I'm having issues with Nova launcher and not being able display widgets, anyone else have this issue? I had no problems on a different Rom today, widget says problem loading widget, even did a clean install of it (restore from backup didn't work either)

The widgets also work on this Rom if I use the default launcher, just not Nova. Really werid any ideas or just wait till V8 and keep fingers crossed? It's also not every widget, myfitnesspal works, but my calendar and CBS sports doesn't

Hey guys,

The is any Kernel for this Rom ?

Can I flash last NX Kernel ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] MrDusan:
For me, it works best with TGP kernel. But U can use NX.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AngelOfBlood:
Thanks m8, I will try both ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ivanrom:
I always use tpg also

Enviado desde mi SM-G960F mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AngelOfBlood:
Well, with TGP is very good for now :D

Guys this isn't an issue just a question and improvements for the rom..

- Program Bixby to (shoot) in camera mode ? Like when we hit the button take the picture !?

- Remove Iris Mask (ugly like hell) from the screen when unlocking?

(Updated)

- When phone blocked lock access to Status Bar functions.

- Remove Battery icon (Staying percentage only).

- Resize Navigation bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jordiz86:
Fur mask you can set to unlock when display is on, without swipe ;)

I have issues with tgp, madmax and nk, NX is the only kernel that works perfect to me

Enviado desde mi SM-G960F mediante Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AngelOfBlood:
Sorry first time didn't understand...

Yeah I know, but for example in renovate, you can customize it to see no mask at all in "Rice options? I think".

I'm asking because this rom have mods and maybe can be implemented ;)

---------- Post added at 20:51 ---------- Previous post was at 20:13 ----------

What issues do you have with TGP ???

Mine is working better then NX :)

I installed through kernel aroma the "Spectrum" and put it to performance. For now, no issues, no heat, I'm testing battery ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ivanrom:
I always use tgp in the other roms I tested I love it, I have issues with themes, get ui system fcs

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] AngelOfBlood:
Try flashing again the Rom, initiate it first time, reboot to recovery then flash TGP but without wiping, and without clean magisk.

I choose this in TGP:

Backup settings: yes

Root: Magisk

Wipe old Magisk: No

Install apps: MTweaks

Splashscreen: Curent

Kernel option: Spectrum

Then Finish (don't clean cache/dalvik) reboot.

Hi , I have just downloaded this ROM and it is very good indeed. Well done to all the developers. However, I have one problem if I go to backup the ROM

using TWRP it shows my internal card as having 0MB. I know this is something to do with Oreo and TWRP and mounting different partitions. Is there a patch to resolve this or have I omitted to do something whilst installing it? Any help would be much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] MSTRoyal:
Did you come from a nougat ROM? If so you have to format/data before installing Oreo for the first time

That is really strange because I have been on Oreo for some time now and have only just come across this problem.

I suppose I have to flash the ROM again and format data first?
