Hello
Since I bought the Note 9 I have a theme bug in the message app, the themes that try to change the messages bubbles don't do it anymore.
And the result is quite dirty: I get messages written white on white !
Do someone have the same issue or am I alone ?
This is what it should look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what I get:
I contacted Samsung but they don't seem to knoz what I should do
Do you use night mode? It break themes.. Or maybe substratum?

You can't use night mode with themes on. They cancel out each other now.
What android version are you on? If you're on Pie but you're installing a theme and the homescreen screenshot in the store shows the clock widget at the Top of the screen, then that theme isn't updated for Pie as yet and will cause issues with theming.
I am still on Oreo 8.1 and frankly I don't think I will upgrade to Pie, I saw it and OneUi on my wife's S9, it is very elegant and round but all is black or white, no more colors
In fact I had the Note 8 before and it worked properly, when the Note 9 went out, I thought it would be better, with more battery, enhanced audio and so on, but basics like the themes do not work, and I am starting to regret the change.
Besides all the apps have been upgraded to their current version under Oreo

It depends on theme you use. I have themes on Pie with colours everywhere.
I tried Pie and went back to Oreo. Many dark themes, even those updated for Pie had elements that didn't work properly (white text on white backgrounds, misaligned bubble menus). Perhaps they'll improve over time.
For now, Oreo works great and many of the Pie enhancements are available through Good Lock.
And ironically, this upgrade has shown up on my phone yesterday.
Trouble is I really want to stay on Oreo
But now there is a notification about the upgrade that is bugging me and I can't get rid of it. I seached google for a solution but apparently without rooting the phone no one found a way to stop it.
It can be stopped by using an ADB command to uninstall the Software Update app.

Just got mine too. Look at the update size!
I'm also upgrading, guess if they have resolved the battery drain issue
Anyone root it yet? Does the usual method per senor Heisenberg's directions work?
Post what's different guys.
7.1.1. Got a support tab in settings. Nothing but help guides. No support staff. New 'Moves' sub setting, which is where Gesture settings now live basically. Still looking for more...
Android Pay now pre-installed.
New Camera app? There's the grid options now.
New 'Restart' option when long pressing power button.
Keyboard has Gif support under emoji menu.
Not seeing anything more right now. Can't be bothered to check stock launcher as I use Apex. Sure there may be circular icons etc but I just don't care!
Seems like the battery Life improved, anyone?
I don't have the battery drain issue like 7.0

There are dozens of articles out there on what's new in 7.1.
I totally hate the support tab. It's completely useless for me, any other XDA member or even any non member with half a brain. In fact the whole settings page has gotten nasty post Marshmallow.
Otherwise things seem to be improving slightly with almost every iteration.
NRT by Wugfresh works perfect fyi...

has any one been able to get the new nav bar working?
just installed the update
question
1. not the pixel launcher at default?
2. no Google Assistant
3. the navigation bar still is old design

That's the only thing I haven't been able to get it to do so far. That and I don't have as many round icons as the pictures of pixel scenes show even though I have the pixel icons all installed and the pixel launcher
Probably a silly question, but I got the OTA when rooted. Is it safe to install it from there, or should I flash it manually (I've only modified build.prop for the Assistant and have the Pixel NavBar as a substratum theme).

Not yet, from what I'm gathering it should be safe, but you lose root. I'll probably test it later today, I don't have the time to deal with it if it goes wrong right now.

This is only exclusive for Pixel Phones.
Installed it this morning. Result: No change. not a single round icon or any change!?? I am confused.
Overnight battery drain now negligible. Much better than before.

I just checked my Note 8 and sure enough ... the update is ready from Verizon. I'm installing it now before I leave for work. Let's hope this thing works out okay. This is my work device!
Same here, I am downloading now.. And I hope it works out well also....
Sent from my note 8...
Ah, just got back into the country, saw the posts, checked and it's available. NorCal.
r_r
Just got it as well! https://thematridox.com/2018/03/30/samsungs-galaxy-note-8-get-android-oreo-on-verizon/
does it have the video lockscreen?
Network mode in oreo has changed... Global mode was removed!
I just noticed that 'message tone' has been removed from the contacts page. No more individual text message tones for your friends or family! UGH! Why remove a feature that's been on every Android I've owned since 4.2? I don't want to use a different text messaging app. I liked the way its been set up for the past ..umm... 10 YEARS! I'm certain that Apple will never remove that feature from their devices. I want ROOT so I can go back and FIX IT!
First rule of programming ... don't remove features unless they are broken. New versions should ADD improvements, not remove features that have been around forever that has always worked! I'm almost tempted to use ODIN to go back to 7.1.1. Makes me wonder what else is missing. I'm not happy with my $1000 phone

I still have it. I have Global, LTE/CDMA, and LTE/GSM/UMTS
So far, I've noticed the phone is faster and the enhanced lock screen and notifications are great. The occasional split second hiccups when opening apps seem to have gone away. The battery seems to drain more quickly but hopefully it will settle after a few charge cycles.
I forgot to take a screen before I plugged it up, but I ran it yesterday from approximately 11am until today at 1pm. So for a new build, it wasn't bad at all.. The only hiccup I had was with my poweramp audio player.. But I uninstalled and reinstalled and it seems fine..
But it is certainly much snappier.. And the little default YouTube picture in picture is pretty cool (simply because it just does it on its own). But I sure at some point it will begin to get in my nerves just doing it all the time...
But I took a screen of the battery stat for the screen and attached it...

