Hello everyone! Excellent ROM, what a great job! Has anyone managed to solve connecting amazfit gts watches with Pixel Experience for S8+? It's the only problem I have... Thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mnd123:
You may try running the adb command with tasker on each boot. I did something similar for lockscreen shortcuts, that kept resetting to default ones after each reboot on another phone and rom.

Yes, but this guide is for Samsung Watch, in another forum they mention that they do work, but with an amazfit watch it is not working, I am looking for a solution. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] basecore7:
First of all thank you very much to make this lineageos 20.0 rom for my Samsung Galaxy S8+ available!

There are some minor bugs I can live with like the phone call bug but unfortunately right now I can not use my watch with my smartphone.

I have the same issues on my Samsung Galaxy s8+ (this rom + manually microg installed) with my smartwatch Garmin Vivoactive 4 and the app Garmin Connect. I cannot connect my smartwatch with the app. The bluetooth confirmation window does not appear. The same thing happens to me with a fitbit charge 4 and the fitbit app.

I know the Garmin smartwatch is connecting with the Garmin app on another smartphone with a lineageos 20.0 rom + microg but unfortunatley this working rom doesn't support my Samsung Galaxy S8+.

Hi all,

I want to flash magisk on my S8, but I'm puzzled by various versions of installation howto regarding magisk and Samsungs.

I'm a bit lost on this one, and I don't want to break or take the risk to just factory reset my phone in the process. I'm using it as my main phone now, without trouble so far, and I'm a 200% happy user of this ROM. By the way, kudos to the maintainer !

I even found a good GCam package (ZGCAM 7.4 v1.03359) that runs fine on my phone (albeit a bit slow but the S8 hardware shows its age on this one).

Back to magisk : I patched the LineageOS' boot.img, but what is the next step ? Should I use Odin to flash the boot image as 'AP' in download mode ? Should I just flash boot.img using TWRP ? Or brutally flash with TWRP the whole Magisk apk, renamed .zip as someone else said in this thread ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] MrShadow30:
Hii Sir

It's a great ROM, everything working fine except browser. I have installed all browsers to check but all are crashing. Except browser every other apps are working fine. Please help me out. I tried all basic things. Please have a look.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Scroogeyy:
It has to be a problem with your system/install. For me browsers e.g. brave, Chrome work fine. You probably have to reflash the room clean and set everything up again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dirk1024:
I have installed magisk on my S8+. Just rename Magisk-v25.2.apk to Magisk-v25.2.zip and install it with twrp. On YouTube you can find some videos demonstrating it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] slanglade:
Hi,

Thanks for your answer. You're talking about v25.2 and not the latest v26.1. Is it because of some incompatibility and we should not try to update further than v25.x ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dirk1024:
I didn't notice the new version yet. I think 26.1 will work the same way but I am actually on 25.2.

To be the perfect ROM, you only need to repair the Bluetooth BUG and the connection of the amazfit smarwatch

Any way to enable VoLte on lineage os Galaxy S8 exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] arnecc:
Hey, could someone give me some hints on how to install this on a quite outdated S8+ (sm-g955f - exynos i guess)? I recently obtained the phone and want to update it so a friend can use it. Its currently on Android 9.

I'm familiar with installing a custom recovery, flashing, adb, etc.

I was just wondering whether it would be advisable to update the OS first through the official OTA for some firmware updates or if doing so would be mistake (e.g. locking the bootloader or something). Or can I go straight for installing TWRP and flashing this ROM?

Thank you very much!

F.Y.I. My xiaomi (mi) smart band 4 works with the LOS 19.1 version and the Xiaomi app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Scroogeyy:
If you can install twrp, then do it without updating. Why should you update it? But it's important that you don't have your one ui encrypted. It can be fixed in twrp but I have had a lot of trouble with that

Hello, which lineage os version doesn't have this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Majid fd:
Hello

I have some questions for the developers

Why don't you add these things to this ROM!

1. Recording phone conversations

2. always on Display (not like OneU! You can provide something like that!)

3 more options to choose the font! More customizations for the status bar and navigation bar

4 Unlocking with face and fingerprint

5 dynamic wallpapers of the lock screen (like the one in hades Rom v3) and the wallpaper changes every time the screen is opened, and the images are updated every two weeks

And some things about that - why the installed camera lacks more features

About messaging software and phone and contacts! Why are the latest versions of Google not used? Or even its gallery really lacks any aesthetic aspects

I thank the developers! You do not owe us! I understand this

These are the things that can make users use their phones with pleasure!

