Thanks, that's helpful, but I don't think flashing a different ROM is a good idea. Plus, there were people on Ketan's thread who were saying that they're running Ketan Q + Zeus kernel. Do you by chance know why restoring a backup of boot doesn't fix the problem? What changes to other partitions does booting with a new kernel make?

Also, I decided that backing up internal storage by just copying every folder from the phone to PC through Windows Explorer takes an unacceptably long amount of time (I have tons of small files, which make transfers truly snail-paced), so now I'm stuck until I find/construct a working adb command that first makes a .tar archive of /data/media/0. A lot of those commands online don't really work, maybe people made them for linux consoles not CMD, or something.

Edit: I spent like two hours trying to get making .tar through adb exec-out to work, but now I ran adb shell tar --create --file=data/media/0/backups/0.tar data/media/0 . This at least seems to make an archive on the phone, not throw errors or make zero byte archives on my PC. I'll just copy it to PC afterwards and then I can get to reformatting to f2fs and restoring data, or dirty flashing the original ROM and whatnot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ricardo2511:
Not sure why it wouldnt be a good idea but whatever...

It worked just the way i described for me and for many others who had the issue on the zeus kernel tg group. The one from keetans thread which has zeus kernel working with his rom is because he is using an older zeus beta kernel from the telegram group, so newer baseband was not even out...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] LVArturs:
It's not a good idea because I don't understand which parts of the system will change when doing that. I don't even know what's different between Devbase and Ketan, how that will affect apps, various settings etc. Also, I don't really want to move from Ketan ROM. So I'll just try dirty flashing Ketan ROM and the kernel that comes with it before trying Devbase.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ricardo2511:
When i had that issue i also tried just dirty flashing over current ketan rom so i can get back to stock kernel but that also didn't work out.

At the end the only solution that worked is the one i described.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:
From latest stock just flash BL and CP? Or also AP?

I won't flash AP... so if just BL and CP I'll do it to match.

The other solution will be to wait until ketan release the new Qrom?...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] LVArturs:
Dirty flashing Ketan ROM (vendor, kernel, ROM itself, OEM fix) makes it so that I can unlock the phone and browse apps (but notifications, draw down notification menu and soft navigation keys die on unlocking and don't reappear until locked again), but it locks itself again in about 10 seconds. Though I can open settings and apps, which I couldn't before. I'll try reflashing Magisk and clearing caches, but since I flashed a full rom, it makes me surmise the problem is in the data partition. I guess. Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:
Ok, so I have the dowloaded: latest stock rom, alexndr rom with *S4DTA1* and dr.ketan rom *4DSLB*

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.

Adios and cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] LVArturs:
Doesn't seem like the problem with Ketan ROM is in F2FS - I just dirty flashed Ketan, then Devbase, then this kernel and it worked on ext4. Pretty smooth, stable and fast after about an hour of use. Didn't even have to restore data (but I had to reflash Riru and EdXposed). Even remembers all my settings, DPI in developer's settings and all. I guess Ketan ROM and Devbase are very compatible. Of course, I had to redelete Google ecosystem and the Samsung stuff I don't use. But other than that, I'm a happy camper (bar any possible future glitches because of ext4 and dirty flashing). Thanks everyone!

Also, is there testing available on ext4 vs f2fs?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:
Awesome...alexndr devbase right?

Or what?

I'll try it out later on today...

I know it's not the problem in file system but F2FS I read it's newer file system with a boost for android Q apps ...

I try last night and converted data to F2FS but phone didn't boot, try installing dr.katan Q03 and failed to /mount/data

Had to restore ext4 backup lol

Anyone here using F2FS?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] LVArturs:
Yes, that Devbase (v7.1, January 21).

