Ok the basic and easy way to understand this is, thst you are restoring the ROM. Except you are wiping data so you can have a fresh start. So unzip the ROM (basically the folder). Then move the folder to your TWRP folder which in my case is TWRP/backups/988a1b35434255384d30/. The set of numbers at the end will be different for everyone but place the ROM folder in the last directory. The reason I ask you to make a backup of boot is so the final folder directory is created because it isnt there by default. You do not RESTORE the boot img backup you create any point or time. The unfortunate fact is that making a flashable zip is not easy, which is why I released it as a restorable ROM. Sorry for the delays, hope y'all enjoy the ROM!

Everyone, if you need assistance come to my new telgram group. I will help you when I can with any problem and feel free to ask me any questions! :https://t.me/joinchat/G-BflEMjGlgp1NeWxDA2bA

I got it installed, so what I did was I unzipped the ROM into the twrp folder that contained the boot image I just backed up. I then wiped and restored.

GREAT JOB,. This ROM is finer than frog hair!

Pretty fluid and fast.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] pvillasuso:
great rom , superfast and fluid ,

Im in love with my note 8 again

Thank you so much [MENTION=7243932]Skulldron[/MENTION] , nice xmas gift :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
Well obviously duh XD. I will probably make version 2 with One UI and ever since Samsung changed their Ui it looks very close to stock, especially the notification panel, so I will probably do this again. Just remember though that this takes a very long time, mainly due to the amount of crapware and heavy deep debloat I have to do everytime. I've had to individually inspect and remove permissions because some apps framework still started up in the background and THAT ANNOYED ME. So everyone please hit that thanks button it really helps and also once again, Merry Xmas everyone ?

Why use flashed vanced? this issue is from flashed vanced youtube and this is clearly your fault not roms ... I use the vanced youtube too. Just download the normal apk for the rooted devicecs from official vanced site. Works great to me. Dont flash into the phone every junk flashed zip file who download from internet guys. Flashing is dangerous. If you can find the app without flash any zip. Is the best way to install an app into the phone. Dont restore flashed apps is ussless and bad for the phone. The app will fail to load 100% dont expect to work correct your steps is wrong. No flashing like this.

The first impressions is great to battery life. But after 5 days i know clearly how the rom and the battery is going. Many note 8 roms after some days with full usage starts a very bad drain and all we know that. Hope pixel rom no have this bad issues from the other roms. Keep the good work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
If the device runs the Exynos 8895 then yes you can flash it. THIS DOES NOT WORK ON SNAPDRAGON DEVICES.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jhr5474:
For the record, I installed youtube Vanced on this rom and used MicroG. I had a few issues at first but as soon as I uninstalled the updates from youtube it installed fine. Used it last night. Anyways, its doable

Thank you for the great Rom.

Question:

I flashed detonator csc tmobile to get WiFi calling but that didn't work it caused force close. Any suggestions how to change csc?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
Ok, this is my last time commenting on this. Almost all Samsung Features are gone! Edge Lighting, Samsung Cloud,Samsung Notes basically anything eith the word "Samsung" has been removed. The only exceptions to this rule is Always On Display and Blue Light Filter, because they can't be replaced by the Google alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] y0000:
Guys the rom is debloated. If any need back the samsung and the google apps is free to install the missing apps manualy. More debloated rom more better battery life and more better response. Note8 and Note9 have many usless apps and services who give big drain to the users.

Hi guys, one question, why share a recovery backup and don't share a rom zip like the developers do all the time? Where is the file that was installed to allow the backup?

Longer Answer: Gallery must never be updated or it will crash.

does this version of GCAM has a functioning night sight mode ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
Night Sight only began on Android Pie onwards and this is an Oreo ROM so nope.

Someone should make a review on YouTube for this ROM.. I really wanna test it, specially because of the Stereo Mod, but I'm scared to screw up my phone.

For exinos or snapdragon Note8?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Raviochoudhary:
Can we use S pen, s health and galaxy wearable app with this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Senichan:
Exinos (N950F etc)

S-Pen works great. I Think the S Health and G.W. App should work fine too. The "Samsung Engine" (Samsung Framework? dont now, the Samsung thing) is installed. this is NOT AOSP.

What you can more remove to get it closer to a Pixel 2:

-The Samsung Kamera. You can reach it when you double klick the Powerbutton.

