[Android Software Development] partcyborg:
Absolutely lovely. Dirac wrecked my install :(

After intsalling, audioserver now SEG FAULTS

NOTICE: Anyone running on rooted stock s8, do NOT install this or you will have to restore from backup!.

Unfortunately the s8 is bootloader locked, so i can only flash from flashfire and friends which I can't do while the system crashes before start

Trying to back me out of this mess for a bit (as a unix distributed systems expert sometimes enjoy it), and that my backup is a few days old and i really hate going back in time

And yes, if its ANYONEs fault, and to be clear i am NOT blaming anyone, its my own for not doing exactly what OP said and create a backup today.

If anyone has a suggestion on hacking my way out long just well enough to get the system booted up for a flashfire run, I'm all ears.

PS if anyone's interested here is the stack trace:
