FAQs and Troubleshooting
I want to switch to [insert ROM name]How?
1) Use the Install Drivers option
2) Use the ADB+Fastboot test option to test the ADB and fastboot drivers
3) Use the backup apps+data option
4) Use the bootloader unlock option
4) Download the ROM of your choice, along with gapps (such as Opengapps arm64 7.1) and anything else you want to flash. Make sure you download the universal bootloader and modem for your variant as well from the lineage thread otherwise THE ROM WILL NOT FLASH!
5) (optional) Use the Flash TWRP option.
6) Use the flash zips option to flash the ROM along with everything else
7) (optional) Use the root option.
Profit!
The adb restore apps+data option did not work on my device.
Unfortunately, this is a ROM issue as some ROMs have broken backup managers. There is no other way to restore the backup through the adb way, however there is a way to restore a backup on the device. This method requires an unlocked bootloader and root. It also requires a paid app.
1) Download Titanium Backup from the Play Store: [url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup[/URL]
2) Download the Pro key. It costs $5.99 US but the app itself is extremely worth it (from my experience) : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackupPro&hl=en
3) Open up the app on your device. You should get a Superuser request popup. Tap `Grant`.
4) Connect your device to your computer with the factory USB-C cable. Open a command window anywhere by holding down shift and then right clicking. Click on 'Open command window here' from the menu options.
5) Execute the following command to push the backup file to your internal storage:
Code:
C:\Axon7Development\Axon7Toolkit\adb push filepath /sdcard/
where filepath is the location and name of your backup such as C:\Axon7Development\Axon7Toolkit\backups\my-backup.ab
6) If there is no menu option in the app execute the following command to emulate a "menu" key press:
Code:
C:\Axon7Development\Axon7Toolkit\adb shell input keyevent 82
This should bring up Titanium Backup's menu options.
7) Scroll down to 'Extract from ADB backup' and select it. This will bring up a list of "Open with" options. Choose any installed file manager on your device, such as the one pre-installed with the stock ROM or a third-party file manager such as ES File Explorer.
8) Navigated to the /storage/emulated/0 directory and find your backup file and select it.
9) Restore the backup on your device.
The partition restore option did not work on my device.
Follow the instructions above but use the 'Extract from Nandroid backup' option instead.
My device is stuck on an 'Enter your password to start Android' screen.
Unfortunately this requires a factory reset.
1) Boot your device into recovery mode by pressing and holding the power and volume up buttons for 10-15 seconds.
2) Stock Recovery: Use the volume down key to go down to 'Wipe data/factory reset' and press power to select. Press the volume down key again to go down to 'Yes' and press power to select.
TWRP Recovery: Tap "Wipe" < Tap "Advanced Wipe" < Check the box next to "data" < Tap "Repair or change file system" < Tap "EXT4" < Swipe to confirm.
3) Reboot your device.
The download of a file keeps failing even though I am definitely connected to the Internet.
-There may be problems with the link or server, usually in the event of high traffic. In this case use the import option. Please let me know if this happening for longer than 24 hours so I can investigate it.
-If you are on versions 1.0.0-1.1.1 the download agent is outdated. Download and run the fix here: [url]https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2VBJePGznYjdXNUUkY5UzFJTm8[/URL]
Can I access the source code?
No.

Thanks man. It's good to see more developers for Axon 7.

Cool, will probably check it out later. You should post up some sceenshots so we can see how it works.
Just one thought, does bootloader lock warn user to have untouched system? Lots of people lock on custom rom/modified stock for some reason.

Yep. You'll get a popup that says you have to be complete stock to use it otherwise you'll be hard bricked.

I kinda wish we'd scrap all of the unlock and recover methods and just have all of the devs making threads to just resort to a Wugfresh tool like this. Any way to make unlock/locking/restoring/recovering hands off and safe would really help a lot of us out.
We could implement a bunch of backing up, signature verifications, and delays before steps occur so it's more foolproof and not have to rely on timing of key combinations and picking which file to use for whatever.

Here are some screenshots i just took. Thanks for your work on this, bkores.

Thanks. You beat me to it lol.
Also, since you're using it please let me know of any bugs or improvements. Thanks!

Wow, nifty. Thanks, man.

Thanks for providing this to the community! Good work!

I'm planning to release a new version soon with support for adb backups in TWRP, restore to stock using TWRP, and an option to restore to B29 in edl for those who don't want B15.
Stay tuned

This does not seem to be working for me. When attempting to unlock the bootloader the application puts my phone into fastboot mode, and closes. ZTE Axon 7 factory nougat upgrade (B15). Have downloaded the MiFlash application as requested, but option 4 just places my phone into fastboot mode and then the application just exits.
Phone will now only boot to Team Win asking for a password (I didnt have a password set). Looks like my phone may be dead.

Hold on let me look into this.

@wyrethewolf The issue has been fixed. I'll upload the new version as soon as possible. For the time being if you are in TWRP you should be able to boot to system by pressing cancel on the decryption screen and then going to Reboot<System.
It was a tiny typo in the fastboot check which screwed up the entire script lol.

Thank you, I will give this a try. Thank you for checking in on this!

New version is up! This should *hopefully* fix the application closing issue with the bootloader unlock option.
If you already have the toolkit, no need to download this one. It'll automatically be downloaded when you launch the toolkit.
Also if you get any errors of failing to close adb.exe during installation just press ignore. I've already fixed this for future releases.

@wyrethewolf tell me if the update fixed the issue. Thanks!

