Galaxy S9 ROM for Galaxy S8/S8 Plus!

For those of you who want to get Galaxy S9 ROM on your Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus, I do highly recommend using the Alexis ROM, which is a “full port” of a real Galaxy S9 Plus.  What is a full port?  Basically, all of the software has been slightly modified to work on older devices like Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus.  And best of all this ROM works on both Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus.   Of course, you WILL need an exyno-based Galaxy S8/S8 Plus with an unlocked bootloader.  No, it will NOT WORK on any Snapdragon models such as all U.S. models(sorry, Samsung blocked it on purpose I have no idea why).

Galaxy S9 & S9 Plus Case! [Ringke]

If you have ordered your Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus, you may want to consider getting cases BEFORE you get your phone and save a bunch of money by buying them online (as you will end up paying twice more at a retail store).  Plus, the best S9/S9+ cases are usually found online.  For this video overview, Ringke sent me all of their latest cases for the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus.  Amazingly, the cases fit perfectly on my Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus as they have exact same outer dimensions as the S9/S9 Plus.  Of course, the only real changes this year is the new fingerprint sensor position and you may be able to re-use your older S8/S8+ cases by cutting a hole.
