my problems with camera/gallery and bluetooth are now gone (Nearby service kept closing), but new problem - media volume. To watch youtube/netflix or listen to spotify through phone speakers I have to have the volume almost at max and it plays at a volume level that used to be maybe at 1/4 of the volume bar. And weird distort in the sound is there as well when I move it to 3/4 or higher.

Anybody else having the same issue with volume?

Try this if you are Rooted,sound is too low on Pie,i use this and its perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] londonhilton:
thanks, but this did not do a thing. No change whatsoever... and when I checked those files, 15db gain is maybe even way too much. But no. Before I dirty flashed the csa2 it worked OK, and the csa2 afaik should not touch volume at all, it was rather small update. Before I will do a clean flash I would like to hear from others, if I am the only one with the issue then clean flash is worth the try.

I noticed a good WiFi performance boost brought by Pie. For example, there were quite a lot buffering when I was watching 4K content from NAS with Oreo, but with Pie, there is almost none buffering.

This ROM is stable and fast, nothing extra. I like it.

Hello people, hello Alexandr. Under Oreo (S2ARL3-Dev-Base), it has with oncoming call from the land line the respective city displayed. Android 9 (U2CSA2-Dev-Base) has no caller info. Can anybody confirm this? I tested both a clean install and a dirty install.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] phoenX80:
Any luck with viper? Might fix your loudness issue as well.

Else everything seems to work. I think the design is a big step to the worse although I appreciate the one hand approach. Oreo is prettier.

I adapted to gesture navbar fast and love the all time full screen. But ergonomics wise it is slower.

So should I flash stock oreo & then flash your oreo 6.0 rom or just flast bootloader matching to your ROM ?

do let me know ???

Thread has been updated for N960N (Korean)

, U2CSA1 (Pie) DevBase v6.0 (January security patches, changelist 15092810) :cool:

Dirty flash over my Oreo DevBase ROM SHOULD WORK WITHOUT ISSUES but before you try - I would highly recommend you to set default (stock) theme and default (stock) icons !!! However - I would recommend you clean install (Wipe -> Swipe to Factory Reset is enough)

Download ROM:

SM-N960N (Korean):

(you can find bootloader in my updated repository, but BL update is not mandatory)

Known problems with Pie:

- [CLEAN INSTALL] Magisk Manager may not appear after clean install despite Magisk has been installed without errors during install - if you notice that there is no Magisk Manager - DO NOT flash Magisk, it is enough to install Magisk Manager as normall app - use ATTACHMENT (it is original apk from Magisk v18.0)

- OEM unlock toggle seems to be disabled in the Developer Options but it is not true (otherwise you would not be able to use TWRP and this ROM). It is side effect of protection I put in the kernel against "KG State: Prenormal" in the DM mode. It is not real issue, just ignore it.

Differences comparing to Oreo DevBase ROM:

- No AppLock (yet)

- No Xposed (we need to wait for rovo89)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
AppLock for Pie - download attachment, create /system/priv-app/AppLock directory, place attachment inside it and then reboot.

That's all, since this ROM contains necessary line in the proper cscfeature.xml file already :cool:

(next release will contain it on-board)

Viper works if I install it from xda labs - does anyone know of 2.6.0.5 material - I hate the old design.

The most odd thing about Pie is the camera app. I used to be able to record instantly but on Pie I have to switch to video mode first and then press record. Wtf was going on in their minds to make a perfect UI more complicated? Its terrible and I missed one vid of my kids cause of that nonsense.

Could anyone point me how to use the Applock? I dont find any apps or options?

Audio Modification Library + Magisk viper4android doesnt work

xda labs viper4android + Audio Modification Library crashes instantly

Audio Modification Library + xda labs Audio Modification Library works - I have to watch out for it to not vanish again now. Fingers crossed, but I'd like my magisk material viper4android back, the labs one is a UI mess.

Battery life doesnt seem different to me.

PS nvm audio mod library does nit6 help. xda labs viper4android still fails to stays on!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] kgptzac:
I'm not using any audio mods and I don't normally max media volume, and I can see there is some inconsistency with volumes across apps. I then turned on Dolby Atmos and things get more consistent now and I don't feel any need to use any mods over that.

I also like the fact that OEM Unlock is "fake" off and Developer Options can be turned off without system trying to revert it back on (which would cause problems I believe). Some games that are able to see dev options being turned on despite being on magisk hide list could not be run, and I like the current arrangement much better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] phoenX80:
Today the viper4audio from told me that it cant install cause of missing busy box. Installed Busybox pro - but it doesnt stay installed after reboot. Busybox reports its not installed und thus Viper is not installable.

So in the end either this rom or Pie in general is not compatible with viper4audio atm.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Spl4tt:
Makes sense. There should be apps or modules where you can freely switch between permissive and enforced, right? You could use that, as long as the kernel allows that. That way you could also switch back when you're done using dex

Hello,

i have some problem. I installed TWRP and did Wipe/Data Factory Reset on my phone and then i installed the new rom für my n960f.

After installing and reboot the phonescreen is still black...

What can i do? is it bricked?

But if i connect it to my PC, it will be detectet as Samsung device.

Hi, I can't buy anything in the Galaxy Store anymore as the ROM isn't official.

Is there a file from you to flash like before?

I need the store to buy for my Galaxy Watch watchfaces. Sorry, this concerns PIE.

I also don't get a watch update with Custom
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] schnippie:
i maybe solved it...

the screen was black, but i could connect my phone with my PC and installed the Stock Rom with Odin (Download Mode couldn't be startet).

After installing it rebooted and installed the stock rom

but now its working!

If i change the options.prop from xposed=auto to xposed=false then the checksum will be diffrent.

