[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jk84krk:
Yeah, I've tried searching the Firmware forums and actually some people have the same problem with non-stock ROMs. I am just wondering if there is anybody found a ROM that works for them, and there is no echo.

And it has nothing to do with the case... I use only a metal bumper, and there is a hole for the noise reduction mic in it. Either way, even if I remove the case, the echo issue is still there...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donvito62:
Serach for QuickSortcutMaker app on play store.

Istall and open.

Up Change from Icremental search to Normal search.

Type in the search field (Phone).

Click on the one that has com.android.phone.

Go down to the ine that has (callSoundPrefrence) At the end and click it.

Click on try.

Another window will open uncheck noise reduction.

Some say that was the fix.if you want you can try

My regards
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jk84krk:
Tried that... I've managed to turn off noise reduction on Magma NX (in LineageOS I didn't find CallSoundPreference) and I was soooo happy, because after having called a couple of people it turned out that the echo is gone. Then after 1 day the echo came back, so I checked if the noise reduction turned itself back on, but it was off. I don't seem to have luck with custom roms, so I re-flashed the original Samsung firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paleozord:
I've been experiencing the same thing lately with my Note 3 (hltetmo), so it would seem little has changed in the nine months or so since this post in terms of custom roms. Every single one of them has the other-side-echo issue that makes them unusable, and going back to stock always fixes it right away. I don't have any type of case on my phone, so there's no external cause of the bug. If anyone ever discovers a rom that's free of this problem, please update this thread so we can all benefit. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Every rom i have used has not had echo problem pn TW based roms .

If it was such a problem every rom thread would have thousands of echo problem post .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paleozord:
Touchwiz roms are based on stock though, and you're correct that stock-based roms work fine without the echo problem. Custom non-stock roms like LineageOS, RR, AOKP and all of their derivatives however, do in fact all have the same echo issue.

I was hoping to find a completely google-less ROM that works acceptably on my Note 3, and that means stock/TW type ones are out of the question. If you or anyone knows of such a rom, I'm all ears.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Nope i only use TW based roms dont like the non TW roms .
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] vistar:
Hi guys, i was wondering if there is a known problem with lokiwiz and wm6.1??? i try lokiwiz 03a and get the unlock code successfully, i insert another sim and it asks for unlock code i insert the code given, and then it proceeds to enter service provider code, i then enter the same code given by lokiwiz 03a, it seems like its worked as it passes and goes to today screen, it then searches for service, it then does a "flight mode" sort of thing and it states phone is turned off, then the sim lock comes back up asking for the 2 network and service codes, and if i enter the codes again, it does the same thing??? i've tried multiple times and it gives the same code, i've tried transfering the .cabs manually in lokiwiz03a, and running them, then rebooting and it does the same, i've also tried with various network provider sim cards with no luck... please i cant stand orange, and its a used contract phone, and dont think i can ring them up and they give me free unlock code??? any help guys or girls(If any)???

Oh and i have M600, G4, Latest Radio, with Hard SPL... cheers
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] l3v5y:
Try using WM5 with lokiwiz to see if thats the problem.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] vistar:
You were spot on, i should of realised this. i tried this earlier as a last resort, and it worked, it gave me the same code and i tried it, first time working.... happy non-orange user...lol :):) cheers l3v5y

Hey, can someone refer me to some resources to study about bootloader exploiting and unlocking? I didn't manage to find one so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] batuzai04123:
XDA requires the source.

Can you share it?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Sorry, what do you mean with "source" precisely?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheMadScientist:
Stock based roms do not require source code.... All looks good here
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] torhect:
I just flashed your rom and what can I say.. Awesome rom so far so good! Im gonna test a lit bit more to see but is very stable ive been using for 4 hours and is very fluid and I dont like samsung apps so dont bother me at all. but there is only one thing I want you to know, since you debloat your rom, and delete com.samsung.faceservice and another apk called face, the setting app takes like 3 to 4 seconds to open up, and that is because those apk are missing. Im telling you that because Im a fan of debloating and I tried one time to delete those apps and happpend that. so if you could just please to fix that lag of setting Ill appreciate that :) nice rom!! keep it up!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] batuzai04123:
You are right, I noticed it too.

"Settings" app launched at about 2-3 seconds slower on me.

"Lock screen and security" window takes 3-4 seconds to load up.

Not of a big deal, but it would be better if Settings could be launched quicker.

Magisk's Safenet check fails also. Im not sure why. I clean flash this rom and everything is stock.

Also, the width covers the whole edge of the screen, making Timer, Notifications "broken" on every corner of the screen.

---------- Post added at 06:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

Sim Card manager is force closing.

Love this debloated rom, but i think you could check on the issues we previously posted, including this sim card manager force closing. thank you.

rm -rf system/app/SimSettingMgr

You removed this system app , I think you've removed some essential system apps that's causing performance drop

and force close issues.

MTP Via usb cable doesn't work, Windows can't detect the phone via cable, even adb isn't working.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pvillasuso:
Looks good , thanks @ foobar66 !

Gonna wait ( for the coming "fixes" regarding the last comments ) to try it

This is what I was looking for , a really minimal samsung ROM

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] torhect:
Maybe the devolper should consider those tips in a next update also when i.want to reboot it take some time to reboot... Dont know why
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] miguelang611:
Have u deleted Samsung Task Manager and all those which are there by default? I mean Samsung SPCM, which u can also see on Priv-app folder on most ROMs.

Thanks and regards
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Hi all, thanks for the feedback. I am currently uploading v1 to AndroidFilehost. As soon as the upload is completed, I will update the OP with the link.

v1 (2018-01-06):

- fix lag starting up settings

- fix lag in settings for lockscreen/security

- included SimSettingsMgr

- included MTP

Personally I do not use MTP. I always upload files to my phone using ADB. So someone should test this.

ADB does work for me (on Linux), obviously you have to enable USB debugging in developer's settings (and on Linux you need proper UDEV configuration for ADB).

Also, note that I only have a Linux box. I do not use Windows. So I cannot test anything on Windows.

Please also set resolution of display to WQHD.

OP is updated. Safetynet check bug is still there. I have no idea right now why this fails.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Yes, this is not in the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
v1 uploaded; see OP for description.

Thank you very much for sharing this rom. I have one question, apart of security updates, will it be possible to make this rom once oreo final rom is released?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Yes, I will try when the final Oreo comes out (probably middle/end of January).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pvillasuso:

Adblocking:

If you would like to have adblocking do the following:

> adb shell

# su

# hl

The "hl" command will replace the hosts file with a huge (> 200000) hosts which refer to IP address 0.0.0.0; this will make ads go away in your browser and applications.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Andrunya1978:
Dear foobar66. I am waiting for such kind of firmware very long time... But it is a pity this firmware doesn't match for s8+..

Could You help with launching this rom on S8+ for FD version.

And second thing. Could You add screen mirroring to your firmware. We have modern device and mirroring on modern TV is very useful thing:)

TYVM
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
I don't have an S8+ so I can't test anything.

I can explain how to do a build (if you're familiar with linux).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Andrunya1978:
I haven't linux. Please do it. I can test.

And what about screen mirroring?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Which app is that ("fit to screen")? I don't recall seeing something like that in the original Samsung firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Also weird ... I can select a sound from /sdcard (.flac file - but that does not matter) and play it as alarm from the Google clock ... that works for me fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Thanks for the encouragement ... it's hard to understand the bugs if I don't have them or cannot reproduce them ... I have started from a clean device as well so I wonder what the difference is caused by. Difficult also for me to debug if I don't see your logcats.

I could do with some help from an experienced dev ... if there is any volunteer ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Just occurred to me that there is a file which contains all the sounds/alarms; that might not be accurate in V3 ... might be the reason why you don't see the other sounds ... I will check tonight ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Correction ... my camera also has a problem ... with HDR ON ...

With HDR OFF it works fine ... with HDR AUTO or HDR ON it also gives the server error! That's good ... at least I will be able to try and debug this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jostian:
here are some logcat screen grabs, maybe there is something that helps for faceunlock I started the logcat and immediately tried to unlock phone with face recognition.

Oh, I uninstalled the camera and replaced it with camera from BatMan ROM and camera is fine now, weird...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
I don't see any big issue on those logcats ... but that does not necessarily mean something.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
OK, started work on a new V4 release ...

Camera problem I already figures out what is wrong.

Next is to try and solve the selection of the notification / alarm sounds.

Be patient ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ImbaWind:
He means /system/app/SmartFittingService?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Thanks ... had not paid much attention to this. Will integrate into next release so we can see what it gives.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jostian:
ok my camera stopped working again... weird, ok will wait for V4
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
v4 (2018-01-31):

- fix crash in cameraserver

- integrated Google clock (alarm tone can be selected from Google clock)

- left a bit more notifications and ringtones

- integrated SmartFittingService (but it does not seem to do much if you ask me)

- integrated old (but very good) calculator (goes way back from Cyanogen)

- integrated Iris Scanner (please test as I do not use this myself)

- Arabic language support

Uploading file now. This will take ~45 min or so ...

Please check |OP| for the download link: minirom_v4.zip

I guess it's worth having the Google clock as standard ... who doesn't need a clock / alarms.

The calculator is old but really good (swipe left and right to get calculator screens); it has a scientific calculator, can draw functions, hex/binary, matrix.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jostian:
awesome, can I just dirty flash this over V3? pity faceunlock not working its more convenient that iris scanner... hehe. no problem. I added the secirisscanner/ apk but didnt work, the 'thing' that launches the eye face sensor is the problem I think, cos everytime I tried to delete face data I got the 'An error has occurred with the face sensor....' which I think will be the same with the iris scanner, maybe not? not sure?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Yes, dirty flash is OK ... the V4 only contains additions on top of V3.

