The dev mentioned it force closes means it isnt stable.

So far so good! I really like this and the options you give.
One quibble, I am wondering if you can add the Australian CSC? Our CSC is XSA.

When did you flash this rom?
Learning about the battery life takes more than 24hrs.

Thanks for the ROM. Can anyone confirm call recording apps(not the built-in dialer record button) are working on this ROM?

the iris scanner does not work correctly.
the phone gets very hot.
I have uninstalled the rom!

Phone is very hot and battery goes down 1 or 2 per cent every couple of minutes with nothing running in background. Uninstalled. Looking forward to issues being solved.

Awesome, thanks for acknowledging my feedback. I have a bit more for you.
As reaper000 posted, the camera isn't working for me either, that also means that iris scanning and face recognition is not working either.
Google Chrome crashed in the background for me too, might have just been a one off so I'll keep an eye on it.
So far the ROM feels great, it has that amazing and slick feel to it, like perfect stock.
As for features I'd like added, maybe more options in the Aroma installer?
A "Pixel" option that removes all Samsung stuff and essentially makes it a Galaxy Nexus
An option to make the navbar Pixel style and maybe even a Substratum skin for the rest
An option to remove Samsung Keyboard and only have Gboard
Maybe the possibility of removing the navbar entirely and adding in gesture control frokm Android P? I already use gestures through a third party app, but it being baked into the system would be cool.
Thank you so much, I'll continue to watch and provide feedback, and look forward to your updates.

[ROM][L7 II] NoobROMV1 by Erpi

Hi, I started making my own rom, I'm not very expert in modding, but I try to do my best.
The rom is not ready yet, but I've already made its thread because I want to share my work with you and I haven't lot of ideas and experience, so I need your help.
FEATURES:
Based on Russian stock JB 4.1.2 system (taken from 4pda)
Deodexed
Rooted
Very slim
Faster than stock
Enabled QSlide apps, even in statusbar
Changed bootanimation with one "special"
Transparent StatusBar
Build.prop tweaked
Added Reincarnation Engine Tweaks
Something more that now I don't remember :angel:
Added Morelocale 2
Apps removed:
Voice Recorder
Google Maps
Google Street View
Music and Music Widget (replaced with Clean Music, very slim and fast)
LG SmartCard Service
Google TTS
Gallery (replaced with QuickPick)
Weather, Weather themes and widget
Google PlayGames
Google Magazines
Stock launcher and its themes (replaced with Nova Launcher)
Help Desk
Hangouts (you can find it on Play Store)
Google Drive (available on Play Store)
Chrome (available on Play Store)
Google Books
App Club
Stock Keyboard (replaced with LG G3 keyboard)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I haven't released anything because I have some problems, in particular:
BUGS:
Nova Launcher goes on FC (but I think to know how to solve it, I need only time to test it)
Wi-Fi doesn't turn on (I think because of build.prop tweaks)
Statusbar isn't transparent (I don't know why, I modded SystemUI.apk and android.policy.jar, but no results)
G3 keyboard doesn't work (I think to replace it with AOSP 4.2 keyboard)
Now I need you guys, I would like to have some ideas and maybe a little help
As soon as possible I will fix bugs and release NoobROM V1
See you soon for news...
Reserved
Since you've taken it from 4pda only russian and english languages are present, right? Are front button back lights working?
I have few suggestions for future releases:
-AOSP Lockscreen
-AOSP Dialer app
-Personalization settings for status bar (eg. Potato Statusbar)
-Perhaps AROMA installer
It's great to see someone is developing roms for our phone :good:
Thanks, keep it up!

Yes, only russian and english, but I added Morelocale2 as system app, so you can set your own language in most of apps
All backlights work, even the led of home button
For your suggestion (thank you) :
- I don't know if I am able, I will try maybe
- It's a good idea, I will try
- Yes, but these personalisation make phone slower.. I don't know, maybe I will add Potato Gradient to solve the issue of transparent statusbar
- I think I'm not able to add this feature :/

Since you won't start porting it from L9 II without proper drivers, this is nonsense
I myself also started to cook a ROM for this device, but I think I'll keep it close to stock, like launcher, lockscreen, etc. But this is a really nice start of a project, although I'm not a developer also, if you need assist contact me.:good: Keep it up!

