[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] zdarkstranger:
Thank you so much for this, you guys Rock as always, just a 1 questions and 1 request Please.

1- is root included or do we need to use Magisk after first boot ?

2- would be super great if you had put a link for Bitgapps, please don't get me wrong I know I can just google it, but because now a days there are tons of fake downloads full of viruses and ads viruses that's why , Kind request please.

3- Love you guys. Bonus comment 🥰
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Merc87:
Do you have any Gcam mod recommendation? And if anyone knows of any custom kernels that would work on Android 12/11 ROMs for the note 8 please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Thtrr:
Pretty cool looking rom but I get an error message "android intelligence is stopping constantly".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] zdarkstranger:
Do consider writing you mobile type and details of TWRP, did you clean install etc. what you have written is like, you go to a doctor and say you have pain, A normal way would be doctor I have pain in my stomach whenever I eat fried food etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Thtrr:
Thank you for your information. I did a clean flash and the device is greatlte. Twrp is also updated to the latest version "https://eu.dl.twrp.me/greatlte/twrp-3.6.0_9-0-greatlte.img.html"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nikhil Chandran:
First of all, thank you for making this rom and keeping us up to date. Is there any plans to add iris support.

And what about s-pen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] johnybx:
Hi, thanks for great ROM. I noticed that flip cover does not work - when closed nothing happens as well as there is no wake up when opened. Only thing I found related to this is this repository https://github.com/LineageOS/android_packages_apps_FlipFlap but that did not help too much. Is there some way how to make it work ? Turns out there was just no app / service which would react to sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Luckoneday:
吨thank You Where to download files?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ravrage:
I may sound stupid but I really want to try this but I have few concerns, before I start I just want to thank you for your awesome work

1. How is the battery life?

2. How well hardware decoder work(hevc hw accelerator...etc) ?

3. Does heart rate senser still work ?

4. Does camera work in all app or we have to use workarounds?

5. I see continues update thank for the hard work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] forbidden8:
Imo battery life is excellent compared to other roms. I don't know much about hevc etc. but rom is smooth and fast working. Anyway Hades Q to me is much smoother and fluid. Camera works. Stock camera app is absolute basic. Better to use gCam or some other alternative. Camera was the thing that force me to use Hades rom again. Idk about heart rate sensor. Otherwise ui on LineageOs is great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nikhil8080:
SMS don't send in this rom this is a bug you can't use SMS services

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] jatinder08:
Hi thanks for the great work.. nice rom.. installed it yesterday with niksGapps full version. Changed the device key to nexus 6p. Rooted CTS and other checks passed. Installed gcam from Play Store. But the cam version is 2017. Any work around for updating the gcam to latest version. Thanks I am a newbie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nsk.1309:
Hi I'm newbies to this. I manage to flush the ROM successfully. However Im getting alert where it saying "SElinux is not enforcing, your security has been weakened". Also with "This build was signed with public keys"

I flush with "lineage-19.1-20220426-UNOFFICIAL-greatlte.zip"

Any advice what I should do to avoid this ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Meow_t3n:

I heared that selinux had for a month or so very big security problems.

i like your work keep it up C:``

Nice, Samsung wearable for galaxy buds pro doesn't work, can you manage to do something in build for getting the app installed and working for the buds for all note users?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
There are modified builds of those apps around the web, alternatively you could spoof your device as non samsung one with magisk props module and it will just work

Hi, since I installed the lastest update, the phone randomly tells me that the Phone Services app is using location. This hasn't happened to me before and I don't know if it is normal or a bug.

Hay Man

Hello! I've been having a weird, but consistent issue since I updated, after the phone boots up, it works just fine for around 10 minutes or so and then the touch display becomes completely unresponsive, the phone isn't frozen, all physical buttons work, but nothing else, the only fix i've found so far is just force-rebooting with Volume Down + Power.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
Here we go new build is out and so is source for the rom

- Adapted DT2W support (double tap to wake)

- Muted phone services gps notif (Thanks google really appreciate you breaking random things for everyone)

- Improved battery life and performance

- Fixed issue where some devices would not wake up touch after being in sleep mode

- Cleaned up all of leftover patches that were used by legacy power hal

- Synced with LineageOS source

- Released source on https://github.com/8890q/

Keep in mind there is https://github.com/8890q/patches repo with some changes needed for 8895 support

I decided to release source as builds have reached stability, so why not give something to comunity to play with

