Yeah, Google pay works fine.

I can't seem to find Face Unlock on this rom? Is there a way I can activate it? Maybe some flashable zip or Magisk module?

Tried the apk attached in the OP but tha app always crashed. On doing some research, landed up on this thread. Downloaded the latest version (v8.3b) and the app works flawlessly! You can check my initial impressions here. Enjoy!

V8.3b is working fine on the S7 Edge Exynos. Tested portrait mode (both front and rear). Overall image quality is as good as the original Samsung camera on my S7 edge. The colors are a little on the cooler side as compared to the original camera. Although I'll test it more extensively soon. But...

It works fine for me. You need to select it in aroma while flashing the rom. If I remember correctly, there were two options : game launcher and game tools, select them both and everything will work fine. (Note: I'm not sure about the names of the options to be selected in aroma, just select...

Any idea how to get game launcher working? Also, how do I enable heads-up notifications? I turned it off once and now I cant find a way to turn it back on again.

Yes I did. Still no luck.

Didn't work. Copies all the folders from 'panelsedge' to system/priv-apps but nothing happened. Also, I can't seem to find a way to turn on heads-up notification. It was turned on right after setup, but I turned it off. Now I can't turn it back on. Any idea how do I do that?

Just flash TGP kernel with TWRP. It'll work without any issues.

Yes it works. You probably don't have root. Flash Magisk and then grant root access to the Sac23 app. Then it'll work. ---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ---------- 1. Game tools don't work. +1 2. Didn't try iOS emoji module. 3. SwiftKey works fine...

https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/kernel-tgpkernel-t3501571 This is the link to the kernel thread. Download the latest oreo version and just flash in TWRP. You can wipe dalvik/cache (recommended) after flashing the kernel. That's all you need to do. :)

Face unlock will work. No iris scanner on the phone so iris unlock obviously won't work. There's no OTA on custom Roms. You might be able to dirty flash the updated version of the rom, but again, that isn't recommended (as mentioned by the dev few pages back).

Yeah, you've to select it in aroma while flashing the rom.

I'm on TGP and it's much much better than moro. On moro phone used to heat up and battery drain was unbearable. But on TGP, I've zero heating issues and the battery life is far better than before. I'm on v6.1.

What are views on v6.1 regarding Stability, Battery life, performance? Also, any specific instructions on flashing it? I'm on V4 right now.

I am unable to pass SafetyNet and Magisk Hide doesn't work. So I'm unable to use Snapchat. I don't have Xposed and I'm using TGP kernel v6.0.2 on Sac23 V4. Any help to get Snapchat working? P. S. I restored Snapchat from TB, so I don't have to login, but still, the app won't load at all. The...

I don't have Xposed.

I'm unable to pass SafetyNet and Magisk Hide doesn't work. So I'm unable to use Snapchat. I'm on TGP kernel for oreo. Any help?

There's only one for Oreo which works for both. Flash it and enjoy! :D

You can just flash the Magisk zip manually and it'll all be good. Download it from here.

Some battery stats on the Sac23 V4.

Yeah I started it using it. Seems pretty good so far. Standby time has increased for sure. Performance exceeds expectations too. Overall, impressed! :good:

I wasn't advertising Sac's rom. I've no bias towards anyone or any rom. Someone asked a question quoting me, and so I replied with an honest answer. No offence intended to anyone. Chill. P.S. : I did flash your rom as per your instructions and still faced issues. I did not use xposed or any...

Performance is pretty much the same. I had some random freezes on Black Pearl, but none on the Sac23 yet. Also, I just flashed the TGP kernel on the Sac23. So I'll wait and see how that works. :fingers-crossed:

Woah! Sounds pretty good! :victory: How was the standby battery drain?

Everyone is facing this issue. Use Google Messages or any 3rd party messaging app. All oreo roms on S7 are facing tremendous battery drain. We'll have to wait for an update to the rom base or maybe a new kernel to fix the battery drain. As of now, there's not much you can do.

I was on this rom for a while, but switched to Sac23 V4. The battery life on Sac23 is better than Black Pearl, IMO.

Can I use this on the Sac23 S9 ported rom V4? Do the ported roms come under 'hybrid roms'?

Awesome! Do update about the battery life, overall performance and any useful tweaks in the kernel. :victory:

TGP Kernel So the TGP kernel for Oreo was released, but the description says its for Stock roms and Hybrid roms (See attachment) I wasn't sure if the S9 ported roms count as hybrid. Will the kernel work in this rom?

Yes there is. Link is in the OP. Battery drain issue exists on all the Oreo roms for S7 edge. But this rom has probably the best battery life among all other roms. The performance is EPIC too. Atleast the phone doesn't heat up as much as on other Oreo roms.

Go to settings > Lock screen setting > Smart lock > Face lock. ---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ---------- The zip is provided in the OP. Download from there and flash. :good:

I'm not sure what the bug says, but if I were to guess, it says 'Voice wake-up stopped working' or something like this. If this is the case, you can use TB to freeze the Voice Wake up app/service, so that the error message stops popping up. ---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous...

How is the battery life on this rom? Also, is there an heating issue? Other oreo roms seem to have terrible battery life.

Yeah, I'm sure you do. I appreciate all the hard work you do! :) I hope V5 resolves the battery and heating issue for me :fingers-crossed:

Custom kernels with mods aren't available "yet" for OREO. But they'll be out soon :fingers-crossed:

Been using this rom for a few days now. Few things I noticed : 1. On booting for the 1st time, the phone died right after 'Optimising apps' screen. Didn't get to setup stage. But the OP mentioned that something like this might happen and a reboot will fix it. And it did. Setup was smooth after...

No. The OP clearly states that GPS still doesn't work.

Been using this module for almost 3 days now! Man I'm impressed and how! It's as if my phone is reborn! Truly great work! Thank you so much for this! Cheers! :victory:

Guys, you might wanna try this new module. I've been using it for quite sometime now and trust me, you don't wanna miss out on this. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-swap-torpedo-run-faster-reliably-t3766883 Enjoy :angel:

This should help. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/fix-netflix-custom-rom-t3623151/amp/

My messaging app stopped working after I dirty flashed the rom to move back from Moro kernel to Stock kernel. Any idea what went wrong? And how to fix it?

Ditto for me. Performance and battery, both take a toll with Moro kernel. Dirty flashed the rom to move back to stock kernel, things are better this way.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657595335 Here you go. Moro kernel.

Keep the rom in your SD card. In TWRP, wipe everything except your SD card, this was the rom stays on your SD card. Then go to 'Install' and select the rom from your SD card. Hope this helps! :) ---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ---------- Doesn't...

Factory reset. Wipe data, dalvic cache, internal storage.. Basically everything except SD CARD (and OTG, if any).

If you are on BatMan rom, don't worry about anything else. The BatMan rom doesn't have the OEM option. Do not think about bootloader or kernel or anything. Just download the rom from the OP and flash it. You'll be completely fine, and super happy with the rom! :)

Battery life for me is pretty good, after a few days of usage. After Social media, movies, YouTube, and minor gaming, I get 5+ hours of SoT, on a 2 year old battery. So no complaints from my side. Also, I've greenified some apps and used Titanium Backup to freeze some other unwanted apps.

Got it brother. Let's not spam the thread anymore over this. Peace! :highfive:

I never said anything about not wiping. I obviously was gonna clean wipe everything. I was just confirming if I need to update the bootloader and kernel separately because I was moving from Nougat to Oreo. That's all. :)