Has the sound improved like the S9? Is there an option to turn on Atmos sound?
Is anyone missing the force touch settings feature whwn you hold down on an app from the home screen or apps page it brings up options for the app. I cant get mine to work. Seen here at 1.min mark.
Update… i have it. Doeant work for all apps.
Can anyone tell me if I go from a rooted Verizon note 8 and update to Oreo, if I can't get the hotspot to work right, will I be able to downgrade to re-root? Or if I backup what I have now using flashify, can I go back using the restore option on flashify?
i cant get the update via ota or from samfirm

Here is all you need to update from Nougat to Oreo.
https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note8-android-oreo-update/
After following the instructions up above and you have Oreo installed, follow the next instructions to install CRC2 here and then CRC4, then CRC5

Well, I finally got the Double Stuf Oreo goodness on my Note8. It was an absolute NIGHTMARE to get, though!! Had to do it an unholy SIX TIMES before it stuck - the first five wound up reverting back to the stock Nougat upon rebooting!
Happy to report that after a few charge cycles, battery life is great again.
I am on a Note 8 and the last OTA Oreo patched the hotspot hack via bk package disabler. I am doing the sim card trick right now for my hotspot and it's been working like a charm. It is critical for me to keep this... does anyone know if the current update being pushed now patches that as well? If so, can I disable the system update notification?
Thanks in advance
After unlocking the bootloader and installing MIUI 9 STABLE on my Mi Note 2 from xiaomi.eu , after a few weeks an icon to access the SIM Toolkit has shown in my app drawer, I have no need for it so I'm wondering if there is any way of getting rid of the icon / shortcut to it, I know it can't be completely removed as it's necessary for the phone to function properly, any help is appreciated, thanks!

Same here. I'm very pleased with my new Mi Note 2 global ROM (6G RAM, 128G storage) and the MIUI 9.5 in general. Just a couple tiny little minor things annoy a little bit like this one, the SIM Toolkit icon jumps to its 'regular' place on the home screen(s) with every reboot. Also, Still didn't find a complete satisfying MIUI dark theme, the official one isn't complete IMO as well.

Sorry for the late reply, this part of the forum was giving me error 404 for a while, glad to know it's not just me with this issue, weirdly enough I have 3 more of these phones, belonging to family members and the exact same ROM yet the SIM Toolkit didn't show up for them after rebooting, as for the theme I use Paper World, it's a Dynamic / Animated theme I guess? There's a few things that text is black in grey boxes but it isn't much of a deal, unfortunately the official Black theme from Xiaomi is somewhat broken, sometimes if very lucky after restarting it gets applied correctly, aside these I've yet to find any other good ones, if you can't download themes, etc, it may be due to having the MI App installed and doing updates to the apps, cleaning the Themes app cache returns it to factory and the Themes, wallpapers become available again, Xiaomi updated most apps so they don't work out of China due to privacy policy issues, as for the SIM Toolkit showing up in the apps we may have to wait for the MIUI 10 which is Beta stage, I will give it a shot when it's Stable!
I've updated my device to Android Oreo (AOSP Extended) and immediately noticed the new "design choices", which led to the following problem:

That's how it looks like, when I'm trying to download an app using Google Playstore. The progress bar, the name of the app (which is showing the notification) and its icon are completely missing, is there any way to fix this?! Unfortunately I didn't find any way to change the background colour - it would be even better to get rid of the new "everything is white" design, but I would be already happy, if I could at least read my notifcations ^^
I have already spent way too much time searching for a solution, but I didn't find anything (except installing Subtratum Theme Engine, which seems to be a bit unreasonable for just changing the background colour), so you're my last hope

You don't like the new design? It's called Ultra Minimalistic Material. Deal with it, it'll grow on you soon. Besides you should know what's in the notification by now...
jokes aside, just use AEX 5.6. It worked flawlessly. You can also change color on both the rom you have and 5.6, just go to Settings - Display - more
I know this wasn't due to the OOS11 upgrade because I'm pretty sure until a few weeks ago, the upgrade screen looked just like it did in OOS10. But now it looks like this. The upgrade to 11.0.1.3 went fine as usual after restoring stock boot image, but there wasn't even a changelog or any info displayed at all (such as size of update). Just the button in the bottom right corner that said "Update" , then progress bar at top like normal, then the button changed to "Restart", again with no other info on the screen. Just to be clear, it changed to this b4 upgrading to 11.0.1.3 and I'm 99% sure it wasn't originally like this on 11.0.1.2 (the first OOS11 version)
It's as if Google pushed an update to make the screen look like the Pixels, but OnePlus isn't ready for it. You can note the screen also isn't themed dark, like it was before, and like the rest of settings screens with dark mode on. At least it still works, but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be like this.
Is anyone else seeing this?

Updated mine this am, no change in screen before or after upgrade.
I just realized something. @vrman or anyone, did anyone else get a notification from Play Services about a week before 11.0.1.3 (so 2 weeks ago max) or anytime since then advertising "new features" (none of which are new at all, the newest being the "new" editing features in GPhotos). I noticed the same pop-up on my backup phone, a Moto G7 power, running latest (from February) Android 10 completely stock, earlier today. However the G7 still has the Motorola customized/tweaked OTA/update screen.
If you did get the notification about so called new features, does your OTA screen look messed up like mine or normal like @vrman ?
Thanks very much!!
