Hello guys, I need to have a note 8 rooted to flash this rom with dr ketan's guide? I have an unrooted note 8 with stock rom.

Thank's for the rom and for answer

No, you don't need root, but what you do need, is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, like TWRP. The ROM comes pre-rooted already.

You already asked this and it's already been answered, also. You've been on this site for 8 years and over 1,600 posts. You should know how things work on here, by now.

NO, this will NOT work on the Galaxy S8+. You are on the wrong subforum. This is the Galaxy Note 8 forum. These ROMs are designed and made for the Note 8, not for the S8/S8+.

Hi Ketan,

Nice to hear that you are looking for a tester who can test on SM-N9500. I have flashed many firmwares and custom roms as well for my SM-N9500 and i have root and TWRP also. But i am not able to get VOLTE. i tried many roms and tried working with IMS settings as well. but no luck. i am able to enable VOLTE but calls not working. even after enabling VOLTE i am getting only LTE option in the notification bar.

Please help!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Sorry guys for late. Today morning downloaded latest bas3 RJ6 (Nov patch) and prepare O16 as well but couldn't get time to flash it.

It's 2am already and tired, so will test it tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abhklk4:
That's what I was wondering where is our Rom with new base[emoji4]

Hope google widget error will be fixed. If possible can you try to add latest p apps(except dialer as its having bug) by default .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Pie apps, No

Sorry but I don't prefer mixing up. If you tell me how to reproduce Google error then I may look into it, may be no one else have reported it.

Just update the latest google app and try to add 4×1widget of Google. Its gives the error or message I posted in screen shot.Google glance as well dosen't work,on clicking it shows only calander or weather.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
4x1 is added default. Are you using custom/modified launcher? If so try on built-in stock and see if works or not
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abhklk4:
I have tried on default launcher and on NOVA as well and have issue on both . Old google app ie one with your ROM O15 is showing properly and if I update it starts showing as per picture attached.I have tried different versions of Google apps but any update post your default app is having same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Didn't get you exactly

In your ss above I can't see 4x1 widget you are referring to. I assume 4x1 is search widget right? That I can use without issue with or without update Google
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Here is mine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] abhklk4:
Mine is 4×4 widget of google.

4x1 is google search and its working fine.

Can you check if latest 4x4 widget is working
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Ok got it now, you said 4x1 that caused confusion. Yeah it have issue but seems nothing with rom but it's by Google. This 4x4 option not available at all on my Note9. Some how it appears on N8 but corrupted. May be replaced with at a glance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ucevik:
4x4 option does not appear on my Note 8 either.

Hello I installed the Dr. Ketan 016P Rom (thanks Dr Ketan) with Dr. Ketan Tweaks N8 Pro 2.6.1. But now the program Dr. Ketan Tweaks N8 Pro makes me go out that there are updates, control and there are not. ... How can I disable the update search?

Will check

You can disable from Tweaks - ROM features

Got the same issue as well as busy box installing everytime I launch. Cleared data, uninstalled and reinstalled. Also noticed that Magic is losing details of apps given permission under SuperSU, so this maybe part of the cause. Hope it helps.

Decryption support

Hi Dr.Ketan,

very nice rom. I love it and also donated for the Tweak Pro app.

Actually I will update me Note8 to the newest version o16 and wondering why the encryption will not work anymore. I can encrypt the partition with your unrooted rom but the decryption will not work. It always loops between the pin request and the samsung logo while booting. No keyboard appears to insert the needed pin. Sometimes there are error messages.

Maybe it have something to do with your changes for the o15 version. Can you confirme this and/or give me a hint how I can bring this back to work?

I also can provide you more details, if you need it.

[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] The first time ever I didn't root my phone immediately, the Secure Folder got in the way (I don't care about the Knox). Tried a few Play Store alternatives but nothing that I tried comes even close to the top notch functionality of the Secure Folder. Since finding out that rooting deprives us of the secure folder I had been waiting here on your thread, I felt if anyone could manage it then it would be you and you had already accomplished it on the Note 5 too. I'd flash your ROM the moment you offered a solution but reading Ur response here is truly gutting. There are far too many reasons to root but I can't quite bring myself to give up the benefits of having a truly secure (far too may alarming cases about users losing their media or their app security easily bypassed) and really well built Secure Folder. Would you have any suggestions, maybe I somehow missed the obvious, anything (apps, rooted or otherwise) that offers the same functions of the secure folder?

And would you say there is a remote possibility that down the road you may well find a way out, a few weeks or months even.

Awaiting your advice.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gundal:
This link you provided here seems to be an empty folder?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No man, I took it positively only and criticism always welcome. Just wanted to say that if ROM having these seious bugs then there might be multiple reports there on board but you can see no where else have reported. That's why I suggest you to try clean install and keep avoiding flashing anything else so you can better judge it.

Lol you won't believe but I have had same experience and you know what was causing it? celling light was causative, don't know if recognize as eyeball ha ha, but that was long time ago (don't remember even on Note7 or Note8) and never using iris scanner now.

I have tried multiple time and still in free time making RnD but probably it's hard coded with kernel, Also samsung have history not to provide exact same source code for public and that reason may kernel developer facing difficulty. But this is what i guess, yet never look into building kernel so just assumption

Yes, sorry it was accidentally deleted, Uploading again and will be available once done.

