I recommend renovate ice with the notorious kernel, it has always been smooth and battery life is great.
I HIGHLY recommend the Note 8 port "IronMan-Rom 7.1.1".
https://forum.grifodev.ch/thread/139-rom-stable-n-7-1-1-aqia-13-11-17-sm-n950f-fd-n-ironman-rom/
The performance, for me, is noticeably faster and the battery life is great! Yesterday on it's first cycle I achieved over 6 hours screen on time and as for today had over 2 hours screen time (general web browsing, bit of Youtube, downloading apps from Play Store etc) and still got 70% left.
Very happy!

It's working on S8? I can see it is in Note 8 development section.

Thanks mate, I'll give it a try, just downloaded.
I'm coming from Oreo beta - I don't recommend it. Magisk doesn't work, kernel is not battery friendly, % is dropping from 100 to 80 in no time..... also lags here and there, not everything is working as it should. Yeah beta definitely, there's room for improvement.

Nice - thanks for the heads-up!
I was tempted by the Beta, but then I knew I'd miss the little features that I'm used to (like long press back button to kill etc.0) not to mention the stability factor. But I was itching for a change in rom. I was on Batman rom for a while and then I saw the Ironman rom Note 8 port and I haven't looked back! Everything, for me, works flawlessly - got Substratum theme, using the kernel that is provided and honestly I would say this is the best possible rom available for the S8 (I was even getting tempted to jump ship to the Pixel 2 XL...) but I feel very settled once again
Let me know how you find it!

After few days of testing all I can say is AWESOME. Stable, smooth, battery friendly. And tons of customizations. It reminds me of good times on Lollipop when Xposed was working and I was using Wanam app to change everything...
One thing is driving me crazy though. Substratum! It's not working properly. I have the Sungstratum paid add-on and SwiftDark theme (I have paid for that too!). It shows that all themes applied successfully, but after reboot nothing is changed (sometimes notification bar and settings are themes, but not always). What theme are you using?

Haha yeah I remember those days!
I also had an issue with substratum but since resolved it...
When you open substratum and then it's settings, do you see sungstratum listed there (like in my attached picture)?
My issue was I was using Titanium backup to restore it and substratum, but fully uninstalling them both (and the Swift Black theme) and clean installing them from the play store again, and rebooting, made it all work

I just bought Swift Black theme from play store. Uninstalled everything: substratum, add-on and themes. Rebooted. Installed everything again: substratum, add-on and black theme. Granted all permissions for substratum (I'm using Magisk). Applied theme. Restarted UI only and voila it worked for every app including dialer, contacts and gmail. Then rebooted. And dialer, contacts and gmail is all white again...
Ugh. I think I'm gonna liaise with substratum support but I don't think they would help as they already mentioned that on Samsung it CAN work (but that not mean it would).

Perhaps yeah post on the substratum thread regarding the layers not sticking. I do remember having that issue but doing those steps resolved it.

Hi mate,
I have S8 950F I believe it's snapdragon so how can I install above ironman rom on my device?
Any advice appreciated

Hey, I'm not too sure if that's possible given you've got a snapdragon, but I'd certainly ask to find out for sure in their thread here:

I use the Soldier ROM with NOX kernel. I don't know if is the best, but is better than the stock ROM.
Old thread but I am finally looking to root my S8 as it's getting really slow and battery is pretty ****ty. Thinking a lite rom combined with an optimised kernal is the way to go, problem is there is so many and I couldn't find this covered anywhere.
The phone is fine with Stock Pie and NX 29 kernel.
I won't back to custom roms. I used renovate ice, hades and Alexis roms, but all these 3 have awful photo quality.
Photos mean to be viewed even after 50 years, so they must be good.
That's why I prefer stock rom. Camera is such a great piece o hardware. Cheers
So lack of LED is making me kind of delayed in checking notifications, and that feels weird to me. Is there any way we can implement/enable AOD on OP6T? Root/Non-root, either works. I tried the OG mod for 5 and 5t, which works for 6 too, but crashes in 6T for some reason.
Would be into this as well.

That mod doesn't currently support the fingerprint sensor. Hopefully that'll change soon though.
Always on display-Beta from the play store seems to be working. Lots of potential. Still testing.

let us know if you can reply to texts etc from the lock screen. That's the one thing I miss
Soon as I get my unlock.bin, I have some treble aod features I bet would work..if anyone wants to test it as I dont have root yet, let me know, it's a simple copy with a root explorer. rro.framework.apk to /vendor/overlay reboot

Not that I can tell, but if you click the notification when you unlock the device it goes straight to that notification event.
In the post, paphonb-oos-mods-v14.zip, instead of the OPsystemUI.apk, BRUSH-IN test is available, lock screen layout is offset, harmless and elegant.

