[AOSP][Treble][N950F/FD] hadesTreble [03.09.2019] - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &

Disclaimer
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Some personal thoughts:
- you should read everything from top to bottom of this first page at least - i won't offer support for any issues that were already mentioned;
- press 'Thanks' button instead of saying it - it will keep the thread clean and keep me motivated to do more;
- feel free to send me some coffee (which btw, runs out pretty quick), via paypal, if you want to support my work;
- if you take any of my work without my permission i'll report you, and you'll probably get banned.
Initial notes:
ONLY G950F / G950FD / G955F / G955FD / N950F / N950FD VARIANTS ARE SUPPORTED.
1. Don't forget to check bugs before any kind of questions
2. Since most of the GSIs are AOSP, forget about VoLTE, Knox features, Samsung apps, spen features, Camera mods or features, Iris or other Samsung related features.
3. The GCam we use in OneUI also doesn't work, i know, don't spam with "fix pls".
4. On Note 8 only one camera works, i want and i would like to fix that too, but i can't promise anything.
5. You can use any non-treble rom even if you have treble vendor installed, as long as you flash a non-treble kernel. The rom will ignore your vendor and everything will be as non treble.
* To go back to treble just flash vendor/treble kernel and the desired GSI.
* For the cases when you flashed back official twrp or reverted to normal - follow again all the "how to" steps, from below.
6. Not many kernels support treble now, don't try to flash/boot with others unless they specifically mention the kernel supports treble or you will drastically fail.
If any kernel dev wants to support this project feel free to reach me to provide some critical (ramdisk) patches.
General features:
- based on G965FXXU5CSGD August release
- Note8 files from N950FXXS7DSH1 - August release
- S8(+) files from G95*FXXS5DSH5 - August release
- Aroma vendor zip with selection of some things
- latest hadesKernel included with most of the features of OneUI kernel + other patches
- misc things enabled in framework overlay for better experience
- will update when i will remember
What works:
- everything else that's not listed under the bugs
General bugs:
- no signal bars shown (signal is fine tho) starting with mid-august builds signal bars are working
- fingerprint gestures
- touchscreen dies after a while with AOD/Ambient display always on (fixable with spamming power button 2-3 times)
How to convert to treble layout:
! make sure you are on latest official TWRP for your device (links in #2 post)
1) Download a PIE GSI from here, use ARM64, A only
2) Put GSI in internal storage
3) Reboot to recovery
4) Flash treble-convert zip
5) Reboot recovery
6) Flash downloaded GSI as image-system image
7) Reboot recovery
8) Flash treble-pie-vendor zip
9) Optional flash Magisk > 19.3
How to revert treble layout:
1) Reboot to recovery
2) Flash treble-revert zip
3) Reboot recovery
4) Wipe CACHE in twrp wipe menu
5) Flash any non treble rom or restore your previous twrp backup

- OxygenOS 10 (20190808) Erfan - booting, black screen
Others might work too, test and report and i will update the list.
I strongly recommend using PIE built from source gsis, oem ported images might not boot at all or be filled with other bugs, i won't care of those, remember you are on Samsung, Exynos, on a ported vendor, if you want real/better treble, move to any other device/soc.
As for Q, ErfanGSI Pixel Q beta 5, but it has tons of unfixable bugs right now, flash at your own risk or wait for Q source to drop in order to become patch'able.
Special thanks for testing and contributing on updating the list to @ZcoderDEV, @AndrzejDwo, Pócs Márk, Shayan, @snikerfreak @Soydere and many other users, this place is too small to mention everyone.

FAQ (for later)

Great work as always corsi. this is big

That is very big step. Thank you for your works.

Amazing alpha port
Thank you @corsicanu for your amazing work You're the best dev for the 8895 family :victory:
Now it's time to break the ice :
- Following your instructions, I was able to boot GSI in about five minutes.
- I chose to install Evolution X GSI (download link : https://sourceforge.net/projects/evolution-x/files/GSI), don't forget to choose A ONLY !
- When you reboot to boot for the first time, it's possible that your Note will reboot itself several times (for me it was 3 times, and it isn't a bootloop if you follow the OP installation).
- Every reboot you will be getting prompt saying you're having an internal problem with your device, don't worry it isn't the case.
- I experienced all the bugs you've mentionned. And don't let the battery discharge completly because you won't be able to charge it again in "offline mode" (thus I wonder if wireless charging will work in this mod but i don't have one to test unfortunately).
- Bluetooth isn't working, only the switcher in settings is. And in QP if you turn it on it will turn off 10 sec later. In settings there is a mention that your device isn't able to detect anthing around.
- NFC isn't working either. Everything seems to be fine (won't switch off by itself) but can't share something via Android Beam (Galaxy Note 3).
- Dual Boot Patcher isn't working, will end up in bootloop.
If you need help for testing just tell me
Once again, amazing job and well done :highfive:

Nice and complete feedback, thanks for it.
However, try to reflash vendor, i used bluetooth on Evo X with car bluetooth for media and for calls so i can confirm it works. As for nfc, it worked for me as i use my phone to pay for things.

Make sure you backup everything before flashing, things might not work as expected.

Reflashed my Note with Odin and installed everything again with vendor v0.2, now Bluetooth and NFC are working properly

---

When installing or flashing the GSI as zip, an error message comes or do I need to unpack the file beforehand?

Following all the steps I installed RR image, the first time it stayed in the boot, then try again doing a format data and voila! Excellent Bluetooth connection with the car, camera OK and I almost feel no bugs. I do not know if it will be basic but just in case, the image is installed in System and do not forget to download Gapps ... Thank you very much.

---

Installed pixel experience gsi, works great, haven't experienced any new bugs yet.
Camera is ok.

GOD OF HADES!!! TRUE AND THE ONLY!!!
How many sleepless nights it had costed since first attempt 10 months ago, probably only Your Wife knows ? But as many @Eliteteam members' projects, which we know from the past (big KISS to @ananjaser1211 ?), also this one - EFFECTS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT, time is not even a minor thing.
Big CONGRATS to You, smaller for the testers ? (but truly deserved) and the biggest THERE U GO for All that didn't have enough patience and FAITH.
Keep Exy8895 alive as long as possible (tho Ur new toy is already on the desk)!
