The thread is closed because in the last few months there is no news about rom or any work for s3 neo, there aren't developers who want to deal with our device. The thread for the moment will remain closed and will be reopened when there are new activities from other developers.

CHANGELOGS are in a second post. You can see the attual,old and future changelogs for every info of this thread
v1.4.3 TELEGRAM CHANNEL about this thread for news and updates
*******************************************************
hello to all the users of xda I decided to simplify the search of the most popular apps on custom rom of our beloved galaxy s3 neo. First of all, I want to bring an alternative camera app:
The CyanogenMod is a popular Rom by alternative users, one of the cons of this rom is THE CAMERA. Surfing the Internet (randomly) I found a camera that runs on many CyanogenMod (lollipop, 12 / 12.1), is very stable and has many features and settings than the traditional camera (i google that plug in almost any CyanogenMod ) which is very little we used because we can not customize our photos. the discouraged people use cameras on the play store type "retrica" or "Snapchat" with several filters (that some even change daily).
if you are users who just want to do simple photo, but you can easily use this camera:
CAMERA CYANOGENMOD:
Screenshot Fotocamera CM:
{
"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 camera works only for CyanogenMod and based them. another rom (exapmple motion rom) don't work (crash,bug ecc...)
v1.1.1: updated version v2.0.005 from previous v2.0.004. See the changelogs for more info and details
CameraMX v4.1.000:
I found in play store a new type of camera compatible with any cyanogenmod and i think also rom based on motion rom (also stock rom), you can install and use it as a simple app very easily. compared to the previous issued for Rom only based on CyanogenMod, this camera has more features; you can make animated photos (also in gif format), you can apply filters and various changes either to the latest photos taken both photos in every corner of your personal gallery

Screenshot CameraMX:
FM RADIO APP:
following the various threads of various xda here, I noticed that often look for a radio app that will work on your rom because maybe one you have installed is not working properly, or is not installed by the developer.
for sure if you have the original ROM (stock) you have the radio app provided by samsung but on other custom rom .... rom is based on cm and Rom based on motion ROM (or other) I have in almost every case that for you!
CYANOGENMOD (and rom based on them):
some build of CyanogenMod 12 and 12.1 were also given of the fm radio app (stable and functioning) other builds have not received their own, do not know why (I've tried several of 12 cm / 12.1).
in this case you have two possibilities:
- Flash a zip file containing the FM radio app created specifically for Rom cm
- Install one of the two app "spirit radio" you will find in "attached files"
MOTION ROM (and rom based on them):
for the moment as I know, there's only one way to install the app of fm radio and have it running fairly stable, by installing one of the two apps spirit2 or fm radyo (Always spirit 2 but in material design)
They are very simple to use, install as simple apk and when you open it, you just have to grant permissions, and you can now listen the radio station in your area. that's all:laugh:
pros and cons of each radio app:
CYANOGENMOD RADIO APP:
cyanogenmod is very stable and work successfully.It is an app that was written well enough without this many CyanogenMod ROM's could not get the FM radio. strongly recommend it for those who have a rom based on it (remix ressurection, blisspop ...)
Screenshot cyanogenmod radio app:
PROS:
records in high quality and you can automatically reply with the recorded time of your choice
for many countries can put their own frequency band on the settings
the upper right corner you have two choices to listen to the radio with headphones or with the speaker
CONS:
every time you change the radio band, preset radio stations will be reset automatically (I do not know if it's a bug)
the radio scan is sometimes too sensitive (only a few times, it is very rare)
MOTION ROM (or based on theme):
the motion Rom are rom mainly created to bring the features and apps in a rom a very nice phone like the Galaxy s5 (TW Motion Rom), the galaxy s6 (aditya, sammy ...) or the last galaxy s7 ( project lucky). some have entered the fm radio, others do not. on the thread of each rom there are users who share their app radio or give advice on which one to use.
"SPIRIT2":
it is a common alternative radio app when you have the radio in the rom and the developer he has not created a. also it works for Rom based cm, as the app works well enough, I recommend
Screenshot spirit2:
PROS:
work on every motion rom based on them and work also on some cm rom
shows the power of the radio signal in the upper left in Dbm measure
in the past for some old motorola and xperia models also it served as fm transmitter
you can see the station you are listening to and change it from lock screen
CONS:
radio band only limited in two categories EU or US
has some settings that are not supported on s3 neo for hardware incompatibility (example transmit radio fm)
some app example shazam, when you have the radio on, may not work because the microphone is in use from the app
the app show google advertising (ads) removed on v1.1 (see the changelog)
"FM RADYO"(ever spirit2 but in material desing):
Screenshot Fm radyo:
PROS:
work on every motion rom based on them and work also on some cm rom
material desing
you can see the station you are listening to and change it from lock screen
CONS:
radio band only limited in two categories EU or USA
it has a few settings
if you touch the screen at random, changing radio station (possible bug)
some app example shazam, when you have the radio on, may not work because the microphone is in use from the app(bug, born to spirit2 to transmit really fm radio wave for xperia and motorola models (old device for today)
CHRONUS: new app for weather widget (work very good):
the weather widget are about 4 months in many cm build fails to reach the yahoo server to make the updated data of the weather in their city. this thing I found it boring and I immediately installed this app to get back the same kind of weather widgets present in CyanogenMod but also with more features (need the pro version). I porter the app "chronus" finded on play store because this is really very good (and only) solution to your problem with the weather widget of your cyanogenmod. The bug it's not caused by the ROM but from a server error. This app work also in stock and another rom.
Screenshot chronus:

v1.3.2: CALIBRATE THE BATTERY after flashing new rom (reccomended):
Calibrate the battery it is necessary after flashing a custom rom (also if you reinstall the stock rom). This error it also disapper after a flash of new kernel (or from custom to stock). This problem is caused from the file "batterystats.bin" files present on system. To fix the problem you download the app "battery calibration" from play store and you follow this rules:
descharge your phone. (Attend the battery it is 5-10%)
Plug your phone to the charger (ELETRIC CHARGER: not USB/portable charger/car charger!)
wait until the battery is charged to 100% (don't use the phone while charging for every reason. If you use it, the battery information maybe will be falsified!)
when the battery is recharged full at 100%, wait more 10-15 minutes to be sure that Every cell is fully charged.
now open the app "battery calibration", grant the root permission and click "battery calibration"
now you can unplug the phone.
This problem can be occour if you use a custom battery with high mAh (example 5000 mAh, the original it is 2100 mAh). You fix the problem every with this app following ever this rules.

ROOT-XPOSED FRAMEWORK-BUSYBOX- CAMERA FIX TOOL
In this part of thread you can find the root permission installer, xposed framework file, busy box and fix. I have searched and simplified the search for this material that could be useful for those who may spend a lot of time to search.
ROOT PERMISSION:
You have any problem with ROOT permission after the install? No problem you can install the ROOT permission with a file zip (install only with a custom recovery).
DOWNLOAD root installer recovery v2.45 (zip)
DOWNLOAD root installer recovery v2.78 (zip)
In cyanogenmod ROM based you have installed the ROOT permission. To have root permission go in: settings->system info->click 5-6 times "build number" and automatically you active developer option. Now turn in settings->developer option-> and you search root permission and after in his menu list click "root and ADB". Now you have root permission enabled.
To manage proper the root permission with ever cyanogenmod version (and another custom rom), i recommend to use the app "supersu" available on play store and no another app. It is secure and very stable and you haven't any bug with the custom rom.
NOTE:If you go on settings of supersu, you can use the pro version without buy the pro app or the license, at the end of settings click ENABLE PRO (it's 100% free in official app without install a cracked apk)
DOWNLOAD supersu from play store always updated
XPOSED FRAMEWORK:
FOR CYANOGENMOD 12.1 ONLY
For have xposed framework file on system you download the xposed framework.zip and flash with recovery. After you wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot. Before flash the xposed framework file, you must install the xposed framework app for download and use the xposed app, without this app you can't use the xposed app (the app don't work)
DOWNLOAD Xposed Installer app (last updated 16/10/16)
DOWNLOAD Xposed Framework file installer (zip)
You are bored of xposed framework? Have any problem or bug with a xposed app and maybe have obtained a bootloop? No problem you flash with recovery this zip file, this file uninstall from your phone the xposed framework and the next reboot you will be able to use the phone and uninstall app than cause bootloop. Thats all
DOWNLOAD Xposed Framework uninstaller (zip)
v1.4.3: XPOSED FRAMEWORK FOR MOTION ROM BASED:
now there is a stable xposed framework for motion rom based (example project lucky) without lag, It is much more stable than the previous Xposed
follow these instructions:
0) if you already have installed xposed you must uninstall your previous xposed framework
download MAGISK v8.zip
download Xposed Framework v87-sdk22-topjohnmwu (systemless).zip
download this Xposed Framework app with systemless support
now after download all file flash via recovery by order magisk and xposed framework topjohnwu.zip. and before reboot you wipe cache/dalvik cache. if you before this xposed you have already installed another xposed, it is not necessary wipe cache/dalvik cache. After reboot you can use your xposed without any problem.
if you want uninstall all this you can uninstall xposed and with this file uninstall magisk
BUSYBOX:
Busybox is necessary for some app example kernel auditor. For install the busybox you download a app from play store, after you allow the ROOT permission and click install. 5-6 seconds and you have the busybox installed on system. After you reboot the phone.
DOWNLOAD BUSYBOX from play store always updated
CAMERA FIX:
Camera in cyanogenmod and another custom ROM don't work in some devices (no stock rom!). You fix the camera that don't work with this fix flashable with recovery. At the next reboot Every camera work very well.
NOTE:after flash the zip before reboot the system you wipe cache/dalvik cache

