You can use secure folder using smali patcher. - https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-smali-patcher-0-7-t3680053

I have done this post encryption.It works.

1.u have to keep knox apps in order for smalipatcher to work. In the DEVBASE zip file(ie the rom u intend to flash) there is an options.prop file u have to open it using notepad(extract it first) and delete these lines given below the debloat list -

/system/*app/SecureFolder*

/system/app/SecurityLogAgent

/system/priv-app/Fast

/system/priv-app/KnoxCore

/system/priv-app/Rlc

2.BE careful to not put this options.prop file back in the zip, just copy this file on the same destination (sd card) and flash the file. Now the knox apps wont be debloated

3.Download build.prop editor and change

ro.config.iccc_version=3.0 to ro.config.iccc_version=iccc_disabled (USE FIND OPTON)

ensure ro.config.tima=0

4.enable developer options and run smalipatcher THROUGH PC

5.a magisk module is created,flash it through magisk - Secure folder will work now

6.every time u install u need that options.prop file otherwise knox apps will be removed n u will lose secure folder while updating.

In any case while u update take a backup of secure folder to be safe :)

this rom is amazing ,Thank you so much!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] mohzine:
thank you

I wanted to try your method but I can not find an option.prop file in the .zip file of the link you quoted.

can I find it elsewhere?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Blackdranzer:
Options.prop is present in the Devbase zip file,ie the rom file u intend to flash.not in the smali patcher.

Smali patcher is a tool that is to be run on PC once u connect ur phone through USB debugging

U need to tick the Samsung Knox option in the patcher.

Run it as admin or it won't work

The zip file made after the completion of smali patcher is a magisk module that can be flashed through magisk.

I'm not going to perform physical modifications in the framework/apps for stability reasons.

But... Starting from the next build - above build.prop change (ro.config.iccc_version=3.0 to ro.config.iccc_version=iccc_disabled) will be applied by default in DevBase :cool: (for those who will decide to enable Secure Folder via Smali Patcher)

In this unique ROM concept (flashing partition's images instead of unpacking files/dirs) it is just not possible due to differences in partitions sizes. Please use dedicated build for N960N

As above, I'm not going to perform physical modifications in the framework/apps (like power menu) for stability reasons

As usual -

you can dirty flash it over previous version

Download ROM:

SM-N960F/DS:

NOTE1: If you are on Pie or older bootloader, then after flashing the ROM it is mandatory to flash also Android Q bootloader - otherwise device will not boot with Android Q based ROM!

NOTE2: It is highly recommended to use TWRP 3.2.3.0 (e.g. THIS build). For some reason there is "make_ext4fs: not found" error in newer TWRP versions and in result "Failed! Not enough space..." appears while applying CSC (CSC content will be incomplete). Note 9 is the only device with this issue and I'm not able to play with it because I do not have N960F device phisically. More info HERE

NOTE3: If you want to perform clean install with encryption - it is highly recommended to use TWRP 3.2.3.0 to format /data. More info about bug with TWRP 3.3.1.x - HERE

reboot to download

Hi

I have an issue with the Q update.

my phone keeps booting to download mode after restart.

I dirty flashed the q file over the previous latest devbase and afterwards flashed the bl file.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I flashed both w. TWRP 3.2.3.0 and also tried rebooting to system from TWRP with no luck
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
use magisk uninstaller and then try dirty flashing again... you have magisk modules not compatible with Andorid Q or Magisk 20.2
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] h0tkey:
Thanks for the Q update!

Upon installing it, I got 'Failed! Not enough space...' in the 'Installing CSC package' step. As a result, I didn't get the CSC feature patches. Any ideas what could have gone wrong and how to diagnose it further or fix it? My CSC is SER.

UPD: I tried to force a different CSC (namely SKZ) with the ZIP name and got the same result, 'Failed! Not enough space...'

Anyone knows how to fix youtube vanced being stuck on this screen all the time?

Edit: Seems like i have issues while uploading a screenshot...

Well its just stuck on the youtube vanced logo when you startup the app and thats it.

A part from that everything works fine, so great job for the fist stable android 10 rom! :svetius:

Even though i hope there is a way to fix this, i have tried many things but it stills hangs on that screen and stops working after a while, its kind of a deal breaker for me :(

I was unable to dirty flash Android Q over an encrypted Android pie install. After wiping and clean installing it seems to work, though I am unsure if I will get back my TMB csc since TekHD is gone.

Even when installing Android Q as noroot and encrypt it fails to boot. As of now I cannot get it working encrypted.

Seems like a nice smooth rom.

What happens then is I end up with empty (zero bytes) /odm/omc/___/conf/cscfeature.xml and a /odm/omc/___/conf/cscfeature.xml.bak in the same directory (where ___ is the CSC I forced). Also, Phone INFO shows empty CSC CODE / Active CSC Code and empty Available CSC codes. No CSC feature patches are applied even if I rename cscfeature.xml.bak to cscfeature.xml. I've also tried flashing the ROM with both TWRP r3.6 and r3.7-q.

I believe something is going wrong with my CSC. Has anybody encountered anything like this? [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] I'd appreciate your help.

UPD: here's the relevant part of the installation log:

UPD2: I've finally managed to overcome this by flashing the ROM with the TWRP 3.2.3 (this one has make_ext4fs, unlike the r3.6 and r3.7 build I had tried), just in case anyone faces it too.

Sorry for bothering you folks.

