the phone thinks the pen is a mouse input.
once a framework is built to recognize it as a spen then a discussion can be opened.

[ROM][8.1.0][PRE-OFFICIAL] LineageOS 15.1 for Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos)
- Thread starter jesec
- Start date
once a framework is built to recognize it as a spen then a discussion can be opened.
it is recognized as a mouse in samsung rom as well(when it is hovering), they just replace the cursor to a hollow circle, I believe this is not too difficult to achieve.. when it is not hovering, it has pressure values just like the samsung rom, it is just up to the apps to utilize it or not,
look up squid they actually utilize the spen, and the spen button.
but I believe it is the other stuff like spen detachment actions or press and hold action to screenshot which are embedded in the UI itself and the apps made for it that make the spen unique,
but in the AOSP envirometn you can get some functionality by using one of the two apps:
GMD Spen Gestures or Spencommand, I would prefer the first one, you can even customize to do more like hold button and draw gesture to simulate the back button, it is really handy
I shared my setup, It doesnt look as pretty as samsung rom, but I achieved a more functional one (at least for my needs), check the second paragraph in this post and check the video at the bottom.
as for the mouse cursor: there was a way through xposed to could change the icon of the mouse cursor but I believe it is outdated now, but a little research I believe it can be done again, I believe it boils down to an image in the system folder that has to be replaced
and to finish this properly: most people will love the spen in samsungs rom, thats where it was baked and works the best, I do respect that. its just finding a way for people who like AOSP roms to get the most of what was lost

Also stuck at the boot screen, I've flashed a stock modification instead.
I will be waiting for a revised version which actually can boot, thanks for the effort putting in creating the rom.

Latest version is from 2018-10-18. There is not even an update with latest November security patches.
I have the feeling that this project isn't really alive (yet).
Maybe the dev is already working on a pie version. But that's just a thought.
Also I'm not sure that Jesec have a Note 9 for testing. It seems that he is using a S9 or S9+. Maybe that's a reason that there are no updates for this ROM.
I used ADB to debloat my stock ROM and will stick with it till a stable custom ROM is available.
Hi! Is any chance to future update this ROM? LineageOS on Note 9 work very good for me and I really like it. I want to donate for future develop.
Can anyone tell us as why LineageOS developed stopped for note 9 ?
It began so promising, this thread was one of the reasons for me to get a Note9.
@jesec, whats going on here? Please do not let this development die.

The second last screenshot is taken on a Galaxy S9+...
Actually, all of them probably are, given that no one has managed to get this ROM to boot.

I'd probably have bought the SnapDragon version rather than the Exynos one if I didn't see this thread.
Too late now, I just hope the developer has the time to get this ROM fixed and it can be merged to the main stream.

Well let's hope these AOSP Roms start droppin'. I'm debating selling my Note and keeping my OP6 cuz no Roms still.
Dont sell the note. Is a valuable phone, compared to OP6. Wait till March and everything will be ok. Pie is still very new, we have only one custom kernel for pie and that is in beta