@bkores thanks for all you hard work

DO THIS UNDER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
IMPORTANT!
-Of my Audit are only the Customs Roms, the rest are extra tools of other users, credits to whom correspond, thanks to who deserves, to avoid confusion and misunderstandings. The objective is to take advantage of the maximum performance of the Cell does not gain fame based on Contributions.
- They must have original L21 or Converted, be in the C432B598 Stock preference, so we avoid mistakes and things like that.
-In case they have a problem with the Rom or not Bootea or are missing things or notice instability, do a factory reset with the recovery Stock.
- If for some reason Root disappears, just follow this tutorial and go!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/huawei-p8-lite-install-twrp-recovery-v2-t3597170
-The Roms that I do come with the basics to work, one or another complement that I consider necessary throughout Rom, Optimization through Build.prop, Boot.img, among other things for the correct and optimal operation of the system.
- I do not usually touch the appearance of each app of the system since for that there are issues of Huawei included in the Rom, neither Xposed, nor rare functions, the Roms that I do come free of garbage, so everyone knows how to customize their equipment.
- The V1 is deodexed for more support, you get more space in root, but slightly notice a slight delay in the transition of windows and apps, that does not mean that the Rom is not fluid.
-The V2 is not deodexada is practically to have the stock but optimized, but it shows enough fluidity, almost to the touch they respond the functions.
Explanation of Odex and Deodex:
Https://www.androtube.es/odex-y-deodex-y-sus-differencias/
Https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200349
-If you want to know which is better, test both and draw your conclusions.
- Please, I beg you to BACK UP TWRP before installing this ROM, for anything, it is better to prevent than having a nice and adorable BRICK.
-If you are not sure to do this tutorial better do not do it, there is no hurry so quiet.
-Because I put odd names to the Roms? Well they are names that I see around there or maybe I'm crazy haha ​​I do not know the truth, the name I suppose does not matter.
-If you do not like Rom, then I do not even ask for life, I just share the things I do for my cel because maybe someone can serve you and for the sake of doing Roms, I've never considered myself Developer, I'm just a human who knows some things based on inquiring about Google, Youtube, Htc mania and XDA. I do not compete against anyone, I think that's the least of it. Amen.

The question it's about the licence, not on how to add the apps.

It wont pass safety net. He used SuperSU and not magisk to root

but you can unroot it using his guide and then flash magisk,not a big deal

Hey man........My phone just got waayyyyyy slow....Any ideas..Just after 2 hours of install and use

I am using it with magisk root instead of supersu and it's all fine,working nice and smooth.
You should check your installed apps,and also make sure you are not running so many apps in the backgroud,maybe some apps are making your phone slow while running in the background. I did not notice any lags so far,it's working as it should.

Can i change the language in music app ? If yes, how ?
Because i dont know this language !

Open the Build.prop file, located in the path "/ system", locate the line "ro.build.display.id = Built.with.SuperRs.Kitchen" and put "ro.build.display.id = C432B598"
Save the changes and reboot the system.

[SM-N935F/DS] How to flash TWRP & Root with Magisk (Int. Ver.) [Pie Updated]

UPDATE OF JULY, 13th 2019 : IMPORTANT INFO : This guide is no longer updated. The recent update of June 2019 broke compatibility with my Bootloader Ver. 2 I was using which worked fine from the first Nougat release to the first Pie update (included). As I'm still daily running Android Nougat (7.0), I can't risk to upgrade to BL Ver. 5 and find myself locked under Pie. And the main risk is that I can't know if BL v5 is breaking modem compatibility or not and if it does it means that I'll lose all wireless connectivity under Nougat. So, as I can't risk my device (which is my daily) I have no choice other than dropping the support of this device. I apologize.

- I DECLINE TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU DAMAGE OR BRICK YOUR PHONE WHILE TRYING THIS METHOD ! YOU'RE DOING IT AT YOUR OWN RISKS !
- THIS METHOD IS ONLY VALID FOR THE GALAXY NOTE FAN EDITION (EXYNOS Ver.) SM-N935F/DS VERSION ! IT'S NOT SUITABLE FOR THE KOREAN VARIANTS !
- FLASHING ANY CUSTOM BINARY WILL IRREMEDIABLY VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND KNOX COUNTER WILL BE TRIGGERED (0x1).
- MAKE SURE THAT YOUR DEVICE HAS AT LEAST 70% BATTERY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY STEPS !
- ALL THE DATA ON THE INTERNAL STORAGE WILL BE DELETED ! BACKUP ALL YOUR FILES IN A SAFE PLACE BEFORE PROCEEDING !
2 - ▼ Important Infos ▼​
To avoid making any mistakes, I HIGHLY recommend you to READ CAREFULLY the WHOLE guide BEFORE attempting anything! Prevention is better than cure remember
The Galaxy Note FE (like many other Samsung devices) use dm-verity and data partition encryption.
► Android 9.0 (Pie) - UPDATE OF THE 06/21/2019 (Bootloader V5) :
The Note FE (International Ver.) Android Pie update of (June 2019) support is unknown.
As I can't try if my patch works, (see above), I can't test if the latest update is rootable or not.
However, the problem is probably similiar to the first Pie release of March 2019, the fix is also probably the same
but due to changes to the kernel or boot routines, the old fix dosen't work anymore.
If you're under an older Pie release (typically with a v4 BL or less) or even under an other Android version, you can still follow this guide.
► About RMM State :
The Note FE (International Ver.) is shipped with a component called "RMM".
This component is able to prevent the end-user from flashing any custom binary on the device while it's active.
You can check if your RMM is enabled or disabled by putting your device in Download Mode :
- If the line "RMM State: Prenormal" is present, then RMM is enabled and you won't be able to flash any custom binary.
- If it's absent, then it has already been disabled which means that you'll be able to flash any custom binary.
This component suddenly disable itself after 7 days of continuous uptime since the device has been last powered on.
You can check your device actual uptime by going into : "Settings" > "About phone" > "Status" > "Uptime"
Or use CPU-Z : "System" tab and "System Uptime". (CPU-Z displays the uptime in days rather than hours.)
Once 7 days are elapsed, it will be desactivated BUT! If you format the data partition for example, which's required to disable data encryption for rooting, it will be back!
Even worse, if you reboot once you've setup your phone, you'll get blocked with a message when you'll powering it on saying ("custom binary has been block due to remaining installment balance") and you'll have to reflash stock to get your device working again...
To avoid that, once the /data partition has been wiped, you'll need to apply the RMM fix (prerequisites section, see below) which prevents the device from re-self-locking itself after rebooting, once the initial setup has been completed.
Everytime you install a new official firmware, RMM might be active again.
It is triggered by an hidden system app called "Rlc" which acts on the bootloader lock.
If your Rlc app is still present, the best thing to do is to simply delete it ASAP to prevent any unpredictable action on your bootloader. (system/priv-app/Rlc)
For custom ROMs, normally they're safe. But still, check if the dev has already deleted Rlc, otherwise you'll have to do it by yourself.

