Interesting .. Is HWC fixed now? :confused:

Nvm just saw your comment on HWC. Hopefully 16 comes sooner then later. Thanks for taking your time to release some new updated Asop goods. :svetius:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Vaughnn:
HWC is not broken on oreo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Hardwell94:
Hell yes !! Thanks to the dev to make it possible ! Just a few questions about the spen before flashing that masterpiece

Are the spen and its features fully compatible with the rom just like the stock one or will I need to do some manipulations to get it ? And how about the spen smoothness in general ?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
The Spen works well and will act like a mouse like it does in all aosp roms, it works to hover it over the screen and sensitivity is good, but the button won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Hardwell94:
Yeah I understand what you mean. Not gonna lie that a bit frustrating. I'm a daily user of the Spen and that's way I was asking for it. I mean almost all its features are there excepting that button.. Anyway I will probably flash that one but do you know if it would be possible to make that button work in the future ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
I highly doubt AOSP will support the bluetooth button charging etc, as it's a samsung specific thing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] that_same_guy:
for the S-Pen, I have been using AOSP rom 8.1

if you love AOSP and have a good reason to flash it, then it is possible to gain back some of the spen features in AOSP, not as smooth as in Sammy's Roms but ok, I posted what i did here, there is even a video showing what I did. it involves root, and xposed, (now ed exposed)

as for the spen bluetooth capability, the Spen is still active and recharges by itself. if you download nRF connect or lightblue apps from playstore, once you click the button you can see the pen as a bluetooth device SPEN (0D27) ZK, through these apps you can even subscribe to the service and get notifications when the button is pressed, so techinically speaking if someone has app development knowledge this can be done easily. to my limited knowledge I documented what I have discovered here

I have suggested to nRF connect App devs if they can have a tasker plugin so we upon a spen button click we can use tasker to make different actions, they reacted positively, the dev mentioned that they might work on it but might take some time since they are short resourced. but been some time since.

I did a funny workaround once, they keep the log in data/data/no.nordicsemi.android.log/databases, so when that file changes you can read the line change and read the button event, and trigger a tasker action.

its doable, just needs a proper dev that works on it. an AOSP spen remote, or even a custom BLE notification tasker plugin if he wants to make it universal and target alot of devices such as smartwatches..

last note: if the spen works funny in landscape, there is a post in the same thread showing how to fix it.

[MENTION=7861769]Synt4x.93[/MENTION] I will flash this rom today.. Thank you for the awesome work..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Tchania:
I wish I weren't a fan of spen features. Stock firmware is hard to mod and there are many complications when it comes to certain magisk modules and (ed)xposed modules but the spen features are very good. I backed up everything and downloaded this rom but then stopped myself from flashing it because I will loose spen features. But I love lineageos but spen but lineage but the pen...

What a dilemma!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] londonhilton:
I am running this for 2nd day, the battery life is really amazing, from all the ROMs I tried definitely the best. I don't have the patience to try the millions of gcam apks to find one that supposedly has also portrait and nightsight working, which I'd love to try, but for now at least the rest of the modes work fine. I don't like the sound all that much, but I also don't like using viper, and actually don't want to be rooted right now because of google pay.

Would it be possible to include the DSP that came with other lineageos builds? The sound is really flat.

I miss the gestures from Pie One Ui, for me it worked really well, and now I tried the xda ones, fluid, and I think one more, but not a very smooth experience. I don't even need gestures, just audo hide of the navbar, any ideas how to achieve that, if that is possible?

nevertheless thanks for the ROM, I was really unhappy with my Note 9, and actually was about to sell it, but will stick a bit longer now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Supracer:
Finally a rom that's worth keeping! I was on one ui for too long and had enough with it, it's buggy, it stutters, bad battery life etc.... This rom with the gcam set to Auto exposure hdr 8 is just fantastic! Thank you so much for the greatest you have provided! It took me a few hours to get the ark2 vendor image so is it possible if you can provide a link to it or if you want I can provide for others? Thank you again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
ARK2 Vendor is on my Mega. Same place the rom is :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
Had some issues with lineage audiofx on the headset profile a few months ago when I last tried so kept it disabled. Will enable it in the next build and see.

