There are official AOSP Roms like Lineage OS for the Galaxy S7 or even S9, but there is no for the Galaxy S8.
What is the reason for that?
I really would like to have something like Pixel Experience on my G950F

There are several nice roms available for the Exy S8 If there isnt one you like the next best thing would be to make it yourself.If it where that easy there would be plenty of them out by now
Is it be possible or easier to port a Rom of the S9. I already have seen lots of ports

Lack of developers. They've all moved on

I've seen a couple of ROMs like these for the Snapdragon powered Note 3 with a lot of S6 apps ported to their ROM. Is any such ROM in development for our Exynos Powered Note 3? For now I'm running Stock Lollipop with some S6 apps like Music, Smart Manager, TW Launcher etc, but It'd be great to have a completely new ROM built with S6 features and such. The phone app looks a lot better and resembles Vanilla android. If anyone is willing to try, I'll help you with the testing part.
Thank you
We got so less developers for note 3 n900 :/
We can't get s6 roms so much early maybe we have to wait for another 5-6 months

So true. but would we ever see a S6 ROM port soon? Even though we have a few devs, they've done some great work like giving us CM12 and such. Hopefully we'll see this too
Need it man....

I got this question while I was searching for a rom with android 7.0 but with grace/dreamux, another question I got, is if will be possible to port the new features of android p beta (Samsung experience, good lock 2018, multitasking etc) to s5, thanks.
@unkupo This is because touchwiz ROMs are officially released by Samsung, with that said each device has its lifespan that Samsung provides updates support.......the device in question here is quite old, Samsung felt it wasn't capable of running their 7.0 smoothly without any lag and drawbacks due to hardware limitations...hence no S5 touchwiz 7.0....8.0....etc.....as for your other question, I don't know about all that, but I do know that lineage 16 (android 9) custom ROM will be available for the s5, well it is there as I write this, but not ready for daily use

Oooh, got it. Thanks, I've seen about lineage 16, if aosp roms got better camera apps, maybe I should give it a try

glad to be of help, I hear you on that bro though the best thing about getting the latest ROM is the security updates provided, at the moment I use DotOs 2.4 .....haven't looked back since I moved from touchwiz, in fact the moment I got my s5 back then, I immediately changed out touchwiz

I'm just stuck at touchwiz because of the features that I use, like increase the touch sensibility, the sensors, best camera quality and some other things that come in hand without need third party apps, but I really love aosp experience :')
Why isn't there a one UI ported rom for our device when we get AOSP ROMS WITH PIE working on our device??
As long as s8 can get one ui pie is it doable porting it on our device??
Sorry for the noob question
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-hyper-rom-unique-t3808211/page55
But that's based on oreo and not pie
I get your point but porting an entire OS from scratch can be a lot of work. Not all developers have the knowledge/ are willing to put in the effort for completing the task successfully. Especially since developers do what they do for free.

Oh okay, we'll have to wait for a stable rom then
we hope that the 7 FE gets the pie update, with that update the devs can port it to S7 very easely

From what i saw note fe wasn't in the list that Samsung published about the devices that will get the pie update. I really hope they update note fe to pie so we can get pie too because note fe and s7 have the same internals if i am not mistaken?

note fe was in the list a few months ago, but now itsn't :/
If Note FE is getting it then I thought samsung can just port it to s7 S7 edge easily, but then they can't do that because the Americans will go nuts with their S7 permanently stuck on version behind the rest of the world...
Note FE has started recieving the ONE UI update so are there any developers willing to port it for S7 Edge?
@sac23 is working on a port for our devices
Pretty excited and eagerly waiting for the rom

Kill-switch is already on it
yesterday I saw that they took out a port of one ui for the j7 pro, why not for the s7 edge?
Already done by @sac23 and @Kill-Switch
Amazing developers

hi there, when we will get the one ui 2.0 custom rom for our Samsung S8 devices?
Maybe when you create it.
Not soon alteast, even I doubt that a custom ROM with OneUI 2.0 will exist lol, 2hard

S7 has OneUI 1.0 with Pie ports so if it can be done there it shouldn't be impossible here. We only need someone that can do it.

That's because the Note 7 FE (same chip as the S7/S7E) was released with Android 7 and got updated until Pie, so they didn't have to port everything to the S7/S7E by scratch, they had a base already
The problems start when you want something you got no idea of programming. People don't work on demand, they do what the like to do because the can do. And they are helpful to those who can't do it when they share their result FOR FREE! Nothing more.

Exactly, that's why I say to not have any hope for OneUI 2.0, someone have to want to work in his/her free time, on something very difficult, and for free.
I'm already grateful with LineageOS 17.1, I though I wouldn't see even 10.0 on the S8/S8+ lol
Such a shame for Samsung even the cheapest Plastic Galaxy A series are getting Android 10 one ui 2.0 and the Samsung flagship device like Galaxy S8+ is not going to get it. Plz XDA developers make a custom rom for Galaxy S8+ based on Android 10 one ui 2.0
never samsung buy again. stuck only 2 updates so sayed.