7 - A brain, a pair of eyeballs and some fingers (Yeah, that could help... especially the first one..)
4 - ▼ Flashing TWRP 3.2.1-0 on the Galaxy Note FE ▼​
If Your RMM is locked you will have to wait 7 days (or 168 hours) while maintaining your device up and running. (NEVER REBOOT DURING THIS TIME ! IT WILL RESET THE RMM TIME COUNTER!)
=> For more info and/or if you don't understand what I'm talking about, please refer to section 2 of this page and read it all.
Once RMM is desactivated (or already desactivated), you can proceed to the next steps :
Make sure to enable "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlock" in the Dev Options.
Connect your phone to your PC and drag and drop the Magisk package and the RMM fix at the root of your microSD card.
Now, depending on the Android version you're running, drag and drop the additional fix that you've downloaded earlier at the root of your mSD card too. (Only if you're on Oreo or Pie)
Once it's done, backup everything valuable and power off your device.
Enter the Download Mode by pressing simultaneously the "Home" + "Vol. Down" + "Power" buttons for 5 sec. Read the warning message and just answer "Continue".
Launch Odin and select TWRP 3.2.1-0 archive by clicking on the "AP" button.
Go to the "Options" tab and untick "Auto-reboot"
Connect your phone which is in DL Mode to your PC.
/IMPORTANT!\ Make sure Odin is seeing your device properly.
(Once connected, you should see the box under the "ID:COM" tab displaying "0:[COM*]" in blue, meaning your phone has been detected successfully. If not, Install the Samsung USB Drivers, link available in the prerequisites section.)
Flash TWRP.
Wait while Odin in flashing the recovery. /AVOID TOUCHING ANYTHING DURING FLASH PROCESS\
When Odin shows "PASS", take your device in hands, disconnect the USB-C cable and press simultaneously the "Home" + "Vol. Down" + "Power" buttons until the DL mode disappears.
When at the precise moment the screen becomes black, immediately release the "Vol.Down" button and press the "Home" + "Vol. UP" + "Power" buttons during 10 to 15sec to enter TWRP recovery.
You should see TWRP logo just after the Note FE splash-screen.

8 - ▼ Disable SecurityLogAgent pop-up & Samsung Anti-Malware ▼​
Samsung provides an anti-malware on their phones and the Note FE is one of them. The system will detect that Magisk has been installed and a service called "SecurityLogAgent" will regularly
pop-up in your notification bar to invite you to launch the Device Maintenance app and reboot the device using an orange button to "eliminate" the threat. => DO NOT REBOOT USING THIS BUTTON ! <=
You'll end up soft-brick your phone. And this, won't disappear on it's own.
Here's how to disable and definitively hide that anti-malware crap from the Device Management app :
Download the lastest version of MiXplorer => HERE <= (Or any file manager of your choice. MiXplorer is lightweight, nice to use, free and made on XDA.)
Access the root partition in the left panel and go into the "/system/csc" folder
Open the file "others.xml" with the text editor.
Add the following line at the end :
Code:
[I]<CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>TRUE</CscFeature_SmartManager_DisableAntiMalware>[/I]
Save the changes, and close the app.
Reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The Samsung Anti Malware is now disabled as well as the annoying pop-up.You're good to go, enjoy!
9 - ▼ Fix Samsung Health ▼​
For whatever reasons, Samsung locks-up Samsung Health once Knox has been triggered.. But go figure why, there's only a simple thing to do to re-enable the app and be able to use it again easily.
You can either use a file manager or the app "BuildProp Editor".
Download the lastest version of MiXplorer => HERE <= (Or any file manager of your choice. MiXplorer is lightweight, nice to use, free and made on XDA.)
Access the root partition in the left panel and go into the "/system" folder
Open the file "build.prop" with the text editor.
Simply change the line
Code:
ro.config.tima=[COLOR="Red"][B]1[/B][/COLOR]
to
Code:
ro.config.tima=[COLOR="SeaGreen"][B]0[/B][/COLOR]
Save the changes, and close the app.
Reboot.

Click to collapse
Samsung Health is now working again. :good:
10 - ▼ Troubleshooting ▼​
You have a problem with your Note FE ? Take a look at those answers before posting :
Q: I try to flash TWRP with Odin but a message pops up on my device and says "custom binary has been block due to remaining installment balance". What's happening ?
A: RMM. This message is more likely to appear if you still have RMM enabled. Boot your phone, keep it powered on and running and never reboots during 7 days and it should disappear.
Q: I've flashed TWRP with success, formatted data and stuff but I see the message "custom binary has been block due to remaining installment balance" at boot and I can't boot ! What's happening ?
A: RMM again ! Once data has been formatted and Android first reinstalled, RMM lock is back! Same thing can happen if you did not install the RMM fix with TWRP. To unbrick it, you have 2 options : 1 - Flash stock BUT with HOME_CSC. (It will keep the RMM elasped time, but you'll have to keep in mind since how much time has elapsed already.) or 2 - Reflash stock and follow the entire procedure again and the waiting again. The first one might work, if not, then try the 2nd one.
Q: I've managed to install TWRP, root and get my phone up and running but I've clicked on the orange "Reboot" in the Anti-Malware tab in the Device Management app.
Now my phone bootloops (or) shows the message "custom binary has been block due to remaining installment balance" and I'm stuck with it.
A: You've got trapped into Samsung Anti-Malware crap. This utility can't delete Magisk. Any solutions ? Restore one of your previous TWRP backup but if you have none, the only solution is to re-flash stock, repeat the entire procedure, disable SecurityEventLog service to get rid of those annoying security pop-ups AND stay away from the anti-malware utility !