Also Lineage has what you want for hiding the navbar :) see attached screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] londonhilton:
yes, thank you, I meanwhile remembered during the day there is extended desktop, I just did not use lineage for quite a time and for some reason thought it is something else. I tried global ON for it but then I had problems waking up the phone, i would hear the unlock sound, but display was off, it took like 30 seconds and several attempts to wake the phone. as soon as I set the global switch off, and just set the rules per app, which anyway is better, in some app I want both hidden, in some only status bar, it works great.

Today I had a lot of phone calls, listened to spotify, even watched couple sitcom episodes in the morning, and battery life is still great, if that percentage can be trusted. Funny enough VLC took 6% for more than an hour of video playback, Spotify for the same amount 11%.

That audiofx would be worth a try.

Great rom, really, for a long time I was not so excited.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Supracer:
How clumsy of me ? my bad sorry and thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] londonhilton:
did I botch my system somehow or is it "known" that Magisk shows cts profile mismatch. I tried unroot, different versions, but it still is there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
Currently I use magiskhideprops and set my fingerprint to the s9+ to pass cts. Not sure on the best way to fix it atm, last time I tried I broke it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Aaren11:
Excellent work OP. You might swing me into reconsidering a Exynos model afterall. Don't suppose anyone has any battery life screenshots to share?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] wangdiam:
I've done the steps to pass safety net but Google Pay still does not work. Does it detect tripped knox?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
It's not a rom issue. Google recently updated Google play services and it seems like that checks for root now. There are workarounds for it :) same issue as stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
This is an average day for me, not too bad but I've had much better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] londonhilton:
magisk module "SafetyPatch" works as well and it is just "one click", install&and be done with it solution. I guess it also fixed why I now was able to see and update Netflix, as before I had to download apk. So all well now. I tried also the ainur modules, jamesdsp and the other one, did not work really.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Leeum:
You have to downgrade your Google Play services to v15.0.90 and disable background data access to Google Play Services. Also make sure you are on Latest Magisk 19.0 aswell. Only issue i have is it keeps auto updating when i connect to WiFi
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
I tried that workaround but had the same issue. I just clear gms data from /data/data reboot and quickly set up Gpay and seems to work every time for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Leeum:
Yeah it worked for me for a day or so then i try and it says can't use in shops. Lucky i had my card on me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] londonhilton:
guyus, does lineage support unlocking with PIN that does not require hitting OK once you enter correct PIN but would rather unlock automatically?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] eduardo193:
I think you can put lock screen to none and use another custom lock screen that supports this if it don't support it. :cowboy:

Hello, do you happen to know if this rom can support the use of dual sim?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
when it is better than oreo, 9/10 hours sot every single day on this rom, really cant beat it for my usage currently.

someone did pm me saying it worked but i havent seen it myself so try it at your own risk, wont brick your phone or anything just get ready to restore a backup if it doesnt work.

let me know if it does though :) then thats 2 people confirming it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Gandicela:
I'm barely 24 hours running the 08-Apr version you released and the only issue i encounter so far is the unlocking of the phone.

When screen goes off, it takes almost 1 minute for the lock screen to appear, FP is the same as the screen remains blank. I need to wait for the information on the screen to appear. Short press or long press of the power button never works either.

Is it because of encryption? I have encrypted my phone actually, and i am from completely clean install.

Do u think your latest 11-Apr release might in anyway help?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
Very strange, I'm encrypted too.

Check that you don't have expanded display globally on for everything. If you do it will cause the screen to stay off for a little bit before it wakes. You can use it per app but not globally.

No other users are reporting this, let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Gandicela:
U r right about my setting of the global expanded desktop, i all the time want it that way, since.

Let me try the per app option u suggested.

Marvelous work u do here, thanks. I'm finally back to LOS, away from bloatwares.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
I'll edit the post to give info about that bug, i think its one of the only bugs left!

Thanks i apreciate it, it's very strange thought. Somebody posted on here a few pages ago to let me know about it.

For now i am just using it per app and that actually works out better for my usage, will look into it and see if i can find out the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Gandicela:
It works as u mentioned, Mate. But still i want fully expanded desktop globally. So i put all apps to 'Hide Both' setting and I'm left with only the home screen with both Nav and Status bars. A little compromise, for now, as a work around.

