[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
Pixel 1.3: Oreo Speciale!

After months of hardwork, debloating and experimenting, I can finally present to all you lovely people on XDA, Pixel ROM. This is by far the most debloated, lightest and Pixelified ROM for the Note 8 right now. This ROM has (according to me) the best battery life for a ROM til' this day. I've spent hours upon hours on optimizing this ROM and debloated, to the point where removing anything else will break things. Here's a feature list!

Features of Pixel ROM

1. Google Calculator

2. Google Phone

3. Google Calendar

4. GCam 8.3: Everything Working

5. Google Chrome (Samsung Add-ons Removed)

6. Google Clock

7. Google Contacts

8. Google Files GO

9. Gallery (Modded)

10. G-mail

11. Google Keep

12. Google Lens (Works in Google Photos too!)

13. Google Maps

14. Google Messages

15. Eleven Music (Lineage)

16. Soundalive and AudioFX (Lineage)

17. Google Photos: Pixel configurations applied, unlimited storage pop up occurs but do not set to original because Google found out about this.

18. Google Play Games

19. LineageOS Recorder

20. Modified Settings and removed all useless and resource consuming features.

21. Updated AOD

22. System UI Tuner: Change animation speeds and customize as much as you need with this

23. Youtube

24. Google PAY (I forgot to write this XD)

25. Google Pixel Bootanimations

26. Google sounds, tweaks etc. I DON'T REMEMBER THEM ALL XD

27. Stereo Sound Mod and Values adjusted for Balance

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

V1.3 Changelog:

1. Fixed Safetynet and updated Phantom Kernel to latest.

2. Minor errors fixed.

Friends this is the last time I'll be working on Oreo. It has been

a pleasure, but we must move on to Pie. Thank you for all the support and a special thank you to @rohitdanda for all the help.

I shall see you on Pixel Pie!

Notes:

1. RAM management usually idles (on first flash) at around 3.8 GB free.

2. Total ROM size after unzipped is 2.6GB from 4.8GB STOCK!

3. Device Maintenance was removed in exchange for Files Go and System UI tuner. To access battery stats, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.

4. The only theme engine that will work with this ROM is Substratum as Samsung Themes was removed.

5. Thanks to @ProtoDeVNan0 for the custom system UI animations! He is really epic.

6. The latest Phantom Kernel was used and also the latest Stock base so Performance is epic.

7. Please flash the ROM :)

8. After first boot, make sure you restart your device once.

Bugs: 26/01/2019

Gallery must NEVER be updated (disable autoupdate for Gallery in Play Store). If it did update and the icon become the Samsung Gallery one, goto Settings/apps/Gallery and on the top right corner there will be 3 buttons, which when clicked gives the option to uninstall updates for the app.

Youtube Review:

Special thanks to Geovanny Fernandez on that
