Need Help ... Downgrading - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi ...
I have a galaxy note 8 (N950F/DS). It recently got updated to One UI(Pie) 9.0 and i have been using it for almost 2 weeks now. As much as i love some of the new features. I hate the ugly icons and too much rounded everything, plus they've removed some very useful features and customization is very limited. So I am looking to downgrade to oreo which i loved everything about. But the problem is when i select my region it shows like a ton of firmware options and now i am getting confused as to which firmware to use, i'll attach a screenshot below. I know i have to stay with bootloader v5 but i have a dual sim phone does software control dual sim features or is it the same in every firmware ? Also i can't remember the firmware build of oreo that i had, is there a way to find that out ??
Thanks

Use the last oreo build 5CSA1. Backup first as you'll need to factory reset or use the csc file (which will delete data!)
Before you do that try Good Lock out and you know you can change icons through Samsung theme store?
edit:
Oh there is no separate firmware for n950F/DS and N950F. They are the same firmware.

Thanks for your reply.
Can you please tell what will be the difference in all these builds ?? i vaguely remember that maybe i had the CRJ1 build.
I know about the theme store but i in general much preferred the samsung experience aesthetics and also some features that were removed i might jump back if this UI is improved going ahead.

Not a true port but @TEKHD is incorporating S6 into his rom and I posted the corrected S6 images that can be used for COD6 or anyone's themes.
TEKXodus N4 URv3.3

S6 Corrected Images
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/themes-apps/corrected-s6-images-themes-infused-t3130888
And how can I flash the corrected s6 imagines onto my current rom which is tekk HD rom?

I believe he will be using them on the next update but since I am on his rom as well, let me know which mod version you are using and I will give you the file with the updated images. As in just stock or one of the mods like TEKXodus_URv3.3_N4_No_Traffic_SystemUI_TEKHD or TEKXodus_URv3.3_N4_No_Traffic_No_Clock_SystemUI_TEKHD.
Keep in mind that for the moment they are the stock green and not the themed versions as you see in his rom.
I'm using texkodus n4 ur vrs 3.3 multiedition

So just stock as the rom is installed with no mods used then. I will make that version and give it to you shortly.
Oh ok thank you much curious what will change on the rom I'm on with this s6 system ui zip? ?

If you meant you flashed the L-TEKXodus_URv3.3_S6_TW_SwitchON launcher mod then that is fine, this won't effect that.
I just sent you a PM with the file and instructions.

Yep, links were updated. We pulled the original links down temporarily but rehosted them shortly thereafter. The very top link (the latest) should work. If it doesn't you can pm me.

Obviously I can't link directly but all the links have been updated. The ones that were dead have been fixed
Oh ok well I highly appreciate that because I think this is awesome rom and was upset when u said they were taking it down only issue is ocassional lag on lockscreen and thru screens but other then that it's good
Do you think there is anyway possible to get rid of the lag on the s6 port rom for my tmobile note 4??

It's still a very new port (basically a beta). I did not have any lag going from the v1 to the v2 but going from a note 4 rom to the s6 port I did, so you could try doing that. An alternate kernel helps too.
I promise we are fully aware of it and are working on it. We're still trying to pinpoint what is causing the lag (as it happens in the launcher & opening apps)... I'm thinking it has to do with the missing x64 files we can't incorporate. Or maybe there's something we're overlooking. Either way we are working on it... but there are ways to reduce it, as I said. It's a beautiful rom and we want to see it grow & improve. I'm sorry I don't have a quick & dirty fix for you buy I hope that helps explain where we are in terms of development.

