No way of resizing system partition, or would that affect TWRP during installation?

Again, apologies for being noob. But would this also be an issue even if I also have the 64gb variant? I understand that there's a 256gb variant of the korean N950N.

Thread has been updated

, U5DSB2 (Pie stable) DevBase v6.0 (February security patches, changelist 15325116) :cool:

Dirty flash over my Oreo DevBase ROM SHOULD WORK WITHOUT ISSUES but before you try - I would highly recommend you to set default (stock) theme and default (stock) icons !!! However - I would recommend you clean install (Wipe -> Swipe to Factory Reset is enough)

Download ROM:

SM-N950F/DS:

(you can find bootloader in my updated repository, but BL update is not mandatory)

v6.0 CHANGELOG (comparing to v5.9):

- Introduced logging entire installation process (to devbase_install.log file, placed in /data or /cache in case of encrypted devices). These logs may significantly increase the possibility of my help in case of problems with/after installation

- Major imrovements/bugfixes/optimizations related to Android Pie support (e.g. takes care about special SELinux contexts for /odm content, introduced in Pie)

- Removed SuperSU support. Changed allowed "root" variable value in options.prop to true/false (backward compatible with old options.prop file)

- Removed "skipblcp" option - baseband/modem will be always updated, bootloader need to be flashed separately (update is usually not mandatory)

Known problems:

- [CLEAN INSTALL] Magisk Manager may not appear after clean install despite Magisk has been installed without errors during install - if you notice that there is no Magisk Manager - DO NOT flash Magisk, it is enough to install Magisk Manager as normall app - use ATTACHMENT (it is original apk from Magisk v18.1) and then reboot device (important!!!).

- OEM unlock toggle has been hidden in this release to avoid confusion - it is intended (in Pie Beta it was in OFF position and such state worried many people). Don't worry about it :)

Differences comparing to Oreo DevBase ROM:

- No Xposed (we need to wait for rovo89)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] _alexndr:
I remembered that you looked for a solution for that some time ago - since I found the answer already:

Change:

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

to:

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowedByMenu</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

That's all :cool: This will cause that Call Recording is possible by menu (auto record calls) but there is no "record" button - there is still "add call" option in the dialer :)

It's not so simple in case of my ROM concept... Not worth the effort. Just wait for N950N update..

No matter - all major partitions has same size except /data which is larger in 256G model

seems like a good rom

installed it cleanly over 8.1 rom I had previously - no issues, install went smooth, initial boot took less than 2min

issues I noticed:

1) when using gestures to swipe down the status bar from home screen, it takes 2-3 tries for it to register that gesture before status bar is pulled down

2) when using swipe up gesture from home screen to show app drawer, transitioning animation drops frames (not every time)

3) always on display will light up the clock when it moves its position - clock then goes dim after a few seconds, but will light up again once its position is moved - is this a bug or ? why does it need to light up on every position change? I always think I got a new notification or something when it lights up, but no

and some questions:

1)is it possible to remap bixby button (and is it safe to delete all bixby apks from phone if I am not using it?) ?

2) is it possible to use the old style recent apps switcher (so they rotate vertically instead of horizontally) ?

3) can the volume control be auto expanded when using the volume buttons instead of just showing the ringtone volume ?

thank you

edit*

it would be cool if you would add "Restart to recovery" option in the shut down menu (menu that shows up after holding the power button) :)

Hello

I'm using a SM-N950N 64GB

I really appreciate your efforts, But I'm having some issues with the pie ROM.

There's a lot of Korean content appearing on things like Bixby Home and T USIM app that can't be Disabled and T Roaming services menu in settings that can't be removed, Plus I'm getting the Korean versions of Samsung Members and Samsung Music (I Didn't have those issues on the previous devbase Oreo)

And one thing that is really frustrating me that there's no edge lighting while playing music in Samsung Music which used to work fine, and I'm getting a lot of streaming stuff fore Korean music etc..

I was using your oreo devbase and everything was great and no Korean stuff was popping up.

