[Flashable (TWRP/FlashFire)] S8(+) Stock Addons - Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development

Void's S8 Stock Additions
This is a flashable ZIP and should work with any S8/S8+ stock ROM. If you're on a Snapdragon device then use FlashFire but if you're on a Exynos device you can use TWRP.
Notes:
This is not a full ROM, it's supposed to be flashed OVER stock, do not wipe system.
Added system applications are all arm64 nodpi
After flashing you may want to go into Settings -> Apps -> More -> Default Apps and change them.
Tested versions of stock:
G955U1 AQH3
G955U Verizon AQI6 (my carrier is T-Mobile but Multi-CSC makes it work fine)
Features:
SuperSU: Classic system root
Busybox: Terminal utilities
Multi-OMC: Means it should make any ROM compatible with your carrier, carrier boot animations and sounds are removed
Replaced Samsung apps with Google Apps: Phone, Clock, Messages, Contacts
Removed Knox: Removes the constant notification about modifications
S-Health fixed: Samsung Health will work without complaining about modifications
Bixby Removed & Remapped: Bixby button activates device assistant
DRM Fix: Netflix won't hang but you still need to grab it from apkmirror
Radio: Samsung's stock radio
Dev Tools: Development tools, you might want to remove this but I prefer it
Pixel 2 Launcher & Wallpapers
Google Emoji: Replaces SEx emoji with stock Nougat ones
Note: Samsung Camera is kept for shooting photos 18.5:9, disable/delete it if you want.
Change log:
v1.1:
Samsung Keyboard and Gallery is now removed
Added Google Photos and my port of Google Camera 5.1. Slow motion doesn't crash but won't work (instantly stops recording).
Now that Samsung Gallery is gone, you won't be able to click on the most recent picture in Samsung Camera. You'll have to go into Google Photos manually. Sorry.

How exactly does one use FlashFire without root? Otherwise I hope you have a magical bootloader somewhere and this isn't just a tease.

You have heard of SamPWND and SamFAIL right?

---

Yep, pain in the ass as it may be. I'd update the post to specify this still requires that. Having root listed as a feature makes it seem like this is a rooting method, even if it isn't. Maybe specify this requires the user to already be rooted, as you're listing root as a feature.

Don't be silly, a bootloader couldn't make FlashFire work without root either.

Yes, but you can root with just an Odin flash too.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...oot-introducing-samfail-root-sm-g950-t3685349 for snapdragon. 950f is already rootable with just a flash (not Odin but as easy) as the Bootloader is unlocked.
I assume if someone made an image using combo firm for 95xf the same method would work. I was working on making a rom for someone to test at one point but I never finished

As I said the root method I shared is NOT for the F variant. You can already just flash twrp and do whatever with those

He was asking and I was responding to questions about the root method he asked for. I updated my response to make that clear.

F variant is the international exynos model. All us devices are the same u or u1 variant, with some only having different model numbers to indicate they are sim locked.

---

Pretty sure given the g950u has a locked bootloader this isn't compatible since Samsung will boot saying custom binary and won't load. Unless I'm wrong and somebody with this model got this working. But I'm willing to bet it doesn't
