Note 8 One UI and PIE - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

It explains everything One UI means Pie so in 2019 expect to see those new features. Some say that there will be a special feature but it is just a saying.
So please stop those pie questions such as "will note 8 get pie? Etc."

EMUI 5 by rom custom ?

Hello,
Please excuse me in advance for my wobbly English. I am French and I do not speak your language
It seems that for the Honor 5X, we will not get Android Nougat. My wife had the update on her Honor 5C and I must say that version 5 of EMUI pleases me very much. Already I like version 4, the last one makes me look.
My question is: is it possible to get EMUI 5 through a custom rom or is it impossible?
Thank you.

It's not. Sadly. There are a lot of AOSP custom roms though.
I suspected it but I still asked the question in case.
It is true that there is quite a lot of custom rom and it is not easy to sort especially that as I said, I am French so I have trouble to fully understand the content of these rom.
I hesitate to go through a custom rom with Android 7 because I would lose EMUI. Unless there is one that resembles this overlay.
MIUI is the closest one to it, maybe if someone port it to the 5x

Just because I appreciate EMUI a lot. It's hard to explain but I have a good feeling with this overcoat.
I would like to go through a custom rom to be up to date on Android but I would lose what makes for me one of the charms of Honor 5X ie EMUI.
I'm tempted to test Lineage but it's the Android stock visually and it does not attract me much, I find it a bit austere.
Sure, I could add a lot of applications like launcher but that's the kind of thing I prefer to avoid. The goal is not to take the risk that it slows down the phone.
Ps: I hope my english remains understanding for you.

I understand this desire. Back when I was a Samsung fanboy, I always wanted the look of TouchWiz in every upgrade. Even more with the release of GraceUX.

It's not really a matter of being a fanboy of a brand because the Honor 5X is my very first Honor so my experience on this brand is minimal.
It's just that compared to what I had before, it mainly changes from a stock rom and I find the overcoat rather practical and pleasant visually even more when I see version 5 of EMUI on the 5C of my wife lol

Yes indeed it's better compared to other OEM skins. I just hope they stayed away a little from the iOS look.

But , i suppose emui 5 should be on 5x instead of 5c . But what not , they just did there good for hisilicon chip
It's just a shame because the 5X and the 5C are very close technically but according to my information, it is because of this policy that Honor makes only one major update on its devices and since the 5X has already had ...
And it's all the more sad that the security updates do not follow either. If I remember correctly, we have barely two and the last and the last fix I have is September 1, 2016.
Honor comes out of very good devices accessible but the follower is really not exemplary. I did not expect any miracles in view of the prices but I am still disappointed that the devices are so quickly abandoned.

I dont if u have noticed this , honor had updated its kirin chips to emui 5 . Since 5x uses sd615 , they dint did it.
A recent update? If so, I have not had anything since September 1, 2016. Of memory, it was mainly for a fix related to the processor.
Despite your information, it seems that the update of Android 7 and EMUI 5 is not topical for the 5X.

He was talking about the Kirin chipset made by Huawei. It seems that they only update the devices to EMUI 5 those which run in Kirin. While Honor 5X is using Snapdragon chipset.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Please excuse me. As I use a translator, I misunderstood the sentence and I also forgot that the 5X does not use the Kirin unlike the 5C.
But I doubt that the Snapdragon processor is the problem because when upgrading to Android M, the 5X went from EMUI 3 to 4.
It's just that Honor does not have the policy to do a serious follow up of his products.

Any idea when it's coming out for Verizon?
- R. Kruse Ludington
Galaxy Note 8<-5<-3<-S3<-Nexus; Droid X; HTC HD2<-Touch Pro 2<-Tilt<-8525; O2 XDA II<-XDA
I believe that Oreo will start droping Jan - Feb... T-Mobile and Xfinity first Sprint and Verizon Last...just guessing though...
Beta should be coming soon. For most countries in Europe. But it still is pretty disappointing that S8 got Oreo and Note8 which uses similar hardware didn't. Plus Samsung could support Note users after Note7 failure.
And porting Oreo to N8 from S8 is really difficult. First beta didn't boot for some reason and getting a logcat with Samsungs new security is bit more difficult. Second beta has even more security which makes it even worse.
Did You guys hear that all Oreo devices have to use Project Treble? So once we get official Oreo we can boot Generic AOSP on our phones!
Coolness

Currently it's just disabled in build.prop(S8 beta) but Google requires all manufacturers to use and enable Project Treble. Doesn't seem like any Oreo betas have it. But official releases will be forced to have that. It's not recommended anymore. Now Google forces all manufacturers to use it. Samsung is already using HIDL in Oreo beta which is a good sign. But still. They have to give us Treble. Otherwise Google will be mad lol idk.

I think that only apllies to device that are released with Oreo, not wen released with Nougat. Even Nokia 8 doesn`t have Treble enabled.