They are very simple to use, install as simple apk and when you open it, you just have to grant permissions, and you can now listen the radio station in your area. that's all:laugh:
pros and cons of each radio app:
CYANOGENMOD RADIO APP:
cyanogenmod is very stable and work successfully.It is an app that was written well enough without this many CyanogenMod ROM's could not get the FM radio. strongly recommend it for those who have a rom based on it (remix ressurection, blisspop ...)
Screenshot cyanogenmod radio app:
PROS:records in high quality and you can automatically reply with the recorded time of your choice
for many countries can put their own frequency band on the settings
the upper right corner you have two choices to listen to the radio with headphones or with the speaker
CONS:every time you change the radio band, preset radio stations will be reset automatically (I do not know if it's a bug)
the radio scan is sometimes too sensitive (only a few times, it is very rare)
MOTION ROM (or based on theme):
the motion Rom are rom mainly created to bring the features and apps in a rom a very nice phone like the Galaxy s5 (TW Motion Rom), the galaxy s6 (aditya, sammy ...) or the last galaxy s7 ( project lucky). some have entered the fm radio, others do not. on the thread of each rom there are users who share their app radio or give advice on which one to use.
"SPIRIT2":
it is a common alternative radio app when you have the radio in the rom and the developer he has not created a. also it works for Rom based cm, as the app works well enough, I recommend
Screenshot spirit2:
PROS:work on every motion rom based on them and work also on some cm rom
shows the power of the radio signal in the upper left in Dbm measure
in the past for some old motorola and xperia models also it served as fm transmitter
you can see the station you are listening to and change it from lock screen
CONS:radio band only limited in two categories EU or US
has some settings that are not supported on s3 neo for hardware incompatibility (example transmit radio fm)
some app example shazam, when you have the radio on, may not work because the microphone is in use from the app
the app show google advertising (ads) removed on v1.1 (see the changelog)
"FM RADYO"(ever spirit2 but in material desing):
Screenshot Fm radyo:
PROS: work on every motion rom based on them and work also on some cm rom
material desing
you can see the station you are listening to and change it from lock screen
CONS: radio band only limited in two categories EU or USA
it has a few settings
if you touch the screen at random, changing radio station (possible bug)
some app example shazam, when you have the radio on, may not work because the microphone is in use from the app(bug, born to spirit2 to transmit really fm radio wave for xperia and motorola models (old device for today)
CHRONUS: new app for weather widget (work very good):
the weather widget are about 4 months in many cm build fails to reach the yahoo server to make the updated data of the weather in their city. this thing I found it boring and I immediately installed this app to get back the same kind of weather widgets present in CyanogenMod but also with more features (need the pro version). I porter the app "chronus" finded on play store because this is really very good (and only) solution to your problem with the weather widget of your cyanogenmod. The bug it's not caused by the ROM but from a server error. This app work also in stock and another rom.

v1.3.2: CALIBRATE THE BATTERY after flashing new rom (reccomended):
Calibrate the battery it is necessary after flashing a custom rom (also if you reinstall the stock rom). This error it also disapper after a flash of new kernel (or from custom to stock). This problem is caused from the file "batterystats.bin" files present on system. To fix the problem you download the app "battery calibration" from play store and you follow this rules:
descharge your phone. (Attend the battery it is 5-10%)
Plug your phone to the charger (ELETRIC CHARGER: not USB/portable charger/car charger!)
wait until the battery is charged to 100% (don't use the phone while charging for every reason. If you use it, the battery information maybe will be falsified!)
when the battery is recharged full at 100%, wait more 10-15 minutes to be sure that Every cell is fully charged.
now open the app "battery calibration", grant the root permission and click "battery calibration"
now you can unplug the phone.
This problem can be occour if you use a custom battery with high mAh (example 5000 mAh, the original it is 2100 mAh). You fix the problem every with this app following ever this rules.