This seems relevant to the F2FS ext4 debate - https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2697069

Seems like the improvement is neither marginal nor substantial. Middling, I guess, but looks worth the 40GB backup I'll have to move to PC and back. But not today, I'm done breaking my phone for one day :D

Edit: hKtweaks allows me to do everything, except overclocking the big cores above 2314MHz, drops back immediately. I can reduce clock speed just fine, though. Curious.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:
Haaaa, I hear you... the last 4 days I spend most of the time restoring backup I got last night about midnight to a point where phone was totally off didn't turn on... actually the first time I freaked but soon realized I wasn't pressing the power button and decided to stop drinking, restore and go to bed.

I back up on Samsung cloud and it slow and some apps don't get restored. Smart Things is much better and faster to completely restore.

Ofcourse I have a TWRP nano that saved me many times during the past 3 days trying to get this to work...

Man I really appreciated all your help...I let you know how it goes...

Cheers

Finally....

It works good, no flash anything like devbase or modem, etc ... if on dr.ketan rom just get to the forum and see fix...

Awesome...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:
I'm flashing BL and CP as well as home_csc on dr.ketan from latest stock rom hopefully will take care of this sdcard reboots

I read about random reboots in changelog so I knew about it before flashing kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:
I did only BL different modem and CSC same so probably didn't fix it... hopefully next kernel release will get rid of this bug.

Cheers....

Three rest very fast and sweet....[emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] pchaokiat:
I've read Dr's recommend you to flash custom kernel fix on his thread. Did sd card has random reboot after flash(before flash BL&modem)? I'm on Dr. Keton rom too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:
Yes,

Phone rebooted twice last night sdcard not inserted... reboot sdcard there...

I flashed the new bootloader couple of hours ago no need to flash modem or CSC since same... let you know how it goes but I doubt the problem is in the bootloader or ROM... read changelog, other then that kernel fast and smooth...

My phone freezes every couple of hours and becomes unresponsive, must hard reboot playing games or using browser

Poor kernel memory management, kernel bug, I don't even care what it is, but can't use it for now

Been on dr. Ketan rom for a month without a single problem, can't have my phone freeze every couple of hours loose mic or speakers every 5 minutes while in a game with my friends

Just flashed stock kernel back

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

I never had to reboot my phone in 1 year as much as I did since flashed this kernel.

On PIE worked perfect, maybe its just new for Q or honestly, I don't care what it is anymore I will come back and check from time to time until it's working properly maybe I flash it back one day
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] karapoutsoglou:
yeah its that bad and the thing is that he releases new versions without even adressing these issues like Bluetooth etc

also Pie versions are bad too. at first thw phone seems responsive but after few days lags are appearing...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] johansson:
Maybe the problem is located between the chair and the screen. Never had issues with this kernel and if I ever had one, OP was always kind enough to address it here, even though most issues can be addressed by asking in the telegram group.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] karapoutsoglou:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] johansson:
As I said, go on telegram, we have a group for those questions
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ghembuls:
I disagree with this, because I have used this kernel for sometimes and not yet encounter major failure. Some errors I found are mostly the same as previously mentioned on Android Q ROM, such as SD card not mounted or random reboot.

Samsung acc login was successful, and restoring the data from Sam' acc. Lockscreen features also have no problem, FP, Face or Iris all good to go. Should error be found anywhere, it is expected since this is the 1st custom kernel for Q. Just remember when Q appear, even Magisk encounter some errors because the major update on SAR system.

I have tested at least 3 Q ROMs to be paired with Zeus kernel, basically there was no problem. Yes, it may still need some improvement here and there, for compatibility purpose but Android Q alone is new, so adjustment for customization is necessary. It will be much better if user involvement in development be shown by sending logs rather than just saying not good or similar.

Well, thats what I thought as Beta Tester for some developers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] maanz "L":
For my case, Samsung acc login was not successful, it says "processing failed" upon entering password and it goes back to the account page again Though, others that you have mentioned, Lockscreen features, FP, Face and Iris have no problems at all except Secure folder (modified version rooted) is not working.

however i do get into the Samsung acc as in your 2nd pic, but when i pressed any of the options in there, it takes me back to login page..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] ghembuls:
I have discussed it with ridwan.sn about the possibility to apply custom kernel in his ROM, he will look into it. I was testing his ROM and applying Zeus kernel, it made the rom keep on optimizing during reboot. Though in general usage, I hadnt got major error, but the fact it keep on optimizing on each reboot, made me change to other while waiting for fixes.

