[DISCONTINUED][ROM][9.0][SM-N950F/D/DS] Lightheart OS [30/10/2020] - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &

Lightheart 1.0 - The key to speed.​
Hi everyone. My name is Skulldron and for those of you who do recognise me, know me as the creator of Project Pixel, another one of the greatest ways to emulate the Pixel Experience, whilst keeping all the benefits of using OneUI and its stock optimized drivers as its base. Today I'm going to introduce something, different. Over the years of working on Touchwiz based ROMs, I've learnt the description of every little apk, every little permission, what it accepts and what it rejects, its pros and its cons. As a result of this experience, I have one of the best debloat lists out there, with each item on the debloat list, being tested, through extensive testing, and it goes over every file and every partition known in the OneUI OS. This exact same debloat script was used in Project Pixel, which has received positive review after positive review for how efficient and how lightweight OneUI became after the debloat. Today however, I present to you Lightheart OS, a new project that I will be building myself and updating monthly. Today I showcase Lionheart, the Lineage OS to my Cyanogenmod.
Key Features:
1. Heavily Debloated System: The debloat script that was made by me, has over 250+ debloated permissions, apks and other files.
2. Better Battery Performance due to Efficiency - With the removal of an incredible amount of bloat, along with better performance and lesser services, you should be looking at better SOTs and better standby times.
3. Kernel Power Control: With MTweaks and Magisk, you will be able to control your device’s clock speed and be able to force higher GPU and CPU Clock, when doing more intensive tasks such as gaming.
4. Better Kernel Performance - Due to the deepness of the debloat, the kernel now has more RAM and more space to be more efficient and allow it to focus on less threads at once.
5. Current October Patch with the promise of updates every month - Every month an update is released, the ROM will be updated along with it, with a time frame of 1-2 weeks.
6. Restored some stock Google Permissions - Some stock google framework was restored, such as the default setup wizard.
7. All Essential Samsung Features have been kept - All essential OneUI features have been kept alive, for the sole purpose of necessity.
8. Completely Deknoxed -The ROM has been Deknoxed and FRP lock measures have been disabled
9. VoLTE Supported
Individual Features:
1. AdAway
2. Eleven Music
3. Files GO
4. GBoard
5. Android Pie AOSP Emojis
6. Lightheart X Boot Animation
7. AOSP System Sounds
8. Samsung Gallery (Stripped Down and lightened to improve performance)
9. Samsung's Stock Camera with HDR parameter changes, debloated and additional video modes
10. SystemUI Tuner (Provides battery stats along with other useful customizations - Check QS icons and add it to QS Panel to view)
11. YouTube Vanced (Ad-free Youtube)
12. Mtweaks (Has Hardware Control - Similar to Kernel Adiutor but more tailored to Exynos)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: (Backup everything first, including contacts, photos, etc.)
1. Download the zip and download the latest Magisk (ROM will not boot if Magisk is not flashed due to encryption procedures)
2. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik Cache and Cache
3. Flash the zip and flash Magisk.
Notes:
- To view Battery Stats and Storage, pull down the Quick Settings Panel and on the top right click the three bubbles button and then Button Order. Then move the new Battery and Storage icon to the Quick Settings.
- Set Trebuchet as default launcher, for better battery savings. OneUI Home was only included for its app switcher.
Changelog:
1.0 - Initial Release
If changes are made, they will be highlighted in the next post.

Downloading now so will give it a try. Thanks for the new Rom.

Very fast and smooth Rom.
Missing Samsung sync so I would recommend backing up apps like Phone, Messages, notes, calendar, etc before flashing so you can restore via titanium or another If you use samsung to backup these up as you won't be able to restore them.
I personally have installed the Samsung keyboard back on as I prefer this to Google for pen functions.
I also installed samsung store apk which allows me to update samsung apks and also assist with my Gear watch.
Defo worth a try to see for yourselves.
Would be nice to have some flashable options for those that need certain things.

Sweet. Since I've seen many users requesting for certain features back, I will make flashable zips to re-enable particular features and call them modules

It's one of the fastest ROM I've ever use. Buttery smooth, too
The lack of Samsung sync is not something to worry about. I use Smart switch and it work fine.

Thank you for this great Rom. I think there should be flashable zips like for wearable support or like for samsung sync support.
It is very good rom anyway. Again thank you very much.

Using root file manager (I use solid explorer) extract the zip and copy the folder and file in above link into Root-System-PrivApp and make sure the attributes are set to rw-r-r (as below) then reboot and select the keyboard in your settings.
