Well I would like to know since we have Project Treble Does somebody already tried to load a aosp Rom to s9 or s9+ ? That would be good since Samsung sucks on updates and heavy skin.
I think it is not possible.... The only thing possible was to strip Samsung Experience away and have AOSP that way.....
So will just have to wait on the first Devs....

Hi everybody
Recently I noticed a large interest in the subject custom ROM for Mega. Especially a lot was written about the AOSP. Please express, what do you expect after installing such ROM and why you do not like TW?
Another thing are stock ROM's stripped of almost all s-apps and other software deemed unnecessary in order to recover memory. Please share your opinions on the advisability of such action. Did you really needed all this reclaimed memory?
-reserved-
I expect most of the new features for S4 and Note 3 to be available in this ROM.
I still dont know if we can expect full 4.3 update. Some web sites claim that Mega wont receive this "Premium package" update whatever that means. I dont think that Mega 6.3 is a mid class smartphone and it would be plain stupidity if we stay out of good updates. So very important part for a custom RoM is the availability of the latest Samsung goodies from the flagman like S4 for instance.
Also I think that TW is not so bad, I like its interface.

Hmm, I was asking about expectation towards AOSP custom ROM-s as such CM or MIUI. As you probably know, many futures in Samsung stock ROM depends heavily on TW. Massive striping stock Samsung ROM from all s-apps could even cripple your phone. But installing AOSP ROM will means clean-out all samsung dependencies, so there will be not possible to run futures from S4 or GN3. maybe I'm wrong, let somebody correct me.
I think so TW is not so bad either and was curious why some people are so opposed to it. I was user of Motorola Defy which actualization stops on Android 2.3 so custom ROM's were only alternative. Now I am not so eager to strip my Mega to bare AOSP.
Yeah I missed the point of AOSP rom a little bit, but I strongly believe that a Samsung device without TW loses its advantages. I've been using Galaxy S with AOSP for a long time but I was forced to do it because of the lack of updates after 2.3.6
Samsung says that the new 4.3 update will bring new and fast TW without lags and constant refreshing. This makes me think that porting the new SW is better than Aosp roms. Of course there should be some roms based on CM cause many people preffer stock android instead of customized one.
I just want CM because it allows you to port MIUI v5. I have always been a fan of MIUI roms.
Why there is still no Lineage or a different Rom out yet? I dont mean the fRoms with stock, i mean stock Android.
Please i want stock Android on the Phone, i hope in future there will be roms.
I'm on your side, but I thing it's not gonna happen. Nobody wants to make a new rom for 5 users. The P10 community is way too small and Huawei made it not really easy.
One thing, I would miss with AOSP is the usage of the finger print sensor. I don't know if it's possible on stock.
I mean for the P9 there is lineage 14, it would be enough to me, there is no need for the newest android 8 lineage 15 rom, it would take also long until we would get lineage 15 for the p10, but stock android 7 is all i want to have.
And why do you want that?
Huawei kirin is not the best one for Lineage but for emui it is.
You will lost some great features if you install lineage.
If that's your favorite Android you should think about change your phone to Pixel or similar phones.

