[Introductions] J_Ribeiro:
Hello everyone, I am Pedro (Peter if you want), and I´m from Oporto - Portugal.

Thank you Tom and Andrew, for your warming welcome.

I´m new on this but anxious to learn more about Android Car units, and solve a few issues on mine.

I found this Forum by accident, read a few threads, and immediately realised i´m in the right place to learn.

Thank you all.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
This ROM should work for s9 Snapdragon varients. Also it has the new lineage bootanimation which I modified to make it larger because the official lineage bootanimation for lineage 21 is extremely small. This is the absolute best I can do with the knowledge I have. Your bootloader will have to be unlocked first of course. Always do a nandroid backup first before trying. Wipe cache,system,devlik,vendor and data in TWRP if you want a clean install then flash the rom. To keep your data only wipe cache , system, vendor,devlik then install the ROM.

Hey, could you please publish the source for this? (kernel, device tree)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
This ROM is specifically for model SM-G960W but should work for other s9, s9 plus and note 9 Snapdragon models the updater script is edited for other models as well

Yo, as anyone tried this on their galaxy s9 Specifically the G960U ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] ꗟƤȺR҉T҉@ℵ:
Can you also update the android security patch to one that was made in 2024
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] ꗟƤȺR҉T҉@ℵ:
Ok, I will try that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] kum4423:
Hi man, I saw the source code you are pasting in your thread. This is GSI right? There is no device tree, no vendor tree and no kernel tree. This is not a "ROM", is it? I don't think you can call this a ROM, this is a Patch applied to a GSI.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
For myself this ROM works perfectly for me. The other thing that is good it has is the "do not validate" option in the settings app to log in to workplace wifi or public wifi which is very important to me. Thanks for your imput. This ROM works the way I want I am happy with it, it's here if anyone interested thanks!

not possibility to get working on starqltechn?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
My device is SM-G960W starqltecs. I could not test on other devices only hope it would work on devices with close specs. What kind of error are you getting? It could be a number of things, mabie your TWRP, mabie you need to keep your stock vendor.img or could be you boot.img. I am sorry sir or madam I don't have that device to possibly figure it out.

But honestly speaking this works great for my device starqltecs SM-G960W. My best regards to you!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Woolium:
I'm gonna try this on My S9. Wish Me Luck!

Can you link to the forum which you downloaded it form?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Woolium:
I think it was my updater script.

It Works, but verry jank.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Woolium:
Also, Can you tell me how you Ported The A52 4G rom? (SM-G960W)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Woolium:
(and what model name SM-A123B (for example) )
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
Everything manually writing to the system. The A52 4G can be changed easily by just pressing and change to your device name. What seems to happen is the lineage vendor overlay and product overlay apps seems to run code in the device from the official lineage A52 4G. I like it because it rounds the corners on the close tabs. I have no problems with it now because everything updated. It's almost better to just dirty flash this rom
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Woolium:
Is it with the Vendor?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
Yes the vendor and product lineage overlays.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
I don't know if anyone tried on g960u. Anyway I don't have any problems on my SM-G960W everything is updated.

That's all I can do with the knowledge I have
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] ꗟƤȺR҉T҉@ℵ:
Damn, I planned on flashing it but it doesn't make sense to do it now then.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
Thanks but I have no problems on my device SM-G960W with this rom
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] MauriJ2001:
Dont worry bro im only asking if is compatible with other variants of starq ill try that and report
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Woolium:
Can you try making a patch for the brightness? (That's the jank I'm talking about)
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
Well I have no idea about that but there is a very simple solution for the average Android user, just adjust the brightness slider in the pull down menu
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Woolium:
No, its becuase the brightness is verry low, even when the brightness is all the way up, and when you wake it form sleep, the screen flickers.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
Thank you for letting me know! I see now. What I will do is remove this ROM, the first ROM I had posted here was better I still have it saved on my usb stick. I will upload it later.

