Unfortunately yes, all custom recoveries are still based on twrp sources, and the bug is in the twrp sources. Just remove the rom pin before flashing then it decrypts fine
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
build updated to V3.45, happy flashing!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bunzo:
Hello, I have a question and I need some advice. I have my Nokia 8-TA1052 with AncientOs 5.7 Society for a month and a half, more or less, I would like to put a rom with Android 12 on it and I don't know which one to choose, I am in doubt between AncientOS 6.2 Society or CherishOS 3.45. I ask this question here because I see that the developer of the 2 roms is marceldossantos91. Someone can enlighten me? Thanks in advance!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
Hey, yes i maintain both roms :) the rom you like is simply personal preference, we share the same device tree so the stability and bugs are mostly the same. Both roms are great. Some prefer ancient and some prefer cherish, though ancient A12 is vastly different from its A11 version, its way cleaner now.

Cherish may be unofficial but i have been updating it since v2.8

Choose whichever rom you like best ;)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bunzo:
Thank you for your quick response and above all for your development work to keep our Nokia 8 working. Even so, I insist and rephrase the question: if you were to choose which of these 2 roms with Android 12, AncientOS 6.2 or CherishOS 3.45, you would put on your phone as the first option and which of them do you see more development or future (all this from the point of view focused on daily use)? Apologies for the insistence, I do not want to be tiresome. Thanks again!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
Honestly, i use ancient as my daily driver, but some people prefer cherish which is why i keep building them, others ancient, i really cannot tell you which is best. You just need to try and use which you like best.

Camera did work for me. Both gcam and stock.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Xda2022:
Well guys, my Nokia 8 is completely dead (well it doesn't boot into fastboot and just hangs on bootloader unlock warning) , now got a Poco F3. Thanks to @marceldossantos91 for your hard work on the Nokia 8 , it was great whilst it lasted.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
PM me on tg. I will help you fix your device :)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] r100:
Been using this ROM for a month now, it's really great! There are so many thing improved over stock, I can't list them all. One of more unexpected things was the much faster fingerprint scanner, I didn't realize how slow it was on stock until I tried this ROM.

My recommended camera for this ROM is MGC_7.4_v1.0i_TlnNeun. I like this one because it's fast, picture quality is decent, denoising is good, it records video at a rock solid 1080p 60fps and h265 encoding works without issues. Love it!

Like all things in life this ROM also isn't perfect. The biggest issues I encountered are:

Idle clock speeds of the Snapdragon 835 seem to be higher than necessary. On stock firmware, the faster cluster of the SoC turns off and the slower cluster runs at 300 MHz in idle. In this ROM, both clusters seem to remain active at all times, running at 499&518 MHz. It also aggressively clocks higher, unless battery saving mode is enabled.

Apps that can override the orientation lock don't scale properly. For example, VLC Player playing a video in landscape while screen orientation is locked, will result in a smaller picture only partly filling the screen. Manually enabling screen orientation works to solve this.

Bluetooth HD-Audio doesn't work. The phone connects to my Sony WH-1000XM3, but when anything other than SBC or AAC is enabled (like LDAC or Aptx-HD), the connection drops and reconnects once audio actually starts.

The charging speeds on the lock screen seem to be inaccurate. My 750mA charger is supposedly charging the phone at 925mA and my 1A charger is said to charge at 1725mA apparently. These values also go up and down constantly, as if it were recalculating this several times per second. Hopefully this doesn't wear down the battery unnecessarily.

Thanks for this brilliant ROM and for making the Nokia 8 feel like a new phone again!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
Thanks for your insite. regarding the following what you said:

- we removed the 300 and 399mhz clock speeds on purpose, because we use an EAS kernel and with EAS 300 and 399mhz are actually the most ineffecient frequencies, don't be fooled by the frequencies and the scaling, we are actually at our most optimal and we took alot of work to get it where it is to use schedutil. interactive is a more aggressive governer and lower frequencies does not mean it's using less power actually, that is why we removed the "inefficient" frequencies from the table. feel free to compare the speed and effeciency to stock, its nowhere on the same level ;)

- rather strange that you having an orientation bug, i never saw this issue. maybe its a dirty flash bug?

