July security update builds are up, here is a brief changelog

- Reverted some changes that caused previous ui performance regression

- Merged July 2022. Security update

- Synced with LineageOS source

There will be a lot mor e changes in near future as ill have my hands on working exynos 8895 device so testing will be way easier

There will also be 18.1 update next week with some backports of fixes from 19.1 and july security update

As always huge thanks to everyone who supported this project so far as it wouldnt be possible to keep it up without them

and keep s8/note8 alive and up to date, Donations help cover the build server cost and get me coffee which gets useful while figuring stuff out related to platform

Enjoy new builds and stay safe

So is HWC fixed? And thanks again for all your hard work! Been rockin this since the initial release
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] 099349613a5fbd51bd6237f13:
By revert, do you mean that the HWC HAL is disabled for now? If that's the case, that's too bad, but I'm glad you were able to get yourself a working device. Again, thanks so much for your work, it really means a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] vEnEr95:
THANKS A LOT HERE I am NOW WITH MY s8+ AND ANDROID 12 STABLE AND SMOOTH
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mtelleria:
Now seems that hwc is working fine, no lags.

Thanks a lot Ivan!

Hi i install lineage 19 and I install ANDRAX also , but vnc viewer do not show nothing. I have it before on lineage 18 and it work now it not. Have you any idea how to fix it? Thanks for help

SO there isn't any custom rom for china snapdragon variant?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jatcube:
I see what you mean now, especially in light of the new build.. it's just having been using Samsung's stock ROM for years now, Ivan's build even with the slight lag still felt smooth 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] jatcube:
Used easy DPI changer from app store. Actually only changed the resolution, which stopped phone from overheating in WhatsApp calls..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] alienflorina:
Hmm this is shaping up to be a great ROM for our beloved S8!

I would like to see selinux coming and maybe we can go linage official..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sirfnomi:
It is getting very hot without hwc in normal use, is there any hope for hwc back in near future builds?

How do i flash this into my phone's os? Do i just flash it using twrp or do i have to do something else
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Selimov:
everything is perfect, thanks a lot!

nfc doesnt works for me(

its active, no crashes, but its not scannig cards, not communicates with terminals(

sm-g950f , last rom release
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] user900:
yes first time with twrp then over-the-air (OTA) from update menu
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] SworDroids:
I don't have the latest update on my Note8 and NFC working normally.

I use it to connect my watch or a speaker but with an app to read and write NFC tag it seems to not working. My phone don't play the sound as it does and he don't recognize a badge card.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] fireblade-au:
I didn't see anyone reporting this as not working. WiFi Calling (well for CSC: XSA... well actually 'Boost Mobile' a TEL reseller, aka VMNO) is not working in this ROM. WiFi-Calling (calling only, TEL did not agree to WiFi-SMS with this VMNO), thus just WiFi-Calling works fine in stock S8 ROM. The WiFi calling options don't appear in Lineage 19.1 (in SIM/Internet) settings sections.

I'm rolling back to stock as live remote where there is zero mobile coverage & WiFi Calling is my life-line.

Thank you Ivan for you efforts, I'll keep watching this thread for updates and test them out as they come. If you need any technical details regarding the carrier, etc... feel free to reach out via DM.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Selimov:
the same problem, tried to read cards, transport cards, recieving android beam: no reaction with cards, when trying to recieve android beam, it has some reaction - write "no tag"

did you try nfc pay? i havent tried, thought its not working
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] SworDroids:
not tried yet because I just have a crypto card on gpay and I keep my coins

also I can't add my "normal" bank card because my bank isn't compatible

so I don't know for the nfc pay...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dabrown645:
I am having same problem installing Gapps on my Essential PH-1. Here is what I did.

I used LinageOS 19.1 nightly and Linage recovery image

I rebooted into recovery image and formated/wiped the disk

I installed LinageOS 91.1 nightly

I installed Gapp

rebooted and there were no Google apps and the camera said it needed "Google Play Services"

I tried MindTheGapps 12.1.0

open_gapps 11.0 stock

NikGaps 12.1

All gave same results on Google apps and camera error

still no build in VPN
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kIERO's:
wut? I installed wireguard, and VPN works fine. It even shows up in Configuration -> Network & Internet -> VPN
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dgremlind:
@Ivan_Meler please advise whether and how gapps can be reinstalled to support Andorid auto, which gapps should be used? Thank you for support.

