I had several samsung phones overall past years . After short time I always root them or flash custom software. Recently I switched from my last modded S5 to S8 plus and.. this phone is working great ! One of the best samsung so far. And here is the problem. I dont want to loose current stability/performance of the phone because its working fine, however I would need few addons that may impact on the software:
This changes are:
- Add Viper4Audio (eventualy beatAudio) - its a must
- Add google HDR camera
- Add modded S8 camera with higher bitrates for recording
- Optional: remove some of the bloatware. Currently I can only disable them, but there are not necessary for me.
+ I dont want to lose finger scanner.
Thats really all I need.
Based on the list above it seems I should at least root the phone, flash twrp to install cameras, custom kernel for permissive mode (V4A)? and maybe just a custom firmware to remove bloatware.
I have a question , if you could help me: What should be my steps to archive above points with minimal possible impact on software (like flash twrp install apps and then get back to samsung bl) ? Or is there a known custom software that has miminal changes but allows me to perform above tasks ?
Im using Samsung S8+ exynos European version.

Also, once you're rooted you can install those manually, same process as the s5 pretty much
What should I do after I purchase a S8 to disable ALL posible privacy issues?
For example, when turning the phone on for the first time opt out of anny non-requierd Google policy/programs/disclaimers/eulas
What shoud I do next?
Disable ridiculus permissons? for example a SMS program that needs camera and microphone?
What other steps I should do in Your opinion?
BTW The phone has Android 8.0, no root, stock rom. I dont want to root or custom rom the phone.
Hi,
I'm using the international Exynos S8 with stock ROM, not rooted yet.
Can I use microG with the stock ROM, assuming I root my phone?
Or can I only use it with a custom ROM?
I want to get rid of Google without losing camera optimizations and Samsung software
Hi
Did you were able to install microG and remove GAPps maintaining the original Samsung software?
Hello
I have bought a very cheap mi mix 3 5G and I have some questions about Unlocking and TWRP and Roms.
the first thing is after unlocking, and flashing twrp, magisk, what does disabe force encryption file?
If i flash Miui it will relock the bootloader automaticaly ar it will stay unlocked?
Since I had a mi4c, I used to flash roms "cooked" from mi-globe.com. Did anyone has used their roms? I have seen that their roms are a little bit older for mi mix 3 5G.
10.3.17.0 while the phone can update to 10.3.23.0
I have PEMEUVF, theirs is PEMCNXM, and I have found some with PEMEUXM, what is the diference from china, global and european rom?
I like to use mi-globe roms since you can make therom without xiaomi bloatware, wallpapers, apps. If I install a normal rom from xiaomi, can I delete their bloatware with a rooted system app disabler? I want to get rid of some google bloatware as well, like chrome, drive, duo, facebook, and all that crap that come preinstalled with the phone.
can I install dolby and stereo speaker mod in the same time?

Ok so here is what i know, miui automatically replaces twrp with its own custom recovery, dfe prevents that so that twrp remains( might be wrong about this), the bootloader will never lock itself, the miui.eu rom is the same as global minus some bloat i guess but beware, it only has widevine l3 so no fullhd netflix, now if you use a normal rom you can use adb to remove most bloatware that came preinstalled, if you want to install some roms you should join the mi mix 3 5g telegram group, we have wip pe and lineage roms. https://t.me/mimix3_5G
After Xiaomi unlocked the phone, I have flashed twrp, magisk and flashed latest PEMEUXM
Everything works fine.
I wished for 2020 security update. This one is from 2019.08.01
And the stereo mi mix 3 mod does't work for me.
You have January 2020 update available for MIUI Global Stable. 10.3.21
As you can see, even that I'm on the global10.3.23.0, security update is still in 2019. Maybe it is a wrong rom.
When I have bought the phone it was with 10.3.21.0 and wanted update to 10.3.23.0.
Hello, ive currently have rooted the Redmi note 7 and i want to know what are some really good apps that require root access.
