{DEPRECATED}
This project won't release a new version because I see no reason for that since modified lib v.2.3 is working fine on OP5/5T without breaking OOS functionality.
Hi guys,
After intensive try. I’ll glad to tell you that I just found the way to fix GCam Front facing camera portrait mode without using Magisk module. (which break Face Unlock functionality in OOS)
Instead, my method will dynamic change library only when needs to use GCam and you can revert to default binary, then you still can use Face Unlock.
THIS MOD WAS TESTED WITH OXYGEN OS OREO ONLY
Warning:
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, your phone won’t boot. Use it at your own risk
Prerequisite:
1. Root with Magisk (My app/script only test with Magisk)
2. Busybox NDK (Magisk Module)
3. My file.
4. Disable all lib fix module. (prevent confliction)
5. Recommended Gcam APK: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/
How to:
Ver 3.5.1
1. Download my file here View attachment FixGCam-by-aillez-Unified-V.3.5.1.zip and don't move to another folder. (should be in Download folder or XDA folder)
2. Install this app from the archive (FixGCam-by-aillez-Unified-V.3.5.zip)
3. Allow storage permission of my app. Long Press the app and choose App info > Permission > Storage > Enable it.

4. Open the app and tab Read me/Tutorial button and read it first.
5. Tab Create required file button.
6. Wait until it shows toast about "Required file has been created"
7. Auto-Mode is Fix binary and automatic revert after screen off. (It'll ask for root permission)
8. Manual Fix and Revert is for a user who wants to trigger it by their design time. (It'll ask for root permission)
9. Pick GCam dialog will show after you fix binary (either Auto-Mode or Manual) PS. Only supported for Pixel2Mod and Pixel3Mod by Arnova8G2
10. If you think this mod helps your life better and it worth for some donation. Please help donate
Troubleshooting.
1. If you get "Archive not found" when tab Create required file >>> Download My file first.
2. If you get "You don't have a required file" >>> Tab Create required file button.
3. If you get "Busybox not found" >> Install it.
4. If Create required file doesn't say anything to you. (report by some users).
You need to create a folder name "FixGCam-by-aillez" in internal storage and extract file from archive to there. (As a workaround) Folder structure should be like this.
and you should not tab Create required file.
5. After I fix binary Gcam still don't work/Capture Pink image. What should I do?
Sometimes Gcam already running before change library and load default binary. Fc Gcam and try again will help.
Updated: Should be fixed in V.3.5.1

Hey! It works amazingly well....
So, I was thinking about triggering the revert task to exiting Gcam rather than screen off. The only problem is that it detects exiting Gcam if you go view your photos from within the camera app. I can't figure out how to make it work. Anyone with more Tasker knowledge know how to make this work... I.e. tie the fix to launching the app, then get it to revert on closing the app? I know there are downsides either way really.
Working great! Thanks ?

I use Nova launcher and I've set it so that if I swipe over the Gcam icon, it launches the Tasker fix. I modified the Tasker fix to launch the app after it successfully patches. So to run Gcam I swipe. To use it again before I turn off the screen I just tap the icon.
in my case the camera app doesn't take any picture in portrait mode with the front camera
No errors when the task is execute and works well the restore for the face unlock...but I can't take the photo
OB3 + Arnova's v6_beta15
EDIT: It's necessary to enabled hdr+ front camera
Thank you very much man I really prefer face unlock over fingerprint and I often use my camera (thank God we have gcam to replace stock camera) and it was a pain to have to reboot to get either gcam or face unlock.
It's working for me on OB3 with arnova Cam and other version of gcam.
Good to see it's working for you
I'll try to write a script to run without needs of Tasker since not everyone using Tasker.
But I can't give you ETA.