Hi,

I managed to do an 'encrypted update'. My steps were as follows:

1) Flash TWRP 3.3.1-3.7-q

2) Install the bootloader package for U4DSLB

3) Immediately reboot into recovery (Hold the keycombo when the updater forces reboot)

4) Rename the firmware file to add _encrypt

5) Flash firmware

6) Reboot and enjoy! :)

Flashing the ATO CSC also failed for me with the not enough storage error but it seemingly didn't interfere.

I don't claim that this works generally, I just decided to give it a try since I didn't want to wipe my phone.

I also don't know if adding _encrypt is even necessary.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-note-9-exynos-t3833933

Don't get me wrong - it is not because I don't like Arteush's work, but for unknown reason the N960F is the only device with "make_ext4fs" / "Failed! Not enough space..." issue during flash. I just don't have a possibility to play with this issue because I do not have N960F physically

There is no such issue with G965F (S9+) - no matter which TWRP we are using (even with Android Q)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Gandicela:
Ever since I must be with TWRP 3.2.3.0; every other versions i tried just failed for many reasons especially boot loop. Very likely I suspect because of encryption, as I MUST have encryption. I can't prove/disprove it is the absolute reason, but TWRP 3.2.3.0 simply works for me - since DevBase v5.9 to DevBase v7.0.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jgoorn:
This worked for me and I was able to do it without losing any of my data!!!

I updated to the new TWRP and used the encrypt flag on the zip. It took about 10 minutes to encrypt and then rebooted and worked perfectly!

About 5-10 min, for me it did not feel long.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] jgoorn:
Cool, it took about 12 minutes for me and I was able to force encrypt without losing all my data.

I have prepared an update for those who (despite my recommendations) are using unofficial TWRP 3.3.x.x to flash this ROM

Please let me know if "Failed! Not enough space..." error still appears during flash

Since I do not have N960F physically and N960F is the only device with such issue - it is the only one iteration to try to find a workaround

If you had "Failed! Not enough space..." message during flash - please try this version:

This is what I used

Android Q - WETA

https://drive.google.com/file/d/10PpVy7rrWJe080AWg9zT47rmu60b_myU/view?usp=drivesdk

(Flash in Magisk Manager)

So far, it seems this zip works on all 9th and 10th gen devices. Some giving a 0.0.0.0 carrier config but that will be worked on. Below is how the module works so there is a better understanding of fixing failures.

By flashing the module in Magisk Manager, it will detect which type of system you have and flash the USA carrier omc folders to your partition. Not removing anything. It will then backup and set your mps_code.dat omcnw_code.dat and omcnw_code2.dat files to the carrier you selected. Your efs partition will also be backed up. There will also be a magisk module with various system files in place on reboot.

If you flash, and decide you want to revert, simply reflash and select don't install, this will restore your original mps_code.dat value. Then just remove the module in magisk manager. System files are installed as a magisk module.

--->

This is the guide I followed thank you WETA Note 9. I was able to flash a magisk module to get VoLTE working (WiFi calling worked fine with the ROM anyway for TMB CSC)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
This is not even technically possible in case of normally booted system-as-root devices. You must learn to live with it.

If you have a few system apps that you always delete after flashing this ROM - then I would recommend you to store your custom options.prop file in /sdcard or /external_sd. These apps will be always deleted during install, according to your custom removal list in options.prop. For more info see post #1 or just look into the options.prop file (you will find its pattern in the ZIPs root directory)

There is no AppLock for Android Q, AFAIK. I will put AppLock back as soon as it will be available

Can I Flash It ?

Hello guys.

Can I install this rom on my current build?

Image:

I have attached an image of my software information menu below.

My Device:

Model: SM-N960N

Kernel: Zeus Kernel link (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/development/kernel-zeus-kernel-t3962674)

TWRP: twrp-3.3.1-r3.6-crownlte (also downloaded from the Zeus Kernel link above)

Root Magisk: Magisk-v20.2 (also downloaded from the Zeus Kernel)

Notice:

My device was originally stock CSC LUC.

But then, to remove the bloat and carrier boot welcoming splash screen, I flashed the Unlocked Version KOO firmware over my original stock via odin (BL, AP, CP, CSC, and USERDATA) .

I got the KOO firmware from Sammobile with version N960NKSU3CSJ1_N960NOKR3CSJ1_LUC

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation Method?

If I can flash this Custom Rom, then do I just go into TWRP, and flash the zip, and that's all?

I don't need to format/wipe/factory reset the device in order for it to boot?

What is the best method to install this?

CSC:

During installation method, do I have to reinstall my device's original CSC provider LUC, or choose KOO that I currently have flashed right now,

or just use the "Keep current CSC" option that was metioned during the installation proccess?

Reason For Installing This ROM:

Currently, I'm having issues with the camera app.

Whenever I go past 2x zoom function, the phone's camera starts to vibrate continuously and it results in blurred and distorted ugly images.

It also applies to Recording videos, when your zooming more than 1x, and the Live Focus mode (just as you choose that mode, it starts to vibrate and become blurred)

Factory Reset and clearing camera app data force stopping didn't work either.

So I'm hoping that installing this Custom Rom will fix the Camera issue..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Stucko:
I am currently using the latest DevBase Pie build with encrypted data partition, Geiti's TWRP 3.2.3-0 and a very old bootloader because I deliberately never updated it. I read through all the posts but before I mess something up I am asking for confirmation:

1. dirty flash Android Q DevBase with TWRP

2. flash DSLB_bootloader.zip

3. restart - encryption and data is still there?

It says that the newest BL is mandatory, is there no way at all to keep the old BL with working DevBase Q? I am asking because newer BL often came with restrictions to go back to previous ROMs so why flash it if you only get disadvantages and no pros...
