Hi, where is this "save power button", app? i don't find, any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Indeed, these files have been edited (by me).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
would you mind elaborating in what you edited (roughly)? or maybe a short version: will i get in trouble if i put stock versions back?

btw, where exactly is the mod located that defines google photos as gallery app in camera? :)

Can you try with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad and let me know the result?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Richard_10:
Ofc we need magisk, that goes without saying
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Enrico0815:
Can you try adding back the normal samsung Video player??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
No... We dont want that app in the rom. Do as he says. I dont have any problems with the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Enrico0815:
Since v27 no laggs anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Richard_10:
Can you please point me to what to modify in order to change the photo app from google photo to gallery ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
Gallery its not in this Rom thankfuly..

Google photos > Samsung Gallery.. Why do u wanna change? Its a Google ROM so... You cant change to a Samsung app.

Google Photos is way better either way...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Richard_10:
My friend I ask the dev how to do it.

I have my reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
You will need to use the Camera from the original Samsung firmware (or from apkmirror, e.g. version 7.6.22).

The camera APK file in my ROM has been patched (source code) to use the Google photos as gallery.

If you use the original APK then it will use the Samsung gallery.

The gallery to use is hardcoded in the code ... ugly coding practise from Samsung ...

Anyway, if you replace the apk /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera7/ with the original one you will be able to use the Samsung gallery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Good ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Seppitux:
Hey v27 is the best !! Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zxspectrun:
Such a shame not having this rom on s8+ fully ported (nx custom kernel) it's just perfect
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Next release over the weekend I will integrate full NX kernel ... that should hopefully allow to run on S8+ ... but since I don't have the device I will not be able to test anything !!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zxspectrun:
Don't worry, I can test them all :) and I'm sure others users want to try too

Edit: I already know the reason why you don't create a telegram group but maybe you could leave the administration to someone else, someone you know well here
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
noooo, no more releases! it's fine as it is now!! #flashaholic :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mbar64:
v27 is better but same problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
can you guys post a video of the problem. or at least try and install mxplayer and see if it helps?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Just a tip ...

You guys probably know that you can hide the navbar (Settings > Nav Bar; then enable the first option).

The nav bar would only stay on the Nova launcher ...

However ... I just found that you can disable the navbar within Nova as well; this gives you a very nice home screen (see picture attached) without nav bar and you can still get the navbar back by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.

Go to Nova settings; Appearance and Behavior; there is an option to hide the navbar.

Well ... I had not used this before and did not know it existed ... So I even learn new things about my own ROM ;) lol

Note that you can also press the bixby button from any app to return to the launcher.

See attach picture.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] porkslapchop90:
The best AOSP/Google like rom so far(even better than the lightrom google edition).You even take time to remove missing shortcuts out of the settings app. It's just amazing how the things you like to do in your rom coincide with my needs. Btw on start I had a module already installed with no title or information next to it. Is it bixby remapper? Any way to change the bixby button behaviour so it opens the camera or torchlight for example?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
Yep.. this is the best rom for the S8 by far. Congrats to the dev. And his frequently updated witch is awesome! 5*
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Yes and no ...

You can remap the bixby key to open the camera.

Edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl

Replace the line:

with

But why would you do that ... pressing power button twice also opens the camera.

Check out the same file for other key mappings.

To launch the torch using the bixby key is not possible by just editing this file. You will need an app for that.

I Try this trick for this video lag but not hjelped. When I closer background and open again coming this video lag again for Facebook Instagram or Snapchat samme. only when I open first time takes time for the video player ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rpsweb:
I installed the rom, it seems great very fast, how ever when I plug it into my computer in MTP mode, my phone does not appear in Windows Explorer
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
it works fine here. remember to unlock the phone (pin/fingerprint) after you connect it. else it won't show as drive.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rpsweb:
I havent setup any lock yet
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] porkslapchop90:
OK when you say it like it this it's a bad idea. Seems like nova home or Google Assistant(which I don't use) are the best uses for the button.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I have unfortunately removed all Nougat versions from Androidfilehost to keep the used space down. Why do you want to go back to Nougat?