If the rumors about getting a KK based stock rom in July are correct (fingers crossed), then the best thing to do would be to wait for it and then try to debloat it - just like our friend here does with the current stock rom.
And Erpinoob - thanks for the effort. This phone really needs some development efforts just like yours.
erpi then you finished the fix for the rom? :good:

Wow looking forward to this
Here's some suggestion:
- Use the AOSP version of Messaging, Camera, Calendar, Lockscreen and stuffs
- SystemUI mods. Very very please :victory:
- Use Trebuchet Launcher instead of Nova. People may like it that way
- Maybe use some Jeeko's PureAudio or PureGraphics
- Adblock and GoogleDNS
I don't know how to help you with the coding or such, I'm just giving you ideas
Oh by the way, I once requested the Transparent Status Bar, but one of the Optima Team member says there's something wrong with the android.policy.jar so I think it's not possible... yet :laugh:
I'll test it later
Hey there, I have some suggestions-
Use Xperia Z2 or Z3 keyboard
Rename Nova Launcher to Launcherl.apk and put it in system/app(it may work) or use Kitkat Launcher
Zipalign apks
Build.prop tweaks --
ro.scf.lcd.density=220
Qualcomm tweaks --
debug.qctwa.statusbar=1 - qualcomm device specific
debug.qctwa.preservebuf=1 - qualcomm device specific
debug.qc.hardware=true - qualcomm device specific
com.qc.hardware=true - qualcomm device specific (from androidforums.com)
Did you edit wpa_supplicant.conf due to which wifi is not working?
You can remove libwebviewchromium.so from /system/lib
Is this rom for p710 or p715, single sim or dual sim.

Dear LinhPhi9x94,
Thank you very much for BlurOS Release2!
Cool build !!!
Looks interesting. Is this ROM based on CM?
Can't log in to my Google account during setup, if I skip signing in it advances to the groovy blue/purple Blur logo on white background with the network speed and battery logo at top right corner but can't get past here... secret?
OK now, fourth time was the winner with a few manual reboots.
Very nice fresh look, unique.
I like it. Good job.
Does this ROM actually use 3.10 kernel?
Can we flash supersu 2.65 or above for this rom as superuser is a bit uncertain for some apps and is required to ask again and again after every reboot
Edit : supersu is working
Customization KILLS !!!
Just installed the rom via TWRP 3.0.2. The following are my comments:
♦ The customization is simply awesome *Almost every customization from every kind of rom out there is present inbuilt* Awesome work by the BlurOs team ! (P.S I love lockscreen blur, its present)
* The default wallpaper sucks though
* Camera : Snap Camera (better pictures than sultan's, my opinion)
* Root is inbuilt
* Performance is excellent. The off screen gestures are pretty snappy
* The gallery app is quicker than most
* Battery life will be updated in a day or two
* Addictive Rom ! Do try it people !
Awesome work !! Best rom I've flashed till date !! ♥in it !!
BUG :
# The system update says there is no internet connection, even when the phone has one !
Last time I tried there were some Viet characters/apps. Is it all English now?

If you're a fan of how IOS looks, then this is the perfect ROM for you.
This has the CMTE theme engine installed and has a 4 pre-installed themes you can pick from, one of them is a dark theme which I'm very happy about.
I'm going to keep this ROM on my phone for a few days to see how I like it. I never thought I'd stick with a ROM that replicates the look of iOS, but it's a very interesting idea and It's very refreshing compared to all the stock looking ROMs that are available.
Also, in additition to looking so different from all the other ROMS out there, it has a ton of settings and options that most major and minor roms have, anything you can imagine really.
Edit:
Only downside i've found so far is that there's no way to disable the Capacitive Button Lights.
Edit2:
Can't seem to delete Gapps from the ROM. Un-install them through Titanium backup, but they reinstall themselves after a reboot. Anyone have any ideas?

i installed opengapps as part of the blurOS install process - my regular filters (include/exclude) and things worked well
no major issues. privacy settings, themes work well. Minor issue - phone calls sometimes cannot be picked using the circular green/red buttons and i had to swipe down the notification area to accept calls. Also, the default theme background is white + foreground text also white. Changing to another theme fixed that issue
Hello, what kernel you can try with this rom?
hey guys im getting error executing binary, unable to mount.
im currently using multirom with cm13 on primary and cm12 on secondary.

