Thank you @Ivan_Meler for your hard work.

I'm on LineageOS 17.1 currently & I think I will move to your room soon.

I'm experiencing some freezes with 17.1 , mostly with the cam.

Is the 18 free of freezes ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Blubber120:
No freezes here yet. On it since about 48 hours
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gummz:
Noticed this too. Amazing idle battery life, but goes down quickly, even when just using the home screen.

Fantastic work man, thank you ñ
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Magnuss85:
Thank you @Ivan_Meler for this rom.

I will root my s8 and install it soon, when i got time.

It must be amazing and i will give a feedback. I hope future updates and community back the bugs. Thanks all ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Dennis Kovalenko:
Hi, I've recently installed your ROM, and everything's great except some minor things. But there's a bug regarding gapps, haven't seen it on other ROMs, so I suppose you can help. Google Play Services are constantly asking for sms permissions, and when I try to allow, it just doesn't apply. Generally, Google SMS couldn't get this permission too, but somehow it managed to gain it Can we count on a fix? Аlthough, great ROM, thanks for the job
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Kizoky:
So I installed this about a week ago, and I'm really impressed

The only issue I'm having is the phone draining the battery really fast when the screen is on

(I tried to set CPU clocks manually to the lowest to see if that would fix it but nope)

Idle battery life is amazing
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Snowers96:
Hi! How is the camera here?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
Honestly battery is mostly affected by the fact HWC is disabled (rom would also be smoother with it enabled) its currently one of my main concerns on todo list, but android 12 will also release in a few days so things might improve there which would be great
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] barkeeper69:
Problems with Galaxy Wearable App looks here Galaxy Wearable App on Rooted Phone Help:)

and thanks for this wonderful rom..!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] barkeeper69:
Camera runs great, today I had a camera crash. I don't know why yet, but after a restart everything was ok again. That was first after 14 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] barkeeper69:
I have flash it with OpenGAPPS and no Problems with Goggle.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] CoPiSsa:
Yes. android 12 is better to work on it even if it take some time ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
Some progress updates on android 12, I got it compiled and while it does try to start kernel needs a lot of backports for cgroup to not kill processes and actually work, this will take some time but progress is steadily being made, Once again no etas yet as i do this in my free time
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Killer_Instinct:
@Ivan_Meler I appreciate your work immensely. Thank you for picking up these devices and giving a new life to them. I intend to contribute as soon as I can. You are awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] CoPiSsa:

Translated by GT: Hi, sorry which one should I download for S8?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ksant0s:
Download zip file labeled with dreamlte for S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] eletricman77:
ciao si ho appena scaricato quello e installato, ma ho un problema, non mi piace il play store, non capisco il motivo, potete aiutarmi?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ksant0s:

Does DEX work?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] eletricman77:
Ssa la mia ignoranza a riguardo ,cos'è Dex?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] eletricman77:
excuse my ignorance what is Dex?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
Guess i should post some progress updats on android 12, Kernel work is finished (Merged latest upstream and 12+ pages of cgroup and bpf backports)

still need to finish up some device tree side changes but there are too many of them this time around after that and a bit of testing build should be ready (Still cant talk about etas as unexpected things can happen and i work on this in my free time so it all depends on my schedule)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kbarni:
No, DEX works only with Samsung based ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] tedipower:
samsung dex - Google Search
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ksant0s:
Use gapps instead of microg. There are few custom gapps like NikGapps, BiTGApps and Flamegapps. You can use any of those.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] enq:
Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] eletricman77:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Bork Bork:
Is HWC being disabled related to the device not sometimes wanting to charge unless you reboot? And if so, would a wireless charger solve the issue for the time being?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sbappi:
If we enable HWC, we can't rotate the screen. As soon as you rotate the phone reboots

Please, if anyone can help me!

What would you recommend Project Sakura or LOS 18.1 considering stability and performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sirfnomi:
Don't know about Sakura but Los 18.1 is smooth and stable
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] charlie2806:
já do not work Led Notification. Can anyone advise please?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] andrueastman:
From my experience, LOS 18.1 is smooth and stable (and Wifi hotspot is working).

Also, LOS 18.1 has been getting security updates but we haven't seen updates from Sakura for a minute. (Thanks @Ivan_Meler)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] aliamjadx:
Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] BerkeKan:
@Ivan_Meler, thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to this project. I really enjoy this ROM, but I have a few problems.

1. USB audio doesn't work. As far as I remember, I read that you fixed this in the Telegram group, but didn't apply the patch to the build. It would be great if you could solve this issue when you have time.

2. I want to try the app Wavelet, but it gives me this error: "Wavelet was unable to instantiate DynamicsProcessing effects"

I found a Github page related to this problem. If the problem is caused by the ROM, maybe the link can help you fix it.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] berrone:
Does the NFC work in this rom?

In the other Lineage-based roms the NFC did not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ksant0s:
Haven't tested it myself but as per changelog it should work. If it didn't work just grab log and post it here, Ivan will look into it when he is free.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] aliamjadx:
Does anybody else cannot access 8895 Development Group? It disappeared from my Telegram and now when I try to access it says Chat doesn't exist.

Can anyone help please
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
Here is a little teaser of a12 on s8

Builds for 8895 based devices are almost ready (I posted 8890/s7 builds yesterday) I just have to figure out race condition in ril which causes it to break randomly on reboot, when it comes to general usability everything else is as stable as it was previously and android 12 actually runs faster even on older devies like s7 and s8/n8

Builds should be up this week finally as this is last thing on todo list and i took a day off to figure it out
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sirfnomi:

Thank you for your work
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] BlaqqSL8:
Hi,

What's the position re: installing Magisk? Do we need to flash a patched Magisk image? or will installing the apk be good enough?

Also, when flashing TWRP 3.6.x, via Odin, will we also need to flash vbmeta.tar file at the same time?

Thanks in advance,

BlaqqSL8
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] raymond.riegel:

- Fixed internal audio recording in apps such as screen recorders

- removed unused rild service that was causing race condition on rare ocasions

Sorry for a bit of delay in this one, I spent quite a bit more time on android 12 to get things as stable as possible there so updated for 11 are bit later than usual

But here they finally are, Stay safe and enjoy the holidays
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] CasperSomeGhost:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mop09737:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] friscoboi:
I used to root a lot of phones until a few years ago. It was always very easy.

Now I can't even start: is this rom for 950F, too?

Why don't I find an instructions in all Roma how to flash? Is TWRP still used? Why can't I find a thread how to install TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sbappi:
Yes g950F is supported. I used this guide when I first rooted my s8 2 years ago.Link
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] pepper-jk:
Hi Ivan_Meler,

first of all thanks for all the hard work.

I was wondering, if the HWC was fixed.

It is still listed as not working in the original post, but during this thread you mentioned that you finished the todo list. However, I never saw it in the change logs. Just wanted to clarify.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:

Hey Ivan,

is it possible to dirtyflash your LOS 18 over currently installed LOS 17?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ksant0s:
No.

Always do clean install whenever you decide to change major android version.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
So here are some progress updates, This time about something that was bothering a lot of people.

So lets talk about camera which would stop working after prolonged use.. This issue has been bothering me for over 2 years now but it was one of trickiest issues to deal with as described here https://github.com/8890q/android_device_samsung_universal8890-common/issues/5

Reason why this was so tricky is because camera lib is completely blobbed and there is no source for it so it required some reverse engineering (a lot of it)

first time around we just removed all fd closes from lib which left file descriptors open and once there were too many camera would stop working.. Anyhow since i had a bit more time due to corona i was able to really invest that time into android and look into and finaly i got a solution that is not hacky and resolves issues with camera once and for all (Or as long as google doesnt decide to drastically change something again)

Anyhow camera wont be crashing after ~20 min of use anymore and you wont have to reboot phone to continue using it.

Once again big thanks for all donations that help cover the build server cost and that got me coffee (I really needed coffee to fight with android fdsan weirdness to fix this haha)

New build with camera fix implemented will be out in a few days together with february security update and few other bug fixes, This affects all of 7 and 8 series exynos devices (8890/8895)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
Here it is february security update with quite a few changes related to device stability, Including backported camera fix

here is a brief changelog

- Merged February 2022. Security update

- Fixed bug where camera would stop working after prolonged use due to file-descriptiors being left open and overflowing

- Fixed torch delay

- Fixed issues with camera auto focus locking up the camera

- Switched to half res boot anim which in turn gives us a slight boost in boot time

- Cleaned up gatekeeper rc files

- Removed arrow pointer (used for s-pen or mouse input) from non note8 builds and updated pointer for note8 build

- Cleaned up unneeded drm entries in hidl manifest

- Switched to source built librilutils

- Switched to source built libreference-ril

- Misc performance and stability improvements

- Synced with LOS source

Big thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped me cover the build server cost and got me coffee

Enjoy new build and stay safe

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Bork Bork:
Has anyone here experienced serious overheating when charging over 5W (as in 8-10W)? After feb patch I started experiencing heavy battery drain as well with no solution as to why, particularly in deep sleep. I'm already aware about hwc being disabled but this is something else.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sbappi:
I've noticed you've written something about fp,viberator and mic improvment in los19(12L) changelog. Are those changes specific to los19?

Will those changes be applied in ls18 too?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Mr_Kanister:
Although I have only been using the ROM for a few days, but no, even with fast-charging I did not notice this. And I haven't noticed the fast discharging (yet) either.

Greetings
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Bork Bork:
I have installed Gsam battery monitor since it gives a better picture, but my usage scenario lasts 48hrs and only then will know for sure. At first it seemed to have been something related to the radios but my reception is flawless for both wifi and lte.

Trying to logcat 48hrs (let alone 12-24hrs) of data is stretching it, especially considering it's an issue in both deep sleep and when the phone is being used.

Mind you I only noticed this with the feb patch. I have another device running LOS 18.1 that is updated monthly as well and it has no issues and is just as old (Xperia XZ1) that runs the same apps as a form of redundancy check among other things.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gabrielus39:
Has anyone else had issues with messaging apps? When using mobile data, notifications never come through. I've disabled battery optimizations for "signal messenger" and have also set it to use "unlimited data" in the settings, but it still doesn't notify me when I'm not on WiFi.

SMS works fine and as soon as I open the app the data messages sort of "catch up"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] :
With this rom (March 12 22) and a USB C Hdmi dock my audio goes out the phone speaker instead of the TV.. Is there some way to select the TV or is this a rom issue? It's my first time using Hdmi out on android... Thanks for the Rom everything else works great 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
April 2022. security update is out, here is a brief changelog

- Removed AudioFX which was breaking audio in some scenarios

- Synced with LOS source

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
Oh hey im actually aware of that, I need to find a proper way to log it and see why routing is acting like that on aosp, this is also the case on my other devices running aosp so it doesnt seem to be device specific but more of a fact aosp is unaware of proper routing. But thats def. something ill look into
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:

Enjoy new builds and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
here it is August security update

Nothing major in this one as i am still working behind the scenes on that huge update i talked about previously which involves rewrite of almost whole graphics and media stack (its almost finished but i still have to do a bit more testing just to make sure there is no regression)

(Im still waiting for a properly working s8/n8 listing to show up on ebay thats not overpriced so i can use it for testing as my s8 has messed up display and unfortunately import from UK turned out to be more expensive than s8 would be worth)

In other news android 13 should be released next month and since there were no major changes s8 and note8 should be running it soon after release with not too many issues and ill try to take a few days off from work to get it up and running on it once source is out

Once again huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, helped cover build server cost and got me coffee with donations.

This project wouldnt be alive without them as i do this in my free time as a hobby.
