It might just be a compatibility error. On One UI when the Nav Bar is off it seemes (somewhat) lowered. Sorry this is happening for you. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
Whoops forgot the screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
Probably, but I can't say for sure since I don't use Odin. I would just do exactly what the guide says, but that's up to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] duh_steven:
Alright guess ima do it at my own risk! Uggghhhh but anyways why does the update.zip take forever to download on my phone. It's quite long compared to the odin files.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
It's firmware.science. They've got incredibly slow hosting speeds. It took me about 2.5 hours to download.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] duh_steven:
Oh no wonder, but still, the download keeps resetting on my phone. My obsolete window 7 pc barely has enough space to download the files and if i were to transfer the files through my macbook it still takes ages to download. If it takes 2.5 hours for you, it might take a day for me.

Xda gestures removes the gap completely

The space is really abnormal but xda gestures DOES solve the problem for us.

Suggest you trying that.

Even with the one ui , the gap is removed as you turn on gestures
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dj_iiml:
Same for me actually:laugh::confused:

Still waiting for the beta

Can you update the source and check if exynos variants are getting it anytime soon:(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
Hm. No idea. I extracted it multiple times and ended with the same result. Maybe because it's down ported. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] duh_steven:
I'm joining in the party people!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] duh_steven:
After updating my device to One Ui using the closed beta for the Unlocked Snapdragon S8, it has become a Verizon device (no longer unlocked and the bloatware is back). Starting up the device was a bit laggy, and using it wasn't quite smooth, but I got used to it for 2 hours now. The baseband version is now G950USQU5DRL6. I don't know if there's any major difference between DRL5 beside the apps are updated to a newer version. Looks quite similar to S9/S9+ beta 4. I have experience abnormal battery drain, but it's normal as it is a beta. Love the whole ui, but there are still many things that needs improvement on.

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------

Don't fret OP you'll get to party hard very soon! Im sure developers would be able to port an exynos variant, but it should take some time like they said.

Camera bugs in beta

Heard these bugs are there in one ui beta with note 9 too and even the scene optimizer isn't there in the one ported to S8/Note 8

Think they will be coming with further updates:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PlutoDelic:
That's exactly what i had. Points taken guys, thanks a lot. I'll definitely give the XDA Gestures a try, but does it completely take away the nav bar? i still prefer to have it there with a swipe up.

Is there any chance you can explain cloning a bit to me? Is this the way to get through the apps that wont install? Say the ones we get from APKMIRROR that are technically compatible, but fail to install?

I tried it yesterday and it confused me. Would one have other methods to install them if rooted?

PS, [MENTION=5204864]dj_iiml[/MENTION]

I dont want to sound like an asshole, i really do value your work here, but any chance you/we could revamp the thread? Getting a bit lost sometimes to follow stuff around. Really no offense meant by it.

They built Pie update for Exynos Note 8 but it doesn't leak. May be someone leak it but there is no hope for us i guess
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] emptywordsss:
Same result here, also the nav bar have whiteout too. Lets just hope that the One ui for Exynos will be ready out soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dj_iiml:
Regarding cloning and using app cloner, I have provided instructions in the first post- regarding cloning and installing with detailed steps.

Official website also given.

Think that would help you.

And plz let me know as to how you meant to revamp the thread- this is actually my first thread intended to help out others so that like me, they also get the pie taste.

Let me know as in what changes should be done- help me out as I'm not very accustomed to xda.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
So to answer your first question, yeah it completely removes the nav bar. Swiping up will just trigger your actions. And for the second one, cloning is just the process of changing the package name of the app, so the system doesn't see it as the same app. You're basically making a copy or "clone" of the app. If it doesn't see it as the same app, there's a higher chance it'll install.

If you're rooted, your options to install these apps are kinda endless. You can just move the app to the system apps folder (or whatever it is) Try searching "update system apps with root" or something. I'll look for an answer too.

FOLLOWUP:

Ok so I looked around and everyone's saying to just paste the apk into /system/apps and then reboot. You can try that. Some people have problems with certain apps so be cautious.

