[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
Hi guys,

Just got this awesome phone and first thing I did was looking for a custom ROM. This one looks like one I like :)

I even debloated the zip a bit more before I installed it. Everything seems to work out fine, but for some reason the following Gapps always get installed (which I don't like):

-Duo

-Play Music

-Play Movies

-Photos

-Drive

I have looked everywhere, but I can't figure out which apk('s) is/are causing this. Does anyone know?

Cheers!

yes try reflashing the CSC and in aroma don't select the 5 signal bar option.. it wont delete your system

i had the same problem in XAA where wifi calling didint work. after removing the option it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jfm91:
That didn't work for me
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
Ok, never mind. I figured it out myself. Apparantly the set-up wizard forces installatation of these apps right after initial setup. They are not installed in system or anything, so I can just remove them directly after :)

I did find another 'issue' though: when I turn on Do Not Disturb mode, I don't get an icon in the status bar. Any clues? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] furyau:
Thanks for update Tkkg1994 - i like a clean stock Rom and yours has been great.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Tkkg1994:
Exactly google forces us to install them.. but as you noted you can easily uninstall them manually :)

About the disturbe mode, this rom is fully stock without any mods, unless you made something on your setup that's how samsung is doing it :fingers-crossed:

Thank you :) :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
So you don't have the icon as well? I think I saw the icon before, so it is something Samsung added (or better: removed :)) in the latest update.

Stupid, because now you have no idea if DND is on or not :p

We'll see, maybe they'll add it again in the next update!

[MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION]: How do you determine which files you (can) remove to debloat? I know there are huge lists for older phones (S4 / S5) that state which apk is what and which are safe to remove etc. I couldn't find any list like this for the S8 (yet).

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
I have been doing this for years and you get to know what to freeze or uninstal you can use the old lists as a guide and work from that i have removed a lot and the rom remains stable if i can somehow get the report or log from TB ill post it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
that would be awesome. i too have some experience and know the 'basics', but with every new android versions or samsung phone, new apk's get added.

it's quite hard to figure out what everything does and what the dependencies are.

although, i do know that you can remove very, very much and still keep a 'working' phone :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Is there a way to make a list using TB to show you with out doing 50 screen shots lol but yeah most of it is bloat ware like you can pretty much freeze everything but there is a few apps you can actually delete with out causing a unstable rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
These are all the apps that are frozen and rom is still stable..... on the 3rd screen shot you will notice its half of the 2nd one because thats only way could do it but you will still see these are the apps to freeze bit before you try to root delete freeze and then delete if you feel it will be ok but still do a nandroid back before any of it please lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Hahaha tagged myself instead of you lol sorry cant undo with out deleting and cba to redo lol sorry bro

Google wallpapers gives me FC. Is that normal for Samsung devices or is it ROM related?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] carlossantana05:
[MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION]

I lost those masks that my camera had, how do I get them again?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Tkkg1994:
Install via samsung store :)

Not normal, I assume that the app lacks some permissions in Settings!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] srdjanLeo:
When I tap on any wallpaper within the app, it starts loading, freezes and Force closes.

I checked permissions and Storage is allowed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
i just tested with the latest play store version and i can confirm the issue (with wallpapers).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Tkkg1994:
Have you both maybe removed samsung themes and/or samsung gallery?

Sent from my BatMan powered SM-G955F
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] srdjanLeo:
No, because I use them.

Though, I have Galaxy s8 Black theme installed. But why would that be an issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] infin1t3void:
How do I update to the 1.4 version from 1.3?

Also are there gonna be OTA updates in the future? Because the OTA Updater app doesn't work for some reason :/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Is anyone experiencing S health not syncing saying this.....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] carlossantana05:
[MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION]

The version 1.4 batstock is giving me good battery life, an approximate 6 hours of screen to a medium intense use, games, facebook, whatsapp, intagram, youtube, navigation, data activated always and wifi always activated, synchronization activated, dark theme Totally and automatic brightness, I can not complain the tranajo is well done, thanks again, at the end of the day let them catch, a tip if they can use the USC csc I recommend them because the phone signal is not so high and consumes Less battery life. Without any complaint, I am pleased, continue the same or better because I know you can.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Tkkg1994:
OTA has been killed, reason: it doesn't work. It's not my services and we will maybe introduce something else :)

The theme should not be the issue, the reason I asked was because a missing apk can cause your problem

Have you installed the correct csc?

Hello carlos!

