Will the s8 get lineageOS or Resurrection remix rom? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Ok i know that there's on the forum an uncompleted versions of both roms, but i saw that on resurrection remix official site that there's a folder for the s8 so that it should be supported and its also already supported by the s9, so any chance we'll get one of those or not?

Short answer: maybe
Long answer: nobody is publicly working on it but that might change.

I know 0 about coding, but if there's already a s9 version wouldn't that easy to make it also for s8 i think both works similarly (as i said i dont know what i'm actually saying), am i completely wrong?

You are, unfortunately. I wish it was that easy but it isn't.

Sadly, S8 & S9 have different chipset so definitely they will have different device tree-coding architectures as well.

so probably we'll never get that for our s8 if we didn't after 1.5 year, and i still don't understand why there's a folder on the official site and why i read in some forums that it was released officially

As far as I am aware no. It will not be possible. The necessary code is private and supposedly integrated into TW so well it can't be ported. I've been looking into this for quite some time due to me owning the LED Samsung case which uses the same code, just an updated version of it.

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:

How can a flagship can be compatible with only 1 version of Android?
There's already HydroOS 6 for testing out there

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 :/

That's a good answer! Xda is for everyone, not just developers out there! If there are no common people, then to whom the developers develop?,!

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.

For the ones who agree, I find it a little suspicious it is taking them this long. Its not a good sign.

MIUI on the V20

So some people may call me crazy, but will there ever be a MIUI ROM for the V20?

Not at the moment.. May be if the device gets popular
Ive ported MIUI in the past. I MIGHT do it again. problem being is I don't think MIUI is on Android N yet. I was actually thinking of porting it but right now is a no. Im about to switch jobs so everything is a tossup.
There's a beta of MIUI on 7.0, but hasn't been released. And even that, it's on an older, slower Qualcomm or MediaTek device. So we'd need to get a build from the Mi 5S Plus for us to be able to port.

When I did MIUI previously I do not believe I actually did it from another device(it was like 4-6 years ago so i don't really remember). It just needed the same OS version.
MIUI 9

I'm not rooting my M9 anymore. The phone works just fine and I'm known to stuff things up by rooting, after all I don't plan on ever changing rom, Nova launcher does what I need, and as for adds.....oh well.

I love rooting just to install sun dreams SRom...he's now not doing them anymore so that combined with the fact I want Oreo and the M9 is so wonderfully fast might stop me.
I will certainly wait until the Oreo update....to be fair though my favorite so far has been Jellybean!! Nougat is dull, I can't stand the Sense icons...thank goodness for the Theme app.

Guys, please don't put your hopes too high and take this rumor* with not only a grain but two hands full of salt.
HTC (like all big OEMs) officially supports its devices for 24 months after their market release. The M9 is getting three years old, soon. In other words, it's more than unlikely that HTC will provide any further updates for the M9. Especially since the EOL phase got reached almost a year ago and not just recently.
In addition, why should a carrier branded device get a major android update the unbranded European version or the dev edition doesn't get? Don't forget that these two versions normally got their updates around 3 months before the carrier branded ones. If the Optus variant really got android 8 at then end of February or the beginning of March then SKU 401 and 617 would already be running this newer version since somewhen between late December and mid-January.
Disclaimer: Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the M9 getting another major update. However, chances are more than high that the whole thing is just a canard.
* Since this info is nothing more than that.
If a specific career device gets an update, would it be possible for all other variants to run it (ported version , may be?)?
Or, would it be possible to port it to other varriants?

It depends. Theoretically, it should be possible, but some carrier specific feature might not work for other carrier. That is, if the ROM is still compatible with the old firmware.

Apart from the carrier specific features, the rom still should work , right? That is software for literally the same hardware..

In general term yes.
Note that carrier specific would sometimes means ril+modem. So in such cases, the port could work but leaving phone and data capability out.

s9 rom port

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.