ROOT-XPOSED FRAMEWORK-BUSYBOX- CAMERA FIX TOOL
In this part of thread you can find the root permission installer, xposed framework file, busy box and fix. I have searched and simplified the search for this material that could be useful for those who may spend a lot of time to search.
ROOT PERMISSION:
You have any problem with ROOT permission after the install? No problem you can install the ROOT permission with a file zip (install only with a custom recovery).
DOWNLOAD root installer recovery v2.45 (zip)
DOWNLOAD root installer recovery v2.78 (zip)
In cyanogenmod ROM based you have installed the ROOT permission. To have root permission go in: settings->system info->click 5-6 times "build number" and automatically you active developer option. Now turn in settings->developer option-> and you search root permission and after in his menu list click "root and ADB". Now you have root permission enabled.
To manage proper the root permission with ever cyanogenmod version (and another custom rom), i recommend to use the app "supersu" available on play store and no another app. It is secure and very stable and you haven't any bug with the custom rom.
NOTE:If you go on settings of supersu, you can use the pro version without buy the pro app or the license, at the end of settings click ENABLE PRO (it's 100% free in official app without install a cracked apk)
DOWNLOAD supersu from play store always updated
XPOSED FRAMEWORK:
FOR CYANOGENMOD 12.1 ONLY
For have xposed framework file on system you download the xposed framework.zip and flash with recovery. After you wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot. Before flash the xposed framework file, you must install the xposed framework app for download and use the xposed app, without this app you can't use the xposed app (the app don't work)
DOWNLOAD Xposed Installer app (last updated 16/10/16)
DOWNLOAD Xposed Framework file installer (zip)
You are bored of xposed framework? Have any problem or bug with a xposed app and maybe have obtained a bootloop? No problem you flash with recovery this zip file, this file uninstall from your phone the xposed framework and the next reboot you will be able to use the phone and uninstall app than cause bootloop. Thats all
DOWNLOAD Xposed Framework uninstaller (zip)
v1.4.3: XPOSED FRAMEWORK FOR MOTION ROM BASED:
now there is a stable xposed framework for motion rom based (example project lucky) without lag, It is much more stable than the previous Xposed
follow these instructions:
0) if you already have installed xposed you must uninstall your previous xposed framework
download MAGISK v8.zip
download Xposed Framework v87-sdk22-topjohnmwu (systemless).zip
download this Xposed Framework app with systemless support
now after download all file flash via recovery by order magisk and xposed framework topjohnwu.zip. and before reboot you wipe cache/dalvik cache. if you before this xposed you have already installed another xposed, it is not necessary wipe cache/dalvik cache. After reboot you can use your xposed without any problem.
if you want uninstall all this you can uninstall xposed and with this file uninstall magisk
BUSYBOX:
Busybox is necessary for some app example kernel auditor. For install the busybox you download a app from play store, after you allow the ROOT permission and click install. 5-6 seconds and you have the busybox installed on system. After you reboot the phone.
DOWNLOAD BUSYBOX from play store always updated
CAMERA FIX:
Camera in cyanogenmod and another custom ROM don't work in some devices (no stock rom!). You fix the camera that don't work with this fix flashable with recovery. At the next reboot Every camera work very well.
NOTE:after flash the zip before reboot the system you wipe cache/dalvik cache

I'm over it, fixing.
I don't reconfigure my remotes to often, added to things to check before build.
This error was caused by UEI Android Services SDK(LeTV), before using quick toggle you should open it from launcher to go to welcome and setup process.
If you launch it from quick toggle the back arrow will quit the app instead of open the remote selection/adding menu, just open last remote used, there's no change layout/assignments in quick toggle, to do that launch it from the home screen icon. (Install Fix first)
Uploading a Fix to androidfilehost, already uploaded to mega here
Thanks for your help

