Are you on the latest release? There is no mode called "dynamic approach".

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean. You asked if Outlook would sync with your Google calendar ... it will not do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
In am of course on the latest release (v38) ... I have Outlook/exchange as well for my work email and I can see my work calendar inside the Outlook app. Obviously not in the Google calendar app. I will check tonight with the old calendar provider and let you know the result.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
ow, well i use google calendar and see my exchange stuff in there. and always have. so it is probably because of the samsung calendar provider?

Hi, feedback sound and sound Google Keyboard now working in this version?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Stargo_esp:
Yes, I'm on V38. In the selfie mode there is the dynamic mode. In the main chamber, if you slide from the right to the left, some settings also come down, the adjustment wheel also gives a fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Strange ... I don't have a mode called "dynamic" ... Did you do a clean flash? Try clearing the camera data and check if it reoccurs.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I just swapped back to the Samsung calendar provider ... no change for me.

How did you do your setup then?

Maybe you originally set something up via the Samsung calendar?

I have an exchange account set up via Microsoft Outlook app ... but I still cannot see the calendar entries in the Google calendar.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Stargo_esp:
Yes, I did it from clean. I asked other colleagues who have this base of other rom and if it worked. I can not upload photos even though I'm new to the forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:

Anyone having this issue? I can't allow adb access. when I tap "OK" a toast message: "Because an app is obscuring a permission request, Settings can't verify your response." appear.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Weird ... make a backup, do a clean install and connect your USB cable during the first installation screen. You should get a dialog as the one above; allow USB access. Check if the problem is gone then.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dr460nf1r3:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] side_flip15:
I had the same issue with V37 before. I did a full wipe when I installed V38 problem still persists.

I'll to do a full wipe later when I get home and report back. Maybe it's one of my app that causes the issue.

v39 (2018-04-25):

- Update: Google webview

- Update: Google play services

- Update: Google app

- Update: Google photos

- Update: Samsung camera

- Update: Contacts storage

- New: Google tasks

- New: Black nav bar

- Corrected missing permissions for priv-app APKs

- Remove non working panorama mode in camera

- Made double speaker mod configurable

- Busybox 1.28.3 upgrade

- Display SMS messages with server sending time instead of phone receiving time

- Disable annoying popups from SmartManager

"Google Tasks" is a new app. If you do NOT want to install it, put "tasks=0" in the googlewiz.config file.

Black nav bar is only useful if you plan to use a black/dark theme with Substatum. No need to use this for a white theme.

Black nav bar is NOT installed by default. If you want it, put "blacknavbar=1" in googlewiz.config.

To activate the black nav bar, go to Settings > Display > Navigation bar; then select the black color.

Double speaker mod is now NOT included by default; put "dualspeakermod=1" in googlewiz.config if you want it.

If you dirty flash v39 then remove and recreate your Google account (see 1 post down).

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] igalmarino:
After upgrading from v38 to v39 (dirty flashing) Contacts was empty. Deleting and re adding the Google account solved the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
There is a new version of contacts provider in v39. That is probably the reason. Thanks for the tip. I did a clean flash so I did not see this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
awesome, the updates keep getting better and better!

i won't be able to install any updates the next few days, so the 'ruby jubilee' edition (v40 ;)) will be my next update :)

[MENTION=3463514]foobar66[/MENTION]: does the black navbar mod just add an option for the black color in settings, or will it hardcode it to black and other options/settings are lost? cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
There will be an additional option in settings; so you can still choose white or another color.

The black navbar is really only useful with a black theme.

Not all apps behave consistently with the navbar.

Ideally an app would be full screen with a transparent navbar (like it is on the Nova launcher).

So whatever color you choose (black or white) there will always be some apps where it still does not look good.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] boybaho182:
Noob question here

How do i push the googlewiz.config into adb?

I really like the dual mod speaker and black nav bar as I am using substratum.

For clarification, just make a txt file that named googlewiz.config that is seen in the OP then push via adb?

Respect, and thanks for the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] eduaponce:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
Googlewizz is in the zip file and can be edited directly if you use winrar imo

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Girls and boys ...

Can I just repeat that I do not read PMs.

I get PMs asking for help ... first search through the thread and then ask the question on the forum, not in a PM.

I get PMs asking to include Samsung X,Y,Z ... the answer is NO ... read the |OP| again ... if you want Samsung, go use a Samsung ROM.

And to be clear ... no telegram ... I don't have time for that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Pointless question as it depends on what you have installed on the phone and what runs in standbye.

Why don't you try and then report back here ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] regisknechtel:
I think he meant compared to the stock ROM, when using the same apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Obviously better ... the stock ROM contains all the bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] regisknechtel:
OK, you're just making this more difficult than it needs to be. He probably wants to know how much better!

Here's an example: "I used to lose 4% overnight on stock, now it's less than 2%!".

If you can't help him, just let another person do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zoltain73:
Without a doubt I will vote this rom to be the best I ever tested, however only one major drawback with the result that I cannot use the rom as it does not cater for my samsung gear S3 Frontier. Is there no way you might consider to include smart wear in this AWESOME rom as I WANT it, but it makes my gear s3 a mere piece of useless equipment, you consideration will be sincerely appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dr460nf1r3:
Do it yourself. For noobs Orel debloat restore zip is the way to go
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:

v40 (2018-04-28):

- Update: Google play store

- Update: Google photos

- Update: Swiftkey

- Update: Message background service

- New: auto hide navbar

- Added more Android settings during first boot

- ext4 performance improvements

To auto hide the navbar, put "autohidenavbar=1" in googlewiz.config file.

You can get the navbar back by swiping from the bottom of the screen.

After a few secs the navbar will disappear again.

Or if you have Nova, press the bixby key to exit the app on screen and go back to the home screen.

If you do a fresh install, the navbar will always be displayed (even if you have "autohidenavbar=1").

Just reboot the phone and it will work as of the 2nd time (this has to do with Android's first time initialization).

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] surfsyco:
I tried to install the gear manager files etc via the Oreo restore zip but the the gears3 plugin keeps stopping when trying to sync watch to phone...unless I'm doing something wrong.

What I did was:

Flashed latest v40 release (clean flash) - then rebooted.

Entered twrp and flashed Oreo restore zip (selected all gear manager options) and rebooted.

Any steps I'm missing?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:
Yeha I've tried that before and had the same issue as you.

Have a look at foobar's suggestion, might help!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zoltain73:
The only files that were missing were the ones you previously posted in my comment, all files were allocated to the directories by ways of root explorer and permissions granted, but for some reason whilst you pair the device with the gear s3, gear s plugin has stopped, pop up every time and thus the pairing remains unsucsefull.

Thanks foobar, but i did a clean full install twice to verified before posting. Fhd+ don't satisfied me with this uge dpi (didn't do that in v39).

For substratum and swift black there is all infos on the play store to apply the theme (for the two last release)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I use Swift Black (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers).

- Install the app

- Go to substratum

- Click on swift black (you will get the lockscreen; go back to Swift Black; you will see that icons in navbar and statusbar are back to default Samsung)

- Make sure you select "Android 8 - Samsung" at the top of swiftblack

- Then click the box for calendar for example

- Click the floating round button and build the overlay

- Reboot

- Calendar should be black and you should still have Swift Black within substratum

See atach

After the reboot I usually disable substratum using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler ... reenable when you need to build more overlays
