OFFICIAL XPOSED RELEASED!

Time to switch back to nougat!

Mr. [MENTION=6422464]mihran_thalhath[/MENTION], which rom in your book is the most similar to pure aosp i.e. with least customizations? I am asking this because of gravity box compatibility issues with roms who have their own features.

I am conflicted between JDCTEAM AOSP, AOSiP, MoKee & Cypher os.

Is there a better candidate in your mind? I ll be happy to know. Thank you for maintaining all so many nougat roms.
[One (M8) General] SlimPickens89:
It's not nougat it's OREO, but definitely stable for daily driver. I've been running this ROM for weeks now and IMHO it runs better then any nougat or Oreo ROM ATM.

Thanks.

Does the rom or the 30/06 team m8 kernel have the agps fix?
[One (M8) General] djlukas1983:
LOS 14.1 and 15 have AGPS fixed.
[One (M8) General] YouColdYet:
No, aosip and du has agps fixed. Agps is not related to kernel but to the rom itself
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Oh well, too late to request updates for nougat roms now. Wish JDC had it.

Edit:

This is a post from April. Assuming he was right and the fix wasn't removed in later builds, it should be fine.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Rom: JDCTEAM.

Here to report that the latest unofficial build of team m8 kernel caused apps like nova launcher to relaunch at some instances. It also caused some hard reboots and a few soft reboots.

The rom had the official xposed installed with magisk root.

The problem was probably related to RAM management as Google maps kept crashing when I launched it, also explains nova restarting as I use a lot of widgets.

Reflashsed the rom and now it's stable with stock kernel with above mods.

Hopefully the information is useful to someone.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
For the guys still using nougat for xposed, which roms have you been using? How satisfied are you guys with the performance and battery life of your rom? Share your experience!

I have been using unofficial JDC for around 20 days and the performance is very good. The only crashes I faced were related to multi-tasking where I had an active app in the background and used another app on the foreground, though they weren't common. All the updated modules have great compatibility, the ones I miss are greenify and battery home icon. I use 9 modules. The rom gives good screen on time, around 3 hours, more on inactive days and less on active days. The phone does get warm easily though. I use a case from aliexpress so it doesn't affect me that much.
[One (M8) General] Phalangioides:
Resurrection Remix. For a month or more.

I've been using previous RR versions for quite some time, but went back to sense. After some time I got bored and had few problems, so I've went back to RR, this time the final, 5.8.5 version and it's SO smooth - smoother than sense IMO. I'm using stock kernel.

No big problems at all, everything works, no crashes, no freezes. Only bother is that dt2w sometimes stops working and I have to reboot and music stutters a few times - nothing that troubles me much.

I'm using xposed and "exi for switfkey" module, it's an incredibly handy little thing.

As for battery I can't say much, as the phone is almost always usb tethering, so almost always 100%. When not tethering heavy activities discharge battery quickly, medium ones like browsing are average and idle is pretty good - I really can't complain knowing it's a 3 years old battery.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Unreliable DT2W is a common problem in all nougat roms afaik. Same with volume button wake. It's probably related to doze or sleep state. Sometimes if you keep tapping the off screen, it may turn on on the 8th tap.
[One (M8) General] navcar:
How is multitasking on the latest RR? I've switched to crdroid in the meantime and multitasking seems better, as in I can switch between apps without having to wait for the app to reload. On one of the later RR releases, background apps were getting killed really fast.

crdroid's configuration app and customisation options are VERY similar to RR... not much difference at all between these ROMs

(crdroid does have a problem with poweramp pro alpha 3, "java.lang.IllegalStateException: newPosition should be in the window at this point"... just waiting on LOS 15 to become stable)