Nokia 8 just got Official Oreo and doesn't have Treble . We'll see what Samsung gives us in the final release. But for now I feel like August Nougat is the last update Note8 will ever get.. I'm starting to feel bad for selling my S7 Edge. My friend has S7 and he already runs Oreo on it. I think even Galaxy S2 has Oreo.

I don't think that's how Treble works. The news that XDA had yesterday was that it seemed easier to port an AOSP ROM. You still need to be able to flash it, and as long as the Snapdragon bootloader remains locked, there won't be any custom ROMs for our phones.
The good news for most of us is that security and core Android updates won't be held up by the manufacturers and the carriers.

I'm glad yours is more up to date than my UK Exynos version. I bought it on launch day and had a update that day and that was it. In my opinion that's not good enough for such an expensive phone. But I'm a sucka for Samsung phones so guess I'll just get on with it.
Ps it's not tied to any carrier, so I'm waiting for a update directly from Samsung.

Yeh but im not into unlocking bootloader anymore. Reason I'm complaining mainly is that I'm way behind on security updates and my Aod is killing my battery hard, so I'm hoping an update will fix that. Otherwise the phone is working great.

[REQUEST] Treble Support

Hello All,
So this thread is dedicated to bringing treble to our note 8! The Galaxy S9 has received treble support and it's disappointing to not see it here.
What is treble?
It's basically a method of partitioning the system by separating the drivers (vendor) and the actual system. This allows for flashing of GSIs and according to current results from the S9 EVERYTHING WORKS without a hitch.
So please developers bring this to our devices and let us enjoy bugless AOSP!
Link to S9 Treble: https://www.google.ae/amp/s/forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/howto-treble-s9-t3765558/amp/
So you do realize that S9 came with treble from the factory right? The only way to bring treble to the n8 is via repartitioning the device and it can be fairly risky if you dont know what you are doing. I suggest you read some device threads that users have partitioned to treble and not a device that comes with it from the factory

To be honest note 8 just need kenrel supporting treble . We got twrp supporting treble but no kernel . There are no devs who really care about note 8 so I wouldn't expect much . But it's possible to port it
I dont think it ever will come the note 9 just got root i think if im not wrong according to to majisk amd its already partitioned for treble so basically the note 8 is toast once the father of root decided to leave thats it.!! It happened to alot of snapdragon samsungs this one will always stay on 7.1.1 with root hope this helps. Ive planned to jump in november
On my side, i don t understand why it s not possible for the note 8 when one plus 3, oneplus 5 and galaxy note 3 are in the treble update list (i ve read this list on xda). I just think sammy doesn t want to give treble for note 8 to force peoples to jump for the note 9 which is not attractive for me because the new spen features are gadget for me and the battery life will be the same (yes the spen blutooth explain a bigger battery). I think i will wait for the note 10 or the oneplus 6t (maybe it will feature a pen lol). The time will say.

I m sorry. After reading your comment, i v searched for the link and realized that i make a mistake. You re right. The note 3 is listed to receive android pie and no treble. As we know that all of the devices wich have oreo out of the box will automatically have treble and reading that some oneplus old devices will get treble, and seeing note 3 will receive android 9, i did a very speed conclusion that the note 3 will receive project treble. It s my mistake and i apologize for that. Really sorry.

No worries at all! I was just curious . Thank you for following up and confirming!
i dont know if that the same i have huawe mate 8 and i cant flash oreo rom over nougat becoz partion so when i debrand it and got oreo via ota im able to flash oreo rom and treble what i want to say oreo partions allows treble dunno about note 8! maybe?
would love to see treble for the note 8. the dev love will eventually come to the note 8 as well, it is a really popular phone and over the next year or so most "regular" users will upgrade again and the moding community ill pick up on cheap, second hand note 8's as it is an excellent phone. really wish there was an AOSP rom with absolutely no samsung bull****, even if I would have to give up a lot of features - treble would make that possible.

Haven't seen anything myself. Last I read it was being tested internally but outside of that nothing...
I would just keep checking the news sites (I use sammobile, google news and other similar sites) to see if there are any updates. If something does come out news wise it will create a lot of discussion.
It took them 6 months to get the S8's upgraded to Oreo if I remember correctly, the fact there's test builds out there for the S9+ already is a good sign it may happen in less then 6 months...

So like would you rather them work on 9.0 and get it right or waste resources on a 8.1 build that's only gonna get updated to 9.0 shortly after anyways? You make no sense whatsoever.
Well I think They'll roll pie after S10 release,Its already 6 months since the phone launched,Can't they give one incremental update ?
It would be a waste of resources for not much gain. They are already working on test 9.0 builds, I'd rather they focus their resources there.
What improvements to bluetooth audio are on 8.1? I can't find anything documents other then supporting devices will show their battery level in the BT quick tile on 8.1.
He's referring to pixel specific Bluetooth fixes in 8.1. it seems to be a common misconception with s9 users on xda and Reddit.
