Hey all, i am thinking of buying a note 4 and in my country they sell both variants the F and the C, I dont care much about custom aosp roms and i would like to ask, the S6 firmware when it comes on what variant it can be ported more easily? If not the whole rom then maybe most of the features?
Thanks
Up!

It's possible but I wouldn't expect to see it for some time. First we need the device. Also the Source for said device/kernel. Also the source for your device your porting to. Then there has to be a developer; with both devices, has time to develop, willing to share it, has not left XDA, and is willing to support and fix any problems. Basically flip a coin. Guess heads or tails. That's your answer.
There is a posibility that we'll get the new touchwiz UI in a later update..5.1 maybe.
That is why i am asking, to me as i understand N910C is the more powerful CPU, i don't play many games so for me its my first choice, but in terms of support we all know that the exynos doesn't have any sources, so i am asking if and when the S6 comes, will i get the ported touchwiz hypotheticaly or the snapdragon version is easier way to be ported?
Hey everybody! I rooted so many devices in my life, like Asus, Motorola, etc, but this is my first Samsung device, and I want to know: root is a good idea on Galaxy A9 Pro? I know that I can't acess knox and Samsung Pay again with root, but I don't care, I mean: The performance and battery continuous the same thing? Thanks!
A9pro root is possible.. TWRP also is present. But only 1 custom rom is there. No dev support for A9pro otherwise. So better stay stock if you can. As far as battery life is concerned, go with Package Disabler Pro for better results.

Totally agree with you mate.
As you`ve mentioned actually there is no development for this beast. And Sammy has also almost zero support for this device (not even Nougat update yet. still on MM!) Though I`ve rooted my device (usually as I always do with every devices). But obviously with stock MM.
BTW, I`ve searched a lot in web, but can`t find any device like this one, which has a great XDA support. Have you any idea ?

Mi Max Prime is a good option. Actually the battery of MiMax is lasting longer than a9pro in all stock.

M8, you have rooted haven't you. After rooting, what changes have you made? Care to share please...
(Also, oneplus 3t is a good option as far as dev support is concerned, but battery only 3400mah)

Thanks mate for your sharing.
Mi Max Prime is a good phone, but the only issue is Hybrid Sim. Can`t use it with Dusl sim and SD card. I need dual sim with dedicated memory slot.
OP3T is alsao a very good choice. But battery is only 3400mah (as you`ve mentioned). I`ve read somewhere in web that OP5 is comming (though I think it`ll be more expensive). I think getting a device according to need is really very hard.
Now come to your point - after rooting I`ve installed Xposed with some modules, audio mod, S8 launcher, Xwidget app etc. Searching some ported S8 apps (theme centre, clock package, gallery etc) for installing. I`ve tried S8 Themestore app, but it`s not working. This is my setup for my A9 Pro right now. It would be very nice if there is a ported working AOD app of S7/S8 (like A7 - 2017, C9 Pro). Though it`s not possible right now. Coz there is no custom kernel/ Rom released for our A9 Pro yet. As it is a kernel related feature, this app is not ported by any Dev yet. I think it`s an excellent device, but there is no development for this device. That`s why I`m thinking to switch over to other device. But can`t find any device aqccording to my need yet.
True. Aod would be nice. Have tried playstore alternatives but those don't work as good as s7/s8 aod. + battery drain. Even nougat won't bring aod to us. Sad.

You`re right mate.I`ve tried many customization app from PS. But almost each app has the common issue - that is battery drain. That`s why it`s always better to have this type of custozation app as rom - native.
BTW, have you any idea about when our A9 pro will get official Nougat ? Or whether it`ll get or not ?
A5 already has got, but A9 pro not yet.
Really confusing Sammy. :silly:
Was about to talk on nougat. It's such policies of samsung that makes me mad. A5 gets it first not a9pro. (A7 too now)
Did you happen to use substratum theming? Any idea? Will it work now that you are rooted?
Regarding dual sim issues of mi max, go for 128gb prime & use dual sims. I used to do that.

Well said mate. :good:
Undoubtedly sam`s policies are very strange and it can make anybody mad.
A5, A7 has got official android N and good XDA supports too. I `don`t know why ? May be these are the most popular devices in A Series. Really sometimes I feel very disapoint about A9 pro. There is no development atall, even after a year !
BTW, do you have Mi Max Prime still now ?
If so, as an user, what is your feedback about this one ? Is it really a good substitute of A9 pro ? Would you share your feedback/personal experiences with me ? I think it`s better to use PM instead of this thread.
And for Substratum theming - I think it`s a theme engine based on CM, and we can`t use it in TW-based rom (may be I`m wrong). I`ve to studdy about this. But really it`s a good thing for our A9 pro, if We can use it.
Hallo to All,
since Sony is not going to do anything about the z3 being vulnerable, one has too root it and use a custom rom.
Well there are roms for Android 7 and new ones for Android 8 and the z3. BUT.
How do I know that the necessary Snapdragon 801 patches are included.
The entire custom rom thing it not really clearly laid out in that regard.
It would be great if any one could point me to a rom which solves the spectre / meltown problem.
I really do not want to scrap two perfectly good one year old z3. I know there were not recant releases when I bought them but since there are good phones powerful enough for what I and priced reasonably why not buy an use them
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards.
Benjamin
I've been looking for info on this also
Hello,
I still use my S5 as my only phone.
So far I'm pretty happy with it, but as Samsung gave up support quite some time ago, I'm asking myself it there is a solution to get security updates again.
The problem: I really want to keep MHL support and as far as I could find out, LineageOS doesn't have MHL on the S5.
Are there other (actively developed) projects that offer some updated Android OS for the S5 with MHL support?
Thanks in advance
