Custom roms that work for S9+ sm-G965U? - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

I've heard there aren't many options because this particular model is difficult to unlock the bootloader.. however, I have managed to find someone who helped me get it unlocked and I would really like to install a custom rom on it that removes all the bloatware, removes gapps, and also gets rid of Bixby. Is there anything like this that exists for the the Samsung Galaxy S9+ SM-G965U? What would you recommend? I am also on Snapdragon 845 and Android 10 if that helps.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I just realized I posted in the wrong forum. I don't see an option to delete this thread so if a moderator could delete this I will post in the correct forum now. Thank you

That's the million dollar question!

I take it there's nothing out there eh? So disappointing. It wouldn't be possible to install a rom for SM-G965F onto the SM-G965U would it? So long as the bootloader is unlocked, will it cause problems?

mind sharing how you unlocked the bootloader or who you had do it

Greetings everyone,
I am new to this, but, have learned a lot: and there's a lot to learn.
I have successively ROM-Ed my Phone from ATT Samsung 9 PLUS G965U (ARB7) Android 8.0 to Android 8.0 R16NW.G965U1UEU1ARBG, (My phone says SM-G965U1), using great information in the forum.
My question is in two parts, (I want to stay in Android 8);
1 - My network is in SPRINT, do I stay where I am at, for that network, or do , I ROM to SPRINT using Sprint Android 8.0.0 G965USQU1ARBG? I will need that file, if I do.
2 - I would like to get OREO 8.1 on the phone, and stop there; I like OREO 8.1 - Does anyone here, know where I can get it? And how to install in regards to the above?
Thank you..

[Android][UNSAMLOCK] Bootloader Unlock for Samsung US/Canada Devices

Worked like a charm for me. It's a service you gotta pay for. I took the leap though and wasn't disappointed. They're legit.

I second that! This worked for me too, as of this morning. But the main goal was to install something newer than Android 10 to my outdated smartphone.
Yes, it's now unlocked, rooted, on a custom kernel, with TWRP and with all possible warnings about running a modified software. But still on a stock ROM.
And now I'm puzzled - what can I do next?

Ok, I've just installed PixelExperience (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-12-unofficial-pixelexperience-plus-for-s9-s9-and-n9.4513473/) and it worked well!
I had to edit an Installer file inside the zip archive. There's a place with "assert" keyword where it compares the model/product name with "star2qltechn", and I had to modify it to "star2qlte" so that it could pass the check and continue.
Installed it through TWRP: first V4 TomKernel, then PE, then basic Gapps, and voi la!
(still need to fix Bluetooth editing some property file)

Could you share the edited zip or tell me specifically where you edited?

\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
There's a line I edited:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "star2qlte" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "star2qlte" || abort("E3004: This package is for device: star2qltechn; this device is " + getprop("ro.product.device") + ".");

I was able to install crdroid and pixel experience just by doing what @_SlaSh_ did I just had to modify the bluethot thingy and that was it.

Between Crdroid and PixelExperience, which one do you like more?

Well first used Pixel and the truth is good enough fluid system but I had a problem with whatsapp backups and the camera when you want to use whats web but other than that I would say that would return to it if not for that detail
Cr I changed it because of the problem of whats although the backups worked but the same problem of whats web still remains
but what I did see an improvement is that cr lets you modify issues that Pixel not as notifications, the status bar and others,
the other 2 I want to wait for a next update to test them.

Don't believe me?

Hello!
First and foremost, massive thank you for your work.
Second: it, unfortunately, doesn't work for me on my EML-L29TWRP (or I just messed up something). I followed the flash trough Fastboot command, installed magisk manager app but there is no supersu available like on your screenshots I have unlocked my bootloader properly ( get all warnings how my phone cant be trusted).
I just need superSU to remove retail demo app but if necessary I'm willing to debug software.
Also, I have screen captures to show my issue but because I am a new user I cant share them.

Only downside for now is you can only decrypt if you have no password set. Though

You might want to tell the builder to check the commit from TWRP for Pixel 2. February security patch causing that decryption problem when user have password set. But it has been fixed since march by DeesTroy.

On a other side, it's not a big problem. It's simple to remove security password, install twrp and root, and then, put again the security with password.
That was what we had to do with the OnePlus 5T at the beginning of the first versions of TWRP.
we hope that a functional and downloadable version will be available soon
On the other hand if huawei could allow to download a ROM Stock, it would still be safer in case of bad flashing or brick phone. But can we hope that soon, not sure.

[PIE]TomaHawk Project - take your privacy back!

Don't like sharing secrets with Google, but still want to use their apps like Play Store/YouTube and others?
AOSP Roms are not stable enough for everyday use or missing some stock functionality?
Do you want a device for everyday use that simply works and don't disturb with unnecessary functionality?
Do you want to get more juice out of your XZP?
If yes -> follow this:
TomaHawk Project

Extremely debloated stock ROM without Google Apps
Awesome performance, stability and battery life.
Most of the apps containing words "backup", "logging", "monitor", "smart" and other that may leak your personal data have been removed.
This ROM converts your G8141 to G8142, buy yourself a microSD slot for G8142 and use your XZP with 2 simcards.
Read more about NanoDroid here
You gonna need:​
TWRP
Rom base from here
TomaHawk Rom, GDrive mirror
NanoDroid, NanoDroid-Pather, Nanodroid-SetupWizard from here
Magisk 19.3
Installation:​
Install base with NewFlasher (your phone will be formatted)
Boot right into TWRP, flash Tomahawk_Project and Magisk 19.3
Reboot and run the wizard
Boot back to TWRP , run NanoDroid SetupWizard, then NanoDroid, then patching
You may update magisk now
Bugs:​Sony Messenger gives FC for less than a second, but works.
Use QKSMS for example and disable it.
All the questions regarded installation of NanoDroid or working of apps related to Google should be asked in Nanodroid topic! If you installed other addons such as ExistenZ don't report bugs here either.

