[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] toxic_garden:
i got one question about this rom, hope it wasn't already answered in the 33 pages before, which i honestly didn't read all.

I'm thinking of buying a S8 since they god pretty cheap now and i love the S8 screen and haptics. What kept me from buying it until now was the fact, that all the Samsung bloatware is ruining its performance (which would be solved by this rom) and also a general slowdown after a few months of usage. Since i don't know if this long-term slowdown is caused by the bloatware or in some way kernel based, it would be nice to know if some of you who have been using this rom for some time could give me their impressions.

But apart from that, having a Samsung device without the Samsung bullcrap on it is a really great step and i'd be eager to test it myself in the near future! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jostian:
Been running this ROM since it came out with no showing down at all, very slick, i use Notorious 216 kernel and am very happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
A small update ...

I have an OREO version running WITH an install procedure from TWRP.

The install itself is slow (4 to 5 minutes) because I am currently flashing the whole /system as one single ext4 block into the /system partition.

That is OK for a first release though ... I think I can make it faster later by unzipping into /system which requires setting all permissions on directories and files.

The OREO is FAST ... faster than nougat in my opinion.

I am now checking if all is working.

One thing which I know for sure is NOT WORKING now is the Google app which you download from the play store (the app for searching on Google). It can be installed but it crashes ... I need to verify if this also crashed on the original Samsung software.

If all goes well ... I might have a V0 tomorrow evening ... but no promise ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
I have always customized my Samsung devices S4, S6, S8 ... and I have never experienced any sort of long term performance degradation; but then I have always removed most of the Samsung stuff ... It's not the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] toxic_garden:
good to know, thx. I just rooted and TWRP'ed my S8, eagerly waiting for the v11 version to finish downloading. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Good news ... finally found why Google search was not working !

So I have now GoogleWiz Oreo ... now installing all my "usual" apps to check if they are all working.

And I need to go through the settings one by one to see if there are no problems there.

More tomorrow ... coming up girls and boys ... be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] IDan1109:
Any news? i rly excited to see your new rom! Ps. i can help if you have problems with debloating
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jostian:
and now with Samsung removing the initial Oreo update to 'fix issues' will you be waiting for that to first be released or will you use the Oreo base thats available?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Well ... everything is working ... except ... CALLING ...

I see the dialer calling but no tone to indicate that it's ringing and then after some time the dialer disconnects.

Drives me crazy.

I've tried the full Samsung firmware but same problem there.

I had not yet read that Samsung is removing the oreo update. Any link?

Maybe they are fixing the dialer ;)

So unfortunately ... will have to wait a bit more ...

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] anthonyclass:

with the file explorer, iris scanner and edge function, this rom would be perfect!

I'm waiting for updates, thanks for your work!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] batuzai04123:
This is awesome, thank you for the fixes :)

One more thing on our wishlist.

If you can have an aroma installer for all the system apps (samsung and google stock) so that anyone can choose which to include and discard.

I'll be now using this. Thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Andrunya1978:
Easy way for s8+:

1) Find lines in build.prop

for S8:

480

640

And change it for S8+:

420

560

2) Immediately after installing firmware in twrp to install kernel with supporting s8+. For example this one:

I have not asked anything.

I have only given

my opinion

, I'm not going to install the ROM because it would leave many services unusable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] this.guy.lol:
Many services unusable is the purpose of the ROM...if you want features go install KINGROM or some other ROM. I disable delete and uninstall 90% of pre-installed apps as,I don't use them at all. If you need iris and finger scanner and other apps similar king will work wonders :) hope my thoughts helped.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blackblock92:
For you who already have it.. How it is in terms of battery? This afternoon I'll go to install it ??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:

Yes now is good but two days ago when i tried to downloading doesn't work..

Thanks anyways for your nice work im going to install it now :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
In /system/priv-app you need to add:

- ThemeCenter

- SamsungThemes_v4

- SamsungAccount_Dream

After this you can sign in to Samsung and use the Samsung theme store.

Screen mirroring ... no idea ... I don't use this.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Instructions on how to make your own variant of this rom (on linux).

Download and unpack/unzip the official Samsung firmware (e.g. from sammobile).

You should have files like:

AP_G950FXXU1AQL5_CL12640043_QB16101103_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5
BL_G950FXXU1AQL5_CL12640043_QB16101103_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP_G950FXXU1AQL5_CP8346489_CL12640043_QB16101103_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_OXM_G950FOXM1AQL5_CL12640043_QB16101103_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OXM_G950FOXM1AQL5_CL12640043_QB16101103_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

Then open a shell and do:

> cd ~
> tar xvf AP_G950FXXU1AQL5_CL12640043_QB16101103_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5
> ls

You should see boot.img and system.img in your home directory.

Now download the rom, save it in your home directory and unzip it.

