So the likes of the new Material You theming engine, Smart Calendar, Smart Widgets, additions to Samsung Pay, virtual RAM allocation, the ability to use all rear camera lenses in Pro Mode, and using the ultra-wide camera in third-party apps are some of the noteworthy goodies that you are about to welcome onto your device. So without further ado, let’s check out the steps to install Android 12 onto your Galaxy Note 9.
What is Noble ROM: Features and Bugs
One of the most popular names in the Samsung Community, this custom ROM has always been known to provide the latest OS upgrades to devices whose official update cycle has long ended. For example, both the Galaxy S9/S9+ and Note 9 came with Android 10 out of the box and got their last official update as Android 10 (One Ui 2.5). However, Noble ROM did the noble cause of blessing these devices with Android 11 and then the latest 12 (both One UI 4.0 and now 4.1). What we really like about this ROM is the fact that it has managed to maintain an equilibrium between the features and stability front. So it manages to checkmark all the required feature sets but at the same time wouldn’t give you a bloated experience. Moroever, it uses the Arome Installer, hence you will have complete control what all the features you want and what you don’t, right at the initial installation itself. On that note, here are some of its other noteworthy features that deserve your attention:
