Flash custom ROM
Video with links to files, and other hopefully useful info. FOR A SOLUTION!
I had a really long post with useful info containing an answer maybe not "the answer" Wanted me to instead post a comment.. Below are the instructions on how to do it according to a Youtube Video I found. While I haven't tried this method, It looks sound to me, they've included all the files needed in a link to MEGA. I'll re-share without the password / decryption key if the poster agrees only.. I do highly suggest Phoenix ROM if you're on a kltevze, it come included with eveyrthing you're looking for and I've used it before In fact, I tried it last night but was unable to get into my phone past the boot password screen I think because the system ui kept crashing. while I have used this version, I may try twelve, since I prefer AOSP or LOS based roms, I want as light as possible maybe even removing google and going with MICRO G which I used fairly successfully for over a month, It isn't perfect, sometimes the location addon apps crash, but there are many, and it may just be that the ones I was using crashed, and not the ones you need yourself.. But MICRO G is worth the piece of mind to me coming from an encrypted phone, No I have nothing to hide really but Alphabet/Google already know enough about me through the use of their "FREE and Very Handy I might add, Services Ahem) By the way, Phoenix can be used with either an unlocked bootloader or safestrap if not.. Just get the right one.. I may end up going with a rooted deodexed TW rom, and add xposed to get the features I love from RR and other LOS based ROMS. With further ado, heres the link to the youtube instructional video I found, I really wish it was written out or could simple installed as a flashable zip which shouldn't be hard to make, but it is what it is for now.. And again seems correct to me if you don't want o go with a custom rom like Phoenix for kltevzw.
Well upon testing the Youtube link didn't play so here it is both Title for searching and another link. Install Galaxy S7 Touchwiz on S5! (Marshmallow) /URL]

I used Heimdal to flash to a more recent factory TW before flashing Phoenix which requires at least PB1. I think. Check their OP under user JKRUSE or near the top of the VZE dev thread.
This is Heimdal as found in synaptic from a buntu based distroand should be the same in any Debian based or any other distro for that matter as I've found it in many repos for different distro's, I think a ppa is available with newer builds, but don't hold me to that.
Heimdall <- commandline version.
Heimdall is a tool for flashing firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S
devices over a USB connection. It accomplishes this using the same
protocol as Odin, Samsung's internal Windows-only firmware updater.

And of course there's a GUI too.. heimdall-flash (1.4.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium
This package includes a Qt-based frontend for managing Galaxy devices.

If I do either agian soon, I'll report back with results. Again, I know Phoenix worked fine. But I'd imagine a plain TW rooted ROM that you debloat yourself and maybe add Xposed for many features found in Phoenix and in AOSP/LOS based ROM's such as RR/CR-DROID for those who prefer additional tweaking and other enhancements. Again I trouble just last night with the latest V15 of Phoenix on boot and don't know why other than my fully ecnypted device and password on boot feature But either way again if you test before me let me know the result as well. I do need a new battery for mine since it's the one it came with but that's a story for another thread, when I bought my S5 last spring for beans, (with the unlockable BL, I had to have it since my S3 had died. and I couldn't afford a new phone) and I could easily get a day plus when service is good with about 4+ hours SOT. But lately I'm using charging by the end of the day. Haven't decided yet on a stock Sammy battery or a more expesive, Thicker, heavier, but much longer lasting extended battery.
Sorry for such a long winded post. All my posts are this way if you know me. I do apologize and need to be more brief but I'm more of a lurker and searcher for what I need to know and post very seldom especially with this much what I think could be useful to someone.
If it happens to be useful please hit the "Thankss" button, it could help here, and even when looking for a job as I am... Hahahaha.. Getting laid off work blows in my area of the country.
Thanks and Happy New Year to all those who celebrate it during this time of year, if not Happy New Year when it arrives and I wish the best for everyone on the Planet. Stay informed and don't believe everything you read/hear/watch... #NoAgenda #ITM.

As seen on Sammobile :
"The leaked OTA requires the device to be on firmware version N950USQS2BQK2, which is the latest official build and only available for unlocked Note 8 units on Verizon at this point. However, to get around that limitation, any unlocked Note 8 owner can get the N950USQS2BQK2 firmware on their device by following the upgrade path suggested by the Reddit user. Also, this is only for the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy Note 8 in the US, if that wasn’t clear already."
"Naturally, we don’t support flashing unofficial software unless it comes directly from Samsung as part of a beta test program, so you’re on your own and would require some knowledge of flashing firmware (both via a PC and through the phone’s recovery mode) if you decide to try this out. What we can suggest is looking at a few step-by-step guides that seem to be making the rounds online with directions for installing the leaked Oreo build.
We would also suggest making a proper backup of your Note 8 via Samsung Smart Switch (or any of your favorite backup apps) before trying the test Oreo firmware, as you may have to wipe all your phone’s data (including images and other files on the internal storage). And, if you do install it, let us know how it works! To see what features Oreo is bringing to the Galaxy S8, check out our exhaustive What’s New With Android 8.0 Oreo series, which should apply to the Note 8 as well."
GREAT NEWS!!!

