Does anyone know if s8 roms will work on s8 active?
No, it´s a different Phone. Although a Dev could probably port it. Just like Note8 Roms for S8 etc.
Hello guys. i am about to buy galaxy s8 but i have almost zero knowledge about rooting and stuff (i just rooted my galaxy tab 3 about a year ago and flashed custom roms on it. Thats the only rooting experience i have been using iphones). So i just want to ask that which variant should i choose (which can be rooted). and one last thing is that i would like to have google pixel 2's portrait mode on my s8 and i read it here that its only for snapdragon variants ? How can i know if the phone i am buying is the one with snapdragon or exynos ? are they any different ? Thanks and sorry for such noob questions. I am really new here.
If you're buying it anywhere in North America, it's a snapdragon. Every carrier uses the same phone, only difference is the firmware.
G950U is a carrier S8 - Snapdragon
G95U1 is unlocked S8 - Snapdragon
G950F is International - Exynos
As far as root, idk... I used to root everything but it's not what it used to be and nothing but headaches now so I don't mess with it.
Don't bother with Snap, grab exynos. Rooting is not worth the hassle IMHO. Not so many custom roms, aosp like still in early development... If you root, you lose Knox, secure folder, Samsung Pay, private mode in SBrowser, warranty will be voided.... Magisk will help only with bypassing the Safetynet. Grab One5T ?

i want a phone for like atleast 2 years. Is oneplus 5t a better choice over s8 ? i just hate when the phones slow down or hang. is s8 any better in terms of performance so that it wont hang or lag ?? i am prefering s8 because of the screen and camera mainly.

Yeah, s8 is better in terms of screen and camera. OP5T is better in battery, system and overall fluidity. You can't go wrong with 8gb ram.... ? friend of mine bought one for himself and recently S8 for his wife. Though he's in love with Samsung's screen, he prefers clean Android which is flying on OP5T, rather than ekhem Lagwiz ?
Oneplus 5T doesn't have a MicroSD card slot, however. So it's out of the running in my book.
I'm just wondering how long it will be before we see a real Pie ported ROM for the S7 edge, now that the Note FE PIe update has been released?

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 saw mention on Reddit of flashing a U1 ROM, but it was just a brief mention. Has anyone used their Verizon S7 or S7 Edge with Visible and do you have any feedback on how well it worked or which ROM(s) you've used with it? I tried searching this forum and if I missed a thread, I apologize.
I know that the S7 / S7 Edge isn't on the list of compatible phones, but I did see confirmation that the S8 has been used on Visible before. Just because it doesn't have official support doesn't mean that it might not work.
One thing I'm still reading about is VoIMS support. Not sure if the S7/S7 Edge supports that.