Changing the main software such as: phone - messenger - contacts - gallery and even camera can be good + entering the options I mentioned above

I apologize - I hope you will not be offended
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mistickalone:
Users says LineageOS 19 doesn't have the problem (I think it's more a android 13 problem, since LOS 19 uses android 12... Correct me if I'm wrong)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Scroogeyy:
2. AOD works

4. Unlocking via fingerprint works

And for the apps you could use alternatives such as open camera, gcam and the apps by simple mobile tools
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Majid fd:
I had installed the ROM twice

I never found the relevant settings - I just saw a clock that I don't know how to enable or disable! nothing !

I did not say that the fingerprint does not work

In OneUi - we could use fingerprint and iris or face together - two things together

But I only saw the fingerprint in the settings

As for applications - the one that is installed by default works better

I can download and install phone software or Google contacts and messages

But this takes up both system and storage space unnecessarily

It's really a question for me why these default items are not installed!! There is a special reason or not! I do not know

Even when I had an S2 and used its custom ROMs, the same issues existed

Maybe it's because of the licenses! I don't know
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] nicolo777:
What is the best solution to address the 80% battery cap issue on S8 models? Can a custom ROM or kernel fix this issue, or are there any ROMs or tips to bypass the battery cap after flashing custom ROMs? Additionally, could you provide some useful links that explain this problem in more detail?

Dear everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. I've been using your los 13 ROM that makes Android 13 compatible with my Samsung Galaxy S8 for quite some time now and it has been working great. However, I recently encountered an issue when trying to connect my phone to a larger monitor using an adapter. The other screen briefly shows a flickering mirror image of my phone before my device restarts. This feature is important to me for personal use and it has been frustrating to deal with.

I was wondering if any of you have experienced similar issues and if you have found any solutions or workarounds. Additionally, I wanted to bring this issue to the attention of the ROM developer and ask if there are any plans to address it in future updates. If needed, I can provide a crash log to help diagnose the problem.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. I appreciate any insights or suggestions you may have.

Best regards,

Leon

Thanks for your answers. I flashed v25.2 just to be sure, and then use Magisk app frontend to update to v26.1. Everything is working flawlessly, so I guess I could have flashed v26.1 directly.

Hi all,

I've got a problem with "IDF Mobilités" / "Bonjour RATP" applications (Paris subway tickets using NFC), that refuse to work on my S8 even if they are designed to work with Galaxy phones. But I guess that's because LineageOS only includes "HCE" protocol for NFC. And not the Samsung-specific "SE" mode that these application (and RATP's hardware readers) are implementing.

Is there any possibility to reactivate / add SE in LineageOS ?

PS : I'm using this ROM since a couple of weeks now, and it really is flawless, snappier than stock ROM before and with better battery. Really happy user of this ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kundifon:
I really don't know why you complain so much. Nobody force you to use anything you don't want to. It's your phone, just delete what bothers you and install desired apps.

For unwanted application is the simpliest solution that you disable them. The icon disapears but it's still installed.

Another way is to permanent delete unwanted apps. Fell free to delete all those and find replacement yourself if you need it.

/system/product/app/Aperture
/system/product/app/Etar
/system/product/app/ExactCalculator
/system/product/app/Gallery2
/system/product/app/Jelly
/system/product/app/messaging
/system/product/app/Recorder
#
/system/product/media/audio/alarms
/system/product/media/audio/notifications
/system/product/media/audio/ringtones
/system/product/media/audio/ui/Effect_Tick.ogg
#
/system/product/priv-app/Contacts
/system/product/priv-app/Dialer
#

You can delete those manually with TWRP build-in file manager. Not sure but this apps may come back with OTA updates.

Another and I personaly think better way is to put this code/part of code in debloater. There is a great solution comming with Nikgapps. It has OTA survival feature. So when OTA updates arrival, gapps are bacuped and later on restored. During this process debloater execute code you inputed and deletes unwanted apps if they perhabs come back with updates.

About Nikgapps, there is default that they replace OASP app with google apps (eg. stock contacts with google contacts, ...) If you want to keep stock and have both apps, you have to configure. Just play a little bit with debloater.config and nikgapps.config inside the installation zip.

I'm interrested for this too. Please share info when you find out more and link for such application.

Hi,

I am completely new to this and I want to install this on my old Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F) but I still have a few questions left:

What Guide do you recommend for installing this OS?

Are there any mistakes I should avoid that could make my device unusable forever?

Is it possible to go back to the default OS my Phone had before (in case I realize that some features / apps I forgot to mention are not working)?

What features are NOT working at the moment?

What apps will be pre installed / How degoogled is it? (Like Google Play Store, Aurora Store, Image Gallery, Browser, Email Client, …)

Will the following Apps work:

Banking:

VR Banking

VR SecureGo plus

Pay (Unfortunately the app is just named Pay. It‘s from Atruvia AG)

WhatsApp

YouTube

Google Maps

Thats it. Please let me know if you have any other tips or things I should be aware of.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Majid fd:
You haven't rooted your phone yet?

