Nice to see you on the Note8!

Waiting on mine to arrive.

Still using your ROM on my Note 5 .

I have a quick question: in the csc choices file you're providing, to you have AT&T as one of the choices?

TIA for your reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No it doesn't.

AT&T N8 is not snapdragon with locked BL?? or am i wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LouK:
Yup it is just thought it could be adapted....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Kamikaze_Ice:
It can be (along with other carriers like T-Mobile), since it's

not

the radio files that need to be changed (exynos radios can't use snapdragon radio files) and is not tied to any snapdragon chipsets in any way.

See Kalm_Traveler's threads:

Exynos CSC swap - T-Mobile Wifi Calling and VoLTE adventure

[MOD] Exynos T-Mobile CSC Wifi Calling, VoLTE etc for N950F-based ROMs only.

The main problem is carriers being asshats and not wanting to enable features because you didn't get your phone from them.

So for carriers who pull this crap (every USA carrier lol) this will make the necessary tweaks on the phones side to match the carrier's implementation of said features. (read: Wi-Fi calling is done a little differently on some carriers than it is on others).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LouK:
Thanks for the heads up.

Fingers crossed that Kalm_Traveler comes up with a workable solution.

Hi Dr. Ketan

Nice to see you here. Used your Rom for my note 5 (Pro mode)

Will be keen to adopt this one also. Couple of feature requests pls -

1. Call record button on call screen in place of add call button

2. Dual speaker & volume increase mod

Thank you for all your hard work!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Both are already under consideration. Hopefully should be there soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] anshkhanna:
Thank you Sir!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] arubamon:
I was planning on going ahead and flashing this ROM in its current build, but it looks like there are at least a couple people who have experienced some major issues after flashing, including no longer being able to boot. I was just wondering if I should wait for the next build and if these issues are prevalent in most devices after flashing this ROM? Thanks

Missing Ur Mod "Full Screen Caller ID".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Actually reported by couple of users only and that same I have read over recovery thread too. Here one user have reported a CSC that is not included, other haven't reported so likely it's samsung mess and nothing can be fixed till we find trigger, couple of report from nearly 250 download is too small to say anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] arubamon:
[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION], thank you for the information and for your prompt reply. Attached is my sw info. Everything looks okay to you? Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
You CSC is same like mine and included in ROM BTW what is your country code CSC like mine INS for India (ROM includes OXM which included INS)

Also have your OEM unlock option available when you bought or appeared after 7 days? I believe who have appeared afte 7 days are prone to get issue while changing CSC
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] arubamon:
I live in the US but bought this N950F from the UK. The OEM unlock option was visible as soon as I enabled developer options the first day I had it. Thanks again

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

Just wondering.. have you found where csc_features are now set?

stuff like

<CscFeature_Setting_EditOption4ApnType>List<\CscFeature_Setting_EditOption4ApnType>

seems the location of where TW gets these has changed? Wanam CSC Features can no longer effectively change them, it can read them tho.. Did you find where they are located now?

Just getting around to trying your rom.

I added my CSC (which is RWC from SM-N950W) folder into /system/omc before I flashed and when I first booted but it still said I am now on a dual sim and it needs to wipe user data to change that.

So I force rebooted to recovery, flashed a RWC zip file I made to put back my csc, and next boot it didn't complain or try to wipe me.

I am on SM-N950N
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
CSC features are now encrypted/codded inside OMC/your csc/

I am trying some workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] arubamon:
[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION], just curious on what caused McAfee to throw this flag, as this has never happened w/ any other rom. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
This is very common to get false alarm with different antivirus. You won't believe but my anti virus recognize at least two apps as threat which are extracted right from samsung stock images.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] arubamon:
I knew there wasn't any problem, I'd just never seen it w/ any other rom before. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
If you want to test then this way I suggest.

Flash TWRP - Full factory reset(This is part of TWRP installation though)

Flash N7 without any patch (DON'T SELECT OEM PATCH in aroma)

Once device boot, check for OEM toggle. If it is there, your device have immunity and nothing to worry. If you Don't have OEM Toggle, don't reboot till it appear. This way at least you have custom ROM with root on your device and haven't to wait 7 days to flash it, though there will a restriction to reboot.

And safest way always is

Flash N6 + OEM Patch option in aroma, there will be OEM Toggle immediately after boot and have not to worry more.

PS : Both version are features wise almost same, except base are different.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ernani:
I'd like to report I'm a happy user of N7 ROM, and my OEM Toggle remains intact. Considering that I found out about this OEM Unlock problem *after* I had purchased my Note8, you can understand how nightmarish this week of reading and reading and keeping notes on how to tackle this issue has been, while I was waiting for my phone to arrive...

Doc, thanks for all your help. I've already donated via paypal for the pro version. Keep me posted ;)

Hi i have two little problems Upday is not in Bixby and the weather widget has a dark box around the border Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Upday is there in ROM but may or may not show in Bixby depending on CSC. Some region have Briefing instead of Upday

For weather, better you post screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rizcom:
The weather widget is not transparent like stock it has a black box behind it Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
As I said, post screenshot. I don't see anything like black box.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ricky0526:
About reboot.....

