Hi dr.ketan..... did anyone test this Rom with a Gear VR? I had problems in the past with some kernels,Roms, Gear VR will no longer detect a device,if plug into the gear VR.....

Do you have any idea, when the first Oreo Rom will be released for Note 8? Internet said, rollout has began at 01 2018, but on sammobile, there is not one version released on any country....

Thx a lot for your great work, since note 1.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I am using Gear VR (Used on N7, yet couldn't get time on N8) without issue.

Regarding Oreo no one know except samsung :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] joe.sebin:
It didn't work doctor, still getting closed when trying to open. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] atonal:
Then,you should :) Gear VR on Note 8 is amazing..... you have the new one with controller? With Note8, it's very fast and is very high on brightness.

I give a try to your Rom, on note 8 i had just stock Fw used, just using magisk for root rights to run viper sound. But i am very interested in your Rom...stay active,your work always was great....:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:

Yes doctor, that worked. Thank u very much.

Hi ketan. I was using Adguard till N6. But since i installed N8 im not able to use Adguard. Is it related to secure wifi or so? It shows dialogue that im using custom firmware or wrong firmware configuration.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Ad guard is ad blocking app? If so then I don't think it should have anything with Secure Wifi. By the way ROM is already Ad free Pre activated and no need to use other blocker, still you want to use, first you need to disable from ROM Tool and reboot(when OEM unlock appear)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] puddingoz:
Have you seen this Doc found on other thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Haven't seen but just now checked on my device and value is 1 still my device doesn't have oem issue. So I doubt only changing value may fix. If that property alone is responsible then my device shouldn't have oem Toggle right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JeremySS:
There is an associated app as well. I don't know if this will work but it makes as much sense as anything else. Can you check to see if you have the referenced app? Here is the thread https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75360965&postcount=22

Maybe link to the OEM thread Jeremy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I have read post and seems our issue is different, he clearly stated that he couldn't find to flash custom binaries who have rmm state prenormal in bootloader mode. That is what we have on N8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JeremySS:
OEM thread has become a long and winding road, this is linked to the thread about rooting under the newer bases for the potential maybe hopeful fix.

(BTW, nice BlackBird. I've got a 1999.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] puddingoz:
Yes but RMM state expires when the OEM toggle appears so that's only a 7 day wait for most,maybe these mods in a custom rom can stop it returning when flashing.

Ok I'll leave it with you.....re XX SENSATIONAL???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Nothing hard if any oem affected device owner want to give a try. Simple add line in build.prop and delete app before flashing a rom

If needed simple flashable zip with script can me made for newbies
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] puddingoz:
In jail atm,can't do anything til Sunday but I'll definitely be up for it,can you mod your N8 rom and re upload ?,or not that easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tolga_23__:
doctor Note 5 Note 8 port did okay, if you think it would be S8 port plus port Note 8 You have now finally have the opportunity to do, appropriate? something like that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JoeOIVOV:
Good point sorry, wrong order. Flash twrp, n6 w/ oem patch, then no verity.

I've actually only been able to do this once or twice cause of jail wait times but did it yesterday to be sure an works great.

[MENTION=2316670]drke[/MENTION]tan

Thanks for your work, finally got my device today, OEM unlock visible out of the box (yay!), flashed your ROM (N8) with my ATT CSC

OEM remains visible

Wasn't sure if needed but I flashed Xceed kernel

And I added the lines listed in build.prop here .... https://xdaforums.com/samsung-a-ser...y-patch-sm-t3739225/post75360965#post75360965

And deleted app

OEM remains

Couple of questions:

Upon reboot my WiFi passwords apparently are lost ,, does that have anything to do with the added build.prop lines?

I checked Center Clock when installing but clock is not Center , whats the best way to get there?

What is the best Dark Theme that you have found for your ROM and device?

I donated today - do i still need to request a Pro version for the ROM control app?

Thanks again!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JoeOIVOV:
I will try this today. I just got oem back yesterday an I found the script to remove rlc and add that line to build.prop.

I ran it on N6 an it didn't break it but I will try n8 an run this script RMM_State_Bypass before starting it up an report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] FouadMODS:
I have the v7.. so must to factory reset to upgrade to v8 or i can just upgrade to v8 above the v7.. coz i dont want to lose my apps and data
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JoeOIVOV:
Just do twrp backup first then try, it seems you don't have oem issue so no harm in trying after backing up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mahdibassam:
[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] Thanks for the great work.

Ok my OEM unlock is there now after 7 days on my new replacemement note 8 (water damaged and replaced).

SO, now that i have OEM unlock, is there any step i should take after flashing twrp and your N8 rom to prevent it from dissapearing? it dissapeared quite a lot on my first note 8 and i had to revert to stock from a custom rom like 3 times
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] FouadMODS:
No i dont have a oem issue.. yes i always make a backup before flashing.. but i mean if i upgrade above the v7 will get a error on some apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JoeOIVOV:
So I was finally able to reboot on something other then N6,

I was already running N6 w/ OEM Patch and was able to reboot and install things everything working great. I was reading about the RMM_State_Bypass_Mesa.zip and it made complete sense.

So I went into TWRP did factory reset, then installed N8 w/ OEM patch then installed no-verity-opt-encrypt 6.0, then installed RMM_State_Bypass_Mesa.zip, and then I installed TMO_CSC.zip and rebooted.

Came up quickly, didn't setup google or anything just checked to ensure OEM unlock was showing and then tried to reboot.

Reboot worked great, no red letters. I've actually rebooted a few times now and no red letters.

