You need to flash official Samsung ROM 9 from sammobile ... using ODIN. Of course you can also update from 8 to 9 using the OTA feature from your phone, but with ODIN it's more clean. Then you need to unlock bootloader, then flash twrp with odin and then format /data to remove enforced encryption. After that you can flash this kernel and you get the demo app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nikkerston:
well that is excatcly what i did but the Demo app didnt show up but the kernel does show up properly in settings
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Flash the kernel zip again .. then magisk for root. Wait 2 - 3 minutes after boot and it should appear, if not something is wrong with my installer... and I'll fix it in next release. Let me know if it still doesn't appear and i'll post the app for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Nikkerston:
nope it hasent appeared
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Here you go.

If you like this app, you have 2 options to test full version:

1: you can buy full version and test it for 1 or 2 weeks, if you don't like it, you let me know and i'll make a refund.

2: you give me the e.mail adress from your Google play account and then you can download full version for free ... but it's limited to max 2 weeks.

My e.mail address for choice 2, you will find it in Google Play.. contact info from my app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TechNoobForSale:
Ace excuse me. How exactly can I make an init.d for the Kernel Manager to follow on boot and license confirmation to apply all my uV settings? Everytime I boot my S8, I'm basically dependant on the PC ADB to apply them, and it's pretty annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
The same commands you use in ADB you can put them in a script in system/etc/init.d/99_user.sh

This script runs after kernel control is done applying all settings.

For users without full version, the script will run on boot, but some sysfs interfaces are locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TechNoobForSale:
It doesn't seem to be working :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Don't check anything in A2N app in debug menu "restore" section, or it won't work.

Anyway, tested right now and it works for me. See my init.d script in attachments.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TechNoobForSale:
Mine looks like this. Is there any problem with it that I'm missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Try to run the script as root directly in this root explorer. Then check if the settings was applied. Best way is to check in sys/kernel/gpu/gpu_asv_table.

In text editor make sure that the language is Shell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TechNoobForSale:
Well tbh it’s a better strategy for me to just run the script willingly rather than on boot. Because unstable undervolts could mess my boot process up and I don’t want that. It’s a nice idea though. To check voltages I can simply print the DVFS table in the dmesg lmao. Should be faster
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Works?

If so, you could try to find out what's the problem, why it doesn't work out of the box for you.

So next step is to check if it'll run your user script if you run the main script:

./init.d.sh

This will run all scripts in /system/etc/init.d at once.

As for the delayed run: you can simply add a "sleep 30" cmd before voltages should be added. So the script will sleep for 30 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TechNoobForSale:
Yes it worked in the end. But what I meant is that I found a way to apply them that I am more comfortable with.

I simply placed the commands in a text document. I copy them, I execute termux, su, and then paste them. It applies everything, how I want it and when I want it.

That's why I always liked the idea of "profiles" in Kernel managers. They allow me to apply the preset I want when I want it. A2N can only load one at once, or not load any at all, waiting for you to do it instead. I don't care that much though. I need to focus on getting a new battery. Even 2496MHz shuts my phone down when simply booting A2N Kernel Manager. Battery can't keep itself from dropping below 3.2V apparently under that kind of load.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Alright. For what we need different voltage profiles?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TechNoobForSale:
Not voltages only. Settings as a whole. That can contain GPU settings, CPU settings, voltage settings, ZRAM settings, anything basically.

So if I want to switch from a high performance state to a more power efficient state, I don't need to go in each category and tune individually. That takes way more time.

Also Ace, I'm not telling you to put a new feature in, if that's the vibe I'm giving off. I'm just telling you about something that could be useful and leaving the evaluation to your better judgement. This Kernel has already come far enough as it is.

The only thing that to my eyes was ever left to add in this Kernel, was MIF OC. But as we already know, it was not possible to get it done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
It doesn't make any sense to have different settings profiles for voltage and zram and that's why I don't offer them in the profiles. Especially for zRam even the fact that it's possible to change the size without to reboot, it's still painful and it's really not required to change the app defaults for menu RAM.

So just configure zram and voltages and then you can keep them for ever. It works fine with every CPU/GPU Freq setup.

Same here, this is a one time configuration and you can switch between custom high performance and custom power efficient profile by enabling / disabling performance plus profile. Performance profile and performance plus is customizable. (Already for at least one year)

Read the buttons help text to understand how the app works.

I don't want to say as an final statement that it isn't ever possible to provide RAM OC, but so far nobody (incl. me) has managed to hack it on 8895 platform. I'm no longer trying to hack it, as I'm no more interested. I know that on other platforms there are some hacks for RAM OC, but they don't work at all for our platform. Samsung was smart enough, really.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] TechNoobForSale:
Eh I suppose you're right about the profiles. I assumed that the normal performance profile couldn't be customized. I'll take a look at those. Also I really REALLY need to get a new battery. The phone can't handle 2652MHz even for 30 seconds without crashing.

I have to disagree that Samsung has been smart, at least not in the general sense. They just have been incredibly obnoxious, by making life impossible for devs like you. And it got worse and worse with time. It's hilarious how they lock exactly what they know we will need. RAM OC here would be extremely important for example, it would benefit GPU, System, CPU, overall performance basically (Unlike your claims from quite some time ago, I discovered that our E8895 is quite bottlenecked by memory bandwidth). CPU OC meanwhile is...meh. CPU is already plenty powerful, and guess what, it was "easy" to unlock (Being one of the very first features you offered). GPU is on the far hard end, but it proved to be possible thanks to your skills. The audacity of Samsung is infuriating.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
@TechNoobForSale

I meant Samsung is smart in case of making RAM OC very hard.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] n0te8user:
The touch screen on the top of my phone screen is broken, it is no longer useful for gaming. I am currently using an iPhone 11. The application transitions of the iPhone are a little better, but the game performance of Note 8 with A2N kernel was better than iPhone 11. If it wasn't for the a2n kernel, I wouldn't have used Note8 for the last year, thank you. Are you considering a2n kernel for other phones?. I can buy that phone 😂
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
@n0te8user

Actually the S8 is still my main phone.

If I buy a new phone and it's possible to flash a custom kernel then very likely I'll build again A2N kernel for that phone. If I do, i'll post the Info here in this thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] xavivts:
Finalmente logré encontrar un zip de instalación para arrancar el teléfono y desinstalé la aplicación magisk, el teléfono se inició nuevamente en modo de recuperación e instalé el Boot zip con magisk, lo único que obtuve fue un bootloop y no inició, restauró una copia de seguridad con el kernel de la sala. Lamento no poder trabajar con este kernel. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Well then there is something wrong with your phone or you did something wrong. Try to start from scratch. It works very well for me and for many others. If you can't fix your problem, I can make a refund of the kernel app.

For this, just send me an e.mail with your order number. My e.mail you'll find in Play Store.

Edit:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] fragtion:
I love this Kernel, and I purchased the pro app from playstore

Unfortunately though, I had to stop using it when I discovered that it was partly responsible for causing my banking app to detect root. (I learned that this is triggered by the kernel booting up in permissive mode, causing seccomp flag to be disabled. In order to avoid this, the kernel must be enforcing during early boot stage...)

I know there is a way to enable fake-enforce on A2N by using "echo 2 > /sys/fs/selinux/enforce", but this doesn't really help as the Magisk module for setting SELinux on boot, uses values of 1 or 0.

It's also unfortunate that you removed the ability to toggle SELinux after boot inside the Demo app itself and that this must be done via console?

It would be awesome if we could have 3 different SELinux modes. 0 = Permissive, 1 = True enforcing, and 2 = Fake-enforce, with the option of having the kernel boot up with true enforcing by default. Then I will jump right back to using this kernel again.

In the meanwhile I'll do a nandroid backup and then put A2N back on and try hide selinux with chmod approach... if that doesn't work then I'll just need to stick with DeluxeKernel & SELinux magisk module which allows me to boot the system in enforced selinux state..

Other than that thnx for all the hard work that's gone into this great project & keep it up :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:

Yes it's the first link for the SM-G950F or FD. No need to worry, if you flash the wrong kernel you get error message and it'll show you your proper device model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] emaayan:
thanks, good thing you added the 15 minute warning..

i'm looking for a kernel that will mask the OEM unlocking because that would trip play store device integrity api, only then would i be able ot properly do root and hide root.

i see the switch for OEM unlocking has been enabled , do i need to switch it on again, to allow for root (i didn't install magisk on the first install because i wanted to see if the play store would certify me )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
OEM is always unlocked with this kernel. Google Play certified device may not work out of the box anymore. Install magisk and search on xda for play integrity fix. It's a magisk module. This will fix all the safetynet issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] emaayan:
yes i know i've tried to go the magisk way first, but no matter what i've installed with integrity fix it always came with with basic integrity, and it did with it before magisk was installed which means that only OEM unlocking was tripping it, that's why i started looking around and i saw that you'll need a kernel that has a patch that can mask OEM unlocking
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
Nope, nothing to do with OEM unlock.

You have to read the first page of the Play integrity fix thread and understand how it works.

Basically the main problem is that the current fingerprint from the module was blacklisted by Google. You need to find a fingerprint from other device model and spoof it. You can ask in the thread if you need help. Anyway, even with only basic pass, you still should get Google Play certified device!

If not, wipe data of the Play store app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] emaayan:
I tried that, in fact i'm still trying it, but i still getttinv basic and not certified, i'm running tb checker and only fails in magisk specific test
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] emaayan:
i'm getting close to giving up, i have device certified to google protect but still basic integritiy even with PlayIntegrityFork and playcurl enabled and doing clear cache and clear data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] ace2nutzer:
OK, I'll check it when I've more time. The last time that I'd check it everything was working as expected.
