[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mudnightoil:
AFAIK removing Google Play Services (via Aroma) isn't an option. It's just the actual apps. Certainly it isn't an option in the screengrabs in that ROM or others.

Also, I assume like many other ROMs with G-apps baked in, OTAs complicate this, and they may never really be gone.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Norup58:
Doubt very much you will find a Rom which fulfills your needs precisely.

An alternative is to use Titanium Backup or Package Disabler to get 'rid' of all Google things.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mudnightoil:
I remember there being a few in the Nexus 4 and 5 days, and some old Samsungs.

Haven't kept track of it recently, as have used stock CM / LOS in later years, so found it unnecessary.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mudnightoil:
Bump
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] this.guy.lol:
To the OP I'd be happy to take stock from a backup and remove all Google apps entirely and upload it for all. Do you want it rooted or would you prefer to do so yourself? It would be. ROM and not odin specific. I too hate Google and have everything removed except Gmail play store and modded YouTube. Battary life is pretty amazing too.

Donations are always,welcomed for my work I do. Not needed but does aid me for my daily endeavours.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
No need to bump since you won't find anything, the formula for aosp is a Snapdragon cpu and an unlocked bootloader. You bought the wrong phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mudnightoil:
For the Nth time, if you're going to bother to reply, then at least read what I have written and explained in a number of posts.

Nowhere have I asked for AOSP. It'll come when it comes, but I need a fix in the mean time.

I am asking for a modified stock ROM with Google removed by default. Something that has existed in the past, and which it's incredible if it does not exist among the hundreds of modified stock ROMs for the S8 variants.

Also, Snapdragon certainly isn't a prerequisite for AOSP. Samsung released all the sources a while ago. Huawei (Kirin & slow to release any / all sources and unreleased drivers) have AOSP.

I think the main impediment is that the S8/S8+/Note8 have been very expensive. But given that an S8 can now be bought for the same or less than a 64GB OP 5T in Europe, and has obviously better hardware, I suspect there will be a great deal more development effort incoming. Per my original post, my S8+ cost €524 from one of the largest e-tailers in Germany. A 5T costs €499.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mudnightoil:
That's very kind. The only problem I foresee, as mentioned earlier, is that removing Google from a ROM which doesn't have a maintained Google-free version means that every significant OTA update is likely to 're-infect' the system.

I think the most likely chance of success is a minor fork of ICE / BatMan / Renovate (i.e. one of the most popular modified stock ROMs) with a default Google-free version. This way, it may well attract enough interest that even if you stop, someone else will maintain it. They're so popular that there might be enough interest to maintain it even after LOS15.1 and derivatives are working and stable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
Ah you're right, my bad.

For exynos?

Now why didn't you do your research before buying this phone? Did you just assume you'd find a google free touchwiz rom? It doesn't take long to skim through the dev section and see every rom is basically stock with little tweaks here and there. Its not like you bought the phone on day 1, its been out for 8 months or so.

So like i said before, you bought the wrong phone, give it back and get that op5t if you don't want google on your phone. Flash aosp and voila, no google unless you flash gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] this.guy.lol:
itll be 7 months before we see aosp on s8 and s8 plus. as for the other thing, i have a base im working on atm. when an update comes along ill make one from it. in the meantime, the build i use is super fast and compared to the others you mentioned like ice and batman, its way better for snappy and so on. if interested let me know. itll take me around 6 hours to get it going and another 3 to upload if im lucky. donations on this would be highly highly appreciated but not needed
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mudnightoil:
I think it'll be much sooner than that. Price matters. It'll fall even further once the S9 is out. But anyway ....

What's the base? Will it have Aroma?

It would probably be a good idea to make a thread with details, and then you can gauge interest and thereby likelihood of donations.

Once I actually have the phone (it's in DE and I'm currently in NL) and get round to installing it, I'd of course contribute, provided it is indeed suitable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] this.guy.lol:
Base will be 7.0/7.1.1 as its the most stable as far as speed is concerned. Aroma will be an option yes. I'm still learning how to make threads in here. Would love to have a place holder of sorts. Ill look into more later on. Be looking for my other account on here to post the ROM. The name is LVL7MODZ

so yesterday I edited build.prop file and changed (ro.config.tima) to 0 .

after edit S health work good but secure folder still give knox error.

in my s7 edge i flashed superstuck kernel and solve the problem!

Anyone have superstuck kernel for c9 pro (c9000) ?

sorry for my bad english /
[Samsung C9 Pro  Questions & Answers] ahmetk711:
yes i want the same idea. please any builder built kernel i am ready for donate
[Samsung C9 Pro  Questions & Answers] travis82:
find me the patches and i will see if they work in our kernel. Also they use an older version of secure folder to make it work.
[Samsung C9 Pro  Questions & Answers] ahmetk711:
If you let us know when you're done, we are rewarded. It does not matter if it's an older version, just try it. Thanks
[Samsung C9 Pro  Questions & Answers] g900h:
I guess superstuck kernel give fake information about knox to applications.

