project treble - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I own a 5t and don't plan on buying the s9. But I'm really interested. Imo Samsung have the best hardware and google have the best software.
So in really interested to see if full treble support I'd present and if aosp roms can boot on the s9. Samsung hardware with stock android. ❤

I assume it should be possible since any phone that releases with Oreo should support Project Treble.

"Lastly, a word on something I’m sure many of you are interested in: Project Treble. Yes, the Galaxy S9/S9+ ship with Project Treble compatibility out of the box (those lucky few who get the device first can confirm this by following our guide)"

Not much changes... If you have a SnapDragon device, having Treble support doesn't mean it comes with an unlocked bootloader. If you have Exynos, those have had custom ROM's and unlocked bootloaders anyway.

My exynos s8 has exactly 0 usable aosp/lineage-based ROMs. Sure there are custom roms but they are all based on samsung's software. For the s6/7 which are 2-3 year old devices there are now more or less fully working custom roms but this time we might actually get fully working custom ROMs while the phone is still relevant

It has already been stated that it wont mean anything more then running aosp on the device. You still lose all the extras from the OEM software. Treble changes nothing in the aosp world when it comes to devices. Camera, sound, wifi ect quality will still be the same as it has always been.

Google said it won't license its play services to manufacturers shipping Oreo on their devices unless they support project treble. To support project treble, the device must be able to boot a complete stock image of AOSP, so most probably we will be able to have AOSP bootable on S9s.
However, my main concern is whether AOSP can support the unique features of the S9–the variable aperture of the camera, the 960 slow-mo, iris scanner, and so on. If it can't then we'd be losing out some features of the S9. So my main question is will we lose out on features like the variable aperture and the 960 slow-mo as well @zelendel ?

Huawei Mate 10 and Honor View 10 come with treble support and while previously there had only been limited availability of ROMs to flash for Huawei phones things have changed considerably. One can now flash AOSP, several modified versions of AOSP (such as CarbonROM) and in addition Lineage has also been ported over (including Resurrection Remix). So in theory, the s9 should be able to boot up any one of them. The main issue for these phones seems to be camera quality which suffers if using third party apps. Nevertheless, the Huawei camera app has been "copied" over and can run on some of these treble based ROMs. Volte is another unsolved issue for time being. Samsung phones have a much larger developer base so I guess many of these aspects might eventually get solved.

So unless we're able to port Samsung's camera app, we won't have the variable aperture and 960 slow-mo?

Even without a good camera quality, the camera will works. It's just custom rom, in a lot of phones the custom rom injury the camera quality, but to have an aosp that work like it should it's awesome, i never had a good one on s6, and generally developers take a lot of time to boot an aosp on samsung devices and some years before it works good.

Most of xda comunity are flashaolics, so for me have an aosp even with a poor camera it's not a big deal, i can return on a stock backup from recovery whenever i want or if it will be possible, a dual boot.

Pretty much yes. It won't be any different then running an aosp build on any old Samsung device. Meaning you lose all of the extra features the oems built in.

Which means nothing when talking about the topic of losing features. To be honest. If I was sure I was gonna run aosp, I would jot be buying a Samsung device to do it. You pay all the extra for the features. Without them you might as well buy some budget device.

All the new features are related to camera and for example for Huawei they ported stock Huawei camera to aosp thanks to treble. It is not impossibile that it would happen for s9

Find 7 and questions about Oppo phones?

why on earth did they not launch this phone with Kitkat?
anyway I have a question regarding Oppo's software support, is it good? will they quickly update Find 7 to Kitkat? I have heard that Oppo's software are rather somewhat unreliable, is it true?
about Color OS, is it good? is it full of bloatwares or not? how deep is the customization?
will Find 7 have official Cyanogenmod support? how about other custom ROMs?
thanks for answering!
Oppo listen very much to their user base and they will update it to KitKat. You can flash other roms to Oppo using their stock recovery, they're partnered with CyanogenMod so Cm roms should run well on their devices.
As for other custom roms, it depended on if the Dev want to develop for it or not, if you purchase a Find 7 for them, they probably will. Hint: Take a look at the Find 5 and N1 development section.

The oppo stock recovery flashes CM. OPPO are developer friendly,they even got OMNI Mediatek sources for the R819 (not an easy feat Mediatek are NOT willing)
They did not launch with kitkat because they are still adding features (ColorOS 2.0). They do that. If you are concerned about latest android version get on a custom rom like CM from the start,because OPPO don't move up the Android version until the previous ROM is stable enough to discontinue. The ROM itself is quite nice for a manufacturer skin,not bloated at all,and has some nice features built in you really miss if you go custom,but some people just hate the colorfulness so to each their own.

CM will probably have builds out within a month of release...
My concern with running CM on this phone is, will it lose features? Like the 50MP super zoom mode?
Yes you'll most likely lose SuperZoom and Maxxaudio with any AOSP ROM. You'd need stock based for that.

what? but didn't n1 retain it's features with cyanogen?
and can't you just install specific phones apps to get it's features?
Yes, because CM built the phone with OPPO,far as I know,they're making the OnePlus One ATM. So yeah, it'll be like on Find 5 most likely.

I haven't heard any news regarding a Cyngn partnership for the Find 7.
Remember, after last year's events, when talking about CM, there are really two different entities which are semi-connected:
CM - the original CyanogenMod open source software project. The Find5 was originally maintained by community members who were solely involved on this side of things. All of that team left for Omni as a result of the Focal relicensing fiasco (This is why the Find5 never saw official CM10.2)
Cyanogen Inc - Referred to from here on in this post as "Cyngn" - The corporate entity created by some of the Cyanogenmod leads
Cyngn was partnered with Oppo for the N1 so that Cyngn could gain experience with taking a device through GMS (Google Apps) certification. There has been little to no CM community involvement with the N1 - it's a purely Cyngn affair. All community efforts on the device are focused on other projects (Oppo sent preproduction N1s to people involved with CodefireXperiment, Omni, Paranoid Android, and a few others)
Cyngn is currently partnered with OnePlus to focus on their launch device. They aren't even putting much effort into the N1 now if you read any of the user reviews. (Both official 10.2 updates are full of bugs, and CM11 has had broken location services for two months now with not a single word from the development team.)
So the support of the Find7 by CyanogenMod is unknown and indeterminate. It will likely involve community effort if it happens, but all "community" contributors with current Oppo devices are working on other projects. Omni support is HIGHLY likely, I would not be surprised if, like the Find5 and N1, it proves to be one of Omni's best supported devices. CodefireXperiment and PA support are also highly likely (Actually I'd say pretty much guaranteed in the case of CFX, Oppo and Anders get along as well as the Omni team gets along with Oppo). (While PA usually focuses on Nexus devices, there usually have been exceptions for Oppos due to Oppo providing excellent support to Aaron from PA.)
Its the best phone out without a doubt right now .. Might even beat all new HTC one .. It's a no compromise phone .. Except speakers idk if they are good or bad .. Also you can choose your own software oppo skin or cm(later) and paranoidandroid. I'm very impressed .
returning to the color os talk, do you think it will be a long time before oppo move to kitkat based color os?
and as I asked before, is it true regarding color os instability and incompatibility with common android apps?
and I'm glad if Paranoid Android will indeed come to Find 7!

About the apps yeah,there was a thing about Lightflow not working,but its usually a one app thing,especially if it works by identifying the phone,mostly coz OPPO is so unique. As a plus ANY Chinese app works without a hitch when they give other manufacturers incompatibility issues
Omni is confirmed,Maxwen is getting a Find 7.
Unless i'm wrong ColorOS 2.0 should be kitkat.

