That's weird; I also have a G950F and I don't have this.

During the first install some settings are applied (see /system/etc/services.d/LS99settingsonce), maybe it is related to one of these ...

$CMD settings put global display_size_forced 1440,2960

$CMD settings put system screen_mode_automatic_setting 0

$CMD settings put system screen_mode_setting 2

$CMD settings put secure default_display_density_forced 640

$CMD settings put secure default_display_size_forced 1440,2960

[MENTION=3463514]foobar66[/MENTION]: the option to hide navbar is already in stock rom. how does the mod/tweak differ from the stock behaviour? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Really? Oh **** ... I did not know that ;) ... where do you find this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] reynaldi3:
I use the same theme you refer here. But now the icons set of status bar button, and nav bar, reverted back to original. I already have complete black in most apps I use. But the icon?

Do I miss something here? Need advice. Thanks a bunch man

Edit: i think whenever I don't open subratum, it stays this way
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Andrunya:
Dear foobar66. Magisk 16.4 went out. Please include it in next release
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
are you serious or just pulling my leg? :p

anyway, it's the toggle right at the top at navbar-settings. when selected you get a little dot on the navbar (see screenshot). when you double tap the dot, the navbar will auto-hide. when you double tap again, it will stay visible all the time... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Reboot and all will be fine.

When you open substratum, for some reason the overlays in the ROM get disabled.

If you reboot after having used substratum, they will come back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
No I was serious ... never paid any attention really to this option ...

OK, so you can choose to hide it with this. According to the text it says the navbar will be always visible on the launcher.

That is not the case with the ROM mod.

Hi

Settings /screen setting and security...

App shortcuts menu is broken it causes fc. Unable to change camera or add shortcut on lockscreen.

Edit : no shortcut on lockscreen problem solved :)

Tap to wake has gone imo. Can't wake the phone animore touching the screen like prev version.

Did not notice any change otherwise it works flawlessly. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
there was never an option for tap to wake. or did i miss something? :p
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] reynaldi3:
I tried your suggestion, but the original icons keep coming back. You mentioned about you disabled substratum after you installed the overlay. Will that work on me?

Hi, I have also the issue with a non working phone app on v40. Can make calls, but no audio. Did not update the phone app.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Try disabling substratum (or just remove the substratum app) and then reboot; the icons should be there then. If not, then you have some strange condition.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
That is now "off" by default. AOD screen has no start button any more by default. You can reactivate it in the Always-On-Display settings.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Correct ... there is a bug in the last release ... will be fixed in next release ...

If you want to fix it yourself for now do:

> adb shell

$ settings put system lock_application_shortcut "0;com.google.android.contacts/com.android.dialer.DialtactsActivity;0;com.sec.android.app.camera/com.sec.android.app.camera.Camera;"

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
"the issue" ... What issue are you referring to exactly? Did you do a clean install or dirty flash? If you did a dirty flash what was the previous release?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] beerente:
Sorry for being unclear, but the 'issue' was the phone app not able to make phone calls, eg no audio (both ways) when answered or dialing out. I searched the thread and saw update errors around the phone app. That is what I related to, but probably not a relevant comparison (play store update of phone app).

I have a G950F and switched ROM yesterday. I came from Renovate Oreo, CRD7 firmware, wiped all (no data format) and did a clean install. Struggled a bit with the config file, but managed that with the right setting in Notepad++. ROM installed fine and is so smooth, I would like to continue to use it.

But only until this morning I found out I couldnt call and had to switch to Renovate again. Did a light install and will try GoogleWiz v40 tonight again.

You see any flaws in my procedure?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
That looks like a correct installation procedure. The play store does not update the phone app because it has my own signature on it.

So it really should work fine out of the box when doing clean install. Make a backup, wipe system/data/dalvik/cache and install again ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] beerente:
Just finished, but exactly the same result. Trying to make a logcat .. in the tutorial right now ..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
is the dialer set as default? the script may not work properly on your phone (?)

go to settings - apps - 3 dot menu - default apps and set google dialer as default.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] beerente:
It is there is no other dailer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Boys and girls ... did you think that the ROM was fast ? ... Yes ?

Can it go faster ... Yes, we can !

I won't tell you the secret yet ... be patient ... release tomorrow ... wait ... it's "labour day" tomorrow ... people are not supposed to work on labour day ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] beerente:
Correct. Also not on the headphones. And the volume rocker is not working either. I have a logcat, interested? How to get it to you?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I saw your link with the logcat; when I click on it it says "oeps ... we konden je bestanden niet vinden".

Use pastebin and send me the URL.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
i hope you're talking about kernel/hardware tweaks and not about software 'tweaks/mods' ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Usually I'm not a great fan of benchmarking ... but I ran Antutu before and after. See screenshots.

Honestly speaking ... I can almost not believe this (which is why I hate these benchmark programs).

A jump from 179K to 203K ... that is +13% ...

But it just feels sooooo much faster ...

Anyway ... you will just have to wait for the next release and try yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
i don't want to ruin your party and i hope you really got something there, but judging from the screenshots, you ran the one with the lower score right after the one with the higher score. that means the cores might still have been warm, causing lower scores ;)

if you had run one more test after that, it would have probably given even lower scores.

or if you would run a test with the unit in the freezer, you might just be able to get higher scores :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] onlyfordownloads:
What a coincidence. I did compete with my friend's iPhone 7+ today. We did AnTuTu as well. He scored with 160k and I scored with exactly 203k. I don't know why but can it really get faster for me right now? I also am using V40. Am hyped though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
[MENTION=3463514]foobar66[/MENTION]: if you did the 200k test without any special actions, then it certainly is a good score!

i can beat it (see pic), but i:

-closed all running apps

-cleared cache/memory

-disabled data, wifi, bluetooth, gps

-rebooted phone

-put phone in fridge

-ran ubuntu

this method might give you 10k-50k extra on any 'normal' condition test. if you didn't do any of the above, try again and maybe you even top 210k! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] beerente:

Kernel

Hi guys! It would be a problem if I flash the stock kernel on this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Enrico0815:
Foobar i've clean installed the rom and if i go to app shortcut it crashes.

UPDATE

fixed by dirty flashing it again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] side_flip15:
I had the same issue yesterday. Dirty flash from v39. No sounds at all system wide. I can't even listen to music. Clean flash v40, same issue.

Removing dual speaker mod from config then clean flash does the trick for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
This was already posted + the solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Well, the phone had been on all day already; no special action taken; wifi on; reboot; run the antutu.

So the test was ran more or less in the same condition.

At the end it doesn't matter, judge for yourself when the release comes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Hmm ... interesting ... I personally never use the dual speaker mod.

I tried:

a) clean install with "dualspeakermod=0" => OK

b) clean install with "dualspeakermod=1" => NOT OK

So the dual speak mod seems to be the problem.

[MENTION=2492007]beerente[/MENTION] ... can you please try again with "dualspeakermod=0" ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Why do you want to do that? NX kernel is better, faster, ...

If you flash the stock kernel the ROM will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zoltain73:
I really would love to use this rom, but I cannot without my gear s3 frontier. Anybody managed to figure out since my first post how to resolve the pairing error, gear s plugin has stopped. I will be ever grateful to you.

v41 (2018-05-01):

- Update: Magisk manager

- Update: Google app

- Fix camera auto focus

- Fix bug related to app shortcuts on lock screen causing FC

- The magic performance trick (will explain later)

Let me know some feedback about performance. If you think there is a difference, I will explain what I did.

It's actually a bug fix ... it's been in the release since v32 ... it was just not working.

Dirty flash is OK (reminder to put "dualspeakermod=0" ...).

Using an Android Wear Emulator on PC and connect over adb (adb -d forward tcp:5601 tcp:5601)? It's been a while when I used it (<3 years ago), not sure if that can work. But I assume, quite some work for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
i will probably flash it tonight. might be able to report back a bit tomorrow.

i'm really curious about what you did exactly, though ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
First try ... if you think it is faster, I will explain what I did ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] buzzboy:
GoogleWiz was damn fast to begin with. V41 does indeed seem even snappier.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
My feeling as well ... ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
ah, i figured out what you did, i think ;)

should give a performance boost that is indeed noticable. cheers to you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] surfsyco:
Not sure if it's been mentioned before but the search bar in settings isn't centered in v4.1 (hadn't noticed it in previous versions) maybe it's supposed to be like that?...dunno.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
Works well here for the moment.

Didn't notice any change cause the rom is always fast
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] nils_92:
How long should the first boot take max? I'm on renovate now and tried flashing this rom but it seems like it's not booting just running the boot animation for 10 mins or so
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
2 minutes (or less). What device? What version? Did you do clean flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] nils_92:
S8 and v41 I did not wipe data in the hope not to setup everything again I think this is my issue. Any advice on how to preserve the data partition? Now on a running Reno rom with all my stuff.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
That will NOT work ... if you come from another ROM you MUST clean data.

Backup using TitaniumBackup first. Once you went through the initial install of the ROM you can restore from Titanium.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kushmanek:
plz can u make volte work? i knw atleast 3-4 people who r dying to use this rom but we all have volte enabled sim so tahts holding us back ! ":(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
No ... sorry ... not for now ... my provider does not support VoLTE ... which means that I cannot test anything.

In addition, VoLTE is CSC specific configuration and all CSC config has been currently removed from the ROM.

It is tricky to bring this back into the ROM ... especially if I cannot test anything.

If there is a DEV willing to help I can explain what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Preview: next release will have BIXBY key wich can be changed.

You will be able to change it to HOME, BACK, CAMERA, CONTACTS, MESSAGE, CALL, SEARCH, CALENDAR, APP_SWITCH

Just got this working ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] icke:
What exactly is meant to be getting faster? Flashed v41 and do not see any improvements. What do u improved regarding speedness? Animation....loading apps...readind or writing on storage? Tell me please. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Samsung uses a memory partition as swap device; v41 disables this as it is pretty useless; why give up a few hundred megs of good RAM just to allow swapping of apps onto the same RAM memory? This does not make sense on high end devices. On the contrary, it slows down things.

Read this: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-swap-torpedo-run-faster-reliably-t3766883

I have disabled the swap in the kernel ramdisk. Was already supposed to be disabled since v32 but the way I did it there did not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] icke:
How to force a dev to lay down all his cards with just a single question...:D

I never said it was a secret ;) ... I believe there is a very small improvement ... let's see what happens when more people install v41 and use it a couple of days.

Dear foobar66, many thanks for your willingness it is much appreciated. I found a thread, "How to get work the Gear S3 on unsupported android devices with Gear App ->SOLVED!", the developer is kajos. I am trying to get hold of him in order to see whether the two of you can cook up the solution for the gear s3 frontier to work with your awesome rom. I don't know if you might know him, kajos?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Richard_10:
Hi dev,

Are you still using noxxx kernel ?

Is there any possibility to stay on a much simpler modified stock kernel. I do have a negative experience with noxxx.

Thanks for your consideration.

Since Noxx has it's own thread, users can still flash it on their own.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Yes, still on the NX kernel.

Can't change to stock kernel because it does not support both S8 and S8+.

What's your "negative" experience?

The ROM is on this kernel now for more than 1 month and nobody has any complaint until now.

Flashing another kernel on top of my ROM will not work as my ROM has a patched kernel ramdisk.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Install another ROM and check if the problem occurs there as well ... if they do then maybe a hardware issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Richard_10:
Your rom is impeccable I must confess.

But the kernel is very poor in terms of battery life. standby time is a joke, sot is poor. I clean flashed many times following your rom updates, so it's not an isolated issue.

Anyway that's your rom ofc I cannot firce you to change kernel. But I express my honest experience of more than 2 months with that kernel. And it's poor when compared to stock kernel (stock rom) any every possible way, especially battery life. If it wasn't for your rom that I love, I would've gone back to stock.
