The ROM install does NOT upgrade your modem ... you can do yourself ... assuming that you have a modem file:

> adb push modem.bin

> adb shell

$ su

# dd if=/sdcard/modem/bin of=/dev/block/platform/11120000.ufs/by-name/RADIO

# reboot

Links dont works , they are broken
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
I tried without success. I'm not a dev. Some files are difficult to replace cause of lack of folders etc.

Thanks anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Corrected ... thanks for signalling ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kuduku:
they work fine

All are part of system folder . Its simply adding and replacing files . Mostly adding ......
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
I'm stucked in system/omc, the only folder i don't find in rom/system

I put it in System.

Installing the rom, but didn't notice any change, nor icons in status bar.

hi foobar66, i was just wondering if you're still 'working' on the rom. and then i mean stuff besides the usual updates in apps and base. is the 'cleaning out' of sumsung stuff finished, are you working on other stuff / optimizations, etc? just wondering :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Journyman16:
How much of a Restore did you do? It seems strange that this would happen - I've done a few Restores as I have played with things and not seen anything like this.

Maybe try doing the Restore again over the top?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] DennisPater:
It happend to me to.

I make a nandroid in TWRP recovery.

When I restored it, I was get the first setup screen. But it knows my email and wifi. My apps where still there. But some setting was change back.

But I thought it was normal. My first nandroid :angel:

I need to make a new one and will recover it short time after that. I'm testing something.

So I give you all an update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sonosam:
Been using this ROM for some time now and the only thing that's bothered me is wifi never stays awake during sleep regardless of the setting in advanced wifi settings. Is there something I don't know about getting wifi to stay on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Thank You very much, it worked perfect!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Hi, I've added volte files to v82, can I dirty flash it? To be more specific :

I have unpacked v82 and volte files put volte into v82 (replaceing doubled files) and pack it back together into v82 zip. Is that the way it should be done?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Fundamentally, there are very little possibilities to further debloat the ROM without impact on functionality.

Also in terms of "optimizations" I can't do much more than what is there today.

Next release contains a few further optimization tweaks but you will not see dramatic difference.

[MENTION=4587002]Noxxxious[/MENTION] is still building different versions of the kernel to optimize various things ... they will get integrated when they officially come available.

I am still looking at battery life ... overnight drain can be improved but that might come at the expense of adding Sammy stuff again which I don't like to do.

So future will be mainly about:

- Google app updates

- New kernel versions

- New magisk versions

- Rebases to latest security patches (usually 1x/month)

When Sammy comes with Android P then of course all needs to be checked from scratch. Not sure how much impact that will have. I don't think there is even an ETA from Samsung.

Android wear is being checked with [MENTION=9355909]DennisPater[/MENTION] ... in progress ...

For VoLTE there is at least a partial solution which seems to work for some people ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Actually, this has happened to me as well. Full TWRP backup; then restore and then the settings of many apps are lost ... I have a Titanium backup as well so that is not a really big problem. I still have not been able to figure out why this is happening.

Which TWRP version are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Barthlon:
awesome, thanks! i guess s10 will be here before we get p on this device. so.. this is almost as good as it gets. for the s8 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
I would like to share a MOD which disables high volume warning. It's created by _alexndr. I have tested it, and it seems to work fine with GoogleWiz. Of course if it's possible I would like foobar66 to confirm if it's OK or not to use it.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056028848
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Well, the zip file contains a deodexed SystemUI and the ROM contains an odexed SystemUI.

I guess that may potentially lead to some problem; however ... if it works for you ... the better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Robi13:
As the new new gear.zip does not seem to work, the question still stands :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
OK ... I flashed the latest TWRP 3.2.3-1; did a full backup; then restored data; then reboot ... all is OK now ... so flashing the TWRP seems to have helped for me ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Is there finally official TWRP for S8 OREO or is it modified one?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I flashed:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] DennisPater:
I installed it by using the app.

I hope I can test it tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Ok, I flashed TWRP 3.2.3-1 through TWRP, and then dirty flashed v82 to check if everything is OK. It seems that it's good.

So newest TWRP supports QUOTA, right? If it wouldn't we would have data problems?

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Can someone of You using volte describe the exact process of installation? I've tried to do it in different ways but without success. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Robi13:
Found the solution to the Gear problem with the new files:

After flashing gear.zip or gear2.zip you need to go to /system/build.prop and replace "samsung" with "google" as brand AND manufacturer.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Journyman16:
I'm on 3.2.1-0 at present.

I can't recall any app settings that don't come back with a Restore. There's a couple I have to reset after running the ROM install... (Adaptive screen, time out, Font size)

Some things that might matter...

