I've used a couple of roms so far and I have to say this one is by far the best. That said I have to agree with above regarding mediocre to poor (standby) battery life. Being on the stock rom I sometimes managed to get 7+ hours of SOT coupled with decent standby drain. However, with this rom I barely get 3,5h of SOT and standby drain is noticeably worse than on stock. I've tried clean flashing a couple of times and also Greenify, but it still doesn't feel satisfactory. I will still stay on this rom though, it's just so clean and fluent. Good work and thank you ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Richard_10:
That's the issue here; with so much debloating, it doesn't make sens too have a worse experience in terms of battery life; It should be noticeably longer. Either some wakelocks burried deep into touchwizz are still unknown to devs or (maybe and) the kernel is poor.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Noxxxious:
Poor kernel..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] LeoMiami:
S8+ i do not have the battery problem, i go 1 full day 4 hour sot 100 apps installed and only 500 meg of free ram, the phone is LOADED, and i can go 1 full day no games. may be you are gaming? no phone can game and go 1 full day.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Back on the stock kernel since yesterday evening; well I can say one thing: stock is SLOWER than NX ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
So if people want to try the stock kernel, do the following:

- unzip the ROM file

- push all files in the directory "extra" to your sdcard

- push "root/Magisk.zip" to your sdcard

- take a standard boot.img file with the stock kernel and push to sdcard

> adb shell

$ su

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

# reboot recovery

- now you are in TWRP, just flash the file /sdcard/Magisk.zip

Reboot and you should be on stock kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Richard_10:
Our comments were in regards to battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Puremin0rez:
NX Kernel is better in every way than stock in my experience. Not having any battery issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:
I'm with you on this. I've tried all I could to get the gear s3 working and no dice. If anyone gets this up and running you'll be my hero.

I can understand the devs position on this as he's unable to test it due to not having a the device, so no worries.

Would love to try this rom though!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
performance and battery life are related 1:1.

so yes, battery life on stock might be better (might, because i don't notice a difference), but it'll cost you speed and smoothness. your choice :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zoltain73:
I did manage to get the S3 connected, with build prop I edited the brand and manufacturer from samsung to google, no gear s has stopped thus far...

In addition I copied all the files mentioned by foobar66 in my initial request, pg 96 with root explorer to the directories indicated by foobar66.

Add to the ROM:

/system/app/GearManagerStub/

/system/priv-app/Gear360Editor_WQHD_Star/

/system/app/GameOptimizer/

/system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-com.sec.android.mimage.gear360editor.xml

/system/etc/permissions/sagearpolicymanager.xml
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Great, good stuff. Can you please attach your build.prop? I will consider to include it as optional in next release through the googlewiz.config file.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:
I would love you forever if you did this otherwise I'll go the manual way :)

Most credit must go to foobar66 without his guidance it would have been impossible.

Hi,

Attach hereto are the files I already extracted that must be copied to the directories by ways of file explorer or a similar app.

For the Gear lovers ... attached to this post there is now a flashable package to add Gear to the ROM.

Just flash it after you flashed the ROM; and reboot.

Please let me know if this works or not !

I do not own a Gear device so I can not test it !!!

v42 (2018-05-03):

- Update: Google play store

- Update: Google contacts

- Update: Message background service

- Update: Samsung camera

- hosts.long file updated for adblocking (fixed malfunctioning facebook app)

- Remove dual speaker mod (did not work on last v40 release)

- New: Gear S3 (separate package to flash after flashing the ROM)

- New: configurable BIXBY key

By default, the BIXBY ket is set to HOME. That is the nova launcher home screen. You can put a line in googlewiz.config:

"bixby=X" with X being one off {HOME, BACK, CAMERA, CONTACTS, MESSAGE, CALL, SEARCH, CALENDAR, APP_SWITCH}

example: "bixby=CAMERA" or "bixby=CALENDAR"

HOME = Nova launcher home screen
BACK = go one step back (same as back key in navbar)
CAMERA = open camera; one in the camera pressing the bixby key takes a picture
CONTACTS = open Google Contacts app
MESSAGE = open Google Messaging app
CALL = open Google Phone app
SEARCH = perform search in the current application
CALENDAR = open Google Calendar
APP_SWITCH = open screen where you can switch between running apps (same as "recents" key in navbar)

Thanks for the above. It doesn't seem to work with my ticwatch when setting up on wear os app it's simply not visible, yet is visible on Bluetooth. Any help would be appreciated. Love this rom despite being a newcomer to it!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] beerente:
It is only for Gear S3, not Android Wear. Would like to see that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Correct ... Gear S3.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Andrunya:
If this rom gets autocall recording it will be the best rom for me till s10.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
foobar don't mess with your kernel.

suggest you to let customers in diy with a third party app (kernel audiothor etc...)

Don't go away from your initial project. Do the rom as your want.

(I see improvements in v 42) seems to be kernel relative. wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Alexior:
It works even with gear s2 or only s3? If yes I can try that
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] embreak:
It is working with the S3.

The only problem for me was, Shealth didn't work

The error was something like, shealth can't be started on a compromised device.

OK, easy enough ... next release.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zoltain73:
HI foobar66

Yes the gear manager does work, I once again successfully paired my gear S3 Frontier with my phone and everything is working. Only issue I did picked up is that certain watchfaces and applications I bought over galaxy apps is not restored as I require a Samsung account to re-download them but all stock gear apps are there and working 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
SHealth should work out of the box on the ROM; just download from play store.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zoltain73:
Can confirm I merely downloaded SHealth from the store and it worked even synced data from gear s3
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] embreak:
I don't know what the problem was, did a clean flash + the gear zip and I got the error that my device is hacked/compromised.

Tomorrow I gonna make a new clean flash and look if the problem still remain.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] zoltain73:
HI

Edit these 2 lines with build prop editor and save:

ro. product. brand=google

ro. product. manufacturer=google

Reboot your device and uninstall:

Gear S Plugin

Samsung Accessory Service

Samsung Gear

Samsung Health

Then install Samsung Gear from play store and follow the normal process in pairing your device and gear S3.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:
Wouldn't you be able to download the galaxy store as an apk and use it like that?

Guys, very sorry, but there is a mistake in the package gear.zip in post (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76412043&postcount=1102).

It has an incorrect build.prop file in it ...

Sorry for this; I will fix it tonight.

That is why - after flashing - Samsung Health is not working ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
congrats foobar66, the rom is getting better and better and with the gear.zip you even reach a broader audience. i don't use gear, but i can imagine it is a must for some ;)

i think the next step into adulthood for the rom is to incorporate volte somehow. i know your standing on this point, so i'm hoping for some other dev to help out. i already tried my best myself, but i couldn't get it to work properly. i had all the shortcuts and settings and the volte quick tile toggle in place, but in the end it just didn't work. kept switching to 3G during calls...

any more feedback on stock kernel compared to nx?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Fixed ... see https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76412043&postcount=1102

Just reflash the package and it should fix SHealth not working.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I will do 1 more measurement tonight to see how much it drains overnight on lockscreen with wifi off.

Will let you know tomorrow.

Anyway ... stock kernel is slower ... no objective measurement but you can just feel it and see it (e.g. launching apps).