Also there's something I would like to know, When I Bought this N950N from a friend it had a 7.0 Stock-ish rom that made it act like a N950F/DS and dual sim functionality was working great but I wanted to update to oreo so I flashed TWRP and downloaded your oreo devbase (Lost dual sim), Is there's a way to get this functionality back because I need it knowing that it was working great and the phone had 2 IMEIs on whatever ROM that was

Edit: I flashed N950N stock ROM using Odin before you released your Pie devbase ROM and then re-flashed TWRP and then your new rom (I was using your Oreo rom before flashing the Pie stock one)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] _alexndr:
Something went wrong according to above behavior (other issues may also be side effects of installation problem). There should not be above stuff - especially T-Roaming service menu.

Please post here /data/devbase_install.log file - it will help me to figure out what exactly went wrong during install.

BTW. I have no experience with remaking originally 1 sim phone to dual sim - can't give you a good advice related to this part of your report

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] blackhawk_LA:
I know it's no rom fault, but is anyone else having random reboots (once per day or so) while using Edxposed? I think this is the culprit, since its the only thing I've changed in the rom along with debloating and using substratum.

[MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] Please would you happen to know the size of the system partition on the SM-N950F/DS?

I'm looking to flash the unlocked and unbranded UK CSC on my SM-N950N. However, doing that breaks Bixby and other region-locked Samsung services as they detect my device model number is not in the region. So, I was looking to just flash your SM-N950F ROM on it, which should address all of the region problems.

You earlier said the issue isn't straight forward due to the partition problem. So, I thought if I manually resize my Note 8's partitions via TWRP, that should address the issue and wouldn't require any change on your part.

How is the battery life on this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] MrElectrifyer:
From my experience, battery life is indifferent compared to Samsung's Stock ROM.

The key reason for this ROM is for a bloatware-free, full-featured stock Samsung experience (aside from Knox-dependent features).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PlutoDelic:
This is as stock as a custom rom can be, and with root, you have the luxury to decide what you do with battery life.

I have not seen this reported. So could just be me.

After a couple of days I noticed that I could not receive or make calls... When I make a call it rings the other line and disconnects immediately as soon as they answer ... Same happens when someone calls me.... Disconnects as soon as I answer a call.

The first time it happened I thought it was random... So flashed the system again and all good... But it happened again after a couple of days...

Anyone else?

It's comments like these that might push him to completely ignore Note 8. He does the same thing for various other phones.

Remember, this rom is built with minimal alterations, even things such as mods are encouraged to be added by yourself. It is not a "feature" rom, it's just the shortest path for most people who would like the nearest custom rom to stock. Its sole point initially was to have "a base for devs".

Questions about Note 8 N95N- used in North America (Canada)

First, I would like to thank you for the time and efforts you put into developing this ROM.

Second, I have a unique question regarding my device- N950N. I am a complete novice, so bear with me (I have, however, been following this thread for over 6 months & reading your post & some select posts daily)

I am currently rooted & running another custom ROM, which has not only removed the South Korean specific bloatware, but also enabled me to change csc to my carrier & country code to Canada. Also, my device now appears as N950F, when I used "Phone Info" app to check.

My question: Should I flash the N950N version of your ROM, or should I flash the N950F version ( since my device appears as such in my current ROM)?

I understand I need to do a clean install, since I was never on your ROM before & wonder, if that would reset my device to default N950N & bring back all the South Korean crap.

Any member with on this ROM using same device outside of South Korea, especially North America (Canada in particular), or have encounter this unique situation can assist to free up developer's time. If the developer can chip in too, that'll be great. All would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your assitance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] PlutoDelic:
Flash the 950N package, that is fundamentally what phone model you have and what variant of the firmware you need.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] bober10113:
u can try flashing this csc pack( should help remove some of the bloat):

https://1drv.ms/f/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgeA6IyH1iTzQAGB4MA

if i remember correctly, u cant flash this rom's F variant on your N since it detects bootloader and it just wont flash.

so either u stick with the N rom (from thisbthread which is outdated btw) or just install any other rom from the dev section and ull get rid of the korean stuff. but ull still need csc so again flash the csc selector pack from the onedrive link above.

edit

so i had nothing to do and tested flashing dev base, and flashed the csc pack and selected my carrier (bell) and virtually all the korean stuff is gone appart from 1 app that seems to pop up and ask something.
