[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Rainbow_Dash:
Pixel Experience ROM for the Galaxy Note9​

What is this?

This it not a GSI. It is built on actual device trees

What's working/not working?

First up:

-Sometimes after setting the brightness to maximum, it doesn't want to lower its value and gets stuck. is fixed only by a reboot.

-HWC is disabled

-The signalbar always shows 0, altho calling and data have no issue and should work as intended.

Instructions:

Make sure TWRP has been installed and functional.

Make sure you are on the CSA2 based vendor and fw

Download the latest build linked below

Reboot to recovery

Wipe system, data and cache from the wipe menu

Flash the rom zip(and gapps). DONT flash gapps. they are already included in the rom.

Reboot and enjoy :victory:

Troubleshooting/FAQ:

Q: Videos aren't playing on youtube

A: Make sure you don't have any kind of adblock installed

Q: I'm on a dualsim variant and (a) sim isn't detected.

A: Try reinserting your sim and rebooting. This wierdly nuff only happens on some* dualsim variants and no one has sent me a logcat yet.

Q: My mobile data (3G/4G) is not working/only 3g shows

A: Go into mobile network settings and select/create an apn, also select 4G as the preferred network type.

Q: How does this compare to GSIS?

A: Much better all around. Faster,smoother etc. I don't think there's any reasons to use pie gsis anymore.

Q: How good is the camera?

A: Actually,(by my standards), pretty good. Almost comparable to stock. Ofc the aosp cam doesn't have the fancy filtering, features and stuff but by far not bad. Alot better than 8.1 roms anyway.

Q: Safetynet doesn't pass?

A: Yeah, i guess that's a thing. Go into magisk and download some module called props hide or something. Don't forget to run it from terminal. It should work from there

Q: The rom isn't booting/camera doesn't work

A: Flash/make sure you have the CSA2 vendor and fw, and try again. This has been tested. It's prolly something on ur end.

Q: The rom is in a bootloop/google apps keep crashing

A: You did read the instructions and NOT flash any gapps riighhttt?? smh, wipe /system,/data and /cache and start over

Q: I have another bug; How can i tell it to you while slightly increasing my changes of it ever getting fixed.

A: You can tell me what's going on either here or on telegram WITH A LOGCAT attached(required);if rom isn't booting at all attach /proc/last_kmsg.

Q: I don't know what/how to logcat. Is it really necessary?

A: Logcat or gtfo

Q: How can i support you?

A: Awwww thanks; On most of my posts on the left side there's a "donate to me" paypal button;. Send the seal some fish. Seriously. The seal realllyyyyy loves fish. You can do that,donations are more than welcome, or if you don't have any $ to spare you can also post here about how awesome i am (this surprisingly helps very much)
