Great Rom !

Coming from Renovate the only things I'm missing is the possibility to move the clock to left to have that true Pixel feeling.

Is it possible ?

Thanks you for your great work !
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Looks OK to me, except that there is a space at the end of the first line (but that should not give any issue).

File must be called "googlewiz.config" and put into /sdcard/

Then flash the ROM zip ...

I've done it a 1000 times and it always works for me ...

The only thing which I can see is that the file is in DOS format ...

I converted it to UNIX format ... put the attached file (but do NOT open it first with a text editor).

There are online convertors: https://www.fileformat.info/convert/text/dos2unix.tr

Edit: I am not a Windows guru but I think that wordpad can save files in unix format.

Ok I find it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] anton2dan:
First of all, I find the ROM wonderfull.. great to have an almost nexus/pixel-like alternative for samsung phones.

Thank you for that [MENTION=3463514]foobar66[/MENTION]!

I have a problem in v6... Once I enabled the hosts file for adblocking I lost network connectivity in the official Facebook app and the Google Now page in Nova Launcher.

I had to revert to the empty hosts file.

Maybe if you could take a look.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
To revert to the standard hosts file do:

% adb shell

> su

# hs

"hs" = hosts short

"hl" = hosts long

I don't have a problem with Facebook app. Google Now I have not used myself so not checked ...

The hosts files is coming from:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] anton2dan:
Thanks for the "hs" command.

I also noticed some trouble when trying to copy-paste phone numbers.

Clipboard doesn't seem to have the copied data.

I did a fresh install when installing v6.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Yes, I am aware. Copy/paste does not always work. Still need to try and find out what is wrong with that. I did see some error in the logcat related to a specific android permission yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Zentralist:
input Help

Hello foobar66. Thanks for the version v7. Now everything works so far. My input helpers do not always work properly. Text and language just do not work and the services in the input help either.

There is always a message that the input help is restarted. Have synonymous text in voice from Google installed, as you have described. Or you can import the same with in the next version in Rome? That would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Enrico0815:
Foobar66 Can you also Enable Biometrics Unlock after boot?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
What do you mean? Fingerprint unlock is there and is very fast. If you ask me iris scan and face recognition are simply too slow to be useful.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Please be more specific what you are trying to do. What is the exact scenario?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Zentralist:
If I want to call text to language, the message Accessibility App will restart. The same with the services in the input help, if I want to stop something. Only with the two things happens. Otherwise everything will work
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Hanjun:
Hi, foobar66!

Firstly, I really like it Rom and thanks for it sharing. But after I install this Rom, the oem unlock cannot be enabled again in developer option. Could u help me out?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Denis Meissner1990:
He does mean the feature the most roms actually have, with that you can use for example the fingerprint unlock after a reboot without pin

(Normally you have to type the pin for the first time after a reboot)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
Hi, i noticed in settings/display/screen saver when in charge didn't stick, by the way always on display didn't work even if i clean cache of the system app. Any idea?

Of course it's clean install
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
There are plenty of apps on the play store which can do call recording, e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&rdid=com.appstar.callrecorder. Since it is not supported by the google dialer natively you will need to use an app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Screensaver works fine for me ... it shows for example clock or google photos ...

Also AOD works fine.

Do a clean install ...

[MENTION=3463514]foobar66[/MENTION] ,

Noxxx has published a new stable veraion R8 which is based on crd7 and in which he omitted all the changes that had affected the battery life. He also wenrt to stock wifi module.

I suggest you upgrade to r8 in your next build if you don't mind
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
hi foobar66, just for the record: i did an antutu benchmark on v44, with same setup as on v27.

score is just a tiny bit higher than before. ux is significantly higher, but the other scores are a tiny bit lower.

the screenshots also show that antutu scoring is quite random, because before i 'beat' 78% of the users with a cpu score of just over 68k and now i 'beat' 99% with a score just under 68k ;)

anyway. the rom is great and feels snappy overall.

Weird ... I tried a fresh install ... SafetyNet was not working; enabled USB debugging; rebooted; now it suddenly works ...

I rebooted a few times and it is consistently working now ...

Then set USB debugging to off again, reboot, SafetyNet still working ...

Did a clean flash again from scratch ... SafetyNet is not working ...

Reboot ... SafetyNet is working ...

Rebooted 5 times ... SafetyNet is working ...

Reboot 6th time ... SafetyNet is not working ...

Reboot 7th time ... SafetyNet is working ...

So I'm getting a bit of random behavior across reboots. Maybe there is some subtlety in the initialization sequence which causes this.

Nothing fundamentally changed with v45, except for the R8 nox kernel ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] tom13mcpherson:
I read the OP and it says that great S3 works but you don't have a Dev for wear os and you don't have a watch with wear to test on.

I haven't installed this yet but if you talk me through any problems I get in happy to work things out. I'm not a Dev but I know my way around a logcat and ADB.

Great rom, really enjoying it

I just have 1 issue, im trying to get the pixel 2 live wallpapers to works, no luck so far, its showing both in nova and google wallpapers but it wont intall, just telling me "app isn't intalled"

Any fix anyone, thx
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Live wallpapers is not included in the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] drguildo85:

Hi. All is perfect here.

For magisk it's remind me the same issue on Huawei p9 (bluwei rom on xda) safety net didn't pass if you don't activate usb debug and apply a rebooot. Mine is activated by default and didn't noticed any issues with magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Today, I finally found back my chromecast device (it was stuck in a box after move).

I tried it on the ROM with the Google home app setting up the device and all works fine.

I can watch Youtube, Photos, etc on TV now.

Screen cast from the phone also works.

And.....?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mabelisle:
I love it so far! It look just like my pixel that broke a couple weeks ago :) Damn pixel, random hardware issues. Great software though that's why I'm happy now to now have Samsung hardware with google software :P Best of both world! I'm running a SM-G950FD dual sim cards it's even better.

I had a lot of issues installing TWRP an the rom on my phone with the oem wait, the RMM state prenormal and 'Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed'. That was a pain!

Instructions to get out of that:

1- Wait 7 days for oem to show up

2- I installed the last samsung firmware.

3- Downgraded to bootloader to nugat

4- Installed TWRP

5- Installed Googlewiz

6- Rebooted and upgraded BL to oreo.

An couple days of fun to figure out.

A suggestion for [MENTION=3463514]foobar66[/MENTION]. I installed the pixel launcher from "github.com/amirzaidi/launcher3/releases" and it's even better. It brings your device exactly like a Pixel! I suggest you replace nova launcher with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
You had to put "launcher=pixel" in the googlewiz.config file ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mabelisle:
oh lol my bad ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
What ???
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] supersepian:
Tried everything but couldn't get over magisk cts false error. I think , there may be an app causing this error.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
No, an app can't cause this. Either this is an issue in the R8 kernel or some problem with the magisk image.

If you go into Magisk, settings, then tick "Magisk core only mode" then it will work.

But this will disable all scripts in /etc/init.d/ and /etc/services.d/ so there will be other things in the ROM which will no longer work properly.

I will try to contact the kernel developer to see if he knows a workaround.

Bluetooth issues

Hi,

I have bluetooth issues.

connection to my bose earphone is working.

but music is totally stumbled - only fragments in milliseconds what I can hear from spotify.

could you please check?

somebody else having blueetooth issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Richard_10:
Known issue. You should - each time you connect your bose - go to developer options and change the Bluetooth audio codec from AAC to SBC.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Well, Noxxxious confirmed that the Magisk Safetynet check will fail on R8 kernel.

So what options do we have:

1) stick with R8, accept that Safetynet check fails, which means no Google Pay

2) go back to Nox R7 (Safetynet OK, Google pay OK)

3) go to stock kernel (also Safetynet check fails there)

4) use another kernel which supports both S8 and S8+ and keep fingers crossed that Safetynet works

Bye the way: I do not have the impression that battery life has improved in R8. Overnight drain was 6% for me on R8 while I had 4% on R7.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] geekitus:

Install using DualBoot

Thanks for the ROM

I've tried to install the ROM using DualBoot (using it for years). But when I try to install I get this error (see screenshot) [IMG="Screenshot of error"]https://sharex.cadima.io/google-rom-dualboot.jpg[/IMG].

Normally you have to delete a line of code in a file, like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzhEUh_y6Ew - But i don't have that line of code.

Do you have any idea what it can be?

Keviin
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I'm very tempted to go back to Nox kernel R7.

IMHO it has a slightly better battery life.

In addition, I have made some optimizations in v46 to improve doze settings and reduce battery drain.

And it will allow Safetynet to pass and have Google Pay.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Dual boot will not work with this ROM; it is too heavily patched.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Yes ... but ... there is a bug in the ramdisk in v45 ... I fixed it and now safetynet is consistently NOT working ...

So maybe I should leave the bug ;)

Sometimes safetynet may work in v45, sometimes it does not work. I don't know why.

No serious, I will go back to R7 ... it is better in terms of performance and battery and in v46 there will be some additional battery optimizations.

I know that Noxxx is working on the kernel so there will be new releases later.

v46 (2018-05-13):

- Update: Nova launcher

- Improved doze settings

- Reduce battery drain while sleeping

- Remove oculus certificate

- Remove finder permissions

- Remove personalpage secure storage

- Remove security log agent secure storage

- Remove slocation libraries

- Remove smartcard framework files

- Remove ant framework files

- Remove unneeded binaries in system/bin

- Enable Camera2API in build.prop

- Fix lack of voice in the Google app when reading answers to a search

- New: Google chromecast (aka Google home)

- Added bashrc and bash_aliases in /etc/bash; use bash shell when you type "su"

- Revert back to Nox kernel R7

- Possibility to turn logcat off

- Added /etc/hosts.medium file (same as used by AdAway)

Google chromecast is NOT installed by default. To install it, put "chromecast=1" in the googlewiz.config file.

You can dirty flash, but to benefit from the battery improvements you must do (before flashing the ROM):

> adb shell

$ su

% rm /data/LS00settings.touch

% sync

% reboot

A clean flash will also do the trick.

If you put "logcat=0" in the googlewiz.config file then logging is OFF and you will NOT have a logcat. This makes the ROM a tiny fraction faster and is useful for people who do not look at logcats. You can still enable logging manually by doing:

> adb shell

$ su

% start logd

If you want to use the same hosts file as used by AdAway without installing the Adaway app, do:

> adb shell

$ su

% sysrw

% hm

Filing the tread. I remember people asking why no new kernel asap, then complain why gpay don't work... At least help the dev and check the new kernel for the features you use, if you can't do it do not ask new features asap. Use the free stuff and do not ETA all the time

I will remain in the R8 build. The battery gains are huge at least for me. I think it is almost the double of time with the same usage. I think its pretty impressive. No problems with safetyNet either. But hey my opinion here. :) (I clean install from r7 to r8).
