[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] kreizyidiot:
Hey guys!

I was wondering if anyone have the list of apps that can be de-bloated on the 8T. I know Technastic has one below via the link, but it's not really specific to the unlocked version of the 8T

OnePlus Bloatware List- Debloat OnePlus without Root

Safely uninstall system apps on OnePlus OxygenOS with our safe-to-remove bloatware list using the Oxygen OS debloater script without root.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Synt4x.93:
To avoid forced encryption on first boot and make it optional to enable from device settings with official lineage or roms based on the official trees like this. You should use vendor_overlay for a modified fstab, or modify your stock vendor fstab.

Something like this synt4x93/android_device_samsung_universal9810-common/commit/67db1379fc6850228310525ffb1f4ec8df95f26e

I assume he is talking about decrypting /data in recovery and is unable to do so because of forced encryption.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] FerretallicA:
So far so good - everything seems very stable and I haven't encountered any annoying bugs after roughly a day of use. Only issues I've had are as follows:

1. Developer mode

It says it has worked after tapping the build number repeatedly but then I don't see any Developer Options available in the settings. Am I missing something?

Scrap that, I finally found it. Under

Settings

->

System

->

Advanced

->

Developer options

. Looks like the only 'problem' was my unfamiliarity with LineageOS changes to settings menus.

2. Limited USB connectivity

I can't see the phone at all when connected to a PC via USB cable and booted normally. I've gone into Developer Settings and set default USB mode to 'file sharing' but it still doesn't show up and I don't get any option to change the mode as I would normally expect. The device is detected fine in bootloader and recovery modes. I've tried different USB cables and a different laptop to help rule those possibilities out. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

3. Forced encryption

Direct file link for anyone else with the same need: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/s...8df95f26e/rootdir/etc/fstab.samsungexynos9810

To access /system I assume you need root access. Typically I would do this by flashing Magisk but I can't flash anything from recovery without a full wipe when the data partitions are encrypted. How does one get around this chicken-and-egg problem?

Fixed with a generic script
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] andrikv:
2. Connect Phone to PC then press "Charging this device via USB" from notification the choose file transfer

3. i flash the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip it disable the forced encryption

the only bug i found is from front camera when "selfie mirror" is enabled the camera app will crash after capture
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] FerretallicA:
If anyone else wants to get their Note 9 up and running with this ROM with minimal hunting around, here's what I'd suggest (assuming coming from a stock firmware). You will end up with iode + Magisk + no 'data' encryption (so for example you can still access your Data partition from recovery).

You will need:

Odin installer from https://odindownload.com/download/

Tested with: https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.13.3.zip

(there is a newer version 3.14.1 but I already had 3.13.3 so tested with that)

TWRP installer in .img.tar format from https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxynote9.html

Tested with: https://dl.twrp.me/crownlte/twrp-3.5.0_9-1-crownlte.img.tar.html

lode ROM from https://github.com/iodeOS/ota/releases/tag/v1-crownlte

Tested with: https://github.com/iodeOS/ota/releases/download/v1-crownlte/iode-1.1-20201224-crownlte.zip

Magisk zip installer from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk

Tested with: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v21.4/Magisk-v21.4.zip

Disable DmVerity ForceEncrypt fix from https://github.com/Zackptg5/Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt

Tested with: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145725184

and also a PC for running the Odin software.

Summary of install steps

Update phone to latest official firmware

Restart phone in bootloader mode and flash TWRP with Odin. If you've never done this before there is a decent guide here: https://www.droidthunder.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-samsung

Restart phone in Recovery mode (TWRP).

Use Wipe -> Format to completely wipe the existing Data partition.

Copy the iode, Magisk and 'disable forced encryption' zip files to your phone. Then from TWRP install them in order of iode, Magisk and "Disable DmVerity ForceEncrypt". Do not restart the device in between each step.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] FerretallicA:
2. it doesn't work. There is no such prompt on the phone. It's weird because I can see the phone just file and transfer files in recovery mode, just not when booted into the main OS. It works on pretty much every other Note 9 ROM i've tried for more than 5 minutes.

3. Thanks, I went by that route too in the end.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] FerretallicA:
Having used this for over a week now, just reporting back that it has been rock solid and I get around 2.5 days of fairly average use between needing to charge.

Regarding the not showing up PC connection issue, it started working when I flashed the no-encrypt patch immediately after flashing the main ROM image. I'm not sure if it is directly related but I'm happy it's working anyway.

