Went to the Sammy service center to check for a screen replacement ...

They bluntly refused to do repair as they saw that the original Samsung software was not on the phone.

The repair guy argued that he needs to do certain tests after a screen repair and that can only be done on a device with original software.

So ... NO SERVICE from Sammy ... I was furious and said that screen replacement is a hardware issue ...

Anyway ... their price is what I found on the site: 258 euro ... that is f**king crazy !

I am gonna write a mail to Samsung Belgium complaining about their service.

No more Samsung for me ... EVER ...

I will try to find an independent repairer next week.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kuduku:
i always add themin original ROM before flashing
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] raj.ayush78:
Ok thanks will try and tell tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Noxxxious:
Also they can restore easily to stock, such a lame excuse.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] funiewski:
They can't refuse, there is EU law about it. Samsung replaced my screen here in Sweden with your rom present, they didn't say a word
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Journyman16:
I the EU they cannot refuse service based on software - it is illegal.

I'd go elsewhere anyway based on the ridiculous price but also put in an official complaint about them. Particularly in Belgium. :D

And as I repair them myself, that cost is more than 5x the cost of parts - they're charging you 200 Euro for 30 mins work.

AND the only testing that needs doing is to start the phone. If the screen works everything else is fine because you don't even have to remove the front of the phone, just the glass.

You are being discriminated against for using your phone how you want to use it - in other parts of the world they might be able to get away with it but not in the EU.

Hello. Having trouble with Gmail here. How do you update your Google play services?

Update:

I found it! Never mind man!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Hi guys! I have managed to get the camera working with all its futures. I have downloaded the latest version of Ambasadii rom and simply copied the camera into the /system. I have put the camera zip into my GDrive. So if you want it just download, unzip it in mixplorer, copy into the system (replacing existing files) and reboot. It works with GPhotos, even slo-mo so you don't need to change anything else.

Cheers

Edit:

Don't copy SamsungCamera8 folder from the zip.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] xxxPLETTIxxx:
I can confirm, working like charm. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] SevenD2:
Will this work with Zero mod afterwards ?

Edit: it does not
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
I have no idea. Just try and tell us...

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

Guys watch out, I have just rebooted to recovery to flash the latest vanced and after that the camera was gone. You have to remove SamsungCamera8 from /System/priv-app or just don't copy it from ambasadii camera zip.

can someone help me I can not make this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emeint.android.mwallet.smartwallet&hl=en work with magisk hide it always detect that i am rooted but on other roms renovat ice it works so could someone try it ??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] k4piii1:
1+6t notch, no microsd, no headphone jack, slower fingerprint sensor, flat screen, 1080p screen, no waterproof or ipxx, camera maybe same as s8+ in the best cases, dash charge is not standard so I bought a lot of qc3.0 chargers for car and home, worst mic quality.

So for me th s8+ is still an mvp, on USA the f version you can get it now for less than $380.

If someone can continue with the project it'll be awesome
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
1+6t notch -> can be disabled

no microsd -> no need with 256MB of memory

no headphone jack -> you get a small USB C connector in the box

slower fingerprint sensor -> no ... it is not slow ... just a tiny bit slower than S8

flat screen -> true

1080p screen -> true

no waterproof or ipxx -> true (but I don't care so much)

camera maybe same as s8+ in the best cases -> don't know yet ... have not compared any pictures

dash charge is not standard -> what means "standard" for you? the dash charge is a lot faster than Samsung's

Both have pros and cons, but after a few days of usage I actually do like the 6T

- very fast (fatser than S8)

- dual sim

- face unlock is very fast (not sure how safe it is)

- standard "black" theme + you can tune the non-black color

- screen quality is good, S8 is a twad better ... but no complaint really

- standard immersive mode with navigation gestures (better than the Pixel pil)

- almost no bloat (and can be easily turned off)

- complicated partitioning with A/B partitions ... still have not figured it out yet and bricked my phone already x2 (lol)

- slightly too big ...

- battery life is fantastic

It took me half a day during the weekend to get the GoogleWiz stuff running on the 6T.

In all honesty ... difficult to choose ... lucky I have both ... but who needs 2 phones anyway ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] raj.ayush78:
Excellent. Thnk u very much. Just the super slow mo does not work bt as i have seen super slow mo does nt work properly in the new camera ui even in other roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
You're unfortunately right... Maybe it needs some extras to make super slow motion work. It looks like it would like to start working when you switch the memory to internal. I'll take a look at it later.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] :
I updated to v90

However, I noticed cellular handover and signal became poor. I'm getting lower signal bars than what I am used to. Sometimes, signal dropping all together.

WiFi seem unchanged though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Hi foobar66!

Noxxxious has released new kernel NX-R18. Can we just flash it, or it needs some special treatment?

