AOSP rom for SM-G950F? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Right now i only see a resurrection remix one in alpha stage (not sure if its still being developed tho) , the rest are all touchwiz-based.
Anyone knows any other aosp roms available? Thanks!

There's a lineage os which is also in alpha

All of AOSP mentioned above are not yet in its stable form. You may take the risk of trying them

Is there any reason why there really aren't any AOSP ROMs for the S8 yet? Is it just harder to do these days, or can no one be bothered? Just curious.

It is and has been for a very long time incredibly difficult. Touchwiz does not have a HAL that looks anything like the one for aosp, so a porter would need to do an incredible amount of engineering to get anAOSP rom to work on Samsung hardware

[Q] No Oxygen based Custom ROM Development.

Why are not we seeing Oxygen OS based custom ROM development like those seen for Touchwiz etc? Till the time stable CM comes out for OP2, Oxygen isn't that bad. With xposed you can get enough features of CM. But the one thing where Oxygen lacks is that it doesn't have all the commits for proper functionality of RRO layers themes. May be developers can add those commits.

Flash a different ROM if you want all the layers commits (SlimRom).

Still this does not answer the main question. Why there are no Oxygen based Roms? There are bunch of ToutchWiz or Sense based roms and they are really great, in some cases even better then CM,AOSP,AOKP .. like i had HTC One X, every Sense ROM had better camera performance and even battery life, sound quallity and so.. Like Android Revolution HD.

Because there are no oxygenos sources out there.
They've released only kernel sources, not ROM sources, like most OEMs do.

OXYGEN OS IS CLOSED SOURCE! GOOGLE IT, rather than start a thread.
I think those Samsung and sense roms are "kitchen" roms someone modified from stock firmware images, oneoplus hasn't release firmware images

Building Stock AOSP 7.1.1

As the title says, I'm going to under go changes from LineageOS to stock AOSP. So hopefully I can successfully build stock AOSP 7.1.1 for the v20 US996 and hopefully more. I will be needing testers once I'm finished with the device tree and kernel.

Why did you stop with the other? How about some Resurrection Remix love? Be nice to have a fully feature non stock rom like RR. Regardless, thanks, and i'll test for ya. Of course I have verizon though. I know you said us996.

Thanks man I love that your my tester, and I wanted to try something a bit different mainly to test my skills throughout. I actually just synced RR repo and left it to build but I won't know the outcome till I get home from work. But I really wanted stock AOSP on the v20 with a working second screen, seeing HTC just announced there HTC Ultra with a second screen I hope they release the API for it so it can be reversed engineered to work with the v20, you know how cool it'd be if the v20 had stock AOSP 7.1.1 with the second screen working and having substratum theme engine onboard... It's a dream bro. But definitely will build for your device once I get everything working.

I'm with you man. I've always been more of a pure Android based ROM guy myself. Never been much on the OEM stock ROMS once the AOSP, CM, etc. Based ROMS got stable. Someone definitely needs to figure out some sort of solution for the second screen on this thing though because the current solution isn't a very good one.

Yeah I think someone mentioned that they were going to create an API for the second screen, I wish them all the best and hopefully it goes through. But I rather stock AOSP than CM/LineageOS ... I might also try to build AOKP just to see if that builds...

Any hope of porting Paranoid Android?

So Paranoid Android is back and I really feel a ROM like that is what this phone needs. It would be really great to see it ported to this phone and it would give us more options and the community a much needed boost. Is it possible to port it over and if so is anyone willing to attempt? I would try to do so myself but I don't even know where to start and unfortunately my computer just took a dump so I don't have anything to build on.

Completely irrelevant the shape this phone is in when it comes to modding is absolutely horrible, we could surely use another and more well known ROM such as paranoid, take your negativity elsewhere.

Really man. Nothing better other ROM. Most of customization options of PA are just for official builds like color palette.
I'd prefer MIUI or Flyme maybe... There are a bunch of roms that seem identical to me, like AICP, RR, NucleaROM, AOKP

^ This. I have scrapped the web for a single hope of MIUI or Flyme. Na-da. It's very sad. Those are some of the most beautiful-looking ROMs you can grace your phone with. Posted requests on MIUI and Flyme forums a while back. Nothing D:
It's sad, really. I know the devs are really doing their best with updates, and we appreciate it, but the slew of same-looking ROMs is fast becoming stale, imo.