Layers Manager now supports the 5x making this thread redundant. You can find the beta here:
https://plus.google.com/117376207394302665227/posts/P5Z41eL57bz
Still exercise caution when applying Layers.
Here is a small guide on theming your device using the built in "theme engine" a.k.a. "RRO" until it's properly supported with Layers Manager.
Do not attempt this unless your are prepared to do a factory reset or reflash a boot.img in a worst case scenario.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Requirements.
Root: LINK
BusyBox: LINK (Optional but recommended for future use).
Root file explorer.
Layers themes: LINK
Layers showcase: LINK
To filter themes:
Select hamburger menu in the upper left.
Choose free/paid layers.
Click menu in upper right.
Select "Android Version" and pick "M".
PLEASE NOTE.
THE THEMES MUST BE COMPATIBLE WITH MARSHMALLOW TO RESTRICT PROBLEMS.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps.
Gain root.
Install BusyBox open the app and click "Install" (see screenshot below).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Use a root file explorer (I use root explorer) to create a folder named "overlay" in "system/vendor" and set its permissions to 775 (see screenshot below).
Download theme/s. TIP do this through your browser to view the package name in the address bar as it will make things easier on the next step.
example:
Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=[B][SIZE="4"]com.dully79.graphite[/SIZE][/B]&hl=en
Using the file explorer navigate to "data/app" and locate the theme you installed.
Inside the folder you will find an apk named "base.apk", copy the apk to your sdcard.
Click the apk and select "view"
Navigate to "assets>Files" and extract the zip/s.
Extract the apks from the extracted zip and copy the desired overlays to the overlay folder we created earlier.
Reboot.
PLEASE NOTE. THE FRAMEWORK LAYER IN GRAPHITE IS UNSUPPORTED AT THIS TIME. DO NOT USE IT.
Problems?.
Until we can view the vendor folder from recovery, here is how to fix a troublesome layer.
Navigate to the overlay folder and delete the layer/s that is causing the issue.
As a last resort, If you cannot gain access to the overlay folder we need to do a factory reset or reflash the boot.img.
Yay! Thank you sir.
Whoa so this is actually the first time I've ever heard of layers or RRO. This is a gamechanger. So a theme like this(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bitsykolayers.vividcolorwhite&hl=en) would work? Can you combine themes? One that changes navigation bar and one that changes colors in the system?

Yes, depending on the priority of the layers we are able to stack them. If you have layer (A) that changes the status bar with priority 60, and another layer (B) that changes the same resources with a higher priority, layer B will override A.
But do your self a favour and dont apply anything that isnt officially marshmallow supported.
If you get yourself into problems you may have to factory reset, ive had to do 3 times today testing my theme.
Once we can get into the overlay folder from recovery, troublesome layers wont be a problem.:good:

Thanks for the response! Have you found any themes that support 6.0 yet?
I downloaded the layers manager app and it says it supports marshmellow already.

Layers manager does support 6.0 on most devices, just not this hence the steps to extract.
We need to wait for an update.
If you download the Layers showcase app you can filter themes that are compatible with 6.0:

So I downloaded and installed busybox. I then used three different themes that were compatible with 6.0. I used root browser to create a folder in system/vendor called "overlay" The downloaded themes I downloaded from Google Play are in Data/app. I took the apk and clicked it and hit view. Then I went into assets and took the zip folder and extracted it. I took all the apks and put them into the overlay folder. Then I rebooted and nothing happened. I tried timberwolf, skywolf, and inversion UI.

It is possible to use Layers Manager to install/uninstall Layers/RRO themes. Here's how you do it:
1. Install a Terminal emulator/use adb shell
2. Remount the vendor partition as rw (read/write)
Code:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /vendor
3. Open Layers Manager and install/uninstall your chosen Layers/RRO theme
4. Reboot and enjoy!
Also, a factory reset will not clear any themes installed in /vendor/overlay. You can just flash the vendor image from the factory image to remove all installed themes (no need to wipe)
Code:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

do we need to run this command every time we want to install or remove a layer, if we dont want to copy paste into /overlay?

Thanks for post
@craigacgomez Getting the theme on to the device isn't really the problem, it's removing them.
Until we are able to view the vendor partition from recovery were playing with fire.
And I never said a factory reset will remove any themes, it will put a stop to persistent fcs like SystemUI. I had to do this 3 times yesterday and twice the day before.
Edit: I forgot to say, the reason I say factory reset is because it can be done without the need for a cable and pc to fastboot flash an image.

It's not necessarily true that a factory reset will get rid of SystemUI FCs if you use a theme that is not M-compatible. But, yes, it could fix many other reasons for FCs.

