Hi, I have a newby question. I'm not sure if it's related to this ROM, LineageOS or Android 12.

I installed this rom along with NikGapps Core (minimum). I setup ths OS and the first apps. So far all working smooth. Thanks for this. 🙂

Coming from Android 10 with OneUI 2.5 I'm currently trying to fit the settings to my daily needs. What I was wondering, what is this empty space below the favorite apps? I'm looking trough the settings, but I found nothing particular. 🤔

This has also happened to me. This happens on the Trebuchet launcher, which is the default launcher for LineageOS. If you don't like it, just use another launcher, such as nova or lawnchair.

Thanks. After seeing the screenshot of lawnchair, it's seems that this is the spot for the Google search bar (which I don't want). Any chance to edit this spot with Trebuchet?

Edit: I think I will give Nova Launcher a try. Looks good so far. 👍

So you have working Android Auto with Nikgapps, did I understand that correctly? Also, do you also have the Nik gapps android auto fix zip or does it work as is without any addon zips? If you can confirm that AA works I will switch to this rom now since that's my only worry.

Could you get Android Auto to run with this rom, and if yes,how did you?

I am running LineageOS 20 on this phone, so my answer might not help you, but I am using NikGapps and I just found android auto on the play store, and it worked when I installed. However, I do not have an android auto compatible car so I can't say if it connects or not.

I hear a lot of people have trouble with Android Auto and I wasn't expecting it to work if I'm honest, but after installing the rom I also installed Nikgapps and Nikgapps Android Auto addon and the first time I plugged my phone to my car to charge it Android Auto launched completely by itself so it was kind of a surprise to me :). Hope you have the same luck with it as well!

Edit: My Nikgapps and AA addon version was Nikgapps Basic from 07/09/2022.

Is it possible to install Samsung Apps (Keyboard, Camera and Gallery) within this ROM?

I'm currently looking for APKs, but didn't come far. The AOSP versions are okay, but lacking some features or comfort I'm used to.

I don't like the AOSP keyboard too, but I'm quite happy with Gboard now as a lifetime Samsung Keyboard user. I found it just as comfortable, maybe you can give it a chance too.

Thanks for your reply @MydVDZ. I really would like an alternativ to a Google software (where it's possible).

Good day,

It is a stable and good rom and I use LineageOS as my daily driver , for your questions:

1 Safetynet is NOT passed by default, you still need Magisk. I am not aware of any Android 11 or 12 rom for the S8 that does this have this function out of the box without Magisk (with Magisk it is working great by the way).
2 My battery is good and I do not have any issues, there are still some major improvements expected like HWC support. But I have better battery life on Lineage than on Stock.
3 Haven't had any heat issues.

For me LinaeageOS 19.1 for S8 is the perfect rom, but I do not know if this is the case for you, as mentioned by requirement 1. I hope this helps making a decision for you.

And Thanks Ivan for your continued development for our (old) phones.

Hi @wmrichard , do you have a hint how to install Magisk with this rom? After reading this official instruction I'm not sure if I get it all right.

I mean:
  • The Bootloader is already unlocked
  • This ROM with NikGapps is already installed
Questions:
  1. Do I need another full wipe?
  2. Do I need the latest firmware zip (Android v9) from the Samsung servers via Frija (using my CSC) or the AP-file from this ROM?
    1666358887687.png
  3. Where do I get the BL, CP, and CSC files for Odin?
EDIT: I read this post and I think I'm a bit smarter. I know that I get the BL, CP, and CSC files for Odin from the Frija zip, but the questions 1. and 2. are still remain.
  1. Do I need to flash with CSC (full wipe) when I already installed this rom?
  2. Is it okay to use the BL, CP, and CSC files from the Frija zip?
EDIT2: First try to follow the official instructions has failed. The device only boots into download mode. I have to install TWRP again and restore the backup.

Anyone with a suggestion to clean install this ROM with Magisk?