(And my birthday is coming up in 2 weeks so i wanted to give comunity a gift from me to all of you)

Please give proper credits when you use the source as I spent quite a lot of my free time on this project and consider donating to help keep the project alive

Big thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost and got me coffee, This really wouldnt be possible without them

excellent ROM, super smooth, spectacular battery consumption, customizable and very updated. Thank you so much
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] piwopijca:
Hi thanks but I did it and it's not positive

Only a downgrade to 17.1 worked, gapps installation to this version and then magisk.zip

I went back to root and upgraded to 19.1 again and now it's fine

Anything about better support for the s-pen? (the menu for S-pen etc... )

Flash magisk in Twrp and go on easy, and you got youtube easy with the new SafeNet pass if need it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] piwopijca:
I had previously installed the firmware from Dr. Ketan (Android 10) and wanted to change to a newer Android 12

The "magisk" installation itself did not help.

I already wrote that I had to go back to LineageOS 17.1 and install "magisk" and only then to a newer system (LineageOS 19.1) to keep "su"

I read somewhere that the author no longer supports Safetynet in "magisk"
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
Here is another build, with quite a few changes

Big thanks to everyone who donated and helped cover the build server cost and got me coffee

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] roshanranabhat:
First of all, thank you for this awesome ROM. I have an unusual issue after I flashed this ROM, I'm not seeing any "+" icon in the VPN menu it's just empty. It would be helpful if anyone has any insight on how to fix this. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
Since my birthday is tomorrow I decided to release a little surprise build. Here is a brief changelog:

- Updated libexynosdisplay from BSP to comply with some android 12 changes

- Removed unused build.prop entries

- Fixed few selinux denials related to hwc props

- Improved UI performance and stability

- Cleaned up source

- Removed more unneeded patches for device support

- Synced with LineageOS source

Im aware of Seedvault issue curently present and im working on a fix for it.

I wanted to release something as a gift from me to everyone using this rom and supporting this project throughout the years. Keeping older phones alive and up to date is really fun hobby and I don't think I would've kept doing it if it wasnt for all of the support from the comunity.

Once again big thanks to everyone who helped cover the build serve cost and coffee.

Enjoy new build and stay safe

Very Stable. Thank u
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
here are some progress update on hwc

I isolated crash and figured out whe re its happening, sadly its in closed source lib

good thing however is we can use pixel 6 source and wee what said function does

Im curently working on a shim library that will intercept that function, add fix to it and pass arguments back to original function

so at the end we have working hwc.

This might take some time as i took few days off from work just to figure out what exactly is going on here so no etas yet.

Also June security update will be out next week
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Asemdesperado:

- Merged June 2022. security update

- Merged June 2022. pixel feature drop (SQ3A.220605.009.A1)

Once again huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, helped cover the build server cost and got me a coffee, this project wouldnt be possible without support of the comunity and s8 wouldnt still be running latest OS with latest security updates over 5 years after launch

also work on hwc shim is still in progress and im doing some more testing to make sure thre is no regression but soon enough that will also be included in new builds no eta yet tho

18.1 builds will be out over the coming days

Enjoy new build and stay safe

dr ketan firmware is android 9. not 10, the only oneUI android 10 i know of is hades rom. unable to understand what realy happened here. most custom firmwares or some come unrooted. the user has to flash magisk for root access.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Paddy1401:
The ROM is superb. But may I ask will this ROM ever have Enforcing SElinux and stuff with SafetyNET in the future ? Since I just want a normal ROM working with banking app and Netflix without playing with Magisk. Thank you very much !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] kari kimber:
U need a magisk.apk, magisk.zip (rename magisk.apk extension to zip and install in twrp), twrp,

magisk hide.

If your bank-games-others similar apps check hard ways root-safetynet security;

Listed magisk modules needed.

magiskhide props config v6.1.2

universal safetynet fix v2.2.1 (Zygisk)

shamiko v0.5.0

I use magisk 24.3 not 25. if u install magisk 25 "maybe" you don't need shamiko.

If u install magisk 25.1 you don't need shamiko.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nikkerston:
Are you able to add LED View cover support?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] simcharafa:
Thank you so much for this amazing rom. Is there a way to have a raven black theme? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Senichan:
Hey, Thanks for this amazing Rom.

I run it as an Pixel Rom on my old Note 8 (N950f), since my Pixel 5 broke.