Edit:

Ok, I have installed NX-R18 and refreshed Magisk (run Magisk uninstaller and installed Magisk 17.3) everything runs smoothly, even with one bonus - Google backup started to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
what is this thing with camera not working? are you guys clean flashing or dirty? mod free install or are you guys messing around with mods/tweaks?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _sbth:
Lmao, no way. You got Backup working. I wonder if it was the Magisk reinstall or the kernel that did it. Did you clean flash the ROM? What was the order of things you did?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
I did not touch the ROM. I have downloaded NX-R18, Magisk 17.3 and Magisk uninstaller.

Reboot to recovery, flash NX-R18, flash uninstaller and flash Magisk 17.3, reboot to system.

Of course you'll have to hide apps once again, give permissions to your root apps eventually reinstall modules.

I was very surprised when I went to settings/google/google backup, about 40 minutes after flashing the kernel and Magisk, and there was a backup made already.

I think that the problem with GB was one of Google services added to hide list in Magisk - not sure about that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _sbth:
Interesting! I'm going to make a backup now and install just the kernel first and see what that does. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kuduku:
google backup started backing up even after starting it from clicking BACK IT NOW , there is no waitng now .

After all your kernel/magisk steps
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _sbth:
UPDATE: Can confirm that Google Backup now works, but I got it working with ONLY flashing the new kernel.

I wonder if something in the patched ramdisk or something that [MENTION=3463514]foobar66[/MENTION] applies is blocking it, and flashing a kernel gets rid of the patch, or if there was maybe a bug in R17 that blocks Google Backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Magisk will be broken. You will have to do the rest of steps as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _sbth:
You're right. It is broken. I'll have to reinstall it.

Turns out it's not Magisk that fixed Backup, though. I got it working by just flashing the kernel. Gonna reinstall Magisk now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Think twice, You have new kernel and broken Magisk. That doesn't give you a clear answer of what was wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _sbth:
Oof. Good point. I'm dumb.

EDIT: Hey, reinstalling Magisk fixed Magisk Hide! I can repackage it now!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] xxxPLETTIxxx:
Unfortunately flashing the new kernel and fixing magisk breaks support for Samsung Gear app. It always force closes. I reflashed the gear.zip from OP after the kernel and magisk. I was able to restore functionality by dirty flashing googlewiz v90 on top.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Sorry for delay.

Hy, someone flash this rom in to a SM-G955FD??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ole12:
Well, camera suddenly disappeared from the rom.

Used it alot earlier, now it's gone from the phone.

All I know is, i lost phone reception, restarted phone, phone reception back, camera not longer on phone.

Don't know if the restart trigger it, but it was then I noticed it.

Tried installing v90 again, still no camera....

All Google apps like Gmail are crashing with 'We have trouble with google play services'. Any fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Few posts back You got link to Google play services update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Make.Sense:
I got an issue with v89 and v90 where many apps aren't working (mix of crashing and black screen) such as Waze, Amazon and Evernote. Not sure what's wrong.

I did follow the link for the Google Play services, and it did not fix the issue.

Anyone encountered the same and know how to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Eddiemc:
Update play services, use apkmirror for latest version
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Make.Sense:
I have, but the issue persists.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Eddiemc:
Is chrome intact or have you removed it in config? I found that everything seems to rely on it for some reason. I had a lot of apps break for me after dirty 90 over 87. Clean 90 had the same issue. Added back chrome and everything seems to work ok. I hate having chrome though, but that's another issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Chrome is default webview implement, and on the other side Android system webview is as default disabled. If there is no Chrome than you have to enable Android system webview in apps and in developer options.

That's only a theory, I have never checked that, but I think that might be a reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Make.Sense:
Thanks man, Chrome was the culprit!

I had my Chrome removed, and I guess the latest versions of this ROM doesn't like that. I just changed the config to include chrome, reflashed v90 and now everything works again. I guess we'll have to leave it as "chrome=1" for the time being.

In case anyone else encounters the same issue: Just installing Chrome from the Play Store does not work. Just change the config and reflash the same build.

When I didn't have Chrome installed, Android System WebView was enabled and selected by default in the developer options. Now when I reflashed to include Chrome, Chrome is the default WebView Implementation, and Android System WebView is disabled by default (greyed out). It seems like the WebView implementation is what's causing some apps to crash/get stuck at loading screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Than maybe Android system webview needs an update to the latest version? I'm using Chrome all the time so I'm not having problems but if someone doesn't like it maybe it's worth to try...

Still theoretically...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Eddiemc:
It's disabled in play store. No option to enable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Latest version apkmirror

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] bob8x:
I can confirm that something is wrong with v90 and camera.

I installed straight after unlocking my phone ( twrp, format, unlock verify, wipe data, install v90)

also dirty/clean flashed v90.

in every way camera FC ( logcat attached ).

