Alternative Samsung S9 ios/firmware/software

[junglee060]

Hi Guys,
I hope you are keeping well in these uncertain times.

I have a samsung S9 which is couple of years old. Its a SM-G960F Exynos 9810 2.7GHz As expected the phone has become slow and the battery performance is poor.
I was wondering if there is anything i can do that is bit more substantial than resetting/clearing cache etc.

Are there any other android or other platform softwares available that are similar to use and let me use the app store.
I am happy to jailbreak if required. The phone is perfectly fine to me. I still love the camera and would like to continue using this phone.
Also gives me an opportunity to remove samsung bloatware etc.

I think i heard as the updates come out they drain your battery on purpose to force you buying into a new phone.
Is that true? Do i need to replace the battery regardless?

Surely theres a way of installing a whole new ios/software which is faster and improves battery life.

Any suggestions or there is no hope for this S9?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Welcome to Android Central! For the battery, you may just want to look into getting it replaced. No software will fix an old deteriorating battery.