I found a good Full GAPPS here: https://nikgapps.com/

With the FULL Nikgapps, the Rom transforms to a perfect Pixel Rom on Android 12L with everything i needed, like a good Camera App, the Google Setup on first boot (the Nikgapps replaces the lineage OS one with the one from Google, so I can use Google Backup / reinstall Apps from old Smartphones etc.), full Play Services, etc.

WONDERFULL!

Works like a charm.

Only my battery drain is hard, but I think It's because the Note 8 is a little older now and the Pixel 5 has a bigger battery, so everything should be normal and it is just my imagination.

Only issue is to get my Bank app working. Have the latest Magisk installed (25.1 i think) and the safety net fix. Safetynet Check say everything is good, but my Bank App says: rooted Device is not supported. I have tried zgisk, hide magisk, freeze magisk, hide every google app and the bank app, etc. No chance....

But great Rom, love that i have my "Pixel" back. (Or a close to it phone)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
New builds are up here and via ota

- Fixed issues with keystore present in a lot of bank/secure apps like binance

- Fixed issue where setupwizard would crash when adding fingerprint due to bug in keystore

- Cleaned up patches required for build and removed unneeded ones

- Synced with LineageOS source

This was one of hardest things to track down and it prevented some security related apps from working, big thanks to everyone who supported this project and got me coffee (This took over a month on and off time to debug and figure out, one of weirdest error caused by googles keystore changes in android 12) and thanks to those who helped cover the build server cost

Enjoy new build and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] simcharafa:
Thank you so much for the latest build. Its super stable as always. One thing i noticed, my screen is turning pinkish if in dark mode. Does anyone have the same issue?

Edit. Done, i found Nikgapps SL for Android 12L
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
I havent posted an actual progress update in quite some time so here is some behind the scenes.

First of all selinux, that is actually being worked on and it should be supported in near future (Tho it needs some testing to make sure things dont break)

Kernel upstream and full eBPF support, thats on its way too so we wont need any hacks to make bpf work anymore which is a nice bonus + we will be able to use some nice new features like gpu monitoring which requires eBPF

HWC This is a big one, without revealing too much there is big progress on this behind the scenes and while it does require quite a bit of work once this is sorted we will have much better battery life and UI will be waaay smoother (2x increase at least), this and few other hals will be open sourced too once this is nearly finished so no more proprietary blobs for it

Keystore will also be looked into a bit further to see if there are edge cases left where some secure apps break

OMX again without going into too much details we will see some changes on that end and it will be open sourced

Camera, well ill just let this one be a surprise for now since it will require most work

There is a lot more going behind the scenes and some of those changes will take some time (Keep in mind i do this in my free time so i really cant talk about etas) but in general once most of those chanegs are up 8895 devices will be in perfect condition and once android 13 source is out it wont take too long to get it working.

Some other small notes since s8 i use to develop this rom on has broken screen (i use scrcpy to mirror screen on pc) im actually still looking into getting 8895 device, Someone offered to send one from UK but since im in EU ill have to look into import tax and stuff caused by brexit which is not fun to deal with.

And finally HUGE thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost, thius project really wouldnt be possible without them, They also covered the coffee cost and some stuff like recent keystore fixes really took a long time to debug which indeed required a lot of coffee at night haha.

I cant wait for HWC support
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
Here we go. part 1 of that prommised plan

- Fixed HWC

- Improved gcam ports compatibility and post processing speed

- Major battery life and ui performance imporvements

- Synced with LineageOS source

there is still quite a lot on that todo list but this is one of largest changes

July security update will be out as soon as google releases source for it

this will also get backported to July 18.1 update

As always big thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost

enjoy new build and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
Another small update is out

- Improved LMKD behavior

- Improved power hal behaviour and performance boosting

- Tuned surfaceflinger behavior

- Improved ui performance further

- Fixed more keystore issues

- Synced with LineageOS source

as for some people complaining of performance issues in ui, make sure you are not touching animation scale as android 12 really doesnt like that (try doing it on device that has stock a12 and you will notice same behavior)

I ran jitter test with hwc enabled and disabled and values were 2 times lower with hwc enabled (you could check it by disabling hw overlays and enabling profile hwui rendering as bars on screen)

(Since I sitll dont have properly functional s8 here debugging stuff like this is way harder)

Once again big thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover build server cost and got me coffee

enjoy new build and stay safe