Also you can use superstuck kernel to know how it work or ask developer of this kernel about this kernel

This kernel source:

https://github.com/GrifoDev/SuperKernel/tree/TW70-stock

Unfortunately I have no much information about kernel

Thank you
[Samsung C9 Pro  Questions & Answers] travis82:
Those patches are in ramdisk and do not work on our Qualcomm last time I checked. It was working on exynos tho. Find me on Telegram and I will make you a kernel with that shell script they use to reset props and you can help me figure it out.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] soul_train:
Well I did it once, I had a silver housing and it was damaged so I got paint spray and disassembled BA and colored it. It was good for 2 days and then paint started to fall apart. After 4 or 5 days paint was completely gone leaving some marks on housing.

It is waist of time, better get on ebay.com order yourself housing for 30$ or so.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mll2:
Hi everyone,

I rooted my A3 2016 SM-A310F on Android 7 Nougat by follwing these instructions (basically it's with the CF-Auto-Root way). But I got this lag when I unlock the lockscreen. Looks like I should have used Magisk instead.

So, in order to install Magisk, I need to unroot my A3 first. I guess I could reflash some stock ROM (as explained here), but I'd much rather use a lighter way so that I woudln't have to wipe my data / downloaded apps / parameters. Is that possible ? How ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mll2:
Well, I found the solution myself and I'm posting it for whoever has the same question in the future :

got to the device page on firmware.mobi

download the boot image in .tar format

reboot the A3 in download mode (boot while pressing volume down + home + start)

flash the boot image you downloaded

reboot

You're done, and no data got lost.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Enstriel:
Hi,

I was thinking, is it possible to write a command/script for a PPC phone, that would send a command via BT/IR to a reciever connected to the PC to power it up? I think that this could be done on the phone side (I have a Elf Ench.), but the problem lies in the hardware of the PC. My mobo supports wake-on functions:

- on RTC

- on external modems

- on PCI & PCIe deviced

- on PS2/USB keyboard

That first and last one will be probably useless, but what about the rest? I know that some people did it with IR, by connecting IR module to a pin on the MOBO, but IR has a limited range, and you have to point directly to the diode, but BT on the other hand is inactive when the PCs power is off...

What do you think, is it possible?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Thyraz:
I have wakeup over USB working here.

Not with my PPC, but with my universal IR Remote.

I use the receiver from the Media Center Remote from Microsoft.

If your board can handle it, the power function of the MCE Remote

can wake up the PC.

It was no problem to learn the IR command to my universal remote.

So it should be no problem to get it working with novii remote or similar ppc programs (if your ppc has a IR-port, or better Consumer IR for more reach).

The MCE remote isn't that expensive, should be under 30$.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Enstriel:
Now I have a wake-on-keyboard (SPACE) setup in BIOS, and my mobo is quite new (ASUS P5K) so I think it can handle it. But I just realized, that my Elf doesn't have an IR port, so my only option is BT ... The main problem is, does BT stay active after power off? If not, than there is nothing that we can do ...

And one more thing, I wouldn't want to bootup a IR/BT program to send a command, that just takes too long, is there a way to write some sort of a shortcut to send a BT command w/o launching a additional application?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lastnikita:
I think your only way is to send a magic packet over to your network card, assuming it supports wake on lan

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zoltrix:
Hi All

I can't seem to get Edge Lighting notification to work consistently.

Everything seemed fine the first few days when i had Always On Display enabled, however with it off, it seems to have a mind of its own.

I have Edge Lighting set to "Always", every single notification enabled, transparency is 0, width is the highest and color is set to "App Color"

With those settings, the popups would appear only sometimes.

I then figured out that the individual apps themselves need to have "pop-up" notifications enabled.

Now with that enabled in a handful of apps, i get notifications for those - however, there are a lot more apps that don't support it! Google Hangouts for example!

And on top of that, Whatspp seems to be the only application that actually keeps an icon on my screen until i grab the phone. all the other icons disappear once the lighting stops.

Any thoughts as to what i'm missing?

or is this just how edge lighting works?

Cant comprehend how it works perfectly fine for some apps, and not at all for others.

Glad to know its not just me!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] theforevermachine:
If you are on Oreo, you can use Notification Channels to "force" the app's specific notifications to "Urgent" which will "Make sound and pop-up on screen." Unfortunately, in order for it to work with screen-off, the app has to have built in the ability to "wake screen," which is why apps like samsung messages, textra, whatsapp, snapchat all have the ability to work with the screen off. you can use a 3rd party app like Glimpse Notifications to force app notifications to wake the screen, but when you receive a EL Pill notification, it will be with Glimpse's icon, and no message details.

Also apps like facebook messenger, which have custom notification API's (because of chat heads and special things that facebook enables in this app) will NOT play nicely with EL Notifications. I have tried everything to get it to play nice with this app, but it also does NOT target Oreo for notification channels, so I cannot force it. I can force it with "Autonotification" app from Tasker, but it's not enough to trigger it.

Hope this information helps a little bit for ya. What really needs to happen, is Samsung needs to program EL Notifications in the system level, rather than as an app that runs (Edge Screen apk) so that it can monitor notifications on a system-level rather than Piggy-backing off of Android's notification system. That way, no matter what the notification is within the app, it will display in Pill-form when the screen is off and on. In order to get to more information, or reply in-line, then you bring down the notification shade and voila.

But, I've reported this to Samsung numerous times, and have never received a reply from them. Here's to hoping that maybe it gets a revamp/improvement when the S9 comes out.
