Kernel sources aren't only for root users but that true with root is more possibilities.
Some mods like changing TCP BIC to CUBIC are possible to change in kernel but than you can't change they from system without root.

fair enough

Does this mean, ROM development may pick up pace für Exynos model?

---

Does this mean that there will soon be custom firmware for these devices?

---

hopefully.. plus twrp team should be working hard to give us custom recovery for exynos processor soon.

---

If nobody build twrp with samsung sources, we will never get custom roms.

And this can be?

Do you guys think there will be anything for the Hong Kong Snapdragon? I'm waiting to receive one of those because I wanted an unlockable SD855. I know the development will be sluggish compared to the Exynos version, but it's for later anyway.

I think yes but maybe later, i had Galaxy s6 Hong Kong version and i had too access to kernel source.

Hong Kong uses Exynos processor. Only china uses snapdragon and USA and some other countries. So if you bought an s10 from HK and it has snapdragon then it's not originally from HK. I know this because I live in HK and Shenzhen china. I bought mine from Singapore. S10+

s9 have some snapdragon unlocked bootloader, and have only one kernel and rom., samsung snapdragon variants is not for root users

---

The source codes for Snapdragon variants are up as well. Search by SM-G970U, SM-G973U & SM-G975U.

Well, at least there should be a custom recovery and there is a kernel and rom, so it's not that bad! I'm sure eventually it'll receive more updates when Samsung no longer does update the S9.

I'm getting now confused ... I'm in contact with Hong Kong sellers at the moment. According to the sellers and the internet the HK version is a unlocked Snapdragon version.
Wilson is an official Samsung reseller and they list the S10 (SM-G9730) Snapdragon version. https://www.wilsoncomm.com.hk/product-display-1806
I'm in Singapore and here is only the Exynos models available I wanted to order a Snapdragon version from USA but then I learned that it has a locked boot-loader.
How was the custom rom support for the Snapdragon versions of S8 and S9 in the past?

That's really weird because when I went in the Samsung store in HK they said it was Exynos in HK. But I ordered from Singapore because of the 2 free gifts. (Duo wireless charger and galaxy buds) yes I can confirm Singapore is Exynos.