Questions and Issues

Hello !
I have some question, hope that you can help me.
1. I want to install the Xposed module but i want to knw if it's stable on the Mi Mix ROM.
I'm asking that because i came from a Xperia Z Ultra and the Xposed module wasn't that stable...
2. I want to change of ROM, how can i perform a clean install and kepp my actual apps, is there a way ?
ANNEXE : I encounter some issue on my Xiaomi eu ROM, hope you can help me to find something
Here is my problem :
1 - The first one is my fingerprint sensors works 1/2 on the lockscreen, it's like that since the stable update of the 14 jun 2017. You need to know that the fingerprint sensor works well for unlocking app and else..
2 - The research function doesn't work at all, I have an error (cf : video). whatever the choices that i make the problem will still the same...
Can you please help me ??
Best Regards,
LordBli
Sorry, I wish I could help. I to want to root my device so that I can flash custom roms too, but I've all but given up on that. I don't know why you mean though, when it comes to your second question -
"The research function doesn't work at all, I have an error (cf : video). whatever the choices that i make the problem will still the same..."
Xposed works great on MIUI 8 (8.5) (Android 6)
If u want keep MIUI or change ROM to pure android :
Universal method >
1 - Titanium backup 'but need some permissions for MIUI to works and need confirm manually for each apps who will be restored (MIUI and AOSP/LOS)
MIUI specific >
2 - MIUI integrate a similar function in backup/restore item in settings under factory reset (work like a charm too and no action is required > MIUI only)
Both store backuped elements in internal storage then u can easily clone it on ur desktop !!!

First of all you have to unlock your bootloader then flash your recovery, here is a link that might help you : http://en.miui.com/thread-424221-1-1.html

Settings » Installed apps » All(tab) » Search » App permissions; give these permissions(if did not). Besides; some themes have ability to disable the 'Search' feature on notification panel. Just saying.

Without additional information, it's quite difficult to assist.
Firstly, you came from the Z Ultra. I too purchased the Mi Mix to replace my Z Ultra, with its stock firmware being stuck on MM and the aftermarket support not being brilliant the Mix was a suitable choice. However I had no issue with Xposed on my Z Ultra, perhaps your choice of Xposed modules was the problem???
If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, then you need to do that first. Bear in mind, once unlocked you will lose all android pay functionality.
Which Mix do you have...? Mine is the 6GB/256GB variant, and certain system modifications only work on the specific versions.
Have you flashed TWRP, if so which version?
In answer to your first problem - remove all fingerprints and re-add them. On some of the stock miui.com firmware releases, it doesn't migrate fingerprint information correctly.
In answer to your second problem - you *should* try running the current weekly release from xiaomi.eu:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi.../files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-WEEKLY-RELEASES/7.7.20/
If you are running *stock* firmware, you *will* need to factory reset.
-----
With regards to your "research" problem, I assume you mean the global search from the phone (If this is not the case then let us know what you mean).
Again, I've not experienced issues searching the phone since changing to the xiaomi.eu (weekly) global firmware which is based on Android 7.0 however Xposed support is minimal.
If you want to change firmware, unless you change to the same build structure then you won't be able to keep your current data.
e.g. stock miui.com firmware to xiaomi.eu firmware.
In this situation, root and titanium backup is your friend.
Thanks for your answer, it is really helpful !

The only change I would personally use on a mi-globe firmware would be the three-way reboot menu, however that can be substituted with an application.
IMHO, I don't see any real reason to use "their" firmware as all they're doing is tweaking an already good release by an established team of developers

[ROM][N]Optimum Stock v1 By FullOfHell

Today I bring to you a very close to stock rom, but with some additional features. The 7.1.1 update we received has basically a lot of the Note 8's features inside and most were inactive, For the past couple weeks I have exploring this update and activated a bunch of the featues. Some of them I added from a Note8 system dump. This is 100% stable as of v2
Snap Multi-Window-just like normal multiwindow, but it adapts to split your screen and adjusts the UI to accomodate.
pop up view is all working
Bixby is removed for v2
Removed the haggard t mobile boot logo
Included the Note8 logo
The kernel is a custom permissive beast with all sorts of inbuilt goodies.
instructions: Flash Rom, Root(supersu2.82 systemless or Magisk14.0), then encryption breaker (no verity boot image patch)
and no you cant keep anything, wipe everything but internal and external.
This is for the J700T, T1.
You must have upgraded your phone to 7.1.1 for this to work
Optimum Stock
V2
https://mega.nz/#!97p0WRLQ!2EjYaHld_QQIQth6h7L4M8PvY3VijHIuF2REF40aWRs
Have fun, if you want to tell me how screwed up it is I will laugh at you. Probably point AND laugh. I accept no responsibility if you brick your Sh*T
Lastly, Magisk Xposed works great with this just make sure to use their modded installer.
Thank you to Mr.Duck254, & Metabolic12 for the advice throughout. V2 will have a great amount of extra features in working condition.

