I don't think anything I have modified that cause this. Make sure you haven't debloat anything related to it. Try clearing device list and then connect.

I Did not modified anything !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jcrompton:
Sorry to be a pain in the butt

But this issue with the theme still evades me. I have gotten it to stick before for several days then unstuck for some reason

Now can't get to restick

Any chance you can explain what the "patch" is doing to make the theme stick ..... Maybe we, that are having trouble, could do it manually
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
same thing like manually move files from trialjson to userjson

Have you check this

apter applying theme - reboot - select buy option - it will get error

now select option on right side (I think it is test)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Don't know why samsung have pulled this theme from store/not updating for our device.

You know actually now I was working on this theme only, just made same notification background manually as theme store doesn't support it.

Really looks cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] taoufik.om:
- Copy the theme.apk in your phone

- Install it from the archive manually

- Expects that the application is installed

- Using RootExplorer or similar enters in data/overlays/ "folder preferences" delete only the content, not the folder.

- Then in data/overlays/jsonfiles/trialjson cuts the xxxxxx.xxx.json file

** and paste it in data/overlays/jsonfiles /userjson

- restart

- Go to the Theme Store Samsung and apply

- done
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JoeOIVOV:
What theme apk?

It's strange that when I reboot my phone removes the copy I put in userjson. It stays in the trialjson folder but if I copy it, it deletes on reboot. Anyone know why? What is checking this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Actually this theme is not for our device and Samsung have probably removed from store.

I have tried multiple times and everytime it works for me, here are steps I do follow exactly.

1.click in install black theme in રોજ Tool

2.reboot when asked

3.click on buy

4.it will start downloading

5.cancel ( x symbol beside download bar right from theme only)

Now I can see apply option, and applying it stick always.

hello all,

i have my note 8 (with OEM issue, CSC BRI/BRI/BRI) ready to be rooted. i am on stock build BQKG, dec 1, 2017 security patch & baseband BQL3. i am trying to avoid going back to jail after flashing dr's ROM, but my searching here gave me no result. so i have questions below :

1. i can't find N6 version download link, anyone knows where to get it ?

2. if N6 has been phased out, will N8 work well for my device ?

looking forward to any valuable advice. thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Currently N8_new is available, you need to select oem patch in aroma while flashing N8_new to prevent losing oem unlock after flashing rom.

N8_new reported working so no more N6 is available.

Banking apps

Havent attempted root and rom updates since my s6, do roms these days still break banking app functionality as they started to detect rooting and would not allow you to use them.. always wondered if this was something the roms were going to get around? Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mahdibassam:
You simply need to use Magisk Hide. Open Magisk Manager and then Magisk Hide, then select your banking apps. This hides root from the apps.

Follow instructions wrote couple of days ago here

Two other users reported working.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] taoufik.om:
You mean this instruction : ( *Wifi-Fix for Xeed Kernel* Some users have reported wifi doesn't save password after flashing Exeed kernel on this ROM (it reported same on Stock ROM as well). Why this happens? This ROM contains stock enforcing kernel and using securestorage and that stores password in encryption for security purpose. This was causing issue. Anyway here is fix you can use to fix forget wifi password on each boot *How to use?* It doesn't matter you are applying fix before or after flashing Xceed kernel. - Open ROM Tool - Update and Fix - Download and Install Wifi_Fix_Xceed_1_1.apk - Click on installed app, Grant SU - App icon will disappeared once fix applied. - Reboot - Connect to wifi - Needs to enter password this time - Reboot - Now it should be working fine. PS : After applying fix your password will not be remain encrypted (This is same for most custom kernels) → )

This is what's im done but not work !

It should work after second reboot. Also make sure rom tool showing busybox version on top, otherwise it may not work.

I guess I'm curious about the same thing. Have you noticed there to be a problem with 3-minute battery or clock?

I'm assuming that you don't personally use it so I was just wondering why
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I have updated for N8 y'day and there shouldn't be issue. Earlier someone reported problem because they have flashed N7 version of 3minit battery/clock on N8. No one have reported issue after I have posted for N8.

i use both 3minit clock & battery, paid version ...

the only thing i had to do, reboot for propper work!

one thing that would be nice,

information about: it is not possible using the unpaid version of 3minit battery and ad blocking

in my situation not that serious, support and donation is a must if someone can afford

but for those who can't ... it could be nice to know ...

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Sorry but I am not a developer of 3minit and I can't do anything, what I could make is already implemented, now rom tool have ad blocking Toggle.

Battery life depends a lot on user habits and phone configuration. However this ROM is pretty decent in terms of battery. Today I've been using my phone quite a lot... after 13.5 hrs of usage and 3.5 hrs SOT, I still have 52% left or approx 13.5 hrs more to go. And now it's almost 23:00 here.

I use Tweaks Pro however for optimization and also have optimized a lot of apps and services by disabling them.

On normal usage I can easely get more than 30 hrs... but than again it depends on what we consider "normal"

I'm sorry I'm a little confused.....if I have the OEM lock function from stock then all should be good, no need to run patch. Otherwise if not there then run patch during aroma setup?

Is it worthwhile to run patch regardless?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] xenix96:
well in rom instruction it says:

2.If you have OEM unlock option appeared after 7 days , Please select 'Patch OEM' option in aroma. After that OEM unlock option should remain intact immediately after flashing ROM.

Before rebooting device make sure you have OEM unlock option available in developer's option and enabled.

So OEM unlock option must be there and toggled ON before you reboot....or i understand it wrong.....please correct me if its so

Hi if I have this installed... Can I flash the lastest version available?

What should I flash after flash the ROM?

It's stock without root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Here I answering commonly for different scenario.

Firstly, you must have OEM unlock option available and Enabled before making any customization. If not, then need to wait 7 days (may be more in some cases) till option available for you.

- Scenario 1:

You are on stock ROM and just wanted to have root and custom ROM later

Sorry, you are at wrong place

Move here

- Scenarion 2:

You are on stock ROM and want to flash this ROM

Instructions are there on post #2, follow it to words. Don't Reboot between TWRP and Flashing ROM. Immediately after flashing TWRP, you must flash ROM. If your device have OEM issue - select 'OEM Patch' Option while flashing ROM. You will see this option during installation process.

If you are uncertain about your OEM status, consider your device OEM affected.

Scenario 3:

You are on XYZ version of ROM and want to flash this ROM

Follow instructions on post #2 irrespective of current version of ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SimplyCity:
My 2 cents :

- I had OEM unlock out of the box. But my N8 device appeared to be OEM affected. I was in jail for about 10 times now till patch came up.

- even if you could have non affected device, FLASHING OEM patch costs you nothing. You won't loose any feature, beside that anti theft one patch is actually disabling, but this very feature is in my opinion very s@#&$d thing.

- so I suggest you to use OEM patch ON EVERY CUSTOM ROM, EVERY TIME (EVEN IF YOU JUST DIRTY REFLASH YOUR ROM). That way you prevent OEM from disappearing.

Happy flashing. :)
