It's quite slow with Samsung hardware : Exynos is not as developers friendly as Snapdragon
The galaxy S8 released like 8 months ago and there is still no fully functionnal AOSP ROM for it.
So yeah, it will come, but we'll have to be patient

Thanks for the help. Oneplus 5T it is then

just wanna follow up on this threat. Are there any plans for a lineage os rom for the samsung a8+?
Really hard to find a phone with dual sim, dedicated micro sd slot and compass sensor and available costum rom without google apps....

It is not likely to happen

I'm not a dev but i could help with testing.
I'm just a noob (910V) ,, but I am willing to be a beta tester....very much looking forward to this build...
Sounds good, if you need help, here I am, but Telegram its a better way to do discuss :fingers-crossed:
I'm not a dev but I have a note 4 Sprint and can be a tester or do other tasks. I'm in!
Can we use something other than WhatsApp? I 2nd the telegram notion.
Remember when XDA used to have Logic and common sense ?
Let's go over this one more time
You want to port Android 8.0 to Note 4. Are you talking about porting official TW Oreo from Note 8, or porting all TW features - proprietary, closed-source Samsung code - from TW to AOSP?

Good luck with Porting a 64Bit System to a 32Bit Device... Simply not possible. And ported 64Bit Sammy Features on 32Bit AOSP? Mhh... The Note 4 may be the last good Sammy Device, but we will never see newer Samsung Software on it as Marshmallow Ports or pure AOSP/Lineage. Correct Me if i'm wrong but i think that's it....
Lineage 14.x is running great,if the drivers are there why slouldnt run a N8port dousnt run?

Well generally speaking when you port a rom (Nougat , MM whatever the case maybe) from a 64bit device, you dont port it as 64bit obviously unless the arch is unlocked and ready for it, you port it as 32Bit, the only limitation in terms of Touchwiz is when a certin app has only 64bit libs (Bixby voice is a great example) so even if you run api 24 (nougat) you wont be able to use such apps, But firmware side you can port it without issues, All 64bit phones include a set of 32bit libs aswell. and in terms of snapdragon Note 4 , yes you will never see a nougat or higher ""TOUCHWIZ"" based rom, Exynos however is already running Nougat.

As we all know you cant run TouchWiz based applications on AOSP (SystemUI / Launcher and many more) due to the fact that they require SEM codes (Samsung experience mobile), If samsung had their system sources up then you would have been able to, But just converting LOS 14 or AOSP to TouchWiz is just not gonna happen

because will never work since sammy needs his own android runtime etc etc for boot because it have methods etc needed from the framework etc. try to install the n8 launcher on lineage and you see what happens. it give fc. even after you add the missing method it will again fc and even when you add all missing methods that launcher needs in frameworks it will still fc because methods in the main libs are missing. and using sammy libs on lineage one is impossible since after some libs replace it will give a nice blackscreen
Hello,i have a question,the dates from the N4 and Nexus 6 are quite similar:

For the nexus 6 exists an Android 8 port,
https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage...oogle-nexus-6/
So,is it possible to make from this one a poert for our N4??

I think it is possible to port Oreo to the Note 4, but not TW version of Oreo (in other words, include all Note 8 features in an Oreo port)
It will most likely be ported as Lineage or RR without the extra Sammy features, idk.

[REQUEST] NOTE 9 rom port for NOTE 8

Hello is there any one that is going to port the galaxy note 9 rom to our beloved device (if possible) ?
and if yes , i will gladly help to test the rom until its up to the other user
Thanks for all of the developers for their work and Im sorry if i posted in the wrong section .

I don't think there's really anything new on the Note9 worth porting. The only really big feature is one that likely won't work on our devices, anyway. Most of what's new, we might get with our 8.1 update, anyway.

what are you talking about man, the price difference between the 2 phones are so narrow , and roms are made for people to keep their phones so what's the point of buying a new s9 or note 9 and install new roms on them??
maybe i didn't get what you meant but phones as note 3 and 4 are still getting S9 custom roms from developers!!!! why will devs move to new devices that don't need anything!!!
Will the note 9 Rom enable dex without dex dock needed for our note 8 that would be great

U should just take a look at what is going on around before such a brave statement. Most of good and best devs are upgrading their devices accordingly to their released. And I simply can tell U is it worth - my N8 was rooted 3h after I bought brand new but few days with stock firmware. And it was really surprising for me (but this is new device effect). But after 2 weeks...it became 2x faster, 2x efficient and longer lasting on single battery cycle. Sorry - for me (and most of people here I guess) most important is freedom! In customizations, apps, root access, firmware or rather custom ware.... If U don't feel it, U simply in a wrong place?
Hi ,
Am working note 9 port for note 8 , very hard to port beacuse not same android version and hardware s9 same hardware and may be easy to port , i need just help kernel porter devs, i write a lot of kernel devs but zero answer dunno why...

A305f Resurrection Remix

No ROM available yet
There's still no custom ROM available yet. Since this device is not very popular plus it has an Exynos processor, we might not see a ROM any time soon

[ROM REQUEST] Android11 with OneUI 3.0 ROM for Note 9

Well, perhaps you might find some AOSP or such simulation rom, but not the real one.

just thinking the reason why N9 was abandoned by Samsung, is it due to limited HW configuration or some other reasons? such as force you transfer to new toy......

The lack of similar Samsung device(with One UI 3.1 or higher) with identical processor(Snapdragon 845) makes it a bit difficult, but not impossible unless some dev has a SM-N9600 and port One UI 3.1 on that variant of Note 9. However, it might take a while just like how it took so long for @corsicanu to port Android 10 to Note 8(SM-N950F/FD/N) models

The bootloaders are locked on the SD versions. And also the lack of a similar or idenitcal SOC on a phone that already has that version of Android. (For example Nougat with Touchwiz was ported to Note 4 Exynos just because Tab S2 came from factory with Nougat. Or that 7.1.2 was ported to HTC One M9 because HTC Bolt/Evo10 came with it. Only possible because they share SOCs.)

Yeah. Maybe if somebody makes a One UI 3.x GSI you could probably install it that way.

Question Custom roms?

Isn't there any custom rom for tab s8 ultra? My tab is now 1 yr old so was keen to experiment. Is linux a good option? Any advices please. I am just a tech enthusiast so just looking to have some fun.

There's actually no developpement for Galaxy Tab S8 serie. The hardware is pretty new and Samsung doesn't help users to dives into his hardware...
If you want to try roms, you can still install TWRP and try GSI.
About Linux, except using Termux, you can't do anything since the Kernel is locked and there's no way (yet) to enable KVM on snapdragon devices...

GSI (Generic System Image) is a kind of rom that (should) work on any Treble enabled device (aka almost any device that come with Android 11 and up).
However, on Samsung devices, most of hardware relies on proprietary drivers (like camera or spen...), so you should'nt expect them to work good as using Samsung firmware
There is not custom roms almost to none Samsung device any more. Samsung is trying to become Apple. Locking every device with many ways. Only root there is, and this more difficult every year. Unfortunately Samsung is still creating the best hardware , and good software, so there isn't very easy to go to another company for the most users..