-Samsung Gallery

-Samsung Push Service

I have tried the ROM now for one day and i thing i will stay on it. After the first boot it was really slow or and buggy. But it is able to set the device up. After a Second reboot my Note8 RUNS FAST AS FUP.

I have killed some Samsung Apps with the app: App Quarantine ROOT/FREEZE (the Kamera, Gallery and Samsung Push Service)

The battery drain is very good. The UI is fast as fup. The Camera makes great Pictures! And it seems to be every Camera function is working.

VERY NICE ROM. I have waited looooong for AOSP. And this is the perfect alternative Rom. No Samsung Crap but a nice Samsung Device. Love it!

At least i have a question: Is there a way to switch the Camera in the GCAM App? I dont mean between front and back. I mean beetwen the two backside cameras of the note 8.

GREEEETS AND THANKS FOR THE ROM !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] elnino909:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Hjadoon3:
Does the S-Pen still work with any of its features ?

Does the google camera work properly ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ginosaure:
Hello. Really great rom thank you very much. S-pen works in action memo and S note for me (penocle too :D). Google camera works but It is not up to date. I use last gcam Idan.3.8 fix.

Just need edge panel and all is good. (With edge action app it's perfect now). Smooth battery

Will Bank and Netflix applications work on this Routed ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
I'm not sure of either, but banking works as long as you use Google Pay, and Netflix may or may not run considering the ROM does pass SafetyNet
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] y0000:
I use the Pixel camera for a 3 days and looks much better than samsung. The HDR+ Enchanted is clearly much better than Samsung Auto Mode and Pro Mode. Better colors and much better details in low light with HDR On. Great camera for low light and sunny day. I dont go back to samsung. I will give a try to a night pictures soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] caniranges:
Welll, its absolutrly wonderful. If you have flashed more than 5 different roms before in your life on any phone and if your phone is rooted with TWRP, you have nothing to fear.

If you dont have the experience but at least your phone is rooted with magisk and TWRP, you definitely have what it takes to handle any issues, because you could always go to recovery(TWRP), wipe and flash another rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Sineastra:
****in epic ROM. Lol. Amazing but I have one biiiiiigggggg problem. Optical zoom. Where, how. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Amaranth`:
Yes the camera is much better than samsungs camera. But the pixel have the Night Sight mode. I dont know if is possible the Night Sight for our note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mafijas:
After few days can anybody share battery management?

Screen on time?

Real Day usage?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
Well according to most users on my telegram group, you can expect around 6-7 hours of SOT with light-heavy usage, but if you push the limits and underclock everything... you'll be looking at 10 hours SOT XD.

Also umm optical zoom is there in stock cam app only, 2x button above the live focus button

ALSO: Youtube Video showcase is on the thread right now. It is Spanish and was made by another user of my ROM. I might make one soon, to showcase everything but, I have been a little ill lately so it does depend.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] petzku:
Just normal use, youtube, social media, chrome browsing, no gaming. +30h off the charger with 6h sot. So standby battery drain is minimal out of the box too. No tweaking no nothing. And to be noted my phone is 1year and 4months old, I got it right after release date. So the battery is holding up nicely.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Amaranth`:
Battery is great. Speed is great. Camera much better than stock Samsung. Keep the good work. My stats is about 9-10 hours. Full debloat, no crap apps like FB,Snapchat,Skype, and phantom kernel last version with my settings. Hope will see android 9 with pixel rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] petzku:

5 months for a rom is to long. I will buy the Note 10 August or September hahah
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sinkoo1979:
how to get the battery stats on the phone? Device maintenance option missing in settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] petzku:
Its in the op. Please always read the OP first.

"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."
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
First off, buy me one ;). Second off, I'll probably start building Pixel Pie after March or April for three reasons:

1. I want to actually try One UI and see how it is XD. I mean it is an overhaul in design so might be worth checking out once.

2. I will have to make a list of major modifications done and all the additional bloat and features added etc.

3. Around April Sammy would have usually released at least one performance/bug fixes update so might be start then, because even Pixel Oreo ROM is running the 4th generation of Samsung Experience Oreo, and I don't want my users to be running the buggiest version of my ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Amaranth`:
I agree with you agood rom needs time. And fixes and many more. Pixels rom is awesome. All of us we can wait.