Long live the m8 and custom ROMs!
[One (M8) General] thelangosta:
I have unreliable dt2w on stock sense fwiw
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
And it worked flawlessly on GPE MM ROM. I got pretty used to swipe up to unlock as well. The small vibration before the screen turns on was very satisfying.
[One (M8) General] thelangosta:
It doesn't work flawlessly on gpe for me. I haven't had any problems with it on crdroid after the most recent update.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Did you use graffixnyc's edition? The one with AROMA installer with several fixes? I used that with elemental x kernel and selected the stock double tap and swipe to wake options, the ones from htc.
[One (M8) General] thelangosta:
Yes, I think that's the one. It usually works for a while and then stops for no apparent reason. My phone is getting old.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
It's probably related to software. Mine usually disables when I am moving, i.e. when I need dt2w the most. When I am not moving, it works mostly since I use the phone frequently enough. It's kind of related to doze or deep sleep mode. I didn't have these problems with GPE or stock Sense.
[One (M8) General] Phalangioides:
I can tap like crazy, nothing happens.

It's acceptable. Not as good as sense, but I think it's better than it used to be.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Have you experienced ANY sort of reboots/crashes on this rom? JDC is pretty stable but not fully stable. How is the performance and battery life?
[One (M8) General] thelangosta:
Which rom? JDC? I'm on the stock developer edition. I was last on crdroid and had no issues with it at all.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Yeah I was asking about crdroid. And is the stock developer edition on Sense MM?
[One (M8) General] navcar:
btw where is this JDC aosp rom for the m8? I can't seem to find the thread anywhere from searching here on XDA.

Does JDC == JDCteam, the same guys who did the S4 ROMs? The S4 was my last phone before getting this m8 :)
[One (M8) General] thelangosta:
Crdroid was very stable for me but I'm not really a power user. Yes stuck Dev Edition is mm.

This person also compiled a lot other roms a couple of months ago. If you don't find the official versions, you can browse his AFH folder.

It's an unofficial build. There are reboots every few days but I can't say whether it's because of xposed modules or the rom. Also, there are a few common problems in all nougat roms. Camera with hdr on will crash when you take a second picture. Double tap to wake may or may not work sometimes. There are no major problems though, only minor ones like these.

[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Which security patch level does the latest DU nougat build have? Can someone also report on the performance/stability/battery/usage in general?

I would love to have the performance of jdc rom but it only has the security patch from July. With so many vulnerabilities recently, security is a relatively high concern this year.

Official lineage is stable but every action seems to take slightly longer than jdc. However this rom also cools down the device a lot faster even with charging so it's a compromise either way.

Another difference was double tap to wake almost never worked, even with team m8 kernel but funnily volume to wake was very consistent compared to other nougat roms.
[One (M8) General] ainaz:
September security. since I use du , it's good performance and good battery life (using 3.4.0 karnel). Dt2w, volume control to wake and gyroscope also working great on du
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
So I personally tried official Cypheros, crdroid, lineage os and mihran's 12/11 DU build over the past couple of days and honestly speaking they all felt slower than jdc. Cypheros was the closest but it drained its battery overnight so it isn't stable. The other roms I tested were stable but I couldn't make them as smooth or responsive as jdc. The fluidity difference became obvious even on the setup screen and how fast everything opens even with having 100 apps installed, around 8 xposed modules and a substratum theme. I don't know if it's the kernel, source code, my device or what, this rom flies.

My procedure of installing these roms was the same, flash rom, gapps, xposed, magisk then restore apps from playstore during setup, then restore non-playstore apps from titanium backup and then restore most user data. I made sure to not restore any system data and reset any incompatible xposed module. I used the unofficial team m8 kernel on lineage after a while to try and improve performance but there wasn't a significant difference. Amongst all the above roms, jdc was the most responsive, noticeable even on the setup screen.

I am s-on so it's only been recovery flashes from me, nothing has been touched on the backend. I know several people use crdroid, aosip or DU who say it gives good performance but I can't ignore the difference of fluidity and excellent compatability with xposed, especially gravity box on jdc.

