Custom ROM chances? - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hi dev,
Why aren't there many custom ROMs for samsung s20+ Exynos or s20 series devices?
I feel oxygen os 11 would look great on s20 series devices.
Is there any component of device causing no custom ROM development?

Well... I had an exynos Note 10+ and the development for that phone was pitiful and was why I sold the phone. Thinking of buying an S20+ but only if I see some active development or at least plans

Well as phones ar getting more expensive and rooting less viable, I really don't see a bright future for custom rom development on future samsung phones.

Agree, valid reasons for rooting are evaporating. With app based options offering solutions and Samsung making it more and more challenging it's hard to justify. Especially when one considers the prices for a top shelf device and a very real possibility you'll brick your smartphone. Firmware and CSC's are much more complex than 5 or 10 years back, it's not like the good old days when rooting was more straight forward. With that being stated much of the push for rooting comes from users who fail to investigate which device is best suited for their needs, even within the same model line.

Buy an OP phone if you like that, the S20`s have different hardware so most likely not possible.

Note 7 advice

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?

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

Is the S9+ snapdragon version still worth getting?

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

One ui 5 for all note 10

Hi guys.
The Note 10 series is already in quarterly updates except for the lite model.
The reason for this thread is to make a joint request to Samsung to consider that the update to android 13 is not limited only to lite models.
A petition was created for it and all those interested in participating with their signature are welcome.
Thank you very much to all.

Upgrading the entire Samsung Note 10 series to Android 13

LOL, try smacking your head against the wall instead. This has been a constant thing since the dawn of Android.
Samsung WON'T upgrade the Note 10/Plus to Android 13 simply because it will bite into their sales....
They want you to get a shiny new toy, not play with that cruddy old thing you have now, and not supporting newer Android updates with all the nifty new features on your older phone is a way to make you upgrade...

Logically they want you to buy a new model. But why the lite with inferior hardware yes and not the superior ones of the same series?

It was released later.
Yes, it came out later but as one more of the note 10 series. That is the reason for the request. I understand Samsung's update policy but we are not talking about a single model, we are talking about the top-of-the-range family in its day. The stupid trend of releasing 20 models under the same name. Then these things happen and people get angry and rightly so.

Lol, why care? Android 13 might be worse than 12 especially for the Note even if Samsung did do it
I'm still running on Pie on this N975U. Current load is over 2yo, still fast and very stable with minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue... what's not to like?
Upgrades and updates can and do break Samsung's. No plans to touch my firmware as long as it's fulfilling its mission.

I respect your opinion and the decision not to update. It is true that Samsung is not always right with its updates and personally I think that one ui 4.1 and android 12 ruins the phone, it does not run smoothly, it has excessive battery consumption among other failures. But, did you try one ui 5? I'm running the beta on my s21 ultra and I think it's one of the best updates I've tried in years. Without being a final version, the improvement is very remarkable. This is another reason to ask Samsung to update all Note 10 series models. Forget one ui 4.1 and its bad optimization.

Edit.
I want to emphasize that the only thing that is required is a signature. As written in the petition, it is completely free and donations are not accepted.

Thank you. I've seen Samsung upgrades/updates break phones too many times. Any improvement that could be had by upgrading be marginal at best with my N10+'s and more likely would be detrimental.
I have two N10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10.
That's what they came loaded with. I think the Pie variant is the best of the two. Never used Android 11 or 12 because I have severe doubts about scoped storage. Don't want it.
Be interesting to see a side by side performance test between 9, 10, 11 and 12.
At this point both Samsung and Google Android are completely off the rails. No desirable new flagships from Samsung and Google is still chasing down endless rabbit holes making their OS less functional and the user a slave to cloud apps/storage. Sorry, but I see no point in even trying to reason with either company.
No Sale, they both can just f-f-fade away...
Is potentially possible to get a Custome ROM for SM-N975F like copy 1:1 from Note 20 Ultra Android 13 OUI5.0 .
Maybe creating new upgrade ROM for that phones .
there is a phone called samsung m62.it has the same chip like note 10 plus which is exynos 9825.i think android 13 port can be developed for note 10 plus.they did that with note 9 as it has the same chip as note 10 lite
Is possible to port stock original ROM A13OUI5.0 from Note 20 Ultra, which is almost the same phone without chip and some other parts but have now upgrading and is the same series Note`s .
M62 is Very old and not upgrading to A13.

Hi.
Did you read the petition and the messages? The note 10 lite is the only one that will receive one ui 5. The rest, 10, 10+, 10+ 5g will not be updated. The signatures are few and they increase very slowly and I don't know the date of the update for the lite models although I am sure that when people start to see the great improvement that android 13 and one ui 5 supposes the signatures will increase rapidly.

Hi.
It's time to share the petition en masse. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with updating to one ui 5. It's just a matter of ignoring the update but please help those of us who would like to update. Thank you very much to all.

I have to signed the petition.
How about porting from Note 10 A13 to Note 10 Plus ?. It is possible that?.

Question S22 Custom ROM development

Hi all, I'm considering buying the s22, as I like the design and compact size compared to pixel 7. I hate oneUI though, what are the chances that s22 will get a daily driver-level stock android ROM? I see that GSI ROMs have quite some bugs, and can't be used as daily drivers. I also see that S21 still doesn't have stock android ROMS, which makes me feel that S22 is also unlikely to get one sadly

Question Custom firmware

Hello. Can I hope for some custom roms for this device later? I really enjoy custom roms but I don't like buy xiaomi phones again and found this phone in really good price! example redmi note 12 pro has same proccesor but it's more expensive and miui has some limitations among features.
Can I hope for custom rom or AT LEAST is samsung sharing kernel source of it's phones and is it possible to make one myself later after learning? I have some plans to learn android developement

You can learn to develop your own ROM.
Everything shared here on XDA is essentially a hobby. Developers work for free, and often focus most of their time and effort on devices they already have. The best way to get something ported to your particular device is to learn to do it yourself.