UnBloatMi - Xiaomi MIUI Bloatware Remover
I have been searching for a script to remove Bloatware from my Xiaomi Mi5s, and found a couple of different ones that do part of the job.
None were exactly what I was looking for, so I wrote a script of my own.
Although I tested the script on my MI5s only, it should be very usable for any Xiaomi device running MIUI 7 or 8.
In UnBloatMi I have combined multiple lists of MIUI 7 and 8 apps that should be safe to remove.
It also contains a couple that are less safe to remove, but the script will ask for confirmation before removing those.
Which is a big difference from other scripts; you get to choose what to remove and what to restore!
Backup location:
If you edit the script, you can change the backup location to use (by default "/sdcard/UnBloatMi")
You can of course also add more apps to remove to the list in the script. (instructions are in the comments)
It's not needed to remove files from the list, as it will not process files that are not on your device, and you can choose not to remove any app.
To Customize the Script:
Unzip the zip and edit the file under: META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary
This script is written in shell language (sh), so editing is somewhat different from "normal" EDIFY scripts that use the "updater-script" file.
I used part of the excellent template by osm0sis to create UnBloatMi
Install Custom Apps/Files:
You can also have the script install Custom files to /system folder. (So you can add another HomeLauncher, for example)
To have the script install Custom files, just add them to the Zip in "/system/app/" folder:
/system/app/YourCustomApp1/YourCustomApp1.apk
/system/app/YourCustomApp2/YourCustomApp2.apk
The script will automatically install them for you.
To use the Script:
You need to have TWRP Recovery installed.
BACKUP YOUR DEVICE BEFORE RUNNING THIS SCRIPT!!! (I recommend using TWRP Backup)
(even though the script allows you to restore your changes, something can always go wrong - press wrong button for example)
- Move the ZIP file to your SDCard, and install using TWRP Recovery
Basically, you can just follow the instructions on the screen, by pressing Volume buttons.
- The first run, you'll be asked what apps to remove. Backups are automatically made.
You can confirm each app, or choose to only confirm the more risky apps.
- If you run the script again (after testing your installation), it will detect the backups from the previous run.
You can then choose to restore the backup files, or delete them from your device.
- You can now also create a default UnBloat list, that can be used to UnBloat after flashing a (new) ROM.
It is created by checking for installed apps. If an app is not found on the device, it's added to the list.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Feel free to edit and change the script.
If you make any improvements, please let me know so I can add them to the script.
This includes reporting what apps caused problems when removed, or comments about apps.
You can find the script in: /META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary (or on GitHub by clicking the "Source Code" link below)
Instructions can be found in the comments of that file.
--UPDATE--
Added Step by Step Restore: You can now choose which apps to restore, so it is easier to troubleshoot your installation.
--UPDATE v0.2--
Added warning to SecurityCenter App (so it has to be confirmed). It caused bootloop on my device when removed.
--UPDATE v0.3--
Bugfixes, Added Apps, changed and added some app comments. Changed download link (GitHub download creates a folder too many)
--UPDATE v0.4--
Changed/Added menu's - Allows you to do more actions at once
Added apps and comments.
Added ability to save a default UnBloat list. This can be used to UnBloat after flashing a ROM.

Thanks for your bug-report and logfile!
It says it couldn't find the script, and after investigating I found the download link to GitHub creates a folder too many inside the zip.
I was hoping to have the available download automatically give the latest version...
I guess I'll have to create a release after every update, and update the link accordingly...
I adjusted the download link in the original post.
this is great! i made my own debloater script, but your is so much more elegant! i hope things dont change much when we update to 8.2....

I have just released version 0.4, which allows us to create a default UnBloat list.
This can be used to UnBloat again after flashing a new ROM.
(I'm hoping to use this in combination with OTA updates. I'll write a howto if I manage to get this all to work)
Thanks, i try it...
EDIT: i have removed many apps on my rn3se (kate), wipe davilcache but i've a bootloop :?
Good restore option
Hey @Zappo, did you already get the update to 8.2? Will you be updating the script for the new miui?