Wiz *** Pixelize your Galaxy S8
"Extreme debloat: Go where Samsung has never gone before"
*** Development of this ROM has stopped *** (reason: switched to One+ device)
This is an extremely debloated Samsung oreo rom with absolutely minimal Samsung functionality mimicing the look and feel of a Google pixel. The basic apps (dialer, messaging, contacts, gallery, keyboard) are from Google. ROM works on G950F (S8) and G955F (S8+) (I only tested S8 as I do not own an S8+). Should work on SM-950FD as well as reported in https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75844308&postcount=332. Personally I very much like the Samsung phones/hardware but I am not so fond of the software and bloatware. If you want Samsung stuff, stop reading, press the BACK button on your browser, and use another ROM !!!
Upfront "warning"
This ROM is integrated with (a) the NX kernel and (b) a slightly patched version of Magisk. Flashing another kernel on this ROM might BREAK things. Same holds for Magisk. I always use the latest versions of the kernel / Magisk in the new releases so there is no need to upgrade kernel / Magisk yourself. You have no benefit whatsoever in doing that anyway.
Features
The ROM contains (only) the following Samsung applications: Settings (you can't get rid of this), Camera (because it uses all hardware capabilities of the phone at best); camera patched to use Google Photos as "gallery"; camera can be removed via the googlewiz.config file (see below), Lockscreen & AOD (Always On Display), Fingerprint & iris scanning, Blue light filter (optional), Smartmanager (optional).

(Re)Using this work
Other devs, please feel free to (re)use this for your own work ... I am not asking anything from anybody, no donation, no thanks, no beer ... you don't even have to mention that you (re)use this. We are here on XDA to share and learn from eachother.
Disclaimer
I will try to support questions / feedback. I will not answer questions such as "Can you please add Samsung feature X,Y,Z" ... I have deliberately removed them. If you want Samsung, go and use a Samsung ROM. There are instructions further down on how to create your own variant of the ROM so you can do this yourself if you want to add stuff. I will not answer PMs (don't have time to look at them). I have attached also a bash script (as .txt file). This is the script which I personally use to generate the ROM starting from a standard Samsung system.img. If you are a DEV, you can study this to see how I create this ROM. Again, feel free to (re)use. The usual applies: no warranty, installing this will trip KNOX, install at your own risk, ... I am not responsible for soft or hard bricks. Your phone must have TWRP to install this ROM. If your phone is bricked, your best guess is to try and flash the ORIGINAL Samsung firmware with Odin. Do repeat{ search, read }.
Download (multiple versions):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=239365 (up to release v65). Files are called: googlewiz_oreo_vXX.zip.
As of release v66, ROM has been uploaded to mega.nz: see https://mega.nz/#F!WUQ2DYpJ!5l3fVDpoXSdHO8p2IfKCvA
See post #3 for a changelog. Please read it as it may answer some of your questions.
Theming
ROM has no Samsung themestore. Install Substratum (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum) and a samsung compatible substratum theme (e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers)
Splash screen
To make your phone more "GoogleWiz", try the google splash screen. See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75714051&postcount=189
WARNING: ONLY FOR G950F !!! Do *NOT* flash this on other models; your phone WILL go into soft brick - I warned you.
Other stuff
For heart rate / stress monitor: install SHealth (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.app.shealth) from the play store.
Known bugs / issues
"Game" battery saving mode is not working (due to Samsung stuff removed from ROM); will FC settings app
Device encryption will not work (as it relies on Samsung KNOX which has been fully removed
Android for work will not function
Advanced functions in settings: most of them don't work
On a clean install, first screen might show a Magisk error, just ignore it
Installation
Make sure first that "OEM unlock" is enabled in your developer settings (if you don't understand what this means then this ROM is not for you).
Make sure to flash the Oreo bootloader (see post #2) if you come from Nougat.
- click WIPE and then FORMAT DATA (do this ONCE when you come from Nougat) => then reboot into TWRP
- Wipe /system, /data and /cache (for a normal clean install)
- put the googlewiz_oreo_vXX.zip onto your /sdcard
- wipe data, system, dalvik, cache
- flash bootloader (if you come from Nougat)
- flash ROM
- reboot
Please mention the device and release you are on when reporting bugs.
ROM updates
The ROM only touches the /system partition. ROM does not update bootloader, nor modem (baseband). Most ROM updates can be dirty flashed except when the release notes mention clearly that you need to do a clean install (in that case, wipe your /data). Instructions for flashing a modem can be found in: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77759235&postcount=3196
Adblocking
For adblocking without AdAway (everywhere: both in browser and apps) do the following:
> adb shell
# su
# hl
The "hl" command will replace the hosts file with a huge (> 200000) hosts which refer to IP address 0.0.0.0; this will make ads go away in your browser and applications. No ad-blocking app is required. If you want to restore the original hosts file, use the command "hs" (ads will come back then). The "hl" command is agressive; some web pages or apps might not work properly. To use a less aggressive ad blocking use the command "hm" (this uses a hosts file similar to adaway without having the need to install that app).
/etc/init.d, /etc/services.d and /sdcard/init.d
/etc/init.d scripts are running once /data is mounted; do not rely on any Android functionality in those scripts as Android is not fully initialized when these scripts run. Use /etc/services.d if you want to rely on Android functionality; scripts in /etc/services.d are ran later than /etc/init.d; see post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76901055&postcount=1771 for more details. You can put user scripts on /sdcard/init.d/; they will be ran last.
Writeable /system partition
Use "sysrw" and "sysro" in an adb shell to make the /system partition writeable/read-only; note that Magik's safeynet will NOT work if the /system partition is writeable (this is normal behavior).
Building a variant of this ROM
Attached (linux; bash) script gives you a clue of how the ROM was created starting from a stock system.img ext4 image file from Samsung.
Kernel
This ROM uses NX kernel and optimizations tightly coupled to it. Installing another kernel may have all sorts of side effects which I will not support you with. You have been warned.
Screenshots
Screenshots in attach. Black screenshots taken from my own fully installed phone, after theming with substratum (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum) and using the following theme: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers. All launcher screenshots (except the last one) are with the Nova launcher. Last screenshot shows the Google Pixel launcher.
Configurable installer
You can remove apps from the ROM and do some customizations. Create a simple text file with the content below. The file must be called "googlewiz.config". You should push it via adb onto /sdcard BEFORE installation. Then install the ROM via TWRP. The installer will read this file and remove the google apps which have "=0". There should be no spaces, i.e. "clock=1" instead of "clock = 1". I think you get the idea. It's not rocket science. If the file is not on /sdcard, everything remains in the ROM (with Nova as launcher and Swiftkey as keyboard). This config mechanis is very simple, avoids aroma, and still allows a bit of configuration. So as an absolute minimum (assuming you remove all above) you will have in your app drawer: Messaging, Camera, Contacts, Photos, Settings, Magisk, Nova Google Companion, Nova settings, Play Store, Swiftkey, Phone. (Nova Google companion icon will go away once clicked and OK).

