You don't have rights to ask for E.T.A

I'm not forcing you to install this rom.Anyway,never mind I'm on low data,ans that's the cause of getting late.

Hope you got me well.

Guys,Is it working for others model? Like N950F/FD?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lukemo:
Sorry but you have to say!!! It's absurd to release a ROM without testing!

Sorry for being rude, I thank you for your job...but a ROM has to be tested for a long time before you can write "Working on ...."...especially with all the problems on Note 8 with oem unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Albe96:
Somebody may tested.As I uploaded to afh,a guy got to see it.And said that working on s8/n8.So I posted it here . . Well if you have telegram id.share please gonna give a fix!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] lukemo:
Dear Albe, N8 is different form S8...I would be glad to help, but I need the phone for my job, so I can't risk at this moment. But please don't give up, very interesting proposal.

I've been waiting on stock BTU for like 3 weeks now to get Oreo beta and Samsung just left Note8 users. But now Your rom is here and it looks amazing so far! :D Oreo apps, root(rootless life sucks..), deodex.. perfect rom :). Can't wait for the updated link!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] michel5891:
What CSCs are available with this rom? Does Metro PCS (USA) work? Also, does the CSC need to be flashed and selected individually or is it built into the rom?

I have a N950FD (DUAL SIM) and need Metro PCS CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Albe96:
Thanks Mate

Almost All CSCs.You Can Choose in Aroma.

But don't download now.Cuase you'll mess with it.Let me push v2 first
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] krabman:
Have you removed the Samsung versions of the oreo apps you put in? Thats going to be a lot of duplicates if you didn't... O_o
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Albe96:
Huh? I am not noob . . :p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] krabman:
No such implication was made but because that very thing is and has been done, in some cases right here in this very section, the question (unfortunately) needs to be asked. More so for those of us with FD's which are on OEM unlock timers because every flash is a risk making simply installing and finding out for ourselves untenable. You'll be hearing more about that as the thread goes on if you haven't already read up on it and it brings up my next question, have you hidden the OEM unlock switch?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Albe96:
I read all,I'll try to bring back.But it's useless. .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] faisaldante:
i have tried to install on note 8 getting just boot screen. so not working on note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] krabman:
My friend I'm doing a poor job of communicating today, I am sorry for that. I did not mean to say that you should work on the problem, I would never say this kind of thing to anyone. I was only asking if you remove the OEM unlock slider from the GUI. The behavior we have observed is that when the OEM unlock slider is hidden by Samsung it is also changed to an off state, it is not just hidden. Where this plays out is after someone has waited for the timer to count down and then installed a rom in some cases the developer hiding the option has also inadvertently changed the option state to off. This was the case with Renovate when it first dropped. They have fixed it there for some time now, I'm not sure if it was an inadvertent fix while changing something else or a directed effort. You can now safely install that rom even though the switch is hid.

So... I was only asking if you had removed the switch from the GUI, for those of us with FDs it's scary not being able to see that switch and ascertain our OEM unlock status. For the first guy installing this rom he will have no way to know if he is going to get a binaries error at the first reboot because it was hidden and has inadvertently been switched to an off status at the same time.

I'm hopeful I've been able to clarify that, you can and should do what you want, I'm just trying to figure out if installing this rom is going to be a butt-clenching experience that ends in me being stuck on stock firmware. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] michel5891:
This is quite interesting and really good info. I'm on N950FD and the option for OEM Unlock is in developer mode. From your post, I understand this to be a good thing, but it's there a reason why mine has it and others don't?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] krabman:
I don't think it belongs in this thread but the problem is one we have just recently learned all Note 8s are subject to and could apply to anyone installing a rom in specific circumstances so I'll try and succinctly cover the basics. For more details please refer to the OEM unlock thread in the Q&A section.

Depending on the region your Note came from it will either have an OEM unlock slider that is available out of the box after enabling developer or it will have the slider hidden. In the latter case the slider is going to be on a 7 day nominal timer and OEM unlock will appear after more or less that time. If a person with an OEM unlock slider that was hidden behind a timer installs TWRP/root after it shows up but not a rom that has been de-knoxed they will first glance think that everything has gone ok. However they will soon find that their OEM unlock switch is now hidden again and more than that, it has been switched to an off state. This means they will loop if they try and install flash and even a reboot from system and back to system will cause the phone to fail a boot check and it will loop unless it has no connectivity with the internet. Either way once you loop the only way out is to install stock firmware and wait another week.

It is something everyone should know about because a person has just reported that his UK F variant that had OEM unlock out of the box has just lost it when he reverted to a stock firmware from a custom rom. He is now waiting a week...

There is a lot more to it but this is off-topic and I only typed this much because it's something everyone should be aware of and it may tangentially affect someone that installs this rom making it fair comment. Sort of... Please refer to the OEM unlock thread if you wish to learn more.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Geekser:
I tried flashing this tonight and both times I got an error message saying "Invalid File Format" .

I tried downloading twice - each file failed. if there is something I can do to fix this - let me know - othewise, I will wait for the update and try again.

thanks for your efforts - I was looking forward to trying this...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] michel5891:
OP has admonished several times not to download and install until v2 is released.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ProtoDeVNan0:
It's because META-INF is zipped. You can extract it and You will be able to flash the rom.

Bugs that I found so far:

Updater-script fails with permissions but rom boots just fine.

Darklord changelog in aroma?

META-INF is zipped.

Phone app is missing.

A lot of random FCs during setup.

Rom is filled with bloat apps.

Other than that it's pretty cool. Oreo Apps are there etc but it's just unusable for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Geekser:
Thank you - what a great response to my question - more than I could have asked for - :) thank you very much, very helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] michel5891:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] imtjnotu:
my dumbass screwed up and purchased the verizon one by accident. and was wondering if anyone has heard or seen the bootloader unlocked anywhere. ive googled but keep getting pixel 1 threads
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Peylix:
Nope.

