[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries,] dr.ketan:
ChangeLog Q10 For N975F/FD & N976B/N & N970

Before starting let me clear things,

I needed lot struggle to make Q10 based on 2.5UI when samsung have yet not released code so no TWRP/Kernel yet available based on 2.5UI source. Here used TWRP and Kernel are based on OneUI 2.1 During my testing and find out fix, I had flash Bootloader & Modem, wiped Int storage and lastly flashed completely full stock ROM (TH7) BUT still

I believe all these were not required.

because indeed none of it fixed for me and started to mod from scratch and worked. So If you are running my Q09 ROM, you can update to Q10 as routine way (Simple factory reset is recommended) and if that doesn't work, then you may try to update BL & Modem or full ROM, but mostly it won't require.

Running sort of time so just I could spare few hrs only to make ROM and you may miss some mods(3minit,Fingerprint unlock after reboot,Viper etc), I will try to add those in next update.

As said above, due to busy schedule and other projects, couldn't test in deep, Expecting proper reproting with details & log if any bug found.

N976B/N Users requires to flash SIM Pop up Fix (available in Download area)

N970F users needs to update bootloader & modem if TWRP showing black screen only.

Now over to changelog.

- Based on N975FXXU6DTH7 One UI 2.5

- Included DrKetan kernel which is compiled with source code from cruel-kernel Thanks and credit to @ evdenis for kernel. (This base version will get auto flashed if you flash ROM and no needs to select kernel in aroma) Here is OP for kernel & source code

- TWRP is included fro Ian TWRP Here is OP of TWRP Thanks & Credit to ianmacd

- N975F Now should detect both SIM before applying Essential Fix

- N976 users may not have network then first try to apply essential fix and reboot.

- Added toggle for Show/Hide mobile data on Quick panel

- Selfie camera won't work for third party app immediately after flashing Q10, Here issue is explained &provided Fix

Some Important things to note -

This ROM is fully Single ROM for N975F and N976B/N ,While flashing ROM, N976 must select N976 kernel from aroma.

N976 may have network only after Applying ROM Tool essential fix + Reboot

New TWRP (Ian TWRP with 3.4) will be available in download area, you must flash it even you are already on TWRP. ROM may not get flash correctly using older TWRP (3.3*). Also to keep in mind, when you update ROM you must install TWRP available in download are every time because samsung have messed up with rollback and TWRP must be matching with security patch of base. Download area have correct matching of TWRP/Kernel/ROM.

Recommended Installation Steps

We Don't recommends/supports dirty flash, but one thing to note, you always should remove lockscreen & Biometric data before flashing ROM in case you gonna flash dirty.

ROM tested with Ian TWRP ( Download area have it) Credit & Thanks @ ianmacd Here is link for OP and source code.

If you are on Pie version (Stock/Custom) - Flash Stock Q first (recommended to have same base of ROM) and then follow instructions below

If you are already on DrKetan ROM Q* (Previos version ROM) then

If you are on stock ROM (Rooted/Non Rooted/Other custom ROM) or facing Bootloop/Sreen lock (Device reboot on unlocking device) after flashing ROM

Important Notes once you finish installing ROM

DON'T INSTALL ANY DISABLER/BT FIX/MAGISK anything after flashing ROM, as ROM already pre patched for all these stuff. Additionally flashing may cause issue. Also you shouldn't WIPE device after flashing ROM, but It should be before flashing ROM.

- It may take 6-7 minutes to finish installation. once installation finish, select reboot to system

- After this first of all open magisk and check if installed correctly, If it ask for complete additional setup, let it do and reboot.(If ROM being installed as said, then it won't ask)

I recommend to disable magisk notification (Magisk - setting - superuser notification - none (This will make mods to work much faster)

- On newer magisk, default status of Magisk Hide is disabled, Enable it to pass SafetyNet & for hiding root for other apps

After looking magisk is installed properly, open ROM Tool and apply essential Fix - Reboot device after applying essential fix

If you are using Gear watch or other accessory, setup it and finish rest of personal installation.

Done !

Special Note for Gear wearable & Gear SPay

Spay (Gear) working out of box (As per my test), provided you have installed required apps.

To connect it flawlessly,

1.Clean Install ROM + Open ROM Tool and Apply Essential Fix - Reboot

2.Make sure Magisk manager safetyNet check pass

3.Connect gear with Bluetooth (Gear should factory reset) and this will auto install all required apps.

Once Gear connects, simply open Samsung Pay from Galaxy Wearable app - Hide it in Magisk Hide and you should able to add card.

Important

: If you want to use EdXposed with Gear Spay then first add your card before installing EdXposed

I recommend clean Installation only. If you are able to handle consequences with dirty flash then proceed, but don't post bugs in forum without clean installing ROM.

Tips,AddOn & Fix

- Magisk Cts Profile Fix (SafetyNet)

- Custom splash bootlogo

- Google Pay Fix - 1.Install Google Play 2.Make sure SafetyNet check pass in magisk manager 3.Open ROM Tool - Mod & Fix - Google Pay fix - Apply - Reboot. Now Google Pay should work, In case requies then check required stuff is hodden in Magisk Hide

- GoodLock module settings reset after reboot.

This happens if you are using GL module (With some shortcut activity) without using GoodLock module. In case your country supports Good Lock module then Install it and once open all module from GL app itself

In case your country doesn't support GL even then you need to install. You can get all app from ROM Tool - GoodLock

After installing GoodLock app + all required modules - Open ROM Tool - Mod & Fix - Good Lock Fix to apply fix. After this you needs to reboot device and now all module setting will be stick after reboot.

- ROM have included custom kernel that compiled with magisk integreted, So when magisk update available, you can not update magisk (It will cause bootloop) If you want to stick to custom kernel, wait till developer release new version with buil in updated magisk. In case you can't wait, you can use stock kernel and update magisk, here below is guide to update magisk.

Download stock firmware

Extract AP_*.tar.md5 and patch it using latest magisk, extract boot.img from patched file

Download TWRP and patch it using latest magisk

Now flash patched TWRP and extracted boot.img from recovery as image

- Stuck while flashing something (Bootloop), How can I reboot to download

There is a golden rule that always works when you stuck anywhere (bootloop). Follow this -

1.Plugin device to PC

2.Keep holding power + vol down

3.As soon as screen goes blank, keep holding vol up + vol down (here you needs to be quick)

And you are in download mode.

- EdXposed You can directly install from Magisk download repositories

- Unable to login to samsung ac : I have observed recently in one condition, restoring a backup that includes samsung acc. I have encountered this once and fixed by installing Samsung Members and logged in with that. By using this app, it showing "your session is expired login again" after this it was worked. Another possibility is, few users have reported some version of custom kernel was causing issue with samsung acc.

- Read ROM Tool - Update & Fix if any new available.

Download : https://drketanrom.com/

This is a customized ROM and for end users only, ROM or any part of ROM/mods not allowed to redistribute,modify or to use as base to prepare new ROM/ part of other ROM.

Now onward only Q base ROM will be released, P06 will remain last version of Pie ROM, there won't be any support provided for Pie based ROM, just keeping it available in download area if you are still not ready to move to Q

Thanks for keeping patience.
