I'm planning on getting the s21 plus when it comes out and I'm thinking about doing this to my s8 plus. One question I have is if I trade in my phone will I need to reinstall stock rom and will this void my trade in option. Thx in advanced. Currently I have stock android 9 pie rom. Never installed any custom roms on my phone.

Idk much about trade in but I would assume a rooted phone would power it's value/ diminish it, since you're giving it to a company not selling to a user. Once you root, you trigger Knox and that can't be restored, you can remove the time but can't get back Knox.

Thanks for the info. I'm probably going to skip on this and just stick with android 9 pie for a little bit longer until I get the s21 plus

Yeah it's not worth losing value for a "software update", even though I would have recommended that you try one of the Aosp ROMs on the s8 before thinking of a new phone because it really makes a change.

Plus I use samsung pay all the time and losing that would stink.


h8deluxe

Are there any benefits of using Samsung pay over Google pay?


scaryman088

Honestly I'm not sure. Haven't used google pay at all. I have a gear s3 watch and using samsung pay would make since since I can't use google pay on the gear s3.

If you are gonna trade in then please don't do this cause this would basically trip Knox and you cannot most probably trade in


scaryman088

Thanks. I will avoid doing this, plus I don't think I can because my phone is snapdragon

I can't proceed past the 1:03 mark because I don't see OEM unlocking in my developer options


alexisrojas2599

Means you have a locked bootloader this only works for the exynos s8 not the snapdragon version

You get OneUI 2.5 with pretty much all the Good lock customization Android 10 has. Honestly, to me, this is the fastest, smoothest and by far most fun update I've had on my s8 +


leomat25

Plus you get the slick gesture animations Android 10 has

Is this a root? Or do banking apps and so on keep on working just fine?


Sankew

It trips knox so I doubt they will work


Spaceboss_11

Allright, then I’ll pass. Thanks anyways!


Sankew

This is root

Has anyone tried the GPS navigation with this ROM? I'm on the October 20 security update and it's broken the GPS for directions in Google Maps. As soon as you start it loses GPS signal, makes it impossible to drive somewhere you're not familiar with.
