Will update OTA files soon. First build might have the OTA bug. You'd need to reflash a newer version provided in some days.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Refayatul:
Excellent Work 😺

ui style removed?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] derienardani:
Hard press home button work?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kereth:
Hi. Thank You for the ROM. Is there a chance to get a version without Gapps or flash it without them, or I'd rather should search for some way to easily remove them if I don't want them?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Coredown:
Great Rom, everything works so far. But the charging light is missing or can I set it somewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] smohroot:
Awesome! Smooth & Stable

Just phone vibrates when I turn off screen for no reason, home buttun sensitivity is high, & it'll be good to see ROM be more smoother. That's all.

Anyways, is there any way to disable home button? Or changing it's sensitivity
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Zerbrechl1ch:
The charging light is unfortunately not working. I'll try to fix it, but I can't guarantee you that I'll get it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Zerbrechl1ch:
It doesn't. I might fix it later on, but its not guaranteed
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] smohroot:
Other bugs:

OTA Updater Crashes

Quick Tap feature detects double tap on back of phone, but none of selected options work.

- there were some small minor bugs, but they were nonsense and I forgot them lol. will let you know later if found them again.

Also, you can disable blur by default. blur effects are making UI laggy. after disabling blur, I saw phone is 2x smoother.

Thanks for your great work! My dreamlte is alive and up to date again :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] progressive009:
selinux enforcing above, but it looks permissive to me. Isn't there a way to enforcing? I have dream2lte.View attachment 6070779
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Radamantys-N7000:
Thank you very much for bringing the latest version of Android to our beloved phones that are still in force. The ROM is very stable and functional for daily use. The interface is fascinating with that particular touch
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] smohroot:
A minor thing:

When using earphones, changing audio volume isn't that accurate. The amount of volume changing in each step is really high. Please increase volume steps in next release, thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Zerbrechl1ch:
if mentioned "selinux enforcing" in the known issues section, means it doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] drsamindia:
So far Using it since 15 days good daily rom but has many issues still it's far better than drepfest 13 which I used for few months, issue like wake up on tap doesn't work

Brightness settings issue

Earbud battery shown wrong

Snap chat, HDFC bank app, cdsl app and some government apps still don't work even after magisk magic

Some apps still detect root and don't work

Some settings like edge lighting has issues

Sound call drop problem is same as drep 13

As I use more I will share more issues

App store says some apps not compatible even though works on other fones

There is no Volte

Mobile data setting needs to change when setting new device and still fail to connect sometime so better to use wifi

Positive

Works smooth

No lag

No battery drain

Occassional heating issue but very less than 13

Battery lif eis amazing almost batter than stock rom as it lasts too much I can't believe really

I am pretty much happy using this rom and hope it improves as new updates come

Great work I would give

4/5 rating to this
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] XeCudo:
Can do dirty flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Zerbrechl1ch:
Once I finish the update, you should be able to dirty flash. I am currently not working on it again, but I plan to bring the March or April security update once it is released. I already fixed the charging light and the OTA bug, which means that the next update probably fixes a lot of issues that were dealbreakers for some people.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] XeCudo:
thanks man, I cant wait for it.

one another bug when i connect hdmi cable and phone is in portrait mode, i have no issue but when i try to make phone landscape, phone crash and restart.

also please fix ui lags.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] smohroot:
No update? ...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] prequisoso.dev:
This com can be worse in everything, the only good thing about it is its appearance, because otherwise it is the worst, it has no stability, it will always be braking and crashing, in some cases you will even have A forced restart, it has numerous bugs, such as application animations that simply freeze, the system snacker that closes down , the charge takes a long time to reach 100% and it still doesn't charge while you're using it, and the battery runs out very quickly, it lasts at least 4 hours of simple use, Do yourself a favor, don't download this ROM, use CR Droid or Evolution X, these are really good in almost everything.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Zerbrechl1ch:
I hope you noticed that the title says beta and that this rom is one of the two Exynos 8895 A14 roms on XDA. AOSP had some weird issues, especially with the wifi on our devices. I definitely plan to fix every issue, but for now I'll stay on that version. I already fixed the OTA and charging lights, but I'm not actively working on it at the moment.

