I had S View working with last LineageOS ROM, and when I bought the phone with the official ROM as well.
Now, I've installed the last official stock ROM and it doesn't work.
I've tried this with no luck:

I have the same problem as the guy in this video:

Any idea of why it works in custom ROMs but not in the official?

Hello everyone,
Yesterday for the first time I tried OmniROM, coming from CM 10.1, because I wanted to try Android 4.4 on my Note 2.
So I went to OmniROM's homepage to grab the ROM but all I found were nightlies. I then downloaded the latest nightly (11/26) which got me stuck in boot animation first, then crashed and burned horribly during Setup Wizard.
So I searched the net looking for another option and stumbled upon this ROM from DownloadandroidROMS.com, or whatever is was called, which hosts basically every Android ROM under the sun:
4.4-20131112-N7100-HOMEMADE
I loaded it through CWM, then Gapps from PA, then SuperSU, and everything is great. I'm one happy 4.4 root user.
Questions:
1. What is the HOMEMADE thing? Is it safe (in the way of spyware/malware)? Is it like the "Stable" release from CM?
2. How come I could not find it on OmniROM's official homepage?
3. This ROM was apparently released on 11/12/2013, so when can we expect the next release, if this is the stable version?
Homemade is just the default name for a self-built rom. Regarding safety... you have to trust the guy who made the rom...
HOMEMADE is to omni what UNOFFICIAL is to CM
Hello xda,
one week ago i bought a used S5 G900I with 5.0 stock rom, everything worked fine, i updated to official mm and everything worked fine too, and then i desided to do what i do with all my android phones to flash cyanogenmod as a daily rom.
I rooted it, flashed twrp, clean install all roms like:
cm12.1 cm13 official
temasek cm13
mokee mm
ressurection remix 6.0.1
and anything else i could find as 6.0.1 custom rom with cm base
i use cm13 as everything works fine except camera and flash as in ALL other roms
i flashed kltedv roms only all with clean install..
tried to return to official and camera worked but with custom roms its not working!
if everyone could give me a fix or what cause this, will be very appreciated!
thanks in advance!
I've been for a long time on CyanogenMod but I've decided to take a fresh start and reinstall OOS, I used to be on the 3.0.1 firmware and everything was working great. But OOS is buggy and I used to get better battery life on custom ROMs sooo yeah. I've never tried lineage os but I think that it still runs on the older firmware, do you know ROMs working on the latest firmware ? Thanks !
Almost all roms. Exept you may find one where VoLTE is not working.
No roms run on the newer firmware as oneplus sources are from 3.0.x.
Until nougat is released we will not see updated sources.
Hi, my girlfriend have this phone and i install the last pixel experience ROM, but now i want install the last official stock ROM (pie). Any tutorial for do this? Thanks
Hello !
Has anyone actually managed to get any custom ROM to work on a Samsung Galaxy A40 SM-A405FN/DS ?
Mine is currently running the current latest stock ROM (SM-A405FN_2_20211030045838_jg43vcqbiw_fac) downloaded with Frija and I managed to install TWRP from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-a40-teamwinrecoveryproject-3-6-x-unofficial.4364575/
However, ANY custom ROM that I try to install :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/a11-r-arm64-a40-lineageos-18-1-unofficial-by-kevios12.4335409/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/eurekaroms/files/Samsung/A40/R/lineage/
GSI
maybe others that I forgot
will either bootloop or end up with a black screen.
Looking at the following threads, I'm starting to wonder if the SM-A405FN/DS is custom-ROM-compatible at all ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-my-a405fn-wont-boot-any-custom-rom.4337041/

Im running CrDroid 7.13 without any issues with root and gapps. Many custom roms bootloop because of your newer firmware with Bit/SW REV.
Security Patch Lvl. being 4 and those custom rom were built on the older firmware with probably patch level 3. I had installed DotOS fan edition fully working like a year ago, then I tried some new custom roms, which somehow broke my system so the system couldnt start up even after reflashing original boot image, so I reflashed to the newest firmware which was working, then I tried flashing older one and it wouldnt boot, it just shows black screen with error bit/sw 3 boot 4. So you have to flah roms, whose are built on the newer bit level to boot up, the best is CrDroid and now the newest ALT-F4 version 0.0.3 from this forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-oneui-3-1-a40-alt-f4-v0-0-1-updated-2021-12-18.4373813/
I tried it myself and it is the best for this phone, it is fully debloated and pre-rooted stock rom. I also tried CrDroid 8x, everything works for me, but it fells slow and the ram is almost maxed out. I also recommend upgrading to this TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-for-galaxy-a40-a405fn.4025587/
The unofficial twrps had some bugs for me. I hope this helps and happy flashing!
THANK YOU for your comprehensive reply !! I'll give ALT-F4 a try as soon as I can !

Good luck!
Well, luck has not been enough: after updating TWRP to the official version, I tried yesterday to install ALT-F4 0.0.3 but got the exact same result: black screen, need to reflash the stock ROM to make it boot (even to recovery !!) again.
Would you have any other idea ?
EDIT:
I actually tried crDroid in the past, to no avail either.