Cheers!

pretty smooth rom, only thing is i cant get any microsoft products like one drive to work.

onedrive is vital for me as i use it to sync all my devices

is this a known bug or did i miss something during install or a setting that i need to change?

*edit apps install fine and wont immediately fc, only when i try to loging to my account.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:

It's enabled by default, call someone and the record call button should be there, what country are you in?

Worst ROM ever, And you can't even flash a TouchWiz ROM again easily because it installs some weird Oreo Vendor on your device and all the Samsung features are gone in this very bad ROM!! And also there is no way to install Indian CSC on this ROM because the TouchWiz is deleted so I can not have my VoLTE which means I can not do my phone call! I really am in need of help after installing this very bad ROM on my phone!

10/10 review sir
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] HTP.Felicia:
In my opinion, whenever you decide to flash any rom, you should consider about these problems, you cannot blame the rom brought you these drawbacks. As I known when you flash a custom rom, the knox will be tripped and you cannot use Samsung features anymore, have no idea about CSC or other things. It does not mean the rom is bad, it is because it is not suitable for your region. You can do some more research to get back the VoLTE but with Samsung features, you lost them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Gandicela:
That is strange, because from this ROM i switched back to One UI using ALEXNDR S2CSD2, clean wipe, and i had no issues up to now since 14-Apr.

The feedback to the used camera is "good". Unfortunately "good" is very undifferentiated, it is for me only a word with 4 letters ;)

Can someone give a more exact description if and how the difference to the really very good stock-rom camera is?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Nasty_z:
Quite inferior to the stock camera.

You're missing many many features of the stock camera. This is purely a camera app without any added features. You point and shoot, have location tags, zoom and that's about it really. Exposure and white balance are there too.

Stock camera app on stock roms is miles ahead of this one. And it's supposed to be. This is almost pure aosp, manufacturers build their features, skin and apps on top of this.

Essentially, you won't get nearly as many features as stock Rom here. But you will get a clean, no bloatware experience. If camera is important to you, stay on stock roms. :)

so how do i get this installed?

i am currently on a rom thats pie based.

(See screenshots)

question 1:

what do i need to do to rollback?

i want to go back to oreo. i hate pie and hate one UI.

question 2:

i want to convert my partition to f2fs. so i wanna upgrade twrp to the latest version or should i not mess with f2fs?

question 3:

is gapps installed ? if not what version do i need? i assume opengapps 8.1 arm64 and then nano or whatever i pick?

question 4:

is there dark mode in this rom? i saw lots of screenshots and i saw nothing under display settings for dark/night mode. this is very important for me.

question 5:

in the event things go wrong, can i just restore a pie based TWRP backup and done? cause my backup has EVERYTHING selected.

question 6:

dual sim. since exynos phones are n960f/d being dual. does dual sim work right?

question 7:

is call recording enabled by default for calls?

question 8:

i noticed in https://mega.nz/#F!oMNlFYDI!MXWuRHlO-5krpypyo7ylcA!BJUF0AzR that theres also a boot.img file. do i need to flash that also? or just the lineage-15.1-20190516-UNOFFICIAL-crownlte.zip

file and then vendor image?

thank you.

Really fast, good battery and easy installation. It would be interesting if you could add UMS functionality to allow easy file transfer and DriveDroid iso mounting. Ive tried to find ways to add this but the kernel probably needs UMS functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
i've been using geitis broken tree for the moment, haven't started on my own yet.

1 - follow instructions on first post :)

2 - i haven't added f2fs into my kernel currently, ext4 is a better choice for encryption and stability, if you need it i can add it?

3 - opengapps 8.1 arm64 nano is what i use myself

4 - yes there is dark mode in display settings, you can theme accent colours etc

5 - yep just restore your pie/oreo backups if needed

6 - im single sim, but a few dual sim users have messaged me saying it works

7 - it is enabled by default, it won't record by default but the button is there on the dialer :)

8 - boot.img is already included with the rom, i just upload them aswell if anybody wants to rollback from another custom kernel and doesn't know how to extract it from the rom.zip

i was going to add this a few months ago but forgot, i will look into it for you :)