Thanks for your comment tho but tbh I didn't really encounter those issues. A14 in general is still laggy on our devices which is the only big problem imo. Ill still update the post to make everyone aware of these issues :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Zerbrechl1ch:
yeah i'm sorry. I'm kinda busy at the moment but fixed OTA and the charging lights. I'll post an update in probably 2-3 months (might be earlier, let's see what comes along haha).

Im planning to speed up the animations with a friend a little. It will definitely not improve the performance tho :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] smohroot:
Take your time man. Rom stuffs are meant to be in free times
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Gritzip:
Great ROM!

Very stable and especially it is still possible to use Galaxy Wear or other restricted apps. So no need to root or use Magisk.

Only HOME button does not wake up Phone. I use dreamlte.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] bahaxd4:
Everything works well on dreamlte(S8) except some lagging only on lock screen and the home button doesn't do anything, battery backup is fine gives a 4 hours SOT easily, no heating problems really just random heat spikes same for other S8 ROM's .

the only deal braking problem is 4G doesn't seem to work calls and sms work fine,

i wonder if it's just me having this problem.

a big thanks to the developer for bringing this wonderful ROM to our devices it's packed with fetuers and UI customization you never get tired of it.

daily driving it for days no problems great ROM and we hope the work continues to make it better.

Edit:

just got 4G to work after watching this video didn't understand any of what he said but just following the steps got it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Gritzip:
No problems with Internet and other connections so far. Fast and perfect for daily use.

Hope that device encryption will be available next time.

[PAUSED][ROM] [14.0] [OTA] [S8/S8+/Note8] DerpFest 14 AOSP [BETA/OFFICIAL]

Since what'sapp have problems with using custom roms or root on my phone I want to downgrade my Galaxy S8 to the last official German android 9 rom.

Can I just flash the original firmware via Odin and it work?

Or can I brick my phone by downgrading so many Android versions at once/generally?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] DarkXakep:
very cool firmware, I'm looking forward to the next updates
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Zerbrechl1ch:
whatsapp should run on custom roms. I used whatsapp on my rooted s8 back then and I am running whatsapp on my rooted xiaomi 12 rn.

everything should be fine if you downgrade with odin if you choose normal csc (don't use home csc).

i mean you could even downgrade to a11 custom roms without propblems as long as you wipe data and system

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] hongthien68:
Find the latest updated roms! Is the rom that doesn't really support it is safe?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] TACOMPUTER:
fixed error, due to call recording enabled (although it doesn't record)

New error: phone is charging, device is turned off >>> and errors include: not displaying the percentage of charged battery & not starting the power; having to unplug the charger to turn on the power
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Radamantys-N7000:
Because it is a beta version, there are going to be a lot of bugs. Since the development is paused maybe you should opt for lineage21 although this rom despite the small bugs, It is fully functional. In addition to having a beautiful interface we can enjoy the latest version of Android quite personalized. Greetings!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] TACOMPUTER:
i like this ROM because it upload photo, video to GG unlimit :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Radamantys-N7000:
But you can do that from any rom, installing a magisk module. Unless you are not root
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] TACOMPUTER:
yes, i trying magisk + module unlimit

You should have back up your device firmware using MTK client first.

Flash the firmware using MTK client tool.

Rename all the files to the .bin extenstion before flash.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cam_neely:
First of all, thanks for all good advices and programs from you guys!

My question: How could I remap the Home button to go to SPB Now instead of WM Today?

Thanks an Happy New Year!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Remap...

You can use this application, which uses the touch panel to scroll in apps and use the four hardware buttons to launch apps by touch, thus giving you 4 buttons to map applications to. It's worth a look at least.

I've not heard of anyone actually remapping the 'Home' key itself.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mic2007:
you probably cannot remap home key unless you modify its keypad driver. By the time I bought this, I also thought I could remap or hook the hardware keys to other actions as other WM devices can but it does it in an unusual way that limit the possibility of the OS itself. Moreover, the keys often does not response or response wrongly, you just cannot rely on them as you could on other PDA.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] uccoffee:
try dredsensor!

it works~ but it doesnt go well with my BSB WM6.5 rom's titanium screen. can scroll or use arrow (up or down) on the titanium.

I've used my new phone for the first time today and now wish I hadn't sent my old note 20 back as part exchange. Every shot seem out of focus. I've sat for three hours trying every setting to no avail. I could take a photo of a Robin twelve feet away from me and then zoom in on the photo and see every feather on it. Every pic I took today was just like a smudge before zooming in and obviously worse when I did. I am absolutely disappointed and sad at the mistake I have made.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dvhttn:
My photos seem fine, better than the Note 20 Ultra I had (still have). And I'm betting the first update will improve things noticeably.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MartinMKR:
One of the big "insiders" on X just posted "Check your updates regularly from today" - so... sooon :)

I dont have any problems with the camera, have you checked the most common stuff - clean the lenses, shake up the phone really good, stabilization may be stuck during the transportation. Download camera assistant app and toggle to prio the focus before the speed.

Ice is even using it for some time since he posts pictures comparing old soft to the new one.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] seth_space:
if your pictures really are that bad it must be a hardware error or damaged lenz or something. So a update probably will not solve anything in this regard.

My pictures are great by every definition.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] murrayalex:
Compared to the Pixel 8 Pro I had before this, the photos are very good.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] $or$:
If your pictures are blury and not sharp, it could be a hardware issue, and I advise returning your device. If the problem is color it's because of the new color science samsung use during processing to make colors natural and more true to life so, I dont think they would release any update to change it back to colorful and vibrant colors they had on older samsung devices. If the problem is about noise, they would fix some issues in night and low light conditions.

Have you tried cleaning the lens? If that doesn't help, then yeah you have a faulty device. Send it back for a replacement unit

It's 32-bit app, yours OS is probably 64-bit only. Not gonna work out...
[General Questions and Answers] SunfireSSR:
Thanks for the info...
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
This error indicates that the APK lacks native libraries compatible with your device's processor architecture.

Hence identify the APK architecture and device architecture:

APK architecture: Use tools like APK Analyzer or Android Studio's "Build -> Analyze APK..." to check the supported architectures within the APK (e.g., armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86_64).

Device architecture: Run this command sequence

adb devices
adb shell "getprop ro.product.cpu.abilist"

The possible outputs include:

armeabi-v7a: 32-bit ARMv7

arm64-v8a: 64-bit ARMv8

x86: 32-bit x86

x86_64: 64-bit x86
[General Questions and Answers] SunfireSSR:
It's ARM64-v8a...

Shouldn't a 32-bit app run on this ?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Yes, a 64-bit phone can typically run 32-bit apps. This is because most modern Android systems include a compatibility layer called ART, which allows them to emulate 32-bit environments for older applications
[General Questions and Answers] SunfireSSR:
Apparently ART can be added from the PlayStore, but I am not knowledgable enough to figure that out.So my next step(s) would be?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
To keep you updated:

ART (Android Runtime) is an application runtime environment used by the Android operating system. ART performs the translation of the application's bytecode into native instructions that are later executed by the device's runtime environment.

ART is NOT an app you can install via Google Play Store or other app stores.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Super_Pedro:
Hi fellows,

one question; I have been trying to conect my P6P with my Hisense Vidaa Smart TV. It has a function to cast from any device in the same network.

With my old Xiaomi there were the option "send" and in the menu it appeared the TV and I could see the content of the phone in the TV.

Now, with my Pixel, I try to make the same using the QS button "send screen" and nothing happens. It seems to search for devices but no device at all appears in the list.

Edit! - I have read that our phone does not support miracast, and that for screen mirroring the only way is to use a Chromecast.

Somebody had same issue? I am trying with different apps but no way...

Thanks in advance for your experiences.

Phone is stock, with no root or unlocked bootloader. It is as it came from the shop.