Android Oreo OTA (this is real)
"Hey, Here is a link to the Android Oreo OTA
https://samsung.firmware.science/download?url=48993/1488/SS-N950USQS2BQK2-to-U2CQL1-UP https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xTtsn6gcg4JEX2dYKPiXTWVhPiGPzIBn/view?usp=drivesdk
Before you can do this build you will need to be on 2BQK2, so to get to that you need this build: https://samsung.firmware.science/download?url=48993/1488/SS-N950USQU2BQJA-to-S2BQK2-UP
ODIN for BQK2: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=19gW_CxUf2HdL4UYyxTkyOnBY8cluRIVS&export=download
this file for BQJA is on SamMobile, SamFirm, and Updato. These are OTA updates besides the flashing required in that.
I currently have an S8 on the Oreo beta and will be buying a Note8 this weekend because of this. I AM SO EXCITED!
Oh just a side note, this may be unstable and crash, you have been warned."
SOURCE
Hopefully Exynos Oreo will get leaked too ?.
If anyone tried it already, how is it? Any new features?
I tried this. I get errors on the oreo update. I just odined the AP, CSC, and CP so i take it i need to odin BL rest to get this to work. I'm a little hesitant because of having an unlocked phone so if a unlock BL exploit comes I don't want the inability to odin back to unlocked BL. Not sure if it's possible or if it increments

Title says for unlocked...the unlocked device is SM-N950U1 and this leak is the AT&T leak...correct?
Not to mention there is already a thread
Thread closed.
There is already a topic for this here
Good afternoon,
I'm completely new to Android, I came from iOS 3 weeks ago.
I know with iPhone's you can jailbreak, and I've only just discovered custom ROMs for Android.
I have a Samsung S9+ (UK, so it'll be exynos) - Model: SM-G965F and running: One UI Version 1.0 and Android Version 9. I also have the latest security patch: 1 April 2019.
I've heard of Custom ROM's Resurrection Remix and Pixel Experience.
Because I have the latest OS, is it possible to flash a custom ROM on my S9+? or is it too new?
If I can, do you have any custom ROMs you'd recommend I try out? I like the gestures of OxygenOS, and I prefer Google Apps over Samsung Apps.
I've been reading the forums, and watching videos. But any guides you have to install a ROM, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks for your help!
TGP (The Galaxy Project)
I have used TGP ROM's and kernels on several devices over the years and have never had any issues. The developer is always floating around should anyone need any help with anything and battery life is always amazing.
It's the first thing I did after coming from an S7E to the S9+ a no brainer...
1. Download Odin and Samsung USB drivers for your PC.
2. Unlock bootloader.
2a. Reboot into download mode.
3. Download latest TWRP, flash that sucker into your phone.
(Congratulations, you've just voided your warranty if you care about that)
Welcome to the smart side.
From there, you've got a smorgasbord of ROMs, Kernels, etc, to choose from to customise to your heart's content.
Enjoy!
(fwiw, I'm running (rooted) Light ROM, with white wolf kernel. And love it - and the nearly 36 hour gap between charges)
Sorry if this has been asked but I looked through and didn't see any LG based PIE ROMS.
Are there any about?
I've tried all the usual PIE ROMS (Lineage, DOT, HAVOC etc). Just fancy trying an LG Based Custom ROM without going back to complete stock.
Thanks,
Ross

Well, first LG has to release Pie. I'm only half-joking.
EU H930 30a failed as Release Candidate and EU H93030b became the first official EU H930 Pie release for that variant. Then H930 30b was pulled from LG's servers due to RAM management complaints. A new, improved version supposedly released among Korean carrier variants. Australia H930DS got Pie less than a month ago, but don't think it's new, improved one. No North American variants have received Pie yet.
So, everyone is sort of in limbo.
Back during early Nougat and early Oreo there were a couple of stock-based ROMs. WETA US998 ROM by @Mentalmuso and BOOMBOX by @Whiskeyomega (which achieved cult status with audiophiles). Both departed the scene about a year ago. WETA Nougat was a favorite of many, but the Oreo version was never really finished. Link was posted unofficially just to show progress, but dev then said he was moving on to other things. Boombox Oreo was never updated past August 2018 -- whereas in the 12 months since then LG has given us DTS 3D stereo libs in stock Oreo updates and major camera improvements.