I don't use the TWRP app

I leave /System as writeable

Before I Backup I always delete Cache and Dalvik b4 the B/Up

I have quite a lot of Apps disabled via Package Disabler

Also I have 25 apps frozen in TiBu.

I use SD Maid to remove anything from Boot that I don't think I need.

Not using Google Calendar and running TypeApp for emails.

No tweaks of the kernel.

If on windows

Open ROM in 7zip

Go to system folder in ROM

Open App folder in Volte Zip . Add all 5 folders in ROM system>App folder

Open bin folder in Volte Zip . Add the single file to ROM system>bin folder

Do exact same for Framework , OMC , priv-app & vendor .

None of these files are present in ROM so theres is no replacing till now

Open etc folder in Volte and add the xml file to ROM system>etc folder

Open etc>permission and add the 7 files to ROM sytem>etc>permissions folder

Reboot to recovery , wipe caches . Enable data if disabled . Volt comes after 3/4 seconds and remain permanently at all reboots
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
One other thing I am working on is cutting the dependencies on the kernel ramdisk patches.

Yesterday I managed to move most of them into init.d.

If I manage to do all of them then it would mean that you can flash another kernel.

The ROM will continue to come with NX kernel though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
What about Magisk and Magisk modules? Is it possible to make it that we will be able to update magisk core ourselves?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
That's exactly the way I've done that but it doesn't work. I thought I was doing something wrong. When I created zip file containing both GoogleWiz and Volte and tried to dirty flash it, my phone didn't want to boot, it was restarting all over again. Than I tried to do clean flash but it ended the same way. When I entered twrp I shut the phone down, tried to turn it on, it was booting into twrp directly. I have copied twrp logs but they seem to disappear ?

I don't know what is wrong.

There is one thing coming in my mind-bootloader, since the rom is based on cri5 and my bootloader is still Crc7, could it be the reason? Should I update the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ole12:
Is there any possible to just release an update for the rom instead of full rom when there is only updated apps that have been changed?

And also, possibility to make it work with others kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] cantenna:
Does this get wifi calling working as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Maybe ... let me think about that ...

That might not be so easy ...

First, personally I do not plan on testing with other kernels. That is too much work for me.

Second, the NX kernel is very very good. Most of the kernels out there just do upstreaming without real improvements.

NX kernel has clear improvements in both battery life and performance.

Which kernel do you believe is so much better? I'd like to try it then ...

Third, the ROM has some additional tweaks which are specific to the NX kernel. I am not sure what the effect will be on another kernel.

Fourth, what feature from another kernel do you want which is not supported by the NX kernel?

So, honestly speaking, except if you have some specific goal in mind, I would like to understand what you are looking for in trying other kernels ...

Flashing kernels for the sake of "flashing something new" is useless. Don't bother wasting your time on that.

I'm sure [MENTION=4587002]Noxxxious[/MENTION] would be interested to learn as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Don't upgrade the bootloader ... you will NOT be able to go back !

I am still on the very original BL that came with the first oreo release.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ole12:
DIdn't have any kernel in mind, just general asking.

I was about to flash a Sammy rom yesterday to try TGP kernel (people are saying its fast and has great battery life).

But honestly, midways of setting up in setupwizard, i changed back to googlewiz, because its superlight, superfast, updated, zero Sammy bloat, and no broken stuff. I dont think i ever have used a rom for so long like with your rom.

Kudos to you my friend.

I just asked for the possibility of changes.

But I agree on NX kernel, has been my go to kernel for as long as i can remember.

But having updates for the rom, instead of downloading the whole rom when there is only app updates is something i would really appreciate.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kuduku:
it should , try it out

I think it might require samsung in call UI also

take it from any stock ROMs
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] boybaho182:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] anton2dan:
Is there any problem if we update the BL?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I don't know ... in the past there have been cases where Sammy upgraded the BL which led to all sorts of restrictions ... if it ain't broken, don't fix it !
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] weihberg:
Is this only with me so or with You also

My battery is down very quickly

Still, I have a good 40% loss

Conn on the way home good 1 hour listening to music, Facebook and WhatsApp

Home then only 15-20% battery ...

