maybe this is a stupid question but, will security functions work after flashing a rom? If someone steal my phone, and wipe data, factory reset protection will work?

Im thinking maybe flash the rom and go back to stock recovery and disable oem unlock from options,

(I'm asking this because i got my phone stolen, which I later recover, but it was a different situation, now I'm on stock Oreo again but I really would like to flash a custom rom again)

Thanks,

Hello Mate,

I have problem with your ROM. All account apps like (Gmail, Outlook, OneDrive, Trello) don't work. They are crashing when I try to log in. Also Google apps crashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kimern:
Can confirm this working on SM-G955F, S8+

Had to flash re-flash NOX kernel after ROM, then finish off with Magisk.

Will report back if i find S8+ specific bugs.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Well ... good news ... BUT this might not install the complete ROM. I am guessing that you will now have lost the /etc/init.d/ capability.

The Google dialer might also not be working. There is an /etc/init.d script which sets it as default.

Do the following: reboot your phone, then:

% adb shell (from Windows or Linux)

$ su

# ls -l /data/LOGFILE*

Check the modification time of those files; should be same as your reboot time ...

If that is the case, then VERY good ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Nope ... Samsung stuff is removed from this ROM ... read |OP|.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Impossible ... then you did something wrong ... I have Gmail and Outlook ... working fine.

Do a clean install.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
My ROM has a trimmed down version of the NOX kernel installation which is only for S8.

That is why you have to reflash (and then obviously have to reflash Magisk to get root).

You will not get my modified kernel ram disk which has KNOX fully removed.

But OK ... that is not a problem ;)

Let me know please how your testing is going.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Baalzeph:
Hi.

Full wipe after you upgrade your Samsung stock. Format data and wipe.

Flash v82

Don't reboot to system. Reboot in recovery.

Wipe factory reset. Do not format data.

Flash v88. Reboot system.

Prob solved.

I'm on DBT version too and it works in my country (France) without touching my csc.

I experienced issues with sync calendar and chrome. Maybe Google related...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ashrai:

v89 (2018-11-09):

- update: Google: streetview, play services, drive, news, cloud print, photos, sheets, docs, slides, gboard, youtube, translate, gmail, keep, AR core

- update: Swiftkey

- optimize all ROM XML files (remove comments, whitespace, empty tags)

- remove applock from advanced settings

- New: Google musicfx

Google Musicfx allows you to have an equalizer in your sound settings (Settings > Sounds > Sound quality and effects). If you do not want this, put "musicfx=0" in your googlewiz.config file. The setting is there in the settings app but will have no effect when you press it.

Fixed issue which (I think) is responsible for some installation failures and not parsing googlewiz.config file correctly.

Google gboard should have faster keyboard load times.

Google maps now allows to search for EV stations.

Google sheets, slides, docs have bug fixes and performance improvements.

Google news has new customization options for cards.

Google translate has improved offline translation.

Google gmail can now use “Undo Send”.

Google keep updated to material design.

Google youtube swipe to remove videos from playlists

Google trips improved refinements when selecting a restaurant.

Google AR core improved performance and battery life.

Google drive performance improvements and bug fixes.

Hmm ... I think I already know what happened, Chromecast, News, Photos, Steetview, Youtube only seem to have English and Nederlands (Dutch). I need to investigate why this has happened this time when building v89.

Change your language, then reboot the phone and check the apps again. If all is well they should have your language.

I tried setting to French, then reboot and a new APK is generated for the apps below in /data/app, with the right language config.

I don't know precisely why this is happening.

On your phone you can use mixplorer. The text editor is quite nice in it or if you are on Windows use notepad++. It will keep the original formatting of the file without messing up the carriage return.

I can't login to Hangouts with my work G Suite account. I need it for communication. It signs in, but when it tries to set up Google syncing (which I can't skip), it errors out and won't set up the account. (It's the "Checking info" screen.) I'm running v83, so it might not apply for a newer release of this ROM, so I'll update soon and find out if it's a problem still.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mrjoy:
Best rom but we need samsung theme store instead of substrum.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _sbth:
No way. The whole point of this ROM is that you use Google software where possible and to remove anything Samsung that doesn't completely break the device. Wanting to use Samsung software on a ROM whose primary objective is to get rid of Samsung software doesn't make much sense. If you want the theme store, you have to add back Galaxy, the Galaxy Store, Samsung accounts, Samsung overlays, etc. If you want the Samsung theme store, use the stock ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AndrzejDwo:
No problems at all with clean install v89. Google account is working. Did You tried to log into Your account within first sys configuration or after? Did You checked the logs?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _sbth:
Clean install (wiped every partition except for external SD on which my ROM zips are stored). It crashes regardless of whether I try to login at setup time or after initial setup through the Settings app. I flashed v83, successfully logged in, then dirty flashed v89. It kept my account logged in, but certain things would crash apps, like opening any of my emails in either Inbox or Gmail. Just gonna have to stick with v77 or go back to stock.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
Not yet ... wait ... I am investigating it ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:

For Google Backup, please flash the following zip from TWRP, then reboot.

https://mega.nz/#!WQ4TTCiQ!F_EY5IhpnAvVuI_EjZBrmhcXLH8_4M2xjkaFbZzrCdU

Then go to: Settings > Accounts > Back up and restore

You should now be able to toggle the setting: "Back up my data". Switch it to ON. Then select "Google Account" on the same screen. You should get a new screen showing "Back up to Google Drive" (it should be ON). For the various components (same screen further down) I am getting now the message "Waiting to backup" ... so I assume that it is in progress.

I have personally never done this before so I am not quite sure what to expect.

Can someone else try it please?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] _sbth:
Firstly, I'd like to apologise. I was super salty and toxic last night. Sorry about that.

Secondly, if you guys wanna have a massive laugh, it turns out my issue at the time was that I didn't have Chrome installed (I set it to 0 in the config) because I wanted all my apps to be user apps instead of system apps so that I could try and somehow back them up with SwiftBackup or something. It turns out that Chrome is needed to open up the login webpage that shows regardless of how you start setting up the phone! Who would have thought?! :eek: After setting Chrome to install via the config, I was able to go through the process successfully. However, I'm now running into an issue where successfully signing in and going through the setup process results in a crash at the very last step.

If I avoid logging in and skip it, then the phone sets up fine. Google Backup also works perfectly fine (thank you so, so, so, so much for that!!!!). However, because I can't sign into Google during the setup process, I can't restore from any Google backups since (I think) it can only be done during setup. I'm running the latest version of TWRP from the official site (I recall one of the changelogs stating that the modification required by the ROM is automatically made during flash), and I'm doing clean flashes of v89 (wipe all partitions in Advanced Wipe of TWRP -> adb push googlewiz.config to /sdcard -> flash v89 -> wipe cache -> flash G backup -> wipe cache -> reboot). Are there any other details you might need?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Journyman16:
Simplest way is to edit the one created when you flash the ROM - it's in the root of the SDCard. (aka /emulated/0) I like DroidEdit from Play for editing files but most File Explorers have an option to edit I think.

Read the OP for options and either enter the choice (e.g. immersive=navbar) or a 1 for things you DO want and a 0 for things you don't. (e.g. maps=1)

Then just flash the ROM again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] foobar66:
