Can i ask is there any new update?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
Its ready I just haven't bothered to upload it yet. Expect it today or tomorrow due to my slow internet.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] yukixoma:
Thank you very much.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
New release is up! Download from here: https://github.com/GPUCode/OTA/releases/tag/v7.8

NOTE: Please avoid flashing Nikgapps as it has been reported to cause crashes in the power menu. Prefer OpenGapps or Flamegapps until the bug in Nikgapps is fixed

New features:

July 2021 security patch

Switch to latest A1N blobs and bump vendor SP to May 2021

Improved UI performance

Introduce IORap prefetcher for faster app launching times

Drop deprecated soundtrigger HAL for HotwordEnrollment

Fix IMS on SIM 2

Fix NFC functionality

Switch to A11 AIDL power HAL

AdaptLaunch feature (up to 20% GPU performance uplift)

Upgraded atomix kernel with many features

Drop non working prebuilts

Include optimized thermal configuration
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
Anything is possible with Magisk and root. I agree dropping the resolution is very useful and I also did it when my device was running the stock ROM. You could try flashing crdroid and test out if it works there or not. However, I have implemented EAS and AdaptLaunch features in the ROM which alongside the modded thermal configs increase performance while decreasing throttling and heat output to the point where I kept the resolution at 1440p. But you should try on your own to be sure.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rashazad:
On umod 4.4.275?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
I didn't understand your question. crDroid still comes with atomix as the default kernel (we tried umod but it has problems when built inline with a ROM). Atomix has a cleaner base and A11 CAF tag which makes it compatible with the A11 build system. With this release I tried to port as many umod features as I could to atomix. Right now I would say 60-70% of umod functionality is ported.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] yukixoma:
Thank you for new release!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rashazad:
Nice... Is frequency always on high fixed in Atomix?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] yukixoma:
Don't use OpenGapps, it caused my phone stuck at boot-up screen (crDroid logo screen).

I just flashed new build last night, and my phone lost 30% battery overnight (in idle). Please help.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
Testers reported 1% power consumption per hour so the behavior you are experiencing is definitely strange. Please provide a boot and run log if you want the issue investigated. (Let the run log run of at least 5 minutes)

can i update to the latest version by using OTA update center in Settings??
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Killer200120:
Hello, everything was successful and everything works. Even managed to make google pay work. unfortunately, I cannot send any messages. But I can receive. I tried to search for the SMSC solution but that didn't work. I think it doesn't want to show my phone number. Any ideas? The solution was a new SIM card. Still don't understand why tho because in other phones the card worked just fine.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] grfdbg:
gooo job, hope update it to fix all bugs, thanks a lot.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Killer200120:
Probably fixed it. It was the prefered network type(frequencies). It was so easy yet I didn't think of it... -_-

Note I'm in EU. The problem was the SIM card for some reason.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] baokhuongvo:
definitely true, i tried to flash OpenGapps at first but it stucked at bootscreen no matter what. Then I tried again with Nikkapps and it worked. Now everything is going smoothly as expected.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] yukixoma:
This is my phone's log file. I used default boot and FlameGapps (basic package). My phone is TA-1004. I noticed that my phone battery drop down very fast in very first 30%, but when it reach 70%, battery losing speed seem to be slow down. Please help.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Sid@99:
Hi, i flashed rom yesterday. Everything seems to work fine till now except one issue. Whenever I connect to bluetooth headset, I can't hear anything on phone calls. Whatsapp calls work fine but they don't work on phone calls. Any help??..
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rashazad:
I was quite satisfied with rom. nice job. It was really smooth and everything I tested in settings were bug free, But:

I experienced sensible heating during initial setups after flashing. Also noticed error "8 ... is less than expected" being shown many times in the log. Additionally, having control over buttons backlight (like early versions of lineage) could be helpful. I was unable to find "vanced manager" as it's mentioned to be included. I flashed google keyboard (without any kind of gapps), which expectedly didn't work. Then I flashed nikgapps core. But the phone kept rebooting to recovery.

Thanks, and stay safe.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Dibra:
First of all, thanks emufan for this new version. Unfortunately i can confirm that the bug in the dialer is still there (also in 7.6). It is impossible to use the phone in my car in a handsfree setting. In mycase Signal calling works also fine.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TlalocC:
hello, in the last update (7.8) the videos are distorted and the colors reversed, this happens in a few videos (I imagine it may be some video codec), this was presented on FB and ali
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Killer200120:
Hello, after few days of using this ROM I'd like to report these:

- Downloaded the original Nokia camera, PIP (picture in picture) mode doesn't work (that may be because of the version(91.10.0010.60) of the camera app. If You have any tips on which version should I download I'd be glad. Solution: https://xdaforums.com/t/nokia-camera-mod.3913928/

- I've noticed that in this ROM using a Phone case with a magnetic screen lock doesn't work. The phone won't show lock-screen nor lock the phone when I close the case. Note that it has nothing to do with the proximity sensor.

- Network Frequency problem I was troubleshooting a few days ago here isn't quite fixed. I need to do more testing, but I think there is some issue with the actual settings. This ROM probably instead of letting the phone pick the right frequency for certain services just forces the wrong ones. *I'll try to get a new SIM card to see if it solves the issue. However, it started only with this ROM. The SIM card works in other phones and when I use a different SIM in mine it works too. Not sure what might be the problem. Got a new SIM card and that solved it. However, still don't understand how when it worked in other phones just fine.

- How yukixoma already mentioned here, I think the battery drain may be truly faster. (I'd love to post Boot and Run logs, but I do not know where to get them, looked in TWRP, phone settings, couldn't find them. Sorry, this is my first time...) *Repaired my display and the battery drain seems fixed. Sorry for the false information.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Killer200120:
Alright, I did a small timetable yesterday. Sorry that it's not at the same intervals. However, you can notice approx. 20% decrease in 2 hours. The whole time phone was just locked and connected to wifi, with occasionally looking at the % ofc.

23:50 - 100%

00:28 - 92%

00:40 - 90%

01:10 - 86%

01:50 - 81%

04:02 - 65%

16:00 - DEAD

*As it seems battery drain was apparently just a problem of my broken screen. I thought so but still had to confirm it.

If you have Magisk installed try this module: https://xdaforums.com/t/module-opengl-skia-as-default-renderer.3919892/
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] yukixoma:
Use MatLog (it's installed by default in your phone) to get system log. If you don't flash any custom Boot so I think your phone is using default Boot.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TlalocC:
It worked! But the videos in YT at 1080 60fps go with lag, also it does not enable me the options to see in higher resolution (2k).
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
This is mostly a hack that forces Android to use the more stable OpenGL rendering backend. I don't see how it would affect YouTube resolution options. But yeah the lag is an ongoing issue.

any fix for the bluetooth calling issue??
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] docentore:
Hey all.

First of all thanks to @emufan4568 for fantastic work. 2 things found, not sure if both were mentioned, first one for sure but not sure if in this way.

1. BT audio - when answering phone on the headset while having any audio bt device connected (might be smart watch like in my case) causes no sound on the headset. When BT is off - all fine.

2. I cannot connect with any device to hotspot when WPA2 is used. With no security hotspot works fine.

If this was mentioned before - sorry for repeating, if I can help in any way, with logs testing etc please let me know :)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Killer200120:
Ok, so it looks like this is my only issue so far. Solved all of the others.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rashazad:
Finally found that FlameGapps should be installed by OrangeFox, not TWRP... Also only basic version works.

Applying Magisk from OFRecovery made the phone get stock.

[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Nafees92:
Plz upload a video .. I want to intstall it on my Nokia 8

Fed up of android 9 ..
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Killer200120:
Noticed this problem too, YouTube and messenger work fine. However, when I try to open a video internally with a Google app or Messengers inbuilt browser it'll result in the same problem.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Killer200120:
Another thing is that I finally figured out why I thought vibrations don't work. They work however they are really weak. After using this ROM for already like 2 weeks I almost never noticed any notifications nor calls because of how weak they are. With stock ROM there was almost never a time I hadn't notice a notification and I always used only vibrations. Now I have to use sounds to even notice that someone is calling me. Is it possible that for some reason this ROM just doesn't use the vibrations on the max setting?

Note that I use a case, but I've used it for already 2 years with stock ROM.

And while replacing my broken screen somewhat fixed my battery drain, I still have a small feeling that it may still be a small issue. I find myself using "battery saver" permanently so that the phone would last at least a bit similar to what it used to. Remember it's just a feeling and it may be just a dumb placebo, but just in case here are again log files from MatLog. Plus I will do some more testing and edit this post later.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rashazad:
So far, everything works fine except:

- Battery drain is too high for normal use (sleep mode has a really sufficient drainage). Consequently, phone gets very very hot.

- Double tap for wake up cannot be disabled.

- Bluetooth device (car) does not connect.

- There is no option for controlling buttons backlight.

I couldn't manage to have both root and recovery. Rooting needs kernel (extracted from payload.bin). Installing recovery on rooted kernel, revokes root. Then it's not possible to root again because there is no magisk-enabled kernel file (enabling magisk from recovery, puts the phone in reboot).

To be mentioned, I replaced all stock apps with google versions (except few).
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Killer200120:
I can agree on the double-tap, actually completely forgot about that.

Miss that backlight option too. Another option I'm missing is that I cannot actually disable the hardware buttons, if I'm correct it was possible in stock.

I think I have a Root and Recovery just fine. Altho I installed Magisk with just APK of it in Recovery because the other way seems just too complex and dumb for it. (Ye ye I know there might be some issues with it but I didn't have any.)

Used FlameGapps Full.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rashazad:
Strangely I get bootloops applying magisk from recovery (do you have any suggestions?). Also Flamegapps full makes bootloop too, so I used basic version (modified it to prevent installing apks like digital well being and stuff).
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Killer200120:
Well tbh, when I was installing this ROM for the first time I didn't really know what I was doing and didn't have the PDF file with instructions (Tbh I still think installing sh*t on Android is true cancer, I'd compare it to doing anything with a broken printer). So at first I actually installed it with just TWRP and the wrong FlameGapps package, strangely enough, everything worked just fine. Then I realised I was supposed to install OrangeFox and a different FlameGapps package. So all I did was just flashing OrangeFox according to the PDF manual and then, correct FlameGapps and flashed again APK package of Magisk. Everything turned out well again. I guess I'm just lucky. 😅

Just in case I can post my ZIP of files I used if it's allowed here on the forums, just let me know.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rashazad:
It looks that every one of us has personal files combined with person-specific method for installing!

I get what you have done there. So don't bother yourself posting files. Thanks for reply.

Can you make it possible to take pictures with a black and white camera? And it turns out only on the stock firmware it is possible = (

Spoiler content hidden.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rashazad:
In the latest version, it is possible to choose monochrome camera, as mentioned in the changelog.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] artem3233:
Thanks!!

I checked the firmware, everything works well.

The only thing I noticed is that you cannot change the menu of the power button. What did not try to change everything remains the same, and sometimes because of this, the system interface crashes.

Any news about updates?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
The device tree is currently being rewritten. I started the rewrite last month and it currently is 90% complete. This will make the ROM faster and more bug-free. The new tree includes, for example, support for Bluetooth calls and aptX audio over Bluetooth, FM radio and the choppy video bug is fixed too. Also, I finally fixed my device so development can continue at a normal pace (1 or 2 builds every month, instead of the current 1 build every 2 months, developing without a working device was a lot harder).

I'm also rewriting T-Virus as a script to remove the dependency on NOST, make it cross-platform and safer/quicker to install.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] itsmemario:
Im back after a long vacation, but I still have my Nokia 8.

Interesting times (threads) and I guess this ROM will be my choice, now that I read its beeing rewritten.

Looking back at 2013 and my random flashes beeing done years ago, I feel like beeing a noob again. :)

T-Virus, Treble, OrangeFox, NOST...ooof....IM ready to brick (again)! ;D
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] yukixoma:
Is there any fixed for battery drain issue?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
The new rewrite has many power-saving features implemented (properly this time). Atomix (the built-in kernel) has also been fixed to not get stuck on higher frequencies. Generally, the battery life is a lot better than before (some alphas reported 0.7%/h idle drain which is pretty good). But it needs more testing though to confirm.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rashazad:
Actually the idle battery drain was pretty good in last release. High drain was for working time, which caused the phone temperature to raise significantly.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] techno_man000:
@emufan4568 I am sure you will make it... Thanks to your effort, this phone has taken a breath. Your build is good, okay but in some aspects, it needs some effort over it. For example, mic quality doesn't seem okay, it is not clear on callings. I hope you will make it done.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
Audio is a big part of the rewrite. I have a dedicated tester now just to test audio cases. A lot of audio bugs in the previous tree have been fixed. Audio though will never be 100% perfect because Nokia screwed over the audio HAL. But it's getting pretty close.

Hi, im gratefull for your work at this rom. Thank you, i still have this Nokia 8.

I have installed the newest Version 7.8 since it came out.

So i read close to all bugs mencioned here in this thread.

I found some strange behavours:

1- Using Telegram and making a photo, freezes the app. Also after 5-10 minutes Video conferences.

2- Sometimes Screen Rotation does not work. The only workaround was restart mobile.

3- Screen Auto Brightnes resets automatically: adjust bar (little sun) goes to minimum and i have never settet it like this. At the stock ROM it rememberet my Day-Setting and Night-Setting.

4- Youtube videos in default Webbrowser are Green. In youtube App all is right.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
I'm aware of most of those bugs. The current tree has many problems because when I started writing it I didn't have any experience and it was messy. Since then all released were just pilling features on top of that broken base. The new rewrite has just entered beta testing and should come out this month. It should fix all of the above issues.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CitizenZer0:
Looking forward to the newest update!

It's nice to see that this phone is getting some love from the community after Nokia abandoning it.

Many thanks for your dedication!

Anyone using the latest version of crDroid had any issues with the GPS/Compass?

It was a known issue of Nokia 8.

Thanks in advance.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Aron1000:
I had no trouble with this apps:

Wikiloc

Google maps

Komoot

Do you have issues with some app and gps?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CitizenZer0:
My Nokia 8 is on stock OS but I'm thinking on trying crDroid on the next release.

Since I bought the phone, I haven't been able to calibrate the compass. So, I would like to know if it was fixed.

Many thanks!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Aron1000:
I had no issues with compass with my Nokia 8. Neither stock nor with the actual cdroid.

So i dont know if it will fix your problem. But maybe its worth to try the new release.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] CitizenZer0:
Well, I'm experiencing exactly what was posted on the Nokia forums.

Compass not working since Pie

Hi all, since the Pie Update, the compass in my Nokia 8 shows every direction except North - anyone else with this problem?!

community.phones.nokia.com

It's a very weird bug. Hopefully it was fixed in the meantime.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ferramenta:
Hello. I did not have exactly your problem. But terrible GPS and compass functionality overall. My Waze and gmaps was running very faulty for about a year and by the end not at all. What fixed it for me finally was installing a full version of the latest Gapps. Not those smaller versions like Pico or nano. But the full one that is around 700mb. I m not any kind of expert but I don't think you can install the latest Gapps without a recent ROM like this one.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Hoccane:
Hello developer, I'm also facing compass calibration issues in Nokia 8 on Stock Rom since Pie update, even downgrading to Oreo didn't fix the issue, hopefully your custom ROM will fix it.

Will never buy any Nokia phone in future!

Is there a new build?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
There have been some very interesting developments that I will post about today. So stay tuned.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] emufan4568:
As you all know crDroid updates have been put on hold for the few months. That was for a good reason though as the device tree was being rewritten. Now that the work has been finished, we bring you some good news; our first official AncientOS build for the NB1.

This ROM will replace crDroid and is insanely feature packed.

The build will be official, going forward OTAs should be possible and regularly updated.

The ROM is SElinux enforcing and encrypted, which means now everything should pass safety checks.

Power effieciency has been massively improved (0.7%/h idle, 9 hours SOT achievable)

And before you wonder about OrangeFox, it will be dropped as TWRP works better with decryption, only way to get enforcing working for now, and is easier to maintain. Also TWRP will become official in the near future. Moving from crDroid to AncientOS will require formatting data but that is a small one-time price to pay for monthly OTA updates, isn't it?

Also going forward umbrella-mod will be deprecated in favor of atomix. Most of it's features will be incorporated into atomix including performance improvements. The XDA thread will come shortly (probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow after a test run has been completed). Thanks for your patience.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rashazad:
Great effort put on the project. Awesome.

I need to mention that for recovery, every release of the rom requires its own recovery since the relevent kernel is included in the recovery flash file. We did not have recovery updated for new releases and that made, for example, magisk rooting out of sync (regarding kernel).