Hi.
Big thanks for your hard work. At this moment i have personalized your list but i think that velvet.apk is a possible problem
This "# The file number doesn't have to be in order, but should be unique." is no true otherwise the script does not work well (es.: items 0-1-3-4)

You are both correct and wrong; they don't have to be in order, but do have to be ascending without interruptions (can't have missing numbers)
Ex: items 0-1-3-5-4-2 is OK.
I didn't think it would be a problem, as items don't have to be removed...
I will review your list, and add a comment to velvet.apk when I have the time. (however it didn't cause any problem on my Mi5s)
Ok, thanks.

Yes, it should work for all MIUI 7&8 devices.
If software in the script is not found on your device, it will be automatically skipped.

I agree this kind of got lost in the code...
New software is only installed when removing bloatware the first time (or when no backups are found).
It should be automatically installed when choosing "Remove/Restore bloatware" from the first menu.
However when a backup is present on the device (folder "UnBloatMi" by default), this is skipped...
I did this, presuming new software is installed after the first run, and if a backup is already created it doesn't have to be installed again.
Hey @Zappo , found this project for redmi note 2, and it's so heavily debloated, i haven't seen anything like it. Maybe you can look over it and add a few more things to debloat? I tried to recreate it but I don't know which qualcomm apps are essential to our phone, i had only bootloops... Anyway here's the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/development/best-sot-t3434915
Edit: i can provide you with a list of all the contents of the rom, i extracted the system partition.
I am writing this guide with all the steps I did to successfully boot Android P on my Whyred device, I am not responsible for any damage, brick, dead SD and so on.
All you have to do is:
-Boot to Recovery (you'll need a Treble Recovery).
-Go to "Clean" section and perform a Factory Reset by swiping the arrow below.
-On "Clean" section tap "Advanced Clean" and select all the partitions (Internal storage, USB-OTG and microSD excluded).
-Go to "Install" section and install last MoKee Rom (in order to boot Android P you'll need MoKee's Vendor).
-After you succesfully installed MoKee rom's zip, go back to recovery main menu and then again "Install" but now press "Install IMG file" and select P-DP3-sGSI.img mounting it as System Image.
-Now go back to recovery main menu and then tap on "Mount" section, here simply uncheck and then check again "vendor".
-Go back to "Install" and then simply install the three files which come after the installation of P-DP3-sGSI.img (POST-sGSI_1_v0.9.zip, POST-sGSI_2_v0.12.zip and POST-sGSI_3.zip in this exact order).
-Simply reboot to System and...you're DONE!
If you want Magisk, you'll need to flash it simply going back to Recovery mode but this only after you firstly setup the phone! (Also I don't know if there is a Magisk.zip compatible with Project Treble for Whyred. EDIT: Magisk 16.6 is working flawlessly).

So MIUI Stock Cam isn't working and from adb it says "grep" is not a recognised command...any other way I should try?
I simply did "adb devices" and then I pasted "adb logcat | grep cam", did I do it right?
EDIT: I do not have linux so I can't do anything with grep.
the gcam is working for me also ar stickers work but not the front hdr as I have the ai variant. however the miui cam for custom roms does not work. also can't get mtp...
the thing that is missing in your tutorial is that it does not boot with an encrypted data partition. I had to "format data" ( the option available in wipe menu which wipes data and internal storage) than install mokee and than flash no-verity, boot up and afterwards continue with the installation. this is mentioned in the original tutorial.

yes, after you install the gmscore linked in the OP it works.
this is basically a giant hack to get a preview software working on a device it didn't meant to, so the fact that so many things work as expected is a big deal (thanks to project treble).
btw my mobile data does not work on the second sim and the camera situation is really messy
somehow arnova8g2 camera works but you cant get in to its settings as it remembers there's no camera
but dont expect a daily driver. it's just fun playing with stuff and trying new things

Hi, you seem to have gone through the whole process of installing so could you tell me if you can flash oreo custom roms or miui 9 nougat regularly once we install this gsi image this way? What if I don't want to stick there so can I go back easily by flashing any rom using twrp or flashing miui via fastboot?
Is it stable enough to be used as a daily driver?

it does not contain a firmware update. A GSI is literally only a system image so it does not affect that.
you use the mokee for vendor and other stuff and the system image from the GSI
make a backup from everything