Will let you know in his telegram channel, when he updates the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] LVArturs:
The latest update makes memory management better, but stock is still better in that aspect, because it doesn't kill small apps like music players. This one is better at keeping more tabs in memory in Firefox. I'm not saying stock is perfectly aligned with my wishes, though (I'd like the kernel to not kill my music player, but also allow two large apps running at the same time without conflicting, like two browsers with a few tabs each. Stock usually kills one very quickly, even if there's a lot of RAM left).

Also, there's some sort of networking problem (I used LTE). After opening tabs so that free RAM is ≤1000MB, I ran a speed test in that same browser. The ping was 200-300ms, even though the stock kernel had ≤30ms. Maybe it was the browser's problem, but Cool Tool showed N/A instead of the network speed. On stock it worked fine. So something seems wrong with the network.

But I do like the overclocking and speed improvements in this kernel. On that note, could someone, please, post detailed Antutu 8 results for Android Q, this kernel, 6gb version with F2FS? I'm curious as to the improvements of F2FS in this benchmark before deciding on changing from ext4. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] !Noki!:
I will do it

I downloaded 4.9.212 and devbase7.1 however I'm on dr's rom so I will experiment with it in the next couple of days since Q03 doesn't support f2fs must make full TWRP backup transfer it on my sdcard, change data to F2FS must flash devbase etc....

Hehe Like you said before... I'm done breaking my phone for today... but I'm also curious, you have a good point...

I will post antutu results on ext4 and f2fs...

Cheers brother [emoji482]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] LVArturs:
I did break my phone again yesterday, couldn't unlock after flashing the latest kernel update. Turned out there was a newer version of Devbase (by like 9 days), and the latest kernel was compatible only with that one.

I use this kernel since PIE and despite some other users I never had a problem, it worked very nice... but now on Q ... I'm sad I can't use it...

Don't understand me wrong, I know it's the first custom kernel for Q and a lot of work has been put into it but right now at least to me has major problems that can't overcome...

Every new release I come back, download it again flash it hoping it's better... then end up going back to stock ....

Update

Believe it or not, I can't boot after changing FS to F2FS.

I had to flash TWRP 3.3 for Q to be able to change data and cache partitions, I did flash devbase 7.1 and 30 minutes on black screen with samsungs logo and blue LED flashing

Went back into TWRP flashed Zeus kernel then magisk same...

Honestly I don't know how to make the note 9 boot on F2FS...

Maybe rom doesn't support it

I know Zeus kernel does

Using stock kernel for 1 year +. I got curious so decided to flash Zeus. Relatively fast, I did it within 5 minutes.

Zeus Kernel gives that extra buttery smoothness! I can feel it when scrolling through Instagram.

Under same conditions (at home, wifi, 50% brightness, some gaming)

Stock Kernel: at 50% Battery 3hr SOT;

Zeus Kernel; at 50% Battery 4hr SOT

Of course these numbers are hunches but I feel that smoothness was a very welcome benefit. No crashes so far. Using Android 9.

Thank you for the hard-work! Much appreciated! Thats why I like using Android - tinkering :)

It's a simple warning, because for some the score can be lower due to custom ROM/kernel/configuration. They want to avoid negative feedback and also most likely they now exclude scores from rooted phones as they can be vastly different from the equilibrium (both down and up). Nothing strange here.

major kernel update

for Andorid Q.. something that no other kernel developer could have done it, surpassing much more of optimization & tweaks that I have done it on Andorid Pie, Oreo.

A full of features & explanations is on the main XDA OP thread and the changelogs you will always see it on the download link from now on as usual...

Currently ZeusROM is still under experimentation if you even wanted to use it, Join us on Telegram group ... the invite link is on the Main XDA Post thread.