Thanks ! I'll give it a try.
Do you think we can use all the flashable mods and custom roms from S7/S7 edge?

Well the answers are : Maybe and No.
Some mods that you can apply with TWRP may work, some not.
Concerning custom ROMs it's totally no. ROMs are designed for specific hardware and phone models. Unless someone creates a custom ROM for the Note FE, it's not possible.

I've only tried the Dual Speaker mod for the S7 edge as it was my previous device, but it only works partially on the FE actually. Whenever I make a phone call for the first time just after rebooting, the microphone works fine but then if I try any more times after, the microphone stops working without any reasons :/ Quite a weird problem.. Like I said, some mods may work, some not.

any mod you want to try i suggest take it from s8/s8+ version. anyway since you guys has root your device... try to update some of the old apps in system. got a better one out there.

I've tried the Dual Speaker for the Note 8 (Magisk mod) but it simply didn't work. That would be awesome if the dev of this mod for the S7/ S7 edge version could release a NFE one (@zubi182)

Does anyone know if Secure Folder can be somehow enabled? I managed to do it on my rooted S7 Edge , but with dark lord rom and some sort of kernel. I'm guessing this isn't possible on this rooted stock rom?

Anyone know where i can get an international note fe?dont want dual SIM version

Secure Folder can be fooled with a modified kernel yeah. To my knowledge too, it's not possible with the stock one.

please help me remove knox on samsung s7 nN935F. picture in attach. thanks all

Hi ! Was able to reboot and edit some lines (using root explorer) in build.prop ro.securestorage to false and ro.config.tima to 0. Problem is.. the securestorage even at false value i still cant view the saved wifi passwords. So i tried changing the permission to 777 thats when i had the red custom binary blocked and rmm prenormal. Flashed to stock rom last night. Not sure how but i tried flashing only with csc_home but red warning is still there. But with ap it worked. Didnt flash bl, cp etc. Am i doing this right? So now i have to wait again. Can i use supersu instead of magisk? the root is not giving me full privelege in this androdumpper app (on the saved password section ). Thank you for your awesome post RicePlay33.

@donart81 I've searched a bit and I've found this => http://phuongpn.com/how-to-decrypting-wifi-password-on-samsung-galaxy-phone-solved/ Did you done the rest of the operation ?
Also, changing the value of "ro.securestorage to false" maybe triggers the RMM lockdown as it seems related to the security of the device. (Encrypting WiFi passwords)
The message was still there because you've ONLY flashed "HOME_CSC", it was specified to flash stock (so including everything BL/AP/CP etc) but for the CSC, choosing the HOME_CSC one. It will flash stock 99% like usual but the HOME_CSC will keep the time elapsed of RMM, reducing the time needed to re-root it again.
You should have tried to disable RMM Maybe it wouldn't have bricked itself.

oh so that's how you flash hehe. i'm such a noob.
yup i think i have done the rest of the operation. I've successfully rebooted after changing the value of the build.prop (ro.securestorage + ro.config.tima) to see if it was not reverted back to original. device was working. it was only when i changed its permission checked it all suddenly it bricked my phone hehe.
next time i'll try to change the value of the "Support Rmm" in the experiment section and report back if it worked
thank you for your informative reply.

There has been some development about a possible RMM State Fix Over here.
Did anyone try it?
I'm just waiting for the 7 days to pass, and this wait itself is killing me!

Yeah I saw that. I was thinking to talk about it but I didn't had the time recently.
I'll update the main post, although I may need someone to try it first and report me what is going on on his device to be able to document it as clear as possible and also to see if it works without any problems.
Don't worry, 7 days and you'll be free like a bird is

hello i installed twrp on the device and made root and then waited 7 days and 7 days is completed. When the device is off and the device is open, the device has failed.
My fault : custom binary blocked due to remaining installment balance
Please melp me mate
what should I do ?

I will do it as soon as I'm released from the jail.!
However, "This being free is temporary" I guess as it seems like after a new firmware update from Samsung, This will be a routine process.

Hi, Im not really qualified to answer your query, But from What I have learned -
You need to flash a Stock Rom,
Do the 7 Day wait until the RMM State is disappeared,
Then Follow the steps in the OP, and Flash the RMM State fix immediately to prevent getting locked again.

