Hi,
I was thinking about getting the s9+ but I noticed that there are not many roms for the phone, is there any reason for that?

Locked bootloader for the US Snapdragon model.

So the exynos model is not locked?
I was thinking about getting the sd845 model because the performance appeared better, but if it's a cumbersome model to work with and the exynos is better for development. Then maybe one should aim for that model instead.
Wouldnt go for a Samsung phone if you want great custom rom support. Its split between exynos and snapdragon AND you will have to stay with samsung experience roms if you want to have a camera that is not garbage.
Exynos battery isn't as good as snapdragon

Is there any development at all going on for this device?
Yes. I know 3 people including me who have made or are making roms but arent releasing yet for various reasons. Just be patiant. Im personally waiting until official OTA MK1 for UK before making any roms public. Some people mignt be waiting for other things or want to add a lot of polish. Just be patiant.

No worries, I was just curious.
Hackability?

It's great you're working on this tablet. I had a Tab 7 Plus with Exynos processor and there was no development on it whatsoever due to the processor. I am hesitant to get this Note 10.1 with Exynos processor but my question is are they still locked down? Has Samsung given developers what they need to fully unlock this device and mod it? If this tablet is locked down (besides the Knox tripping), then I will wait for the Snapdragon 800 version. Any insight to hackabilty would be appreciated.

It will trip Knox but you can root and we have TWRP recovery on the Exynos version.

Awesome! Is there anything the Snapdragon version will be able to do that the Exynos version can't? Full ROMs possible with this Exynos versus previous Exynos tablets? Are all kernels and all other source codes needed for modding made available now by Samsung? No encrypted unlockable bootloader?

Snapdragon a bit faster GPU and Exynos a bit faster CPU. The kernel source is posted:

The bootloader is unlocked.
Hello,
My friend owns a Samsung Note 3 Neo (N-7502) and he wants to update it because it never got any updates from Samsung from the day he got it (Still running 4.3 and other versions at 5.1.1 already....)
I know there's more than a topic of discussions about this, but there's no answers so I thought the people who could help didn't notice this...
It could be CyanogenMod or anything else, just something newer, better.
He could sacrifice the usage of the 2nd sim card for now if that's the only way.
Please if you know a way, help.
Thanks
My girlfriend owns one too. I've searched in a lot of places, but people said that installing something of the single SIM variants on a dual SIM one won't work. If someone knows how to make it work, please tell us.
*Bump*
I've searched a lot for a solution but I couldn't find any.
Would installing a different model's (N7505) rom work?
Would it even boot up?
It is a totally different phone
Duos variant is qualcomm based while other variants are exynos so no ROM other than stock will work for it for now
There is some hopeful trials to build cm12.1 ROM by Firelord but till the moment we are speaking there is nothing
Hope for the best
Best Regards

I had higher hopes.. According to PhoneArena the 750 variant is the one with Qualcomm and the duos (7502) is similar to 7505 processor wise.
Is that wrong?

See that page :
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_3_neo_duos-6015.php
Also i got build.prop which confirms this
Also all kernel sources from Samsung
Knowing that the device is qualcomm based gives me hope that it may get CM ROM
Anyway, We need some attention from more developers

I'm not sure developers will bother.. But I hope they will.
I don't understand the reason for this... Qualcomm is the most popular processor manufacturer of CPUs so it'd be easier to create a ROM or edit an existing one to work on this phone... I don't understand why the exynos ones are getting more attention.

According to https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ MSM8228 board is used by Samsung G800H (Galaxy S5 mini) and N7502. Also google shows HTC Desire 816 Dual Sim based on the same board and looks like that's all. But these other devices already have custom roms.
Please build a ROM for sm n7502 dual sim variant
Hello all,
I am quite interested in this phone cause I am searching for a Nexus 6 successor and I depend on wireless charging. Sadly there are no high end smartphones which will deliver this feature anymore.
Therefore I have two questions:
1. At this time there are two threee custom ROMs for the exynos variant and no for the snapdragon. Will that change?
2. How likely there will be an AOSP ROM and what version (snapdragon or exynos) will suffer most from bugs then?

Fairly certain the note 7 has wireless charging buddy.

I know, that is the reason I am asking two questions about ROM development and advice about choosing snapdragon or exynos
Ah I'm sorry I misunderstood. I can't speak for the snapdragon but I have the exynos and it's awesome. Excellent battery life and no heat issues. Sure I have read that the exynos is better for rooting but haven't looked into it in depth as I'm happy on stock for a while. I'm sure someone will be able to help soon.
get an exynos, more development
Hey guys, I'm coming from a Xiaomi phone which has a great custom rom scene. I've been searching about the S9+, and it seems it won't receive any updates from Samsung anymore. From what I saw on the Snapdragon Custom Roms subforum here, I've found this version's support to be quite lacking.
What are you guys thoughts on this phone in 2020? Should I get it or should I get another phone? Any suggestions?
No. Unless it's an unlocked bootloader varient then maybe. You'd be better off on a recent phone if you're looking for further update support.

I got a 9650 unlocked bootloader variant. Imo it is. We just got los 17.1 and havoc rom 10. Rooted magisk stock. All run awesome. Imo the scene will start picking up since los just got released. But as for sammy updates yea where pretty much done. But I love mine to death bought mine used just a couple months ago. But again you want the g9650 model. Not a g9650u u1 or w those are the American locked bootloaders. These are China and latin america models we got. And from years of complaints and study. Snapdragon unlocked bootloader is much better than exynos on heat and battery life. So best of both worlds

There's almost never been any roots available for snapdragon versions of Samsung phones. Buy a new phone.
There is a custom rom for SD s22 ultra, don't think any dev's went for the budget phone unfortunately
