[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nikkerston:
A few questions about this rom. Can it be used daily?

Can it be dirty flasheed from HadesQ 2.0?

What S-Pen features work?

Does magisk 24.1 work?

Does it crash or lockup during normal use?

But anyways its amazing to see someone getting Android 12 working this well on sutch nice devices from 5 years ago!

Edit: ever planning to add Iris scannin to the os? It dosent matter but during these times its very useful
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hkalman:
I think that this rom is awesome and incredible fast, but I go back to the stock ROM becasue the NikGapps problems. I will try this ROM again and again when new opengapps / nikgapps will release.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sarpel:
I flashed this rom and everything seems to run smoothly. The only problem i have encountered is when i enter google (services and preferences), couldnt get google to backup my phone with manual backup order. Automatically didnt back up too.

Battery life seemed longer compared to stock android 9, also more stylish it seems.

Thanks for your efforts
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hkalman:
Which gapps do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sarpel:
BitGapps. Which i've just learned about from OP
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duck4Cover:
Same here used this one.

BiTGApps Official - ARM64

Custom GApps Package For Android Platform ARM64.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hkalman:
Thanks a lot, I will try that. Did you tired the Android Auto?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duck4Cover:
I can't get android auto working though... Does this work in Lineage normally?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] sarpel:
No sorry. Dont have a car with that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hkalman:
Could somebody install the Revolut app without apk mirror? From apk I coult install and it works.

Magisk 24.1 installed with modules safetynet-fix and MagiskHidePropsConf. Basic integrity passed, but the CTS profile match failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hkalman:
The android auto app was installed from Play Store and run on the phone. I will try tomorrow morning with my car. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duck4Cover:
Yes I can get it to run on the phone, but comes up with the red crash screen when trying to put in the car screen. I think this was the case for Android 11 also with lineage. It has been awhile since I have put a new ROM which is not oneui.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hkalman:
I've got Communication error 22 when I try to connect to my car. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duck4Cover:
I had a report from a caller of the mic not being very loud in a call, is the way to resolve this please?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Duck4Cover:
I got stuck on TWRP recovery splash screen when trying to boot back into recovery. So recommend prior to doing this, make sure you have a laptop, Odin and a copy of the TWRP .TAR file to flash in download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] moonligbt7293:
anyone can help me i have problem in wifi

i dont find any network??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hkalman:
Conclusion: Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 hardware would still be fast enough and capable of running Android 12 at lightning speed, but in spite of some enthusiastic developers keeping the phone alive, the market economy has won.

This is a great ROM, but even Google SafetyNet does not support these ROMs, so it is only by tricking applications into running banking applications on it, Google Pay does not work and I could list at length what barriers large companies have built against such initiatives. to make this solution simply unviable.

Instead of Google declaring the work of large teams to be safe, at least after a review, he thinks a better solution is to hit everyone with an unsafe bill. I'm just not willing to throw away my phone every 2 years, as the hardware is still fast today, it's simply not supported for profit and so let's face it, it's not safe.

I’ve been thinking for a long time whether to continue using the Note 8 - which I really like - or maybe switch to an S22 Ultra phone, but the end will be to buy an iPhone, the Apple Watch is light years ahead of the others anyway, their phones are supported for ~ 6 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] moonligbt7293:
any update to that rom??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
Here is a new build with few updates

- 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

- 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

- Misc performance and stability improvements

- Disabled CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED in kernel in order to remove system hack we previously needed

- Merged some previously missing LOS features

- Synced with LOS source

keep in mind February security update has not been merged yet and should be in a few days so I'll post new build once security update is ready

This really took a long time to fix properly (almost 2 years i would say (it also affects old 17.1 builds)) especially without disabling fdsan system wide

This fix will be ported over to 18.1 builds too but before i release them ill hold on till february security update is out

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

Enjoy new build and stay safe
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:

Knox will only work in oneUi Samsung based ROMs. This is an AOSP based build
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maxed4901:
It is in the first post. Google drive and mega link provided. Also visit the telegram group for other links
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maxed4901:
I am too having this problem.

The build is awesome. Slight battery drain still but can be fixed with an update. Bluetooth audio on Chromecast and calls also does not work. But can play music on ear buds. And then this Google assistant doesn't want to listen to me. It says not available for device.

Hello,

Ive just flashed this rom and its running fine, however im having trouble booting back into TWRP. It would seem the ROM also flashed lineage recovery, i tried flashing TWRP via Odin, it completes but it boots back into lineage recovery. Any idea how i can go back to TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] moonligbt7293:
How i can root this rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] maxed4901:
Flash magisk any version. I am using 24.1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
Well here is March security update and Android 12L

- Merged March 2022. security and feature updates (Android 12L)

- Fixed status bar network trafic monitor

- Improved zram performance and enabled zram writeback

- Cleaned up patches needed for build

- Fixed network usage monitoring

- Fixed per app network restrictions

- Removed AudioFX which was causing issues

- Decreased microphone gain a bit to mitigate in-call issues

- Updated some device control apps like advanced display settings

- Fixed s-pen pointer offset for note8

- Imrpoved fp sensor response time

- Added cgroup profile config

- A lot of 'under the hood' changes

- Performance improvements

- Merged more previously missing los features

- Implemented OTA updates

Since this build is rebased on top of android 12L just like march pixel updates it took some more time to get it merged and working

api level is actually bumped to 32 from original 12's 31

Once again huge thanks to everyone who supported this project so far and helped cover the build server cost/coffee

Now that OTA support is here getting updates will be a lot easier, but i would still advise to check threads and keep up with news/progress

Updates for 18.1 builds will be out soon with added OTA support

Enjoy new builds and stay safe (well as much as possible in these awful times)

Also since this build is based on top of12L which is api32 you might have to use gapps from OP on clean install till more gapps get support for it

@Ivan_Meler

hello, I cannot use your structures, but I follow them with curiosity and excitement. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N9500 model ( Snapdragon 835 ), any build is possible for this variant? I couldn't find any custom roms, is there something you can direct me to?

Hello,

I'm using this ROM, anyone else experiencing data connection dropping if there's no 4G present? Mine doesnt seem to switch to 3G, if there's no 4G there's no internet connection
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
Here we go, issues with apps are resolved now (Thanks for breaking keymaster google, really cool)

14.03.2022.

- Fixed issue with keystore where apps would crash when invoking it (Security related apps mostly like signal and a lot of work apps)

- Officially rebranded as 19.1

- Updated changelog URL in updater app to point to a valid changelog

- Fixed battery icon styles (Again..)

- Cleaned up source

- Performance and stability improvements

- Updated some stock apps to math with new design

- Synced with LineageOS source

Once again sorry for inconvenience, also since lineageos bumped version to 19.1 yesterday you will have to manually install this update

next one will have ota as its 19.1 to 19.1 and no version bump, If you cant find gapps i posted ones that work in the OP.

As this is version bump from 19.0 to 19.1 you WILL have to reinstall gapps as addon.d isnt executed

As always big thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped me cover build server cost and got me coffee, and once again sorry for issues with initial 12L build,

Enjoy new build and stay safe

Does anyone have a problem with some apps doesnt get your voice in. In my situation, duolingo doesnt register my voice, even with all necessary permissions. And shows error while talking. No sound wave animation or anything. Same with some karaoke apps. They dont get my voice. But anything other than that voice is ok. Like phone calls whatsapp calls even car bluetooth is registering ok. Second to that i have huawei gt2 pro watch, if i call or answer from it, i hear screeches from other side. I saw some bt voice feedbacks up here, i thought it may be relevant with it.

*Front camera makes you Thanos 😁
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Ivan_Meler:
Well here is something ive been working on for some time, Imrpoved overall app launch speed (especially for cold start)

And i have cool graph to go with it

*All values are in ms, from s7 edge running android 12L, values gathered with

logcat | grep Displayed

hi res image available at imgur

So iorap is cool and all but i decided not to go with it and instead disable kernel tracing which gives us same results at the end without any mess iorap is doing.

Wondering why? or why not enable both

Well With both enabled there is next to no difference in app launch speed.

And as for why i didnt enable iorap and went for kernel change to reduce overhead: Well iorap always hangs in the background and it could cause battery drain for people with a lot of apps while it does its prefetching, it would also consume cpu cycles and battery in background, Meanwhile disabling kernel tracing actually leads to better cpu perf as it wont be used for some logging that we dont need (Normal logs are still there this was just throwing extra spam) and in turn also better battery life (And also overall better performance in whole os)

Ill probably release a build with this and few other changes soon but i wanted to share a small progress update and a writedown about why performance improved

edit: its worth noting google is ditching iorap in android 13 so this is also a better long term solution and iorap was known to cause overheating issues and app compatibility issues which my kernel edits wont cause

[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] danilocps87:
I bought an Edge S already running global rom (retbr now). I want come back to its original chinese rom retcn. So:

- Can I restore and sync my Google backup (contacts, sms, password and other infos) in the chinese rom, like G100 global roms? If yes, how to do it?

- Can I run Android Auto, Netflix and other global apps in the chinese rom?

- Will I lose (or gain) something using Edge S chinese rom instead G100 global roms, like camera quality, features, performance?
[Motorola Moto G100 / Edge S] hashnon:
I've used both retcn and reteu official versions of rom for this device and here what I can say:

Yes, all this work as intended, but you will need to install:

"Google Contacts Sync" by Google LLC, search for com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts

"Google Play Store" by Google LLC, search for com.android.vending

"Google Services Framework" by Google LLC, search for com.google.android.gsf

and choose latest stable version for android version on your phone.

Do not use those so cannot say.

The only problem I've encountered is on both firmware there is now Multi-volume but on reteu it works on retcn - not.

Also here a post states that you should Disable or user uninstall Moto dialer, contacts, Lenovo AppCenter and LeCloud before installing above apk's as they seem to interfere with contact sync, cannot say the same off my experience, you can user uninstall almost anything using this command:

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.motorola.contacts.preloadcontacts.overlay.vzw

This will user uninstall Moto Contacts.
