I would like to try my hand at compiling (after patching a few files) a ROM for my Note 8 or Note 10 (I have both). I know the ROM contributors here have LOTS of experienced and knowledge that took years to acquire. I do not aspire to that, but would like to get my hands a little dirty.
Are there any pre-made Kitchens for cooking a ROM for Samsung Note 8 or 10? Are there existing code bases that ROM cookers for the Note use? Any good tutorials?
Sorry, I am not a coding expert, but did some back in college. I just want to give it a try. Please help me get started! Thanks!

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.
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?
Hi guys,

I was going to try Official Lineage CFW but if anyone suggest anything else(happy to check) Also can someone point me to correctly updating phone, is it flash stock 10 ui 2.5 first then the CFW or can I go straight to CFW..

So you are running a rooted custom rom now?
Technically you should be able to install a new custom rom ... but ... best to check the rom thread of the new custom rom you want to flash.
And stick to the recommended installation method. Usually in one of the first posts of that thread.
Hello, and thanks for reading my question and eventually taking the time to answer it.
I would love to know if there's a way to trigger the GearVR setup on a Samsung S8+ which has been rooted, and using a custom rom, in my case, Project Sakura 5.2
I'm not a pro in this world, so, please, if you're going to answer, do it in a simple way.
Thank you.
If you want to use GearVR i think that you will have to stick to One UI roms like Hades Rom.
Hey XDA Forums, first time poster but long time reader & custom ROM fan.
A friend gave me an old Note 9 w/ the SnapDragon 845 SoC. Its screen is busted so it's getting serviced under Samsung's $50 program right now. When it gets back I'd like to install a custom ROM on it but I've been lead to believe that working around/through Samsung+Qualcomm devices is generally much more difficult than other phones. My experience is rooting, flashing, and installing Lineage OS or Pixel Experience ROM on some other devices: Pixels, a Xiaomi Mi A1, and two Exynos Galaxy phones (one A5, one M20). All of these devices have very clear, straight forward How Tos by the respective groups that maintain those projects. I had a BLU phone w/ a MediaTek SoC that I bricked because I was just fumbling my way through trying to flash it from some random forums out there.
So, for this Note 9 I'd like to make sure I have the general order of operations correct and what ROM projects (if any) are out there.
1) Make sure phone is updated to Android 10
2) Install TWRP
3) Download ODM.
4) After wipe & factory reset install ODM.
5) Install custom ROM.
If the above is correct, are my only options for reliable ROMs the ones listed in the Note 9 Snapdragon ROMs/Kernels forum? https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-note-9-snapdragon-roms-kernels.8318/
Are there any good/trustworthy Samsung enthusiast forums (hopefully ROM-focused) that anyone is able to point me to?
Thanks a ton everyone, I appreciate your time.

There's a telegram group for S9/Note9 Snapdragon roms/kernels stuff. I can't find it now. I'll share when I found it.
