (force-close) after using camera app.
and sometimes Bliss launcher (pre-installed) have some fc when i press home button.
Sorry if I can't provide to you the proper log because of some reasons.
Anyways, the rom works very well and actually better than the LOS i used before.
Without Google spyware, The performance increases and i have more ram to do other things.
I hope you will fix those issues i have mentioned above in future OTA updates.
Thank you for the nice work.

espeak is a known issue of /e/ OS and should be fixed hopefully anytime soon: https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/1890
cam is nothing I will work on sorry..
signal issue is very likely because of your STOCK firmware --> make a screenshot of the full " about" menu in settings (where you see build number etc)

Can I encrypt /data partition like in the Settings > Encryption > Encrypt phone
and Encrypt SD Card with this ROM?
Also, how stable it is for daily driver/use?
Did you fix the mic routing issue when in call? Use earphone mic instead of the built in mic of the tablet?
How about the video when app like Element.io or some other video conferencing apps?

Here are some screenshots
This one is from "about tablet" menu.
And I bonus some screenshots include some information i have from the "Device info HW" app (ru.andr7e.deviceinfohw, maybe you've already known it before).
That's all the screenshot i provided.

GAPS does not work. I'm using the open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170503.zip version

ok your cell service issue could come from a too old stock firmware. yours is from 2016 and there were some releases later on.
I have adjusted the OP with instructions (pls see topic "Requirements") with the firmware I am using without issues.

It is difficult to find a ROM that works well on this device. It is for my daughter and I also can't get a ROM that works with Samsung's Kids Mode.

i have tried so many ways. And it is not working after all.
installed T285XXU0AQH1 baseband from the BTU csc , but the cell service issues still happening.
my original csc is XXV, and the latest update still T285XXU0API1 baseband (20171115 ver.)

uhm.. well that was not what I said. I did not say "install the baseband" I said install the FULL(!!!!!) STOCK firmware. Here again:
Samsung STOCK firmware should be on T285XXU0AQH1.
You can check your current firmware version in Android -> settings -> About / Phone info -> Baseband version (===> hint: this info is the best indicator to find out your current STOCK firmware, afaik)
If you like try first without flashing this firmware but if you encounter any issues upgrade to this version first before reporting
Fast and (afaik) good site for downloading: https://sfirmware.com/samsung-sm-t285/
(scroll down and type T285XXU0AQH1 in the search box, choose the one for your country, download, flash as usual, flash TWRP/SHRP again, flash this ROM)
There is nothing mentioned to extract just a subset and only flashing a subset. No. flash it completely or leave it. Just flashing part of it will break and/or even hard brick.

Ok,i have given up. I don't know the way to install that properly because of the CSC differences(you said it should be in T285XXU0AQH1 but it didn't available in my country XXV. XXV still use T285XXU0API1 even with the latest update from 2017). So i will use that normally bc i'm ok without cellular.Btw things still work like a charm, and i have no regret of choosing this rom.

Sorry for misunderstanding.
I have found the reason why the cellular issues comes out. It is made by the SIM card itself, not the baseband version or the stock firmware version as you have said. I was wrong when i think that it come from the software or stock firmware. Now i found out the reason for that. Sincerely apologize to you.

Anyways thanks for noticing the recquirements. I think it is not necessary now since i found the real reason for the cellular issues.
When I changed another SIM card, it works flawlessly.

apps which require google crap will not work on /e/. That is by design..
You can browse the e foundation forum to find alternatives though.