The last version on Nougat is far behind what the ROM looks like today on Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] JulietteOnXDA:

VoLTE / VoWIFI

Please, VoLTE/VoWIFI, when,? Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
Same problem [MENTION=2842870]foot[/MENTION]bar66 . The device dosent appear on Windows with the drivers installed. Its a bit problematic. It happened on the v27.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rpsweb:
Its defo a an issue with the rom, twrp worked I could see my phone in Windows
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Do you know what the latest release was when it was still working?

Normally I have changed nothing related to MTP.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Don't ask for ETA ...

Currently VoLTE is too complicated; it heavily relies on Samsung CSC framework which has been totally removed from the ROM.

Wificalling you can do with Whatsapp ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
It was in v27 when u updated the kernel. Maybe it is a bug in a kernel. In twrp i can see the phone. When i reboot and enter the rom i cant. As the other user describes above.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I do not use MTP and I am not on Windows ... so difficult for me to test ...

Would you mind testing it with v26 to check if it is working there?

As you say, could be an issue with the new kernel ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Alternatively ... if you know what you're doing ...

1) unzip the attached file and push the boot.img file to your phone (boot.img) (this is the Samsung kernel)

2) Reboot to recovery

3) then do

% adb shell

# dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/11120000.ufs/by-name/BOOT

# sync; reboot

4) reboot the phone normally (it will now use the Samsung kernel) and check if MTP is working

To go back to v27, just reboot into recovery and reflash googlewiz_oreo_v27.zip (dirty flash)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mrlewwilson:
First time posting on xda but figured it may be useful for some people who LOVE this rom but miss the "OK Google" functionality...

Firstly, this is a fantastic rom, cannot recommend it enough! Battery life is amazing and all core functionality is there, comes as close to an AOSP rom as humanly possible, imo. There were only a few things I added to this to make it fit to my needs; Ok Google function, GoogleTTS and ProductSans font for AOD & Lockscreen clock (which I created to stop the stupid comma mark from showing up... If anyone wants it I'll stick a link somewhere.

This took me several attempts as I'm a total noob when it comes to this and locked myself out of my phone twice (added a "VoiceServiceFramework" and "VoiceWakeUp" thinking it may help as the assistant was still greyed out even after adding the "Velvet" folder) and it basically wiped my PIN so I couldn't get back into my phone, even with the correct PIN :(

Anywho, days pass looking for a solution... then I found the wonderful resources of "LightRom", downloaded, extracted, headed into the folder "debloat" and there was the magical "HotwordEnrollmentOKGoogleCORETEXM4" - added that and the Velvet folder into system/priv-app, cleared cache and data of Google app, restarted and.... VOILA. OK Google working like a charm so far (AOD & Screen on)

Don't know if it will work for others but I believe that's all I added (as well as disabling ALL PIN, Patterns and Fingerprints just incase it froze me out for whatever reason, wasn't going to take any chances of that again).

Again, huge appreciation to the creator, keep doing what your doing and hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
ONLY FOR S8+ users ... first S8+ build is available ...

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657594951

Please note that I don't own an S8+ ... so I was not able to test.

Please feedback if it works or not; if it works then next release will be a combined S8/S8+ release.

This is the same release as yesterday (v28); so S8 users don't have to do anything.

During the installation you should see:

- Flashing NX kernel

- S8+ 955 model
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Pretty good for a first post ... ;)

"VoiceServiceFramework" and "VoiceWakeUp" you don't need; this is the voice framework from Samsung.