What can I do

Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS is out
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
I have noticed the same with v82. It's looks like it's charging faster but also discharging much faster than previous versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
Nope. Just volte calls.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] cantenna:
Well I got VOLTE working with help from those two hacker members of this thread; thanks to you guys!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _sbth:
Interesting. I noticed a performance drop, but not a battery life drop (at least I think). I came from v77. What's also really screwed me over is that suddenly I can't restore from Google backups, so I've lost all my app data and, more importantly, my call history and text messages.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Might be the NX17 kernel, I will talk to [MENTION=4587002]Noxxxious[/MENTION].
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Noxxxious:
No idea, doesnt make any sense atleast.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Eddiemc:
Google backup isn't included in the rom. Use TiBu next time. It restores everything and is a heck of a lot more reliable than Google's backup. You can keep the backup on external SD and always have it available without needing lots of data/wifi to restore.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _sbth:
Oh, crap. That's not good. I use all of my external SD storage for my music (and just enough space for a backup ROM zip). I've been using G backup for everyone ROM update. Why was this removal not in any changelogs or even the OP? I've just lost all my texts, wifi passwords and app data now. :( I definitely would have just stayed on v77 if I knew that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Just revert back to v77. You should have your last backup in gdrive.

There is nothing mentioned in the OP about Google backup feature WORKING as well.

Searching the thread for Google backup you would find that it's not working.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
Nope. Backup has been removed since v77 September release. All previous roms had google backup feature fully working (with toggle etc...).

V78 the item is grey "service disabled".

Maybe push googlebackuptransport in rom may solve this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Well, I have tried Google backup over the last few days; it is simply not reliable for me.

It takes a very long time (hours) before things get backed up.

So I am not very eager to include it ... there are better tools out there ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
You should have Your backup on GDrive, only it is not possible to restore it on v82.

I don't use GB, but when I check my GDrive I have my last backup made on 15th of September so it was v78.

GoogleBackupTransport is included in the ROM but it probably needs some more services to make it work. It's already been discussed in the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
Yes i know. Same statement here. Maybe something is break between rom and google. Kernel or other stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I made it clean in |OP| that GB is not included ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
Not an issue. Tb etc is a workaround..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
Maybe if You actually made it running and You know what to add, You could just make a zip with GB for those who can't live without it ?

Waiting hours to make a backup is a mistake, and also adding it as another running process to the rom would be like bloating Your own work... ?

For me, v82 is already outstanding ROM! I can't imagine going back to stock ?

Huge RESPECT foobar66 ?????????
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Journyman16:
You could go back to v77 or even flash another ROM with GB built int, get your data and save it out.

I use Superbackup for Contacts, Calls and SMS backup - doesn't take much space on the MicroSD - I've found TiBu annoying due to the intermittent inability to backup out to external SD - which now seems a permanent 'feature.'

I still use it as an emergency B/Up but having to backup to IntSD then copy across to extSD is annoying.

For most of my info, Superbackup or SwiftBackup work just fine.

---------- Post added at 10:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

I'm on v82 and haven't noticed either performance or battery issues. I lose between 2% & 3% overnight and with fairly light use I get a couple of days from batterbefore I charge at around 50%.

I do however, (as mentioned earlier) turn off as much as possible from Boot processes and freeze/disable lots of stuff I don't have a use for.

But I haven't noticed any changes by moving to v82.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] psychonavigator:
Did this ever get addressed? Battery life is killing me atm.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] buzzboy:
Battery performance for me has been great. Definitely on par with previous versions. I'm certainly not having any major drainage issues that's for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I will make a separate flashable zip for those who want to use Google Backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Same for me ... I do not have batter issues (never had) ...

Do a clean flash and check if the problem persists.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Wow, that is really very good ... I am around 6% to 7% overnight ... that is with WIFI and data OFF.

What do you mean with boot process freeze/disable?

What other stuff do you disable (and how)?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
More than a "workaround" I would say ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
I've been playing around with swap again. Since many releases ago, swap was disabled in this ROM. That is one of the reasons why it is so fast.

On the other hand, some apps often restart when you open them after a period of non-usage.

For example, open Google contacts, do something else for a few minutes, open Google contacts again => it restarts from scratch. It's been removed from memory and hence restarts.

I have re-enabled swap and you clearly notice that apps stay longer in memory as some of them move to the swap space. The penalty is a small overall performance loss, but going out of an app and back into it will in many cases be a lot faster.

So it is a bit of a tradeoff ... I am planning to make this configurable in the next release (swap=on or swap=off) ... then people can experiment a bit and determine the best setting for themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Journyman16:
In SD Maid you can alter app access options such as Activity Manager, Export the APK, Freeze app, and Receiver manager. The last one allows you to turn off apps starting with Boot. e.g. I turn off TypeApp email because I prefer to do Manual sync to my accounts when I need to check emails.

In Package Disabler I load a saved XML that disables all shown in the attached file. Not sure how many of them aren't needed because they aren't present anyway but the list doesn't seem to break anything.

Some of those are duplicated in TiBu - see attached screens