Is there any way to install apps onto external sd card? If yes, guidelines would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rian85:
I also have this option, but the plus is missing to add a VPN
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kIERO's:
I've never seen a "plus" option there, I don't think LineageOS supports the "functionality" that you seem to need.

But I can help with offering working alternatives to that native unsupported behavior.

Search VPN on f-droid.org

I don't know what type of VPN you'd need, but the most common ones are openvpn and wireguard.

The openvpn official app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.openvpn.openvpn

The better openvpn semi-official app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn

Both are open-source.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rian85:
thanks, i'll take a look at those. The plus is for adding a VPN connection. This feature was still there in LOS 18, as it is in every other OS.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] spokis:
@Ivan_Meler why is /storage/self bind mounted to /sdcard? My sd card appears in /storage/xxx-xxxx but apps with internal file picker cannot access files in /storage/.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Ivan_Meler:
thats intended behavior since android 11 thanks to scoped storeage, apps shouldn't be able access whole storage except ones that explicity require it for functionality like file managers and instead need to request folder they need to access
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] telans:
Thank you very much for this rom Ivan. The battery life on my S8 G950F is astonishing really. I was previously using an /e/ rom with ~3 days of battery life if left idle. With this rom my battery only drains 10-15% per day if my phone isn't used much, giving me around 6 days before really needing to charge my phone. This is great for someone like me who doesn't use it much. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Radulescubg:
Anyone else having issues with not finding certain apps in play store / getting error with not compatible? Like revolut

Also, am I missing some settings, as the camera is capped to 1080p and many options missing, like format, codec(hevc) jpeg quality etc
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] TimeJanny:
No, I have Revolut installed and working. It showed up just fine in the Play Store for me. No apps have complained about anything actually. I installed it via TWRP along with the GApps package from the OP. Other than missing a few options from the stock ROM (like screen resolution and flashlight brightness), I've had zero problems. The phone is also way snappier than it was with the stock ROM. Firefox in particular ran like a two-legged dog before I switched. It's still not quite as buttery smooth as it is on my Poco F3, but it's not far off now. As for the camera, I chose to install IDan's GCam build. Works like a charm.

Thanks to Ivan for the hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Radulescubg:
I don't know if it's just my phone dying, or I just have plain bad luck.. I can see în the thread that everybody is loving this rom.. But I can't even run 2 apa without them being force closed cuz it's out of ram.. I open chrome, try to type something.. And the keyboard gets killed in 2 seconds. Everything lags, camera crashes, UI freezes, Spotify gets killed every 4 minutes even in foreground, and 0 chances of watching anything in YouTube. tap on the app, 2 seconds dead

The rom seems awesome. But I guess my S8 is finally done. Anyone got any ideas of what I could try?

I did a full wipe, clean install, no kernel modifications, installed the gapps in the guide...

I'm on firmwareDUK1

Is there some kind of.. Magic ingredient to the magic soup I'm missing? I'm desperate here, brothers
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] user900:
maybe you can try to restore to original pie rom of the phone and then install this rom again. did you use any custom roms before installing this one?

Does anyone know how to fix device not certified without root access?

I want to use this with no root but some apps is not available and some banking apps when this rom gonna have certified by google?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Concept48:
I think you need magisk to hide root
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] alfredotto:
For me it works:

Install microG

Install magisk

Enable zygisk from magisk settings

Install Universal SafetyNet Fix

Install microG installer (needed for microG root access)

Note: you can exclude app from magisk settings
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Concept48:
Thank You !!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Retrial:
Hey guys,

So my brother is looking to install a custom ROM on his S8.

I want to ask if the ROM is encrypted by default and if it pass safetynet by default? I searched on the thread and I guess the answer to both questions is no but I am looking for confirm.

It would be nice if the ROM becomes at least encrypted by default for security reasons (if you lose your device somewhere the guy who take it to not have access to your data).