Return it for refund, then order a non VZW version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wtherrell:
Ah. The tragic tales continue. Return it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] imtjnotu:
ya looks like thats the plan. re ordering today. using my note 8 in the mean time i guess.....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lucky_strike33:
Guess no one is buying from verizon since they cut the price down by 50%.....lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wtherrell:
They could not give me me one free of charge (if I had to keep it for my DD.) If I can't unlock the bootloader, I don't want it. But that's just me and a bunch of other people. YMMV.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pieman13:
How did you like it in comparison to the note 8? I currently have the note (despite always being a nexus guy and a Samsung hater) and I love it. But still tempted by the pixel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I really don't think you have much to worry about then. ;) Personally, I'd take a dozen of them and give them out to everyone I know since no one I know even knows what a bootloader is, no less root.

I have a VZW Pixel locked bootloader and I have no regrets. I recently had to return the one I got for $240 over 2 years for a warranty replacement. They sent me another Verizon model but I could unlock it this time. Must have slipped thru the cracks. I did flip the switch but I won't unlock it until I no longer have it on a network at which point I'd play around with stuff and not worry about performance or soft bricks. I've found no real reason to unlock it while using it as my DD.

But as you say, that's just you and this is just me. Neither of us is right or wrong, it's just how we do things these days. I will not pay $650 just to have a device that I can bl unlock when I won't unlock it anyway. Under $300 and $360 for the 2 XL is a tremendous deal. Other than on XDA I doubt there are many who even care about bl at those prices. You won't get that from Google and maybe not even from Verizon this year. We'll see.

Not yet but hopefully soon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
My bet is there will never be a bootloader exploit for the VZW bootloader's. This time I went direct with Google.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] foopy:
I ordered a Pixel 2 XL from Verizon last night about 9:00pm and already have it in my hands and activated. I'm not one of those that has to have an unlockable bootloader either. I purchased from Verizon because it was 50% off by trading in my Verizon Moto Z Force. Lately I've switched camps from must have unlockable bootloader to don't want unlocked bootloader. I prefer to remain stock and take OTA's without issues. My past experiences have taught me that the stock software untampered with performs better and more reliably than any 3rd party ROM ever will. My only reason for unlocking to begin with was ad blocking and removing unwanted apps. You can block ads with "VPN Hosts" app on an unrooted phone and I don't feel the need to remove software any more. I just don't open what I don't use. I haven't tried to unlock the bootloader on this new phone but I suspect you cannot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
You just described me! I have both right now and honestly I think my pixel xl 2 is going back, never thought id be thinking like that
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pieman13:
I know, the note is an amazing device. I keep thinking I'm nuts by sticking with it but it's kinda flawless.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
I use the pixel as a toy and to play around with roms. Ill probably save a few hundred bucks and buy the 5t this week, and use the note for my dd
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pieman13:
That's what I use my op3t for. I just went into a Verizon store and played with the pixel, took a few indoor shots and compared them. I'm no longer looking for a pixel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
I've never owned a one plus, excited about the 5t. How are they?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pieman13:
Very hit or miss. The quality control is poor. If had each except the five. Two of my kids still using my old ones and they are holding up well but it's a total lottery. That's been my experience with every model they have released.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
I'm strongly considering ordering one from VZW because of the current promotion. I had resided to keeping my Pixel XL, but now that I know I can take an old spare phone and get 50% of a new pixel 2 XL, I'm very tempted. I have a Pixel XL with an unlocked bootloader, but it's been unrooted for at least the last 8 months and I haven't otherwise taken advantage of the unlocked bootloader so I don't think I'd miss it. I love the stock ROM, the seamless update process, and decreased vulnerability.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] foopy:
There is one thing about the Pixel 2 XL you need to be aware of. The screen colors are pale and not very vivid. As a result the display does not look as good as other phones. Do some research on that before you buy to make sure you can live with it. I'm ok with it but I'm sure others may not be.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] beezar:
With saturated color mode, it definitely is not too pale. Actually, that mode is too saturated to me, but some people like it that way
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] foopy:
LOL I just got the update a few minutes ago.that's the first thing I tested. Saturated mode does improve the colors, at least in my opinion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] T4hna:
How is everyone getting this update for the new color modes? I even opted into the beta program, and on 8.1 I still don't see the options.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lawlrus:
It's the November 8.0 update
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
Thanks for the heads up. I played with the 2 XL in the Verizon store the other day and was pretty pleased for the most part.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] outbackpaul:
Yeah, I like it the way it came. I really don't like that really bright color mode.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] imtjnotu:
I love the screen but hate the button placement. Finger prints is in the worst spot and often when trying to change or lower the volume I hit the stupid bixby button. speaker on the phone isn't bad at all but a few times a day I find myself accidentally covering the speaker when watching a movie.

Outside of that it's a split phone. Good camera. Great screens. And I actually like touch wiz for once
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] New Rising:
Just ordered a panda from Verizon and it'll be here tomorrow. I bought a used z force for $150 and am gonna trade it in for $450. I couldn't justify spending the extra money on ordering from google just to have the bootloader unlocked. Maybe there's still hope heh.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
I do remember with original Pixel even if it was a Verizon model, but user had another sim card in the phone, then updates didn't come from Verizon, but came from Google instead. Is it the same this time around?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redsrule2500:
I'm trying to make the top bar less crowded with crap (Volume, Battery, Connection, Phone icons take a lot of space away!)

I'm using wktask and it would look a lot nicer to have a somewhat full task bar!

Thanks (I already searched and couldn't find anything)