Well I would consider the battery a moderate compromise. 3k mah is not really sufficient for a 5.5" 2k screen. I was really hoping for 3500mah or more.
I'm wondering how the screen compares to the Note 3 OLED screen. The Note 3 has an extra .02", extra 200mah, but Samsungs OLED's aren't as efficient as SLCD's.
The batt life is the defining factor here for me and I would assume a great many others. If HTC can deliver on this, they'll take a good few percent of the upgrade market. Damn Sony for not bringing their Z2 to the US. It would dominate the tech-savvy market completely.
last time I heard the screen use new low power tech so let's wait for a review first before calling the battery is a flop.

likely not but during the unveiling they used a find 7 to output audio using huge cable, maybe it was just a huge stereo cable though.
I heard the lower-end version Oppo Find 7a is better than Oppo Find 7 in many sectors, like screen, performance, etc. I really hope that Oppo equips this phone with that brilliant touch-less voice command just like on Moto X. It's gonna be really awesome for this phone. In fact, i think all of the new phones in 2014 should also have this feature. I mean, the real touch-less voice control when the phone is still locked. Unlike Google Nexus 5's "Ok Google" voice control that can only be used when the phone has been unlocked.

AOSP roms for G3 - how stable will they be?

I have asked this question elsewhere but didn't get an answer so I'm trying here.
I've had 3 generations of Samsungs and I really want to switch to something different, possibly the LG G3. What would really convince me is if I could reasonably anticipate a rock solid AOSP ROM for it at some point in the future. I'm sick of Samsungs bulky and laggy Touchwiz, and I've fallen in love with the pure Google experience that AOSP roms offer; but while they work OK on the Samsung, they suffer from a drop in quality and performance because I am told Samsung drivers are not open source and they have to use open source alternatives.
I've noticed that LG have an open source code distribution page with software for phones on it. Now I'm no developer, so the question I am asking is - do LG release their code open source? And does this mean that original developers are able to drive the LG hardware properly? What were AOSP roms like for the G2?

Thanks for the reply. I found one or two aosp builds for my Galaxy S3 that I would describe as 'stable' in that they don't crash or lock up - but the audio quality using an open source driver is noticeably poorer, and that affects using the phone, audio messages, music playback, and video recording/playback - to the point that it just wasn't acceptable to me. My camera would always crash on aosp roms too.
So I'm still interested to know if original developers have access to the source code for for the G3 hardware - because if I'm paying for a 13mp laser guided camera, I want it to still function as it should under any rom I put on it!

I was also wondering about this. On the Htc one xl the aosp camera was significantly worse than the sense one.
Is there any way to know if when the g3 gets aosp there will be any driver issues? The g3 on paper seems absolutely fantastic but the possibility of no aosp or aosp with less functionality is terrifying to me.
I wish there was a GPE version of the G3.

I THINK a lot of code is shared from these manufacturers but camera stuff may not be on that list . Just got the LG G3 yesterday and i don't like it at all besides the camera , finding it kinda laggy in comparison to N5 ( if u use the resents button a lot u'll notice ) and its not the same build quality as my G2 , feels cheaper to me . I'm a fan of AOSP, all my devices have some form of it, this G3 may be going back to the store for a new M8 its pretty easy convert to full GPE . and i love my M7

They don't exist yet. From what I understand the boot loader hasn't even been unlocked yet. I guess there are people working on it tho. As far as where you can find the builds, they'll be here on XDA, either in the Android Development section of this G3 forum, or in the carrier specific G3 sections (which have yet to be created).
Never mind, I guess they just created the carrier threads.....

How does having the released mi5s kernel help in the camera department?

