For those who are unfortunate about not unlocking their x8 with 11w30 and above/.... i have a question for u
im on stock kernel and rom and lock bootloader
sorry for asking but i cant seem to find answer if i can change my stock kernel to one of the stock kernel offering of other dev and change my rom to custom rom ??
if yes can u suggest a good rom with good battery life ans stable for everyday use i prefer GB THANKS
Well, stock kernel is stock because you cannot use the cutom ones offered by other devs. This, however, does not prohibit you the use of cutom roms, you only have to use the ones that support the stock kernel option.
As for the roms, well, check out the sticky in general section for a comprehensive list of various ROMs and their supported kernels (look for stock kernel in the kernels list).
<shameless_plug>I, personally, use GingerDX, a fast, smooth and really nice in overall rom</shameless_plug>

Hello everyone
This is the first time Im creating a thread in all my years here on XDA. So please bear with me
Im very happy and excited to see the recent boom of custom roms for our device, its going really well and at a break neck speed.
Much rapid then I can download and flash it too
However, the only thing bugging me the lack of custom kernels.
I understand that the pINKman kernel by slukk and unnamed kernel by luca are both fantabulous kernels , and are mighty contenders for your time.
Dont get me wrong, I fully and whole-heartedly appreciate the kernel-devs and the awesome work made by them
The furnace kernel by savoca seemed to be a good one too, but I noticed that the thread has been closed and my recent pm to him about some possible update has not yielded any results.
I dont possibly know where im going with this conversation (lol), but if you catch my drift, we'd certainly want to see the boom of custom kernels just as we did with custom roms
Sorry for such a lengthy post .
*bows out*
:cyclops:
EDIT- lol, sorry for creating a thread in the general section, I botched it
Should have created in the QA section

Well, as long as Motorola doesn't release the kernel sources for lollipop, there isn't much that can be done. I found today some commits for lollipop but nothing official (look at Motorola's github kernel under issues). It took Motorola quite a while to release the sources for kitkat, so we have to keep patient.
need some OC and OV feature
@doppelhelix
Whelp
Thanks for clearing that up for me man.
Yeah it kinda sucks , I mean with the recent influx of so many roms and only 2 kernels was an eye-sore xD
Anys ways
*fingers crossed*
@doppelhelix
But on a second thought
How come slukk is developing and updating kernels even though the sources have not been released ??

Hey guys I am looking for a rom that has some added features and added optimization similar to cataclysm but on the latest security base 30. i dont like aosp due to bugs and some stability issues. but i am kinda looking for something with a little better performance than just base stock since i know there can be lots of little tweaks made to optimize the stock builds. again i dont want a hybrid aosp or cm based build a pure stock optimized rom would be what im looking for similar to cataclysm. let me know what your using and how you like it.

"Which ROM is best" threads don't pan out too well on this site, mainly because the bulk of the people reading the thread will hawk the ROM they are using, without regard to what you may actually be looking for. The only way you're going to know which ROM works best for you is by installing them yourself and trying them out.
I'm a long time user of XDA and I guess my post could be interpreted as a looking for "best" I'm more just finding difficulty with hownto tell if a rom is cm aosp or stock Google fiware modified. I'm new to the Nexus scene, I've been on HTC devices for ages . and the real issue is like ive stated I've found after trying almost every ROM in the dev thread I have a few faves like PA or RR but they are slightly under developed since based on aosp or cm. I'm looking for a stock Google firmware that has been optimized . BTW my current go to is graveyard bybthe skydragon team which is amazing but I really miss that cataclysm build with all the options it had.

Hello, so I'm asking if I should flash a custom ROM instead of keeping my OOS 4.1.3?
U have to try man. It's clear thing for this device.

One of available versions of RR, phoenix AEX, official AEX, Dirty Unicorns. Today im back to Phoenix AEX, it is a great, stable and fast rom with great developer.

This is so vague, as it tells us nothing about what features you may be looking for, why you want a custom ROM, etc.
If you are just looking for something different, then sure, go for it. Similarly, if certain features of a custom ROM (or ROMs) look attractive, then go for it. There is really no downside, as unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty. And reversing any changes (returning to stock) is pretty easy as well.
On the other hand, stock OOS is amazingly good. Very little bloat or skinning, but with the right amount (IMO) of customization added. Many folks (myself included) accustomed to flashing custom ROMs to get the most out of their device, have been just happy with stock OOS. But of course, there is always room for improvement, tweaking, etc.
It's an individual choice. Most users of Android devices will never flash a custom ROM. Majority probably don't even know what that means.