This is going to be my daily driver for the foreseeable future. Thanks to both Lineage and iode teams for making it easier than ever to have a stable and functional Android device with as little Google snoopery as possible. Great work!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] FerretallicA:
Is there any way to add additional rules to the iode blacklist? It's all very well having a built-in firewall of sorts and dashboard showing blocked traffic but it's kind of useless if you can't easily add things to it (e..g Facebook tracking URLs which aren't blocked by iode by default)

=== New Update : 07/03/2021 ===

Available as OTA (see OP)​
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] FerretallicA:
If I update via OTP with the iodeOS updater app will I need to flash Magisk and the no-encrypt patch?

i.e. when it's installing will I need to keep an eagle-eyed watch and make sure it doesn't boot into the OS after updating until I've booted into recovery to apply the no-encrypt patch? Because if I need to do that anyway I might as well download manually and install via recovery. But it would be nice to be able to use OTA updates if it doesn't encrypt my storage each time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] FerretallicA:
For anyone else interested in the OTA process, when you update through the iodeOS update app it will download the update image and show a prompt to continue. It then reboots in recovery mode, automatically runs the installer script and automatically reboots at the end. There was something about magisk.d in the installer logs but I wasn't prepared for that and it rebooted before I could get a photo.

I caught it in time to make sure it rebooted into recovery again so I could apply the no-encrypt patch to be on the safe side. Rebooted into OS... everything looks good. Magisk is still installed and working which is good but I'm guessing it's because of it installs itself as a service versus simply patching a file. I would still err on the side of caution and make sure you re-apply any patches like disabling full storage encryption after the update and before booting into the OS again.

The main new feature of interest to me in this one was the preinstalled app manager, since I had to reflash a few times when trying to debloat with other methods. It was easy enough to find ("Settings > Apps and notifications > Preinstalled apps"). I started small by removing the default browser (which is one of the things I couldn't safely remove via other methods) and restarted. It booted up again fine and the stock browser app was removed :D

All in all, I'm once again very impressed with this and would eagerly recommend it to anyone who is willing to give up some of the niceties of a Touchwiz-based ROM for a much lighter weight and more privacy-respecting alternative.

Suggestion for future updates: if you could add a prompt to the update recovery script (e.g. "Update complete - press OK to reboot") it would be really nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] Rubennino:
Flashed the latest version fresh without magisk and all I can say is that I'm very impressed by the quality and customization made for this rom. I dont feel the need to use magisk since the rom is already tweaked to perfection out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] imjms737:
This is incredibly helpful, thanks. I flashed this ROM yesterday to replace the now-dropped official LOS 17.1 on my Note9, but I didn't flash the "Disable DmVerity ForceEncrypt" after flashing iode. I had kept the encryption in TWRP back when I was using LineageOS, and even though I got an error during the OTA update process, the updates would somehow still install with no issues.

Do you happen to know if I can skip flashing disable force encrypt and keep my system updated like I did during my Lineage days? Or is it better to play it safe and make sure to disable force encrypt before I update? And if I do need to flash the disable force encrypt file, would I need to re-flash and re-start the setup process for my phone?

Nice to see such a stable rom here,

Found it a little tricky to use since I havent had any custom roms since the old S3 PAC and with the privacy lockdown and with alot of my usual apps requiring gsf but damn it made quite a difference to my battery life with almost no pop ups (SU) as well as improved security and privacy.

Decent daily driver but was wondering if google maps could run on it without affecting security or privacy ? haven't found a suitable replacement as of yet ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] thinman24:
I finally managed it by using an older version of TWRP. It would be nice if the official instruction for the Note 9 on the iodé homepage would be updated as the LineageOS Recovery is discontinued and as it seems newer TWRPs are not working. Makes it hard for a Newby to install it...

Sorry for the late reply. I used TWRP 3.3.1 from here:

Note 9 TWRP

I used Idoé on my vacation and I was very satisfied with it. Super stable and very good battery life.

On some apps when there is a text input field, the pen doesn't invoke the keyboard. I had to touch the input field with my finger to invoke the keyboard, after that I could type with the pen.

The standard Camera App is very mediocre and I miss the Samsung Note Gismos but this is the price one have to pay for leaving the evil Google empire...