No go, I deodexed to edit and it doesn't want to boot. It makes it past the boot animation and then just sits there. Even w/o the edited services and framework. I'm going to another look. I even tried using the stock odex and added the edited fw and services. Maybe i need to update my apktool as its been a while since i have.

MIUI 9.1 Global Stable is out for Mi Mix 2! (v 9.1.1.0)

____Update 12/01____
Since a couple of days we now have v 9.1.2.0. I haven't noticed any differences yet, but the wallpaper carousel is functioning again. They also implemented fixes for problems that I personally did not encounter. ...aaand the notifications are slightly improved! Some of them evene expand and allow for direct interaction. Breathtaking development.
Get it while it's fresh on en.miui.com.
Should you not be rooted, I can recommend installing it via XiaoMiTool. I used this to flash the last MIUI 8 Global Stable, and then got 9.1.1.0 and now 9.1.2.0 via OTA. I've read that for some people here fast charging isn't working on th 9-er Firmwares. I have had no problem with that at all. Maybe it's because you guys are rooted, or because system wasn't flashed properly? I don't know, but I feel with you...
____Update 11/16____
The MIUI9 release has since been officially announced. This XDA article sheds some light on the release. However, as of today, the ROM is still not available for download on en.miui.com.
If you don't feel like waiting for OTA hitting you, shadowxaero has provided a link to download 9.1.1.0 (NDEMIEI) in post #7.
To enable VOLTE in presumably every MIUI realease, KevinLuong has shared a great link to an explanation including an easy fix in post #2.
Update 11/17
The Firmware is officially available on en.miui.com now. Should you not be rooted, consider installing it via XiaoMiTool, which will let you chose and download the Firmware within the programs flashing dialogue (give that man a beer).
_____initial post_____
..but there is no mention of it anywhere (yet). Why is that?
It's Version 9.1.1.0 (NDEMIEI). Got it OTA on Friday night, but it isn't even yet listed on the official site. Whats up with that?
Everything seems to run great, except that VOLTE can not be activated, which I find a little weird for a stable release. Oh, and notfications are still not up to scratch in MIUI 9, which is the single most annoying thing about MIUI.
Anyone else on this ROM? Maybe with tips, tricks, htoughts or insights?

It's Version 9.1.1.0 (NDEMIEI). Got it OTA on Friday night, but it isn't yet listed on the official site. Whats up with that?
Everything seems to run great, except that VOLTE can not be activated, which I find a little weird for a stable release. Oh, and notfications are still not up to scratch, which is the single most annoying thing about MIUI.
Anyone else on this ROM? Maybe with tips, tricks, htoughts or insights?

It's a nightly preview pushed to some users.

Hmm. Why would they do that? I'm not even participating in the user feedback program (at least not willingly ). Usually the nightlys they push out clearly state that they are nightlys, don't they? I saw this with the Mi 6 when it got v 9.0.1.0. In this case on Mix 2 the ROM clearly states "stable" though.
Well, I don't want to complain. I feel special now. :victory:

What ROM where you on before, MIUI 8 Global Stable?

Yes, I had Global Stable (v8.5.1.0).
It's a global stable beta (stable beta = what exactly??) according to the miui forums. There was an announcement about it. I put a link to the download in the reverse engineering thread.
I haven't actually tried it yet but I would be interested to know if it passes safetynet, I guess.

A user provided that link on the MIUI forums. I haven't flashed it yet and I believe you need to be on the MIUI8 Stable ROM in order to flash this.

You can flash it with fastboot, but you have to convert the system to a system.img in order to do so.