If I didn't have a potato PC, I would seriously try and build this rom myself to bring it up to date on security patches. I know mihran personally likes and uses DU that's why he probably updated it for the October patch. If you're reading this bro, if it isn't much hassle, can you update this rom too please? This isn't a request, just a plain question if you have enough free time and resources to do so on your own accord. I don't want to be rude.

If you people who are still on nougat can create Nandroid backups, I would advice to try and experience this rom if you are curious. You can get almost any customisation from gravity box and the benefits of amplify + greenify from xposed.

Link to rom:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298973582, credits to mihran for these roms.
[One (M8) General] navcar:
Perhaps the responsiveness of the JDCTeam AOSP is because of the fact that it is 'pure' AOSP. Pretty much all other nougat ROMs out there for the m8 are LOS based, which itself is based on AOSP but with a heap of customisations and extras built on top.

I reckon this theory explains why people are liking the LOS 15 alpha m8 ROM. It's basically AOSP as they've been working to bring up device support, with barely any extra customisations added/ported in this stage of development.

Personally, I'm pretty bummed out that the final RR builds had bad multitasking. I then switched over crdroid, which didn't have the multitasking issues but for some reason the Poweramp volume was extremely low. Had a go with aokp too, same Powermap volume thing (maybe it's upstream LOS??). tbh all these LOS-based ROMs pretty much seem to be copies of each other, with only slight feature differences here and there. Once LOS 15 gets camrecorder going, I will probably switch over since its snappier + better battery with the new kernel... although I'll have to wait for some of my favourite features to be ported.

Long live custom ROMS :)
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Aosip and DU are also non-LOS based but one had a stability problem and the other had problems with gravity box and wasn't as smooth as JDC. that's why if mihran can update JDC, you won't miss any features due to gravity box module and other mods in xposed.
[One (M8) General] thelangosta:
I'd rather have the features built in and not have to deal with Xposed at all. DU is just about perfect for me (or rooted stock for that matter).
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Gravity box's navigation bar options are unbeatable and hard to replace. In my experience the rom closest to stock AOSP has performed the best across different phones. Nexus 4 also had one such rom which stood out in performance in my experience and had no stability issues with xposed. It becomes the best of both worlds. You only have to deal with rebooting to activate modules initially but flashing custom does mean we have free time in our hands to do such stuff.
[One (M8) General] thelangosta:
I can add a screen off button to stock and most other roms which for me is all I need. Xposed is better suited to stock roms that lack customization. Problems arise when noobs want to use xposed with something like RR that has all the features and they get conflicts. I appreciate all the work that went into xposed and gravity box, etc but I don't feel the need to add another layer of complexity.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
The function I was referring to was the app launcher button which can hold up to 12 apps of your choice. Its better than any recents or shortcut implementation I have seen in roms. Works faster than any multitasking gesture apart from nougats double tap recents switch. An additional button allows for more long press toggles, which in my case drops down quick settings although that function can be replicated.
[One (M8) General] msjulian750:
problem with calls

I have installed AOICP, XENON HD and RESURRECCITION REMIX FINAL 8.5 and in all these roms I have the same problem, when I receive or make a call, I only hear a noise. Did the same thing happen to someone? any solution?
[One (M8) General] navcar:
What gapps are you using? Try checking the default phone app. Setting it to the stock Phone app that came with the ROM should always be a safe option.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Don't install Google's phone app when you install gapps. Use opengapps' aroma installer. If it restarts the recovery, just mount system before flashing it. It can also save your choices for later flashes.
[One (M8) General] navcar:

Anyone here has any experience with SD Cards being adopted as internal storage (AKA Adopted Storage)?

I've adopted my SD card and migrated everything to the new adopted storage and it works well.

Problem is the apps are not being moved there. I tried to move them manually via Settings->Apps->Storage->Move but it keeps saying that I have insufficient storage even though my adopted storage has over 50gb available.