- the lockscreen charging speeds are not inaccurate, they are based on the maximum rated input by the charger negotiation. it doesn't actually mean its charging at that rate though.

for example: if you plug your original NB1 brick in, we can get up to 36W charging (even though its rated at 18W) but it will rarely see over 30W unless its actually really near dead and charging temp allows, the HAL will allow it to have bigger wattage for a short burst and when it hits a certain temp/percentage it will slow down accordingly. this behavior can be seen with a third party app like batteryguru, that shows what the battery is actually taking in, you will see it reports different behaviour to the lockscreen rating. this isn't just a rom or device issue, no rom can accurately show what it charges at. you will see the same behaviour across all roms and devices. so in your case - yes your chargers can be rated less but some bricks do allow higher negotiation and it will show the max it could go is 1.7A, but if the charger is only delivering the rated 1A it has stated - then you will see 1A in batteryguru :)

- regarding the BT - we have actually pushed some APTX fixes but you are not the first to report it has issues, since however none of us in development side own any of this, we are unable to test it. it would be really helpful if you could send us a log in our support group on tg to help diagnose that issue, that won't be rom side bug that will be a device side bug.

i hope that answered you well enough ;)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] r100:
Wow @marceldossantos91 thanks for that explanation! Now I feel like a noob, all those things were actually considered very very well, my interpretation was simply wrong. Great, I'll look into some guides on how to log the Bluetooth issue and will get back to you once I have something useful :)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScruffyITA:
hi is there a way to fix that livecall echo with audio ?

with whatsapp is not that big problem, but on normal call if i activate the speacker its a big problem...
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
hey, unfortunately not.

we have been trying for over a year to fix it but the reason is simply unknown, we have a suspicion recently that the volume may just be to loud instead of broken, and we are aware on network calls it can't be adjusted, we have done all patches possible for this but we simply do not know why it happens.

we are attempting to fix it constantly but no fix avail yet, as soon as one is found it will be updated.

i will however state that, we have found a fix for dualsim issues and offline charging on the positive side, we are integrating them into the roms and as soon as they're working ill post another update ;)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] alexspl:
I can speak only for myself, but aptX works for my 1MORE TWS ANC earbuds.

They don't have aptX HD so I can't confirm there unfortunately.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
Build has been updated to V3.5.2

this release contains many changes as follows:

updated to android 12.1 R2 (12L)

fixed offline charging

fixed data on sim2 with dual sim models

built in recovery is now fixed, it should allow for future OTA updater if i can get that working and flashing twrp/ofox is now optional

for this release it may need a clean flash, if you experience bugs with dirty flash - please wipe /data and /dalvik only, internal not necessary to format.

Happy Flashing!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] itsJayjayyy:
The ability to turn on navigation bar and disable hardware button which enables the user to use gesture navigation is removed, Intentionally or bug?

hopefully the update is very stable and buttery smooth 💯
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
did you clean flash? its not impossible its not added back yet since 12.1, there is another way though if your rooted or at least have recovery and do it in recovery.

edit /vendor/build.prop

search for the line: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

and change it to 0

and now software navigation will be forced instead.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] itsJayjayyy:
Thanks a lot, it actually works by editing build.prop, using gesture nav atm. I prefer this one. Thank youu!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
great to hear :)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
build updated to V3.6, gyro sensor drift is now fixed but requires clean flash to take effect, happy flashing!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Røbin:
HW key seems to be buggy. It doesn't work(response) sometime. And Internal storage's write speed is slower than usual, similar to my SanDisk SD card write speed, doesn't go above 80mb/s. I guess that's why some app performance (response speed) degraded? But this build is better than the previous build which had laggy UI experience. I tried the ancient rom and it was stable than this one, comparably. oh and i can't switch to 2g network when selecting 1x mode from network preference, My phone only catches 3g and 4g network (my country still providing 2g service) is it a bug? Till now this is all the issues I'm facing with this rom. Yet, can't thank you guys enough for supporting Nokia 8, thought it was good as zombie. This phone finally able to breathe again. 😄
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
regarding the HW keys, ive recieved few reports of this when users are dirty flashing, but when they clean flash - all is OK. please try to clean flash and see if your issues persist.

the SD card - its the same between all roms, the kernel is the same between each rom, you won't see any better performance between each rom. maybe its just the apps itself?

for the carrier types - i am trying to find a way to expose all modes in the settings, but for now you can do it in the dialer with *#*#4636#*#* > phone information, and select network type to LTE/WCDMA/GSM or similar, whichever you like. GSM only mode is also there.

