Hi. So here's what I need to do. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9(Qualcomm processor), and I'd like to install LineageOS with microG OS on it, whether it means installing the base version, signature spoofing, then installing microG, or using the prebuilt version with microG included. Either way, while I do have experience with computers, Linux, and the terminal, I have zero experience in the world of smartphone modifications and customizations, so quite a bit of handholding may be needed. Thank you. I would not say no to rooting the phone in the process.
TL;DR:
I need to install LineageOS + microG on a Note 9, and if possible, root the phone.
I have no experience in modding phones.

Now that we can unlock the bootloader and root the galaxy tab a T510 It would be cool to see custom roms developed for it
I would love to see AOSP android running on the T510
Is there anyone in the custom rom development able to do
Does nobody want to see a custom rom on this device
I'm Interested too !! A debloated Rom please !!!!!
I posted my TWRP build here, so I'm hoping that enables more custom ROM development for the SM-T510. Unfortunately, my initial attempts with GSIs were unsuccessful, even with NoKnox to disable most of the Samsung security features. Seems I'm still missing something, but Galaxy S10 owners have had some success after making minor changes to the generic image.
Has anyone tried this GSI guide for the Galaxy A8, which shares the same Exynos 7885? It's got the rw-system.sh fix noted above.
I may purchase.this very soon. I have high hopes for this device getting lineage
Would love to see a custom firmware release as there's only a 32 bit version of android and I'd like to get 64 bit support. Great little tablet aside from that downside
Interesting note here in the @phhusson's Treble Wiki:
Why should I use GSI for A/B devices to some A-only devices? : On Android 9, Google changed the requirements and all devices shipped with Android 9 must use "system-as-root". Before this change, only A/B devices were system-as-root and GSI name was separated by A-only and A/B. For this historical reasons, you have to use GSI for A/B on the devices shipped with Android 9+.
So, I'm thinking that we should be using ARM for A/B...and not many custom GSI ROMs are built for that target.
Okay, I had some limited success with the latest AOSP 9.0 GSI build from @phhusson. The note above from his Wiki was spot on: We need an ARM A/B configuration for the SM-T510/T515...which is unfortunately a rare combination. You must also this updated /system/bin/rw-system.sh script. I used the build with GApps (system-arm32_binder64-ab-gapps-su.img.xz), but this generates a ton of error notifications because the device is not Play Protect certified.
We're getting much closer, though.
Okay, here's a quick-n-dirty custom ROM build based on the AOSP 9.0 GSI mentioned above: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-nexus-stock-2019-galaxy-tab-10-1-t3944222/
I'm searching for some custom ROM for my Xiaomi mi 9 lite with good optimization and better functions than MIUI 12 have. So far I was thinking between Evolution X and Bliss ROM but I would like something more pixel-like. I know that there is the Pixel experience ROM but for this model of phone there is only fan version of it and from past, I don't have good experience installing unofficial ROMs, the same goes for LineageOS.
I would also like to use Netflix, mobile bank, and these things so functional safetynet would be big plus. I am willing to "hack" it through Magisk. I am also fine with installing google apps through sideloading them from open gapps.
Thanks for all help and tips.

Hello ValiantFan771. I have a question, what version of Android do you want on your device? I ask you this because I have many custom ROMs from Android 10 to Android 12.

[CLOSED] I will be getting an OnePlus 7T instead
My phone broke recently and im planning to buy a Pixel 5. I couldn't find any tutorial how to root and install Lineage at the same time. I'm fairly new to custom roms and rooting, i've only installed LineageOS once on an old tablet, and never tried rooting any phone.
Anyone could tell me how to do it? I don't care about passing safetynet check, im not gonna install gapps anyways.

Hello,
my friend has a Samsung galaxy note 8 with the model SM-N950F and he was thinking about giving me his phone to install a custom ROM for him, the phone is running stock ROM.
my question is what is the most stable android 12/13 Rom ( AOSP ) that doesn't require rooting and has banking apps and the pen working fine, also what is the latest stable TWARP and Odin that works for that model ( because I had SM-G530h and some Odin versions didn't work with it ).
one more question is it available to go back to Stock ROM once again using Odin like with old Samsung phones and where can I find a trusted source as Sammobile doesn't seem to work for me for some reason?
thanks in advance for your help.