Is this ok or not?

Unfortunately, there is no SysScope.apk in case of Pie anymore so we can't apply usual fix, but...

Here is a different "fix" for Custom -> Official status in Pie :)

>> BL_N960FXXS2ARL3.zip <<

As long as Oreo BL helps for device status - IMO it's not worth to modify ("hack") any of jars and/or apks

BTW. There are no disadvantages related to using Oreo bootloader in case of Pie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] HorstiG:
I feel like my phones are booting with PIE bootloader essential faster. Note 9 is no longer in beta stage.

Maybe it would make sense to adjust the PIE BL, at least with the final version.

But I will testing it, maybe it's just conceit.

Can I flash the BL back without any problems?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
Bootloader has no impact to phone's performance & stability.

Yes, of course, you can flash ANY older bootloader as long as it is still S2/U2 version. You will be able to upgrade it to Pie again at any time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] HorstiG:
Thank you, it works, Device status is official and I notice no difference.

Thanks for the tip, I still hope that you will customize the PIE boot loader once, just for the feeling. :laugh:

[MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION]

i miss in the advanced settings the option for multi window (it worked but I can't change settings) and screen mirroring is not working.

But I don't changed anything.

I only installed an other bootloader because to use Samsung app store.

Is this only a bug on my phone? Or isn't this a bug, is this because of Pie?

And an other problem, if i change options.prop and try to flash the firmware with modified options.prop it ends after reboot from recovery in an "soft" brick. Black screen and no reaction of any key's.... only flashing stock rom with odin (no download mode, only black screen on phone) will bring back my device...

Btw

With my old note4 I uninstalled some Google apps and Facebook. After this screenmirror didn't work (googleapps) and screen rotation don't work (3 lib files from Facebook are important for this, if Facebook is uninstalled and the 3 lib files are on there place by copy bevore uninstall and paste after, it worked again)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
Remove /system/priv-app/FotaAgent

It will be removed in future DevBase releases

I hope you have not modified options.prop INSIDE the ZIP but you placed its modified copy to /sdcard

In case of any problem with / after installation you should add at least /data/devbase_install.log file - otherwise I'm not able to guess what went wrong at all

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] schnippie:
I changed the options.prop inside the zip. Thats the reason for the black screen after reboot from twrp.

Now your great pie rom is running on my device. Thank you for this.

After several tries these are my results.

The multi window option disappear by upgrading from oreo to pie (also in stock rom).

The Samsung appstore (for Watchface) work with your pie custom rom with pie bl (Germany).

And now screen mirror is also working (but I don't know why it wasn't before).

After some fails I started with oreo stock -> pie stock with OTA-> alexndr custom pie without modifications by myself.

I'm missing only the rSAP for bluetooth. But this is caused by Samsung. They activate this only for single sim models.

Is it possible to force Second Sim Card slot to LTE Only with this Rom? And can i change both Sim Card slots independently? After not finding any Solution without Root to Force Sim Slot 2 to LTE Only I think i can only do it with a custom rom.

Or is there any hidden Code which works without root to enter the Phone Information 2 (second Sim slot) and force LTE only also on the second Sim?

For the first Sim it's working also without rooting. Any Tip would be great!

EdXposed for Pie

I wonder if someone can point out if I'm doing something wrong or is it something I should just wait for.

I have been following the github for EdXposed and they recently closed the bug for Samsung claiming it works.

So I tried it with this Rom (Pie) and it still doesn't work so I had to revert back to Oreo version.

Hi

I try to use Apps like Samsung Phone Information or Shortcut Master for some Secret Codes and Service Mode. Even After Granting Superuser Access nothing is Opening with Root Access.

I have used this in the Past with all my Phones. I just need to get Access to The band Selection so i can test Some LTE Bands independently like Band 3 or 7.

I am Using last Alex Pie Rom with January Security and Latest Magisk 18.1

Also if i try to use some Secret Codes Manually in the Dialer they won't open. I am on DBT CSC.

I also tryed to find EFS/Carrier for the Hidden Menu Option but there is no Carrier Folder in EFS.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
I'm not sure if it help you a bit (never tried to force/test exact band), but there is also a possibility to run a RF part of service mode via *#0011#

No plans, for same reason why I haven't updated CSA2 -> CSA7

I will consider to release "final" Oreo DevBase if Samsung will release Oreo stock ROM containing January security patches
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Da-BOSS:
Thank you for letting me know... I guess I will do it by myself then ;) I plan to stay with OREO for a long time.. since everything is working great so.... I have this concept... if ain't broken don't fix it :fingers-crossed:

Performance +battery + xposed + goodlock= wonderfulness ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] yaesudx:
Yes i know the code but it's not possible to activate service mode on dbt normally. With *#0011# I can go to servicemode but you are not able to run it. For this you need to go in menu, back, key input etc and this is not working with this firmware.

That's why I was wondering because with root this was always working. But now with Magisk it behaves different. I think it has to do with the csc. So maybe someone can tell me which csc would have all secret codes anabled and works with Samsung Phone Info App and Root launch.

Again it should work with German dbt (wifi call and VOLTE).

But Anyway the most important is working with this Rom and this it that in both Sim Slots you can switch to LTE Only independently! This is not possible by default because only the main Sim 1 slot is able to force LTE Only.

If i want to try new CSC do I have to reflash the firmware without a Sim inserted because I didn't saw any aroma installer where I could choose my csc at installation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] _alexndr:
There is no Aroma in this ROM, but there is still a possibility to force CSC during install :) It is well enough explained in post #1

Example: to force CSC BTU (despite your current CSC is DBT) it is enough to rename ZIP file before flashing:
