Update is now available in UK. I'm on Vodafone and received it this morning. So far all good but will be testing battery life over the next few days. Would be good to get better battery life from my S10, here's hoping it brings that.

"Multitasking - Multitasking has been way better implemented by Apple, meaning that surfing through the apps that are opened feels more fluid and natural with an iPhone. Is there any way to change this? To make it better than it currently is?" If you've switched to a Samsung device then check...

So far its working exactly the same as in beta 1 (power saving icon only visible once you swipe down, and clock not showing am/pm indicator) but I don't mind this at all. I can see the status bar changes are probably a result of the impending S10 series with the infinity O displays, as they're...

Beta 2 is awesome so far. Iris scanner now works flawlessly and they've removed the intelligent scan option (didn't work in beta 1 anyway). Other than that they've improved the lag and it's now snappy and responsive. Well worth trying out.

Erm, no you don't need to go back to Oreo. I was part of the Oreo beta and when the final version was released I receiced an OTA update of the final Oreo build. It was a smaller build than the one my partner received on her S8 (same day btw) but definitely came OTA.

Yes

I don't know about downgrade, but once they finished the beta and pushed the first official Oreo update it all worked perfectly.

This is normal as it's a beta, they did the same thing with the Oreo beta too. Samsung Pay and Google pay only worked once they released the final binary.

This requires registering face unlock data (scan your face). Once activated restart device and Intelligent Scan shows up under Biometrics settings.

And as always, your help is greatly appreciated!!!! :)

Any update for G950FXXU4CRI1 yet??

VIP1961 thanks man!!!

Thanks, much appreciated

Can I update from 4CRIA to this new one (G950FXXU4CRK1)?

Not sure if it's the update or the fact that I've now disabled Bixby using package disabler, but battery drain is noticeably improved. Android System is far down now, was previously much higher. Will watch it over the next couple of days, but looking good so far.

The latest update seems to have caused this. Mine was affected too, but found a hard reset and careful managing of apps has helped. But still not as good as battery life on Nougat. Hoping the October patch will fix this....whenever that gets released.

Guys, for anyone experiencing high drain from the latest update, please check your display settings. Whilst watching some content on YouTube I decided to try the full resolution of the screen to see if it improves the video I was watching, only to find it was already set to WQHD. Not sure if...

Yup, haven't even needed to check SOT times as the drain is quite noticeable. Gonna give it a few cycles to see if it settles down.

As always, many thanks iDan, this just keeps getting better and better. Totally love the inclusion of saturation control, just what was needed! Working flawlessly on my Exynos S8!

Thanks man, appreciated!

Forgive my lack of understanding, but is this for the exynos variant or snapdragon? I have the correct version to upgrade from (G950FXXU1CRD7), just wanna be sure. Cheers

Wow, are you sure you ordered the right one? This doesn't even look like the same packaging. If they claim it is, then rightly so you should request a refund. I assure you the one I ordered and received fit perfectly, and it's on my device to this very day. Will post some pics later

Updated from CRC7 and very pleased indeed. Not only am I seeing stronger WiFi signals but it fixed a small bug with the iris scanner where after the previous update it was really slow to recognise my irises (if at all) All working nice and speedy again now. Will check over the next few days...

Google the word "portrait", the answer will be all the explanation you need. (Or search this thread, either way your answer is there)

Yes it really is full screen adhesive, and yes it really is glass.........but.......it is some sort of glass/plastic composite, which has the hardness of tempered glass (so no, you can't scratch it), but a little elasticity and flex like plastic, which is actually needed to fit the protector to...

Guys, This is the best solution I have found (for the price), a full screen adhesive TGSP for £9.00. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-S8-Case-Friendly-4D-Full-Screen-Adhesive-Screen-Protector/202083341497?hash=item2f0d1b14b9:g:CFIAAOSw3WxaRXwn No loss in sensitivity no dot matrix on...

Right, to be fair, after taking a moment and not reading your comments as a negative Norman who doesn't trust or believe anyone, and looking at things from your perspective, I can see how you came to this conclusion. The packaging and advert for this is pretty darn similar to all the other...

Sorry, not sure what happened there. See link below: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-S8-Case-Friendly-4D-Full-Screen-Adhesive-Screen-Protector/202083341497?hash=item2f0d1b14b9:g:CFIAAOSw3WxaRXwn

Try this, cheap and just as effective as the Whitestone one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...53.m2749.l2649 No UV drying and curing of glue. Works like a proper glass screen protector, but with adhesive on the entire glass. So no problems with clarity, sensitivity or the need for the...

Yeah I read the reviews too, but so far I have not had any issues with it at all. Give it a try and see how you feel.

Actually there is. Someone has developed a tool called GCam Tool, which is designed to do just that. Its on the play store and so far has worked flawlessly for me, so much so that I upgraded to the pro version which does a little more than the standard version. Would highly recommend giving...

Ok so after many months and almost every possible type and brand, I think I've found my middle ground. Yes the Whitestone SP is perhaps the best looking out of all available but its not perfect (i.e, complex installation, expensive etc) but recently found these on ebay, and they are a full...

Couldn't agree more with your sentiments. None of us owed anything from the developer of this port, therefore, I am extremely grateful, for what he has provided thus far. If further improvements come along, then that's even more reason to be thankful! Let's just try and keep all of that in...

Lol!!!! I noticed that straight away!!!

Just chiming in on the whole hardware aspect, I was under the impression that the pixel 2 gained it's depth information from utilising the dual pixel system where it measures differences between two pixels when taking a photo. I was also under the impression that the S8's camera also utilises...

Just received notification of a new Hotfix for the Oreo beta in the UK. Installed and all seems well. No real noticeable difference yet but will let you know if I spot any improvements

Hi guys, S8 on EE UK, just received 2nd beta, installed and all working well. Only noticeable improvement is the iris scanner is now ridiculously fast (Has been working so fast that I hardly even see the lockscreen at all). Will be checking other things and general stability too (oh and android...

Go to the App Info for the app and change the permissions to allow storage and allow overlays etc.

I can whole heartedly recommend these ones: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XY7K875/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They are the film variety, but PET film, so no rubbery feel. These also benefit from being slightly curved at the edges (much like the TGSP's) so fit...

Yeah I too had this decision to make, and considering I'm a photographer, the camera was always going to be one of the key deciding factors. My choices (at the time) were, LG G6, Pixel XL and the S8. After going back and forth over specs and testing different devices I decided on the S8...

Out of curiosity I too ordered these SPECIFICALLY because they do not curve. Of all the TGSP I've tried they all inevitably fail due to the lack of full screen adhesion (bar the Whitestone ones, but seriously....£45 for a screen protector?? Nah!) so would like to see how this one performs and...

Give this one a try. Working flawlessly on my device. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XSFTKY1/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Think I may have found a pretty good solution. Its a "case friendly" tempered glass protector from a company called Miikare, with the added benefit of being a privacy screen too. I've installed it and have to say, am very impressed. It plays very nicely with my slim case with no lifting (at...

Yeah, all activated. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Works now, but intermittently, still calling up Bixby every other time its pressed. Any thing I've overlooked???

Does the "Remap to shutter button" feature actually work?? So far it either opens Bixby or just calls for the remapped app (in this case Camera) but won't act as a shutter button.

My current case.... Found on Amazon for around £7. Totally dope!

Oh! Well then I am at a loss! Sorry guys

You need to change the height of the Nav bar at the bottom. Anything under 100% and I found I had this same issue. Easily resolved using the ICE Config tool, just change navbar height back to 100%. Simples! P.S Golv thanks again for such a smooth and efficient rom. Loving the latest update...

Hey Golv just loaded up the latest release and dirty flashed from your previous. Have been stuck on the boot screen for just under an hour (no sign of optimisation yet just the HTC logo) Is this normal??? Probably not, but let me know. If need be will do a full wipe and clean install. RR