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

I think he means to just clean it up a little. Maybe reorganize the instructions. You could take some new updated screenshots, and explain what people should do with some more detail.

got ar but no vision

i got ar working out the box with the update but i dont have bixby vision working. anyone else can confirm vision working or not working. maybe download corrupt
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PlutoDelic:
Thats exactly my worry. Messed up many times in previous phones thinking im getting the latest stuff, just too find out i have no functional launcher or settings. Ive been downloading a load of Samsung apps from apkmirror that supported Oreo, but just wont install, i literary juat tried the latest AOD to no avail, sure as hell not going to risk replacing that with the system apps.

Yes, exactly what i mean. A few points need to be cleared up, i was confused regarding installing the night theme, initially it says inatall apk, then install again after Theme Store is left open in the background.

I ended up having this :p (see attachments), obviously im gettimg something wrong. The "Notification Settings" bar is white when no notifications are present, and black when i have them. Not to mention that white stuff around the corners. Literary the only thing im looking forward to for OneUI Pie is DarkMode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dj_iiml:
Ok :good:

Got your point:good:

Will edit the posts and make it more detailed and clear:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dj_iiml:
Uninstall the night theme from theme store-- select the night theme and delete.

Reinstall again with instructions given in the text file in the zip provided by me.

Will work without the bugs .

Also, revamping the posts:good:

Got your point:)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PlutoDelic:
Got it all working, nice.

Apparently, the space between the Dock/Homescreen Icons, it will be used correctly if you actually DO NOT HIDE IT with the Double Tap on the side virtual button. When i used the Xposed Edge method, it correctly hides it as it should. What a weird ride it has been.

Notifications are in place as they should be, only a few Pie apps are acting weirdly with white text on white background, but those are low usage ones anyway.

Thanks a lot [MENTION=5204864]dj_iiml[/MENTION] & [MENTION=8310685]RSLPride[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] duh_steven:
After installing the closed beta and using it for approximately a day, I wasn't really too hyped with the new features like the night mode, nav gestures, etc., despite it's great knowing im on the latest os, and ui. Maybe because I got so used with the pie apps and tweaks that nothing seemed new to me. I know my phone never had these features before and how some apps crashed, but it's not so intriguing after watching people reviewed One Ui and seeing what's new. It's a whole new experience and I've noticed it's like using a new phone with faster and smoother performances. If you're on Oreo and using the the night theme with the modded tweaks and pie apps your likely not going to see a major change beside the new features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] PlutoDelic:

As [MENTION=7674002]duh_steven[/MENTION] already mentioned installing and using the pie beta, your question brought in a ray of hope:laugh:

In case he answered "exynos" :laugh::p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
I've gone in and extracted some of the apps, including the One UI Font, which may or may not be supported. I'm not sure which apps need to be installed for contacts and phone to work so I included a few, but if there's anything missing, or anything you want me to add, I'll get them for you. The Read Me text is as follows.

"This is a dump of apps from the Android Pie One UI Beta for the Galaxy Note 8. Clone these apps in app cloner. Certain apps will install normally, but most won't. I haven't checked what apps are and aIren't compatible with Android Oreo. It may be all of them. If you get a parse error then it's incompatible. You can use the Apk Editor method to downgrade the API but chances are it won't work.

- RSLPride"

I've included also the Air Command app and some of the air view apps. Live Message should install normally, but I only did that with the Note 9's live message. Translate should too, but I'm not sure. I don't think Air Command will install normally, but you can try. It can't be cloned. Credits to Samsung for the apps if that's required :laugh:

I stumbled upon Samsung DeX when I connected my phone to a monitor with an HDMI cable. I was astounded because I never thought this would actually work and it's quite cool honestly. This is most likely happening from Android P cus it never worked with Oreo before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dj_iiml:
That's great news for us!

Hope Samsung brings in more features like scene optimizer in this new update!:laugh::fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ptheguy:
EnvDayTheme3.2. closes from time to time. It seems a bit unstable. Is there an update for it since its appearance in post #2? If yes, how can I get the update?

Btw, amazing work and post. The theme is super great. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dj_iiml:
No update post 3.2 but try the v3, might be more stable

Trial ends and revert to default theme happens as we have all installed security patches with software updates.

