Best variant for custom ROMs? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hey guys. I'll be picking up a Note 8 in few months and in my country there is only N950F(carrier models) N950F dual sim(if it does even exist) and N950FD. Which one should I go for if I consider unlocking my phone someday?

You posted in the Note 8 Q&A section. There are 5 other Note 8 sections. Do check them out to see what's going on.

Those all have unlocked bootloaders, but some users have had issues with the OEM unlock toggle. Check out the OEM unlock thread and read up from there. It's a large thread

Yeah, it's feels different when you are not handed it by the spoon.

Firmware leaked? R380XXU0BND9

I was browsing and found this article... not sure how reliable the source is but has anyone else heard about this? If so has anyone tried it out yet? I'm guessing we somehow use Kies to install it...

Check and u will see u are on r381 already.

R381 is the model number of the gear 2 neo , the link in op is showing a newer firmware version then we currently have on the g2n
It would be nice to see a bnd9 change log.

Lol, yes it is. Seriously senior moment. I'm on nd8, other forums suggest not to install nd9 in the US

Yeah, I saw there was another thread in the Gear 2 forums (they should probably combine them!). They said the same thing about it being international or something. I read one post saying they installed it with Odin, not sure if that was true but I will just hold off installing it.
Thanks!

I have no issues here in US. I flashed the Greek firmware in Odin and all is well through a normal day of usage and apps install as usual via Samsung Apps. I'm about to try reverting just for shiggles and see how that goes, for no reason other than curiosity.

Anything different in this build??

Ditto... somehow no one has posted anything about what this build has to offer. I find that sort of strange.
I honestly haven't noticed anything much. I did notice that the occasional artifacts left behind by a previous screen when scrolling through my apps seem to have stopped. Other than that no visible changes to me.

I'm also in the US. So flashing the new firmware (Greece) didn't notice much difference? I'm also assuming it did a master reset flashing with odin...

Hi guys, there's a new official BTU firmware available via ota. Change log lists s health improvement plus ui improvement. Will test and report anything extraordinary. Personally I'm hoping the pedometer learns to count steps and the heart rate sensor to stop jumping from 70 to 140 in a few seconds.

How to Return Note 4 Port Evolution back to stock Note 3...

Hi Guys,
I need some advice. I have a Canadian Galaxy Note 3 which I flashed to the Note 4 Port Evolution 3.0 (SM-N900W8)
It is now showing that its a SM-N900T due to the flash.
I have sold the phone but needs to restore it to stock before I can hand it over.
Can someone please help simplify this process. It has been some time since doing this.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers.

Edge features

Hi
Does anyone know if it possible to get any s6 edge or s7 edge features on note 5 without unlocking Boot loader(no root) and how?
Sent from my Moto G using Tapatalk
Dumb question, what kind of features do they have that the Note 5 does not?

The swipe for contacts, apps, news, or feeds and also you have media playback and other s6 edge or s7 edge futures.

Also for rooted users, would be great to have just edge screen

I believe it can be rooted but if that's true I just cannot figure out why we can root a note 8 but we can't root any galaxies lights at 8 or 9

The reason for the locked thread has been explained here. Just remember to where you linked in that closed thread.
Ah, so this is only an aftermarket head unit kind of thing.
Shame.
Yes. Unfortunately there is a very small selection of OEM models with wireless AA.

Got it working on my Kenwood 905s, it was the thing i missed the most when switching from pixel 2 xl to OnePlus 7 pro.
Awesome!