It seems that RMM_State_Bypass_Mesa.zip is the key to preventing the jail so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JoeOIVOV:
heres the proof

-edit: took out the pic with my serial
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ferbee:
So is N8 okay for OEM issue users or no?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JoeOIVOV:
In my experience, just make sure to flash RMM_State_Bypass_Mesa.zip after you flash N8 w/ OEM patch. This will work in my case at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JoeOIVOV:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
For N8 sure, it will be up tomorrow or day after tomorrow. For S8 if some users report working this ROM for them then pro will remain sane for both. There is no plan for separate thread and support for S8

Hello Doc

After 7 days and OEM Unlock appears. I flash the rom, initial configuration show me that will restart my phone after 30 segs, in the process i end up with the no original binaries issues, return to stock to wait another 7 days ;(

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I will make instruction on OP to prevent this. Actually ROM Tool flash Busybox on first reboot and that needs reboot.

If you don't grant supersu access tto ROMTool when it prompts, then it won't force to reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fragtion:
Hey Doc, I see the guys at OEM unlock thread appear to be making some progress (still unconfirmed if the new method works for sure) which involves flashing TWRP, Magisk, and ROM, but part of making it works involves not restarting the device. I'm not too sure on all the steps tbh but I'm hoping to install this ROM when my OEM unlock returns on Saturday. I am just worried about this step "SIM Changed and there is Option to RESET and Restart" with CSC change etc, as that is where I saw the Unofficial binaries error last time I tried to flash. I see you plan to update the instructions on OP - so you already have some ideas for applying the new method with this ROM? Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
This step is optional, You can avoid clicking on RESET and Restart, Instead select 'Later' option. I am updating to OP for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nitol:
Hellooooo....boss, i am here, received it today
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] krabman:
There are a half a dozen guys who have done it now, it appears to work. Once you go into bootloader mode you must be holding vol up/bix/power when you hit the button in odin to flash TWRP. If you fail to do that it's going to give you the binaries message and you will never get into TWRP. At that point you'll be back to waiting for a week. Follow that step and once it does go into TWRP after the flash you must remain there until you have gone all the way through the process of installing TWRP with root and it appears any knox removed and rooted rom. To do the first half follow the instructions exactly on the TWRP thread but when you get to the end you will not boot into system. You will factory reset and then begin following the instructions for installing the rom of choice without leaving ever TWRP. Then factory reset again after installing the rom before booting into system. You should be good to go at that point. A number have now been into TWRP afterwords but none have installed another rom. We'll see what happens with that when there is another rom to install. We suspect there is a step or two you can skip there but no one is sure yet which one so I would do it all until things get fully sorted out.

Just got OEM Unlock toggle appeared today after 7 days, and flashed in accordance to Dr. ketan's instruction on first page. Conclusively It works as everything runs smoothly as desired now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Wait, Have you rebooted it? DON'T REBOOT it. Do you able to see OEM option in dev option or it's disappeared again?

have you read about ROM specific instructions in post #2?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Denim Guy:
Yes after everything seemed successful & checked OEM Unlock toggle still appears then i rebooted it to recovery to flash latest magisk version 14.2. And checked again the OEM unlock toggle still appear fine then i rebooted normally, the OEM Unlock toggle is still there finally.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
- It could be kernel as well

- Dark theme one i like is included in ROM Tool

- yes you need to send request code to get pro

When new ROM based on different base, always recommended to install clean

look this post below, I have quoted a post having workaround

Looks good. Let's wait for more reports.

Hey [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] ,

the Dark Theme looks pretty nice, here it is that way the Theme is working for some time then popping out,

options "test version" or "buy" ... by pressing "buy" an error occurs like "you can't buy it yet" paired with some weird numbers and signs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Actually there is no Pay version and it is made by samsung only. Open ROM tool - Long press on Install black theme - When you see 'Patch applied' - Reboot device and see
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 27C64:
hey [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

i did that just 10 min after i tested your ROM,

i did and tried that again, with uninstall and again with

the ROM tool ... same result ...

buuuut ... interesting is ...

now, just after you wrote that, i tried again just for fun ...

and now all themes i downloaded for free, which just had the button "use", it is "anwenden" in german so i do not know the exact term in english, swaped to delete/buy/test ... that is strange, because of them are free.

i like

Material Dark (Android 7+) / Cameron Bunch

PixelizeD / Cameron Bunch

both free ... both dark . not black . second one little colored
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Actually when you long press Install black theme it hack the samsung theme to remove buy/test option (There is no paid version of samsung). This actually happens when you install a modified version of theme. I need to make this because of two reasons

- Theme is no more available for our device

- I don't like green color of app and quick panel icons,and I have replaced with white.

So need to modify samsung's application to force install ROM and when samsung theme store see modification, it makes theme as test purpose and add Test/Buy tag. Long pressing Black theme just remove this but again it won't make any other paid theme free. If it have made official free theme to paid then simply uninstall and reinstall those official free themes again to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] 27C64:
hey [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

so far thanks for comunication,

i tried some ways again,

just to give you feedback,

btw i am happy with those mentioned themes,

but, anyhow ... that modification will not be done.

pressing once ... it is getting installed

pressing long ... obviously something happens but no change for the eye, still test/buy ...

at that point i can't figure out if there is a difference betwen

'press theme button' or 'long pressing theme button' in both cases the letters turn shortly blue and the machine start working, excuse, and for sure i do not want to step to near by ... may in this case a dummie option, for people like me, could be handy, two buttons, two steps ...

anyways ... thank you, great ROM

it is a level that remembers me at OMEGA!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Both have different actions

Single pressing - will 1.install black theme 2.Patch Test version issue -

Needs a reboot before applying theme

Double pressing will only repeat step 2 and in routine it doesn't required bcoz(and that's why i have not mentioned, it was just in case only to fix error).

Needs a reboot before applying theme