Huawei P8 Custom ROM
*MagicArrow*
3.Version
based on Huawei EMUI European Firmware b399
Magisk-Edition and SuperSU-Edition
Teamwork by Tecalote and KangV
Release-Date: 15.02.2018
Status: stable
Tested and developed on: GRA-L09 c432
should work also on: GRA-UL10 und GRA-UL00
flashed over Firmware: b399 und b398 - clean und dirty
cust in this ROM: only for c432
(if somebody need, I can make cust-patches for other regions)
German-Thread: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p8.2257/huawei-p8-gra-b399-rom-6-0-emui-4-0-3-magicarrow-v3-bytecalote.866753.html
Known issues/not really a Bug:
A) AdAway is working as preinstalled apk for blocking ads (just enable it after first start) - but if you want to use TCPDUMP or Webserver, please install this apk over the existing one in the ROM as Update: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=313042859668275788
B) If you flash clean and setup-assistant ask you for WLan Network Connection and you cancle it for the moment - it occurs sometimes on the Magisk Edition an error message like: "No SIM Card found - shoutdown or confirm..." - You just go to confirm and in the next second your SIM Network will be recogniced
C) If you install a new App or change something in settings you may receive from time to time a message: "Dropezone for K-Settings blocked... you can add K-Settings in Phonemanager to Dropezone Apps..." But it is not possible to add K-Settings into Dropezone in European Cust (because Phonemanager does not allow...) So, just ignore this message
Requirements:
- Huawei P8 GRA Phone without branding and with Unlocked Bootloader
- not flashable over Android 5 Lollipop
- for best results: Latest possible Android 6 Firmware for your device
- ore if you come from MagicArrow v2 or v1
- read Install-Instructions
- latest TWRP (see Download-Section)
Features/Infos:
- K-Settings by KangV for b399
- Viper4Android and DolbyAtmos with preinstalled Driver, working with Huawei Musicplayer (and with other Players)
- all the other Apps I have included are uninstallable with native settings /Apps (you dont need systemapp-remover!)
- PMPlus and Kernel Audiutor Mod (reborn) for Advanced Users (just uninstall with settings /Apps, if you dont know what to do with this apps)
- Kernel Audiutor can emulate init.d (without loose green safetynet)
- PMPlus can enable App-Auto-Launch in Phonemanager (but its not easy to configure!!)
Phone Manager and the app PMPlus:
Phone Manager does not include the Autostart Manager in European Firmware. The advantage is: you do not have to worry about anything, everything is controlled automatically - and also works. But the battery consumption is slightly more, since all apps wait in the background to be called.
With the app PMPlus, you can activate the Autostart Manager in the Phone Manager. To do this, start the app, go to Installation and as soon as the succesful message comes, close the app (can be uninstalled thereafter). Now, on screen two of the Phone Manager, the entry "App auto-launch" appears!
But NOTICE - through this upgrade will initially set ALL Autostarts to 0 ! You must manually enable the most important apps in App auto-launch - all apps that should receive push notifications - and, most importantly, SuperSU in the Classic Edition and Magisk Manager in the Magisk edition. Otherwise Root permissions do not work!
Advantage: You have control over which apps should not start at system start or in the background (if you need it rarely)
But you must always remember to activate a newly installed app there if necessary. Example: Amazon, E-Bay, PayPal - some of these apps are coupled and not only need the autostart to work , but also the so-called " app activation " (which appears in Autostart Manager when such apps are installed)
Disadvantage: If the apps are not configured correctly in the mask, you have more trouble than good. So, if you're not control freaks, then let's keep your fingers out of it.
But if you want to activate this function, it is recommended to do it at the end, if you have already installed all the apps you are using and not before!
- Facebook lite (original): I recommend to use this App instead of the BigBrother App Facebook - because it saves a lot of battery on Huawei P8!
- most of Google Apps from system are deleted, only the required Core-Apps not - so if you need more Google Apps - dont flash any GApps, just install it with Playstore (like Maps, Google Play Music.... )
- some nice Designs/Themes onboard (Themes will be copied to your internal storage/HWThemes - you can delete what you dont need)
- App-Clone is supported (in Huawei Launcher)

- Magisk-Edition: Magisk 15.3 with Magisk Manager 5.6.0 (please enable Magisk Manager as protected App in Phonemanager)

- Enabling systemless host in Magisk Manager Settings would break safetynet!
- Magisk v16 Update available - do it with this steps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75656403&postcount=22
Do not update yet to Magisk v16.1 - it would cause big problems - I will provide a patch zip for the update
- You dont need Universal Safetynet Fix anymore - it break safetynet
- If you install Apps which requires safetynet, enable them first in Magisk Hide before you start them first time.
- Busybox 1.27.2 stable by YashdSaraf and SELinux Permissive Script installed as Magisk Module (required)
- In Superuser Section of Magisk Manager is one component pre-allowed for Root-Rights: com.android.inputdevices (its for communication between Magisk and KangV settings)

- The system-partition in Magisk Edition must be untouched after Rom Installation, or you loose cts and basicintegrity=true
- means: dont delete or change anything in system partition (with Root Explorer or system-app remover)
- Xposed Framework systemless by topjohnwu (SDK 23) can work with this Rom (not installed) - but it breaks safetynet!
- SuperSU-Edition: SuperSU 2.82 SR5 with modified launch_daemonsu.sh (for SELinux permissive and init.d support - note: you dont need to enable init.d with Kernel Audiutor in SuperSU-Edition)
- SuperSU-Root systemless with boot.img patching (Phone cancle first reboot after ROM Installation and boot up twice)
- Please enable SuperSU App in Phonemanager /Akkumanager as protected App!

- Busybox 1.27.2 stable by YashdSaraf installed to su/xbin

You need this Version of TWRP: twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img
- if you dont have it already... : https://eu.dl.twrp.me/grace/twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img
Installation-Guide:
1) Make a TWRP Backup from your current system just for to be sure - use latest TWRP!
2) If you decide to flash clean or dirty, in both cases - Backup your stuff
3) IF YOUR CURRENT SYSTEM IS ROOTED - you must flash Unroot Script with TWRP
- For Magisk use Magisk Uninstaller: http://tiny.cc/latestuninstaller
- for SuperSU use UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
4) Soon you flashed Unroot Script, go back to main menu to WIPE /ADVANCED WIPE
- if you want to flash dirty, then wipe: Dalvik/ARTCache - Cache - Cust - System
- if you want to flash clean, then wipe: Dalvik/ARTCache - Cache - Cust - Data - System
5) After wipes flash MagicArrow-ROM and soon its finished, reboot your Phone without wipe Dalvik/Cache (Wipes must be done before flashing!)
6) Note - first Reboot can take up to 20 min, so stay tuned and trink some coffee, tea or beer
Disable Chinese Letters:
The Rom is European, but the K-Settings are from KangV. Thats why the Lunar component is installed in K-Settings (these are the only Chinese letters in this Rom).
To disable Lunar, go to K-Settings:
1) Lockscreen and desktop settings and disable: "Lunar Calendar" and at "Desktop weather lunar"
2) Notification settings - disable: "Show statusbar lunar"
Save Battery:
- NFC (with Google Pay) ist enabled by default - disable it and enable it only for the time you need it
- Location Settings (menu: scan settings) disable WLan and Bluetooth Search while Wlan and Bluetooth is disabled, Navi Apps are working also without this setting.
- You can change Location Service to WLan and mobile Network and enable GPS only if you need it
- Performance is enabled by default - change this in Akku-Manager (part of Phone Manager) to SMART
- Bluetooth enable it - if you use it and disable it - if you dont need it at the moment
- Close Apps in the background you dont use at the moment
Have much fun with this ROM​​​

