Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I've been developing with the help of Claude. As someone who frequently changes ROMs and custom recoveries, I always found it tedious to manually search through different websites and forums to find the correct, up-to-date files for specific devices.

To solve this, I built ForgeROM—a fully open-source Android application designed to automate this entire workflow.

🚀 Key Features:

• Multi-API Automation: It queries the official APIs of LineageOS, crDroid, TWRP, and OrangeFox to instantly locate the correct, official files for your model.

• Smart Recommendations (AI Integration): Includes an optional AI module that can assist you during the process (requires your own custom API key).

• Root Mode Installation (Experimental): Features a built-in flashing mechanism via root access. Please note: This feature is highly experimental and hasn't been heavily tested yet, so use it with caution.

• 100% Free & Open Source: No ads, no tracking, and no paid paywalls.

📦 Source Code & Downloads:

The project is completely transparent. You can inspect the source code, build it yourself, or download the pre-compiled .apk directly from the GitHub Releases section:

👉 GitHub Repository: https://github.com/Galaxy-Expert/ForgeROM

GSI used: LineageOS by misterztr
Working: Camera, Wi-Fi, Speaker

Surprisingly, it actually works:)

I have a Fire HD8 12th generation. Device:raspite, Model:KFRAWI, Firmware:8.3.3.8

Its susceptible to ghostlock. There's an xda forum post about getting temp root.

There's also a magisk install and start service script. It was for the wrong model but after I verified everything was the same changed the model to KFRAWI. all scripts were written for windows so I ported all scripts in to bash for Linux. After you have magisk SU you can use the Fire Tool Box to remove all Amazon related apps and OTA updates and install Google Play Services and Google Play Store. Install your launcher of choice and just disable the Amazon fire launcher from SU shell. The tablet falls back to your installed launcher of choice. Very pleased this tablet went from an Amazon add filled sack of trash to a near regular rooted android tablet. I have ZygiskNext and Vector with a couple of modules working no problem.

If you want my compiled Linux Ghostlock temp root and temp Magisk root and manager. I guess dm me.

Cant get apps to work

Since UI 8 update and they changed BIT is there still a way to root my S22ultra or at least downgrade it? Am on (E bit)

hey guys, i'm new to the whole rooting an android thing, is it possible to root my old phone (Galaxy s22 ultra snapdragon version).

if anyone can show me a tutorial on how to root it without bricking, or if there is a temp root way to do it i would gladly appreciate it :)

Need help getting temporary root on a Galaxy Z Flip 6 (April security patch) to restore legacy app data. Both Ghostlock and RootMyGalaxy report the device is unsupported. In Ghostlock, parsing only works for boot.img—the other two image files return an error stating the imgs are not Android files.Any advice or workarounds?

Help is much appreciated.

new update always strong module gives strong integrity with magisk

EDIT: Temporary gitlab link by Evoker0: https://gitlab.com/Evokerr/AlwaysStrong/-/releases

Evoker0's github account was suspended a few hours ago, right as I wanted to try and use it since specter isn't working for me. Does anyone have a backup link?

I don't want to root my phone due to banking apps. But I want to change this. I've tried some Shizuku methods but it didn't work due to oneplus/oppo/realme system restrictions...

this app just sucks. I saw on github that I had to remove the partitions, so I did and kept trying to have the patched magisk boot on my phone but I had no success. So I went to rescue my phone and THIS is what always pops up or happens. That, or the one that says "unstable network. please try again later." EVERY SINGLE TIME. Please someone help me.

Soo, Google released a new update recently absolutely destroying integrity, they check for more than integrity and (spoofed) locked bootloader so it's become WAY more tricky, yes it shows strong for you but don't fret on it one clear app data and it's gone,

What's the solution? I don't know.. for now it's just like that until devs come up with an idea

Phone and rom in pic i have magisk root

Here are the core build and porting assets for the Lenovo Tab M9 (TB310FU, MediaTek Helio G80) for anyone working on custom development or GSI bring-ups.

What's included: - Device Tree (device_tree.zip) - Raw Vendor Partition Image (vendor.img) - Kernel Source Tree

Yesterday many people are getting basic integrity even with valid keybox. The reason is that Google updated their fingerprint policy and now most A13+ fingerprints are banned. But it was fixed shortly after. New Play Integrity Fix 49.1 and TEESimulator canary 72/TrickyStoreOSS update fixed this issue. First, install/update these modules. Next, open Play Integrity Fix WebUI, turn on only first three settings, then Click on "Fetch" button and select Pixel 6-9 props. Finally, make sure that you have a valid keybox in TEESimulator/TrickyStoreOSS.

enjoy!

Hi, I wanna root my Pixel 5 running LineageOS 23.2. The stock Kernel isn't compatitable, and I'm not completely sure on how to get started. Can I just flash any Compatitable Kernel or must it be specific to the phone? Thanks in advance!!
