Want AOSP SOOO BAAAD! Any new news? :(((( - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Anyone know anything?

Yes, of course, pixels 3 just came out, that's it

since last time:
treble guy is making still another phone
ivan meler left cuz of toxicity of s8 xda people ( he said it )
able read what I write to him but he doesnt say anything
"bad guy" made bootable rom and left
I was trying almost half of year to find dev and do something myself but only thing I could do was fix?? mobile data in rr without fully working ril , ( So u are not able to call from it )
and there is sascha nesterowic who is making lineageOS16 ( If I am not wrong ) ,guy still got shool and he is trying to do something with it in free time so I wouldnt expect anything , better buy s9 or s7 cuz "8" serie is DEAD

If one was to load all of Google's apps (Dialer, launcher, keyboard, clock etc), then disable the Samsung apps using ADB, and install a Pixel theme, the phone would be almost AOSP and the camera would still work great.

[ROM] JoeMomROM v1-Optimus T

Since there still hasn't been a rom specifically for the Optimus T yet (even though the optimus one roms work), I figured I'd make one..it wipes data, so backup your apps, and it wipes dalvik-cache, so the first boot will take a while, it'll sit at the LG logo for 40 seconds, then at the flashing android for 3 minutes. Every boot after that should be about 40 seconds.
What's been done so far:
Overclock kernel built from drellisdee's source-you need setcpu or overclock widget to enable it
ext2/3/4 removed, debug removed, optimised for the msm7227
tmobile boot animation removed, noatime & nodiratime added to mounts
Game demos, tmobile apps, drivesmart, gmail, facebook, and twitter removed
Quick Settings added (for easy wifi tether)
Gingerbread theme & keyboard
3d Gallery from cyanogen
Updated Market & Maps
Updated hosts file to block ads
LGHome replaced with Launcher Pro
Deodexed
Built from v10l-wifi calling enabled
Jit & Hardware Acceleration enabled
Dalvik heapsize set to 40
Stagefright disabled (I know it improves quadrant, but it also keeps some videos from playing, and I want everything to work out of the gate)
Probably some other stuff I forget
What is being worked on:
Nothing, I've completely lost interest in this phone.

Thanks to dodgejcr, drellisdee, meatcurtains, inxane, Balian67, vampirefo, nfd77, wwsean08, and rxaaron
Could you please port a full gingerbread theme ? I really love it.
I'm using void right know and I only managed to get the notification bar black + gingerbread icons.
As a comment to your ROM:
Try replacing the boot animation with a static image. I think the device will boot faster.
A ROM like that for the Optimus One will be great...
Anyway great work !

I've been going back & forth about the boot animation...I really like the way it looks, but it does seem to add 5-10 seconds to the boot time (maybe a lot more on first boot)
It's your ROM, you have to decide, not me/us. I thought that it would be better.
Any news on the gingerbread theme ?

While it's still in beta & unthemed, there's really not much need to, it's the default launcherpro setup with the ugly wet leaves background...I'll be working on the theme today (just saw the gingerbread theme, I kinda like it, I think that's what I'll go with), when it's done, I'll post screenshots.

Since optimus one roms work on the optimus t, the same thing probably works in reverse...either way, I don't want to release roms I can't test myself first, and I've seen some of Noeljn's work on the optimus one, and I don't think I can match it. But thank you for the compliment though.
THANK YOU. i WILL GIVE IT A TRY! SORRY KEYBOARD BROKEN
Any progress on the theme ?

Thanks, but I still think your roms are better, I just wanted there to finally be one that said Optimus T.
Have you destroyed your notebook ?
Have you got the Gingerbread theme to work ?
I was wondering about this change, "ext2/3/4 removed, debug removed, optimised for the msm7227" Debug removed ??? Also why did you remove ext2/3/4 ?
You have copies of some aps, you had calander 1.0 and 2.2(I think one is the widget though), Car Home 2.2 twice, etc. Check your work.
Some ideas I wanna throw at you I like from other roms
Extended APNs
Patch hosts file
Gapps removal (Get it down to the essentials, gmail, maps, I know there are a lot of gapps that can be downloaded later so it is more customizable to the user)
Video Camera Edit (Maybe try 720p ? Auto focus on video recording ?)
Remove more bloatware(Drivesmart, Facebook, ThinkFree Office, Twitter, Telenav GPS Navigation, Visual Voicemail, 3 Voice aps, youtube(Offer Drivesmart, Thinkfree, Telenav and the 3 voice aps as an optional zip, you can get rest from Market)
Maybe get some ideas from Cyanogen ?
I would wanna develop some stuff but I don't got time =\
Can you exchange the stock Gallery with the one from Cyanogenmod ? That one is extremely fast.

