UN1CA (/ˈu.ni.ka/) is a work-in-progress custom firmware for Samsung Galaxy devices.
UN1CA is a work-in-progress custom firmware for Samsung Galaxy devices. It's based on the latest and greatest iteration of Samsung's UX and it also includes additional features and tweaks to ensure the best possible experience out of the box. Its build system allows to automatically download/extract the firmware, apply the required patches and generates a flashable zip package for the specified device.
Any form of contribution, suggestions, bug report or feature request for the project will be welcome.
NERV is a fork of UN1CA; to make the build system work with One UI 7, we are aiming for an UN1CA-like experience with what we can do. All changes have been made under GPLv3, if you see any problems about credits at repo, please kindly report to me at Telegram, XDA or email.
