I just did a dirty flash following Rafael's post, without a backup (because I am dumb and irresponsible and have nothing to backup on) and it worked for me!

The only problem is... people... BACK UP YOUR APPS!!

The flash will wipe all of your apps clean, and Lineage will ask you to use a backup to restore all of your apps after v21 is installed! I have to manually reinstall everything now uggghhhhh

Either way, thank you again Ivan!

My parents got my S8+ used some years back for about like $200 and you've singlehandedly been the person keeping this phone alive with everything from security and bug fixes to an actual in-settings updater not requiring me to re-flash every time a new update comes out.

I love my S8 as scuffed as it is, especially since its so cheap buying it used. Android 14 has some new power/battery stuff that will likely help get more life out of the S8's old dying battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Alcahez:
Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Alcahez:
Use this setup with Gapps Full...

It is working well for me, except for the problems I mentioned before.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] XeCudo:
thanks , i will test it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Furrkan:
I have problems trying to use Android Auto wired or wirelessy. Connection via BT to car is seen as Failed.

I use NikGapps Full from droid.

Any idea how to fix or what I can provide?

Thanks!

Furkan
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] adamppatch:
I don't know if this is relevant, but when I dirty flashed this ROM, the Android Auto installation of Nikgapps failed (with an error message during NikGapps install that would be easy to miss). A clean install was required, and Android Auto now works perfectly with my car.

So, if you dirty flashed the ROM, Android Auto won't work. If you clean flashed, then I'm afraid I don't know the solution.

I do find that the BT connection with my girlfriend's car (which doesn't have Android Auto) is unreliable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Furrkan:
Hey,

I did a clean flash ROM. Nothing dirty

But i do have to mention that my Play Store instantly updated my Android Auto App. Would this have caused problems?

And which partition would i need to wipe to make a clean or dirty install of the Nikgapps?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] adamppatch:
If you did a clean install of the ROM and then immediately flashed Nikgapps, then, as far as I'm concerned, you did everything right! Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can help.

Sorry I can't be more helpful!

(Play store didn't instantly update my Android Auto, so maybe that's something to investigate...)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Furrkan:
Hey,

i fixed it by using the official Release of NikGapps Full instead of an Elite Release!

Im still trying now to make worth Customs Apps like Screen Mirror, Screen2Auto on my Android Auto tho. If u have any infos here, lmk!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] XDAGC:
If you have to make a clean install (recommended), 1st format the Data partition, second wipe to factory reset, third install LineageOs and gapps without reboot (be sure to select the right Gapp version), and then make the first boot.

Does it work with S8 PLUS DUOS G955FD model? What about 2 SIMs? Thanks

Yo tengo ese y funciona perfecto. Saludos
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] FlooferLand:
I'm wondering if this is something Ivan has to implement, or if it's something simply not possible due to the S8's USB controller,

Is there a way to get the "MIDI" and the new "Webcam" USB configuration when plugging into another device such as a PC?

I tried getting MIDI working even back on LineageOS 20 to no avail as it didn't show up in the USB configuration menu
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] HiQual:
The android file manager built-in to LOS 21 is restricting file and folder access to "protect" me.

Does anyone know a way around this please?

I just want to be able to access all the files on my SD card.

Many thanks.

PS I am rooted and have tried a recommended Magisk module called "NoStorageRestrict" - but that cannot see the SD card.

May i ask for a feature? Can we habe a proper external Display Support? In your A13 and A14 Versions when i connect the Phone to a external Display, the Display stutters and then the Phone restarts. By the Way. Thank you very much for the releases.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] MeysamBayati:
hi there

does anyone test this Rom with an A2N Kernel?

I have a fast battery-draining issue and there so I was thinking of updating the kernel from here

if anyone tried it and it was ok pls reply to me 🙏
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gabriolinari:
hi there!

Thanks for your amazing work, just wondering if this "Storage Encryption" has been repaired/patched, planning to upgrade my aging Android 9 with this latest shiny v21.

And sorry for nOOb question -> storage encryption, would that be what we get at login "unlocking phone with the spinning thing yes/no" - or that one is phone encryption, etc?

cheers!

Gab
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Niccolò Paganini:
Hi! Thank you for your wonderful work. What do you mean by "Storage encryption not working"? Does it mean that with this ROM the smartphone is not encrypted? That would be a terrible security flaw, a real red flag...

Please clarify this subject.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] kundifon:
Nothing to worry about if you aren't a member of terrorist ;)

If storage is encrypted, you can access to data partition only when you boot to the system. In case of boot loop or any other system failure that you canno't boot to rom anymore, all your data will be lost.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] lol28:
Can you please add KernelSU support?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Refayatul:
yes
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] gabriolinari:
cheers, that's hilarious 😊

However what @Niccolò Paganini and myself where referring to is whether or not Phone Encryption is working vs Storage Encryption.

On my s8 Samsung Stock Under BIometrics & Secuirty i have now:

- Secure Startup, this is "Phone Encryption" if i am not mistaken

- Encrypt SD card, this would be "Storage Encryption" instead

While i don't use "Encrypt SD card" i do use "Phone Encryption".

We just wanted to make sure that the former, "Phone Encryption" is working.

Because the wording "Storage Encryption" doesn't explicitly imply if it's the PHONE or the SD card's encryption not working (or both).

Thanks for clarifying.

I'm using Lineage 20, can I update to this version?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Cpt.Proton:
Hi,

thx for your work. So far it seems to work, but I have one annoying issue.

When someone calls me, they always hear themselves, like an echo. This happens in several apps, not just the normal phone app.

However, the problem does not occur when using a headset.

I had this issue with LineageOS 20 too.

I made a clean flash, with NikGapps-basic-ionut-arm64-14-20240223.zip

Does anyone else has this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] XDAGC:
Hi there, are you using your speaker while calling?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Cpt.Proton:
Hi XDAGC,

it does not make a difference. This happens with and without speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] XDAGC:
I just can say that I don't have that problem and it seems that it's not an issue with most of the people using this rom. I had the same problem with a s7 phone and this was really annoying. I had to switch back to stock rom which could somehow resolve the problem. I do hope others may have a working solution for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Cpt.Proton:
Thank you for your answer, even if it doesn't help me at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] bahaxd4:
fresh install on the S8 with NickGapps core everything works fine except the laggy animations it gets slightly better on other launchers like Lawnchair and nova but it's still there also nearby share prompts an update to quick share window that desepears after pressing update and nothing happens leaving you with no working nearby share.

other than that thanks ivan for this wonderful rom crazy how a 7 year old device could run android 14 this good.

Edit:

just got nearby share to upgrade to quick share by spoofing the device to a pixel 8 pro using Pixel props Magisk module.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] dabizstan:
Hello,

The ROM works pretty damn good for a device in this age! I had to rescue my s8 because my fold 3 broke, and I am really surprised that I can run the latest android on this!

Only issue I have found is that during calls, sending dtmf tones through the phones keyboard seems not to be working. I also tried with a different phone app, but make any difference. Is there any way to fix this? Or maybe is a hidden setting?

About animations yeah sometimes gets a bit laggy, not sure if bug or just device age. What I did is to remove the animations on the developers settings, this way gives a smoother feeling and goes faster to apps

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] frittahubris:
I've never installed a custom rom before, so sorry if these are stupid questions.

I've just realised that phones stop getting security updates, so I'm deciding between new phone or custom Rom. So firstly, does this custom Rom get latest security updates? And will it continue to?

And secondly, what are the steps required to install it? I read the original post but didnt quite understand what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] XDAGC:
Usualy there are monthly updates with new security updates. But this only as long Ivan Meler is willing to do this... Thanks a lott Ivan :)

Well, if it's the first time you do this, then you will have to learn a lott of new terminology and tools.

1. you have to unlock your bootloader to be able to flash the custom rom and other things

2. with Odin (tool to flash on Samsung devices) you will have to install TWRP for Galaxy S8

3. with TWRP you will be able to flash the custom rom and GAPPS (google applications) if you need them.

4. If you do banking with your phone, be aware that as it is the rom will not pass certain security checks.

You will have to root your phone with Magisk and install Modules to bypass the security checks.

To sum up, you will be quite buisy till your phone is ready.

*All these steps are well documented on the internet.

Be successfull!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] R3van:

Good day all, Can anyone perhhaps provide ANY solution whatsoever for using either Samsung Wallet or Google Wallet with LineageOS WITHOUT Magisk or ANY rooting (or going back to Android 9, obviously)? I simply refuse to root my phone (my choice) so currently I cannot use either Wallet for payments. I really would appreciate ANY assistance here, please.

EDIT: Not to worry, I have decided that since none of the Samsung apps will work in Lineage, which is a non-starter for me, I will be going back to Android 9 stock ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] LionDGem:
Hi there. I had to try many times until it worked. no-verity install always failed until I tried the latest TWRP 3.2.x.x. Then all worked fine. I copied all files to the SD and installed from there. Another hint: preload could not be wiped so I wiped it manualy. No I have LOS 21 up and running. Thanks :)

For installing TWRP I used the following guide (but don't use the md5 file in Odin - it will crash. just use the downloaded .tar of TWRP)

1. download TWRP from https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/twrp-3.2.3-2-dreamlte.img.tar.html

2. follow guide at https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-official-3-6-1-x-twrp-for-galaxy-s8-and-s8-exynos.3847712/

Today i switch to xiaomi eu rom from crDroid and it's best rom ever, i regret 2 years on lagging custom roms.

1. Flash rom via fastboot script which you get after you unzip rom

2. Install orange fox via fastboot boot twrp. img

3. Flash Cygisk for root, enable zygisk for root hide

4. Flash pixelify from magisk for unlimited Photos app version

5. Enable old miui notification bar design + nova launcher

I am thinking opposite, switched from xiaomi.eu to CrDroid. There is no difference between MIUI and Xiaomi.eu (just small things like bb), you can get xiaomi.eu things with root also. If you use old device like F3, just use AOSP.

There is stability issues on CrDroid currently, i get random crashes like 5 times in a day. It's really annoying. I will move to GhostOS.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] StainedSky:
Hello all, I have a Galaxy tab A7 lite (sm-t220) and im trying to downgrade my device from Android 13 to 11 (downloaded the firmware from samfw). I followed the tutorial (from here: https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-down...-if-device-is-in-higher-binery.4561665/page-3) and managed to flash the custom .tar file (boot,super,recovery and vbmeta). But while it was flashing in Odin, my device said something like sw rev check failed : vbmeta (sometimes it would say super instead)and binary fused 6>1(im just going on what i remember). Then when the device booted, there were messages saying "set warranty bit: vbmeta" and also "set warranty bit: boot"and the device keeps rebooting. When I try to flash the custom ap file with the Bl, and Csc Odin fails. But when I just flash the ap file, it flashes but device gives the error about fused binary. Then when I try to flash a custom recovery and try to format the device I kept getting errors about mounting the device. How can I fix this?
