Thanks! Is there an easier way flashing this than flashing all these files? ?
You installed the broken Xposed Edge.zip. Go back through my posts here and I posted a Bixby Assistant.zip. Flash that, it fixes the generic.kl file.can someone please tell me, how I can activate my hardkeys again? none of them are working after I installed stuff via safestrap :/
Edit: my generic.kl is empty and I can't change permissions...
No, xdanilva made the Xposed Edge one. That one is one I made.
I think if you flash the CRD6 beta it should be fine according to what other users have said here.This is my favorite ROM my far so thank you for all your hard work. Im on S8. Very smooth performance, great battery life and Dex runs very smooth. The only thing that is a bit frustrating is the Bluetooth issue. I have about 5 or 6 devices I connect to daily, including a smartwatch and to constantly have to re-pair is a pain. Also, it doesn't take a reboot to lose pairing. Each time I start my car I have to retype the pairing code. There isn't anyway to fix this on CRC5 yet, is there?

Please Note This Is Not A Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. As Of Now There Is Still No Root Method For Oreo Or Pie. This Takes Some Patience To InstallS8+ SM-G955U/U1/W Install Instructions And Files
If you didnt upgrade to V8 bootloaders using odin. I recommend flashing full stock firmware with V8 bootloaders even if you are already on V8 bootloader via OTA update. I feel that maybe something in the OTA from V7 bootloaders to V8 may have corrupted a bootloader file and some people have experienced bricks with trying to update to V8 bootloaders from V7 using the below method so I recommend flashing full stock V8 firmware in Odin before trying this method and just understand there has been a risk of bricking device. Full stock can be found on Sammobile or updato or any other service you can find it. You will have to reroot of course. If you Updated to V8 bootloaders using odin method already then no need to do so again

Well spelling is not my strong point. Between my roms I have thousands of downloads so I guess all those thousands of people never got my rom to install so my suggestion to you is use someone else's rom or stay stock that will save you alot of problems.I have never been able to get this guys stuff to boot. I think this is at least the fourth time I tried over the past year. Then again he cant even spell "reset" correctly, intertwines download mode and recovery.... soooo yeah.