How to install this ROM? I'm using TWRP on my 960F but after the reboot I'm redirect to Download Mode. (same for other ROMs except for Samsung modified one, so I think I'm doing something wrong)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] J3SS33:
Usually the properly flashing process is to wipe cache/delvik cache, and data before flashing any ROMs otherwise it's called dirty flashing. And with newer devices like this I'm pretty sure it's sometimes okay to wipe the system too (take that with a grain of salt).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dj_ooms:
I've only tried one AOSP based ROM so far and the way I flashed it coming from a stock based custom ROM in TWRP was:

0. Backup (optional but important)

1. Wipe Dalvik/Cache, System, Vendor and Data partitions

2. Flash stock Vendor image

3. Flash ROM and GApps (if necessary)

4. Flash TWRP image

5. Flash Magisk

6. Reboot Recovery to ensure TWRP sticks

7. Reboot System

I'm not sure if all the steps are necessary as it's been a few years since I've been on the modding scene. This method always worked for me in the past but the last device I ran custom ROMs on had an A/B system.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] emandt:
In your steps there are only reference to Stock (I'm interpreting as "Samsung Stock")...what about the one in Custom ROMs?

Your instructions seems to be for flashing a Stock Samsung ROM, but it's not what I want. I'm stuck on Samsung ROMs because wiping all partitions and flashing a Custom ROM (using TWRP) just brings me to "Downloading Mode".

First flash was successfully done from Original Samsung to iodéOS 2.1, then I successfully flashed a OneUI Rooted ROM but starting from this last ROM I'm unable to flash iodéOS 2.2 or any other ROM using usual procedures (I'm flashing ROMs on my devices from 10 years starting from Android 2.1).

I don't understand if there are different procedure to do if I want to move from one Custom to another Custom, instead of going to a Custom ROM coming from a Samsung based one.

Thx in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dj_ooms:
In step 3, I mean flash an AOSP based ROM. The steps would be slightly different for a stock based ROM.

It's been a few years since I ran any custom ROMs. The last phone I had with custom ROMs was a OnePlus 6T. The OnePlus phones were a lot easier to mod and go back to completely stock if necessary. I used these steps with the OnePlus, minus the stock Vendor image flash. My understanding from following the custom ROMs on the Note 9 is that you need to have a stock base to flash any of the AOSP based custom ROMs, which essentially means you need to have the stock Vendor image flashed first. When you flash a stock based custom ROM, it normally already has the Vendor image included, hence why you can flash those ROMs directly. I'm no expert though. I've tried a few stock based custom ROMs but messed up a mod install on my last stock based custom ROM. My backup would not restore, so I decided to use it as a chance to try an AOSP based custom ROM. The method I outlined worked for me. I found a download link to GCam lib patched Vendor image in another thread. I'm not sure if the patched image is necessary on AOSP based ROMs but it was the one recommended in that thead.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] emandt:
Thx for your reply.

I don't understand why this passes are not well explained in "How to install" chapter in first post(s) of any Custom ROM thread.

However there is something it continues to makes me in trouble: Original Samsung ROM was replaced by iodéOS 2.1 without any flashing problem....then iodéOS 2.1 was replaced by a Noble ROM (Android 11). To flash iodéOS again, you says I need to flash Vendor.....but "how can I flash Vendor partition only"? And which Vendor partition I need to choose? Isn't iodéOS already an AOSP ROM? So why I cannot just flash iodéOS directly?

All this is very strange.... In ten years I never had so much problems like with this Note 9 (and I flashed more than 10 devices before it)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] dj_ooms:
I think Noble ROM uses a modified Vendor image as it's a port of One UI 3.1 (Android 11) which the Note 9 will probably never receive officially. As most AOSP ROMs require a stock base, you need to put the original One UI 2.5 Vendor image back. If you were on a 2.5 based custom stock ROM, you could probably get away without wiping the Vendor partition and flashing a stock Vendor image before installing your AOSP ROM. This is my understanding from reading most of the custom ROM threads.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] emandt:
@vince31fr are you sure to compile Kernel using appropriate DEFCONFIG, updated source and/or flags?

I'm getting a strange behavior about SPen/Wacom and Touchscreen layer that on other Kernels I don't get: usually when the Touchscreen (device name: "sec_ts") goes off the Kernel have to call some of methods that here they are not called. I don't want to became too much detailed here, but when the Touschreen goes off the Wacom layer is not triggered/informed about that and this makes SPen Detachment event not working while the screen is off (so "Offscreen Memo" and something that turns on the display when SPen is detached cannot be used due to this issue).