Will it be updated in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
Ok so since this is the last time I will post here on this forum in 2018, and before I pull a "It's been a year since we last talked" joke, I'm going to list the series of events that will take place, and the future of Pixel ROM

1. January 1st - February 28th - You guys can message me on the telegram group of any bugs that currently exist on Pixel Oreo, and also of any new features you would like to see added (Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 Only). However, after the February 28th, my support for Pixel Oreo will drop significantly, since I will shift my focus to OneUI.

2. March 1st - April 10th - This will be a mainly learning period for me. It will certainly take a significant amount of time for me to learn the massive amount of modification that OneUi has made, all the framework edits and the new or old bloat that was added. I will take a month of getting familiar with OneUI while also waiting the additional month for Samsung to release at least one bugfix/performance update.

3. April 15th - April 20th - This is probably the date all of you have been looking forward for, this is the time where I will begin working on Pixel Pie V1. I will probably have a seperate thread, all new Google framework mods etc, and of course the same amount of optimization as you see now.

Target Date of Initial Release: April 20th Midnight or April 21st Morning.

Now things may be subject to change, and I say this because I know my patience is limited XD, so I might start working on Pixel Pie early, which if it does happen, well better for us all. But for now Pixel Oreo is where I shall stay. Thankyou all for your lovely support and I wish you a Happy New Year and a Good 2019 ahead!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Senichan:
That's sounds awesome! I wish you all a Happy New year, too. We hear us in the telegram group. [emoji483][emoji898][emoji322][emoji323]

galaxy note function

hello, first I wish you a great new year.

please I would like to know if the function (when you want to write a text with the s-pen this little shortcut) presented in the image is available on this rom (see attached file). If not, how to have it or activate it.

A big thank you for your time
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
Ok Question 1. What does pressing that button do?

Question 2. What app does it use?

The ROM does have the bubble icon which you showed in the screenshot, which means that part of the framework is still alive, but the app is definitely not there. So answer the two questions above and I'll give you an answer.

In my experience, the popup for handwriting recognition mentioned a few posts ago is tied to Samsung Keyboard. If you disable that, you lose handwriting recognition.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
Oh, if its only related to Samsung Keyboard then just install the latest version of Samsung Keyboard for arm64.

And about VoLTE: I'm unsure of how to work with CSC atm so you'll have to wait on that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] neo_v01:
1- when I press the button I can write handwritten with my stylus.

2- any application where there is an input field.

the function that I'm showing comes from a stock ROM

I hope I have been satisfied. can I have an answer?

Sorry for my Bad english

after first day Reveiw

Great Rom With a lot potential.

here's some suggestion based on first day use with this rom and it's just my opinion:

- I think it would be better to put optional of adding some features of stock rom like air pen features, (after all it's a note smart phone)

- me personally enjoys a lot of stock Samsung Music application and i just feel it's absence in this rom.

- Google camera 8.3b is no stable camera for daily usage at all, i have a long history of using this application, sometimes photos will not be saved, some times file corruption,etc.

- by the way having multiple option for launchers is highly suggested since the current launcher lacks of any customization of modification.

- the absence of Pixel 2XL Android P Live Wallpapers feels a lot

- sometimes I will turn of my fast charging for wireless or cable, but it seems users will not be able to do it in this Rom.

- music application keeps getting ANR at the beginning and wizard.

by the way link of Telegram group is not working.

again thanks for this great Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Skulldron:
Hello! I'm glad you enjoyed the ROM. A few notes kn what you said however:

1. Yes, I am considering for the next iteration of Pixel Pie to have some of the S-Pen features.

2. The stock Samsung Music app can still be downloaded from the Play Store with everything working don't worry :).

3. Yes, I know Google Camera isn't stable, but when ut does work, it takes quite amazing shots. But I have included stock Samsung Camera for daily use!

4. Ok the reason the current launcher lacks customization is because it is the actual stock Pixel 2 launcher XD. If you need another one you can always install it via an apk.

5. I know about Pixel Live Wallpapers. It was originally part of this ROM too btw, but I later removed it to reduce the ROM size by around 150mb. However, as it appears that this hasnt affected performance in anyway, it will be there on the next build of Pixel ROM!

6. To do this read the OP. You have to add the battery toggle from system ui icons on the notification panel as it is the only way to view battery stats etc now.

7. Ok, genuine bug from Eleven Music XD.

I hope I have answered your questions and the telegram link is working, I just checked.