the UX lag is definitely improving since 12L, all our users have noticed :)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Røbin:
When I flashed the latest build I performed a clean flash but the hw issues still there. I forgot to mention that the gesture navigation still works even if I turn the function off. Ig I'll wait for next build to make another clean flash and report back later if the issues persist. Thank you.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
to disable the gesture navigation, go to settings, its either in gestures or in system navigation, set it to 3 button mode, this will stop the gestures from working.

for the HW keys, please take a log for me if possible. i haven't heard anyone else complain about it after a clean flash, i will take a look.

thanks :)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Røbin:
Yeah I was an idiot that didn't notice it has another mode in the system>gesture to enable or disable hw key function.😅 I thought the gesture function is in the cherish setting. Thanks a bunch.💙 This rom is suitable for daily use and hoping it will get even better in performance and stability.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
the issue is that because we have HW keys forced, most phones nowadays have software keys, so they enable gestures by default in all roms, but it conflicts with our HW keys, so setting it to 3 button mode wether the sw keys are enabled or not will stop the gestures from working as the default mode, and then it switches to a normal nav bar, which is disabled by default so that the HW keys work.

no problem ;) feel free to join our support group if you face any further issues.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScruffyITA:
i swapped from havoc rom to this one :D just watching the dev reply to topic is a total different story instead of trowing out one rom and never give a sec to read and answer people problem.

to make rom work i had to format all partition before it will work.

with havoc rom i was unable to update from one version to another without lose everyting each time.

i had audio bug there and wil lget here too, but im with your rom from now :)

tnx for dev that nokia rom
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
the reason being is because with android 11 we had decryption issues every time security patch was updated, we have fixed this up in our android 12 device tree (in spite of the twrp decryption issue) so OTA will work correctly, the only issue we still currently have is because of TWRP itself not fixed for android 12 yet, decryption fails from recovery if you have a pin enabled in rom, though it does not affect OTA, it does affect how you flash, the easiest work around for now is using a micro sd card to flash updates till twrp fixes the issue on their side, but i can confirm the issues that were present in havoc are gone. but yes - to update to cherish A12 from A11 roms you need to use latest recovery and clean flash, we have gone an insane amount of changes since A11 and as you will see so many of our bugs are fixed since then, in terms of our device trees, we are actually so close to full stability.

the loudspeaker echo is still unfortunately present and we are still working on trying to find a fix for that, we have however improved it since then, at least for voip (telegram, whatsapp, etc) if you simply reduce your volume a bit echo disappears, for network calls it can't be adjusted and we still working on that.

we are also working on getting OTA updaters in our roms, we recently fixed recoveries and i am trying to work on including a patched OTA updater. since both ancient (despite being official, uses sourceforge) and cherish don't have official OTA servers since im not a listed maintainer, i have to create my own version of it. as you will see though, there is preparation for that, cherish/ancient recovery has been fixed recently ;)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScruffyITA:
i have noticed that aecho is on with normal voice call with speaker enabled, but is not present in whatsapp video call, or my friend can ear their voice back only if i talk while they are talking. also on vlc i had to equalize the udio with pop enabled otherwise i had no bass at all.

ill try that rom in the next days :()

ps: could it be possible to add exfat support or ntfs support for microsd ? using a custom roum would be much rewarding if adding all that staff that we like and cant have in original firmware :p
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
this is mainly due to the fact that the audio libs are to loud, that's what creates the echo, we are finding a way to reduce the gains and try patch up the adjustment in network calls.

we have attempted to add exfat support but we simply can't, its become proprietary since some time ago. we tried using another oss driver for it but didn't work out well. it's on my mind though to try add for future once a suitable solution is found for it.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
Vanilla builds are finally available again. happy flashing!
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Røbin:
Can't I skip some apps that I don't want to install just like how we used to flash in Aroma? Or is there some script I can use to do that just like nikgapps?
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScruffyITA:
today i did a live call with speaker and my friend told me no echo.....

