pros and cons of A10 OneUI2 - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Maybe it's been long enough for me to trust that an update from OneUI 1.0 with Android 9 to OneUI 2.X with Android 10 is not something I will regret? With stock Android 9,things are very bug-free and battery life is amazing. I don't want to screw that up by upgrading to a new rollout. But now it's been six months.
Besides security anda more integrated dark UI,
pros an cons to finally upgrading from stock OneUI 1.0 on Android 9 to OneUI 2.0 with Android 10? Stability and very efficient battery usage is most important.

I have noticed no difference from A9 to A10 from my usage, battery is holding almost the same but maybe a tiny bit better with standby. I personally haven't noticed any bugs or stability problems in usage, always have updated a day after update was out, I'm still waiting for 2.1 so can't tell how the newest update holds up.
I like how OneUI 2.x looks and works and never had an urge to revert to pie, but yours and others mileage may differ as it is often the case.

Can confirm that Android 10 OneUI 2.0 is awesome and I've got no issues at all with it. Soon will update to 2.1 when it comes to Bulgaria

Best battery life non-MIUI Oreo ROM

I'm looking for a new Oreo ROM for my device and care deeply about battery life. I wish I could stick with MIUI for that reason but because of how it handles notifications I can't stick with it. I'd love to hear suggestions on which ROM people would suggest

Oreo Global Beta 8.5.24 which was the last beta that MIUI updated this late is the best Rom to use in terms of battery life. I have tested just about all the Oreo Modified Stock Roms even EU Miui and Miui Pro, and these types of Roms don't quite work well because of and RCS Service drain.. which is a problem. The current Oreo based Rom are having heat issues currently: I have tried AICP, Pixel Experience, Lineage 15.1.. all have abnormal temperature when the phone is idle or doing minor tasks. Last i used Cdroid, i also went back to 8.5.24 after a day of testing Cdroid. I always compare all the roms to Miui 8.5.24 because compared to the current 9.5.6.0 stock and the previous 9.5.2.0. ~ You can tell the difference of battery usage. Oreo based Roms versus Oreo 8.5.24 very big difference in CPU handling and heat accumulation.

What's the current best debloated custom ROM for Note 5?

Hello,
I have been using my Note 5 with Extreme Debloated ROM 3.3 (that's Android 6.0.1) for over 2 years now and it's been working fine (fast and smooth, no lag and no crashes) except there are still some bugs which are long overdue that have never been fixed since no newer version of that great ROM has ever been released.
My question is: Which other better ROM is there or that you have personally used or are using on your Note 5 without any issues especially with the camera app? I don't need a ROM with tons of bells and whistles (deep tweaks and customization a la VenomROM). Just something debloated and light but which retains the original Samsung Apps with an updated Android - it doesn't have to be the latest but newer than 6.0.1 would be nice. In my experience, the Note 5 is still a pretty good device in 2018. The camera is great and my phone simply works. No crashes and it's not noticeably slow when opening apps and i don't play games on it. At some point, i will consider changing for a newer model as the battery degrades over time... Maybe for a Note 10? But for now, i'm very concerned with updating my current custom ROM which doesn't allow me to install the Galaxy Apps for instance, since i'm using my phone mostly for photography these days.
Why not just download the latest official ROM from Samfrew.com? Then flash Magisk via TWRP.
There is one that im using which is very very superb,and its oreo it has few bugs like bluetooth but it good,floyed rom for note 5 just google it at this xda

Havoc OS Vs Pixel Experience

After testing many custom ROMs, my two favourites are Havoc OS and Pixel Experience. As these tend to be the most popular for users of mi 8 custom ROMs, I would like to ask the community which one has best stability, battery life and ram management. I do not use my phone for gaming so gaming performance is not really a concern.
I've recently down the rounds on the latest android 10 ROMs.
For me I preferred pixel experience out the 2 you have stated, seemed more stable and more importantly for me android auto was working where as it doesn't currently in havoc. Havoc does have more customisations though.
Havoc has just released an update which I'm yet to try, but for the time being I'm back to the latest Xiaomi EU ROM weekly, as it's rock solid. I will give the aosp builds a couple of months and to get android 10 stable and try them again.
This is all based on my experience / phone usage, so what works for me, may not be right for you

For me xiaomi eu was brilliant, but regarding battery life (which is ageing in my unit - it's from 09.2018), eu was not giving me enough to survive without recharging. On Aosp it's still 30% when only 15% on eu. I use EvoX currently, as it has least issues and glitches, and it's the only rom apart from Eu where all my banking apps work. I think you can only find the answer between your two Roms, if you find someone who switch between them after at least few days of usage.
Well, I'm using Havoc and it seems very nice. I prefer it to Pixel Experience because you can customize every single thing, but both are good. Very good battery life, about 7h screen on time. If you're looking for a MIUI Based rom with a good battery life, I recommend RevOS MIUI, it will surprise you.

Do you regret updating to Android 10 - If so why?

My phone is super stable on Android 9 and has been on it for almost 7 months now.
Any particular reason that I should go for Android 10 ?
Using stock Android 10 with no complaints since 2 months. No noticeable glitches, never crashed, no slowdowns actually better battery life than A9 for me.
Tencect, 12gb/512gb, unlocked, no root, stock, A10
how about the reason it's newer and better. which is what typically comes with software updates.

Newer is not always the better.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Im still on Android 9 aswell, Ive heard Gaming is better on 9 over 10 and that and A10 is still in Beta right now right?
Works wonderful for me on android 10
Pretty much on A10 since it comes. No issues, runs smoothly. Added just Kirisakura Kernel.

wrong A11 is almost ready and A10 is already stable if officially released by the manufacturer for a device (like your rog-phone2)
A10 is better than A9 for me. More stable UI and gaming performance.
Never upgrading to A10 or even A11 in future!
I have witnessed absolute nightmare performance when I was on A10. The latest A9 ( build which is from December) is imo the best build ever.
- Amazing gaming performance
- Nice Battery life
- Never crashes/lags
A9 is way better overall. Better battery, smoother UI, no random slowdowns, no random freezes with Google chorme. Just try it, your experience may differ than mine.

USA Android 12 update - good or not good?

I've seen many threads about people asking how to go back to A11 on their phones from A12... in many cases, this should be possible since the BL version hasn't changed on the latest A12 update (versus the previous A11 one).
That said, has anyone taken the update to A12, and are they reasonably happy with it? I imagine it has been a while, so maybe it's not that bad (and maybe there are just a few people who are unhappy with it - complaints often are louder than complements, as we know).
Lastly, is there a way to block the update popup on a stock un-rooted phone? I worry that eventually it will popup and I'll mistakenly click the download button...
I know at least 3 People with Android 12 on Samsung Devices and they say it runs great. Two of them are Galaxy s20FEs with Snapdragon Chipsets and one is an S10e with Exynos.
I've S10+ and A12 works good.
The downgrade is possible, I've already done it to test performance.
It seems that A12 is more conservative to performance, when it's like 40%underbattery I ran Geekbench and obtained much less big scores. On Android 11 it's better, and all the games works ok without the Optimization by Samsung on A12 and One UI 4