Thank you for your detailed review and your good feedback, very happy that you are pleased with this release! :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jack allen:
Hey bro sorry just seen this..... i am on btu csc and from uk so i assume thats the correct csc or do i need my providers csc which is vodafone??? Thanks for reply brother

Brother I want to make a contribution, here I leave you a pack with many sources for those who want other sources in their s8, the only thing they can not update the app "Samsung fonts" https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/font-pack-966-fonts-one-apk-s6-s6edge-t3154336 after installing the rom, I will also leave a link That takes you to a post by a person who created a very nice theme to see if you can add it to the rom for more personalization.https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/theme-bodhisattva-t3652515
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] srdjanLeo:
So what do you think it can be?

Other apps with wallpapers work just fine, so I think it has to be a Google wallpapers related problem.

Nevertheless, this ROM is best one yet. I can use another app for wallpapers. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Tkkg1994:
There is a specific vodafone csc in the csc selection V1.2.1 :)

Thanks for the links, I'll check them out! :good:

I can't think about any other problem than google wallpaper itself :/

Sorry that I couldn't help

[MENTION=5899304]Tkkg1994[/MENTION]

i can't say for sure if it's the rom or something i did (because i changed to this rom within a day after i got the phone :) ), but sometimes my statusbar is unresponsive. I can try and try and try to pull it down and nothing happens. Then suddenly after 10 tries or something, it seems to work again.

do you have ANY clue on what might be causing this? does anyone else experience this with the s8?

i tested the screen and checked a few things, i think i can exclude a bad screen as a probable cause.

cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] young_fresh:
never experienced something like that. but I want to go back to stock rom with some modifications, so I am downloading this rom right now. guess I'll be sticking to stock kernel this time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
i resetted all app permissions in settings and suddenly the DND icon was back! now i've been using the phone for a day, and i had to set some permissions again and.... DND icon is absent again!

so it is still there, but somehow one of the app permissions blocks the icon (?)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] argoniq:
Hi!

Previous versions had a menu to limit the data usage per app in data usage section.

Theres a way to have this in 1.4.0?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ciaox:
system ui notifications get blocked. im getting this issue too on bat man rom. doesnt bother me because DND shows on volume key press.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
ah, wow. thanks. i now know what's causing it. now i'll have to figure out how to solve it :p

i tried system ui tuner app, but that doesn't work...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Daniman4:
Hey, the ROM is amazing although I'm missing one thing, there's no vibrate response when I'm unlocking my phone with my Fingerprint, any way of fixing/changing that?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] bethedealer:
Some apps are still installed even I did not check them in aroma installer, e.g. bixby, smart switch

Anyway a very nice rom. Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Tkkg1994:
Sorry for the messed up post, tapatalk doesn't work well with quotes.. :(

That is a csc feature. It was provided by the chinese operamax app.

However many people thought it is a trojan (since the app name was only in chinese) so I removed it to prevent people claiming I install trojan on phones

You go to applications, show system apps, systemui, notifications in this case

Hey :)

It's exactly the opposite:

No feedback = unlocked

Vibration feedback = unsuccessful unlock attemp!

Some apps can also be installed via the csc which I do not edit or change.

Thanks for the feedback!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] argoniq:
Thanks!

I think this is one of most fabulous features of your rom lol

Theres a way could I flash this feature over 1.4.0?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sniperwolf64:
Hi,

Is the zero camera mod included in this rom? Also what is the difference between Batrom and Batstock? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] cookie1953:
BatMan = mods

BatStock = as close to stock as possible
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
i can see the notifications are 'blocked', but there is no option to 'unblock' them. is this somehing that is set on a higher level? e.g. solvable with adb command or something? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Tkkg1994:
Yes by installing chinese csc onto your phone :D

But I don't suggest you to do so unless you really want to mess with it

Exactly, thanks for explaining :)

No idea, you may want to try to reset systemui data and check if it works again? Must be something you've changed

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaf666:
Hello everyone,

I extremely confused with this version. I just bought a second hand s7 in Abu Dhabi. So, first of all once i got it, got home and tried to update the phone using the normal check for updates method. But doesnt even start the download, and it says that some error occured.

After checking for more details on why that was possible i found out the following:

Manufacture/Brand:

Samsung / Verizon

Phone model: SM-G930F

Device type: Heroqltevzw

Bootloader version: G930VVRU4API3

PDA version/CSC version: G930FXXU1BPIA

baseband: G930VVRU4API3

Latest firmware: not found.

[IMG="Reference 2"]https://pictub.club/image/7H2gQG https://pictub.club/image/7H2jM1[/IMG]

Objective is to root and update the phone to 7.0.

Thank you very much, sorry if this is a repost, but i have checked everything but i am still pretty confused with the versions and never dealt with verizon phone before. Thanks again.

