Why More Roms for Exynos than SnapDragon - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hey Everyone!
I pretty much have had the Note 9 since it came it, and i always keep on eye on the forums for Roms and stuff.
I have the Snapdragon CPU and i just thought that the development for Roms was off to slow start but then i checked Exynos Forums and they have so many Roms. i was just curious if anyone could tell me why that is. also i thought that the Snapdragon Cpu was the one everyone would prefer. Thanks in Advance for everyone that is able to discuss this with me.

US snapdragon versions have locked bootloaders. Not very many other regions with snapdragon. The Exynos version is the international version, so I believe there would be more of them and they have a boot loader that can be unlocked.

Same processors different roms/ modems(lte bands)?

Hi guys
As you all know there are tons of different varients for note 4. Now lets talk about snapdragon version for example.
There is n910s-f-g which are all have snapdragon soc. And as far as i know the only difference is modems-lte bands. So do you think that n910f rom will work on n910s? Also I doubt about the modem will work... Ok guys I'm wating for yourcommands. Thank you.
The S is exynos
And no, roms only work with their specific model numbers. Except for the H models which seem to work with C roms.

Q&A- Rooting Exynos 8895 Octa

Hi All,
Just got my N8 - N950F and wondering if anyone has Rooted it? Didn't see any thread on rooting yet.
Might be a little early in the game for that. I'm sure devs are working on it but there's nothing in the Android Development forum yet.

So what's the consensus on N9600 vs N960F?

Hello,
I am thinking of buying a Note 9, and from what I've read both of these models are bootloader unlocked and so both are rooteable.
Rooting is very important to me, as well as a good GPU since I play plenty of games. I am also very excited about the possibility of using DeX as my main computer, possibly with arch on it (I've read that it's possible to a degree). I am also living in latin america.
Here are the main points I've gathered from reading quite a bit on the similarities and differences between these models:
* The N960F has a faster CPU BUT the N9600 has a faster GPU.
* The N9600 has a better battery life.
* Both perform quite the same in real life.
* The N960F has a way more active modding community (judging from the amount of threads over here at XDA)
So... I feel like the N9600 is the better choice because of the battery life and the GPU (in my case). The only thing that's making me have my doubts is the inactive modding community in here.
Is there any particular reason why there is currently pretty much no modding being done on the N9600, compared to the N960F, if both are rooteable? There are no kernel threads for the N9600 and only one ROM thread.
Overall, which model would you say is better for my particular situation, and better in general?
Sorry if this has already been discussed somewhere around here and thank you.
If u want multiple custom Roms then best to go with n960f.... Forget the other benefits of n9600

stick with the N960f version, faster updates too .
n9600 to n960f
I have n9600 - N9600ZHU1ARK1 - Brazil - ZTO, and would like install N960FXXS2ARK2 in my n9600. I can?
N960F/DS ftw

Absolutely not. They aren't even the same processor. If you somehow magically got a N960F firmware ro flash on the N9600, you would wind up with a brick.

Is there any chance we get ROMs with One UI 3 for SM-G9600 (Snapdragon)

I had a Galaxy S7, and I loved the time a could get from that phone via XDA ROMs. I have been poking around XDA looking for a way to update mainly to ONE UI 3, but apparently there arent too much roms for this variant. And most of the ROMs, havent been updated in a long time. I imagine this has to do with the locked bootloader, but I havent been able to find more info on this, so im not sure.
Anyway, is there any chance the SM-G9600 gets an android 11 update on this forums?
I hope there's another chance

SM-T710 vs SM-T713?

Hi everyone,
Can anyone please tell me the difference (if any) between the SM-T710 and SM-T713 models of the Galaxy Tab S2?
I only ask as I've seen some ROMs with the SM-T710 listed as a compatible device but the SM-T713 not listed. I've entered the model numbers into the search tool on XDA but haven't yet found any info discerning one from the other.
I tried GSM Arena website and all it shows me is that a 713 exists, but not the differences between them.
Basically, the opportunity to buy one has come up, but I want to make sure I get one that'll have better custom ROM support. So far that's looking like the 710, but will 710 compatible ROMs not work with (or possibly even damage/brick) a 713?
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before.
Thanks!!

The T713 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC, which supports the G3/G4/LTE radio for mobile network connection.
The T710 has a Samsung Exynos SoC.
They have similar CPU specs, but different peripherals (the radio modem stuff, different GPU, etc.)
Hope this helps.