Try the v3 and check if its better and more stable for you.

And thanks for the appreciation:)

So glad to help:D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] duh_steven:
Not sure because Samsung usually takes a few features away from their last year flagships, but yeah we should keep our hopes up and pray they would add most of the camera features including; scene optimizer, live focus and super slow motion in their official update. I've also noticed they didnt include a security section in device care. It's great that they brought over almost all of the newest features into one beta, but it's better if we can get all of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stefi.ciubotaru:
Hi, is there any way I can fully revert my phone to stock ? Even thought I uninstalled the black theme the patch for the theme store still applies every boot, and due to my install of xda gestures my navbar hides in apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
Sure. First off, can you elaborate on what your problem is with the patch? What kind of patch is it? How does it affect your daily use? And for the XDA Gestures, are you hiding the nav bar though the app or just with the double tap button? If you would like to uninstall XDA Gestures, make sure the hide nav bar option is off if you did that through adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dj_iiml:
Delete the night theme from theme store- and reboot.

Uninstalling the black theme doesn't work normally.

Also, try applying some other theme and reboot too.

Also as [MENTION=8310685]RSLPride[/MENTION] asked, kindly clarify what problems you're having with navigation gestures
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Steve One:
Hello RSLPride have you updated to the 6 version of the update and if so would you recommend me doing it Sir.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:

Okay, so am still waiting for the Galaxy App store to have the new icon. Samsung Theme Store has a new icon tho but many of us already got it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
I'm not sure. Based on Max's video, I think you might have to flash back. If you do, I'm just gonna skip.

I don't know. I don't think so. I guess we'll just have to wait for the official Pie update to arrive and see.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Lucky. I didn't get that so I had to update themes manually :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
Perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
I've got some updates.

1. According to comments from a user on the Note 8 Beta article, you will need to flash back to CRK1 in order to update to DRL6. Flashing WILL void the warranty according to another user, and I'm paying for premium care so that isn't an option until I stop paying for it.

2. According to the same user we probably aren't going to get OTAs, meaning the only way to get the official build would be to flash back to CRK1. So the loss of warranty and possibility of bricking is inevitable for those of us who updated ? Exynos users, be happy you haven't updated because us beta users are driving straight into a brick wall (Pun intended). I guess we'll just have to enjoy the ride while it lasts. ?

URGENT UPDATE:

Scrap literally everything I just said under #2. According to another thread I just read through, if you flash the official CRK1 firmware from samsung-updates.com your warranty WILL NOT be void. Just make sure you get it through that site only.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Steve One:

how come some of the APK's around APKMIRROR are strictly for 9.0+, while some other around have 8.0+ support? I am confused because i noticed that the latest APK for Samsung Experience/One UI is on .358 is strictly 9.0, where as the APK .355 RSLPride shared supports 8.0? Are these being back-ported?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
I was curious about this for a while too. I don't really know why this is, but I'm assuming it's just because some apps use features yet to be released on older versions of android, while other apps, say messages, doesn't use anything exclusive to pie yet. Maybe it depends solely on what device/version the app was tested and verified to work on.

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

It's a known bug. Not much you can do about it. If I had access to other devices right now I would look further into the problem but I've given them all to siblings for the time being. I would suggest just sticking with the normal contacts app for now to keep bugs to a minimum. The more problems there are the more it impacts your system and battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thebestvideoeditor:
I have customized my Galaxy Note 8 so much trough Substratum, that I don't even want to have OneUI, as it doesn't look better than my custom.

About this navbar app, we are talking about convenience, look and display estate usage.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dj_iiml:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FilipinoPride:
Yeah. Especially since we'll lose data if we have to flash back. I've also been wondering if flashing back would even re enable OTAs. Maybe we'll get a DRL5/6 to Official Release package. Are you on DRL6?

Yes, that's good news for you but not for those who will not be able to participate officially as they have to flash via Odin unless they are fine with flashing files and all.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dj_iiml:
Oops forgot it was limited to few countries.

Although I think official one ui would be available by early Feb so it's just few days of beta use and early fun:laugh:
