.::Gnabo ROM Port For Note 8 GT-N5110 with Tab S MagazineUX [SE Version]::.

"A COMPLETELY UNIQUE BRAND NEW ROM FOR GALAXY NOTE 8! aimed at giving you the BEST core features of latest TouchWiz UI, and much much more!"​

.::IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!::.

First; Before you start questioning and posting here, please do understand that you need to carefully read all these instruction below, not just first post (OP), but following several posts (#2,#3, #4, etc) these posts are also part of this OP post. It is very very critical to read and have clear understanding how SE version of this ROM works and can be customized, failure to not read all the instructions and not able to follow, you will get lost, most likely you will soft-brick your device.

Second; It is important to ask yourself; "how old my device is, over 2 years and counting", what we are doing here is

pushing the limits

and giving you something totally new and

possibly one of kind ROM here in Note 8 community

. There's a lot of effort went in to make this ROM (both side; andrei1412, Mikyno and myself), so please do respect that. Every effort made to make this ROM as stable as possible it can be, but there's always some stuff may or may not work the way you wish it could, so be open-minded about it and before asking stupid requests (like can we have lollipop apps ported!?), ask your self "can I live with this ROM with small bugs, and be my daily drive?" if you answer this YES, then this is your ROM.

.::CHANGE LOG::.

[B]Gnabo ROM Port For Note 8 GT-N5110 with MagazineUX [SE V3.0][/B] [I] July 8th, 2018[/I]
-Initial Release

.::BUGS::.

This ROM is quite stable for daily drive, but like all custom ROMs, here are some small known bugs, which I am NOT considering as showstoppers:

Smart pause/scroll still does not fully working (will look into more)

Reading Mode still don't work (Sorry, no ETA, please do NOT ask)

Settings --> location --> My places, adding name in name field causes FC on settings.

Settings -->Wallpaper is buggy -- to set the wallpaper on home screen; long press empty screen and pick wallpaper app. Reason for that because it uses newest SecWallpaper app from other Samsung tablet, which does not plays nice with this ROM's Setting wallpaper options.

Toolbox menu in settings will not be implemented as in this secsettings it's really buggy (unfixable). Use S5 toolbox addon app provided in the ROM to choose which apps you want in toolbox (more than the stock 5 apps). Don't add more than 10 apps because you will get bootloop! In addition, when toolbox is on, install button of .apk files won't work. Disable toolbox to install apks outside playstore.

.::WHAT NOT TO EXPECT::.

Frequent updates

Fancy Aramo installations

Bugs free experiences

Problems will be solved quickly/ultimately

Individual/feature requests (i will listen, but no promise)

.::THANKS & CREDITS::.
