Hmmm maybe i'm miss understanding what vendor does, vendor.img has nothing to do with CSC for example, this image contains proprietary blobs/drivers for the specified phone model right ? So flashing yours doesn't change anything. My bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dr.ketan:
As far as I know there is no difference in vendor if device model is same, even I haven't heard single issue reported on cross device too. For example hundreds of users using N960F vendor on N960n without any issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Fox-Warrior:
Thanks for the explanations :), should i flash yours instead of "mine + Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt" ? Does it contains other tweaks ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dr.ketan:
I recommend to flash vendor included in rom zip. It is always recommended to match system & vendor in case of non matching it may cause Samsung accounts issues or lockscreen password loop (you are not able to unlock lockscreen). Usually this happens when system and vendor are from different base.

Hi All,

Just need some suggestion, recommendations, reviews regards to the Android Q rom in general. Is it worth upgrading? WIth the enchancements comparing with Android Pie. Just me being discourage for reformatting. reinstalling. setting up each and individual app...

I don't mean Dr. Ketan's rom. Btw kudos to you Dr.ketan have been using your rom since Note 4.

secure check fail bootloader

hey I followed the steps but when you said you will be in a bootloop and now should flash bootloader there I got this error "secure check fail bootloader" and odin fails?

I tried bootloader of pie but they are giving me same error.

Any suggestions?

Flashing on N960F/DS
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Techvir:
[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] FYI: My sd card disappeared from file manager app after many days with no issues.

I did install the stock Samsung ROM using odin and then flashed your rom. Seems like this is not a complete fix for this issue. However, it has happened only once in more than a week.

Of course reboot fixed it.

I have no idea what caused it to disappear but will keep an eye out for anything that might trigger it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] bandario:
Definitely worth doing it in my opinion. You can use samsung backup tool to make putting your apps back on a lot easier. Don't use MIGRATE app from play store with Android Q unless you know what you are doing; it's still not fully compatible.

For me the major improvements are handling of bluetooth audio and better battery life as well as letting you use Samsung DEX over USB-C.

On Ketan Q03 with stock kernel I have seen up to 3 full days of normal use for me which admittedly is very low screen-on time but plenty of bluetooth streaming and a few phone calls etc. It's easily the fastest and most stable version of Dr Ketan ROM for me, with best battery life and all the usual Dr. K touches. Very nice job.

Negatives of Android Q: The new battery stats / manager app absolutely stinks. Almost useless. You'll have to get a third party option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dhondooo:
So I have fixed it by flashing N960N BL file.

But I installed the rom of N960F and previous one was also N960F and it says model N960F.

But in Rom tools bootloader was n960nksu2cse3 which is for N960N.

Anyways thanks for the ROM

No idea, I don't play with my phone all day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dhondooo:
now everything is working except the sim cards.

I think its the CSC file tried to flash it through odin but it say "Invalid Magic String ( Cache )".

flashed successfully Q CSC files from Korean ROM

but sim cards still not working which CSC should I be trying. Any ideas

first screenshot is prior to installing all the roms

It was running p03 android pie version

now it's on android Q03 version of this ROM

I can't login did you convert to F2FS?

I flashed TWR 3.3.1 flash kernel and magisk but can't log into phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] blixer:
Maybe you have forgotten to flash magisk in TWRP directly afterwards. I'm using 3.2.3-0.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:
I did before booting boot.img to boot and magisk zip magisk 20.3 yes? Then boot system, can't login
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] blixer:
I never had any problems with 3.2.3-0 TWRP and never converted data.

Magisk 20.3 is running flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:

I want a fully encrypted device. I read the instruction linked in the first post, but it's not very clear. Has anyone tried getting encryption working after installing rooted Q, Magisk modules and lots of apps? What's the order of things to be done to encrypt without losing any data? Can I just backup boot.img from where I'm now, then flash stock boot and no-verity, encrypt, then flash back to the backup? Will that work? What if I'm on Zeus kernel?

Does this ROM support F2FS??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] bandario:
I didn't have any luck when trying. Ended up with a big fat mess. Some people are saying there are issues with using F2FS for Q based roms because of changes to the way that fstab is handled: no longer in ramdisk and only mounts as ext4.

Having said all that, I don't fully understand the benefits of running F2FS? Speed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dr.ketan:
I know reason for what you are asking. I have seen you are getting issue unlock device after flashing custom Kernel right?

I want to run dr.ketans rom with Zeus's kernel. Is it possible or not?

If yes pls explain and if not I can wait for new release of dr.ketan ROM with updated ramdisk.

Finally after 4 days of breaking my phone, and restoring, trying all kinds of crazy things I got Zeus's kernel stable running on Q03 without installing devbase, stock modem, stock kernel, alexndr devbase, dirty flash anything, clean flash anything... you get my point but only rather a simple zip fix from dr.ketan.

Phone runs great smooth and super fast, stable only 3 hours tho keeping my fingers crossed [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Samsung account work! Screen lock works perfectly with pin, fingerprint and biometrics

Finally....

Thanks dr.ketan

I have the zip fix from dr.ketan but I let him explain how to do it and post it.

If you want to run custom Q kernel on Q03 now you can!!

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dr.ketan:
I have posted lock screen issue fix for custom kernel for Q03

How to use?

If you want to use any other kernel other than one packed with rom, you need this fix

- Download custom kernel fix from rom download area

- Flash desired kernel

- Reboot twrp (Don't reboot to system)

- flash fix

Done!