Huawei P8 Custom ROM
*MagicArrow*
3.Version
based on Huawei EMUI European Firmware b399
Magisk-Edition and SuperSU-Edition
Teamwork by Tecalote and KangV
Release-Date: 15.02.2018
Status: stable
Tested and developed on: GRA-L09 c432
should work also on: GRA-UL10 und GRA-UL00
flashed over Firmware: b399 und b398 - clean und dirty
cust in this ROM: only for c432
(if somebody need, I can make cust-patches for other regions)
German-Thread:https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...ui-4-0-3-magicarrow-v3-bytecalote.866753.html
Known issues/not really a Bug:
A) AdAway is working as preinstalled apk for blocking ads (just enable it after first start) - but if you want to use TCPDUMP or Webserver, please install this apk over the existing one in the ROM as Update: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=313042859668275788
B) If you flash clean and setup-assistant ask you for WLan Network Connection and you cancle it for the moment - it occurs sometimes on the Magisk Edition an error message like: "No SIM Card found - shoutdown or confirm..." - You just go to confirm and in the next second your SIM Network will be recogniced
C) If you install a new App or change something in settings you may receive from time to time a message: "Dropezone for K-Settings blocked... you can add K-Settings in Phonemanager to Dropezone Apps..." But it is not possible to add K-Settings into Dropezone in European Cust (because Phonemanager does not allow...) So, just ignore this message
Requirements:
- Huawei P8 GRA Phone without branding and with Unlocked Bootloader
- not flashable over Android 5 Lollipop
- for best results: Latest possible Android 6 Firmware for your device
- ore if you come from MagicArrow v2 or v1
- read Install-Instructions
- latest TWRP (see Download-Section)
Features/Infos:
-K-Settings by KangV for b399
-Viper4Android and DolbyAtmos with preinstalled Driver, working with Huawei Musicplayer (and with other Players)
- all the other Apps I have included are uninstallable with native settings /Apps (you dont need systemapp-remover!)
- PMPlus and Kernel Audiutor Mod (reborn) for Advanced Users (just uninstall with settings /Apps, if you dont know what to do with this apps)
- Kernel Audiutor can emulate init.d (without loose green safetynet)
- PMPlus can enable App-Auto-Launch in Phonemanager (but its not easy to configure!!)
Phone Manager and the app PMPlus:
Phone Manager does not include the Autostart Manager in European Firmware. The advantage is: you do not have to worry about anything, everything is controlled automatically - and also works. But the battery consumption is slightly more, since all apps wait in the background to be called.
With the app PMPlus, you can activate the Autostart Manager in the Phone Manager. To do this, start the app, go to Installation and as soon as the succesful message comes, close the app (can be uninstalled thereafter). Now, on screen two of the Phone Manager, the entry "App auto-launch" appears!
But NOTICE - through this upgrade will initially set ALL Autostarts to 0 ! You must manually enable the most important apps in App auto-launch - all apps that should receive push notifications - and, most importantly, SuperSU in the Classic Edition and Magisk Manager in the Magisk edition. Otherwise Root permissions do not work!
Advantage: You have control over which apps should not start at system start or in the background (if you need it rarely)
But you must always remember to activate a newly installed app there if necessary. Example: Amazon, E-Bay, PayPal - some of these apps are coupled and not only need the autostart to work , but also the so-called " app activation " (which appears in Autostart Manager when such apps are installed)
Disadvantage: If the apps are not configured correctly in the mask, you have more trouble than good. So, if you're not control freaks, then let's keep your fingers out of it.
But if you want to activate this function, it is recommended to do it at the end, if you have already installed all the apps you are using and not before!
- Facebook lite (original): I recommend to use this App instead of the BigBrother App Facebook - because it saves a lot of battery on Huawei P8!
- most of Google Apps from system are deleted, only the required Core-Apps not - so if you need more Google Apps - dont flash any GApps, just install it with Playstore (like Maps, Google Play Music.... )
- some nice Designs/Themes onboard (Themes will be copied to your internal storage/HWThemes - you can delete what you dont need)
- App-Clone is supported (in Huawei Launcher)
- VoLTE can be enabled in mobile network settings (if your Provider / SIM support it)
- Magisk-Edition: Magisk 15.3 with Magisk Manager 5.6.0 (please enable Magisk Manager as protected App in Phonemanager)
- Magisk Manager comes with pre-enabled settings for safetynet, dont change them. For example: AdAway works now without systemless host setting in Magisk Manager!
- Enabling systemless host in Magisk Manager Settings would break safetynet!
- You dont need Universal Safetynet Fix anymore - it break safetynet

- The system-partition in Magisk Edition must be untouched after Rom Installation, or you loose cts and basicintegrity=true

- Xposed Framework systemless by topjohnwu (SDK 23) can work with this Rom (not installed) - but it breaks safetynet!
- SuperSU-Edition: SuperSU 2.82 SR5 with modified launch_daemonsu.sh (for SELinux permissive and init.d support - note: you dont need to enable init.d with Kernel Audiutor in SuperSU-Edition)
- SuperSU-Root systemless with boot.img patching (Phone cancle first reboot after ROM Installation and boot up twice)

I like to know which Gallery and which music App did you flash and which files ? And which path did you use (which App into which directory?) Did you delete the original Huawei Musicplayer/Mediacenter and the original Huawei Gallery?

Thank You, Tecalote!
I'll upgrade from MagicArrow v1 (!) one of the following weekends (I have to force myself to backup everything first ).
Quick question about the upgrading instruction you wrote:
- I want to do a clean install from v1 (b391): don't I have to reflash an official b399 first to update baseband/etc??? I hope not!

hello
my device p8 last update
GRA-UL10_C185B391 ?

The last Firmware is from December 2016 - b382 for c185. There's no newer Update available for c185
You must not update your Firmware, just do steps from OP

If you really want to do it complete clean, you should flash for L09c432 Full Firmware b399 with Factoryreset after.
I will write in #2 how to do with links and so on...