For Nova launcher (default); put "launcher=nova" in the config file. For Google Pixel launcher, put "launcher=pixel" in the config file.
For Swiftkey keyboard (default); put "keyboard=swiftkey" in the config file. For Google Gboard, put "keyboard=gboard" in the config file.
Switching between keyboards across releases may cause keyboard not to work properly when you dirty flash; if you decide to switch keyboard across 2 releases, do a clean flash.
The pixel icon pack only works with Nova launcher. If you use the Pixel launcher the icon pack will not be installed (even if you have "iconpack=1" in the configuration).
Screen usage option: "immersive". Possible values are "none", "navbar" and "full". "none" means that both navbar and statusbar are always visible. "navbar" means that the navbar is not visible (swipe from the bottom of the screen to display the navbar). "full" means that both navbar AND statusbar are invisible (swipe from the top or bottom of the screen to make them visible).
The ROM uses pixel icons in the settings, statusbar, tiles, navbar; if you (really?) prefer the original Samsung icons, put "icons=samsung" in the googlewiz.config file.
If you want to know how this works, unzip the ROM and look at scripts/simpleconfig.sh. It is a very simple config mechanism which avoids a complex installer with aroma.
Configurable BIXBY key
By default, the BIXBY ket is set to HOME: the nova launcher home screen. You can put a line in googlewiz.config: "bixby=X" with X being one off {HOME, BACK, CAMERA, CONTACTS, MESSAGE, CALL, SEARCH, CALENDAR, APP_SWITCH, SCREENSHOT, ASSISTANT}
example: "bixby=CAMERA" or "bixby=CALENDAR"
If you put "bixby=NONE" the bixby key remains unbound. This should allow 3rd party button remappers to work.
Code:
HOME = Nova launcher home screen
BACK = go one step back (same as back key in navbar)
CAMERA = open camera; once in the camera pressing the bixby key takes a picture
CONTACTS = open Google Contacts app
MESSAGE = open Google Messaging app
CALL = open Google Phone app
SEARCH = perform search in the current application
CALENDAR = open Google Calendar
APP_SWITCH = open screen where you can switch between running apps (same as "recents" key in navbar)
SCREENSHOT = take a screenshot
ASSISTANT = Google assistant (of course will not work if you have "assistant=0" in your googlewiz.config)
NONE = do not bind the bixby key; should allow 3rd party remappers to work
VoLTE
Many people ask for VoLTE. I can't do it properly ... sorry ... not for now ... my provider does NOT support VoLTE ... which means that I cannot test anything. In addition, VoLTE is CSC specific configuration and all CSC config has been currently removed from the ROM. It is tricky to bring this back into the ROM ... especially if I cannot test anything. I would just be working in total darkness. Please understand this. If there is a DEV wiling to help let me know. However, see post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77598885&postcount=2888 and post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77597891&postcount=2885, these might give some hints to try and make it work.
Good news: Some people have VoLTE running; see the following posts; thanks to @meldrak and @kuduku
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77663720&postcount=2966
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77669115&postcount=2984
Android wear and Samsung gear
Android wear is not working. Same point as for VoLTE. I do not own a wear device which means that I cannot test anything. If there is a DEV wiling to help I can explain what to try. Samsung gear is working but you need to flash additional package on top of the ROM; see post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76412043&postcount=1102. I have not personally tested this (as I don't own a device); but user zoltain73 tested it (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76417301&postcount=1120).
Live wallpapers
No live wallpapers in the ROM. However, if you really want this, flash the package attached to the following post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76887206&postcount=1752
Bluetooth and audio
Some users are reporting bluetooth audio issues with Bose headsets. Enable developer settings and set the bluetooth audio coded to SBC. Check again if audio works.
Google ChromeCast
Screen mirroring to a Google ChromeCast works out of the box. You need to install the Google Home app (put "chromecast=1" in the googlewiz.config file before installing the ROM). If you really(?) want Samsung's mirror link, flash the zip file attached to post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77390484&postcount=2610.
Google Pay
Google Pay confirmed working (of course your bank/card has to support it). See https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78057564&postcount=3716

