vjx012, 15 Sep 2023Just confirmed - got my Exynos S10+, rooted, LineageOS, NFS... moreI have tried Lineageos the other day, absolutely could not stand the default android interface with those bigg ass action bar buttons, no real themes no real cusomization. Samsung is light years ahead of google in UI design, i reversed back to stock :(. Battery life, indeed was great for the 1 day ai used. And the camera was just much weaker at night. Also, was nice having the september security patch 😇.
I miss cianogen mod days with their theme engine. Why Lineageos can't do that after so many years?

      AnonD-1090716, 14 Sep 2023You couldn't have said it better, straight to the point. 👏Just confirmed - got my Exynos S10+, rooted, LineageOS, NFS and L Speed.

      No throttling, no heat, no slowdown, no app-killing in background, and insane battery life.

      No reason to get the Snapdragon unless you like the feeling of having a Snapdragon and don't care about root and customization and custom ROMs.

      I can't live without the in-built system option that remaps the navigation buttons (like long-pressing the back button to kill the foreground app, double-tap of home button to instantly open previous window in recent apps list which means instant switching between two most recent apps), allowing you to turn on the torch by holding the power button when the screen is off, controlling the cursor with volume buttons, using Magisk to install modules, installing LSPosed Magisk module through which I enable Physical Button Master Control to remap the Bixby button to control music as well as launch the music player (you can launch any app with any button combination through PBMC), using James DSP with AutoEQ parameters and Magic Bass 25% convolver to change any sound systemwide (you can increase the bass to be 6 or more times stronger without sacrificing sound quality, you can set options fpr speaker, headset and bluetooth, and you can export and import settings), increasing the number of media volume steps to 60 with a Magisk module for precise volume control...

      A tip: PBMC 4.3 can import and export settings but crashes if choosing an app to load, while 4.2.1 can choose apps. Backing up and restoring app data with Neo Backup, which works almost every time save for a few apps like Signal, eBay and the banking app, doesn't work with PBMC hence the need for 4.3 and exporting settings. Also do two backups with Neo because it sometimes incompletely backs up app and data and this way you won't be left with an unrestoreable app.

      Solution: install the LSPosed app called Let Me Downgrade and enable app downgrades in the status bar quick tile so you can switch between 4.3 and 4.2.1 without Android preventing you to install the older version. Use 4.2.1 to configure button overrides. You can also choose to disable original button function in PBMC. Then install 4.3 and export settings.

      Bixby button is called Menu in LineageOS and you should set it to do nothing in LOS settings just in case, even though PBMC can disable the original function, if you choose to remap the Bixby button.

      Faced with that much freedom and options, why would anyone choose Snapdragon except if they're not sufficiently computer-literate to do all that?

      P.S.: if any app refuses to work because of root (like a banking app), enable Zygisk in Magisk options and add the offending app to the DenyList.

            Anonymous, 08 Sep 2023I strongly disagree with you! Exynos can never be any bett... moreAbout to get myself an Exynos S10+, should've arrived yesterday, cheap and in pristine condition. Exynos because of root and LineageOS.

            Before that, I had S9+ Exynos with 6GB RAM, LineageOS on it. But somehow, maybe because of a faulty charger, a surge of electricity fried some cirtuit(s) and it asks for PUK when I enter my SIM PIN, so is unable to be used as a phone but more like an entertainment device without the ability to use a SIM card.
            Let me tell you, the Exynos NEVER throttled, never got hot, and it was always blazingly fast. My current loaner phone, a regular non-plus S9, also with LineageOS, NEVER throttles. The only thing that makes it disappointing is the piddly 4GB of RAM, which means the phone constantly kills background apps and slows down when opening multiple apps, due to small RAM capacity making it load the entire program into RAM, whilst freeing up used memory, instead of with S9+'s 6GB RAM having enough free space and enough capacity to load programs blazingly fast as well as not killing background apps. I had to use Ultra mode in NFS Manager and tweak some L Speed settings so it doesn't slow down, but I'll be glad when the S10+ with its 8GB of RAM arrives, LineageOS, app backups through Neo Backup already prepared for fast restoration of all data and settings.

            Look at the benchmarks - the Snapdragon and Exynos are neck-to-neck, and the Snapdragon loses due to its bootloader being locked and unable to be unlocked, preventing rooting, installing another OS, tweaking and customization, you name it. And with LineageOS being empty (no apps to drain battery and so on), as well as being the latest iteration of Android, it literally breathes second life into the device. And the battery life on my S9+ was INSANE: browsing web through Firefox gave me 8 hours of battery life - the battery consumption showed it wasted 50% of battery after 4 hours, with another 4 remaining. This was through a combination of NFS Injector with NFS Manager set to balanced and tweaked L Speed settings. And guess how much battery life it predicted listening to music from my phone to a laptop with Bluetooth? 24 freaking hours!

            So yeah, go ahead and take the Snapdragon. I'd sell it right away if it was gifted to me and buy the Exynos instead because of LineageOS, root, Physical Button Master Control, L Speed and NFS Injector giving blazing fast performance with insane battery life and so on. Whatever little raw performance lead the Snapdragon has is nullified and reversed with the installation of LineageOS and tweaking the hardware through NFS and L Speed.

                  Exynos can never be any better because of inherent throttling which is its trademark!!

I reall... moreExynos can be rooted and you can install LineageOS 20 with Android 13, while Snapdragon is locked. Trust me, LineageOS on my S9 with NFS Injector magisk module turns it into a beast with many features and godly battery life. Install Physical Button Master Control with LSPosed magisk module and you can reprogram any button (ie. Bixby button to both control music and open external app like music player), including navigation buttons - install 4.2.3 first since 4.3 crashes when trying to reprogram to open an app, then use 4.3 to export preferences and you'll have succesfully reprogrammed a button and exported the button settings.

                            ChiefTimi, 01 Sep 2023Which do you suggest between a Galaxy S10+ and a Note 10+ ?... moreDepends on what you need, if you need a smartphone for normal usage or a smartphone for productivity.
                            If you go with the S10+ you'll get the 3.5mm headphone jack, the Note 10+ doesn't have it, apart from that, the Note 10+ gives you the Stylus for productivity and other things, if you will not use it for productivity the S10+ is fine, otherwise if the headphone jack isn't a deal breaker for you, go for the Note 10+, you'll get similar battery, same performance, but the screen would be bigger on the Note.

                                      I'm waiting for the release of the Xperia 5 5! I really need that SD card! {and 3.5 jack is bonus}. Or I'll rebuy my beloved sd855 s10 plus! But this time the 512gb version! I never had any problems with it! Still rocking it to this day! My brother has the same s10 plus but exynos version. So I can confirm that his is a bit slower than mine and the battery is slither better on mine! And the game emulator works just fine on both of them! So all in all regardless you have the snapdragon or exynos version, this is still a great phone! Cheers.