You're overthinking it. Flashing Magisk is as simple as downloading the latest APK from GitHub releases, renaming it from .apk to .zip, and flashing the zip from TWRP. That's it.

Magisk switched to a package that's both an APK and a flashable ZIP a while back but it's not commonly mentioned.

    /*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

    Not Working
    -


    Keep in mind that some LineageOS features have not been completed yet this is not a device bug and please do not report those
    in this rom thread, also do not post bug reports for known issues or bug reports without proper
    a) Logcat
    b) proc/last_kmsg (or proc/kmsg)
    c) data/tombstones
    d) dmesg



    Install gapps right after installing the rom itself don't try to boot to system before that if you want to use gapps (Or wipe data before installing them)

    Since most gapps didnt update for 12L yet (SDK bumped from 31 to 32) i edited falmegapps and uploaded them here use them if you cant find gapps that work on 12L https://mega.nz/folder/FFoS1IIK#XunGRNTViQY7-OZ8oQr0sg
    Make sure gapps you decide to use support android 12L/12.1/Are targetting api level 32

    Make sure you are using latest official TWRP before installing rom older versions do not have proper android 12 support

    Downloads:
    Google Drive
    Mega.nz
    GitHub releases

    Here are some progress update
    Here is android 13 working with new kernel that has BPF backport which took me days to properly backport, but it will help us get better overall experience in both 12 and 13 and future android versions
    I just have to resolve some wifi issues and after those are done builds will be uploaded

    Huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, helped cover the build server cost and got me coffee/pizzaa for time spent working on this.

    See you soon with Android 13 on S8/Note8 that are 5 years old this year

    here it is August security update

    Nothing major in this one as i am still working behind the scenes on that huge update i talked about previously which involves rewrite of almost whole graphics and media stack (its almost finished but i still have to do a bit more testing just to make sure there is no regression)
    (Im still waiting for a properly working s8/n8 listing to show up on ebay thats not overpriced so i can use it for testing as my s8 has messed up display and unfortunately import from UK turned out to be more expensive than s8 would be worth)


    In other news android 13 should be released next month and since there were no major changes s8 and note8 should be running it soon after release with not too many issues and ill try to take a few days off from work to get it up and running on it once source is out



    Once again huge thanks to everyone who supported this project, helped cover build server cost and got me coffee with donations.

    This project wouldnt be alive without them as i do this in my free time as a hobby.

    I havent posted an actual progress update in quite some time so here is some behind the scenes.
    • First of all selinux, that is actually being worked on and it should be supported in near future (Tho it needs some testing to make sure things dont break)
    • Kernel upstream and full eBPF support, thats on its way too so we wont need any hacks to make bpf work anymore which is a nice bonus + we will be able to use some nice new features like gpu monitoring which requires eBPF
    • HWC This is a big one, without revealing too much there is big progress on this behind the scenes and while it does require quite a bit of work once this is sorted we will have much better battery life and UI will be waaay smoother (2x increase at least), this and few other hals will be open sourced too once this is nearly finished so no more proprietary blobs for it
    • Keystore will also be looked into a bit further to see if there are edge cases left where some secure apps break
    • OMX again without going into too much details we will see some changes on that end and it will be open sourced
    • Camera, well ill just let this one be a surprise for now since it will require most work
    There is a lot more going behind the scenes and some of those changes will take some time (Keep in mind i do this in my free time so i really cant talk about etas) but in general once most of those chanegs are up 8895 devices will be in perfect condition and once android 13 source is out it wont take too long to get it working.

    Some other small notes since s8 i use to develop this rom on has broken screen (i use scrcpy to mirror screen on pc) im actually still looking into getting 8895 device, Someone offered to send one from UK but since im in EU ill have to look into import tax and stuff caused by brexit which is not fun to deal with.

    And finally HUGE thanks to everyone who supported this project and helped cover the build server cost, thius project really wouldnt be possible without them, They also covered the coffee cost and some stuff like recent keystore fixes really took a long time to debug which indeed required a lot of coffee at night haha.