ROM OS Version: 8.x Oreo
Version Information
Status: Stable
Created 2018-03-17
Last Updated <today>
Bootloaders
Before flashing this ROM, please make sure that you first flash the Oreo bootloader (see zip file attached to this post).
If you want to go back from Oreo to Nougat, you must revert to the Nougat bootloader (see zip file attached to this post).
If you accidently flash the wrong bootloader, please do not panic. Nougat ROM will not boot with a Oreo bootloader. Oreo ROM will not boot with a Nougat bootloader. If your device is stuck do the following: Press BIXBY + VOL DOWN + POWER and keep them pressed for about 10 sec. You will see a turkoise screen with a big white "Warning" on top. Press volume down. Immediately press BIXBY + VOL UP + POWER and keep them pressed until your device is back into TWRP. Now flash the proper bootloader. So, it is highly recommended that you put both zip files attached to this post on your /sdcard !!!

It should be possible as of this release to install another kernel.
I have only tried with the stock kernel.
After flashing a kernel you will loose root. You must reflash the file Magisk.zip (this is included in the ROM in the directory called "root"). Unzip the ROM zip file and you will see that directory.

Miscellaneous, Hints & Tips
Speed up Nova launcher
Open Nova settings, Look & Feel, then set "Scroll speed" and "Animation speed" to "Faster than light".
Google Assistant
Google assistant only works with English/UK as main language and you must have internet connection.
Google now cards (see attached picture)
Swipe from home screen left border to display Google card feed (enable in Nova settings > Integrations > Google Now Page; also open the Google search app to initialize it). After a reboot, the first swipe will show an empty screen, just tick on the search bar to make the cards appear.
Google Lens photo analysis
Google Lens photo analysis is supported from the photos app but only if your language is set to English. Read this: https://support.google.com/photos/answer/7539151?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Android. To make lens work with other languages, look at post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76528084&postcount=1280
Google Lens app
As of v53 the ROM also support early versions of the Google Lens app; I have the impression it is not 100% stable. I guess Google is rolling it out to get user feedback so that the AI machine learning algorithms can be trained with more and better data.
Google cloud printing
The Google cloud printer is included in the ROM; this means - for example - that applications which support print function you can print a PDF file onto Google drive.
Google markup
Google markup is a small photo editor which allows you to draw on a photo. To use it, open the photos app, click on a photo, then on the menu with 3 dots in the upper right corner and "Edit with markup". It's handy for marking something on a screenshot. Note that the share button in the markup app does not work. This comes from Android P developer preview 2.