Here you can find how to build basic custom rom for samsung devices!
This tutorial is based using CRB kitchen. All credits going to @MrWaehere
Code:
I am not responsible if this bricks your phone or causes thermonuclear war
and ends the world as we know it.
You have been warned.
What is Android Kitchen?
• Basically a Tool which helps you customize the shipped ROM's, or modify custom ROMs for the features you like.
This tutorial is specially for:
• Newcomers to the world of Android.
• People who want to create their own custom ROM's but unable to do so as it is going over the head.
• People who did not had any encounters with Programming.
Requirements:
• Windows 64-bit Platform.
• .NET Framework 4.7.2.
• Java (JDK) for APK-Tool.

WSL - Case sensitive
• Some versions of Windows do not support case sensitive. You can test it in CRB -> Settings -> Test WSL.
• Run CRB as Administrator.
• Note: some devices also require this step.
Let's begin!
Download your choosed Samsung Device firmware
• Samsung Firmwares.
Starting with the kitchen
• Extract downloaded CRB kitchen and open CRBuilder.exe.
• Click extract button and let's create first work enviroment.
• Type your project name.
• After creating work enviroment, select firmware you downloaded before.
• After extraction finished, you can move on!
Disabling Force Encryption
NOTE! You need to disable encryption, to bypass force going to Download mode.
• Click on Kernel tools button.
• Press Disable DM-VerityForceEnc..
Deknoxing and Debloating Automatically

• Press Remove Knox button to Deknox NOTE! You can edit Deknoxing list, navigate to CRB folder, then navigate to templates/knox_list.txt and edit to your dependencies.
• Press Fast Debloat button to Debloat NOTE! You can edit Debloating list, navigate to CRB folder, then navigate to templates/fast_debloat.txt and edit to your dependencies.
Editor
• Click on Editor button.
• Generate Updater-script NOTE! You don't need to generate Updater-script while using raw images method, it will generate automatically.
• After generating Updater-script, you can edit it to your dependencies by pressing Edit - Updater-Script.
Debloating Manually
• Click on APK button.
• Press Debloater.
• Wait a while till tool will load apk files, then you can debloat to your dependencies.
Building ROM's
• Click on Build button.
• Then you need to choose method NOTE! Highly recommended to use Raw Images method for Newcomers, unless you know what you're doing.

As i mentioned in thread, WSL 2 is needed to Enable Case Senstive, to check if it's enabled navigate to CRB kitchen, settings and press "Test WSL" if it will bypass, it means you're good to go.
Thank you
Very nice.
This method works with samsung processors Exynos and snapdragon??
Can it be flashed through Odin or twrp needed?

twrp needed.
I have tried everything I can think of and I can't get this to work. Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2017) SM-t380. I am running Pie stock with no issues. I have downloaded the exact firmware used on my device. I have gone from the simple (remove dm-verify, deknox and deodex only) to the full boat including debloating. When I output using raw->zip, I get the meta file and a boot.img file only. If I do a zip file then I get the meta file, a system file and the boot.img file. No matter what I do either installed the tablet just hangs at the Samsung screen. I have let it sit for hours and nothing. Luckily, I have twrp and a few backups, so I can save it. How should I be using this tool to create a twrp flashable zip?
I appreciate the tutorial, however, it feels like you left some things out, I have built and released roms before but its been a while. So I am wondering could add some more steps, seems that you just dropped it at do the raw image step. Then the OP ends?
How do you flash?
What do you flash with?
Do i just flash the output file in TWRP? All it has is an img and boot

If you search the original thread on CRB Kitchen he has a really good tutorial on how to install WLS and getting it to work. It took me a couple tries, but I got it installed and the Kitchen working. You do need to run the cmd window in administrator to get it all to work right. I still can't get the outputted ROM to boot right either. I am going to post on the original Kitchen thread to see if I can get an answer.
I ran everything as admin and it didnt work either. Thanks for your help.

This is the tutorial I ended up following. I had to do the WSL1 install twice as the first time, windows did not perform the update correctly at the restart. Second time worked like a charm.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
does it work on other devices apart from Samsung?

