Hi. Hope everyone is doing well here in 2022! First forgive me for any information I lack. I'm just an old guy who prefers to buy cash "new" older top model Notes for a discount because it works for me. Since now the option for the US is between being able to root vs carrier aggregation, having my phone reliable for communication is top priority for me so Snapdragon it is...unfortunately. Saying that, I currently have a Note 8 U1 that still working flawlessly and with CCSWE I'm able to disable what I consider bloatware and apps that I don't use daily and that gives me fantastic battery life even 2 years in. Obviously having the U1 firmware helps not having T-Mobile's crapware installed, including that bright-ass annoying splash logo at boot-up...and that's what I'm getting at.
I would like to purchase a Note10+ 5G (N976U) but I noticed they don't have a U1 version nor know if there is an U1 firmware that could be Odin into it. Again, i would love to avoid any extra bloatware. My other option would be buying a N975U1 but I would be missing the 5G benefit. I'm also unsure if at this moment here in my location (Tucson, AZ, USA) having a 5G enabled phone is a huge improvement for data speeds, especially for someone who gets along well streaming Netflix at 4G LTE (the biggest strain I would put on a phone nowadays). I usually keep my phones for 2 years so I would have to be committed for a 5G...less phone for that time. At last, I emailed the developer of CCSWE and was told it works with the Note 10+, but with Android 11 in it I'm unsure. I would love to someone to chime in on this also. I would appreciate any info and opinions on this. Thank you very much and have a great one!