The ROM comes with the gaps bre-baked, which is why it's so big. I was trying to delete them so I could use MicroG to immitate gapps, but not actually have any gapps on my phone. But the normal gapps kept getting reinstalled when I rebooted the phone.
I installed rom yesterday. I'm liking the customization provided. Also I feel audio output is far better than all other ROMs i tried. Thanks. I will post my battery review later

I'd like to introduce to You guys my latest rom. Taimen! It's a heavily debloated rom that I turned into a Pixel AOSP rom as much as I could. It features most if not all Pixel 2XL Android P apps and no Samsung apps! This way Your Note8 will be even faster and smoother. It also reduces ram usage a lot. And if You want to try AOSP or just something different and Lineage isn't stable yet. This rom should be perfect for You!

Latest Note8 Firmware.
All Pixel 2XL Android P Apps.
Pixel 2XL Android P Sounds(Ringtones, Notifications, UI).
Pixel 2XL Widgets.
Pixel 2XL Android P Animations.
SetupWizard from AOSP.
HUGE DEBLOAT.

Pixel 2XL Android P Live Wallpapers.
Pixel 2XL Android P Launcher.
SuperSU - Most stable for now.
Stock kernel.
Pixel Boot Animation.
Google Camera with HDR+!
And more!
---------------------------------------------
Boot can take up to 5-10 minutes. So be patient .
After You flash the rom:
After the SetupWizard is done, make sure to uncheck all Additional Apps.
Go to Settings > Apps > Phone and choose it as default. Otherwise You won't be able to see InCallUI.
Go to Developer Options and change animation speed to 0.5x for the smoothest experience!
Install Pixel Live Wallpapers from the link in the thread.
Install "Layers" app from Play Store and then through this app apply Pixel Navbar Theme.
Make sure that You open material status bar app after flashing the rom and disable and enable it again.

UPDATE: Played with it for a while and WOW. I have to say that this is the smoothest rom I have ever used. On any device ever. 3.2GB free ram vs 1.9GB on stock.
Great work! Just wondering, is there any way to make the pixel 2 live wallpapers work on other roms? i installed the apk and google wallpapers but it crashes every time i open google wallpapers and tap on change wallpaper.

No idea. Wallpapers crash here on all roms that I had. Maybe they don't support Note8 yet. But live wallpapers work fine!

Note8 is too expensive, most Devs got S8 and S8+ instead. That's why rom development is so slow here.
And SD Note8 can be supported but I'd need a device to test roms and we also need TWRP for it and a kernel without encryption, knox etc. And so far SD just got root. Hopefully they will make TWRP for it too.
I'm having another issue is that my gear 3 saying samsung pay isn't supported I need it

Just tried DeX and it only works for screen mirroring. DeX desktop doesn't load because of missing Samsung apps. No idea about GearVR though. It could work since it doesn't rely as heavily on stock Samsung apps that much. But don't forget about Daydream VR! Daydream should work just fine . You can separately install Samsung apps to get DeX to work.
And to everyone, I'm working on getting it to work on S8/+ and soon I will try to add Pixel Animations to make this rom even smoother.

Yes. That would improve Pixel experience .
So next version will have:
S8/S8+ support.
Pixel Animations (already tried them and they work but need more work).
More AROMA choices.
And for now that's it. But in the meantime I will probably find more features which I can add. Probably also Magisk modules etc . In the second post I will add changelog once second version is out.
I'm still in jail, but want to try this once free. Please leave a no-root option for install. Thanks for all of your work on this.
Can you add flashable Dex and gear VR?

