Hi, did you select USSD codes in AROMA?
Sure i did, i just have to explain to you that i had already previous Horizon room v.4.6, and on TWRP i wiped cache, dalvik, system and preload, then i installed Horizon v.4.7 and i em sure i selected USSD, by the way i did install few times because i want to cleanup the Viper as i found out the magisk manager was not uninstalling Viper even was performing reboot,, but i just have to make my data backup and clean install this room, and i will answer if it caused my data or apps this error problem. The room is great, the USSD is not something i will use everyday thing.

Okay, I see, bud.

I will look into it and address it in the next update.

Thanks for everything!

Hi Berci,

Can I say currently this is the best ROM for Samsung Note 8? Finally I have found a ROM 100% working with Bank application. Just one point if you can separate in two lines the notification bar

Hey, thank you for putting all your effort in this ROM. Your ROM is the most interesting one I've seen and most updated one. I'm preparing to root and install this. I have a few inquiries about the ROM:
1. Does it have One UI 2?
2. How's the battery and SOT?
3. Have you ever tried Google Camera with the ROM?
Thanks heaps

Hi, After you root there is not really a chance of getting L1, maybe if you reflash stock.

nvm, i got the L1 back, my fault is im using the libencryptoem or whatever is that to turning off drm, but now my netflix wont showing any videos. so yeah im guess i cant watch netflix on my note 8. Anyway your 4.7 rom is smoother than before. Thanks for updating sir.

Yeah, if you want L1 then you can't watch Netflix, if you want to watch Netflix then you can't have L1, lol. Thanks for the feedback by the way.

Hi Berci, the rom is great with best Battery life and SOT. Can say, best of all roms out there. Even best from gaming view. But, found 2-3 issues so thought of bringing it to your notice. Mine Note 8 device- App lock feature is not available even after selecting it from Aroma installer, even selected recent lock. Secure Folder remains unlocked even after setting password, closing app and opening too does not solve the problem and even after entering correct password to change to other lock feature, it says incorrect password entered and got only 9 attempts left now. Call Recording feature not available, noticed this while I went to dialer to playback a voice call and found no Recording feature available.

Besides this, its a great Rom. No Lagging and smooth delivery of apps. Best part is performance with battery and SOT. Thanks Berci.

Hi Guys,

I've been following this thread and carefully read through every comment. I'm almost convinced to try it, even though my phone is still under warranty.
One question to you though - how is the camera performance? Is it better or same? Hopefully not worse?
I'm just returning my brand new Note 10+ due to it's camera - pictures taken with this phone are super noisy/grainy. I'm extremely disappointed as it was my dream to have it. Other than this it's a powerful machine, but I do a lot of mobile photography, and for me it's a dealbreaker and probably it's my last Samsung device (after years of having top galaxy s and note phones) .

Cheers for the developer for the hard work!

Hey, bud!

The camera perfomance can only be better but not worse. I hope you will find this ROM a good choice for you.

Cheers,
Berci

Thanks @berci for your reply. One more question though - are Samsung apps like Health or Pass work normally here?

Should I expect any kind of limitation with this custom ROM in terms of using banking or other apps which might check the Knox/custom rom status?

Cheers ;)

Anytime, bud!

Samsung Health and stuff like these are working if you select them in AROMA.
And if you use Magisk Hide, etc. you can probably get trough the bank app "security".

Cheers :)
