Thank you for still developing and porting these ROMs for the Galaxy Note9. OneUI4 looks really great, but I don't consider to update, because of these many bugs which will most likely interfere with my daily using.😅 I know, that you are heading for the best and trying to get rid of most bugs - and that would be more amazing. Hopefully I can update to OneUI4 sometimes. Really - thank you, you give an 3.5 years old phone a new chance.👌

[@noblerom]

Will hopefully improve Noble 2 in next releases. This is still initial release

I just flashed my note9 through ODIN by inserting the 3 recommended files in it and it's working fine from Android 9 to oneui 2.5 android 10. Would you pls suggest if it would be good idea to flash it for Android 11 or 12 in 2023 if they're no bugs in these updates. Cuz in my region there's no official update after android 9 but have to get the Required file from google and process it via ODIN as recommended

Thanks for the review!. My only concern is the camera. have bugs? The quality of photos and videos is worst, the same or better than the original rom? Thank you! Long life to the S9+!

Tbh i haven't compared camera quality and can't say for sure, but member in our group are satisfied with the cam, so i assume it's fine in quality too.

[@itrane2010]

Very nice 👏👏

[@sorual4604]

Does NobleRom 2 maintain the S-Pen features? Like off-screen toke taking and such? Or are those just gone?

[@noblerom]

screen off memo and other air actions are working perfectly fine. Only AOSP based ROMs cannot offer these functions, but One UI ports are fine.

[@thezkiller03]

now the software version is 2.5 what difference are there to 2.1, are the battery optimisation significant or minor?, how annoying is the front facing camera bug when you want to take a quick selfie? i really couldn't care less about HDR. i feel as if the upgrade ain't worth it i'll just wait till the last build of noble rom version 2 for the most optimised build i think.

[@noblerom]

Everytime we have an update, the bug list gets updated, and you can also track our changelig in XDA release posts, but battery and performance is so much optimized rn

[@abdulaziz-kt5ih]

Are banking apps working and how's the experience been?

[@techxofix5704]

Ok i will install this rom. And sacrifice my custom rom dual sim to 1sim because mine is N varient. Since u refuse to care about people needed dual sim on N varients. So.. my question is will battery life be better here? Is the live focus works?. Because. My old superpie custom rom I was using is very good in performance and all. But the thing is it makes my battery low faster

[@noblerom]

We didn't refuse to care about N variant users, we looked for a way to mod it for enabling dual sim, but that way is not working anymore since android 11 and up. So we can't do anything about it(at least for now). And about the installation steps, i have to mention it's the same as One ui 3.1 port which i made, but this time better to use twrp 3.6 instead(one ui 4 port installation video is also uploaded, make sure to check it out). About live focus and all bugs i have explained everything in the video. Watch it carefully.

[@praveenpgeb]

super .... can confirm wether wireless samsung dex working???

[@noblerom]

Works fine 🙂 and 2.1 also released. You can check changelog in our telegram group or XDA thread

[@gazp6237]

great work buddy. i know we all aware of the front camera issue however since moving from 2.5 to version 2.6 i noticed the camera closes itself alot more than it did on 2.5 so not sure if you actually changed anything to do with that. thanks again your work is much appreciated. oh and while i thinking about it why does my S9 says i have a note 10 ? haha

[@noblerom]

Maybe you didn't Turn HDR off which causes cam to crash. And about the model number, cause the ROM is ported from Note10+, you can change it in build.props in system & vendor folder, but by doing this you won't get app updates in galaxy store & some other minor issues. So not recommended at all. Good luck

[@gazp6237]

@@noblerom thanks for the reply. yes HDR was turned off straight away in camera settings. its no big issue as rarely use front camera but i noticed it closes itself more often than it did on rom 2.5. many thanks

dirty flash and try to debloat some useless stuff using advanced debloat (dirty flash will not affect you data and apps). this probably fixes it

[@DannyFromBG]

Do you know when one ui 4.1 will be released for note 10 so Alexis can port it?

Donno, but as Samsung has been testing 4.1 builds since January, chances of N10 for getting it til the end of March is high. If not probably April

Cause the ROM is ported from N10+ You can change to N9 tho, but it'll break edge lighting corners. You can ask how in Telegram group if you wanted to.

After installing the ROM, will KNOX protection work?