This begins the era of Pixel 2 mods. While much work remains to be done on Android Oreo, this is an exciting development. Check out those screenshots
Here's my PIXEL² MOD built for Android Oreo! The current status of this mod is still a work in progress. Actually i am working to bring a whole PIXEL² ROM with all PIXEL² FEATURES. But as you know that LineageOs 15 for Our device is still a work in progress so there have some bugs. But as soon as a stable build (BugLess) of LineageOs 15 release for our device, I will Give you a Complete PIXEL² ROM. For now use this..:silly:
Important piece here. Anything flashed is flashed at your own risk. I have not and will not release anything that I have not flashed myself. However, I only release that after testing the mod on my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser running with LineageOs 15. Regardless, you should always backup before flashing anything. Better safe than sorry. To everyone who has asked questions, tested, and contributed I give you a huge thanks.
If you intend on using Substratum, don't flash Pixel Blue Accent Color Mod. I'm working on a simple work around for this.
So as always, make a backup before flashing. I do not have an uninstaller zip made. The best way to uninstall is to backup your system.img in TWRP and restore if to remove the mod.

Common Questions/Issues & Answers/Solutions
Pixel Nav Bar Animation?
-Not yet, still roadblocked on that one.
Pixel Launcher is crashing repeatedly after flashing this mod!
-Go into settings from your quick settings and grant Pixel Launcher notification access.
Not all icons are round?
The problem seems to be in the versions of those apps.
Substratum?
-If you flash the Pixel Blue Accent Color Mod For LineageOS 15 then it may break Substratum. If you want to use Substratum don't flash Pixel Blue Accent Color Mod mod. If you have, then just reflash your system.img to return to stock.But you can still use the Google Pixel 2 Mod.
Notification Dots aren't working?!
-Make sure to enable the Notification Dots too. Go into the Pixel Launcher Settings (tap and hold like if you were adding a widget or changing a wallpaper). In the settings there is a category "Notification Dots". Even if it says "On" tap on it. Make sure "Allow Notification Dots" is on.
Weather is not showing!
-Make sure to grant Pixel Launcher location access. Then give it some time. If you don't want to wait, swiping into Google Now and clicking on the weather seems to force refresh the weather widget on your homescreen.

I'm using quickswitch with lawnchair and I'm getting a few lag issue like when opening google from settings it take about 30 sec to open. Do you have this issue with your setup??
Also why use evolution x 3.4?
I'm trying to find a stable and good daily driver to flash and forget for atleast 6 months. I'm currently using corvus v5 because of good gaming

I am not facing any lag issue with quick switch. Install OneUI launcher from the given link and then Use quick switch to change the Recents. It should work with Lawnchair set as default launcher without any issue.
Using EvolutionX 3.4 for it's stability, functionality and it's customisation. I can guarantee you won't spot a bug that would set off your mind. This ROM with NGK 1.5.5 Kernel could easily handle PUBG smoothly by setting the profile to Gaming in NGK App.
Though I tried Convus earlier too, but I prefer EvoX. You can Install this ROM and forget for 6months. Me doing the same

what's your firmware version?
Have you been able to replicate something like this on custom ROM's? (something that avoids those notification dots)

Avast detected oneui launcher as malware affected, so deleted after downloading, anyway thank you so much.
Why you need to use quick switch module?
Use lawnchair systemless zip from shady mod and multitasking works as default. It replace the system launcher with lawnchair as system launcher. I'm using same setup with Silver core kernel.
I'll move back to corvus shortly once 6.5 released as performance is best on Corvus.

Used Oneplus with extra extensions from shady mod few months ago...but faced a strange issue of battery drain so removed it..
BTW, does your Recents switcher has button to "Close All Apps"...a SS would be more appreciated

Didn't try one plus mod but no battery drain issue with lawn launcher. There is no close all apps button and I don't prefer closing any app as it defeats the purpose of multitasking apps.
Already moved to PA rom so screenshot won't help now.