Bootloaders
Before flashing this ROM, please make sure that you first flash the Oreo bootloader (see zip file attached to this post).
If you want to go back from Oreo to Nougat, you must revert to the Nougat bootloader (see zip file attached to this post).
If you accidently flash the wrong bootloader, please do not panic.
Nougat ROM will not boot with a Oreo bootloader.
Oreo ROM will not boot with a Nougat bootloader.
If your device is stuck do the following:
Press BIXBY + VOL DOWN + POWER and keep them pressed for about 10 sec.
You will see a turkoise screen with a big white "Warning" on top.
Press volume down.
Immediately press BIXBY + VOL UP + POWER and keep them pressed until your device is back into TWRP.
Now flash the proper bootloader.
So, it is highly recommended that you put both zip files attached to this post on your /sdcard !!!

Attention
This was built and tested on the Samsung Galaxy S8 G950F (Exynos) varient.
For Galaxy S9 and above which use encrypted CSC files - I have disabled a few CSC features because I can't test their implementation.
EdXposed is still very much a WIP and is still in beta.
THERE COULD BE BUGS/CRASHES/BOOTLOOPS, but it's pretty stable.
I've been working with both solohsu and C3C0 on testing EdXposed on Samsung devices.
Major Update
In the Pie version of FirefdsKit, I have updates the project in the following aspects:
Moved project from Eclipse to Android Studio
Updated compile SDK version to use latest SDK (28)
Updated dependencies to use online sources
Switched from Chainfire's SU library to topjohnwu's (Magisk) SU library
Installation
To install this module you need the following apps and modules installed on your device:
Magisk v18.1 and above - https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Magisk Manager v7.0.0 and above - https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Riru Magisk module v16.0 and above - https://github.com/RikkaApps/Riru/releases
EdXposed Magisk module v0.3.0.0_beta2 and above - https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/releases
EdXposed Installer v2.2.1 and above - https://github.com/solohsu/XposedInstaller/releases
Download
Since EdXposed is still in an early stage, I have marked the initial release as Experimental.
In order to download it you need to enable seeing experimental releases in the module list - EdXposed Installer > Settings > Versions to be shown > Experimental
http://repo.xposed.info/module/sb.firefds.pie.firefdskit
Source Code
https://github.com/Firefds/FirefdsKit
Known Issues
Some features are removed on purpose. Since GravityBox has been working on Samsung Oreo devices without much issues, I only implemented features that need special Samsung coding. You can check GravityBox for Pie for additional features.
It could take some time to popup the root request, just wait a few minutes until it pops up, usually not much after the xposed installer recognized the module
External Libraries
The project uses the following libraries:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/libsu
https://github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge
https://github.com/rovo89/XposedMods/tree/master/XposedLibrary
https://github.com/jaredrummler/ColorPicker
Samsung framework libraries which are used for compile only
EdXposed Whitelisting
Users who want to use EdXposed's whitelist feature should whitelist the following apps:
Android System - android
Call - com.samsung.android.incallui
Camera - com.sec.android.app.camera
Contacts - com.samsung.android.contacts

The root request is called in the background and can take some time to popup.
Leave the app open for a few minutes, it should work.
If I see many complaints, I'll pop the request on startup.

Here you go. And the way I saved the logs is:
-I disabled all other modules except Firefds kit.
-rebooted.
-went to xposed logs and cleared the logs.
-rebooted.
-waited a bit then held the power button to show the power menu.
-tapped on one of the invisible icons and the back button.
-went to xposed logs, reloaded once and save them.
And I also included a screenshot how it looks.

Can you recheck and see if all the logs appear in the log file as they appear in the app?

I have checked and compared both of them and they both end at that line that says "using i".
I tried to get the logs this time disabling all the magisk modules but the log ends at exactly the same incomplete line.
And the thing that's driving me crazy now is that I tried different xposed installers and only the current one actually writes logs (although incomplete). Maybe an xposed issue. I'm no expert so I'm not sure what's wrong.
I'll keep searching for a solution and post back here once I get the complete log.

The EdXposed logs can behave weird.
Try the following:
Make sure you have ADB on your pc.
From the command prompt run adb with the following command: adb logcat > xposed.log
Then go back to the device and open the power menu
Finaly go back to the command prompt and CTRL-C to stop the logcat.
A file named xposed.log should be created on your pc, you can upload that.
