I had the same problem with Samsung wearable app, the application told me that the system had been modified and that I could not use the application.

Solution found:

used https://github.com/Pixel-Props/pixel.features/releases,

install ONLY Props option, this thing will turn your phone into Google Pixel.

I hope this solution will work for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] DoxWorry:
First of all, thank you very much Mr. Ivan Meler for the work done to bring this phone model up to date,

I'll give you my current feelings:

to match my previous use at the System level, I had to install the following applications:

- Google GBoard: Google # for keyboard

- Twilight: Urbandroid # for Blue light filter

- Nova Launcher: TeslaCoil Software # for menu customization

I noticed some missing functionality compared to my old use (Stock):

- Default blue light filter

- "Close all" button (JPG attached)

- "Lock this app" button (GIF attached)

- Bixby ReMap Button (possible to have the default choice on the system ? (or unless I have to flash something on Magisk?)

- Importante Feature : Call Over WIFI Option (JPG attached)

Thanks again for your work.

OS upgrades don't like to be dirty flashed , I would say no , but you never know until you try , it's fail or win ...then next time you know for sure.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Concept48:
So now you learned that upgrade OS dirty don't work.. Put the phone back into twrp , connect to pc , and start with getting all your files and stuff from the phone , to pc and then do as I said format data etc install
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] wmrichard:
First of all: Thanks Ivan, LineageOS 20 works awesome, and is now my daily driver, with Magisk and passing safety net (with universal Safetynetfix).

As I first didn't want to removing my data, I first chose to Dirty Flash, this is NOT possible, best case scenario , you can boot Android one time, but after that you have bootloop as mentioned by others.

Yesterday I chose a clean flash, and my Galaxy s8 is faster than ever (with restoring Google Backup). It is faster than it ever was on Stock ROM and it just feels like a new device. And most functions of LineageOS are now implemented (for me). So thank you for making the old Samsung phones still functional!.

Hello, I installed this but now im stuck on first boot screen with the line and the circle moving across it. How long does this take? Did i do something wrong?

Thanks for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dirk1024:
The first boot will take same time. Roundabout maybe 10 minutes. Looks like something went wrong. You should follow the installation instructions precisely.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Scroogeyy:
I have an unstable WiFi connection. If I'm not in direct reach of the router, the connection breaks up often. Other devices have no problem in that area. It's really annoying.

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Adanor123:
I really like this ROM, first tests seemed to be very stable.

However when trying to switch to this ROM with all my data I encounter a strange bug:

Clean flashed this ROM

Flashed NikGapps (tried latest Omni and Full).

When initialising and trying to restore my data (Apps, contacts etc.) from a google drive backup, the phone keeps constantly rebooting, starts the google data recovery, reboots again. The system crashes as soon as a network connection is established.

Any idea where this strange behaviour comes from and what I could do to restore my data?

Thanks a lot for any advise!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rafael.ruivo:
Hi everyone, I might have found a fix (or at least a workaround) for the mute calls. I've disabled the Google phone app, deleted all data (probably redundant step) and installed lineage own dialer. Rebooted and no mute calls since, for three days already.

I've used the basic gapps, and I remember someone mentioning that core would be better for that exact reason :-)

It is worth noting that I didn't had issues before the 3 May update (not blaming or complaining, just context). This was the first update that installed OTA (no need to format system and recover the apps from their partition).

Also probably not relevant, but ever since I've installed it in February, the version says November 2022, for some reason. Anyone noticed that as well? Kernel, security patch and all else seems updated, but the updater keeps offering me the update that I've just installed :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kundifon:
I tested on prevoius builds without any gapps. Just Lineage 20 rom, clean instal. This bug was present. So, no matter stock dealer or google dialer, it was the same.

How did you install gapps this time? Have google dialer replaced the stock one during gapps instalation?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] testusername1:
deleting or disabling fusedlocation results in bootloop i want to delete fusedlocation no matter what
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rafael.ruivo:
I've replaced the stock with Google's during installation, used NikGapps basic. Audio still works well since the last time I posted, and I had the car's Bluetooth, Watch5 and more connected via bt. Haven't tested galaxy buds yet, hope those words don't come back to bite me :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] tosher_43:
Hi, I am very happy with this ROM. But one issue, last weekend I was abroad, and data roaming was not working. I could call and get called, and I can switch from enable/disable data roaming. But it would say No internet access when using the browser and I could not receive Whatsapp messages. What can be the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] vlad9210:
No tricks with NickGapps and editing nikgapps.config helped me. The problem of hearing on calls remained. Since I have software that records conversations, I can hear myself and the person I'm talking to perfectly when I play the files. I can conclude that the connection works fine and the audio mixer in this firmware does not work. With the help of the magisk module I was able to get the calls to work fine, but there is a second pause of silence after the connection is established (https://github.com/reiryuki/AOSP-soundfx-Remover-Magisk-Module)

Sorry for the bad English. wrote with the help of DeepL
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kundifon:
It can be your settings!! Check by your operator how must be.

In my case, in our country we have a low cost operator (bob), which uses mobile network from his big sisters company (A1). So the owner of both companies/operators is the same, only each operatos have own trademark and own network settings.

So if you put bob SIM into phone, it obtain automaticly APN settings from A1 and not from bob as should be. There is absolutely no problem in home cell network powered by A1. When you go abroad, then you have troubles, data connection in roaming doesn't works! You have to manually change few addresses in APN settings and then works. Look in Settings/Network and Internet/SIM cards/Access poin names/- APN list entries - if there are right settings for your operator.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kenaeny:
Been using for 2 months now and its bullet stable. Havent encountered any bugs orso the performance and the battery usage are still great
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] tosher_43:
Thanks for your reply!

The APN settings were set automatically by my provider. But they differed slightly from the ones they put on their website. This weekend I am going abroad again, so I'll check to see if that was the issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] tosher_43:

Sorry to ask, it's been a while not using Samsung...

I'm running LOS for my daughter's phone, with Family Link

After first boot on lineageos+nikgapps (full), OEM lock will be back, cannot really reboot the device without losing the ability to boot back to custom ROMs. What are you guys doing to keep it unlocked?

Besides LineageOS hides OEM unlock option which would make perfect sense on other devices, but not in Samsung. Am I missing something?

Many thanks in advance!

PS: Found the problem but sadly not the solution, I'll leave it here just in case it helps anyone

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/p7crqi

Looks like installing Family Link will reenable OEM lock as protection from tinkering the device, however it's not possible to set it back from LOS ... Custom ROMs and family link are a no go!

You don't need to rename it actually

You can just flash with the .APK file directly

Hello all , forgive me in advance if I'm posting in the wrong place . I just wanted to ask if anybody has a copy of the files twrp and lineageOS needed to root the RCA Tablet Viking Pro 2 model number RCT6a03W12 ? It's running android oreo , I've searched all over this forum and all over the web for the files , but no luck . And there seems to be absolutely nothing on XDA about this particular model tablet whatsoever . I tried rooting it with kingo root and corrupted the firmware , now the tablet has very poor performance . Such a bad experience , I'm not in a position to just trash it and replace with a better one so I'm hoping someone has the files I need to salvage this one . I also tried rom manager , iroot but none helped . Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated . Thanks in advance

Rooted using latest magisk, I also have latest version of twrp, However when I turn on zygisk the phone freezes after a short time and restarts. I can't find a solution but to disable it. That way I lose Safety net fix and face Id mod.

I actually Run linageos 19 with magisk hide and gapps. Is IT possible to Just Upgrade to linageos 20? Or Is a complete Reinstall the way to Go?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ayhamthedude1:
Fixed! flash latest magisk alpha which still has magisk hide, download latest riru, and download last Universal saftey net fix for riru and configure deny list. For face Id, instead of using zygisk lsposed, use riru version and continue normally.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] ayhamthedude1:
I'd personally back up and preform clean install, make sure to use Nikgapps core or AOSP dialer breaks.

Hi! With the latest update/fix my S8 has issues with normal phone calls!

When connected to the WLAN, I can not call out !!

I have to disconnect WLAN, reboot and the I can make an outbound call. Connection only shows "H+" but not 4G

Provider is "Help.at" in Austria

With the release from 8.7.2023 everything was ok. So it must have to do with latest changes

Thanks for any support!

Can I "role back" by just running the update of 8.7.2023 again? (to not loos data)

SOLVED !

Iogged out of the WLAN and logged in again (new lease) - now it works. No idea why but it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] spyrou007:
Thank a lot @Ivan_Meler for this new build. All good my end.

Before the fix:

the direct BT connection with the Bose speaker was working

the direct BT connection with the car was working

the direct BT connection with the Huawei Watch GT was working

the indirect BT connection via the `Zepp Life` App , for the Mi Band 5 was NOT working

the indirect BT connection via the `Renpho` App , for the Smart Scale was NOT working

Now :

Everything works.

Cheers mate

Have you tried to follow this post ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rafael.ruivo:
This seems like an issue with GAPPS/Google Play services, I remember facing something similar earlier this year. How are you installing it, and which package?

On a more general note, I recommend always creating a NANDroid backup in TWRP, it has saved me multiple times if things don't work out. I can send a print of the partitions I backup later today :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] rafael.ruivo:
@Ivan_Meler , first and foremost thank you for the amazing updates, my device performs better than new (and better than much newer devices :-))

Second and minor, I have a question regarding "smart" flip covers: do you think that a package like LineageOS FlipFlap would work on this ROM? I have a Samsung LED cover, and I tried compiling it from the source - but I realized I have no idea on how to do that, so I just gave up! But maybe you have heard about it?

I'm running the latest update on my s8+ exynos and still having two major issues:

1. When I make a phone call, the people on the other end of the line can hear me but I can't hear them. This happens with or without my Bluetooth headphones connected. The only fix is reboot and even that only fixes it for one or two calls. Incoming calls fail the same way.

2. When I try to wake the phone up to unlock it, sometimes it just shows me a black screen for 30 seconds as if it's frozen. None of the other buttons work either, the phone is pretty much frozen. When it does wake up it shows the power menu as if it thinks I held down the power button.

Anyone have any solutions to either of these problems?

@Ivan_Meler the first bug is pretty critical and has been reported by multiple users before, any chance you can make that a priority?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kundifon:
No idea why are such bugs ignored. Ok meantime developer fixed bluetooth connectivity issue. Thank him for this one! Maybe he'll now find time for next thing - call issues. I did my best to help him and community. Now I have no choice but to wait patiently.