Hi all! I should have posted this years ago but anyways... This rom is made due to the fact that there is no bug-free rom for Galaxy J8, not even any development going on. So, I decided to de-bloat the latest stock firmware, polish it a bit, configure some settings and fix some of the issues.
Twrp and Root Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-flash-twrp-j810f-g-m-y-gf-j8y18lte.4479201/
WORKING
Everything that works on stock rom, including VOLTE.
NOT WORKING
Nothing.
CHANGELOG
Read the "!!! READ ME FIRST !!!" text inside the Google Drive folder.
BLOATWARE LIST
Read the "More Info About Bloatwares" pdf file inside the Google Drive folder.
INSTRUCTIONSHOW TO MAKE A CLEAN INSTALLATION (WARNING! YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA INCLUDING INTERNAL STORAGE -pictures, songs, downloads, files, apps etc.-)
1. Install/Update TWRP (use v3.5.0) (big thanks go to goldfish07)
2. Create backup, INCLUDING VENDOR (everything you need - including your files in internal storage - use an external storage if possible)
3. Reboot into TWRP. Navigate to Wipe/Format Data type yes and apply it. Then, go to Wipe-Advanced Wipe, select ONLY these "Dalvik/Art Cache - System - Vendor - Data - Cache" and format them.
4. Copy "J8_De-Bloated_Stock_Rom_v7.1.zip" to your internal or external storage and flash it.
5. Reboot and enjoy! (it might say "NO OS INSTALLED", it is normal when you format system from advanced wipe and then install the zip, just swipe and system will start) (first boot may take a couple of minutes, please be patient, YOU WILL ONLY SEE THE "SAMSUNG LOGO", NOT the animation and it is NORMAL)
HOW TO MAKE A DIRTY INSTALLATION (ONLY IF YOU ARE COMING FROM ANOTHER VERSION OF DEBLOATED ROM) (YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANY DATA)
1. Open "J8_De-Bloated_Stock_Rom_v7.1.zip" using the latest version of "WinRAR" on pc or the latest version of "RAR" on Android.
2. Go inside the "data" folder and delete the 3 folders (adb, app, system). Do not delete the "local" folder.
3. Copy the "J8_De-Bloated_Stock_Rom_v7.1.zip" to your phone.
4. Reboot into TWRP.
5. Flash the "J8_De-Bloated_Stock_Rom_v7.1.zip".
6. When installation completes, select "Wipe cache/dalvik" and swipe.
7. Reboot and enjoy!

While system update check, it also verifies your display originality. If you change your display on untouched stock rom, it will be permanently disabled unfortunately. You should have upgraded to debloated rom or disabled system update apps so that you could keep using changed display. There is no luck fortunately. (you cannot downgrade to Android 9 to solve the issue because bootloader does not allow that)
This and the "More info about bloatwares" is great, thanks for all your efforts. The device is finally usable without stutter even when scrolling.
But there is a small thing -> I think you should remove default magisk so that it can be installed with app and be able to update.

You're welcome. I configured some of the Magisk settings so that you do not need to do anything so as to be able to successfully pass SafetyNet. Additionally, If I remove default installation of Magisk as an app, stub app will give you error while downloading the app unfortunately. Lastly, Magisk v24.3 is the latest working version for J8. Magisk v25.x versions will bootloop the device. Therefore, do not attempt to update Magisk. Considering these issues, I decided to include Magisk and its configurations. If you still want to remove it, open "J8_De-Bloated_Stock_Rom_v7.1.zip" using the latest version of "WinRAR" on pc or the latest version of "RAR" on Android. Go inside the "data" folder and delete the 2 folders (adb, app). Then flash the .zip.

TWRP 3.6.x.x for Samsung Galaxy J8 Note: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE OF ANY DAMAGE WILL HAPPEN AFTER YOU FLASH THIS TWRP , ALWAYS DO BACKUP FIRST DOWNLOAD MODE 1. power off your Samsung J8/On8 2. press & hold both vol+ & vol- keys and insert USB driver...

You can uninstall it from Magisk homepage "Uninstall Magisk". The system may not boot without Magisk. Keep this in mind.

Download the necessary apps from "Deleted Apps" folder inside the Google Drive folder and copy them to corresponding folder and reboot.
