i fought for 1 week straight with an ebay seller from my own country. he tried the reverse psychology on me telling me that I was the scammer trying to screw him over..i eventualy got my money back. i still have that samsung evo 256+gb somewhere...ithink lol anyways, always test your cards:

https://www.raymond.cc/blog/test-an...b-flash-drives-bought-from-ebay-with-h2testw/

takes a while but h2testw does the job.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Thx for the link. I'll test my card when it comes in. I have a slot on my All-In-One computer that can probably test it faster and more conveniently than my phone.

BTW, the reason I like to buy USA sellers only is because they're in my legal jurisdiction and more can be done about it than if the seller is in another country. ebay is pretty good about protecting both the seller and buyer, and this seller offers returns, so I should have no problem if I discover it's fake. Those tests should provide satisfatory evidence either way.

Good afternoon

In framework.jar, there is no modification.

In framework-res.apk, there are no substantial changes that differentiate other roms.

In SystemUI, there are substantial changes that differentiate this rom from the rest, and that is what differentiates it from the rest.

What does 'quickly set those up' entail? I am about to take the plunge on 8.3 + Detonator, and if it isn't as simple as flashing + flashing, where did you find the steps to make everything work? The steps specified in the Detonator thread?

Hi AbrahamGC,

A beautiful ROM. Thank you for your hard work!

Is there a way to enable lockscreen to turn upside down ?

Also is there any plan of adding Dolby Atmos or Viper4Android in future versions ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] tabish84:
You can add viper via magisk and you can add Dolby to but its gonna work with headphones only
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bud Horn:
I have actually managed to get Dolby Atmos to work even with speakers... You'll have to update the soundalive apk with a modded one. Go search for it in here... Otherwise I can provide one of you like... It's not my work, though so I don't know if it is legal to do in here.... I will not do anything that can put me in bad standing [emoji16][emoji106].

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bud Horn:
Hello [MENTION=7602479]ammisr[/MENTION].

It might be BS to you, but for me it has improved the sound significantly on my device, using headphones (wired and BT). Of course I cannot hear a difference with the mediocre speakers, that the Note 8 comes with. But as an audiophile for years, I never use the Note's speakers ...

Sound modding is extremely subjective as I've stated before in here, so what sound good for me might sound crappy in your ears - and vice versa.

The thing is that the dude above asked how I installed it and I gave him my advice - lets not start a quarrel about this in here, spamming the thread, because as I said: it is so subjective which sound and mods you prefer.

But I can recommend V4A, Ainurs Sauron Mk. II.II (or beta Mk. III is working great), ARISE Magnum Opus, Dolby Atmos (links in my previous post), ICE sound and JamesDSP - I can confirm those working on my Note8 ... so it is really up to you to play with it and find the sound you like.

\Bud
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GODSPD:
After installing 8.3 i cannot seem to get V4A working? has anyone got it working 100% if so please share which files used or needed steps? i tried all the Magisks modules but none seem to work...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] truenitos:
Im using Deluxe 8.3 with Dolby and Viper too, Installed that 1.5.1 and work pretty fine with Bluetooth ! Sounds for sure is improved ! So its not BS ! Flash the Dolby Installer 1.5.1 then BRG6 Libs .ZIP and then SoundAlive
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Sorry for the confusion and delay. What you say above is exactly right. Depending on what you have on your device, either clean wipe or dirty flash v8.3. Boot up and then return to TWRP and flash DETONATOR. Then boot up again and check Settings -> Connections -> Mobile networks. Check to see if you have VoLTE calls. Also check Access Point Names to set the correct APN.

Then go back to Connections and click on More connection settings at the bottom. There you can find Wi-Fi Calling and turn it on. Those functions are what I focused on, and T-Mobile provides them for its customers. DeluxeRom v8.x doesn't come with carrier functions so the two DETONATOR .zip files allow us to emulate a T-Mobile or AT&T phone. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bud Horn:
It is really not that hard, mate. Ainurs Sauron flashed in twrp, ARISE Magnum Opus flashed in twrp (after editing build.prop-file and place it in root of internal SD-card - you can read about it in the ARISE-thread - you have to work your way ahead here as there are a lot of modded files in the ARISE-package you can choose from, the ICE-config for example. If you use Magisk, theres a magisk compability module in the build.prop that you have to choose), V4A and JamsDSP installed via Magisk (be sure to choose the Ahrion and Zackpgt5-version of V4A - the only on I've managed to get to work) and Dolby installs as mentioned above here. And then off course flash AML in Magisk to get the files to work together.

Hope it works out for you if you want to try it out, buddy :good:

\Bud
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GODSPD:
Could you please be kind enough and share all the links? im really struggling to find one fully working v4a version....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bud Horn:
The one fully working V4A you'll find in Magisk Managers download section - as I said: go with the Ahrion and Zackpgt5-version ... it is called Viper4Android FX, v. 1.7.1 (2.5.0.5), created by VIPER520, ZhuHang, Ahrion and Zackptg5

Thanks for the reply --

I just took the plunge. It does not work for me.

Are you sure that your VoLTE works? I have the menu, it is enabled, but if you actually test it, the LTE drops out when on a phone call and the icon just shows '4g'

Also, if you turn on LTE only (SIM Manager, from LTE/3G/2G), you are unable to make phone calls.

Wifi Calling is also stuck at "Enabling..."

What a bummer. I had all of this working on my S7 Edge before!

What CSC did you choose when flashing DeluxeROM? I used BTU then flashed Detonator over it.