All perfect my friend

Yes just do Install Guide from Post #1 of this Thread (OP)

I've got GRA-UL00 with MagicArrow v2. Just updated it to v3 (dirty install), works fine.
I'm using version with SuperSU but thinking to switch over to Magisk. Do i need some additional steps than unroot, wipe and flash magisk version?

Thanks for the ROM. Is the missing 2G only option because it's not in the base ROM?
3G/HSDPA seem to display correctly now. I like having the option to force 2G only as there are a couple of areas where the 4G and 3G signal is very low.
Again, thanks for the ROM.

!DISCLAIMER!
Most people I know (including myself) who used my Guides and steps, did that with success many times. If you don't follow exactly the steps or you do a mistake during the process, I do not take any responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen. However I am here to help if something goes wrong, just ask in the thread.​
AMD RYZEN FASTBOOT FIX
Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. Try the following ways:
1. Install AMD Ryzen Chipset Drivers.
2. Enable USB Debugging at device (Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging) and give authorization after connecting it to PC.
3. Use USB Hub.
4. Use USB Type-A 2.0.
5. Download this .bat file (unzip it) or manually create a .bat file with these lines below, and run it as an administrator, then reboot:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "osvc" /t REG_BINARY /d "0000" /f​reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipContainerIdQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f​reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f​Check the steps an another user did to make it work here.
If this doesn't help, unfortunately you have to use Intel System.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
Please keep in mind by Unlocking Bootloader the device will reset and all your data will be lost. Make a backup of your data first to PC or to USB.
1. Create a Mi account on Xiaomi’s website.
2. Add a phone number to your Mi account.

MAGISK ROOT SOLUTION
The easiest way to root your device is via Magisk, it should work in all ROMs, Stock and Customs.
Install Magisk:
1. Install latest TWRP Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]​2. Download the Magisk [You can find it in my Collection]​3. Reboot to TWRP Recovery by pressing Power Button + Volume Up (+) and flash it.​4. Reboot and check whether the Magisk app is installed. If it isn’t installed automatically, manually install the APK. [You can find it in my Collection]​Note: From Official TWRP Recovery 3.5.1 and onwards (and other recoveries based on that), Magisk.apk can be flashed as apk without the need of rename it to .zip. So you can simply flash the Magisk.apk in TWRP.​Manually Creation of Flashable Zip:​Download the latest Magisk APK and rename the Magisk.apk → Magisk.zip.​
Uninstall Magisk:
Flash the Uninstall.zip in TWRP Recovery and reboot. [You can find it my Collection]
If Magisk App isn’t uninstalled automatically, manually uninstall the app.
Manually creation of Flashable Uninstall Zip:
Download the latest Magisk APK and rename the Magisk.apk → uninstall.zip
Uninstall Magisk directly through the Magisk app. Simply press the Uninstall button.
DISABLE FORCE ENCRYPTION (DFE) & Encryption
[You can find it in my Collection]
Disable Force Encryption
Disable Force Encryption (a.k.a DFE) is flashed during installation of a custom ROM to avoid the system encrypting /data partition when the devices boot for the first time.​Some ROMs are not encrypted by default and so is not necessary to flash DFE. However if your ROM comes with encryption by default you can always flash DFE after clean installation of ROM and always after every update or flash or you can use any custom recovery like OrangeFox, Pitchblack, Skyhawk Recovery Project which can automatic flash DFE after every flash.​I don't recommended to use DFE if you don't switch ROMs frequently and you are casual user. Beside the fact that if you lose your device your data are not protected, many people get in confusion while doing OTA or manually updates, which if the ROM is encrypted by default and flashed DFE and in next update you forget to flash DFE you will lock out from your data and you wil get into bootloop (use custom recoveries mentioned above to avoid that).​​
Encryption
Warning - This works only on clean flash:
1. Flash ROM.zip in recovery
2. Mount vendor partition in recovery (for some reason does not mounting with newer TWRP).
3. Flash encrypt.zip.
4. Reboot to system.
Note:
The encrypt zip needs to be flashed after every update.
So flash ROM.zip and follow with encrypt zip.
Encrypted ROMs are recommended if you are stable and casual user of a ROM. Encryption have the benefit to protect your data, in case you lose your device for example. ​Always use the latest TWRP Recovery so you can be able to decrypt the data by filling the same lock screen password you have set in ROM.​Some ROMs are not encrypted by default but devs provide an Encryption.zip (script) which can encrypt the ROM. Same as DFE you need to flash it after clean installation of ROM and always after every update to stay encrypted and not get into bootloop. Unfortunatly there is not any custom recovery automatic doing that like with DFE, so you must be careful, avoid doing OTA updates and flash it every time you manually update a ROM.​
BATTERY TIPS
Advanced Guide
Simple Battery & Charging Tips
Improve your SOT
Battery Calibration
Steps:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
5. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
6. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
Overheating
Following reasons will lead to device heating issue:
During the initial setup after purchase or when restoring data.
Downloading large files.
Using apps that require more power or using apps for extended periods such as:
Playing high-quality games for long time.
Recording videos for extended periods.
Streaming videos while using the maximum brightness setting.
Using the Screen Mirroring / Smart View feature (connecting mobile to a TV).
While multitasking or when running many apps in the background i.e:
Using Multi window.
Updating or installing apps while recording videos.
Downloading large files during a video call.
Recording videos while using a navigation app.
Large amount of data for syncing with the cloud, email, or other accounts.
Exposing device under sunlight when temperature is high around you.
Extensive usage of mobile hotspot and tethering feature.
Using device in areas with weak signals or no reception or in roaming network.
Charging the battery with a damaged / unapproved USB cable.
Device's multipurpose jack is damaged or exposed to foreign materials, such as liquid, dust, metal powder, and pencil lead.
Solution:
Turn off Wi-fi, GPS , bluetooth and other connectivity options when not in use by dragging the notification panel.
Decrease screen brightness.
Close background running applications.
Too many applications installed in device may result in device heating since their corresponding process will keep on running in background. It is advised to uninstall un-necessary apps if not using them.
Avoid using apps like GPS, data dependent apps or graphic intensive games for longer duration since they require more energy to function, causing device to heat.
It is advised not to use device while charging as it may cause the device to over heat.
General:
DO:
Use manual brightness or dim the screen.
Turn off notifications for apps you don't use. Better still, delete/disable the apps entirely if you don't need them.
Enable battery or power saving mode when you want to extend your battery life.
Use the power adapter that came with your phone. Other chargers can charge slowly/faster but they can also damage your phone or battery.
Turn off bluetooth, location tracking, and Wi-Fi (unless you are actively using it)
Turn off print services from bluetooth connection preferences.
Avoid extremes of heat and cold. If your phone gets very hot or cold it can strain the battery and shorten it's lifespan.
DON'T:
Have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi turned on constantly.
Leave apps running in the background. Instead restrict background usage off apps that you don't need running.
Push email means your device is always listening for new email which drains alot of battery.
Drain your phone battery all the way to 0% or charging it all the way to 100%. Keep it between 20% - 90% for longer battery lifespan.
The more advanced the graphics and animations are (games, videos, photos, animations), the harder the processor and graphics chip in your smartphone have to work. More activity means more battery use.