First determine what you`re missing in stock OOS, find those features in a custom rom/kernel and flash it. Done

Its not just a rom or kernel that makes great batterylife, mobile reception strenght (modem ) and usage (apps, syncing, gaming yes or no) are vital too.
I'd go with FreedomOS or RRemix. Really LineageOS is mostly placebo battery fixes and an overabundance of customization options. Most of the lineage roms outside of RRemix are very unstable or just kinda useless. Hate to say it cuz some devs put lots of time in but Ive always found worse battery life with the same usage patterns on anything but stock.

Oh. That's bad. I want to use a custom ROM. But if Oxygen is so much better?!?!? :silly:
No good ROM available?
Well Oxygen OS was made for this specific phone in mind remember. So of course it fares best.
I don't know. Perhaps lineage with sultan kernel is an option.
I try to find the best ROM with great battery life, performance, stability, features etc. Any recommendations?
Phoenix is good, Resurrection remix also, but how is battery life and performance? So many features in it...

In the time you've been waiting around for someone to make a decision for you; you could have just unlocked the bootloader and flashed a ROM (of even more than one) and be trying it yourself.
Just make a TWRP backup of the stock ROM (or otherwise, know how to return to stock with the official zip file) and you can easily revert if you don't like the ROM you flashed.
No point in waiting for someone else to tell you what to do. Everyone's opinion and preference is going to be different. Just because someone tells you to flash a ROM or not (or which one), doesn't mean that is the right answer for you as an individual.
Even things like battery life and performance are going to vary drastically depending on how you as an individual use your device (as others have also mentioned). Then also throw in the differences in personal preferences and tastes; and the result is that you can't go by the direction of others. You need to decide for yourself.

Thanks. I already tried some ROMs. But I can't decide.
Are there big differences in battery life?

Plus others (more than one) on this thread have already answered the question (of battery life on the various ROMs).
No

You're right. It's only so difficult to decide, because here are so many ROMs and kernels and they are all similar and I want a good daily driver and don't want to change it the next years.

I will try lineage with sultanxda kernel. I hear it has amazing battery life.
I also like Resurrection Remix , but I suppose, it has bad battery life, but I'm not sure.
I've tried a handful of roms... they're all just fine in my opinion but I seem to always end up back on the Oxygen stock rom. I root, but that's about it. I just can't get over how well Oxygen OS is running these days compared to my OP2 ... Just flash and try! You won't hurt anything, and if you do you have a 99% chance of fixing it!
Hey All, I'm new to Samsung Note 9 960f. I've been on Oneplus devices for thr last couple years with ease of root and ample kernel options. I've rooted my Note 9 with the stock OS. Now I'm looking for a decent kernel to go with the stock OS that can help with general tweaks. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Bump... Or in the Note 9 world people aren't really active on custom kernels?
Everyone has different preferences so there is no best...Take a look at the dev thread and try some custom stuff for yourself to see what works best for you.

I totally hear you, I was just asking for recommendations. I understand, in the kernel world there's no best. Just that I believe there's only one kernel listed & available in the exynos development thread Thanks!
BeastMode Kernel is a Beast!

well.. appart from tweaked kernels devs have cooked in their rom, on xda there is only one stand alone kernel you can flash.. so.. lol
guess its beast kernel ftw.

How it fairs compared to stock?
Also on the topic, it's a bit sad how dead the development section of note 9 is. Lack of ROMs and total lack of kernels and a lot of time passed from release.

Definitely nice so far. I've felt a slight snappiness over stock (could be placebo). Also I was experiencing random reboots once / twice a day until this morning (on stock). This kernel has been stable so far, hoping to not experience those anymore. Btw, I haven't tweaked anything on the kernel yet except for anabling double tap to wake.
And I hear you, the development on this device is fairly dull. I guess users are happy with the phone as is, but rooting for me is a mandatory exercise. I've moved from a Oneplus 6 which was one of the most vibrant development communities.
Experience has been good decent far, but ofcourse with the usual set of gripes of adjusting on 8.1 from 9, etc.
Thanks!
Quick question. How do you know which kernel will work?
Running Team Exy Kings, current baseband N960FXXU2ZRL6.
Tried Beast and it boot-looped. Although, I did flash the zip in recovery. Do I need to use Odin?
Been a long time since I last played around with Samsung's.
