Anyone have any original flip covers for a S8 you are willing to part with?

I bought the S8+ clearview cover from this company last year. They're apparently the official Samsung accessories distributors in SA. Ordered the Tuesday afternoon and received it the following morning.

My S8 has slowed down quite a bit not sure why it has official firmware on.

Anyways flashed Deluxe Rom yesterday and wow what a difference. Suddenly MTN VoLTE and Wifi calling is working and the battery lasts now and no lagging or slow startups...

DeluxeROM v28.2 [N950F/G955F/G950F] [DTJ1] [PIE] [AROMA] [ROMCONTROL] [+KERNEL] | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)

Was pretty easy to flash. Flashed TWRP with Odin. Once that was done downloaded the .zip file and flashed that with TWRP and sorted.

Samsung Galaxy S8, now 5.5 years old, receives a new firmware update

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ launched in early 2017 to much acclaim after a long career they received their final update in May 2021. We thought it was the last update, anyway, Samsung has just come out with a quick fix.

The changelog for firmware G95*FXXUCDVG4 just says “GPS stability has been improved” and that’s about it. That doesn’t sound like enough to account for the 420MB download size, but if there are any other fixes, they weren’t important enough to mention.

And this really is just a fix, the phone remains on Android 9 with a security patch from April 1 2021. Still, that’s more than we expected from a phone that is now 5 and a half years old.
