Kernel recommendations?

[rezapatel]

Hey All, I'm new to Samsung Note 9 960f. I've been on Oneplus devices for thr last couple years with ease of root and ample kernel options. I've rooted my Note 9 with the stock OS. Now I'm looking for a decent kernel to go with the stock OS that can help with general tweaks. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Bump... Or in the Note 9 world people aren't really active on custom kernels?

Everyone has different preferences so there is no best...Take a look at the dev thread and try some custom stuff for yourself to see what works best for you.

I totally hear you, I was just asking for recommendations. I understand, in the kernel world there's no best. Just that I believe there's only one kernel listed & available in the exynos development thread Thanks!

How it fairs compared to stock?

Also on the topic, it's a bit sad how dead the development section of note 9 is. Lack of ROMs and total lack of kernels and a lot of time passed from release.

Definitely nice so far. I've felt a slight snappiness over stock (could be placebo). Also I was experiencing random reboots once / twice a day until this morning (on stock). This kernel has been stable so far, hoping to not experience those anymore. Btw, I haven't tweaked anything on the kernel yet except for anabling double tap to wake.

And I hear you, the development on this device is fairly dull. I guess users are happy with the phone as is, but rooting for me is a mandatory exercise. I've moved from a Oneplus 6 which was one of the most vibrant development communities.

Experience has been good decent far, but ofcourse with the usual set of gripes of adjusting on 8.1 from 9, etc.

Thanks!

Quick question. How do you know which kernel will work?

Running Team Exy Kings, current baseband N960FXXU2ZRL6.

Tried Beast and it boot-looped. Although, I did flash the zip in recovery. Do I need to use Odin?

Been a long time since I last played around with Samsung's.
