[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
Quick update: Note8 most likely won't get Oreo beta anymore. So we will have to wait till January/February to get Oreo.

In the meantime I've tried porting Oreo couple of times. New betas etc. But none of them booted. After somehow "porting" the kernel from S8 it still doesn't boot. I managed to reach bootanimation but then it just bootloops. And it wouldn't be that bad but.. logcat just doesn't want to work. So I can't even check what's breaking the boot.

It's December already so I guess we can just wait another 2 months yay.. It's pretty sad to use Nougat which came out almost 2 years ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
It was NEVER INTENDED the Note8 was included in the beta-program!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
Can You just LEAVE me alone?

Thank You.

Btw, Note 5 got beta, Note 7 was recalled so obviously no beta, so Note 8 should get beta as well. But it seems like You're deciding for Samsung which device should get beta and which one shouldn't.

Edit: Added You to ignore list so I won't be able to see Your messages anymore. Find someone else to be mean to :).

Also, at least I'm spending a lot of hours trying to port Oreo to our devices because there are 100s of people waiting for it, even my users are asking about it. And You're just saying "STOP WHINING!" "NOTE 8 WON'T GET OREO BETA!!" . It doesn't really help anyone. Instead of being mean You could help me and other devs with porting Oreo. We just need someone with reverse engineering skills and smali/assembler knowledge.

Oh and why not just wait for official release? 3 reasons.

1. It will take at least 2 more months to get official Oreo(Depends on region too).

2. Porting roms is a lot of fun and gives me a lot of new knowledge.

3. I have cancer and other health problems and I can't wait. Tomorrow I might die or in 2 days or in a week or a month or a year. And my blood results are getting worse so if I can do something about Oreo then I will.

Some of us REALLY can't wait :(.

I was just forwarding leaks from various sources. Some leaks eventually turn out to be true and some don't. What can we do.. they are just rumours. But still. Saying that someone is whining about Oreo is kinda mean. I think there are better word replacements for "whining" . Maybe for You this word isn't like very bad or something, but everyone hears words differently. One person might find this word offensive and another person treats it just like a word.

But anyway. Let's forget about the whole beta thing. I realised that N8 won't get beta quite early when only S8 got beta, but I've heard some stuff from some "decent" leakers that beta is coming early December so I just kept on forwarding it to XDA.

(I had my hopes too lol)

I started this thread a while ago and now the title should be changed to porting progress or general Oreo discussion/ wish list etc. Cause Beta isn't happening.

I'll "unblock" You but hey.. let's be nice.. to each other. I understand that beta isn't coming out. Let's just wait till Official release comes out.

Not a beta though sadly this is a leaked test build. I wouldn't recommend flashing it at all.

At least we know an Official Oreo build is coming soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dazemc:
It's not a test build
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
Internal test build from their fota version.test server. It shouldn't be used on normal devices as it might contain tools that can modify bootloader partition etc. Usually these builds also have security against some apps. But as long as people will use it like a normal rom then they should be kinda safe.

Dear,

As we know the Z line has inserted an annoying need for screen shifting to almost everything. In the school line Z2 put an option called "ignore security lock" which allows you not to have to unlock the screen to use the voice functions. This lock in line Z appears even if you have Smart lock, registered all types of release: Trusted Places, devices trusted ... that is: a hell. Do you know any way to end this need for constant unlocking ??? I thank you!

I bought a X821 and on the back of my phone is x821 printed, but after installing Lineageos the model in "About Phone" is LEX829. Now I'm wondering if my phone really is X821. Since the X829 doesn't support band 20. I want to know sure that I can use band 20.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] NMir01:
X821
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jman0:
If you bought it as an Indian LeEco Le Max 2, it's an x821. The model number is written on a system file, which gets overwritten by every ROM you flash. In fact, if you flash a stock ROM intended for the Chinese version (x820, which is 100% the same as x821, except for the included apps and the data encryption) your model number changes to x820. Just don't worry, you have the correct model.

just came out today,? is will their be a mod to put note 8 120hz or im i going to hear the magic words ...no its hardware thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nuclearrage:
Um ... why , 2k screen at a 120hz would take some power. Plus with small size really wouldn't be worth it. High fps really only matters in shooters on pc. On a phone there are too many weak links to make it good for games that would call for 120hz..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Hz (refresh) is not the same as fps (framerate)...

And higher refresh rate actually makes everything smoother, including simple animations, etc. For example, I have a three monitor setup (2 x 60hz, 1 x 144hz), and you can easily see the difference just by moving the mouse cursor. Much smoother and easier on the eyes.

Razer includes a 4000mah battery...if Samsung bumps up the Note's battery capacity again in the future (and/or introduces further OS optimization for increased efficiency) then it could mitigate any additional draw in power. Personally, I think a Note 9 or 10 with faster refresh would be sweet :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Deezy88:
thanks for the tech lesson, i know wha hz is,but can its be done though?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Deezy88:
hz works in movies to with smooth transitions
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
...I was replying to the other post (that I quoted).