I just tested iris ... and it seems to work for me; also face recognition works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jostian:
that is AWESOME so clearly it wasn't just a case of adding the seciris... apk, I'm no developer so thats also probably why :) thanks a bunch!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
No, I had accidently removed openvx in V3 of the ROM (scripting mistake).

This is required for all camera related vision operations so it affected not only camera but also iris and face recognition.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jostian:
Is v4 up yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Sorry... I just realized that I have shut down my pc while it was still uploading...

Really stupid.

So unfortunately will have to wait until tomorrow evening.

As far as I can see all is working, awesome!! a spectacular ROM!! light and very battery efficient! thanks again :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jostian:
One small issue, the max battery saving mode doesnt work, just wanted to let you know, using this ROM as my daily driver and it really is great, so snappy, smooth and great battery. Not sure how you manage to reduce a ROMs size from 3 odd gig to 1 gig and everything just work, definitely my favourite! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ImbaWind:
Confirmed it doesnt make any difference to the statusbar. I think this is the software to make the youtube video fit to our screen back then (need to press a little button), and now the youtube seemed to support this by default using a zoom gesture.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

I think this is due to the max battery saving mode use parts of Emergency mode that has been removed?

EDIT: You need this 3 files for the max battery saving mode to work

##EMERGENCY MODE

("/system/app/EmergencyLauncher"); #Emergency Launcher

("/system/app/EmergencyModeService"); #Emergency Mode Service

("/system/app/EmergencyProvider"); #Emergency Provider
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jostian:
You are right, the icons in the top left and right corners still sometimes have their edges cut off, so not sure whats needed for statusbar icons to fit properly?? strange other issue is that even though I have the 3 apk's for themes to work installed I have problems with a theme sticking, after reboot stock theme back??

EDIT: Themes issue fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Samsung themes requires:

/system/priv-app/SamsungAccount_Dream

/system/priv-app/SamsungThemes_v4

/system/priv-app/ThemeCenter

But IMHO you don't really need this ... use Substratum and Sungstratum ... this allows you to theme many other apps as well and it can theme the Samsung Settings (which is really the only app from Samsung which is left besides the Camera).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
I will remove SmartFittingService from the next release as it does indeed not make any difference.

I reckon the statusbar is more because of either:

- build.prop settings

- system/csc/features.xml

- system/etc/floating_feature.xml

I will check by going back to the original Samsung files for these and see if there is a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
aha ... 1 step closer ... it is the system/etc/floating_feature.xml ...

Now I just have to figure our which one.

But I have proper icons on the screen now ...

Have some patience please ... I will find it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
OK, I found the problem with the statusbar.

Will be fixed in V5.

If you want to fix yourself, edit the file:

/system/etc/floating_feature.xml

Find the line:

<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_SYSTEMUI_CONFIG_STATUSBAR_SIDE_PADDING>0</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_SYSTEMUI_CONFIG_STATUSBAR_SIDE_PADDING>

and change to:

<SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_SYSTEMUI_CONFIG_STATUSBAR_SIDE_PADDING>16</SEC_FLOATING_FEATURE_SYSTEMUI_CONFIG_STATUSBAR_SIDE_PADDING>

If you try, please let me know if this fixes your problem (for me it looks OK now).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
v5 (2018-02-02):

- fix icons in statusbar not being displayed properly

- removed SmartFittingService (no use)

- replaced calculator with Google calculator

- updated keyboard to latest SwiftKey version

- updated Google dialer to latest version

- integrated Google calendar in ROM

- updated Play store to latest version

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BigCon:
I had the issue with the SD card too.

I can confirm that the solution below works (ie flash a custom kernel and then flash supersu).

Super ROM otherwise. Great work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
v6 (2018-02-03):

- latest Samsung S8 kernel (Jan 6)

- remove Samsung inCallUI (/system/priv-app/SamsungInCallUI)

- adapted the padding in the statusbar

- ROM installation now creates /data/system/users/0/settings_secure.xml to use Google dialer InCallUI as default (not a very nice solution but I do not see a better one)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=239365

Very important: you can NOT dirty flash v6. It will destroy your settings !

Wipe cache, data, dalvik before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jostian:
I'm using Notorious kernel 216 and had no sd card issue, just flashed ROM, then flashed NK 216 (chose the magisk option) and no problem. I replaced the contacts, message and phone with Samsungs versions as it keeps the theme with the other samsung stuff in ROM, but the choice is yours :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Use substratum to do theming ... then you do not need Samsung apps. See |OP|.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Haha ... with removal of SamsungInCallUI the ROM is now 995 MB !

So stripped down to 30% of the original.