Not sure about the details for G8188 (which I think is the Japanese variant). If your device is not the dual-SIM variant, you need to flash G8141 firmware.
And I'm not really sure about how to deal with a device that's lost its IMEI and baseband.

Well, I experimented with oreo,because I like it more than pie, but it's not that stable yet. There are some mystical bugs and bootloops, that doesn't make any sense at all to me.

Hi, Thanks for the fine tool!
Unfortunately some apps still label my 6.1 plus phone as (rooted)
Even after I flashed the DRG354H home B stock rom,
Everything went well, but the postoffice app here refused to log me in, saying that my phone is rooted! and its not!
Kindly if there is any fix to wipe the phone clean of any former root traces I'd be most grateful.
or if there is a full stock firmware file download link would be the best.

Can you be polite with your words, please? People are not getting paid to answer questions like yours.
Currently, there are no official unlock methods for ANY Nokia phones. But it still unlockable by unofficial means. You can search Google for that. Try searching for bootloader unlock service from techmesto or hikary. It costs around $5 to $8 depending on the status of your phone. Google is your friend, mate.
I hope you have a good day.

Thankyou!
I've been using this for a day now and I gotta admit, it's so smooth and reliable for now, nothing to argue about! I absolutely love this rom! Thanks for creating this for the S9(+) Hope we'll get more ROMs like this

Perfect thank you so much. I am glad it works. I need a screenshot of it working though to get the dev's approval. His rules not mine. So just dm me a screenshot in xda of it working please, so I can get it validated. (Screenshot of About Phone > Android Version in settings would be best)
Also a word of warning, I may be unable to create a rom for crdroid S (android 12), as I have no idea how to make rom sources. I just know how to compile roms with preexisting sources. So unless someone builds android 12 lineage os or something for the s9 and s9 plus, then the road may end here for this rom unless someone else picks it up.

@Linusrg1 I'm currently on crDroid 7.2, on the S9; can I update to 7.6 just by flashing the rom through twrp? Will that create any side effects maybe? Like losing data and such? I cba to make a backup as it's very high in size.

Thats what I did and it worked fine. If not make a data backup then start off clean.

I mean you sure it won't mess up with magisk manager and tasker? Since I'm just flashing the rom itself and not re-rooting?
EDIT: I've lost root, and it messed up with google apps, as in they were force closing. I've patched the boot.img for magisk to work again as in to re-gain root, and flashed google apps .zip, it seems ok for now. Also it seems it takes a second for the animation to pass through and to be able to enter the pin code on the lock screen after swiping, why's that?

Because you need to wipe system data cache and dalvik cache flash the rom and then flash data again.

It's all okay now, except I found the culprit to the 1-second delay for the animation to step in to enter the pin; when you set up face unlock, that bug appears. When you don't use face unlock but just pin/fingerprint combo, it doesn't have that delay when you swipe on the lock screen to enter pin.
I have the SM-960F/DS version of starlte, which I believe has the Exynos chipset, while the American version has the SnapDragon. Does anyone know if this ROM will have any issues on the SM-960F/DS or does the chipset not matter for the ROM?

well, for starters, Snapdragon models mostly can't unlock the bootloader. But yes, the exynos models with the latest bootloader (you can install dev base first and then flash this, if you're uncertain) should run this with no problem.

Sorry, I am somewhat new to the custom ROM scene. Can you explain to me how to check if I have the latest bootloader, what is the dev base and where I can get it?

ProtonAOSP​Android 12 ROM for Pixel 2 - Maintained by @EnesSastim​
Spoiler: SPECIAL THANKS TO
@Lunarixus on XDA (using his device tree, mentorship, and fixes. Wonderful work)
@RealOkabe on XDA for his build process, we only reached bootable state thanks to his work.
@ReallySnow on XDA for his work on Android 12 vendor. I consider him my teacher, and most of the Android 12 heavy lifting was done by him.
None of this would've happened without them.
ProtonAOSP is a minimal Android fork (custom ROM) focused on UI/UX and performance, with a touch of privacy.
Screenshots are attached.
​
What's not working: ​
You tell me... post logcats using my tool in this thread or you may get support in Telegram: Pixel Development & Pixel 2 chat​

Download
Download from here: Source Forge
This does not include OTAs, so you will have to visit regularly for security updates and the like.
Installation
This ROM is currently distributed as OTA zips. Flash it the same way you would, in a custom recovery. Don't forget to wipe all data using "fastboot -w" or using my tool before booting the ROM.

Any news about this rom on walleye?
Thank you!!
Yes waiting for the walleye support
Hello, many thanks for this works, unfortunatly i missed the link.
2 questions, can you send me link to donate for the walleye developpement of this proton aosp unofficial rom ?
Also, is this would work with locked bootloader ? or does not making sens with the configuration of vendor from 11 etc...
Also if u have another test build could you provide it.
Thanks.

Currently the ROM is in in unknown state @Dollscythe is trying their best to fix it so no links are currently available as the ROM wasn't currently usable and and no nothing is flashable if your bootloader is locked for anything to be flashable your bootloader must be able to be unlocked or set in unlocked mode otherwise the device is unflashable and to donate to them its PayPal and the link

I wouldn't recommend re-locking it but I know on the original you could but I would wait until @Dollscythe finishes up if they get the chance as things happen and they are supporting a phone they don't have so time is needed give them a few days hopefully they get a chance and they can answer better then I can as they are building it

Ok many thanks, no rush at all really, this would be perfect to have at least one stable build with this feature and the classics proton aosp options (more option on the permission manager, the press squeeze, and other things). after all (to me) all will be good.