Yes it can be done, the Razer just did it. Not likely on the Note 8 though, but can't really say for sure. I do know that the refresh rates of some monitors can be overclocked, but it only works up to a certain point (much like ram or processors). So even if it were possible to increase refresh on the Note 8, I don't think it would be anywhere the Razer's 120hz. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Deezy88:
i dont think the note even running 60 fully,its could be cool if their 60hz mod like the qhd 60fps,i think the note 8 exynos can handle 60hz or 120hz,that software not hardware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Just found this article which explains a lot:

https://www.androidauthority.com/120hz-displays-the-future-or-just-a-gimmick-782717/

Sounds like the refresh rate on the Note 8 could theoretically be increased through software alone, but that it would likely introduce issues such as screen tearing, etc. In contrast, the Razer's panel (for example) has hardware technology to reduce or eliminate these types of artifacts. So I'd say yes it could techically be done on the Note 8 to some degree, but even then the results wouldn't be great. Better to have the hardware that makes it work right and delivers the desired/expected visual experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Xshooter726:
OLED is not able to do those high refresh rates yet.... Its hardware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Shuthefrontdoor:
Even if you got it to work it would absolutely kill the battery and if/any games even are optimized for 120 hz is another story.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nuclearrage:
You can see the difference if you have the video/game that uses it otherwise it's number theater . I would venture most folks couldn't tell between 60 and 144 unless it was in action. 24 to 60 yes, but beyond 60 is splitting hairs. Also on the small form factor of a phone, with the control latency of a phone not sure tour getting bang for buck . I am aware that Hz and fps are different ,just as I am aware that using different refresh rates in a triple monitor set up is just asking for problems as well. To me it's just the same as THX speakers on a phone or Dolby Atmos on a phone, yes they're there but it's more like a gimmick because of the small form factor. I am also biased towards pc gaming , and could not imagine playing any serious shooter on a phone, just like I couldn't do it on a console either(but at least consoles have the horsepower now).

My biggest fear is this catches on and Samsung ditches it's Amoled displays for LCD just to get the specs for the next phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
No as I said you can see the difference just moving a mouse (or watching movies, etc). Also, no issues at all in a triple monitor setup with different refresh rates, so long as you know what you're doing. Obviously if you try and play a game on 3 monitors at once with different rates then you're asking for trouble lol. Anyways, moot point now as OP's question has been answered.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Praks93:
Animation in android

Can the animations and UI in android currently even run at 120? Are they not rendered at or around 60fps?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nv1dia:
I wouldn't put too much credit in this article. They seem to be sort of talking out of their asses on this.

Adaptive display technologies reduce screen tearing yes, but their main benefit is the reduction of resources. Allow me to explain.

Your free to correct me if I'm wrong but this is my full understanding.

When a screen displays an image it has to get told to display an image. However, it's not quite as simple as the CPU saying, please display an image.

The screen will continue to display an image until it's told to Change to a new one (think of when your PC freezes. This is why the image can sometimes freeze. The display adapter has stopped sending new images to the monitor).

So what happens when your computer is creating a new image, 1000x a second? Well, it would tell the display to "display" 1000 images in a single second, even though it's only capable of let's say 60 (this is where 60hzcomes from) this creates the tearing effect. To combat this there are controls we can use, Such as vertical sync, where we can just Pull an image from that 1000 image pool when we want to display a new image. For example, your phone might tell android, since it is running at 60hz to just pull a new image from that pool once every second. We could also limit the software to only create a new image once every second as well to combat this. The problem with these is they require CPU cycles. And they have an impact on the memory, with the frame buffer holding that 1000 count image pool. Ideally went want the CPU to only worry about creating an image when we 'want' one. So that it can move on to the next process in it's Queue.

With adaptive display technology, we can 'sync' these two numbers without creating a significant performance impact, and because we have synced them the overall smooth transitions require less motion smoothing, or blur effects that alot of movies might use to help create that clean look (This magic is why movies at 24fps look fluid). When it comes to Android, 120hz vs 60hz would most definitely be noticeable, so long as UI transitions and the OS itself had animations that could display 120 different frames. Currently I think that it does not. Also, let's be honest, until the hardware starts supporting it, android won't support it. We are starting to see that support now, in the Razer phone and in some Sony phones.

I am unsure of the currently refresh limits of OLED. I do know however that OLEDs response time is faster than that of LCD. Response time doesn't directly effect refresh rate, That would be the job of the display controller, or whatever that strip is called haha. Response time is important though as it'll determine the quality of the images being displayed at higher refresh rates. Which would be the significant factor in whether you would want your display running at 120hz or simply 60hz

Also... Before anyone chimes in, with "you can't see more than 60 frames per second" your wrong. Don't bother. Sorry, but you've done zero research.

It's a shame the Blu Vivo 8L came with Blu's own ugly skin. I was hoping they would have released the phone with stock android like the Blu R1 HD was. Also, I've noticed the phone doesn't let you use a different launcher other then the one that came pre-installed with the phone (Launcher3). I tried installing Nova and it worked till I rebooted the phone. I also noticed a feature in the DEV menu I haven't seen before in a BLU phone (at the least the one's i've owed) OEM Unlocking. It should be fairly easy to unlock the bootloader but the problem is a TWRP recovery hasn't been made for the device yet. I'm trying to root the phone myself and with no luck so far.

Just a quick question. Can we extract the stock boot.img and patch it using Magisk to obtain root? Or do we need TWERP?
