I've been looking into note 5 threads now that I got on coming from a note 3 and every thing seems confusing. From what I've seen, people with snapdragon variants can install rom's from the exyous variants for example, a n920g rom on an n920w8.
Is this actually true ?

I have no idea. Help please
Short answer: no
Long answer: Your Galaxy Note has the Snapdragon S3 SOC, our Galaxy Note has the Exynos 4210 SOC, both of which are totally different. Also, both have different radios, recovery location, etc., so flashing a ROM for the N7000 onto your note will mess it up and vice versa.
Hello,
I just got a Note 5 (N920W8) and I'm considering rooting it but had a question. IIRC, the Canadian Note 4 model worked with most/all T-Mobile custom ROMs. Is this still the case with the Canadian Note 5 model? It was really confusing last year with the Note 4 and would like to just start off knowing everything off the bat.
Also, one last question. Answer is probably still no but why not: any root methods out there for this model that doesn't tip Knox?
Thanks!
Hi
I'm going to buy the new Galaxy Note 8, the version in my country is dual sim N950F/DS (Exynos)
I'm a big fan of Snapdragon processors, and i like to change my phone roms and mod it.. So is Exynos version will be enough for me?
Or Snapdragon version will be the best choice!
So i was wondering if anyone can help me to choose the best model i can be happy with

I have owned both a Snapdragon and Exynos Note 8. I sold my Snapdragon because I wanted root and have no regrets.
If you take a quick look at the Development threads, you're going to see that Exynos is the preferred choice given that it has an unlocked bootloader out of the box.
Therefore custom development will be more frequent.
So if you want to root, mod, or flash custom development contributions, go for a Exynos.
I'm positive with SamFAIL being released for Snapdragon devices, you will eventually see an evolution in development but potentially not as much enthusiasm.
Please feel free to add on.
Hi guys,
Coming from an Exynos Note 5, I'm about to upgrade to Note 8. As always, I root and flash custom rom to my phone all the times, since I cannot stand the stock rom.
Now, I have this obvious question that a lot of note 8 noobies like me might have - which model will have the best dev supports?
Snapdragon or Exynos based devices??
millions of thanks in advance.
Several people have asked the same question here - you may want to search next time. The short version is that outside North America and Hong Kong, the Note 8 models are all Exynos, and those are easier to mod due to unlocked bootloader. The Snapdragon version does have a root method now, but per history the Snapdragon versions never have as much development as the Exynos versions.
Thank you!
I will search more thoroughly next time. Exynos versions it is then.
I think they use snapdragon in chinese market too.
Hey Everyone,
Why is there more Development on Exynos chip-set than the Snapdragon chip-set?
I have the note 9 Unlocked and it has the Snapdragon chip-set and there is basically no roms, and there isn't even ROM with pie along with the one UI.
Out of all the the Samsung phones i ever had the Exynos and Snapdragon usually have about the same amount of people creating ROMS and mods for it.
Because the American Snapdragon handsets are locked and the devs have Exynos phones. Currently running Bootleggers on my Exynos and loving it.
