ChangeLog O6

- Based on latest April security patch N950FXXS3CRD8

- 3Minit battery is now preinstalled (you will get option to choose just after finishing setup, also you can change anytime from ROM Tool)

- 3minit clock preinstalled (you will get option to choose just after finishing setup, also you can change anytime from ROM Tool)

- Double tap SB to sleep (with Toggle in ROM Control)

- Enabled option for launcher rotation

- Reboot to Recovery option added to PowerMenu (if not available then make sure ROM Tool given supersu permission and apply essential fix from ROM Tool)

- Show/Hide Emergency in PowerMenu (ROM Control - Framework UI)

- Show/Hide Users in PowerMenu for Multi users (ROM Control - Framework UI)

- By default Ad-Free is Off still ROM Tool have option to On/Off with single click

- Some samsung apps updated

- ROM Tool improved for applying essential fix/busybox and some other changes.

- ROM control added option to add/remove Emergency and Users toggle in Power Menu

- Fixed force close on settings-Display-Navigation bar when choosing custom color (use ROM Tool to change Navigation color)

- Fixed possible error with magisk 16.4 Still may other third party application can cause issue with magisk 16.4. I recommend to stay ROM default magisk 16.3 + disable magisk hide.

- Removed PowerMenu app.

Pro users update Tweaks Pro to 2.1 for O6

Installation guide :

This will remain similar as said on first page. Still oreo have issue with data mount in some twrp so you need to install latest Oreo supported TWRP

Download This TWRP by tkkg1994 for Oreo which is ready to flash using Odin

Recommended to update BL and Modem to at least version

OEM issue devices

ROM is prefixed for OEM issue and OEM unlock option should available immediately after rebooting device after installing ROM, still there is option available in ROM aroma and recommended to select that too if sometime missed to prefix on ROM this will assure you double safety.

Add On and Bug Fix

- Copy/Paste error - You need to flash latest oreo bootloader and modem

with Odin

- Occssional freeze or Reboot - Mostly happens with SuperSu and mostly fixed, though if you find any, recommended to change to magisk

- Magisk losing root. - It has nothing to do with ROM but following setting will prevent losing root with magisk

1.Magisk settings - disable magisk hide (use when needed only)

2.Disable update and in update Chanel select custom and manually write - http://

3.Lock magisk manager in recent. Open magisk - click menu (navbar) - click 3dot - lock apps - click on lock symbol of magisk manager

Check ROM Tool - Update and Fix if any available

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

Do you know a way to cross compile C++ to Arm architecture i.e compiling an audioserver

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No idea sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ferbee:
Damn algoods, thanks for the rom btw :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] indup:
i have a question regarding flashing the rom. it says on the first page: "2.Reboot to recovery and select factory reset and flash ROM zip". this is my first samsung since the s3. on my recent phones when flashing a rom i would wipe everything: dalvik/art cache,system,data,internal storage,cache;also format data;and factory reset all for optimal install. would there be any problems doing the same on the note8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Wiping Internal storage is must only when you flash TWRP, once you are already on TWRP and already you are able to use Int storage then no need to wiping it. Regarding cache/dalvik/system etc get formated automatically when you flash ROM Regarding data you need to device you want to flash dirty (No wipe at all - NOT RECOMMENDED) OR wiping no media data - Idle if you are on TWRP already OR Full format including Int storage) There is no problem doing wiping full but it's unnecessary if you are already on TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] indup:
thanks for your response. i dont want to appear rude but i didnt quite understand everything you said. are you saying i can wipe/format/reset everything as i normally do without causing any problems but it isnt necessary to do so?

also regarding xposed , i tried a few modules but they wouldnt work properly or at all. is xposed a bit hit or miss ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I have not used S3 but I believe things are different on newer samsung devices. Here after flashing TWRP you can't access data partition unless make full format device (Including Int storage) but If you already did it and now you are using TWRP then that step is not required but simple factory reset (which doesn't wipe media files on Internal storage) is enough. But if you wish, there is no issue wiping full as you said.

Also to note that some TWRP unable to mount data (Read changelog post for link to TWRP that have no such issue)

Xposed - Personally don't use it but there are many modules which are not compatible to oreo, whatever experiment you make, just make a backup prior to xposed for hassle-free recovery if something went wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] atonal:
That's phantastic Doc will try this also then. I am still on 04 .Your update frequency is too high for me :) But that's good... keep rockin' Doc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
LOL sorry for that!

Actually when there is complete new OS out, we may need to fix bugs /update features/make some stuff compatible with new base frequently and that's why there was frequent update. Fist 3 to 4 was just critical fix only and since last two version its base update + feature update otherwise stable completely.