Well, let me give you an explanation

To install any custom ROM! You will have to root your phone

To root, refer to the relevant pages and do this carefully! It is simple but if not done carefully it will waste your time

If you root the phone with the same official Samsung ROM! Samsung services will not work!

Like Samsung's health program! Secure folder, Samsung payment and...

Of course, there are easier ways to activate these, don't worry

If you want to install a custom ROM, you should pay attention to this point

Features such as heart rate sensor, iris lock will not be available at all

And there is no solution

Of course, we have two custom ROMs based on Android 9 and 10 and OneU and all Samsung services work.

Don't worry about Google, there won't be any problem in any ROM

I have to say about banking software in any ROM! If you root the phone! They fail! We use Magisk for root! This software has an option to hide the root mode! In that case, banking software also works

There is a solution for almost most problems

Except for some services specific to Samsung S8, such as heart rate and ... and some Samsung software

You can see videos about ROMs on YouTube
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Majid fd:
I do not complain kundifon

i ask

There are some doubts that I wanted to get answers to

No one owes me anything to sue them

About the solution you gave

I did not understand how to do this

Anyway, with some searches, I found out that the customization of some other ROMs is more

However, I prefer to wait

Because no one answers the questions in any ROM :)))))))

I do not know why :))
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Sirito:
Can you add smart watches for the not working section please?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kundifon:
Custom roms come without gapps. Thats google's demand back in times of cyanogen mod rom (LineageOS grew up on cyanogen legacy). I read this somewhere.

Back to the question/explanation. I did the list which apps you can delete and the path where you find them. How to delete them is your choice.

Wery likely you have TWRP on your galaxy S8. Boot to TWRP, mount the system partition and use file manager in TWRP. But you may have to manually delete al this thins again and again on every update.

So I suggested you to put this code in to debloater. This is feature of Nikgapps. I also prefer Nikgapps due its install customization. Just read faq on Nikgapps website and forum link I pasted you. You will quckly master to configure debloater.config and nikgapps.config located inside gapps installer zip file.

If you root the phone you may delete unwanted apps with some root file explorer. But some experts warn me that this is NOT the most recomended way!

That's from my side what I know and can help/answer.

May builds are up, here is a brief changelog:

- Merged May 2023. Security update

- Misc performance and stability improvements

- Synced with LineageOS source

There will likely be few more builds this month with more exciting improvements (Like ones s7 got last month), Lineageos 19.1 and 18.1 will also get updated later this week or next week.

Huge thanks to everyone who supported this porject, donations towards this project help cover the build server cost and get me coffee for time spent working on new features/releases.

Enjoy new builds and stay safe

Hi Ivan_Meler,

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Sguita6:
Hey there, I tried to re-flash Gapps and lineage as a clean flash , and while I wiped it, I was stoopid so I forgot that it would wipe the lineage and nikgapps files as well. Now I have no os and I have rooted my device. I think I can get it to work but I need to get the files to flash with twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] uukelele:
First of all, rooting your phone won't make a difference. If you want to keep it rooted, flash magisk after you revive the phone. Your best attempt would be to sideload the files through adb on a different computer. If that doesn't work (although it probably will) you may want to download the files onto an SD card or OTG USB stick and insert it into your phone. If it is formatted correctly, (just use Windows/Mac's default filesystem) then TWRP should recognise it.

Hope this helped!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Sguita6:
I left it stuck on twrp overnight and then the next morning when you replied I took the micro sd card out and put it into a different device. I then formatted it(using android) and put the gapps and Los 20 file onto it. I put it into the phone and it showed up in twrp. It did take me a while to find the files though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] DarkDaemon22:
Not for me unfortunately. I can make a call or two (with or without bluetooth) and everything works fine. After that when I place or receive a call, i cannot hear the other person. Apparently they can hear me. Even if i disconnect my bluetooth or change headphones, it does not fix the problem.

The only fix i've found is rebooting.

Would really appreciate your help on this @Ivan_Meler . Please let me know if i can provide logs or something to help debug.

Other than that, this rom is rock solid.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kundifon:
Phone suppose to be for calling and yes bluetooth handset is also important to answer calls during drive.

I think this is quite important bug (sound in call, volume adjust and mute function are affected)!

So don't hesitate and post logs and detailed description how you reproduce issue.

I kindly ask if there is any possibilty to elevate the priority of this bug. Thanks to very active developer @Ivan_Meler

Here is my contribution and I will continue collaboration according to my abilities and knowledge (but I'm not any kind of programmer).