All duplicates are other parts of the program, there's carhome, carhome launcher, calendar, calendar provider, calendar widget, etc.
I think I did patch the hosts file, I can't remember now.
Video edits aren't something I'm good at.
The reason I didn't remove more bloatware at first is because I wanted opinions on what should be removed, on my phone, I remove everything, but I don't know what other people like.
I'm hoping to have beta 2 released tomorrow night, with the boot animation gone, dalvik-cache moved to /cache automatically, and the theme done other than the dropdown menu (if someone else wants to fix it they can, I hate theming & I'm not spending anymore time on it.)
Excelent. I can't wait to test it. Can you please answer my question too ? (about the Gallery, one post above)
Thanks !

Sense 3.0 lockscreen for ANY ROM!!

By an accident I entered one of the "latest threads ", took a quick look and found this amazing app . It provides the user experience and looks of the new sense lockscreen, and it works really good for me running Speedmachine :-D Just note that I've not made the app,just thought I should let you know. Ps: there's both a free and paid version.
Edit: Haha, found out that I don't even have to pay for the pro features. I just clicked the get free points button installed a few apps (which I of course uninstalled strait afterward ) and voila
Edit2: Link corrected
thank you so much for the tip. Can't wait to try it out as soon as TB finishes restoring my apps on Elelinux-7.1.0-RC1-Hero-v3.1. This will look best with the Sense theme I use for GO Launcher EX.
Edit: works great and it's verry smooth.
I was wondering if you have the same issue as me with this lockscreen :
I put the phone in my pocket of my jeans and after let's say 1 or 2 hours when I get it out I find myself in a random sub-menu in Settings. Did you ever had this problem? I've disabled it and tried leaving the phone in my pocket for 1 hour with the rom's default lockscreen and it never happens. This weird thing happens again and again with Agile Lock. I've also disabled the pull-down notification bar.

Intresting I have been using it on my Sgs2 but didn't realise it would work on the hero as well..
I would suggest you also try 'LOCKBOT PRO It has so many different lock screens ranging from ( iphone, hero, SE etc etc ) you will like the variety

Well, I've been using this lockscreen on a pretty speedy and light rom. I guess that the lockscreen will be killed pretty often if you try it on a GB rom
Will try Lockbot soon
Btw. I've found a bug in the lockcreen, pressing the volumebuttons wakes the device, and with the heros volumbuttons, this means it wakes up all the time But I've sent a mail to the dev and he answered that they're working on it

What (if any) Xiaomi features lost when flashing custom ROM

Hi,
newb question.
Are there any Xiaomi stock ROM features lost if I flash a custom ROM?
For example, the sony Z2's you could potentially lose some of the Sony camera features when you flashed a custom ROM/firmware.
Thanks
U lose by Sony some keys, if I do it not right most custom roms support emulated keys.
Samsung got Knox..
And Xiaomi got nothing, camera quality is very good at rr.
And the speed is not the same as on the bloody miui this is way more faster and way more stable.
yeah it is
u lost everything in term of security and cloud(mi cloud was really good syncing our file like recorder file, sms, call log, etc)
miui is okay for daily uses. bcos i cant lose those feature so im flasing xiaomi.eu which really light and stable, no bloatware like google movie, google music, etc.
just use launcher if u dont like the look

Miui find mydevice
If device lost/stolen u can remote and lock as iOs iphone does
They cant open ur device without mi account access
of course better with locked bootloader it gives you more security
Yeah all android can do that with Android device manager but not as good as miui or ios
Dual apps also my favorite feature
So much clone apps out there but they dont have feature like dual apps by miui

Thanks for your answers.
And the camera's features though. No long exposure, no time lapse, no slow motion. Although you can make a way around by using third party app but they won't optimized for Mi 5 camera.

Android 10 for Oneplus 7 Pro Sucks

Hi All,
So I have been trying to switch to android 10 couple times (3 exact) but because of it's bugs/annoyances it is really impossible to have it as a daily driver. Here are couple that I've found:
- bottom chin when keyboard is enabled (like really, what the hell. I know that for some folks that option is great and all, but it is making the keyboard unusable for me. I often touch the spot where the space bar should be and because of that writing seems very uncomfortable...
- LAG WHEN COMING BACK TO HOMESCREEN FROM APP - this is the biggest one for me. That problem occurs when you are using a custom launcher (like Nova, Evie etc.). Every time when you are coming from app to the homescreen, there is slightly delay in animation (like icons need some time to load...). That for me is biggest issue. Why do I need to withstand the lag in the system, when I have the fastest android smartphone on the planet?! Yet still i haven't found an solution for that (besides turning the animation completely off....)
If you don't have any those (or similar) problems and for you this update is gods gift then please don't respond....
I'am really disappointed with this Update and it seems that Oneplus is not going fix/change anything at all with it because they have already started rolling out the updates for Oneplus 6...
Feel free to comment on that topic
Thanks
Paweł
Just so you know the keyboard space is on every phone with Android 10, it is part of Googles implementation of gestures. It allows the use of gestures while the keyboard is open without typing or typing without triggering gestures.
Have you thought of using the stock luncher?...
@Snowolf940
Well Mr. Snow wolf, "sucks" is a relative term but I found 10.0.0 too buggy for me so I moved back to 9.5.11 and waited for another update.
10.0.1 solved all of the issues that bothered me except that annoying space under the keyboard. That made it so difficult to type for me. I understand the frustration there.
I stumbled upon this awesome fix yesterday here at xda. -100 did it best for me. The -75 was not enough removal of space.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/themes/fix-adb-disable-black-bar-10-0-1-t3987731
I haven't noticed the animation lag on Nova (which I am using) you were speaking about so sorry I can't help with that. But I would genuinely be surprised if it wasn't ironed out in the next update which personally I would guess would be soon.
I hope this helps you. Hang in there man. There will be better days ahead.
I don't know exactly what the issue with the keyboard layout is, but my keyboard hasn't changed.

It has been stated many times across many threads here at xda regarding the space between the keyboard and the bottom of the phone when using gestures (not a nav bar). When someone is not used to that space, users are hitting it accidentally instead of the spacebar creating many errors in typing. If you are using a navbar this does not apply. The keyboard you are using is not relevant either.

I have heard that this option also cut the toast notifications which is bad
I am just really disappointed with this update. I have thought that the company like Oneplus just can't roll out so unpolished firmware.
Right now iam afraid that going back to 10 will be just waste of time....
+ I also recall that I was not able to turn off the Facebook messenger vibrations without completely turning them off...

I have not had this issue with the toast notification. I also haven't had the animation issue either. There are users having no problems at all on 10 so maybe you need to investigate more.
My only issue was with the keyboard and that modification fixed it.
You have other companies literally breaking wifi and data with updates so if OnePlus adds a space under the keyboard which has a fix, I think most will think it's okay.
But I would at least try the keyboard fix instead of just complaining when others are giving solutions.
The Facebook thing I don't know because I don't use Facebook and that app is the worst app for a phone known to man.
I've noticed some apps crashing, but I'm rooted so it is what it is. Overall no major issues here

Please do not disregard the problem only because for most people Android Auto works fine
Same thing with my issues with Android 10.
So after reinstalling it (4th time, full wipe every time ofc), I still have a delay when coming back to the homescreen from my Lanucher (it doesn't matter which 3rd party launcher I use). It's really pissing me off...
Once again, I do not understand comments like "for me everything works fine/ I can't see the problem". That's because either you are lucky one and Oneplus made a version of software especially for you (sarcasm on) or you are unable to see it... So please don't commit to this conversation if you don't have anything interesting to say. We all know that your version of Android 10 is pure perfect (please brag somewhere else)

I saw that this thread was bumped and I was like, "this dude is still complaining?" :laugh:
I'll report that I'm on ob5 and this is awesome. Android auto running well as is everything else. I guess I avoided the user error bug. I figure, if we have identical phones, and mine works great on the same software another is having issues with, it's either user error or maybe a bad phone and it needs to be replaced? Not sure.

What launcher are you using?
Oh, there's also no delay going to the homescreen on a proper setup. If you want to use gestures on a custom launcher, it has to have quickstep support and you need to use quickswitch to set it as the recents provider

Honestly, I am surprised that nobody else has this problem with the delay or "notices" it. Of course I am happy for you! :good:
But unfortunately I also have this problem and it sucks really!
I have had the problem with Lawnchair, but the Nova Launcher also has this problem. Installing QuickSwitch does not help, it says that the launcher is not compatible with it...
That alone makes me think about either going back to Android 9 or trying out a custom Rom. But the problem seems to be widespread on Android 10.
Actually, the Stock Launcher is great, but I don't have the possibility to adjust icon sizes and grid. The presets are not enough. And I really don't like the drawer with this strange semi-transparent background.
At the end, i really hoping so that one or the either probem(s) will be fixed. I'm soo upset because of this crap but i should not be able to be so on such an high priced smartphone really...
Maybe you are mostly on Open Beta 5/6 and that lag is actually fixed?!..

I have started to notice the lag on launcher when unplugging the phone after using Android Auto.
What fixes it for me is to lock the screen and unlock it again a few times and then if will become responsive again.
This oddly (or not...) also coincides with some server side changes that Google pushed to Android Auto to enable the new features.
Adding here that the theme changes have just gone worse with 10.0.2 - theme follows the car, so if you use a dark theme and the car is in daytime, it will change the theme on the phone to bright when you exit Android Auto.
Also, the audio quality is pretty horrid and still not fixed, but I am experiencing with a workaround and will report when I have more concrete results

Question Not all notifications are visible on statusbar

Hi all,
For some reason some notifications are not visible on the statusbar.
They can be seen on the Always On display, and if you pull down the statusbar the notifications are visible there, but not on the statusbar itself as an icon.
I noticed that you can configure each app individually to either show or not, but in my case they all are configured to show the icon.
Might this be a bug? Has anyone else this same issue?
Edit: I just found the cause. Some apps have 'categories' in the 'Manage notifications' submenu. You have to click on these categories and in that submenu you have the option 'Display on statusbar'! No idea why some where set to OFF.
Hi,
I found an a french youtuber who had the same issus.
I think it need to be solved by an update.

Thanks

Coming from an S10+ (just like you) you will notice an incredible speed difference. I always believed the S10 was fast (enough). But the Oppo is on a whole new level.
Charging speeds are insane, but that probably is because I have been anti-spoiled by Samsung for so long
It's also worthy to mention that the device doesn't heat up while charging, so it's much more comfortable to hold.
The Oppo is 20 grams or so heavier, which doesn't sound like much, but I really notice it. It's also a bit top heavy, so be careful when holding it
It feels great in your hands though. The back side is indeed fingerprint proof if you get the blue matte version.
The OS has a lot of customization to offer, and I love the (off screen) gestures (I have now also switched from navigation buttons to gestures for navigations).
OneUI has even more options though! Especially if you were using Good Lock. I miss the option to have thumbnails in the task manager. I even miss the bixby button which could be reprogrammed
Face unlock is really fast, as is the FP unlock. If you hold the sensor after unlocking you get a shortcut to 5 favorite apps.
It's a great way to open your hue app or a remote, I just keep forgetting about it and release too soon
Oh, the screen protector is terrible, especially if you want to use the gestures you always move your finger over the edge and it doesn't feel comfortable. So I ripped it off.
Finally I tried out the native launcher, but reverted back to Nova quickly. It's not possible to replace the folder icons by a custom icon.

Coming from an S10+ (just like you) you will notice an incredible speed difference. I always believed the S10 was fast (enough). But the Oppo is on a whole new level.
Charging speeds are insane, but that probably is because I have been anti-spoiled by Samsung for so long
It's also worthy to mention that the device doesn't heat up while charging, so it's much more comfortable to hold.
The Oppo is 20 grams or so heavier, which doesn't sound like much, but I really notice it. It's also a bit top heavy, so be careful when holding it
It feels great in your hands though. The back side is indeed fingerprint proof if you get the blue matte version.
The OS has a lot of customization to offer, and I love the (off screen) gestures (I have now also switched from navigation buttons to gestures for navigations).
OneUI has even more options though! Especially if you were using Good Lock. I miss the option to have thumbnails in the task manager. I even miss the bixby button which could be reprogrammed
Face unlock is really fast, as is the FP unlock. If you hold the sensor after unlocking you get a shortcut to 5 favorite apps.
It's a great way to open your hue app or a remote, I just keep forgetting about it and release too soon
Oh, the screen protector is terrible, especially if you want to use the gestures you always move your finger over the edge and it doesn't feel comfortable. So I ripped it off.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm more impatient now ! It sound great.
And last question (I promise ) the native apps is it from Google (Gmail, chrome, Google calendar,...) ? Or Oppo (like Samsung mail or Samsung calandar version Oppo ) ? Thanks again
It has a lot of Google apps builtin. I didn't really see many Oppo equivalents.
However, some apps can't be uninstalled, which I hate. Think Facebook.

I have no use for BREENO[in Chinese] or Hey Tap[ seems to replace a familiar Android System admin app] .. Cannot use Google1 to restore old SMS/MMS from my Oneplus5. Cannot select new default messaging app [ TEXTRA] . Cannot , or cannot recall how to select default Launcher [EVIE]. Hope we get ROMs here eventually so to have it behave more like a OnePlus /US phone than a Chinese phone.
Help!

default Launcher? I haven't set one for a couple of years, but now I cannot seem to figure how to choose my own preferred [Evie] , or why I cannot set default Messaging App [Textra], or get back my SMS/MMS that are backed up by Google1 to G-Drive.
How did you get Nova as chosen default Launcher?

I just installed Nova and it set itself as the default.
But if you go to settings and type default app then you can set all the default apps too.

Where did you buy your phone? I guess you have a Chinese OS Version?
I have no Breeno, no textra or Hey Tap.

Example: Settings, Messaging App: only shows choice Oppo-native, installed one. In Textra it prompts to make it default,, but sending a message results in the device declaring for some security reason it is resetting default to OPPO-native. BTW, OPPO-native is a low function featurelss app.
Launcher: old OnePlus5 in Default Apps has category: Home app [Launcher selection] , nothing like it in the choices under Default Apps on the FindX3pro
Google1 blocked from backing up MMS
My preferred File Manager: ES File Explorer pro lets me attempt to attach my G-Drive [cloud], passes through all the steps correctly, only to conclude "Auth Failed". The g-dive is fully accessible using the Google Drive app, but integration with ES is convenient, has been for years.
Any idea on how to address 'security issues' for either messaging or ES File Explorer?

Exactly, AliExpress straight from China. Language: English fine, but perhaps I was sloppy not being sure of a "Global version" . Any thoughts? Patience: Wait for rooting and ROMs?
Where did you get yours? Version?
Textra? I installed. My preferred Messaging App [ LOL, not OPPO's clearly]

I got one from my provider in Holland. International version.
Maybe it is possible to update it with an international ROM? I don't know if the connectivity is working fine too, 4G, 5G?

Sure look forward to giving it a try. Not even sure if there are tiny differences that would make the intl-ROM incompatible. I'm getting OTAs but the Chinese ones I think
[4G coverage good, not noticed or had 5G yet].
Over the last 4yrs I think I only took OTA from OnePlus & rooted it. The 4yrs prior the lock on the Samsung Note4 was never 'broken', Then 3 yrs prior with the Samsung Galaxy Captivate I sure enjoyed XDA-roms & rooting, but that was long ago, & I'm still dependent on skills of others.

I quit custom roms after the S7. And that one had a OneUI based 'optimized' ROM.
Maybe you can try this (I haven't just saw it yesterday in my ColorOS telegram group)
Oppo ColorOS System Launcher [v11.3.520]
New ColorOS System Launcher update – v11.3.520 for OPPO devices: OPPO officially announced the new ColorOS skin version. The new interface brings visual changes including app icon redesign and customization options. The Android 12-based ColorOS 12 brings tons of new features such as enhanced...

Problem with Nova or any custom launcher on any Android 11 phone is that the navigation gestures dont work properly, there is a screen flicker issue when you swipe to go to homescreen. Thats why i am stuck with stock launcher on any new phone i get.