I also don't believe too frequent update as it's a big pain. But seems now everything sorted out and future update will be in normal manner. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] goksemozkan:
Please N9500 TGY rom

Dr. Ketan please N9500 build of TGY variant N9500ZHU2CRD5
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I have already made a test build but it doesn't boot. Since last few days busy with real life. I may look into it in a day or two. It's really pan to make rom for a device which you don't own and specially totally different hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] crows:
Has anyone had issues that the USB configuration is stuck on "charge this phone" even if i select MTP transfer it flips back to charge this phone so i can transfer files to and from without booting into recovery? This is the third time its happening....Doc does removing bloat affect this?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maaaatteo:
N8 to O6

i'm currently on N8 rom version, bootloader XXU1AQI1 and modem XXU1AQHB

before upgrading to O5 (clean install of course) should i upgrade BL and MODEM as well?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lightdelegate:
hi doc and thanks for your great work :)

Its always feel good to get new Rom

I have installed and for the first look all work perfect :)

I'll report if I find any issue.

thanks again !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] atonal:
Hi Man,just kiddin, it's absolutely ok, at the beginning of each new firmware it's allways a bit busy, about new things included etc.

No,if i had a problem,of course I had changed the Rom,but for me it was absolutely stable,viper working, all good, and no new features inside,so no reason for me to change. But now,with new TW Launcher, my flash fever is back, and I will give a try.....

Greets and thx for all your fantastic work,Doc. I know,how much time this needs....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Flame Red:
Thank you very much Doctor for all your hard work. O6 seems flawless.

I know it is NOT recommended or supported but I dirty flashed O6 over O5 and everything is perfect, at least for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Debloating can do any weird issue, simple thing is re-inject and see if that fix. No one else have issue so likely your issue will be with that only.

May O6 work but can cause some issue (like copy-paste error some fc etc reported on oreo with nougat BL), so strongly recommend to update your BL modem to oreo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maaaatteo:
thanks.

as i should also flash the TWRP with data-mount fix, is this the correct order?

1) flash TWRP with fix (through TWRP)

2) flash BL and MODEM (through ODIN)

3) flash new rom
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] atonal:
By the way, a few days ago,i tested some audio DAWs (Music Sequencer programs for recording, like Samsung Soundcamp and Audio Evolution) with your Rom. Including Audio Interfaces via Usb like IK Multimedia IRig, or Native Instruments Audio Komplete 6, and all are working flawless, also with the SAP Drivers (Samsung Audio Professional).

No Problems there, on the NI Audio Komplete 6, there are all 8 Audio Input Channels working. Great....

Most Rom Cookers debloat this audio drivers,but i need this......
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bud Horn:
Hi mate.

I'm into great audio as well ... Do you use any other audio mods? I use Ainur Sauron, V4A and JamesDSP. The only reason for me to root my phone is to be able to use these and refine the sound, but I'd like to try those together with the Samsung files you just mentioned. I'm new to Samsung (been using HTC for quite some years) - where can I get the files, mate?

\Bud
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Erick.criminal:
Hi, BL and MODEM are included in O6?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No and never it will be.

You can get from the first page and flash using Odin
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ekitiboy:
I love the dark theme, but I have issues with the texts of commands on the toolbar of certain apps with white background not showing as shown in the attached screenshot of Textra. This is because the texts are also white.

Can these colors be changed?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
From where you enabled auto record option? Is it third party app?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MistahBungle:
Using your auto call record app available via tweaks/my apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Dbj.Dhaval:
Anyone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
May be something wrong. For Note8 there is no my Auto call record app available. May be you are using a app for different device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MistahBungle:
My bad. I didn't realise that app hasn't been updated for 3 yrs, so that explains it not working. Have found another solution. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kdatale:
Dr. Ketan, I was having a Pro key for Tweaks Pro on Note 5. Can I use the same key for Note 8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No.as per mentioned on Tweaks Pro info page, it is available per device. You need to get new for each device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NeOniq:
Dear Doc and all the good people,

i lost Magisk 14.3 root after 5 hours since i flased and booted N3 ROM.

OEM unlock is hidden in dev otpions, so i'm waiting this week until option appear.

The question maybe not fully ROM related, but we all know about Note8 bootloader protection:

My goal is to save this ROM and bring Magisk root back.

What is my next steps when OEM option appear? Just reboot or i must reflash Magisk 14.3b?

Current satate of Magisk: installed Magisk Manager 5.4(57) and it shows that no magisk installed, proposes me to install magisk 14.0 zip. I dod not doing anithing for now, until OEM not appeared.

Please, help me to prepeare and not loose this wonderful ROM. I "waited in jail" 2 times already before succesfully intalled my firt custom - Dr.Ketan ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
This is known issue with magisk and believed to be fix on 14.3 but still some users reportedly facing this. I have switched to supersu since N3 and no issue. You can try if magisk hide is not required till issue fixed.