looks like finally i can enjoy my nokia 8 again ;)
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
well with the vanilla build, the entire point is you can choose your own gapps package, there is no aroma installer but there are minified gapps installers, for example nikgapps and flame gapps both give you a choice on exactly what gapps you want.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
the loudspeaker is working on voip apps if you reduce the volume a bit, it has been slightly improved, but the issue still persists in network calls sorry, no fix for that yet. but yes at least on apps it works for now yes :) i confirmed whatsapp and telegram is ok if i just reduce the volume a little bit and not go to maximum
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TechNoobForSale:
What's the Adreno GPU Driver version of this ROM? Latest Stock Pie is on V331.0 and the performance is very poor.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TechNoobForSale:
I am mainly looking for performance. Stock Kernel ROM with no root caps maximum CPU Freq at 2361MHz instead of the rated 2457MHz, and GPU Drivers are so outdated that on AnTuTu, a Mali G71 MP20 outperforms this phone (which is ominous).
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
we are using more recent drivers than stock, however we are certainly not using the latest, because updating GPU drivers is at the very bottom of our priority list.

if you feel performance is better on stock feel free to revert to stock. we do not build roms focused on gaming performance, we build them based on user stability and overall smoothness and effeciency.

we use schedutil for the kernel not interactive. it is aimed towards effeciency with EAS to improve battery life. and the frequencies table is different from stock too.

I cannot comment on benchmarks, but we have tweaked the kernel and rom to the max possible performance, and at least according to some users - benchmarks 10% higher than stock, but if your experience is opposite there is not much we can do about it.

GPU drivers will be updated at a later stage, but our focus has been on building a stable tree for daily usage and tweaking the rom for a great user experience. its not as simple as just updating the GPU drivers, it requires heavy modification.

we have had some gamers complain about that, but we always say the same thing, gaming performance is at the bottom of our priority list. we hope you understand ;)NB1 is a rather difficult device, and our focus remains on solving bugs before adding features or enhancements.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TechNoobForSale:
I yet have to flash anything. My boot loader unlock will stop being greyed out tomorrow. It’s okay if the drivers are not the latest or if the ROM is not gaming optimized (No ROM can really be gaming optimized either way. Depends on the game).

A smoother UI almost always = a better performing Kernel. So when you said that Kernel and ROM are as tweaked as possible, I have already been sold lmao.

About schedutil and EAS, I can easily ignore them and focus the phone on maximum performance with some simple tweaks in any Kernel Manager, discarding efficiency.

All I’m looking for is for a totally unlocked experience. CPU and GPU reaching their rated speeds and the phone performing better in any scenario, and according to your words, this is definitely the ROM I’m looking for. I’ll update tomorrow.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
well that's great ;) you shouldnt need to modify anything, schedutil has been geared towards offering both higher performance and effeciency, GPU boost is also already available when necessary, and with atomix kernel (included already) you can tweak a few things to your liking ;) hope you enjoy the rom as much as we enjoy making it possible.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TechNoobForSale:
Bootloader unlocked. Now I should flash T-Virus and I already haven't seen good experience from other users (One guy bricked his phone when flashing T Virus). I am currently on Stock Firmware, no root, October 2020 Security Patch, essentially the absolute latest. Now I don't know if the latest version of T Virus is made for this, and it also looks very picky. I don't want to brick this phone.

Not to mention that the guide THMSP offers is for Linux. I'm on Windows. I have no idea how to translate those steps. I'd really appreciate help on this one.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Røbin:
What do you mean by picky? I unlocked bootloader and flashed T-Virus a week ago following the same guide, nothing worse happened. It's all same for NB1 device. And you need NOST to flash t-virus file which is also available for windows. If you're confused i can help you.
[Nokia 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marceldossantos91:
Regarding your query - there are a few users that have messed up their devices yes, but this is not because of T-virus itself, its because users attempt to flash treble twrp or treble roms while still on stock, or vice versa, as Tvirus modifies our partition table, once your on Tvirus you must stay towards treble things, and you must use T-virus revert to revert back to stock partition table if you flash anything on stock, that is the only possible way you can brick, T-virus itself is not an issue and never was. just make sure your bootloader is unlocked and critical unlocked and don't attempt to flash a rom without T-virus installed first.

If you feel stressed, feel free to PM me on telegram and i will assist you through the process, my username is same as xda.

PS: even though they messed up their devices, i managed to help them recover ;) but the only reason they bricked in the first place is not following instructions, it was user error - certainly not Tvirus.

our roms requires the modified partition table for roms to work so Tvirus installed first is a must, only way you can mess up is trying to flash a rom without Tvirus installed first, if you don't do that, you'll be fine.

reason being - Tvirus creates a /vendor partition which nokia 8 never came with. that is why flashing the roms messes up the device on stock partition table, because it expects a /vendor partition and stock does not have one so then it goes into EDL.
