Rocking the Main Rom while I'm still downloading the Debloat Zip. Just had a small issue. In the Sim Card Manager, you can't force SIM 1 to use LTE/3G/2G if the SIM 2 is using LTE/3G/2G or vice versa. You should set the SIM 2 to use 3G/2G first before setting the SIM to LTE/3G/2G. In stock rom, setting the other sim to LTE/3G/2G will automatically set the other sim to use 3G/2G.

Almost done downloading the Debloat one. So far so good!

The "split" package is an excellent idea specially for users like me who wants a "minimal" ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] yash92duster:
Great to hear that:D

1. for FP check FAQ section for how to set it up if using modded apps

2. smart scan dont work, read bug list

3. BT music works, 3 users reported it works fine for them

AKG performs well now with high bass, i feel a little change due to s9 port

we can get s9 camera, dolby and Smart scan may work one day.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] SubZeroNexii:
I have a pretty important problem with this rom.

If you are using a led view cover DON'T LET IT UPDATE.

It will break your cover's firmware and make it completely unusable.

Learned this the hard way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] yash92duster:
led apps i reverted back to s8 ones in next build

as we use s9+ build prop it will get s9 app updates

so we must set back to s8/s8+ then for proper app updates
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gn00my:
Here same problem . Led view cover broke after update......

Is a fix for this possible??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] SubZeroNexii:

Hey Yash!

Lovely rom, been following your work for a while and love your s9 port series.

Having a weird issue where my notifcation leds are not working despite being enabled. Everything else is buttery smooth, and even volte and wifi calling are now working with my custom csc.

Any idea what could fix the notification leds though?

Thanks in advance!

PS: really good idea with the separate zips, had no issues whatsoever!

And I would also like to report a bug on the latest version, the sound when ringing or playing music is very quiet and distorted.

Man, I like your ROM but I get battery drain even in safe mode. All I know is, when I'm NOT rooted, cpu frequencies are fine. When I AM rooted, cpu frequencies are always at max for either the little or big cores.

So it's no app that I've installed that's causing the battery drain, it's something somewhere in the system. I did dozens of format data's, factory resets, adb top commands to find the problem, but I've found nothing except for battery drain is caused by some system app running the sh file constantly when the phone is rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] yash92duster:
Battery drain =idc

Simply go back to other roms or stock

Nothing I can do

All s8+ are not same. Amazing sell different quality to each country. So so won't have same performance

I get 2 days backup with 9hrs sot with MadMax kernel.

And I use around 150 to 200 apps or of my 400.

Good day

Procedure to flash this ROM to get better SOT

Hi everyone,

Background:

I am using S8 SM-G950F from around 4 months now and coming from Oneplus 5 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, I am fed up with its battery life and performance lags. This phone is giving me hard time to keep up even to my daily usage. I am getting SOT of around 4-5 hours and heat up problem. I usually have around 60-70 3rd party apps installed.

Question:

I was thinking of flashing this ROM after seeing many comments about the stability and great SOT time. It would be really helpful if anyone can help me in flashing this ROM. I have flashed ROMs in past as well but they were mostly official Cyanogenmod/Lineage ROMs.

Can anyone tell me the whole process of flashing this ROM and which kernel and other apps to install with this ROM? I just need a smooth performance with great maximum SOT possible.

It would be really helpful if anyone can provide the link to the comments that might be helpful in this scenarios.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] yash92duster:
New rom is in works

Im working on 10+ Roms currently

Stay tuned:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] yash92duster:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] DAViiD__:
If you don't care, that's fine. It's just an issue that has been popping up since two or three builds ago that I wanted you to know of. Never had this issue before, had around 5-6 hours SOT prior to CPU frequency issue. I'll try something else.

Good day
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] yash92duster:
If you check my screenshots in channel and here you will know I got 8 to 9 hrs sot

No issues for me means I simply can't fix for others

Thank you so much. I read the procedure on TWRP link and it seems pretty easy.

Do i need to install both the ROMs i.e. Light ROM and Light ROM Debloat or just one is enough?

If one is enough then which one to choose and whats the difference?

Thank you.