i had another question u used A525F as port base with and S9 sotck base?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Woolium:
Wait so is that still the android 14 lineage 21?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
Yes still lineage-21 Android 14. The original one I first posted but it also has the security patch date to 2024-02-05 stock vendor. Uploaded at the beginning of the tread
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
A52 4G an official lineage as base. The vendor and product overlay apps seem to run code in the device and make things perform a certain way. Less brightness but mabie official lineage is that way? Some people don't want things to be too bright on the eyes.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] MauriJ2001:
interesting ill test if can port stock rom from a525f to S9 or maybe test if can do same port for starqltechn
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
I think I may have fixed the brightness issue the rom port I was working on. I think the attached images are bright enough. These are images just after a clean flash. ALWAYS DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST to anyone who reads this. I recommend dirty flash meaning not wiping data, but just wipe devlik, cache, system, vendor then press home button in twrp and just flash ROM zip. ROM at beginning of thread.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Gadorach:
Hey, this is a great ROM so far, but I found several bugs with the SM-G960U when running it.

1) Bluetooth will pair successfully, but cannot connect to a device after pairing.

2) The brightness mapping is incorrect. It attempts to drive the display below the hardware's minimum supported brightness level at the bottom of the brightness curve, likely lowest safe level is ~6/255. It also has the maximum brightness set to only around a third of the display's maximum brightness level, probably like 100/255, making the screen unreadable even at maximum set brightness in the slider when outside in direct sunlight.

3) It is unable to connect to Android Auto. At first it throws an error about not having the permissions for Nearby Devices. Once the permissions are granted, it simply fails to detect the car at all.

4) The ROM doesn't seem to even pass device integrity in SafetyNet, though I can get it to pass basic integrity with Kitsune and PIF. Not sure if this is a result of using a W baked ROM on a U, or some other underlying issue with the build.

5) The indicator LED is not functional for anything, including charging status, system notifications, or app notifications.

I also have one more, but I'm not sure if it's related to the ROM or an issue with the recovery build.

6) When installing the ROM for the first time, the F2FS partition for Data appears to end up corrupted, resulting in boot-loops in the first boot. After wiping everything again, manually changing the Data partition to EXT4, and then back to F2FS, it seems to work fine.

I might look into fixing some of these myself, but at least the report has been made now. Thanks again for the ROM!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
I have added some more libs to the system partition and the vendor partition I have added vendor Bluetooth libs, vendor display colour libs, vendor display mapper libs, and vendor display mapper extensions libs. This might help to improve things.I have added device name starqlteue to the updater script, metadata and metadata.pb.

Funciona en SM-G9600??
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
Someone told me it would not work on starqltechn but it does work on starqlte. I am not sure which device name sm G9600 is ? You can try but just do a NANDROID BACKUP first. If it will work good but if not just restore you device from your nandroid backup
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] PatoKuaKua271q:
It definitely didn't work on G9600, it does nothing but show the Samsung logo over and over again
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
That too bad it did not work. I unpacked official TWRP for sm g9600 and in the recovery.fstab the encryption is not disabled. Sm g9600 has this

/dataext4/dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/userdataflags=encryptable=footer;length=-16384

Sm g960w TWRP encryption is disabled my TWRP has this

/data f2fs /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata flags=encryptable=footer;length=-16384;fileencryption=ice:aes-256-cts

Mabie sm g9600 is not booting because encryption is not disabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] PatoKuaKua271q:
with that twrp is it already decrypted? or should I do something?

EDIT: well I tried to install it and that twrp does not start, it shows the samsung logo trying to enter recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
Sorry about that I removed that file. Just Odin flash back your original recovery image to fix your recovery. I was thinking encryption was the problem. I guess it just not compatible with certain devices

Thanks for your testing!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
You could also try the tom kernel he supposedly made some improvements to the smudge kernel. I have attached the kernel file I edited for my device. Simply extract and change the kernel.sh device name and the shell variables block for your device. Then compress all the files inside the zip again. The kernel may fix some things. I can say that the battery life with the tom kernel and android 14 seem excellent even with streaming

Hey, I need help installing this rom on my Samsung SM-G9650. I'm having trouble installing it, i patched the update script, i installed different TWRP versions, in which, none of them worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
Mabie try to test this modified TWRP I attached below for SM-G9650. To install just flash to the recovery then reboot back to recovery. If this recovery work on the device first do a android backup. Wipe system,cache,devlik,vendor then don't reboot just flash the ROM as is. If the ROM does not boot for that device just do a restore in recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] urboywitjs:
I don't know why, but I installed the recovery, pressed the button combo for recovery, said it was booting to recovery, but it just boots to the samsung logo and doesn't start Android.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
It did not work so just Odin flash your original TWRP back on your device to fix. I will remove that TWRP file since it did not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] urboywitjs:
I have installed my original recovery, but when wiping, it gives me a signal 6 error. I don't know what this means. Also, when trying to install roms, it gives me the same error.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
First of all I am so sorry for your troubles. I found a link that might help but it is not English. Basically it seems like deleting the first couple of lines or more in the updater script of whatever ROM you are flashing then archive your ROM again. https://images.app.goo.gl/B6x3dmEwM5GquVmB8

would it be safe to use the tom kernel with SM-G960U?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
Well it would need to be tested put your device name into the kernel zip rearchive and flash. Back up your boot image first. I really like the kernel and would recommend it if it's compatible with other devices
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Woolium:
yeah it was ok
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] urboywitjs:
Although I installed the custom rom and removed the two lines, I reboot into system by TWRP, it doesn’t install the custom rom and just reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] N920a root:
It sounds like it is not compatible with the sm G9650 or the kernel (zImage) that is inside the boot.img does not work with that particular device. I am assuming your device is bootloader unlocked

You could also try flashing a different kernel directly after flashing the ROM then reboot the device. I did a Google search and found this kernel for sm G9650. See attached zip file

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] bartekyay:
I tried to follow a tutorial posted here, to install TWRP to my a70 however things started going wrong during step 4.

I flashed the recovery.img but *SOMETHING* happened and now im stuck on the Downloading... screen, i have dried power button and volume down however that brings me back to the same exact screen, my pc is not recognising my phone at all and its just stuck there, theres also a pop up in the top right of the screen "Custom Binary(vbmeta) Blocked By OEM Lock, but i made sure that both times that i factory reset it, the OEM setting was greyed out and turned on, so im not sure what the porblem is

I'm currently downloading a stock rom to see if that might solve my issue, if it does ill update this

Any help?

Thanks!

[Touch HD General] goldsfool:
I ran/installed .NET cf 3.5 from the microsoft website into my phone's main memory and it said installation was complete. Then I try to run/install Power Toys from the microsoft website and it says I have to install .NET cf 3.5 first. Why is this happening? I can't figure it out and can't find the solution anywhere.

In case this helps, this is the process I went through. I saved the .NET cf 3.5 installer into my desktop, then ran/installed it into my phone. It asked if I want to save it in my device or storage card, and I chose device. It then installed successfully. I never had to transfer any cab files (is this where I went wrong?? I don't see any cab files to transfer). When I explore the files in my phone, I don't see any icon I can tap to run .NET cf 3.5 (do I have to do so to officially install it??)

I'm all confused...help :(
[Touch HD General] N'da:
You have install it, but you're windows is still using the build in 2.0 (it's a reg key), try the cab in attachement (.net configurator) it will change the key for you forcing app to use the v3.5 and after restart i think you could install your power toys, but why ? could you tell me .

PS: you don't have to launch .net, the app that needs it use it without telling you.
[Touch HD General] goldsfool:
Hey, thanks for replying. The net configurator cab you're talking about is actually a smart part of the Power Toys file I'm trying to download, so I don't understand why it says I have to "install .net cf 3.5 first", even though I've already installed it and my phone says I have both v2 and v3.5. I dunno, I actually hard resetted my phone and will try again later, ha.
[Touch HD General] N'da:
Use a cooked rom, if you have hard reset take the time to flash all the cooked rom here have 3.5 inside and 2.0 out, it speed up windows and most of all apps.
