ChangeLog L8_new

L8_new is just L8 with S-View cover fix. If you already downloaded L8 then simply applying S-View Fix will be fine and no need to download L8_new

About L8 : (Some difference form previous version of N4 based ROMs L6 and earlier)

Installation Instruction

If you are on L6, simply flash L7 without any additional steps. If you are on any other base follow below said instructions.

-ROM built in CSC is same as base (singapore) If you want to set CSC India then immediately after flashing ROM Flash csc_N910G_india.zip without reboot in between.

Installation Instruction (MUST READ before flashing ROM)

If you are on any ROM other than base of ROM, you have to flash bootloader otherwise device won't boot.

1.Download ROM from link shown below in download.

2.You must check MD5 of downloaded ROM and it must be match with provided in download section. Always recommended to check MD5 on device itself as sometimes file can be corrupted while transferring from PC to device.

3.You must have CWM recovery on device. Link to recovery is Flashing ROM using TWRP reported some Extra setting NOT working

Chenglu's CWM Recovery (fixed Nandroid error) - Flash using Odin. All credit and Big thanks to [MENTION=3084245]Chenglu[/MENTION]

4.To flash ROM root is not required but if you have never backup your EFS then I strongly recommend to root your device first (If not already) then make EFS backup before flashing ROM. Though it's not required to make EFS backup every time you flash ROM but follow developer instruction and if it is recommended with particular version then you must backup again.

You can use this tool OR can get from Play store to backup EFS.

5.ROM flashing

Copy your downloaded file to device then reboot device to recovery (must be CWM/TWRP)

Select wipe data (Factory reset)

Select to Install file and navigate to your ROM file

Flash

6.Once flashing finished and you are not already on BOF1, just flash N910G BOF1 bootloader and modem

After flashing switch off device and reboot to download mode (don't select reboot to download mode option from recovery)

Download N910G BOF1 bootloader and modem extract to get tar.md5 and flash using PDA/AP tab of odin.

7.It may take 8-9 min to boot keep patience.

8.READ Post #3 for Bug / Fix discussion.

Download

DON'T FORGET TO READ ADDON & BUG FIX SECTION (AT END OF THIS POST) BEFORE FLASHING ROM.

​

Known Bug and Fix (if available)

- Auto brightness too dim - once enable and then disable power saving mode from quick panel toggles.

- SHealth FC - Update from galaxy App to fix

- Smart remote FC - updates from galaxy app to fix.

-Soft key light not working - Workaround is to use gravity box)

- Finger scanner - It may FC when you registering finger and it can't read properly. But still you can continu registering. Also if you set finger scan as unlock screen security, you may get one or two FC after boot but after that it should work fine.

- Selective Focus mode of camera not working. It can capture but playing scene will cause FC.

- PC may show device name as N3 and it's just cosmetic. Still you need to correct read this