Hi, sorry to bother you, I've been using your ROM for a long time and have to say that it's amazing. From S7 edge to Note8

I have a little problem about Flash ROM; is it right after I flash your ROM, I can not reboot, or else I have to wait another seven days to unlock the OEM?

Because the last time I accidentally rebooted, I stuck the first screen, said only flash the original firmware

If reboot, it means to re-flash the original firmware, so you will fall into a seven-day horror cycle

P.S, I have flash your patch

My English is poor, Thank you for reading and your answer

My model is N950FD
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Read first page of this thread carefully.

Let's know still you have any doubt. You need to flash specific version only.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] alberto8523:
Hello everyone.

Is this rom compatible with all S-Pen functions?

For example: when I extract the S-Pen, "Air Command" appears on the screen.

Is this rom also compatible with "Always on memo" function?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] joluke:
Been running N7 since the first day so here is a short review:

- No random reboots

- No FC's

- No hickups

- No issues of any kind!

Dr Ketan Pro app is awesome and lets you configurate everything in the phone!

Running 100% stable and not a single problem from the first day!

totally recommend this rom for Note 8

everything you have on stock roms you have here!

Plain and simple
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] piggarello:
Good Rom my friend...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Motawa88:
can I reboot my phone with ketan n6? or will it softbrick again after reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PyromaniacGhoul:
First check OEM unlock option in Developer settings, if it's on and working as intended you can safely reboot.

Hi everyone ! Can someone tell me if Netflix will work with this Rom?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
There is separate tool available. Once you install ROM, you can see ROM Tool - Update & Fix - Netflix fix

Thank you very much Doc! For now I'm aware to root my device . It's the first time that I didn't root my device . I'm searching to find a reason to convince my self that I have to root [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

Στάλθηκε από το SM-N950F μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ntinosterpsis:
I cant understand this part of the guide.

Some ROM specific instructions

1. On first boot, ROM Tool will ask to grant supersu, grant it. (If it doesn't then you must check if you have lost root), After around 3-4 min of granting permission, it will check for required busybox module, If it is missing then, you will see a dialogue message for it. Message give you two options 1.Skip OR 2.Install

- Normally option 2 is recommended. When you select to 'Install', It will install busybox and you will require to reboot.

- If you have OEM unlock option appeared after 7 days and wanted not to reboot device for 7 days after Install then you can select 'Skip' option and continue using ROM

2.If you have OEM unlock option appeared after 7 days , Please select 'Patch OEM' option in aroma. After that OEM unlock won't force hide.(Remain available depending on real status). After Installing ROM, check status of OEM unlock in developer's option. If it is available then Turn OEM unlock Enabled. If this option not available, don't reboot device untill you get it back. It may takes up to 7 days or more to reappear. Also if you have device with OEM option issue, you shouldn't flash any CSC as it may cause OEM unlock to disappear, instead you should ask on thread if you have any network related issue because of different CSC.

When i complete the flash of the Rom i have chances to receive a notification that will say something about OEM unlock.Right? When this message appear what i have to do?

If anyone can explain me what will happen and what i have to do i will apreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No

You won't receive any notification regarding oem but you will get notification if rom doesn't have busybox (though chances are very less, as busybox get installed with rom). Now, if your device is oem affected and if you receive such notification, don't select 'install' option if developer option doesn't show oem unlock menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ntinosterpsis:
Mine have the option for OEM unlock.So i dont have problem to flash?Is it correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Yeah who have oem option out of box then they don't need to worry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ntinosterpsis:
Thanks Doc!!

One last question.

I have flash the rom and everything goes well.When the phone have boot a pop up message inform me that the sim card change.I make the factory settings reset and when it boot up again it shows me the same message.What can i do?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Adrian.K:
It's the second time this month that I'm getting a notification that there are updates available both for ROM and dr. Ketan Tweaks Pro but it doesn't look like it... anybody else getting the same?

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Yep I have that too. It's an autoconfig message and when I tried to block the notification it wasn't possible. It won't bother you again until you reboot and it looks like it has something to do with the csc. Anyway I can live with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ntinosterpsis:
I also can live with it but I'm afraid if something goes wrong and wipe my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Usually it happens when changing sim and related to csc

I have pushed Tweaks Pro update y'day. 1.5 is latest update I have released.

Sometimes poor network connection can cause fake notifications. You can turn off auto update by long pressing 'check for update' on main screen of Tweaks pro, still you can manually check from there.

Cannot encrypt device

Installed this ROM on my SM-950N, picked Spectrum kernel and Magisk, but now I cannot encrypt the device. It reboots and says encryption failed. How can encrypt my device, without encryption I cannot use it.

Thanks a lot!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
First time hear about this FX model. BTW from which country? can you provide more info of your about page?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] vihang40:
I bought it from singapore before coming to india and now i got no reception on any sim so i thought maybe a custom rom would fix it

Baseband version

N950FXXU2BQKG

KERNEL

4.4.13-12472670
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Oh

This is simple N950F only

Is IMEI is correct?

And yes the imei is there and when j clicked attach button it showed link so i had to do drive

I just connected my phone to smart switch and it shows 950f so thx my quarry is solved sry for the my foolishness ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
You haven't granted drive permission so can't see screenshot

Have you flashed any rom /rooted device?

Tried factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Dougfresh:
I believe these are store displays without radios/basebands. Wi-Fi only
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] plop12345:
Made some progress. I now have Magisk Root with an encrypted device on stock ROM. The key is to not use TWRP for rooting, then encryption is preserved. I now tried to flash your ROM using FlashFire, but it just rebooted and the stock ROM is still there. Any possibility to create a FlashFire compatible version of this ROM or any further hints you could think of?

Thanks a lot, really appreciate your time and dedication.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
After flashing rom

Flash stock recovery

Factory reset on stock recovery (be careful, this will erase Int SD data too)

Magisk flash with magisk manager

This what I can think
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] alanead07:
There is a problem with magisk. You have to reinstall every time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Post to magisk thread with proper log. Nothing to do with rom. Else use supersu
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] alanead07:
But with other ROM working without problems
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No idea then, but I don't have any issue on N7. Many users I have seen reported on different devices, different rom. Anyway I don't have any fix for this.

There is a problem with the brevent app.

Tried all kind of options including contact the developer.

Maybe it's something in the rom?

What exact issue is?

Failed to start server? Are you using Magisk/SuperSU?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lightdelegate:
Hi. It didn't load. Always show server fail to load.

Just solved it now with clear data for the app.

Can't believe I am a few days trying to solve this problem with the developer and he had no solution.

And sorry that I thought it was the rom.

Thanks [emoji120] [emoji120] [emoji120]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
No problem :)

But most issue is, If we missed call from SuperSU on boot. I have had happen and culprit was magisk have denied supersu permission because of unattended call. But once given permission everything goes fine.

Hello I have the Note 8 free with OEM unlocked, what kind of version should I install the N7 or N6?

Enviado desde mi SM-N950F mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JoeOIVOV:
First twrp, then wipe data and reboot back into twrp and install N6 with OEM Patch.

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

Unless your device doesn't lose OEM when you flash custom. Whose to say until you try it. N6 is safest bet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I didn't get your device have oem issue or not. But instructions are pretty clear

Device OEM issue should use N6

Device without OEM should use Latest (N7 currently)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cristhianbe:
my device has the normal OEM, I have no failures in that because I'm already changing two Roms and now I'm in Deluxe, then I could flash the v7 without problems?

Enviado desde mi SM-N950F mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Szynolski:
A strange situation. I waited 7 days and finally regained OEM options.

I installed N6 rom. After installation, the OEM option was still visible in the options.

One of the applications required a reboot.

Unfortunately, the phone has not already started.

I had to upload the stock rom again...

Samsung is starting to annoy me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Make sure you have flashed N6 with OEM patch and not N7

If I remember correctly no one have reported this issue on N6 unless you have dirty installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cristhianbe:
Can I install v7? I never had OEM problems, sorry for the inconvenience ed I want to try your Rom and I do not know whether to put the n6-n7 or if any has a fault

Enviado desde mi SM-N950F mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
I have already replied you man. If you never had OEM issue and option was available out of box, you need not to worry and can flash any version of ROM including N7.

To be safer side, DON'T SELECT Oem patch option in aroma while flashing ROM and before rebooting device, make sure OEM unlock option is there in dev option and it is ON
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cristhianbe:
flashee the rom and everything normal, to restart after it was turned on I get this message in the logo * only official realeased binaries are at lowed to be flashed * and now it does not turn on, did not find to recovery or anything, any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
That means your device is having oem issue. You need to flash stock rom with odin.

You can again flash custom rom after 7 days when oem Toggle appear, next time only flash N6 + oem patch option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] cristhianbe:
because I was afraid of this, I was asking around here which version I should flash, because since I do not speak English, it is difficult for me to understand too. Well now, wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] JoeOIVOV:
Once you return to stock I would do factory reset first to trigger a reset of the timer. There has been a few times I didn't factory reset an went on waiting 168-200 hours and it didn't show an many reports of that to read here.

Also when I received my phone originally it was missing an uptime was 2 weeks but factory reset brought it out for me after 7 days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Szynolski:
I'm sure I installed N6 with OEM patch.

Clean install.

That's why I was surprised.

After installing the ROM when the phone first time started (restart from recovery after installing the ROM) showed the message in red "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" - I know it from previous phones from Galaxy S2 up to S8 + but the first time I saw it in Note 8. I know what it means but after rebooting when the phone has already booted up the system, there was additional information next to the one that said that you should install the official software.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
This is Normal, google for more info.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Motawa88:
Can I reboot as often as I want with N6 and oem patch?

I am on N950FXXU2BQKG, should work with n6, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
That is almost users have reported (exceptionally one or may be couple more), they have flashed N6+OEM patch and there is no issue for reboot. But gain no one say 100% guaranteed, samsung can mess any way and it's beyond our control. You ca try on your risk and with mentally prepare to go to 7 days OEM Jail!

There shouldn't be issue flashing N6 on said base.