For that tho, it would also need "aosp" lineageos recovery for OTA updates to work, since as I see the TWRP for this device is based on A9 and I guess it can't handle decryption of encrypted A12 ROMs. (It would nice TWRP based on A12 which is more complicated to make it than lineageos recovery)

As about SafetyNet pass by default, since the ROM is not official and it's not restricted to any rule (unless you going for Official), it would be nice to have it for people who don't want to root only for that.

Either Way I would probably install this ROM no matter what but it would be nice to consider these suggestions. 😝 If there are other priorities, I understand.

Thanks @Ivan_Meler for your work. Really surprised with this solid looking ROM for S8 :)

Hi, I'm still amazed by this ROM, and thank you @Ivan_Meler

My display didn't crack, but the left 40% side of the screen stoped working after a fall.

Is there a way to change Android and make the display half the size?

Like, instead of starting bottom left corner in pixel 0x0, to start from pixel 500x0 ?

Thanks

Hi. i rooted ans installed Lineage a long time ago. To use banking apps, I followed this tuto last month and it was very useful. Not sure that all the steps of Sam Beckman are necessary but I did them and it works fine. I finally uninstalled Termux.

Before following the tuto of Sam Beckman, please download magisk OFFICIAL apk file and install it from TWRP recovery mode. There is tons of tutos to help doing this on YouTube.

Then, follow Sam Beckman's tuto :
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kIERO's:
[NO SOLUTION[

It seems google deprecated "wm overscan" command after Android 11. It seems there is no solution to my problem (At least for this ROM).

That command was used to crop a portion of the screen, many people used it when some part of the screen was broken (as me).

I'll try to go back to stock, or Hades. Sad, sad day-.

Well said , and thanks for the iDAN's Camera Tip !!
[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.

Morning all,

I am coming from the PixelExperience ROM, because it does not meet some of my basic requirements:

SafetyNet passed, by default (without using Magisk)

Battery draining too fast

Heating issue in some occasion

I would like your feedback / comment, on any of these points, please?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] user900:
Hi. Just noticed now the bluetooth connection drops again after a phone call. previous version had this issue fixed, but now it came back.

Also noticed that sometimes when I tap the homescreen area the screen doesn't come up with correct brightness. You have to lock and unlock again to get the right brightness. Previous versions the brightness would come on with a lag of a few seconds.

The battery life is good and everything else is good as far as I can see.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] wmrichard:
Good day,

It is a stable and good rom and I use LineageOS as my daily driver , for your questions:

1 Safetynet is NOT passed by default, you still need Magisk. I am not aware of any Android 11 or 12 rom for the S8 that does this have this function out of the box without Magisk (with Magisk it is working great by the way).

2 My battery is good and I do not have any issues, there are still some major improvements expected like HWC support. But I have better battery life on Lineage than on Stock.

3 Haven't had any heat issues.

For me LinaeageOS 19.1 for S8 is the perfect rom, but I do not know if this is the case for you, as mentioned by requirement 1. I hope this helps making a decision for you.

And Thanks Ivan for your continued development for our (old) phones.

Hi all,

I downloaded and installed this rom yesterday but having some issues.

I cannot install the provided gapps, it says the zip file is in a wrong format and won’t install. I installes the mindthegapps instead.

The system and some apps don’t recognize my internet connection and says i’m not connecter. Downloading and browsing etc works fine.

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] BiG_FooT:
You should make sure that you download a Android 12 Gapps package. Than you should flash it directly after you flashed the ROM (so don't boot your device after you flashed the ROM)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Droidexperiment:
Yes I downloaded the mindthegapps for android 12.1 (L)

It actually did boot without the apps installed
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] BiG_FooT:
Did you flash MindtheGapps immediately after you fresh installed the ROM? If you didn't you have to factory reset and start over again
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] volcomsurfer99:
Thank you so much, this is working great! My only thing is video playback. With the default Widevine CDM at Security Level 1 I get no playback at all, but if I patch Magisk with the liboemcrypto and drop my Widevine to Security Level 3 then it all works fine.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] sauudmir:
I dirty flashed it over los 18.1 and it worked perfectly fine although it had some lagging issue so I did wipe and did it all over again. Maybe try and flash the gapps over it again to see if that helps