Hi.
I'm using EU MIUI 7.3.30 and it's not bad, but I would much prefer using a non-MIUI ROM such a LineageOS.
However, all the AOSP variants using the stock kernel (LOS,RR...) until now have had mediocre to faulty camera implementations and I've tested many camera apps at that - Piximod mark IV, stock LOS, stock RR, Google camera, a better camera, open camera, manual camera... None of them are able to hold a candle to the stock camera app under MIUI in terms of having everything (video,RAW,HDR,panorama...) working flawlessly under one app.
I'm not even sure if this will change now that we have the released kernel for the mi5s, so please help me understand the following:
1. Does having the released kernel potentially help in getting a better camera experience under LOS, RR or a similar ROM versus using the stock kernel from MIUI? How so?
2. Does having the released kernel potentially help in porting the stock MIUI camera app under LOS/RR?
3. Does having the released kernel potentially help in getting a *better* camera implementation than currently under stock camera app MIUI by better utilizing the camera2API (from my understanding the stock camera app in MIUI doesn't use V2 of the camera API)?
4. Does having the released kernel potentially allow one to port the Pixel camera app?
Thanks all
I think you should create this thread into the Question & Answer Section.
But for your question regarding the kernels and implementation for los / rr, yes indeed it'll help for dev to use new released kernel from xiaomi, since the kernel is made specifically for mi5s hardware optimization and function.
Yes and yes, the bottom line is the kernel will give us huge advantage rather than use stock kernel like we use right now if we use los / rr, for the camera of course there will be some improvements, not only the camera, fingerprint, ambient display, multi touch, etc will improve.
As far as I understand the source doesnt contain every information.
Open source sounds cool yeah. But take Amazons FireTV as an example. There is a source code available because of GPL, however they only share the source of the stuff they have to share and nothing else. So source doesnt mean, the source code of everything.
As a better example you can take the Google Pixel. You would expect that the VERY Android device itself should have source code of everything available. Like the Google Camera Software and algorithm that could be used for the Mi5S since both share the same Sony Sensor. Sounds awesome right? Sadly Google, doesn't share this particular piece of source code/drivers.
And when I talked with LuK about source, he was not very optimistic. It is because the Qualcomm Fingerprint reader is also closed. Which is why he said "Qfp will still be a mess"
So.. Long story short. It will still be a custom rom with its disadvantages. But I believe that it will contribute a lot in terms of stability. Phone calling , no force closes and sudden reboots.
I mean after all these years on xda , everyone should already got used to "everything works. Stable build. not working : camera etc"
This will not change I think. In fact it will get more complicated and the list of troublesome things will get longer as phones get more and more features with closed source. Fingerprint reader is such a thing for instance. and More advanced sensors in the future etc..
So there are two options:
1) Either you stick with your current phone and try to make it work and live with its downsides. Maybe after 3 to 5 years, almost everything will be supported or maybe not. Although by then the phone will most likely be obsolete and any 100$ phone will beat it.
Go back 5 years. Would you still bother with a Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3?
2) Just get a phone that has proper company support from the start and use the phone at its full potential right away. Like the Google Pixel. However it costs more. So you have to weigh the Pros and Cons. Do you want to spend more money or more time and headaches. Everyone has to make a decision there.
As for me: I know that I drop and break expensive stuff. So I buy cheap phones. xD

Worth to buy an S9 to use LOS?

Hi all! It's time to change my old Nexus 5 and I'm looking to buy an OP6 or a S9 due to its smaller dimensions.
Thing is I don't like Samsung's personalizations as I heard it slows down very quickly.
Here in Italy I could get an used S9 for 400€. Is it worth to get it with the specific intent of using it only with LineageOS? How does it perform and what am I going to miss from stock android?
Thank you!

Performance wise, S9 performs really well upto this point. I got it since launch and there were only minor drawbacks in the launcher, which were easily removed by installing pixel launcher, and now everything feels smooth. I dont think there is a need for using LOS rom just for speed because you'll lose the great features of samsung.

The features from your camera, I dont think gcam camera is any better than samsung stock. You would also lose any Knox related apps such as secure folder, samsung pass, etc. For me, I dont think there is a need to root now, atleast when it is still receiving software updates .

No you don't. Samsung's proprietary image libraries and enhancements are better than any gcam port will achieve.
Not saying gcam is bad but stock is quite a bit better on Samsung Experience compared to gcam.
also to OP: Note you probably won't be able to use the variable apeture OR the iris scanner to unlock your phone. Also as much of a meme as it is VoLTE also isn't supported on LOS.

