This is my simple recommendation as per what I do follows

for XDA Users

1.Clean Install ROM. If you are already having TWRP then simple factory reset is fine. No need to wipe cache/delvic cache/system etc as ROM zip itself take care of this when it requires. Wiping Int Storage only require if you are installing TWRP over stock.

I recommend to skip all setup offering while set up but later you can add account from setting to finish it.

2.Once device boot, Check you have Magisk Manager installed. if not then Install it. Open manager and if it saying any components are not installed, simply reboot. Again check and everything should be fix

3.Wait for ROM Tool to pop up for Essential fix - Apply it.

4.Again Open ROM Tool and go though all the desired settings.

If you are not Tweaks Pro users, simply reboot here and you are good to go with own set up

For Tweaks Pro users

5. After step 4 you can install CSC Features - apply according

6.Install Tweaks Pro - Activate it - go through desired settings

Reboot (before this no need to reboot in between any above steps)

Your a champ!All went well until a few days in and after installing tweaks pro I enabled mild volume boost and since I have no speaker sound??you tube no sound,loudspeaker while on a call??No sound???rebooted ,disabled uninstalled app you name i did 3 days later still the same???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
Make sure you haven't installed any magisk module related to sound that causing clash. Simply restore stock from Tweaks - sound mode

Dear Dr. Ketan,

I've found the source of the issue: I have been using an app to shut off and lock the screen for a long time. It adds a widget to the screen, and shuts off and locks the screen with a tap on it. After pie update, if I use it to shut off the screen, the biometrics won't work to unlock. Instead, I have to use the pin or pattern. However, biometrics work if the screen is locked by the phone itself, or by your double tap to sleep feature in the rom tool (I have just explored it, though). Please excuse me for spending your time, and for causing in an unnecessary argument in the forum.

I was using an paid App earlier to lock Apps by an XDA Developer ( it no longer works in pie with fingerprint & is no longer in Google play ) & it had the option to lock Apps, as soon as one closed the app. So, i thought, we might have a similar feature here too .

Here is a link ( looks like the Developer has abandoned the app )-

You are on latest, sometimes network error cause this. You can turn off notifications from rom features

Included one is Samsung native and working only after screen off since I remember it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Max_Terrible:
I used to have the same problem when I used Oreo, as well. It's a security feature they introduced in Oreo. I used to use Nova Launcher to double tap homescreen to lock the device, which required device admin permission and whenever an app with that permission was used to lock the device, you had to unlock it again using the pin or pattern, to prevent the app from getting some sort of data or information. At least, that's what I vaguely remember reading about it. Since then I've never used a device admin service to lock my device again. I either just leave it to lock by itself, or I just press the power button. It's not all that much effort for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Zappapp:
Maybe, you can develop an App Lock for your ROM's which has more lock options. Just a suggestion, you would know better on this.

Also, having issues with battery life on your ROM, stock was giving better life. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
- No any such plan for applock

- Battery life - very subjective, none but only you can find whats going on on your device. Use some battery monitoring app and find out, no suggetion nor I can help on it. I have no any abnormal drain here.

I've noticed that too but i believe it needs a pretty stable internet connection in order to confirm the license it needs. Not entirely sure, just based on the pattern i seem to have experienced
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
License checking is once only. It may not open probably bcoz it doesn't get root access. Newer newer Magisk sometimes doesn't grant root access immediately after boot. That's likely cause. Same many times happens with titanium as well.

Magisk - settings - superuser notification - none will make better. Still i will check in next version.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Timtown:
The only way I know of to avoid using Pin/Pass/BAC is to use the "Smart Lock" feature. That gives you options to keep device unlocked in "trusted" places, when carrying device or, when attached to "trusted" device(s).

Perhaps give that a go?

I have already installed the P05 version, formatting all the data and not solved.

The phone is also getting very hot.

Can it be something from the kernel or will it be hardware?

Hi every one.

It's my first message in this thread and I want to share with you my issue hope you help me to resolve it :)

I have an N8 with a stock N950FXXU5CRHA.

I did all the steps from 1 to 15.

In the ROM Flasher I choose to flash the ROM, Do Not flash OMC, do not patch for OEM issue, Do not flash the Kernel , do the Root with magisk and to skip mod features but I haven't succeed to install the P05 ROM even if I choose only to flash the Rom without any think else. please see the attachment that appear after 2 or 3 min.

At the end the phone stick on the startup boot screen with the samsung note 8.

after a lot of reading and searching in XDA and other forums I noticed that the boot loop came from the TWRP and the phone encryption.

I re-flash my phone with the stock firmware, flash the TWRP by tkkg1994 for Oreo from the step 4 and tried also the last version 3.2.3-0-greatlte.img.tar result the TWRP was successfully flashed but the phone stick on the boot loop.

After that I flashed a with TWRP a zip called no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip so I have now TWRP installed with the stock rom.

so again I performed the steps from 10 to 15 but unfortunately I have the same result!! :crying::crying:

NB: with TWRP + no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip +magsk-v18.1.zip I was able to have a rooted stock firmware but no way to install any of your ROMs (P05 and also O17P.)

thank you for helping me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] peacey8:
Why are you choosing to not flash the kernel? You should flash it and see if it boots, and then if it does boot, you can flash some other kernel if you want. Also, are you doing a clean install by factory resetting first in TWRP? Dirty installs without wiping first might cause problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] devilosmania:
Hi yes I perform a clean install every time (steps from 11 to 13)

As you request it I just proceed now to the setup (the ROM a selected the ROM the kernel an the ROOT) same result:(

even if I select to save the installing logs I can't find it in the SD card and when I connect the N8 with my computer it showed me that the the internal memory is empty
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] dr.ketan:
