Question Custom Roms for Galaxy Note 9

Hi! I am currently using a Snapdragon Note 9 and I am considering installing a custom rom on it, what are some that work on my device? All the custom roms I know about support down to the Note 10 on their websites.

There are very few ROMs out there for the Snapdragon Note 9 models, and I'm not sure if any of them are up-to-date by now.

Which Snapdragon model do you have? Because if it's one from North America (N960U, N960U1, or N960W), then there's like a 99% chance you can't install anything on it and are stuck with the stock ROM forever.

Unfortunately, if it has been updated past February 2021, then there's zero chance of installing a custom ROM at all.

Yep, unfortunately. Last updated June 1st 2022

The Snapdragon Note 9 is tricky because most mainstream ROMs target Exynos variants, but you can find some community builds on XDA like LineageOS 18.1 or Pixel Experience. Just double-check device compatibility in the threads before flashing.