> cd ~
> mkdir minirom
> cd minirom
> unzip ~/minirom_v1.zip

And then do:

> cp ~/boot.img .
> tar cvf ~/myapps.tar system/app/My* system/priv-app/My*
> rm -rf system/*

Install the package android-tools-fsutils; the way to do this depends on your linux distribution, e.g. on Ubuntu do:

> sudo apt install android-tools-fsutils

then execute the following commands:

> cd ~/minirom
> simg2img ~/system.img ~/fs.img
> sudo mount -o loop ~/fs.img system
> sudo chown -R user.user system

On the last line replace "user.user" your own username, e.g. roger.roger

Now the directory "system" contains the original Samsung files.

Download the "makes8rom" script from |OP|.

Copy it to the minirom directory, make sure it is executable:

> cd minirom
> chmod +x makes8rom

Edit the script to your own liking ;) and execute it

> cd minirom
> touch nogo
> ./makes8rom mini

and

> tar xvf ~/myapps.tar

Create a zip file with:

> cd minirom
> zip -r ~/minirom.zip .

Finally reboot the phone in TWRP recovery, then use adb to push the file onto the phone:

> adb push ~/minirom.zip /sdcard/

And install via TWRP. Best is to wipe system/cache/data/dalvik. First boot will always take a bit of time ... be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ImbaWind:
I mean after you delete those apks, the Samsung's framework.apk, Settings.apk and things alike might have certain stuff associated with the deleted apk, will they look for the missing(deleted) stuff when something triggered them such as when using screenshot or sharing a file?

For one, if you delete Device maintenance, the option is gone from the Settings, but does the Settings spend time to look for the file when you open Settings app and possible an error entry in logcat?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
No, device maintenance just injects an extra setting in the menu which will trigger the intent to start up the device maintenance app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ImbaWind:
I see... good to know!

What about others?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] roizcorp2:
I really appreciate a debloated rom even OS (using linux over 10 years now) - thank you for your efforts.

The language coverage though, Hebrew and other languages fail to show. While I feel this is something to be fixed rather than an added feature, I do not want to start a comotion over this. so, can Hebrew be supported?

Keep up the great work

Hi [MENTION=3463514]foobar66[/MENTION]

Im still enyoing your Rom , any chance you can guide me or give me a clue on how to add the "sharing service" , for example when you take a screenshot and you get the options for edition or sharing, etc.. right away , this is the only feature Im missing :(

Thanks again for the rom , runs really smooth !
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Just go to the gallery and share from there ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pvillasuso:
Yeah , I know but thats an extra step ..

So much easier to take the screenshot and have the option immediately to share , edit , etc

I dont know which samsung service does that :/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dr460nf1r3:
Id like to include Iris and delete all the Samsung crap Like camera gallery and phone app and use google ones what do i have to include and delete?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
You need (but this is already in v1 ROM):

/system/priv-app/SecIrisService/

Delete:

/system/priv-app/SamsungContactsStable/

/system/priv-app/PhotoStudio_WQHD_Dream/

/system/priv-app/SamsungCamera7/

/system/priv-app/SamsungVideoPlayer2016/

/system/priv-app/SecGallery2015/

/system/priv-app/Messaging_SEP81/

You will need: google dialer, google messenger and google contacts. Also a camera and a gallery.

I have tried to replace dialer, contacts and messages with the Google variants and it works.

Contacts and Messages -> download from play store

Dialer -> download latest version from apkmirror; it MUST be installed in /system/priv-app; to do that, rename the downloaded apk to dialer.apk then do the following

> adb push dialer.apk /sdcard
> adb shell
> su
> cd /system/priv-app/
> mkdir GoogleDialer
> cd GoogleDialer
> cp /sdcard/dialer.apk base.apk
> chmod 755 GoogleDialer
> chmod 644 GoogleDialer/base.apk
> chown -R 0.0 GoogleDialer
> sync
> reboot

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
OK ... I have a full Google phone now.

Google dialer

Google contacts

Google messaging

AOSP gallery (lineage)

Only Samsung left is:

- AOD (always on display)

- fingerprint

- Settings (of course)

- Camera (technically possible to use another camera but you will loose many of the Samsung feaures)

Substratum theming is working (you need to pay for "sungstratum" from the play store).

Maybe its just me, but the ROM killed 2 of my 64GB external SD Cards

After installation it says SD Card must be formatted, if i format it, well it starts formatting finishes it, but nothing happens, no sd card in system and the "You need to format your sd card" stays there

if i dont format it, also no SD Card in System

I pulled out the SD Card and tried to format it on Windows AND Linux, nothing, they are dead!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foobar66:
Again, the whole point of this ROM was to remove Samsung stuff except the absolute necessary to keep Android going. I don't have time to build dedicated packages for everybody who wants Samsung X or Y. Then use another ROM please. Sorry.

I could do it through Aroma ... but no time in the coming days to work on this.

There are instructions higher up in the treat to add stuff. Please try those.