Also, the omcnw_code.dat file disappears when I flash. I make it myself, but after I reflash Detonator, it goes away. Do you still have that file?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Bud Horn:
Hi guys.

I have problems with VoLte ... The icon doesn't show in statusbar and VoLte is activated in settings - and no, I haven't removed it from statusbar ...

So in settings it should be activated but I cannot see it so I don't know if it works properly. I am on the flawless V. 8.3 and Phantom Kernel.

Anyone else experience this or have a solution to this?

Thx in advance, guys :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Don't feel like the Lone Stranger, because it didn't work for me the first time, too. At first, I thought it was all rubbish, but then I realized that there was perhaps something in my set up that wasn't allowing DETONATOR to work. Finally, when DeluxeROM v8.3 came out, I decided to make like a toilet and take the plunge. I clean wiped everything and installed v8.3. Then I booted into it and checked a few things, like APN. I chose MID, which is one of two T-Mobile APNs in the USA. Then I flashed DETONATOR and rebooted. It was all there this time. One difference between 1st and 2nd try was I didn't have Magisk v16.0 loaded on the 2nd try.

I'm pretty darn sure VoLTE works, because I can talk to someone via cell tower AND look surf the internet simultaneously. I haven't seen the LTE drop out problem. I haven't tried LTE only, because I don't want to limit the phone's ability to connect so I haven't had your problem of unable to make phone calls.

I also didn't have the problem of being stuck on WiFi Enabling. I was able to switch WiFi on and Wi_Fi Calling on readily. I'm not sure what your problem is, but I had a problem on the first try, then I did a clean wipe with no Magisk, and it worked.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] AbrahamGC:
Hello, sorry for the little support but I do not have much time. Errors in DRC usually occur only when you choose a background image that is not on our phone. There are several views of the phone in which we can select a background image, but we should NEVER choose it from a remote site (MEGA, Photos, etc). Always from gallery or file manager. The ROM has been tested in clean and wipe-free installation and DRC is still running.

About updates:

As you know, now there is also DeluxeROM for S7/S7E, so the updates take a little more time.

The next version for Note will be v9.0, if everything goes well next week, I hope Samsung will update soon to base it on the new security patch.

For S7/S7E the update v2.0 is planned for this weekend since it only has the initial version and has several errors.

As there is not much time, we do not accept "requests" for mods, there are like 5 new mods, the rest is all corrections of the current ROM (DEX, lags, improvements of mods, battery corrections, kernels update, etc).

See you soon!

Seems very nice.

Unfortunally I am having a serious issue with your rom.

As I am a drone user, I use the DJI Go (Since p4) app. Whenever I am viewing my drones camera view, the app starts lagging. When I pull up the bottom buttons, or the status bar the lag is completely gone. But in like 5 seconds it is back again. It is not only the video feedback stuttering, but the whole app.

This problem only occures to DeluxeRom, already from version 7.3. Is there any way you could find a fix for this? Your rom is the one I want to use, but I am not capable to do this if this lag persists. Already tried other kernels but this doesn't fix it either..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kcramp858:
So -- I finally got it working with the following steps:

1. I gave up on this ROM and flashed another ROM, only to have it not work.

2. I clean wiped and flashed this ROM with SuperSU instead and that appears to have fixed it. No magisk.

I am not sure if flashing that other ROM changed the modem/BL (and that made it work), or if it was the superSU instead of magisk.

Battery life on this rom is pretty bad, so I figured I would change the kernel. I flashed Phantom kernel and battery life has greatly improved, but in doing so I forgot and flashed magisk over it (you need to re-root after switching kernels, I think). Now I can't get it back. Typical.

I will likely need to clean wipe again and then make sure I never touch Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] balaa:
Google Pay (Tez) is not working in your Rom...If i installed Mad max kernel then it is working fine... currently i am using v8.3... can you please update this......?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Yes, you will likely have to do a clean wipe. That's what I did to get everything to work right. Then when I flashed DeluxeROM v8.3 and DETONATOR, everything worked fine. I have had no issues with battery life.

I did not test Google Pay, because I've been told that there is a problem with Magisk that doesn't support SafetyNet. I use Google Pay frequently, so I need this function working ASAP. I'm hoping that the Magisk developer fixes his problem soon. I have Magisk 16.0 flashed, so I'm waiting for the working model to overwrite 16.0. If SuperSU supports Google Pay and I can find a way to unflash Magisk 16.0, I'll try it.

Edit: Abraham is planning to issue v9.0 based on Pie soon, so I'm waiting for it; however, I don't know if DETONATOR_N8_S8x_OREO_TMO_EFS-CSC_v3_INT_TEKHD will bolt on to this version and work properly. If it doesn't, I won't install v9.0, because I've been enjoying great success with it and Wi-Fi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Sean_FD2R:
Google pay works fine on Deluxe 8.3 with magisk 16.6.However Topjohnwu has already release new version of magisk that passed safetynet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kcramp858:
Well, I clean wiped and have since been unsuccessful no matter what I try -- I can't get the TMB features to work. They are all there, they just don't work.

Ask TEKHD if his v3 version of DETONATOR will work with DeluxeROM v9.0. He may not know until it comes out and he tests it, but I'm sure he will have to tweak it and come out with another "per" version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Huele Fello:
Since there are various sources of Magisk and TWRP, and some are not guaranteed to be the latest and greatest for greatlte, where is the latest Magisk release that passes SafetyNet? I already have TWRP 3.2.3-TwrpBuilder installed. I hope this is the latest and greatest.
