Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (Exynos) Kernel Source code now available

Samsung Galaxy Note 9

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was released to the public more than two weeks ago. The phone has some subtle improvements over its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 . The Galaxy Note 9 has a slightly better screen, slightly better camera, and slightly better battery. To put it in short, it’s a slightly better phone. The most notable change is the inclusion of a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen. In typical Samsung Galaxy Note fashion, it’s packed full of extra sensors and features you won’t find on any other smartphone. But for those of you who love Samsung Galaxy Note phones for their build quality and specifications but not necessarily its software, you may be interested in installing a custom ROM on the smartphone. For that to happen, you need two things: an unlockable bootloader and the kernel source code to make custom recoveries and kernels possible.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has two hardware variants available, one with the Exynos 9810 system-on-chip and another with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 . We can unlock the bootloader officially on the Exynos variant of the phone. For the Snapdragon one, we have to rely on the third-party tools or exploits like SAMFail , which is not yet available for the Galaxy Note 9.

Even after unlocking the bootloader, you need to have the resources available to mod the phone, like a custom recovery, ROM, kernels, etc. Thankfully, Samsung has released the kernel source code for the Exynos Galaxy Note 9. Developers can now start building TWRP and custom AOSP-based ROMs for the device.

To download the source code, head to the link below, hover over the ‘Mobile’ section and go into the ‘Mobile Phone’ category. Then, use the built-in not-so-great search function and look up “N96” (without quotes). There is your kernel source code, named ‘SM-N960F_OO_Opensource.zip’. We can’t link the direct page because it’s broken, so we’re putting a link to the Samsung Open Source Release Center.

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers. Here, we’re not interested in the best on-demand streaming apps or places to watch TV online. We are only looking at the IPTV apps themselves. Specifically, we want to know what the best IPTV apps on Android are. 1. Lazy IPTV Our first pick is Lazy IPTV. It supports M3U playlists in open-view, ZIP, and GZ formats.