Yeah I can understand your point of view, and maybe it's not the best for stock android, but my P10 was a gift and in the moment I ain't able to buy a pixel sadly. Is it really that hard to build lineage 14.1 for the P10? I don't come along with emui it's just don't my thing, it's for me just like iOS for android and I don't like it, I love stock android and it would be amazing if there would be coming out a aosp or lineage rom.
I also had difficulties getting used to EMUI, but with the right theme (you can even install a pixel theme!) and Nova launcher, the look and feel are quite ok, I think.
Yeah thats true, there are a lot of themes out, but sadly not one has it all right. One theme have different colors in the download-section some gray and black statusbar icons and other one have false status bar icons on it self then it would be in stock, so i tried to get a complete theme by using the theme editor from the play store but it isnt working at all sadly, so i have to make compromises and thats not feeling nice if u want to have a stock oreo/nougat experience. So i really hope that there will be roms in future, if its needed i would have with all i can, test alpha builds etc, somehow the development must going to start at least now.
I wasn't a fan of EMUI at first but have to say I have gotten used to it and really do like it. Not a fan of most OEM overlays but this is one of the better.
Have you tried Lawnchair? On my G4 I used that from the get go and it was still in development and new versions released all the time but was only getting better for fully stock N/O feel. I haven't been following it since this but may be worth a look?
Haven't looked into yet either to see what it's like as still at work, but just had this YouTube recommendation come through on my phone too.
You dont even need such a launcher like nova or lawnchair, u can download the official Pixel 2 Launcher from here, from xda, just the official apk.
And i think when i use the Pixel 2 Launcher, i need to have the complete Android Pixel Stock expierience, its not mention to have any of the Pixel Launcher with that EMUI around it, its my opinion and i am maybe to much pernickety in such things, but thats how i am, and because of that i really wanna have a Android Stock Rom on this device.
Who here is waiting for a pure aosp rom. I know I am, i would rather a pure aosp rom then Samsung bloatware. Just sucks that we would lose all the camera goodness. With this device being treble enabled, it would be be long until we see aosp more quickly
I'm certainly in the waiting like since I do not want to pay over a $1000 and enjoy less features than my current nexus 6 had !!
I do not understand why for such expensive phone sams cannot make aosp edition with root preinstalled !!
I don't know why you buy Samsung to flash AOSP rom's on it, you have Pixel, OP, etc. You lose alot of features, AOSP aren't made for Samsung phones, i don't get you guys. AOSP is awesome but not for Sammy.

I have a nexus 6p (which I'm trying to sell at the moment) but I dunno, I prefer aosp roms to the bloat of the big companies, I wouldn't mind too much loosing some features just to have aosp
Hey everyone,
I don't no if anyone has noticed, compared to most flagship devices the S9+ doesn't have much custom Rom activity going on for it at present.
Are people actually developing roms for this device as even the standard S9 has more choice for roms to install.
I have the international G965F and would love to see some more options for our device from people who have made samsung roms great in the past e.g. bobcat, allience and so on.
At present I'm running soldiers custom Rom but would love to see more available in the coming weeks which isn't all AOSP based.
Unfortunately we are not going to get the Android P software anytime soon, but more options on Oreo would be great to choose from.
+1
I would assume the S9 roms could easily be ported to this device, best bet is to talk to the developers about it.
I'd like to get to as close to vanilla as possible. Not a fan of Samsung's ui or bloat. I'm coming from the tab s1 which had some pretty good roms. There are none for this device and it's almost 6 months old. I would make one myself but lack the necessary skills
Most of the newer top end Samsung Tablets get very little developer support since they cost so much. Happens with every new tablet having people asking where the developer support is for it. Samsung newer UI much nicer and any vanilla roms would take away most of the functionality that makes the tablets great. Apparently the S5e has some dev support.
Problem is Samsung seems to be super slow with there updates for the S7.
I've owned the S7+ SM-T970 for like just a week and I'm already feeling impatient waiting still running off the Oct. update while I keep hearing about about UI 3.0 update hitting there flagship phones.
Do you think at some point down the road when or before OEM support ends we can look forward to some working roms or Treble GSI options ?

Not everyone gets the update at the same time (don't know how they handle when and who should receive the update). I only got a November update a few days ago (though some claimed to have already gotten it) and it offered few improvements. The tablet still feels the same as usual.
As one must choose between custom ROMs and Knox (especially warranty), I'm currently at a loss myself, and for the time being I haven't heard of anyone trying (or succeeded in) booting a GSI on S7/S7+ probably because of this, although it's theoretically possible (again thanks to Treble). At least we now have TWRP... it might be better if one day custom kernels become available.
So far this is the only tablet I know that can offer 120Hz display. My current phone (Razer Phone 2 which is also 120Hz-capable) still doesn't have a specialized ROM but I can already run GSIs on it with adequate performance. For new devices, going for GSI might be easier, but performance-wise it still has a way to go compared to specialized ROMs.
Think it has to do with the fact that snapdragon is locked on samsung