Yeah, pretty much. Even inside the GCam thread for the s9 there are plenty of people saying it's not as good as stock. It's one of the reasons why I haven't jumped ship from Samsung Experience yet.
Also, more vibrant color != better photos. They might LOOK better but what I look for in a smartphone camera is color accuracy. If you like saturated hdr+ overblown shots so be it, to each their own.
When i bought the S8, I was hoping that the dev comunity could after some month port an AOSP rom on it but nothing stable really happend. It's a shame because I always prefered stock roms. Then the s9 came with de Treble project and this was for me the best feature that could ever been done.
You have everything that you could wish :
- Sweet design of the galaxy serie with the infinit display and for me the most beautifull overall body design (without the f*****g notch)
- Very great battery life (it easily last the day without have to charge during the day)
- The best performances, smoothness.
- No bugs at all
I always said that the galaxy series had the most complete phones in the market. But TouchWizz was the point where i always been frustrated about. With LOS, i'm ready to say that the S9 is probably the best phone you can get on the market.
Btw, don't worry about the camera's quality. It's still good even whitout samsung's camera framework.
Peace !

The GCam Im talking about is the one from gapps, not the gcam ported from pixel 2 which has HDR+ capability. I agree GCam with hdr+ is superior when it comes to contrast and details, but you dont get it when you are in LOS. That's what Im referring to.

Can someone port One ui 3.0 for Samsung S7 (Exynos)?

Hey, I am waiting for one ui 3.0 for so long. Is there anyone who can port it for S7.
Your work would be appreciated and I will promote the Rom too on my YouTube channel.
Short answer, no.
Long answer, absolutely not.
The best option for you is to wait for someone to create a one ui 3 rom. Impatient? Do It Yourself.
Unless you get a newer device that supports one ui 3.

Too hash bro. Even j7 got one ui 3.0 android r. Hw cant s7 ,which can perform far more better than j7 cant get a ported one ui 3.0 dude. Too rush in giving answer to this guy who just asked a great question. The developers of roms surely will port for s7. It will be disgraceful if even j7 can perform one ui 3.0 where else s7 cant? This even doesnt make sense dude. Never rush in giving answer. Son

S7 needs stable ROM with every feature working, who cares if a OneUI 99 port exist, if it crashes, and/or is missing features ?
To this day, I'm still using ALEXNDR (port of the official ROM on OneUI 1.0/Android 8.0) because it's the only bug-free and feature-complete ROM, every other ROMs have issues and is missing features.

Look dude, im on floyd v5 android 10 works fine like a stock rom on s7. So basin on your point, you suppose s21ultra hwc should all work on s7? Really. you r really funny. You cant have all for it. S21ultra hardware vs s7 hardware. Really? All that matter is one ui 3x android r on your s7 thats all. The rest is limited for the device to work around with it

What's the point of having OneUI 3 if you're missing essential features ?
Do you fingerprint scanner works in third-party applications like PayPal ? Nope.
And no amount of stupid smiley will change this simple fact.
And this is juste one of the many issues in Floyd, see here: https://github.com/ananjaser1211/FloydQ_Reports/issues

Dude nobody cares for your PayPal and fingerprint. If it doesn't work out for you, someone prefer the rom to be working on s7. If One ui1000 is gonna come, s7 is gonna run well on it and even you will be the first person to download it. Talking boy,so keep yourself steady and watch it how things go.

Children want the latest version, adults want a fully functional phone, and not having the FP sensor working in 3rd party apps is a deal breaker for a lot of people, it's a pity you can't understand that.

It is known that Android OS is based on a modified version of the Linux Kernel to support mobile phones and tablets and other Android-capable devices, and it is also well-known that when OEMs release a new device, they begin their first state of dropping software support for their previous device.
Custom ROMs are Android ROMs made be either a solo developer, or core developers (and maybe even by you) out of passion, and thus completely free, they can extend it with as many features as the device can handle, in addition to the latest OS and security patches.
Sometimes, a developer might face a hard time trying to fix a bug, it might take months to fix, he might even decide to live with it, why? because he's doing this out of passion! Here on XDA, ROMs are posted along with it's sources, if you think the developer is a low-level programmer, you're free to show us your abilities.
Custom ROMs were not meant to be ultra-stable out-of-the-box, they were meant to witness it's own development.
I want one ui 3 too because of it's ui design
Look be happy with floyd Q no one is going to be spending time trying to port and then fix a one ui 3.0 base for the S7 devs like ananjaser are not going to try to fix one ui 3.0 alot of work would be needed anyway