Really hard to understand how adopted storage works.
[One (M8) General] :
Good morning everyone,

in case some people have missed it - there are now AOKP Nougat nightlies available for the M8. I'm running the latest nightly now and testing the ROM.

https://plus.google.com/communities/114009911819515408480

Builds can be found here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=137020

The main difference to CM is - AOKP supports OMS fully which means Substratum is working out of the box. No reboot etc needed. So far the ROM is pretty solid, battery life is ok. Due to being CM based all CM bugs are present as well. Some key features they had during KitKat are missing. Not sure which features will get added later on. But it's good to see another solid ROM for our device =)
[One (M8) General] :
Is substratum working on xenonhd? Does anyone know?
[One (M8) General] :
So has anyone tried aokp? And what are your thoughts?
[One (M8) General] :
Generally are bootlops related to kernels or to the ROM itself..?
[One (M8) General] miffymiffy:
[MENTION=5686358]_moelle[/MENTION] you have been looking for this...
[One (M8) General] :
I couldn't test much today. Wi-Fi hotspot/tethering was not working, I couldn't connect to my Google chromecast. There is a new build available. I assume some things have been fixed. I'll test the new build later.

It's pretty much CM. As stated there aren't many features as of yet compared to RR or AICP. Nevertheless the builds have been stable at least for me. The only reason I'm still using it is because of substratum working with no issues. Not sure about the new build. I've only seen one post in the official substratum thread that says that all OMS commits are present and substratum is working - which I can confirm. No reboot was needed when I applied my theme and themed Nav bar - so it wasn't legacy either. I hope that goes for the new build as well.

Not everything within the ROM has been translated. That might be an issue for some. Look at the ROM as CM with working OMS. It's a daily driver for me. I don't need all features which are baked in within other ROMs. Some might miss those. If you're happy with CM, you'll be happy with AOKP. But if you need plenty of options AOKP is not the right ROM for you as of now.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Hey [MENTION=6422464]mihran_thalhath[/MENTION], seeing as you updated DU to the last builds for nougat and are moving to Oreo builds, can you also kindly do the same for JDC nougat build? The ROM is perfect for speed but its on July security patch. There is no alternate for those looking for a cleaner AOSP build that's updated to the latest security patches. I hope its not a huge hassle to your plans.
[One (M8) General] mihran_thalhath:
Try this

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634802232
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
Holy s***, thank you so much for that. I'll try it when I am free soon enough. Dirty flashes will be safe right?

Edit: Dirty flashed but asked for a password on reboot like when you encrypt and enable the option to enter it during boot. Kept saying incorrect password, I use a pin.

Edit2: While I was able to boot by entering default_password, I couldn't change it or get it removed by setting up a pin again and setting the password on boot option to off. Also the reboots take a lot longer than previously, probably because of that, but its unusually long. I can't factory reset atm.

Edit3:Enabling the pin on boot option worked properly but when I turned it off, it went back to default_password again.

Edit4: Deleting the 5 password and lock files in /data/system didn't help. They only remove any password/pattern you had. The only way out is to remove encryption by formatting data or restoring back up of July build.

The reason I don't want this to happen is incase my phone reboots overnight (which it did once), my alarms can still work or phone calls can still be received. I missed an important meeting because of this. For now, I will be going back to the July build unfortunately until I can format /data.

[One (M8) General] Phalangioides:
Duo cam only works on sense roms.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
It works on GPE 6.0 as well.

Also under a different heading, official Google camera 3.1.021 isn't crashing when taking HDR photos consecutively, unlike some other apps which come with ROMs or google camera 2.7. It is producing images with higher sharpness and sometimes more aggressive hdr than 2.7. Under exposing in 2.7 also gave more colour detail most times but it doesn't apply in 3.1 as much. Focusing and processing HDR also seems faster in 3.1. Tapping the screen in order to focus however messes up HDR and sometimes the app as well. Lens blur also can crash during processing. But overall, I don't have to deal with camera crashing since I like using HDR to cover for bad dynamic range of normal photos so I highly prefer 3.1.
[One (M8) General] MrKapper:
