v32 (2018-04-08):

- Update: Device management

- Update: OmaCP

- Update: Camera

- New: Google cloud print included by default in ROM

- Added night mode to camera

- Turn off swap by default

I have noted that I have Google lens in the photos app. However, your language must set to "English" for it to work.

EDIT: read this: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/7539151?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en

LOL ... Google lens recognized the aliens in my garden ;) ... see screenshot.

VoIP is not supported through the dialer AFAIK. Try Google Duo from the play store. Or whatsapp.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
You are awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
As the ROM supports now S8+ I have asked the moderator to move the thread to the section "SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 & S8+ CROSS DEVICE DEVELOPMENT".

Thread moved.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
For the new users welcome to the best ROM for S8 and S8+. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] JulietteOnXDA:
Love this rom. I seem to have a curios issue where the settings app crashes when I attempt to open Text to Speech within the accessibility section. Also causes a crash when I attempt to enable the 1Password accessibility service. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] side_flip15:
You need to install google tts as system app. /system/app
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Added poll in ¦OP¦.

Would you like to have more Google apps standard in the ROM? (Chrome, Drive, Translate, Google+)

Please vote in ¦OP¦
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
for me personally: nah.

i do use more google features than that are included in the rom, but i'd rather install them seperately than that i get lots of apps pre-installed that i don't use :)

IF i had to choose, i would say:

-chrome

-gmail

-maps

-tts

(and Adaway to have more control over hosts :p)

cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dr460nf1r3:
Tts and Chrome for me
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Andrunya:
Yes. TTS is useful thing
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] InteliDroid:
Has anyone tried this on the Note 8 (N950F), this looks like an awesome rom with no bloatware and something I'd like!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
Tts the rest no. I dont use Chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Puremin0rez:
I vote for keeping it as minimal as possible IMO - that's the real charm of this ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
Yeah. Fast updates and clean as possible = best rom. Maybe add the tts because of the crash in settings that is unecessery.

The rest is realy good.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] abaggie:
Great ROM, it feels a lot faster than the stock rom, however, I do have an issue with Google Keyboard (and Chrome). Sometimes when I tap the address bar the keyboard doesn't pop-up and after that the whole system becomes laggy and unresponsive. I can't figure out why. I also feel like the battery is draining faster than it should, radio seems like one of the culprits, but this needs more analysis.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] deepak8151:
Hi Dev,

First of all thanks a lot for creating such an amazing rom. I just installed it and it is working like a charm.

I have one major issue. I am from India and few networks are using VOLTE network type like Reliance Jio. Although, I am getting the internet connectivity. But, I am not able to call or message anyone. VOLTE signal is also not coming.

Will you be able to help me on this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mbar64:
Take this google asistent and google app out again. Pure rom is better we can install what we like.

Thanks for this super rom again ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
Yeah Google keyboard is bad. Very bad. I use swift key.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sevsman:
Would you mind giving some examples of how gboard is very bad?

It's probably the most used keyboard there is!

Regards

Nathan
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
VOLTE is currently not supported; I need to look into this in more detail as much of the configuration is CSC related. The ROM does not support multiple CSC. All settings are generic.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Hmm ... fair point ... I personally do not use Google Assistant either as you have to set the language to English (mine is Dutch).

Google app I think is useful as it provides the Google Now cards and also integrates with the Nova search bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Well ... I obviously use this ROM day in and day out ... I have so far never experienced the types of lags which you mention. Try a clean install.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
It dosent get the basics. Cant predict my words. Often with swipe writtes the wrong word. And drains battery. I don't have any of this issues with swift key. After I install this ROM i have too install swift key. It is a must. Best keyboard for me at least.

Google App and Google Assit are usefull apps. I use google assist a lot. I can understand why non english ppl dont use it. But in us or uk its a must have too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
i always kept the google app for screen search (now on tap) and song recognition. since about a year song recognition is terrible (shazam is 1000 times better and faster) and they f***ed up now on tap. screen search just doesn't work properly and/or easily anymore with google assistant.

so i don't have any need for the google app anymore. i can see it's useful for english people, but for other languages it's just a bloated app :p
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Many different opinions ... I will take a look at making the installation aroma based; then people can select which apps they would like to have included in the ROM. I don't have experience with aroma but from what I have read so far it does not look very complicated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sevsman:
I don't notice any battery drain and swipe works fine for me, however I'm willing to try and save battery wherever I can, so I'll try it out!

Cheers mate

Nathan
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] toxic_garden:
i'd say this is more of a chrome bug. I also experienced this behavior the last days, but every other app is working perfectly fine with GBoard. When it happens, it doesn't even when i close Chrome completely (from the task list), i have to restart the phone in order to come back properly. But just for comparsion, i could also try using swype again, which i used many years before.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
true. that's why you're better of by either:

-making a rom 100% to your liking and let other people decide if they want to use it.

-making a base rom that is completely trimmed down, so people can add what they want from play store.

ofcourse, aroma would be the most community-friendly, but it costs a lot of time maintaining all the apps and options :p
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] xtmzone:
Maybe if you can in the aroma to add and some tweaks / modes! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
OK, I have an installer working with aroma, a basic aroma theme, options to remove Google apps.

Now I just have to modify the updater-script to take into account the options selected in aroma.

Google dialer, contacts, messaging, gboard, photos will remain in the ROM.

Google agenda, clock, calculator, files, assistant, printing, search, ... will be optional.

Later the optional list can be extended with Chrome, Drive, ...

That's my current thinking.

But ... that will be for Wednesday ... no time tomorrow evening.

Which tweaks were you referring to? I hope no Samsung tweaks ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Andrunya:
I need

1) Back to kill

2) Center clock

3) Black theme by default

4) Automatic call recorder
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] hugoglezp:
5) smart view
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sevsman:
6.. please :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
Humm you are building blotware for nothing.. I prefer the simple way that is been the way until now. With no aroma a small file zip and a quick flash.

When you had options everyone will want everything. Even Samsung tweaks..

Stay simple quick and small.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
a few weeks back i tried to change foobar66's mind as well (in adding stuff to the rom), but now i'm 100% with you (/him). this rom is truly different from all the others in concept and execution. i love it. if you add aroma, it's more like most other roms here.

but hey, it's foobar66's work, so he decides. and i now have enough knowledge to edit his base to my needs anyway :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] xtmzone:
Tweaks like :

* Center clock ( with seconds ).

* Remove non-removable notifications;

* Remove sound warning;

* Remove bright warning;

* Posibility to make the navbar smaller;

* LTE instead of 4g

* Outdoor Mode Option to Display Settings

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Nope ... most of these require tweaking of the framework-res.apk ... too much hassle ...

If you want LTE displayed instead of 4G, edit the floating-features.xml

Look at this thread for some of the other stuff: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/themes/mods-small-collection-tweaks-t3657118
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Use substratum; see ¦OP¦. You can have full black (not by default though).

See picture attached to ¦OP¦ ... black ones are from my phone.

Some people like white ... others like black ...

Default full black is nearly impossible. Substratum compiles the overlays on the fly and they need recompilation for some apps if the version changes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Hmm ... you do have a point there ... Aroma is just going to lead to more requests "can you add A or B or C".

I do appreciate that people may not like all of the Google apps (e.g. Assistant).

I could also do something very simple. Put a simple 'googlewiz.config' file on /sdcard, e.g.

assistant=0
clock=1
agenda=0
search=1
print=0
devicemaintenance=1

During install, I could read this file and then leave out what people do not want. If the file is missing from /sdcard the install would just take everything. Let me know what you guys think about this. Simple enough, avoids aroma and gives people a bit of choice
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ZecaEdge:
Do as you did until now. Dont give choices . Update the apps kernel and security updates . Add want you want like you did witg files go. Just stay the same. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Flutoah:
I really like that idea. Because i personaly like my ROM's as slim as possible and i don't like most of google's stuff. The only reason im using this ROM ist because i think its the only stable one out there (for the S8) and I like you as a developer who interacts with his fanbase.

So, be open for changes and keep Rocking!

Greetings from Germany
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Enrico0815:
Can you add Google Apps like the Go version of Google Assistant?

Because they are using less Storage and RAM.

Or just replacing some of them.

Some of those apps I recommend:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...-way-to-search-1-5-190918657-release-release/

Google Go

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...go/google-assistant-go-1-3-182436581-release/

Google Assistant Go

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.mapslite&hl=de

Maps Go

Gosh its a S8 not a Moto G2 xD No need to downgrade the services xD
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Enrico0815:
i mean if it can boost the speed, why not?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] guastucci:
Man, must say: WTF INCREDIBLE JOB!! Huge congrats for this rom... Never seen nothing like this in terms of debloat. Even XtreStoLite... For who wants to add some Samsung stuff (like me, loves edge panel) you may use an aroma script made by the genius Orel Madmon to restore Samsung features. I did it and works fine..

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] geekitus:

Hi there!

I've a problem with the notification, the text of the notifications is cut of at the bottum, I've provided a screenshot as well. I've tried adjusting the zoom level, adjusting the font size and changing the dpi. Nothing helped. Do somebody know a fix?

Thx in advance

-edit-

Notifications seem way too big as well.

Running on s8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] geekitus:
Hi,

I don't know if it s a.rom problem but moving a photo from an album on the SDcard to another album on the SDcard take 20seconds in Google photo (very annoying).

I see on the log some reading permission denied.. don't know why because Google photo can read / write / modify photos on the SDcard.

Any idea ?

Sorry to waste your time if it s not a rom problem...

Thanks in advance,

Sebastien.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mbar64:
I have the same taking long time ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
i think your (substratum?) theme is causing it. nothing in your screenshot looks default ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:
Can I just ask what the aroma script is? Would love to try this rom but unfortunately the lack of gear s3 support discourages me!

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Jensonah:
Thx man, it's probably that! I will look into it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sportfreund:
I'm talking about the native SIP support which the Google Caller app is using (SIP as an RFC 3261 protocol), not the proprietary voip function of some other app. The main advantage using the google caller app for sip is the fact that it doesn't consume such much battery like the 3rd party apps (zoiper etc) do.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] igalmarino:

Hi the dual speaker mod is enabled by default. Any chance this could damage the earpiece ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] side_flip15:
you should install google tts as system app else it won't work.

I manually put GoogleTTS.apk to /system/app/GoogleTTS

then set proper permission

GoogleTTS folder : rwxr-xr-x

GoogleTTS.apk : rw-r-r-

reboot
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Yes, TTS will be part of next release (tonight).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Hmm ... I have the same problem ... I get a dialog asking to give Google Photos permission to the SD card, but even when I say "Grant" there is an message which says "Access denied".

I will see if I can add the permission to the XML files. However, this may be due to the fact that the app is signed with Google key and not with the native Samsung key.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] side_flip15:
I surprisingly don't have this issue. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:
is that just for the s8+?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
That is very weird ... which version? Did you do a clean install?

Can you explain exactly what sequence of actions you do?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] side_flip15:
I flashed v32 over v31.

Tried moving 1 photo. grant sd permission and it moved. Then I tried moving several photos, still works. doesn't took long
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] danne74:
Super cool ROM, hats off!

I'm on 8+, v32 after full wipe. The only issue encountered so far is the mentioned Bluetooth problem.

Is there any way to set the Bluetooth codec to SBC permanently? It's a bit annoying having to change it every time a device is connected.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:
Quick question. Coming from an oreo rom (renovate ice) would I still need to flash the oreo bootloader?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Jensonah:
Nope, I came from renovate as well and I didn't need to flash the bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] fabianocannizzo:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:

How would you rate this rom? Good?

No , it won't

Saludos desde Escazú ! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Jensonah:
It's great if you like (pixel) software without bloat. If you like the samsung stuf you shouldnt take this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Why don't you make a backup, install the ROM and judge for yourself?

Different people have different needs and expectations.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:
Yeha the only Samsung software I use is health and the gear connection stuff so this would be perfect if I could use an installer for those two apps (still waiting for clarification if the aroma package mentioned above works for the s8 too).

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

I will. Id rather have a light os than a lot of bloat so your rom sounds exactly what I need. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
SHealth you can install from the play store.

Gear is not in the ROM; can be added of course but I am personally not going to do that.

Please have a look at the script attached to ¦OP¦. You can see from that script everything which has been deleted. You will need the APKs for Gear and also possibly some of the other config files which I have removed (e.g. permission XMLs). As I do not have a Gear device I am not in a position to check anything unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Probably ... I will take a look ... I'm hoping it can be done via an init.d script.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I will take a look ... just guessing the sound file is missing. That should be easy to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:
No worries. I'll do some investigation and see what can be done. Dying to try this rom but need to be sure my watch will also work with it.

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ebautista:
Almost perfect for me. The only reason I went back to ambasadii is because of the dual messenger. This would be may daily rom if it is being added. Once it is added, j will shift to this rom. Great work!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] guastucci:
Think not.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I used XtreStoLite on the S6. Was a very good ROM.

My target was to get rid of all Samsung stuff (most which I never used) and make something which is close to a Pixel/AOSP experience.

Adding stuff unfortunately is not always easy ... it's not only the APKs which are removed but also a lot of the config files, some binaries, some background processes.

Usually what I do to figure out something is first removed the APKs, just add the APK for the functionality (e.g. Gear); then step by step removed the other files (see script in ¦OP¦) until the functionality breaks.

There is also stuff in feature.xml and floating-feature.xml which is disabled which may require re-enabling.

So ... you could say ... don't buy an S8 ... buy a pixel or a One+ ... but the Samsung screens are so bloody good !!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
If you figure it out, please share ... other people have asked for it. The biggest thing for me is that I don't have a watch ... so I can't try anything. So I am a bit in the blind.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] M3th0s:
The link shared by [MENTION=4249962]guastucci[/MENTION] seems to be what you're looking for. Have just downloaded it and checked it in recovery mode and seems to have most, if not all the Samsung apps. Ive also tried searching for a thread referring this developer / modder (orel madmon?) but didn't find anything. If [MENTION=4249962]guastucci[/MENTION] could shed more light on this or if there is an official xda thread that would be great!

missing in every version of the ROM installed by me. it does not work to reinstall the keyboard from the PlayStore
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
just drop the apk in system/app before installation (or push it with a file explorer now) and you're good to go!

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

that's weird, the 'common'/known problem in oreo is that it always defaults to SBC. so you have to set other codecs manually all the time. mine does that as well. you should be happy that yours doesn't! :)

lol, people that use keyboard with sound on (in public) should be banned ;)
