don't flash gapps package downloaded from opengapps
if you guys updated this gapps and stucked in the black screen you have to odin again. then wipe data and cache in stock recovery with power+home+v+ and wait 20 seconds to enter the wipe menu. then you have to odin TWRP again (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...wrp-3-0-2-1-samsung-galaxy-a9-pro-sm-t3426701) . enter the new TWRP recovery when odin processing finished. update Gapps 800.zip and magisk.zip( if you guy want to root your phones. you can find the lastest magisk.zip on google.) and the last step is wiping Dalvik cache in TWRP recovery, reboot your phones and wait minutes. so you can see some apps are gonna be fc. don't worry. log in google play and install link2sd or every other app can uninstall system apps. so you can remove what apps be fc.

For Vietnamese People.
Những bạn nào đã cài Android 8 mà không có google apps thì đừng cài file tải từ opengapps về. Nó sẽ xuất hiện màn hình màu đen trong quá trình đăng nhập mà không có cách nào có thể dùng được.
Có nhiều bạn không biết là samsung không hoạt động với Google installer gì đó thì nhất quyết đừng tải mấy cái apk đó về cài chi cho mệt vì không thể dùng được.
Các bạn cài file mình vừa đem link ở trên bằng cách flash lại rom gốc 8.0 sau đó không cho máy khởi động lên mà nhấn tổ hợp 3 phím power + home + V+ rồi đợi 1 phút gì đó để nó vào màn hình wipe sau đó wipe data với cache. sau đó cho máy khởi động vào download mode sau đó odin tiếp file TWRP mình có dẫn link ở trên. sau khi odin xong thì các bạn lại nhấn tổ hợp power + home + V+ 1 lần nữa sau đó flash file zip Gapps 800.zip mình dẫn link ở trên. nếu thích root máy thì nhấn flash tiếp file magisk.zip ( tất cả những file này đều phải được copy vô thẻ SD card nhé.)
sau đó wipe davik cache và khởi động lại.

my phone is useless without google services
can you update your post with a detailed tutorial and all of the files are needed for everybody stuck in this step.
it would be useful

This rom installed without gapps, because no google in china. You need to install gapps from TWRP recovery after install the rom.

After a few tries, I finally installed this room with working gapps.
Thank you.
There was a error message that said unauthorized access ..., Which when I restarted the phone the room didn't start. I reinstalled every thing and disabled the logger and everything is fine now.
What was the unauthorized access? The room was official, right? Was it because of gapps or magisk?

I think it was magisk (root) You need to reinstall magisk from twrp and freeze from titaniumbackup or delete "com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity" and "com.samsung.android.securitylogagent" if you want to use root

The first time it happened I didn't installed magisk. So it must be sth else. Now I just disabled security log agent and all is well. I was just a little worried about the security of this method. Is it safe?

So twrp. And it is really unsafe, since all files are not encrypted, the password from the phone is reset by several actions on the TWRP. Although there are some ways to make it more secure, but I'm not messing about it. The phone itself should work fine, as this is just a warning about security issues.

Try to hide root in magisk or make clean install without it

Hide didnt work out. Also with a Chinese phone you would need root to remove all that apps and stuff. I have found another way, I will test.

There are all these Chinese characters scattered in every corner of the phone. Do you have any idea how to remove them?
Or remove the yellow pages?
Is there any list of bloatwares on this phone?
