This here is my personal setup and thought i'd share. Usually i test extensively before releasing to public, but if you do find something detrimental to the usage of your device that is either Force Closing or simply not working, let me know and i will in turn inform whether that is something i will tend to.

A note from the Dev...

V1.0 is obviously just the beginning, and i intend to add features, mainly more audio mods, and work on the kernel more. The kernel has some extra govs etc, but there is a lot more work to be done on it. It is stable though and serves its purpose. If you remember my rom from the S6, youll notice i am taking a different approach with this rom, so be nice, i am still working out best methods for applying major mods without relying on TWRP.

Applying mods with rom control

My Rom Control app is unconventional. I use it to run scripts to add and remove Audio mods etc.

To apply an audio mod, select what you wish on the Audio mod page, then select the Apply section. This runs the scripts to apply the mods. Audio mods need a manual reboot to fully apply.

To apply a SystemUI mod, simply select and apply mod and it will reboot systemui automatically and mods will then be present.

To apply misc mods, pressing Apply will do a full hot reboot to activate.

Welcome & thank you.

Yay! Loved WETA on my Nexus 6P! Thank you.

What's the deal with cross compatibility with s8 and s8+? Anyone know if the kernels etc are universal? Are there files from the s8 it's need to add to this rom to make it work on an s8? Let me know guys, I've been out of the Samsung world for too long

hahaha for a second i thought that was AOSP

Flashed the ROM, it boots but then keeps rebooting during the setup process. Is this for latest base/bootloader?

 

[Mentalmuso]

It's QF7 base. Is the new bootloader not compatible?

Also the room doesn't wipe caches, so you need to do that manually. Did you clean or dirty flash?

Sorry, I didn't hit reply. See my response above.

I'm on AQG5, Clean flash as always and cleared cache. Strange that it actually boots and gets to the setup then randomly reboots.

I tried a clean flash. I had issues too. I did some research and i found that twrp wasnt wiping the data partition properly. I also read this has been an issue elsewhere. Also twrp wouldnt even format my sdcard. What i did.. was go into twrp settings and untick the "rm -rf" method to format sdcard. This changes the format method to a more robust method. Im not sure why its ticked by default.

This also means that i had to wipe out or "nuke" my device. But this explains other issues i was having earlier last week. Data may not be getting wiped properly. This includes dalvik and caches.

This may be a talked about issue, and there may be fixes somewhere but i havent been around the s8 long enough to know about it yet.

Another thing you could try is flashing a custom kernel of another breed. See if ive done something in my kernel to affect this. But i doubt it as it seems to be a twrp issue to me.

Edit.. after formatting my sdcard with the other method in twrp and starting super clean, my device booted normally.

On a separate note, ive noticed csc didnt install properly there are some files missing. So if you want to correct the csc then use the csc installer in the s8 threads. Ill push an update tonight.