Luis

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] maxyoda:
History:

I pre-orderd an s8 plus phone directly from samsung.com. I have enjoyed the phone with no issues until last weekend when the bottom microphone stopped working. Thus began the problem.

I contacted support, where it seemed my only option was to ship the phone to Samsung for an ~2 week turnaround. No loaner phone, no other options. When I suggested this would be very inconvenient, I was asked to go to my carrier (who referred me back to Samsung as the phone was purchased directly), and then to the Samsung Experience Center in my local Best Buy. The Samsung rep there also referred me back to phone support, after confirming the hardware problem.

I asked for other options, and was apparently escalated to a higher group that was to call me back with 48 hours. No call back. Called again, to again be referred back to the same group with a 24 hour call back. No call back. Contacted them again today to find my ticket was cancelled without talking with me or any resolution.

It still appears that my only option is 2 weeks without a phone. Seems like a bad choice to buy direct.

Is this typical? Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
Many users come across similar issues with different OEMs and that is very sad, but at least you have a warranty and Samsung is agreeing to take your phone in for repair. The new update is coming soon for unlocked s8(+) devices. The reason I mention this is that T-Mobile released an update 6 or so days ago and in the change log with different improvements they also mentioned this: Qualcomm update for microphone fix. It may possibly be a software issue that could be fixed by this coming update. I don't know if that is really related to your issue, but I have read somewhere on the web that other users had microphone issues with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DAvid_B:
Samsung seems to only move phone's forward in repair on Mondays. Make sure you send it in so it gets there before the Friday before Monday. I sent mine in twice, they got it both times on Thursday and didn't actually log it in thier system till Monday. So disappointing. They have terrible support, terrible phone support, and terrible repair times.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
Isn't there an authorized service center somewhere in your city?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ocujos:
I wish Samsung's support was like Apple's.

They replaced my faulty iPhone 6 with a brand new unit after trying to fix it for exactly 10min (they said that before they even looked at the phone).

The Apple store "genius" also apologised for the inconvenience!

Samsung, are you listening?

I also own a Sony Xperia XZ Premium and S8, so no, I'm not an Apple fanboy.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rav101:
Is anyone here using Leandroid to turn off wifi, GPS, Bluetooth and drop from 4g to either 2g or 3g connection when the screen is off? I had tried on OOS Andrew on CarbonROM but can't get the data connection to change from 4g.

Anyone had any success with this or could point me to another app that does the same?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
There's no point in changing from 4G to 2G, it won't save battery. In fact it will likely make it worse since the radio will be active for much longer during the sync process, especially if there's a fair amount of data to sync. Only thing that would really help is turning off WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, or mobile data all together.

Hi.

Does anybody know what the external antenna connector actually is? I can't find any information about it nor even a pigtail to fit it so I can attach an external antenna - and I've looked in the repair/disassembly manual already.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.

Resume the project but also achieve nothing, replace the lib they have on your list and only throws black screen
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
Do you mean the list of libs I have listed on the lineage 13 thread?

I had same result too, it did not boot when they all were changed. I did not go back and add them one by one to see if it was one lib that did it.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yepi15:
Exactly in fact modify the boot.img and I almost make hard brick.

Are many lib to try but I think it can work I see it is the same nomenclature
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yepi15:
And the lines of the camera of your boot.img are very different from the one of the stock img
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
You mean stock bot img to that build or stock to the phone.

TBH i didnt even try to use any of the boot.img from the moto build, I only used the boot.img from the rom I tried to port from "Life Max"

Going to try now with R1 kernel inside the moto ramdisk and same changes as I had Before , (no libs changed yet)
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yepi15:
If I know what you did, I ask why you did not change anything about it? I gave bootloop
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] mrmazak:
These are the changes made to the boot.img that I used.

Original boot.img was from lineage os for "life max"

And I unpacked it and replaced the following list from files for R1-HD V21

.boot.img-board

.boot.img-cmdline

.boot.img-kernel

.ramdisk/init.project.rc

.ramdisk/ueventd.mt6735.rc

.ramdisk/ueventd.rc

So if same approach was made with the boot.img that was with the Moto version of lineage maybe it will work better.

FYI

what I do to test boot.img changes. Because as you recently found out. Problem with boot.img has made the recovery fail to load on this R1 phone. (soft brick)

Install the rom with the known working boot.img, then when you have made changes to boot.img that need testing. Do not flash it but use "fastboot boot test-boot.img"

That way if it fails to load all you need to do is reboot phone, and your back to working condition.

UPDATE:

just took the moto boot.img and replaced just the kernel part and it boots.

so will post that for you to try with.