Keep holding vol down +power

As soon as device reboot, press vol down + Bixby

UPDATE

Yesterday evening I was able to successfully flash Zeus kernel stable on Q03

Everything seems very smooths and fast, battery life seems a bit better after tweaking CPU cores but I don't really care much about it. However after an hour or so phone rebooted instantly, upon reboot Sdcard not installed. Rebooted and sd card was there like nothing happened, 3 hours later same thing... this morning my phone started to slow down tremendously browsers keep being unresponsive or crash, and couple of minutes the phone froze completely had to hard reboot.... directly into recovery and flashed the latest BL release from my country stock ROM as the modem and CSC is identical to the one I have...you can see in the pic.

I really doubt this is a bootloader issue or ROM - ** Q03 was very stable for me once I flashed Q CSC never lag, random reboots or freezes **

I think it could be some incompatibility between the kernel and ROM or maybe the kernel has a bug with SD card since I saw other people having the same issue.

Anyone else on Q03 with Zeus kernel having this issues?

I have great fate in da_boss as a developer and very sure he will fix it.

I'm also wondering about what dr.ketan has to say, maybe he knows about the issue even tho I doubt he test custom kernels...

Thank you guys...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dr.ketan:
I don't use custom kernel so no idea about it. Who have issue related to SD card on this ROM have reported fixed by flashing Stock Q ROM and later flash Q* ROM.

I have nothing do in this regards. What Fix (lockscreen issue) I have provided is known bug and happens if you flash kernel that have different base than ROM, fix doesn't do anything more than this. Any issue that appeared after flashing something that is not part of ROM, you better to post in appropriate place to get better support.

I have a RAM management problem. I have the 6GB version and when I start opening a lot of tabs in a browser there comes a moment when memory monitors start showing about 1,5GB left. At that point, the browser still opens and doesn't unload any tabs, but the system brutally shuts down everything else, even music players and One UI Home. There's still over 1GB RAM left per information from various monitoring apps (Cool Tool, 3C Toolbox). This is unacceptable. I've even modified OOM values to very low ones. Locking the apps in the recent list doesn't help. What's wrong here?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dr.ketan:
ROM doesn't have it's own mechanism or modification to interfere ram management. ROM contains stock kernel by Samsung, if you find any issue with it, may write to Samsung.

Hi Dr

is your ROM different from ONE UI 2.0?

And

I'll install your ROM without removed Folder in Internal Storage , and how?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] LVArturs:
Yeah, I figured it might be a kernel configuration. Still, it's pretty mad to kill off mostly everything when there's still 1,5GB left. I'd understand if it was at 500MB, but before that it's just too early.

I'm using Firefox (because I like add-ons - user agent changers, blockers, embedded media downloaders, proxy managers, scripting add-ons, page background changers to black, cookie editors etc.). It might be the browser, but my guess would be that if any app pushes the system until the 1,5GB border, then things start getting killed. It still allows the foreground app to occupy more memory from that point, but everything else it deems nonessential goes. Isn't there a mechanism to give some other apps very high priority? Maybe I should make my music player a system app. Is there a way to make an app permanently foreground, even when it's technically not?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:
I see, try Samsung internet for a day or 2 just to troubleshoot the problem, then see if no problem try chrome, don't have to use it just to try it.

Else I would look into firefox maybe it's a setting or just poor memory management, maybe not optimized for Q, could also be bug in browser... if you use stock kernel I highly doubt it's a kernel issue.

Good luck

After 2 days of testing this Zeus kernel only instability and problems don't even care what it is anymore... seriously I'm so fed up with it.

I've been on this ROM since P13 came out not a single problem once this Zeus kernel flashed phone rebooted every hour because sdcard I flashed new BL fixed that but now phone freezes every couple of hours loose mic and speakers for minutes while in games with my friends and becomes unresponsive to the point of having to hard reboot

Just an unfinished buggy kernel. My phone never had this problems since I ever got it, maybe I don't know how to properly configure this kernel I used Zeus kernel and really loved it on PIE but I don't want to configure nothing I just want an optimized kernel that works not something with millions of settings I must read for a decade to optimize myself.

I'm done with custom kernels!

Update

2 days since being back on stock kernel released with Q03 and phone is super fast, no freeze, no lag, never rebooted, actually it never had those problems before flashing the custom kernel.

What you loose from custom kernel is:

battery life is not as good on stock kernel

Overclocking or underclooking CPU

Faster optimized speed

I believe there is a new version of Zeus kernel released that claim has fixed many bugs, memory managment as well as random reboots.... Anyone here on Q03 use it?

If yes please let me know how it performs.

I will try it again when dr.ketan release Q04 but if any of you here use Zeus kernel please let me know how it is...

Dear Dr. Ketan I would highly appreciate & glad if you plz take up a minute to reply my post. I bought a brand new Samsung galaxy note 9 exynos from a shop on October 2019, As I came back home (500 km) I noticed it was an unlocked version with dual sim, the software installed was Samsung one ui 1.0 & the android security patch was from 1st Jan 2019, The device was rooted and magisk was installed so I tried to install a custom recovery(twrp) and intented to flash a custom rom myself(I know the basics) but failed, also tried to install the official os from Samsung from sammobile but on both attempt it asked to unlock OEM, (it was visible no issues there) after confirming & allowing a reset popup the oem was still locked and it still is after several attempt... Then I noticed an option Se for Android status is enforcing (image) Dr.Ketan rom was written there... I called the seller he told me it was an unlocked version & to unsure the both sim service they made some tweaks else 1 sim would be available. Now Sir could you help me & plz advice me how can i bypass the situation & flash your Custom Rom as the distance is too much for me... I searched a lot to solve the problem but couldn't find the right one... Thanks for your time and everyone reading...If any additional info required I'm ready to give them...