Bootloader and Modem

I got some PM regarding providing of latest bootloader and modem.

So my stand on BL and modem is - I am not going to make BL and Modem selection available in aroma. If anything most dangerous to flash is nothing but bootloader. Any mess in flashing BL can brick device. My suggestion to flash BL is only with Odin and always use a bootloader file that comes with md5 extension. Also I recommend to flash BL files from your official firmware, now a days most firmware I have seen are made with multiple files so this time I have not provided these file as odin flashable too.

To get your bootloader and modem, simply download a stock firmware (you can get it from sammobile/Updato etc) according your device official version.

1.Rt click on zip you have download

2.Select 7zip - open archieve

3.You will see multiple file, select a file that start with BL_N950F***.tar.md5 and drag and drop to your PC, this is your bootloader file. Now similarly drag and drop a file which start with CP_N950F***.tar.md5 - this one is your modem file.

4.Now open Odin - Select Bootloader file for 'BL' tab and Modem file with 'CP' tab of odin (see screenshot below)

5.Now connect device to PC with Download mode and select to 'Start'

Done!

Does anyone have flashed N6 on OEM issue devices? I believe it should stick OEM unlock toggle if flashed with OEM Patch option in aroma with new patch in N6.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] moderndaycowboy:
thanks for your kindness, happily I flashed pure N6 yesterday, the rom has definitely no bugs. I have to say 2 things about it,

- Dual speaker mod is not working due to enforcing kernel, permissive kernel must can selectable in aroma.

- When I allow storage permission of any app, that app immidieatly closes, this caused by due to allowed storage permission 1 time. and then everything went back to normal, it is not a bug but it annoys sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
1.Dual speaker mode doesn't need permissive kernel but Viper needs it. But I have given option in rom tool which allows Viper on enforcing kernel too.

2.This is same in Stock too probably. But permission still sticks, just need to reopen app
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] moderndaycowboy:
1-dual speaker sound mod is installed but everytime I restart the phone, magisk says, the module works after restart.

2-no, in stock, you dont need to reopen app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Eagle 3:
Dr. Ketan, I have the same problem as lightdelegate. After flashing and rebooting, I get the message com.sec.epdg has stopped. I try closing it, but it repeats. Had a hard time getting it to reboot to TWRP. Anyway, I restored TWRP N5 backup and it's fine. lightdelegate said that installing epdg_data_clear.zip didn't work, so I'm not going to try that. I don't want to do a full wipe since it takes me days to get everything back to where I want it. So, I'm going to stay with N5.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
May be incompatibility, upload dual speaker zip (it will be there in MagiskManager folder of your Int storage

I am not using magisk

Regarding second issue, I will check in next version

2. I am missing the Brevent app that I got on the rom on my note 5. U teach me how to kill the Facebook process with it. Any other solution?

3. Tried to block notifications from irritating apps. It use to be easy just by pressing the notification and choose block. Now it's impossible and only possible from the settings (see attached photos)

2.Tweaks pro - rom control - there you will find link to brevent, it's same but advanced version

3.Tweaks pro - toggles - power control notification - first enable and then disable

PS : I will provide tool to disable power control notifications separately tomorrow if any xda version users need it.

There is no difference between 15 and 16 technically. Just base is different.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] halloweltkk:
I mean from version 14 to 15. You wrote in the change log that you disabled encryption in the kernel option. I donˋt know if this affects the storage encryption. If not, how can I find out what causes the problem!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Oh, that mean I have removed option for encrypt kernel in aroma. If you need one then I may provide separately.

Can you check this?

Download :

and flash from TWRP and report if issue is fixed, Newer Magisk have some conflict with apps.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] halloweltkk:
Thanks for your answer. I donˋt know if this is the problem, but I can try it if you provide me such kernel.

Do you know how I can find out what causes the problem? I can't connect to adb at this point to look inside the logs via logcat. Can I access the logs in recovery after reboot?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I am confused. Are you not on 16P already? actually I have doubt, magist bundled with 16P itself causing error so I asked to test another magisk from ROM tool

This is XDA thread, for license query, inbox me or reply to e-mail, you have received for activation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] OzBoy1:
Sorry didn't meant to confuse you. Let me start from the beginning so you have a clear picture, however by the looks of things I am probably the only one encountering this problem.

Installed 16P, stock kernal and Magisk that came with it. What I found is that everytime I opened Dr Ketan Pro app is would reinstall busybox. Also everytime I rebooted Magisk lost details of apps I had given root access too, not sure if this was due to reboot or busybox. At the same time I would also get a notification from the Rom Control App that the rom had an update even though I was on 16P the latest version. This was also reported by another user. You then posted a message saying that the notification was fixed. For me it was. You then advised to download and install fix for Magisk from the Rom Control App "Update and bug fix" to assist with fixing the Magisk issue I was facing. I did that, flashed and nothing changed. Before flashing again I used Magisk uninstaller, then installed the fix.

Reboot now and Magisk works as it should. Thank you, I hope the above helps explain the situation I faced and how you fixed it and maybe it can help someone else, that would be great. :highfive:
