My method is wipe all,
System
Data
Caches/dalvik
Flash vendor and kernel (both BRH1 or ELS kernel)
System.img
Reboot recovery
Gapps (bitgapps in my case)
Magisk 16.7 optional

Hopefully profit
Install chrome beta or android webview from apkmirror and set webview in developer settings

Flash the add-ons
And install Android web view point

I can't find the Android Web View Point under the addons?

Ok so this method is the most stable for me.
Coming from Stock latest vendor.
Wipe data, system, cache / dalvik.
Flash GSI as image.
Reboot and let it boot completly.
Flash stock gapps and any addon you want (the pixel theme for example).
Let it rip

Is the stereo speaker working for anyone? I only got sound through the bottom speaker!

I am flashing as image and it is done in 10 sec. After that TWRP says it has no OS installed. After reboot I enter bootloop.

Ignore that error...thats because its not a full OS its a system image. Follow MANICX guide above to the letter....i also entered loop few times but then cracked it....in case u enter loop only solution is to flash stock with odin and repeat the process ..am sure u will get it in a few tries.
P.S. dont use the linked magisk of post 2 use magisk 16.7 unmodded....worked for me

did that and after one reboot it stacks at galaxy s9 logo. I also tried many other roms and and non booted. stock based and aosp. very strange because twrp says flashing went ok on every flash. I am downloading stock firmware to flash via odin... hopefully I can restore it back to normal.

Hmmmm interesting...stock with odin will refresh your phone so no worries there but MANICX guide should have worked....although i was coming from pure stock hadnt even unlocked the bootloader before this so if u had tried some other ROM prior to this there might have been some conflict with vendor or firmware (so confusing with various vendors)....load latest stock as per region and try again
