[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Reco] npdroid:
@AlexisXDA Bugs I've found / things I noticed / my exhaustive review of nobleROM 3.3 :

install : flashed a stock rom, flashed TWRP 3.7,

Spoiler content hidden.

advanced aroma togglers I've used :

Spoiler content hidden.

Findings in android13 / oneUI5.1 / nobleROM3.3 (I don't know where lie the following problems) :

default camera app :

photo :

photos and portrait (face recognition) mode are working, even though I didn't install the nobleROM3.2 camera TWRP patch, is it normal?

didn't try selfie mode yet, TODO

video :

I let the camera record a static scene in 1080p30, (battery percentage near full initially) it lasted 1h17m43s. I don't know why it stopped, battery percentage was still remaining afterwards... and phone was ON... can it overheat and decide to stop ? Or it will automatically reboot instead of staying shutdown?

Pro mode minor bug/typo : FHD(1080p)30 setting appears twice.

10min hardlimit for 1080p60 and 4k30, 5min for 4k60

no more multi-take slowmo as in stock android10-based firmware. :( Was convenient, as one could choose when to slowdown and when not to, now it seems every frame will be slowed down. Output is 1080p30 anyways.

One can outputs from the video editor app in HEVC format, but it seems gone from the video recording settings, compared to stock rom :(

doesn't display battery status unless one swipes it down from the top edge :(

"Warning : camera failed" : experienced once, right after turning brightness all the way up to outdoor mode, but I can't manage to reproduce it. It was at launch time though.

A lot more times (at launch time and during recording as well !!) when repeating 5min 4k60 recordings with Flash ON near low battery... is it a software issue or some mix with firmware overheating threshold ?

galaxy store app is still present, even though I choose, at Aroma step, to remove "samsung AR apps, game launcher, extra samsung apps installer"

magisk icon is a wrong one. magisk keeps popping up and complaining "please connect to the internet! upgrading to full magisk is required" even though the nobleROM3.3 changelogs say embedded magisk was upgraded to latest...

thunder-tweaks 9810 (I don't even know what is it for) and magisk keep popping up with the complaint "the app keeps stopping", annoying.

Out of bixby apps, I kept routines, but there's no app in the app menu, only way to access it is via quick access dropdown.

Voice assistant : i chose at aroma step to not use google and samsung text-to-speech engines, however I'm still able to use voice (using google engine) for searching within

samsung contact app searchbar

settings searchbar

App search bar from the scrollup app menu : gone. I believe this is due to my aroma choice regarding "s-finder". I just wish I could keep the app searchbar, without my phone doing internet search requests at the same time...

NobleROM boot animation : still comes after the "samsung galaxy note9 powered by know" splash screen and doesn't remove it. What would be the boot screen if I pick "none" at aroma step ? Will it speed up boot process ?

video editor : compared to android10based stock, adds dimension cropping :) but removes speedup x0.5/2 :(

gallery :

to display metadata location along with photos, needs homecalling to foursquare servers, to convert GPS coordinates "and information about phone" into business and place names. No alternative, so I'd like to be debloatable at aroma step

feature "keep in metadata and suggest going back to the URL where the screenshot was taken" : gone.

tags : less intuitive, we don't see anymore tags above individual picture view

secure folder (needing samsung cloud) : settings still present here and there (including gallery app) even though it was removed at aroma step

music-share : (accessible via quick access drop down) needs to access contact and wifi, to allow friends to control the bluetooth speaker. I wish I had an aroma option to remove it. How to remove it until then ?

nearbyshare : (accessible via quick access drop down) uses bluetooth scanning to find nearby devices. "Visible to contact only" is not possible without a google account. No other cloud alternative. I wish I could delete it at aroma step, how to until then?

Spectrum profile : (accessible via quick access drop down) what is it please ? It redirects to thundertweaks app, in App settings...

Quickshare : 5GB max per day, samsung account is mandatory. I wish I could delete it at aroma step, how to until then?

Always-on display (accessible via quick access drop down) : no matter if it's on or off, my always-on display is turned off. I'm pleased with that though, but for those who want it...

"Android system intelligence", in "other privacy settings". So that keyboard suggests relevant sentences to answer with. I wish I could delete it at aroma step, how to until then?

Ads (google) : toggle "opt out of ads personalization to instruct apps not to use your advertising ID to build profiles or show you personalized ads". But then "note that if you clear your cache you will lose your opt-out settings". I'd like to be able to clear my cache often without worrying about being ad profiled, or even better, getting rid of my ad personal unique ID.

Usage and diagnostics : "turning off this feature doesn't affect your device's ability to send the information needed for essential services such as system updates and security." How to prevent it ?

Screen timeout : 10min is the longest, no "never" option

DeX :

When holding it from the quick access drop down, I land on a page, where, to access interface and settings, we are forced to accept "allow samsung deex to find, connect to, and determine the relative position of nearby devices?". Spoiler : the only settings afterwards are : autolaunch DeX when HDMI cable is connected. Where to rollback this permission if I plan to only use corded DeX ???

I just initially wanted to find the stock firmware settings about the spen, whether to use like a mouse (press to move and press harder to write) or as a pen (hover to move and contact to write), but I wasn't able to find it ??? Maybe this is only configurable in the samsung note app ???

Still no portrait oriented external display to this date. Found there was people using Second Screen app instead. Which makes me wonder why not ditching to an AOSP13-base instead ? I see LOS20 has it for note9, so multi user session as well. Curious to read you guys motivations of staying with oneUI5.1 though.

apps for samsung dex available "on samsungdex.com", which redirects to https://www.samsung.com/samsung-dex , which access is forbidden via TOR , are there any app worth it you guys use?

samsung notes : gone. I wish it wasn't, did I do something wrong in the aroma ?

samsung reminder app : gone. (centralized to do list, syncable with samsung cloud and microsoft to do) I want to use it locally, as we can preset call refusing messages and automatically get a "to do : call back Foo"

samsung PenUp app : gone. I wish it wasn't, did I do something wrong in the aroma ?

Record screen app : new feature : pointer option :) however I found it will also record the S-pen floating bubble and the S-pen hovering circle pointer :(