How to block ads on Android.
General:
Always prefer Open Source or well popular Programs, Apps, ROMs, Kernels & Stuff.
Open Source doesn't mean it's 100% safe but it's unlikely to have something suspicious, since you and other users can check the code in GitHub or in any other code hosting platform the "stuff" is hosted.
Prefer ROMs & Kernels with SELinux Enforcing. You can find informations here.
Always download and install Apps, Programs, ROMs & Stuff from official sources and do not use redirection links from different sites. Google is your friend to find the official source of the stuff you want.
Always check the permissions an app requires, before download and install it to your device. If an app ask for permissions which has nothing to do with the app functionality then it's should be reconsider or ask the developer why these permissions needed.
If you want to avoid Google and Play Store (De-Google), you can choose a ROM without GApps preinstalled like LineageOS and use F-Droid client which is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device. Note that not all apps from Play Store will be available in F-Droid. Only Open Source projects. You can find alternatives though.
Alternative you can use LineageOS for microG or any ROM which support signature spoofing and can support microG.
For Windows use the default Windows Defender & Malwarebytes to scan your files whenever you want (Prefered before open or install them). Also use the addon/extension uBlock Origin in your Browser. These should be enough for normal users.
For Android Do not use any antivirus - antimalware since it's useless, just check what apps and from where you installing.
Always verify the source of addons/extensions in your browser. Avoid installing random and unpopular addons/extensions. Keep it minimal and clean, so browser can be fast and safe, no need bunch of extensions.
If you are using VPN, always check the terms and rules of the provider. Avoid random VPN Services.
Recommended VPN Services.
Using a VPN will not keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.
Recommended is to encrypt your data/files always before uploading them to cloud with tools like Cryptomator.
Always use unique and strong passwords for each of your accounts.
Use awarded open source Password Managers like KeePass or KeePassXC for Desktop and KeePassDX for Android to manage your passwords and have them with you safe, encrypted and secure. Must be noted you can use the same database file between these programs.
Always enable 2 Step Authentication wherever is available for your accounts.
You can use apps like Aegis Authenticator.
Do not open or click on links attached in unknown emails you may get. Always check the adress of the email and verify it's legit from the official source.
Create and use "burned" email for accounts/sites you have concerns but you definitely want to try them. Do not use your personal or business email.
CLEAN INSTALL CUSTOM ROM
You can also do the same steps below to install Stock MIUI Recovery ROM.
1. Backup all your data to PC or to external SDCard. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost on step 7 while Formating Data or Wiping Internal Storage]
2. Unlock Bootloader. [Read the Unlock Bootloader Guide above]
3. Download: [You can find everything in my Collection]
Custom Recovery of your choice.
Custom ROM of your choice
GApps (be sure you have selected Platform: ARMx64 and the proper Android version of the ROM you are going to flash) if the ROM you are going to flash does not include. [Optional]
Magisk Root Solution [Optional]
Disable Force Encryption [Optional]
4. Move all these files in one folder to your Internal Storage or to External SDCard if you have.
5. Install Custom Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]
6. Reboot to Recovery Power Button + Volume Up (+)
7. Installation:
Steps without external SDCard:
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe.
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional] > DFE [Optional - Not Recommended]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Reboot Enjoy!
Steps with external SDCard:
go to Advanced > File Manager > External_SD and delete all folders in ur ext sd card (For example you should delete: Android, .android_secure, LOST.DIR, DCIM, etc) except your personal files/folders and the folder with your custom ROM/Gapps/Magisk/DFE you want to flash.
Each app on your phone with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission may create files or folders in ur sdcard. Most of these folders have once been created by one of these apps and many of them may be deleted with a few exceptions (e.g. Android, .data, .android_secure, these contain important system or app data like a game's downloaded content):
.android_secure: apps installed and then moved to sdcard
Android: app data/cache
data: app data
.estrongs: ES file manager
LOST.DIR: sort of trash folder (collects recovered files after phone crashes)
DCIM: phone gallery's photos and previews
OTA-update: Over The Air update service
ppy_cross: an unknown third-party app's data.
So I recommend to delete them so you can put your phone/sdcard in a clean state and is guaranteed to be able to re-create these folders.
Select Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional] > DFE [Optional - Not Recommended]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Reboot Enjoy!
DIRTY INSTALL YOUR CUSTOM ROM
Note: Before you start flashing, keep in mind the ROM you dirty flashing MUST be the same with the one you have already installed.

2. Remove all Magisk modules. [Optional]
3. Reboot to TWRP and Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Vendor, Cache.
4. Flash the ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional] > DFE [Optional - Not Recommended]
5. Reboot and Enjoy!
I've skipped some explanations, because if you are going to dirty flash, you already know for example how to boot to TWRP.
