I generally prefer custom roms, but since getting the note 8 I still haven't really found a need to root it yet (for me at least, others might disagree of course if they use Xposed, etc.). Even on stock, some have good battery life (I get 6 hours SOT) while others seem to only get 3-4 hours for some reason. Either way, custom roms offer more customization, so my answer is to try stock for a while and if not happy then start experimenting with different roms to see what you like best. Custom is usually better for battery (due to optimizations, debloating, etc.), but again it's all quite relative...

Android Pay and custom roms (specifically Note 7)

I know this has kinda been asked before, but it got misinterpreted as Samsung Pay and it was ages ago. I was just wondering: Has anyone actually got Android Pay and a Note 7 custom rom working together? It's kinda a major feature for me, but the Note 7 roms I've tried all say its invalid. However, the Note 7 roms are so dam good and whenever I go back I miss the features from the Note 7
Pls help
Unfortunately there isn't a way to use Android Pay with ANY custom roms that are based on Note 7 (from my experience).
On a Note 5 based custom rom or stock rooted rom I am able to use Android Pay with no issues. But the only root related issues are Snapchat where I have to remove root before logging in, then re-rooting.

Custom roms and kernels scene?

Hello
I can't stand a phone without root, fortunately we have exynos models of s10/10+ here, though I see that only one rom is available for now, will more devs will cook roms and kernels later?
Also is it a pain to flash custom roms due to A/B slots like it's on 6t?
If we get an stable twrp the full world of GSI opens up.
For non samung roms (aosp) the chances for an S10 specific rom is close to zero..
I am confident twrp will be stable, all new phones get this first period where twrp is semi stable then gets fully loaded

can't wait anymoreeeeeee :crying::crying::crying::crying: LOL I preordered my S10 and it's here but I haven't used it properly so far, only at home and didn't even set it up fully... I neeeeeeeed twrp. root and xposed are available and daily useable.
Saw there is a new way of rooting the s10/10+.
But no new custom roms
when custom roms?
I think twrp needs more stability
I have the s10+ for a couple of days, I can live without rooting for now but the ads are a teal pain in the *** . As soon as the custom roms are rolling on s10+ it will give ne another reason to root
don't wanna sound rude but for what do you need twrp or custom rom .. just root it, install xposed and customize your phone ..

I really need help please, I love Note series but hate it's stock rom.

Hi,
Please I am tired and really I need help, I will try to explain my problem In short:
1- I love the note series devices and I feel it's designed specially for me, I was from the first people who bought the note 1 and I remember how people were looking to me in the street or in bus, at that time the note 1 was something different because of it's big display , but because of Samsung stock rom, every year I buy the note and sell it after one month.
2- when I use the note I feel like I am naked in the street, I feel no privacy, why Facebook, Microsoft and some application installed in my system and I can't completely remove them? why these Apps took big space in my Phone? I bought this Phone yes? I paid money yes? why others control something I paid it's cost? why when I search for something in the most private browser (Firefox) I find my searches in Facebook as ads? maybe if Samsung gave me the note for free or 50% discount maybe I will accept this.
3- Now I have rooted note 9 Exynos N960F DS with unlocked bootloader, I tried many custom roms here the most rom I liked the Pixel Experience 9.0, but the huge battery usage made me sad, I was happy again when I found the GSI AOSP 9 and 10, I tried for weeks to install this rom but it's stock on the booting android logo, I searched a lot, I found a kernel they say it will make the GSI rom work on my note 9 but no way.
4- I found a nice uncompleted solution by deleting unwanted apps completely, I installed TWRP and used a file manager inside @dr.ketan (N960F_DS_N_PIE_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V5.zip), finally I was able to delete some stupid Apps from my note 9, but then my Note 9 could't boot the stock rom, I must use the root and OEM fix in the @dr.Keta zip file, but this made mey note 9 rooted with some problems in G play services.
What I need now?
1- Is there any way to install the GSI AOSP 9 or 10 on my note 9? it will be great to me.
2- If GSI AOSP rom can't be installed, can I use TWRP with stock rom without root? or can I restore the stock recovery after using TWRP?
2- Anyone has any idea to help me?

Custom ROM Suggestions

Hi Everyone,
After 3 years of everyday use I'm decided to bring new life to my Mi9 before I change him at new one.
I know a bit about modding at nooby level. A long long time ago I freaking out about custom ROMs (started from LG GT540, LWW, HTC M7 etc.). But from 3-4 years, since I bought a Mi9 and decided to stop, because MIUI (EU) was a perfect UI (at this time) for me and OTA's successfully keept me by the Stock.
But the time begins - OTA's go away, because Mi9 it's too old for Xiaomi and I want to flash a custom. Latest OTA with Android 11 doesn't arrive at all (yeah, I tried to change regions - I'm from Poland, but without results).
At this time I want a clean AOSP ROM. If there is based on stock kernel would be great, because I want maintenance-free and bug-free as much as possible can it be (good battery optimization will be wellcome).
What you guys think? I know, it's a lot of customs for this model, but I wan't flash it once, and don't care about anything anymore.
I reading about this ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-unofficial-2021-03-07-by-lamjiidii1.4224555/, what do you think? Maybe you guys have a better one?
Thanks in advance.
Any suggestions on android 12 roms?
I don't think there is a ROM which is 100% perfect to be honest.
It depends on your hardware too. Some users can't use Pixon Kernel because Wifi is broken for example. Others have no issues at all.
Maybe CrDroid 7 (Android 11) is worth a try as a starting point.
Don't use the outdated unofficial pixel experience.

Rooting and ROMs for Note 9?

Hi, I'm new here and also suck at all things tech.
I recently got the Note 9 and it's just a beautiful phone in almost all aspects. I'm having some problems with it, but that's for another forum. I want to ask here about rooting and ROMs. Can the Note 9 be rooted and are there ROMs available for it? If so, what is the easiest way for me to go about rooting it and installing a custom ROM? Do I look for computer and cell phone stores in my city and ask them?
One of my past phones was rooted and had a custom ROM. It was splendid just because of the ROM and from then on, I couldn't imagine having a phone I didn't root and get a custom ROM for. Unfortunately, since then, all my phones have been ZTE which-- at least for a long time-- didn't have any available ROMs. If this phone can be rooted and upgraded with a custom ROM, awesome. If I can fix the other issues first.
You didn't say what processor your phone has so here goes:
For Snapdragon CPUs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-note-9-snapdragon-roms-kernels.8318/
For Exynos CPUs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-note-9-exynos-roms-kernels-reco.8016/
There are many custom ROMs, kernels, etc here in the XDA sections. In my opinion NobleROM would be one of the best ones just from what I've read/seen about it.
But do ask yourself if you really need root and a custom ROM on the Note9. I'm a guy who could never imagine having an unrooted phone until I got the Note9 - it has everything I'd want stock and there is also GoodLock modules which are made specifically for OneUI by Samsung and don't require root.
PS: Just NEVER put a Snapdragon ROM/kernel on an Exynos phone and vice versa or you'll most likely brick it.