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

I tried modifying the cscfeatures file to include toggle for VoLte and its not working , any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

also [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] just wanted to report back, csc for t-mo forces a really strange APN as default and you can't set another APN at default. apn name is PLDT , APN is "WHOLESALE"

Can't delete it, i created apn for t-mobile and chose to save, selected it, rebooted, and the t-mobile apn was no longer the default one .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
What is your original csc? If rom doesn't have your csc then need to flash separately. Read first page for details of included csc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] masri1987:
Original CSC = SKC

Active CSC = XAA\TMB

I did flash the file separately which is when i noticed that weird APN
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
SKC I think not included. Have you confirm on first page? If so then remind me in morning (after 12 hrs). I will provide separately.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] masri1987:
SKC is my stock CSC i flash via odin when i do a full clean wipe, so that stays, but the active CSC changes to xaa\tmb.

Which first page are you referring to sir?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Yes it may not work with odin, same reported by others as well. First page means first page of this thread, whew info available about which csc available in rom and some as flashable zip. If yours not available then I will provide separately.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] masri1987:
okay let's start over, your zip has nothing to do with Odin, i was telling you that i am odin flashing back to 100% stock that means active and original CSC is SKC since i have a SM-N950N

Then i flash rom ( lets say iron man beta rom) then i flash your zip.

Your zip causes the phone to have a default wacky APN and doesn't allow any other APN to be the default, i have tested this twice this morning (i am using the proper zip for my carrier\ region "TMB") doing full clean flashes every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kamikaze_Ice:
Looks like that WHOLESALE apn is from \system\omc\XAA\customer.xml. It's defenetly not in the TMB one.

Changing the first <Editable>no</Editable> right above it to yes should make that.... editable. lol.

Also the system\omc\XAA\etc\enforceskippingpackages.txt has a few apps you might want to remove from that list for T-Mobile stuff (ex: TmoVVM.apk).

I don't know what that list is for, but I edit it to keep Microsoft apps after changing CSCs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Extract file home_csc_*.tar.md5 with unzip from your stock rom (which you are flashing with odin and working fine) and send to me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] masri1987:
I'll have to mess with this later , i'm a bit tired of flashing a ton of stuff trying to figure out our signal issues this week .

here u go https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApYsYY_1xt6cgcwA4LLbMmS8MkwJmw
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
May be you are on old version? O6 doesn't have this issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Erick.criminal:
Hi, how active Call Recorder?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Flame Red:
Depends on carrier, but what I did is made a NAINROID backup and a file backup copy of /system/omc/<carrier>/cscfeature.xml and add this:

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

near the bottom of the file, just above these two lines:

</FeatureSet>

</SamsungMobileFeature>

And reboot. Enjoy!

But remember, if you mess up this file you phone might not be able to make calls.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] semantsen:
Yesterday I flashed O6. No hiccups as expected...

Improved Powermenu is great addition..

Double tap SB to sleep is working very good. ..

New Viper is working well ..

Black theme is working..

I do not use Touchwiz (Samsung Experience home: correct me if I am wrong) Launcher, 3 minute, User mods hence cant tell..

No way one can find a fault in rom..

A pleasant experience..

Make sure you have granted su permission to rom tool

After that select desired battery and clock

You will have extra option in power menu

Also look roj Tool - rom control - for other options

I dont have any issues with Magisk 16.4 and root apps. But be aware that i use different apps than other users or some old apps may have problems....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] loizos250:
do i have to flash oreo bootloader and kerner before i flash rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ssnurzel:
Yes, it is recommended to flash the Oreo BL and modem. An older bootloader may cause issues like not functioning clipboard or crashing camera apps. But be aware of the fact that you cant return to a Nougat BL when you flashed the Oreo BL. Risc of bricking the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] loizos250:

Battery life seems impressive on O6 with stock kernel.

Nearly 3.5 hrs screenshot on with just less than 50% battery drain

10hrs 40 min on battery and except screen on all the time Aod was on

Also all the time connected to 4g and using VoLte
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] atonal:
Hi mate,

This one i use, are for audio recording, by using an usb interface to keep down audio latency at recording....

And the SAP is allready incöuded in the high class Samsung Phones till S5. This makes Recording with minimum of latency without an interface possible. But if you are interested to listening good qualitiy music from Phone, than try usb audio player from same developer like Audio Evolution. It's an Audio Player that makes listening Music over the Usb Port possible.

By the way

[MENTION=386689]doctor[/MENTION] ketan : since Android 6 usb Audio Play should be standard on Samsung phones, but Note 8 don't play sound over other apps like play music or samsung music, a usb device is connected.

On DeX it works, but not, if an interface is connected.

Viper also have the Option usb/dock. Is there anywhere in the settings an option to set it up to send music to usb port?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kyrillos:
Guys, upgraded to O6, great job as always. Can't identify though the power menu that we had in previous version to reboot directly to recovery etc. Nor such option available by pressing the power bottom (in case it was moved there). Am i missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No idea. I love to hear music (classic songs) but really hardly getting time. Most of of ear phones remains unopened :(

You guys not reading changelog or what? I try to write every possible queries there. Apply one of battery from rom tool /apply essential fix. That brings reboot to recovery option, aslo check rom control framework ui preferences.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kyrillos:
Thank Dr. I actually read it when initially posted, but now didn't think it has something to do with the changelog. My bad.