I used sdat2img.py
https://github.com/xpirt/sdat2img
Use that to make a system.img, flash that with fastboot.
Then flash all of the other partitions with fastboot from the unpacked zip, following the pattern of the Xiaomi fastboot updates so you know which thing needs to be flashed to what.
Kind of difficult to explain and probably not worth putting together a whole tutorial, but that's how you do it.
this build passes safetynet with Magisk 14. I also installed this over Epic rom and not over v8 stable.. works fine anyways. I did format userdata and cache from fastboot before i flashed.

Try disabling VoLTE carrier check with *#*#86583*#*# That did it for me. Make sure the little pop-up screen says disabled
No notification update no fun
Jesus when will it be officially available OTA?
Removed, was already in this thread.
Full ROM Pack Version: V9.1.1.0.NDEMIEI is available now : http://en.miui.com/download-334.html#491

This will most likely not work coming from the developer ROM, but try the regular manual update method:
Download the ROM and copy it to your device. Then go to settings > About Phone > System Update and chose your update package from the extended menu (three dots, top right).
Should the regular method not work, and should your device not be unlocked/rooted, then simply use the XiaoMiTool. If you follow the instructions this program works really really well, so consider donating that guy a beer or two.

phone is unlocked... i cant live without a native adblocker ^^
Thanks...and it seems to work with the updater app it´s in German but it says: all data will be deleted and it make a revert to global stable.
i´ve canceled that, i am not sure whats better, stay on beta and get weekly updates if i want or choose global. it s a hard decission

I'm in the same position
Hi guys,
If you installed the Official MIUI 9.1 Stable can you please report on battery life ?
Regards.

General Just downgraded to One UI 3.1

And everything work flawlessly compared to One Ui 4, no lags, no shutter animations, free of bugs.
Can't believe how Samsung released this new update with so much bugs.

the instuctions:
remember : ( FOR ME ) flash one ui 3.1 over 4.0 select home csc failed via odin.
try again with csc nit home csc successfully but wiping data .
To get into bootloader mode just power down, wait about 5-10 seconds, press volume up and down and connect to (the in the PC) usb cable and you`re done. Just a tip.

Thank you very much. I will wait one more update, if it wont fix then I'll try this.
You say 12 is full of bugs, I haven't experienced anything since the beta's and am getting incredible SOT time

They really dropped the ball and I'm gonna have to do the same if the patch isn't out soon. Any advice for a newbie? Main question I have is will I need to dump my data back onto the phone after this? Or do I have the option to preserve my data on the device itself so I don't have to dump from backup? Of course, I'm going do a backup the device just in case. I really just want to know what I'm about to dive into.

Depends on your carrier. Verizon and T-Mobile already got their patches rolled out. AT&T, and unlocked phones have not.
To downgrade what firmware should I download...I m a bit confused. I m in Usa and have an unlocked version. From sammobile website it has att, tmo, verizon etc but i dont see the unlocked? Couple other options say TMK and USC...no idea what those mean. Any Ideas?
EDIT: NVM figured it out. There is a thread on here with U1 firmware which is for unlocked variant. However Home CSC gave me an error and phone wouldnt boot. But there was an option for factory reset, did that and booted fine.
Quick question, updated to 12. Not happy with the lag and other aspects. If I backup my phone with smart switch and then try to revert to 11, can I restore my data?

Could you get me a link to that? I have the US unlocked variant as well. Could really use the help.
Great news, also just as important I changed my phone wallpaper and may consider using Google Messages for a bit.
You guys tried the BUKG? it's working flawlessly for me. No stuttering animations, lovely colors customization, frame drop has been fixed, no battery drain

Still buggy as hell. Downgraded again.
I am considering to Downgrade also,
just can't stand the fact that a basic functionality like Google Play Store is not working correctly,
I've applied the December Patch pushed by Samsung, would i be able to downgrade (Clean) to Android 11 with the ODIN method? it is mentioned that uses who applied the latest security Patch may fail to downgrade.
I have the latest BUL1 Release, and Model SM-G998B