Your question is a contradiction. You're asking whether you can use a custom ROM without root but still pass Play Integrity and other checks? This is not possible. Simply having an unlocked bootloader makes your device fail. To pass Play Integrity and be able to use banking apps, the Universal SafetyNet Fix module is required for use with Magisk. Further, AOSP does not include any of the "frills" that Samsung preloads into their firmware, meaning that not all features may work, including the S Pen. If you want to try AOSP anyway, you can follow my guide here to install an AOSP GSI.
As for returning your device to stock using Odin, yes. Sammobile is a good source, but if it doesn't work for you, you can try Frija or Samfirm.js to download the firmware directly from Samsung's servers.

Frija is faster and I recommend it. SAMMobile forces users to register to their website and limit your DL-speed.
It's not strictly required to use Magisk. Some Custom ROMs by default spoof SafetyNet Attestation to BASIC and don't need Magisk.
But in the case of Custom ROMs like LineageOS (which doesn't spoof/hide the Unlocked Bootloader on purpose!), or Stock OneUI ROM, you do need to use Magisk + "MagiskHide Props Config" Magisk Module and set the fingerprint to Note8. If Note8 isnt available as a fingerprint, use SafetyNet-Fix Module.
Also, I don't use my Note 8 anymore, but we have Custom ROMs for Note8. I see we have LineageOS 20.0. Why use GSIs? They are much more unstable and buggy.

LineageOS is largely developed as a GSI. Yes, in many cases, it is bundled with a device specific kernel as a complete ROM, but for Project Treble compliant devices, a Generic System Image is just that - a single generic system image that does not have any device specific functions and can be used with any kernel on any device. In that regard, the official AOSP GSIs are very stable, and any issues are usually involved with the kernel, not the system image.

To be able to use Banking Apps, the following practices are good.
Passing SafetyNet (you can check this with YASNAC from Play Store).
If you don't pass SafetyNet, use Magisk with one of the 2 modules mentioned above.
You may also need to enable Zygisk, Enforce DenyList, and add your Banking Apps to Magisk DenyList.
I use a Xiaomi Poco F3 with ArrowOS Custom ROM, it already contains patches to force SafetyNet to BASIC, and so I dont need any modules, but only Zygisk, Force DenyList, and add my Banking Apps to the DenyList and reboot ^^

My Xiaomi Poco F3 (2021) supports Treble and GSI's are not at all usable/daily-drivable. Scratchy Sound, Missing Vibration etc..

What GSIs have you tried? I suspect that the device kernel is not fully Treble compliant.

Generic System Image releases | Platform | Android Developers
developer.android.com
The official Googley ones. Tho I don't mind, since I use an AOSP Custom ROM anyway (on my Xiaomi phone). My Note 8 is kept on OneUI 1.0... i miss the "Samsung Experience" dayz.. Yknow, the OS that came after TouchWiz. It had a rather professional-looking boxy design. Don't like the Huge padding and Rounded Corners of OneUI. The modern OneUI versions are also eh. Due to Samsung stuffing additional apps like TikTok and other rubbish as pre-installed apps.

Huh. I've used both the "pure" GSIs from Android CI, as well as the Android Developer GSIs on my Tab A 8.0 with the CUK4 kernel. Everything works like it should. Make sure you're using the correct architecture and bitness for your device - most are arm64 - but in the off case that your Xiaomi isn't ARM, there will likely be a lot of issues.
Remember that while a Treble kernel should run any GSI, you still have to wipe data. You can't go from OEM firmware to GSI or vice versa without a data wipe; that cause a a lot of stability issues.
thanks for the replays and information guys regarding official releases of AOSP ROMs I haven't seen one that is higher than android 9 ( which is mainly the reason why we want to install a higher version due to compatibility issues with the company portal apps ) so any idea what is the most stable ROM for that model running android 10 or above
I want to install Kali Nethunter on my rooted OP3T. How ever the download page says "OnePlus 3/3T (Ten)," Should this work on LineageOS 18.1 despite it being 11? I don't really want to have to wipe and flash a different ROM just to install it, especially since stock ROM only goes to Pie. If so, can anyone give me a fairly up-to-date tutorial on how to install it? I'm currently watching this David Bombal video on how to install it on a 7T, and I am hoping the install instructions would be the same. (yes, I did post this on another OP3T forum, but realised it was the wrong one and am awaiting it to be removed)
Do you have any updates on it? Asking cuz I couldn't find any available LineageOS based on Android 10 to download.

Nah, I've sorta given up on the project. Maybe try and find a LOS 14.1 download? Apparently this uses Ten and works with NetHunter
I discovered 17.1 uses 10 Android, not sure if NetHunter supports it. But few years ago I tried to run NetHunter on not officially supported device, it kinda worked but required LineageOS + generic NetHunter + custom kernel. Maybe it'll work for 3T.
