All up and running surprisingly well.

Thanks for keeping this great little phone alive.

Noticed a few minor issues I’ll add in a separate post.

Steps taken to install:

Download ROM

Extract recovery.img

Power off phone

Put phone in download mode

Flash extracted recovery.img

Boot recovery

Format data

Power off phone

Put phone in download mode

Flash twrp.img

Boot recovery

ADB sideload ROM

Reboot

Initial setup issues:

1.) Notification tones don’t play when selected. Not tested with a live notification yet.

2.) Screen lock doesn’t stick until you’ve rebooted and try again.

3.) No private space.

4.) Music app no sound. Obviously related to Issue 1. Sound will play on YouTube music via the browser though.

5.) Dynamic colours not working so doesn’t feel like a 16.

6.) Health fitness & wellness not working - step counting

If you don’t mind I’ll add further issues here as I find them.

Could easily be a daily driver if items 1 & 6 in particular were resolved.

Confirmed sound fixed :+1:

Is there a fix in the works for Physical Activity Tracking?

My testing model is SM-G950F. Installation and boot went without any problems.

There are a lot of additional options in settings (touchpad, mouse, VR…) so that’s a nice touch.

For me step counter (physical activity permission) works fine and it measured almost the same number of steps like my main phone:

I didn’t try to sync it with google fit though.

Another nice one, thanks @ronnz98 !