Velvet is the Google search app; this is already part of the ROM (so you don't need either).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
wow, the comma mark! i opened several threads here and tried almost everything i could think of myself, but i didn't find a solution for it.. and here you are! :) so.. YES PLEASE share the font :)

would you mind explaining what you did exactly or what the problem was? this has cost me so much time that i really like to know now!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Just add /system/priv-app/HotwordEnrollmentOKGoogleCORTEXM4/

I will integrate it into next release together with the Google assistant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
https://befonts.com/download/product-sans
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
i think mrlewwilson created a modded version of the font (or at least that's what i think), so i'd like that one. most stock fonts seem to f*** up the lockscreen clock ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mrlewwilson:
Thanks. I still have Velvet in my /priv-app folder but if your incorporating the HotwordCortex into the next release then I won't need to muddle around, sincere thanks to all your hard work!

Removed the Samstuff once it didn't work :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Wait for the next release ... it will contain the Google pixel fonts ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mrlewwilson:
I was like you, looking high and low for a solution because for 10 unbearable minutes of my life, a comma would appear instead of a 1 on my AOD and Lockscreen.

After two days and downloading the befonts package mentioned, applying and not getting anywhere I downloaded FontForge and figured out how to apply the 'grave' icon (that stupid "`" even has a name) to a 1 from the font mentioned before. All I've done is create the same font but smaller to only include numbers, a ":" and replaced the '`' with a number 1. Seems to work fine now.

Font below, just replace in system/fonts/

Can't post the link :( not 10 posts in... Can I message you it personally?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
ah great. you would almost think that samsung made the 'error' on purpose, so people wouldn't change out their ugly clock font :)

is it possible to put it in a pm? then i can post it here for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Another easter present ...

v29 (2018-03-31):

- New: Nova google companion

- New: Google assistant

- New: Google pixel fonts

- Swipe from home screen left border to display Google card feed (enable in Nova settings > Integrations > Google Now Page; also open the Google search app to initialize it)

Google assistant only works with English/UK set as main language and you must have internet connection.

Note that assistant won't work from the lock screen or AOD ... that would be "unsafe".

Note: you can speed up Nova a lot: Nova settings > Look & Feel > {Scroll speed, Animation speed} => set to "Faster than light"

Dear foobar66,

Does google dialer in your firmware work with 2 sim cards correctly?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
thanks man. here it is for the rest of you. all credits to mrlewwilson.

push the files to system/fonts and your aod/lockscreen clock font will be google font instead of the ugly samsung one :)

samsung made the clock font in such a weird way that you couldn't simply swap out the original clock font for another one. some characters would be messed up. thia font is edited manually, so it displays properly.

woohoo! :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
First go to camera settings, change the location for storing pictures to the SD card.

Take 1 picture with the camera now; jump from the camera to google photos.

You will then get a folder called DCIM/Camera on the external SD.

Move your old files into DCIM/Camera with a file manager.

Also, go to Settings > Apps; click the menu (3 dots) and "Show system apps"; then go the the app called Media storage; clear cache and data and reboot your phone.

Albums made with the Samsung gallery will not be recognized.

Google photos albums are only in the cloud.

Dual sim and smartview

Dear users of this firmware. I have two questions:

1) Does somebody use this firmware with dual sim phone. Does dealer work correct with two sim cards?

2) Did somebody try to add smartview files to firmware? Which files and where?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
i think it's because of the way that samsung (camera and gallery) deal with photos and folders differently than google photos.

samsung software stores stuff in subfolders of dcim (e.g. photos / screenshots / etc) and samsung gallery sees all these folders separately.

google photos just sees everything in dcim as one folder.

so, at least in my case, it does show all pictures, but it doesn't separate them according to subfolder. so my screencaptures and photos and vids are all shown in one place :)

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

2) what functionality do you mean exactly? the screen mirroring stuff? just get the latest apk from apkmirror and push it to /system/app and it'll work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Andrunya:
Yes. I ment screen mirroring and chromecast
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:

Hi all,

This rom is really fast and battery seems not to end.

Yesterday I needed to call the police in my country and the dialer wasn't completing the call. Is it related to CSC (because they are special numbers as police, firefighters, etc)? Or just a bug in my phone?