I can confirm that dirtyflashing v82 and again dirtyflashingv90 camera works

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Eddiemc:
ROM, then bootloader? Through twrp? Which twrp? Any error showing in twrp? Reckon there's some issue there.. provide some more details please.

thanks for concern bro but my problem is that when i flash this rom with twrp and restart my phone to boot after splash screen goes blank and i see nothing but if i flash original firmware it works just not this ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Journyman16:
As near as I can tell, that issue comes up when you either haven't flashed dm-no verity file and/or you didn't do the 'format data' step that requires you type a Yes to continue.

Note that Wiping data is not the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mooon3:
Hi there. I'm testing this rom, very good!!!

I'm only having one issue so far but a good one for me : I can't use Dropbox app... Every time I try to open a file, it FC...

I don't have any trouble with any other... I tried fresh install from Play Store as backuping a Titanium copy of the app from my previous rom. Crashes any time...

A guess someone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] shakeelajmal:
yes i know that since i am using custom roms for more then 5 years and i know the dm zip flashing i did everything without formatting data you cannot mount the /data partition and also not possible to use internal storage to copy files and without dm file you may have bootloops but i have no such problems my problem is blank screen after splash while phone is running and device can be recognize. i think this rom is not for me. thanks again for concern
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Eddiemc:
Come on man.

You've provided very little info. Several people jump in trying to help you with the issue and you seem occupied stating your superiority/knowledge (edit: I'm sorry if this sounds cruel) rather than providing more info/attempting to fix your issue. Based on your lack of info provided off course we'll all make assumptions that you've missed something crucial.

We all got this ROM running, so obviously the fault is at your end.

If you provide more info on all the steps taken, become a little more open to try suggestions etc, perhaps you'll get the help needed to run this ROM. If not you'll be stuck on stock.

Since you're so sure you've done everything right, theres nothing to suggest other than flashing another custom ROM. You say you go back to stock through Odin. Well, try flashing another custom ROM immediately and see if it'll boot. If not, you are doing something wrong, regardless of whether you've done this for 5 years or not..?

Edit:

At least try formatting data as suggested.

From stock I've previously done:

Oem unlock

Custom Recovery through Odin

Format and DM verity zip

Custom ROM (this ROM)

There are several guides. Follow them to the point (I've too flashed/rooted/jailbreaked for a while, (since the Nexus 1 iPhone 1 days), yet I normally pull as fresh guide on a new phone just to make sure I don't forget something stupidly obvious)

Just a quick question, I saw the fix for the Google play services problem in case your sync for Gmail or calendar stops (you have to update the Google play services by downloading the newest apk via apkmirror for example)

I find this fix really annoying, since this is my girlfriend's phone and she is not used to do such things.

My question is : why is it not updating by itself? and is there a way to make it auto-update?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Aelliaria:
As far as I know you only have to do it the first time? and after that your good.

haven't had any problems since updating google play services a few weeks ago my self so.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] shakeelajmal:
thanks for reply man i have done everything and again and again and searched whole thread, when my problem did not solved then i posted here but i think it was not good idea problem still persist my phone is fine and running other custom roms just fine but i wanted that extreme debloated one. other custom roms boot fine i flashed original rom and it worked fine too but only this rom wont boot properly. any way thanks once again for reply i have moved to other rom
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] CodeParade:
I had the same problem. Blank screen when was trying to add my Gmail at the setup. If you clean install without the config file (googlewiz.config) everything works but you will have all the Google bloatware. I tried several times to clean install with the config file with a bit changes every time but blank screen each time. Try clean install without the config and tell us if it worked
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dr460nf1r3:
This is probably caused by chrome missing. Leave it in there.

If I had to guess, I think he's saying he can't download from Mega. :)

Maybe English is not his first language? It's hard enough for those who DO hav it as first language with things like "Up with failure I will not put" being correct English that nobody uses. i.e. we break our 'rules' all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
You are absolutely right. But we all have Google translate implemented in the ROM and the "search bar" in our forum ? I know that we're making mistakes, it's very hard to write in foreign language, but if I have a problem and need someone's help I make my best that others understand me. ?

I was just thinking over time, the Google play services needs to be updated for the system to work flawlessly. There is no solution for this ? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Eddiemc:
Should auto update fine..

The fix was to install the latest version (normally realised a lot earlier on apkmirror) to make everything work since there was a lot of updated apps.

At least that's to my understanding. Someone might chime in if they know more..

Anyways. If you need to fix your girlfriends phone, add a shortcut to the download page on apkmirror, place it on the home menu, tell her to click it, press download, choose install, then ok. Not more advanced than that. Second thought, install stock on her phone unless you can be a phone doctor?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] flupke70:
Yeah I am doctor phone, I just hope that things would go seamlessly for her in the future.

BTW system apps (gmail, maps, ect) do not updates neither?