COMMENTARY
Stock ROMs are few and far between for two reasons:
1) unlike the old days, current LG firmware doesn't need much improvement (at least Oreo). It's very stable, fast, fluid. Great battery life.
Don't like the look?
Install Nova launcher with cube rotation, your choice of icon packs, your own wallpaper.
Want some mods?
* Install Anxious V30 Magisk mod. (Still for Oreo right now. The dev may develop for Pie when it's ever released for her North American carrier. I'm still on stock, rooted Oreo so that's perfectly fine.)
Enables:
All Lockscreen Weather Animations, Anxious Kernel Script, Custom/V50 App Profiles, DTS:X 3D Surround, Dual Speaker for North American Variants, Falsified Advanced DAC Mode (a.k.a. Forced HIM, but well done), G7/V40/V50 Camera Features (Updated Camera App, Updated Gallery App, Google Lens, Super Bright Mode, Updated AI & Filter Data), Google Phone (stable), Google Sans, JoyPixels 5.0, LG Equalizer Settings (w/ Custom EQ), Pixel Roboto & Various Other Fonts, Pixel WiFi Mod, Razer Phone 2 Nova Launcher, US GPS Config, YouTube Vanced (Black);

Think there's some bloatware you don't need?
Install Titanium Backup, and freeze whatever you don't like. (US998 has almost no bloatware to begin with. I froze Twitter and maybe one other app.)
2) Because of #1, most devs don't like to spend time on stock ROMs. @Whiskeyomega developed some audio mods (which he posted as standalone mods in Themes/Apps section), and then his Boombox ROM was mostly giving users their choice of which audio mods to install (which anyone could themselves on stock from this standalone mods) and some other tweaks/debloating. It was basically his personal version of stock ROM, which anyone can do themselves. See point #1 again and all the stuff you can do yourself, which includes audio mods.
MOST devs who create full blown ROMs want to do BIGGER things than merely tweak/debloat already-debloated stock firmware. So, they go to AOSP/Lineage ROMs. (I'm not including public service ROMs like the stock-based TWRP flashable zips. Those have some build prop tweaks, but are mainly KDZ rebuilt as a ROM -- which we all APPRECIATE GREATLY!)
Once stock Pie is released widely, most ROM devs will move on to Android 10 (Q) ROMs. Because they will want to do something not yet done.

Suppose that all makes sense.
I'm currently running Lineage and have no complaints...
I just sort of fancied trying the LG software again if it was out for PIE and someone may have had a rooted ROM that allows changing the navigation, status bar etc

I'm running rooted stock firmware with no complaints. I changed status bar icons with Xposed mods (including Gravity Box and Xstana), I'm running Nova launcher with my choice of icons, Anxious V30 mod and other stuff.
Agreed, mod rom can be replace by xposed and stuff. What we lack is a back port rom from newer model like v50. (Like what we see on older s series have backport rom from newe one)
Hey guys. I know maybe some of you guys already did that years ago and that I am pretty late with it right now but I havent seen a thread where this was mentioned in (maybe I was just too lazy to look everywhere) but I recently made a video on how to get the Samsung Experience 8.1 Features on the S6/edge without any root or custom rom. Originally, we only got Experience 8.0, according to Wikipedia, however it isnt even mentioned in the Device Info page (if you ask me, they should have waited a few more weeks and should have given us Android 7.1.1 directly like the J5 2016 or SE 8.1 with 7.0 like the S5 Neo).
However, thanks to API 24 / Android 7.0, we are able to get nearly 80% of the Samsung Experience 8.1 Features, by updating the stock apps and TouchWiz Launcher manually. We can even get Bixby Home with that method. Things you will not be able to change are the general look of the UI (Lockscreen, Settings, QuickPanel), however you can install AOD Display, which will then be shown in the Settings. S6 edge+/Note 5 users will also benefit more from this, as they already got some S8 functions inside their firmware like changing Screen resolution or being able to activate Boostmode. The tutorial should be applicable to every Samsung device that runs Android 7.0 (A-2016 series/J-2016 series)

No. Please only use the versions I linked in the video. If you install a more recent version of TouchWiz/Bixby, they might start to crash. You can try though
