s9 rom port - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I assume all of you know the galaxy s9 is released, and it has brought some cool features. I'm asking myself, would it be possible to port the s9 rom to s8? It would bring some nice features, like slow mo background, ar emoji(i think), intelligent scan(i think) , enhanced camera app and a lot more. Please give your opinion of that and if it would be possible to have those features on our still fantastic device! Anyone who think he can do this??

Someone will probably will once the firmware drops, nor everything can be ported though as our hardware might not support it, we'll see how things go

are there so much hardware differences? other than the back camera and the normal stuff, there aren't many things changed. Intelligent scan must be portable. maybe samsung will release it for s8 with android p, who knows?? I'm just thinking, would treble give some problems, since s9 has ot and s8 doesn't?

Stuff like intelliscan will be fine, but the s9 has extra sensors on the front aswell, but you know we have good devs, may be they'll be able to port the stuff over

it does? i didn't hear anything about that?

So far, as I know, the features S9 has is related to hardware (like, aperture changes for camera) and also sensor that makes samsung-style animoji available. So, fingers crossed.
Besides it, I think everything already got covered up on S8 & S8+.

In the latest Oreo beta for 950U (CRB8), there is actually a package called intelligentscan. I assume it will eventually be activated, if it is not already.

I was thinking king about this too. I am a fan of AOSP Roms, but the camera quality is always neutered so badly on samsung phones, it's not worth it. Not to mention other stuff like finger print scanner and the edge stuff. We have root and a theme engine as well as exposed, it's pretty good.
The only phone that I used CM on that was worth it from Samsung was the note 4 because somebody made a camera nightshot fix, the pic quality was indistinguishable from TW, but that was an exception.

Is the OP2 not compatible with Marshmellow?

I mean, whats the hold up OP?
OP2 certainly is compatible with Marshmallow , you can already see many MM based ROMs :what::what:

But I guess you're not a newbie to android. Anyway. It's compatible. OnePlus said the release will be in Q1. So it should be there before March.
I don't know what takes them so long. Their OS is almost all stock android except for few customisations.

drivers, optimizations, bug testing, security, enhancements, adding skins also Google certification!
Yeah exactly. OOS is near stock. Moto g3 is running MM but we're still waiting :/ and should probably wait till the last day of the Q1. Or probably they'll miss even that date and come up with an apology letter like they always do :/

I am pretty sure drivers are written usually by the hardware makers, so that'd be Qualcomm for the SoC or whoever made the fingerprint sensor, camera, other sensors etc. Skins - I ain't seen much skinning by OPO except for changing the dark mode and colour of stuff when in dark mode. Security - this is why they need to release latest android, because google is fixing 100's of issues.
Anyway I am shocked that even the slow manufacturers like LG have upped their game and have 6.0 and Samsung has leaked theirs too. I usually wouldn't care but custom ROMs not that attractive without Fingerprint sensor and Laser AF.

[Q] Will you buy it?

This seems to have the best specifications of Samsung and HTC combined, additionally offering dual sim. For that price i can live just fine with a non-changable battery.
Seems like a very nice device. If it will be available in europe, and there's good support for custom roms here on xda, then it would be an alternative to Oneplus 3 for me.
I'm definitely getting this phone when it comes out. Can't wait to get rid of my G5. The thermal mitigation screen dim is killing me!

I´ll hope that there will be some custom roms. On other ZTE threads here on XDA there´s barely community support. The specs are really nice and I have to decide between OP3 or Axon7

Updates are important, espacially if there is barely Custom Rom support. I'm afraid of latter, on the other hand the Snapdragon SoC makes it easier. Maybe this will be my first try to port a Custom Rom.
I'm sure it will be possible to unlock the bootloader, even though that's just my feeling.

In my opinion force touch is absolutely useless. At the moment we have 3 options, single tap, double tap and long click, and if you want even more, triple tap, etc. Why would you need force touch? That's just a desperate attempt for innovation.
At the moment the ZTE Axon 7 is higher ranked for me that the OnePlus 3, especially because of the front facing speakers! If you had front facing speakers before, you want nothing else.

Well in this point I disagree with you. Force touch could and should be a kind of new interaction. It´s a question of implementation. You´re totally right for the existing "gestures" but I think in combination of this we´ve got new possibilities. There´s a lot of potential. But pls note - I don´t see the the advantage only on my side - I´m working with handicapped youngsters - and by some clients the force touch engine might be a positive progress
Front facing speakers... Meh.... I never used it BUT! The audio-chips are totally great!!! I´m a little bit audiophil. And I think the upgrade from my OP1 should be working "nice" for my headphones - specifically for my B&W P5 wireless

It's OK, that's totally subjective. I don't want to discourage anyone from getting force touch.

You're right, back to topic. I'm pretty sure I'll buy it. The only tiny flaw for me is the protruding camera lens. Unfortunately that's standard nowadays. But apart from this it's almost perfect in my opinion.

Le Max 2 have Learning Remote. OMG!!!

I just realise Max 2 have Learning Remote. This is crazy. For USD200 and come with universal learning remote + 6gb ram + 64gb UFS2.0 + 2K screen, the feature is getting better !!!
This is old news man... It's a nice feature btw, maybe it'll be used, maybe not, but the price is very good for the specs.

Seriously, I don't think that having a remote, learning or not, is the most important thing in a cell phone. In the case of Le Max 2, I'd gladly trade the remote for a working fingerprint, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. That said, having a remote with a learning function in a smartphone is a neat feature.

It is a nice feature, if it had no troubles with fingerprint it would be much more expensive. And you can fix it like for 10$ (7$ on aliexpress) and some skill like I did.
This is part of LeEco's ecosystem. They used to make Smart TVs.
The downside is that regular IR control apps does not works unless you install the Xposed module, which works only on Marshmallow.

Porting the OOS camera to custom ROMs.

Hi all,
Have jumped ship a few times to custom ROMs and have came back each time due to limitations of the cameras.
Yes there is Gcam. However the video isn't right. Slow motion is non existent (at least to the level that you'd call usable)
Third party apps don't seem to cut it either.
The Nokia APK does a great job at stills and video but again no slow motion and you cannot use 48MP.
So my question...
Does anyone know what is required to in normal circumstances, get the OnePlus camera to run?
Libs and framwork, etc? And can we obtain them in some way? To give them a whirl against a custom ROM? Even if it's just partial functionality, it would give us a starting point.
Cheers
My previous OnePlus phones never has successful story about this too.

I'd never say impossible, just think that the ever changing firmware and updates to ROMs may cause too much grief, plus because (I think) that the framework is required it may be a pain in the backside
There is an awesome dev called @AEonAX in Xiaomi devices. S/he managed to port stock Xiaomi camera to custom AOSP based ROMs. Maybe s/he can figure out the things if has a chance/free time to do that.

Dunno?

This is one of those things that stops me from leaving OOS on my OP8Pro.
OnePlus should release the Camera app on play store, like Google does. The gcam from play store just works on Pixel devices with LOS18.1 without any glitches.

Bounty program can be good i think. Are there any xda moderators to talk about that? If that thing okay, I think we can collect some money with paypal/cryptos to deliver the first dev who figure things out.

Yea could be good.
Usually people pledge money to get it done.. then pay up then it's fulfilled
If 50 people pledge a few quid each then there's a few hundred £££s to get it done.
Only issue I can foresee would be the terms of maintaining it .
I'm not sure if it works for one it'll work for another.