About /e/
/e/ is an a mobile ecosystem (ROM + onlines services) that:
is open source
is pro-privacy
is compatible with most existing Android applications
cares about usability
is as far as possible freed from shackles by Google and OEMs
already exists!
It’s the alternative to the Apple/Google duopoly on the smartphone.
... so again and just to be clear: /e/ is not just a ROM, it is more a complete privacy ecosystem and consists of:
an installable mobile operating system for smartphones, which is forked from Android and strongly “ungoogled”
a set of sorted and improved default open source applications
various online services that are linked to the mobile operating system, such as: a meta search engine for the web, drive (with synchronization), mail, calendar, notes, tasks.
Features
Based on the stable Lineage OS
microG fully pre-installed with Signature Spoofing in restricted mode!
All features described on the /e/ page: What is e
All features and fixes of LineageOS
My builds come with full OTA update support
... you know that thing which informs you that a new update is there and where you just click to download + install
Difference from pure /e/ or: why are the builds UNOFFICIAL?
There are no differences. its pure /e/. "just" build on my server
Known issues:
Keep in mind that this is brand new stuff so it may (still) contain unknown issues!
So back up regularly and frequently!
Camera does work but only for photo, i.e. video recording fails.
If you find a bug not listed let me know and SHARE LOGS! -> READ FAQ#1 for how to provide proper logs.
Requirements
Latest TWRP or SHRP (recommended) build.
Do a full (i.e. Nandroid) backup before doing anything!
Samsung STOCK firmware should be on T285XXU0AQH1.
You can check your current firmware version in Android -> settings -> About / Phone info -> Baseband version
If you like try first without flashing this firmware but if you encounter any issues upgrade to this version first before reporting
Fast and (afaik) good site for downloading: https://sfirmware.com/samsung-sm-t285/
(scroll down and type T285XXU0AQH1 in the search box, choose the one for your country, download, flash as usual, flash TWRP/SHRP again, flash this ROM)
Installation
Full clean install as described here (FAQ #2) is highly recommended. DO NOT REPORT ISSUES when you have skipped that step!
Flash /e/
Optional (if you want root): Flash Magisk
Flashing OpenGapps ????? STOOOOOOP! NO No no! you don't want that on a google-free phone! /e/ contains everything you need to live without Google! So flashing OpenGapps on /e/ is like using a bit more secure LOS but that's not the point of /e/. Either try without or go with LOS (imho).
Boot it (will take a bit on first boot!!! be patient!)
Enjoy the most easiest way to have a privacy focused and google-free phone!
Download
Get your builds from my leech server (new installs or re-installs)

Builds are updated as soon as possible. There is no build cycle.
Information pertaining to your device is displayed accordingly.

How does this one compare to CrDroid? And would you recommend this one or CrDroid for everyday use? Don't care for gaming whatsoever.

idk ?

Hey, dude. First of all, thanks for bringing this ROM for Ali. It's pretty and I personally feel that it's smoother than PE 11.
I just got a problem with twitter and Reddit. The scrolling seems kinda laggy for some reason, even if I have no other app opened. I didn't change any other setting besides factory ones. I don't have root either. Is it a bug from Android 12 in general or perhaps from this ROM?
Also, can we dirty install all new updates you release or we must clean install them?
(Update)
Looks like the proximity sensor is not working too. At least on whatsapp when I try to listen to audios on call speaker

I recently installed PixelExperience_Plus_ali-12.1 using TWRP 3.7, onto a Moto G6 (ali xt1925-4, single SIM) that I was given to play around with and learn some Android stuff.
Since the installation I've been getting some errors and error messages that I'd be grateful for some help in resolving. I have searched the forum but haven't found anything that helps.
The errors messages I'm getting so far are:
1.) "android.process.media keeps stopping...." This message appears quite often.
2.) "com.android.phone keeps stopping...." This message appears less often. I haven't tried to use the device as a phone yet. There is no SIM installed.
3.) "Not enough storage space...." This appears after bringing the phone out of screen lock if I've left the Play Store open when the screen lock has activated.
Settings -> Storage shows "30% used - 22.55 GB free". I believe the device has 32 GB of storage.
Other problems:
a) Apps won't install from the Play Store. When the "Install" button is selected the screen flashes and displays "Pending" then returns to the App's install screen and occasionally a fleeting message appears saying something about low storage but it disappears too quickly to read.
b) The device seems to eat the battery which I only replaced, with a supposed genuine replacement, a short while ago. Settings -> Battery suggests 24hrs use on a 100% full charge. With Android 9 it was about 4 days.
The only apps installed other than the ones that came with PixelExperience_Plus_ali-12.1 are Magisk 25.2 and TWRP 3.7, which were already on the phone before I did the upgrade. The Magisk App may not be installed correctly.
I haven't changed any of the settings on the phone since the installation other than the Screen Timeout from default to 2 minutes and set the WiFi password.