Tbh I never used MIUI or Flyme even though I think there was a MIUI port on my previous phone, thea. But I hoped I would be able to try some day.
And the people that are trying to do stock-based ROMs just delete some stuff and add a couple of features, maybe change the UI a little bit... I'd love a stock based ROM with a different quick settings drawer and stock Android icons, plus NO ONE is doing any kernels for A2017G stock, literally NO ONE
Lol, let's hope a Dev will be kind enough.
I had Flyme on my One M8 last year. It wasn't a very good port, kernel-wise; battery consumption was over the roof, but the UI alone made me use it alongside S-Rom.
The stock rom provided is just plain bad and not a good base to work on.
The other choices are asop based or lineage based with add this feature or remove that feature, how much can you really change?
As for MIUI to iphoneish.
I think everyone should be glad that you even have choices. IMHO
If you really don't like what is available research on how to build your own.

I saw a DU v12 build on afh awhile back. Built in March. Never did download it, hoping to see a later version pop up.

Saw it too, I think it was from a Turkish dev. Unfortunately it was a nougat release.. Pls guys, more Gud ROMs
V11 is Nougat, v12 is (should be) Oreo. I used to use WesTD's Nougat build. If it wasn't for the video playback issue I'd probably still be on it.
Anyway, DU 12.1 is their current version I think.

Future of OP3T

What is the future of OP3T concerning roms? I know One Plus will not provide support after the O update, so well have to get our taste from custom roms. Why are there so many resurrection ROMs? Does anyone still use all those features anyhow? I can't tell you the last time i heavily modified my rom. I typically stay on PA, FreedomOS, or stock rooted.
Does anyone know where I can find some AOSP kernels?

no one said O is end of the line for 3/3T, it's the end of beta, they cant keep 2 beta's
that's said, even if that's true, there will be plenty of O custom roms, and probably P when it's released...
AOSP kernel, hmm, ther was one i don't remember it's name i'm not sure if it's still maintained, look for it on the cross devices section, it was the kernel for the OSIP rom.

Personally I think it's crap that this phone won't get any software updates after Oreo. Phone should have shipped with 7.0 out the box. This will definitely be my last OnePlus

There will be no Android P without the source code which One Plus won't release because theyre stopping after Oreo. Oreo based Roms will be the final Android version.

I'm sure there will be custom roms after Oreo (not OOS based tho ofc), same as Oneplus 2 have nougat as custom roms.

Actually I don't know how that goes, since I know nothing about developing ROMs, but since there is new OS versions for devices which didn't get them officially, there must be some way. Some functions propably not gonna work similarly, depends on device tho (Samsung Note 4 example.. custom ROMs were missing all "S pen" -stuff and camera quality was horrible. All camera framework stuff were binded to Touchwiz itself), but atleast our Oneplus 3T is quite simple device and camera is so far working "good enough" even on custom ROMs.

The source code used for custom roms is based on aosp(google)not on the one released by oneplus. Basically the one on pixel and nexus devices and mixed up with oneplus drivers( blobs actually)..
So no. Custom roms will continue till developers stop making builds.years after oneplus droping support
This phone is good for the next year at least. People will still have it since it's like the budget pixel

even OPO has 7.1.2 custom roms, why you need to worry ?

Not really. The code oneplus release, the blobs and the devices trees can help to improve custom ROMs, but custom ROMs won't disapear if we doesn't have the source.
Just look at the Xperia SP for example. Official android version, 4.3. Android version thanks to custom ROMs, Oreo.
The code the manufacturer release is highly important at launch, to have a base to work on to port a custom ROM. On android P developers will take the android O tree and start to update it to support the code changes of P, without the need of OP.

After having over 40 flagship phones and an XL since the Droid 1 it's worth it. I won't waste the time to go into all of the reasons though. I was being a little modest when I said 40

Its not. It can make devs life easier i guess. But i have a htc one s with android 7.1.2 ressurrcetion remix rom and everything is working fine.
And the last official update the htc one s got was jellybean.

Would it be possible to port "oxygen-os" to the Galaxy s8 ?

So, would it be possible to port the oxygenos from the Oneplus one phone to the galaxy ?
I dont think It's possible and I am not sure why would you want OxygenOs on S8. It's basically pure stock android with subtle customization. If you want something close to stock; checkout the Google edition ROM.

why? it just need maintainer and it can probably be port i think... unlikely a man will make this oxygen os for oneplus for the s8 using port but maybe it can happen.. im no good in oneplus but i think it can easily be port just need maintain! never say no with out saying why on xda man.. come on bro dont be negative like this...oxygen os is aosp like and lineage is booting with alpha build.. so maybe someone could port oxygen os when we get stable lineage.. sorry just had to rant this..
It's probably possible, but no one will do it. It's too much of a hassle when you can just build a clean AOSP ROM with a few modifications similar to OxygenOS.

I never said I am against it. It's just not worth the hassle when you have a Google edition ROM available. As I mentioned earlier, Oxygen OS is basically stock with few bells and whistles. If you think its easy to port; I say go for it :good:. New ROMs are always welcome.