Not noticably any more than always on display does.
Meaning, it doesn't effect doze. But it is an app always running, so it will use a marginal amount of more power.
On day 2 it uses more battery than the rest of the apps, but I really don't think it's a problem. I'm getting 6+ hours sot. Display at around 90% brightness. I don't do any 3d, intensive games though. Clash of clans, chrome, Google feed, email, text and calls.
I haven't noticed the lack of the led, since I can just touch the screen and take a quick look at the notifications.

I have tried both alternatives to the lack of one on the 6T. Nice apps ,but just not working out for me .. considering all the posts on the subject, does OP have any plans for a fix/update, @funkwizard? Thanks in advance
Have moved over to the OnePlus community.. Moderator, would you close this please? Thanks in advance

I'll be honest, I don't miss the LED notification. It really frees me to not be a slave to the phone. I use Mighty Text on the phone and at least while I'm home, notifications will show up on my laptop. The last few days I've been using their Chrome plugins which adds more notifications to the desktop, but I'm about ready to uninstall that because it can be really annoying.
I miss the LED terribly but haven't had time to look at the software alternatives. I often need to have the phone completely silent/no vibration, and not being able to see what's going on via varicolored strobing LED is a miss. Love the phone otherwise, but I really gotta sort out a solution using ambient display or some such, without killing the battery.

Plusbeat. I've tried pretty much every other app none of them work well but that one.
Plusbeat is the best one. Love it
I use AOE and it is working great for me
I actually despise when people post
"There's a beer going your way
Confirmation number blah blah blah!"
Because i ponder and ponder and fail to see any other reason than bragging; however, I'm only doing this to convince you of how much i like the app! Do note, this isn't a premium i paid to unlock functionality, it's just well deserved, in my opinion...

An always on display mod? I didn't miss led but aod yes and now that I rooted my 6t I am searching for an aod compatible with 9.0.11

It's a app that lights up the edge of your screen when a notification comes in. It can also light up the Status Bar area if you are in another app.

Very nice aod but it eats too much battery, it was at 18% battery usage, so I uninstalled it.
I am going to backup my stock rom and try the new aod magisk module
First, I would like thank everyone who has contributed to the development of this phone and the continued support. I recently rooted my phone, changed to the international version, twrp recovery and added some mods like viper and YouTube. I wanted other root users feedback on kernels they have used and which have given them the best battery usage. The phone is much faster and snappier since the root but I have noticed more battery loss. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Smurf kernel is best for me at helping battery life without loss to performance. Using battery saving profile
Thank you for feedback.. Any other users have opinions on other kernels?
Sent from my ONEPLUS 6T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Smurf for the win!...
Definitely the best ... don't bother to try other kernel
Just use Smurf and forget about any other kernel.
The only one I've tried for this phone so far is HolyDragon. I'd heard amazing things about the ROM and Kernel in the past so i figured i'd start with that. It's been a full week now and i can say without a doubt I've had a marked improvement in battery life with no performance changes. I also left it with it's default installed settings, but there are plenty to tweak.
I'll have to look into Smurf since it's getting some high praise here.

I think RenderZenith is worth a try. The dev seems to put a lot of research and testing into it. Battery seems slightly better than stock and there doesn't feel like any sacrifice in performance.
I appreciate the responses and I have tried elemental and from the recommendation have switched to smurf kernel but I am getting a flickering on my lockcreen when I get a notification.. Any feedback?

I get the flicker with smurf kernel also. I'd love to hear if anyone has a fix.

I too get it on Smurf but he says it's a stock thing. Never seen it when I use any other kernel but his. Who knows, that flicker doesn't really bug me though.
Ooh I been getting that static effect since I moved to Smurf (yesterday) - you guys talking about the static like effect on the lockscreen right? I was on Elemental for a month, didn't experience it at all.
Alongside Smurf I added the animated wallpaper and the white theme yesterday, so made me think it could be the animated wallpaper or the white theme. I since moved to the black theme again for a few hours, the static screen hasn't showed up again. Tried unlocking rigorously mayve 50 to 8o times.
Can people experiencing this on lockscreen confirm they are all on White/colorful theme?
Render zenith hands down. I've tried them all.
He knows what he's doing and I've been running it on my 3T as well.
Holydragon is running amazing

I just started trying out Smurf kernel with the balanced profile. I started getting the static effect which I never saw before. I've previously used elementalx and renderzenith. I'm on a dark theme so I don't think the white theme plays a role in the static.
The static really doesn't bother me much, but I think I got longer battery life with renderzenith. I'll give Smurf a few more days and then I'll try Smurf with the battery profile.
Totally agree

Well said ! This is exactly what my experience is.
I appreciate everyone's feedback and suggestions.. I have been running smurf for a few days now and it is a good kernel but I'm not sure I'm feeling it a 100%. So today I'm trying out elemental kernel and see how it feels..

Tresk's red flare is a monster, good balance of performance and killer battery. Next I would say a tie for second with radioactive and nebula. Smurf is next for me. Haven't run holy dragon or render zenith. Arter kernel was snappy and responsive but completely broke my phone's encryption bc or the f2fs install process.
