Hi ?

No you can't, if you will restore your data partition backup you will restore all errors and all will be like before clean install…

I even don't recommend TitaniumBackup restore because it will possible restore some errors, it happened to me one time.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
What do you suggest? Install all apps from playstore and some apks, login and configure? . I have like 95 apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] D_Vovan_238:
Reinstall

You can use Google account restore, it will download all apps from playstore, but configurations will be not restored, also you can try Samsung Account Restore, I personally never used those options, since if I make clean install then I make really clean install downloading all apps from playstore and configurating all from the new…

If you use Samsung account restore it possible will restore all apps with all configurations, but for me it's bad, since bad configuration can be restored…

So if you want really stable and fast device make really clean installation!..
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] damjang:
I use TB + Samsung Smart Switch (to SD) + SMS Backup & Restore (for backup/restore call logs and sms/mms). :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Pehpe:
I used Titanium Backup for years. But the troubles got bigger and bigger with this app. And since a couple of months ago it didn't work anymore.

When I wanted to restore my apps I had to redo it manually sometimes. And most of the time it just stopped the restoration process.

Now I changed the app and I bought the 3C All-in-one tool. Expensive but it works really well. All apps got easily restored. As easy as it was with Titanium Backup years ago.

I'd recommend that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
I have a second backup. I used migrate. It's in playstore. I tested it and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] damjang:
Hm, seems interesting. Do you know if it also backups system data, like backgrounds, ringtones, icon/drawer positions on home and app screen, etc? I search but didn't find such informations. :o

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

I do a dirty update to 1.6 and all seems to work ok. I first update twrp to 3.3.1-1 (I have 3.3.1-0), then with odin flash modem+bl, reboot to twrp and flash AR1.6 and CSC tweek fix. Happy!

Thanks a lot Alexis. I offer you a beer :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
It just backup/restore sms, call logs, apps and data. The rest to do manually. At least I don't have to install each app. However Waze, Viper4android, Netflix, magisk manager and it's modules must not be selected because it wouldn't work after restore.

---------- Post added at 02:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

I am also searching for an app that would restore more than what Migrate app does, like accounts, wifi credentials, wallpapers, rom settings. If there is such app, migrating from one rom to another would be seemless. Most of us migrate from one rom to another, to experience it, compare performance, battery and eventually decide which rom will be his daily driver.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bobfrantic:
[MENTION=6114446]AlexisXDA[/MENTION] having an option to not root would cool. I uninstalled magisk through the magisk manager app and upon reboot was stuck on the first screen and phone didn't go any farther even after 25 mins.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
Can i ask a silly question...? You need to be rooted to install a rom, so why not install magisk...? You have already tripped Knox, so some apps won't work anyway, so what's the benefit of not having magisk..

Not having a go at you, your choice, just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bobfrantic:
I have to remove root due my banking app. Magisk can't hide from it. But I think you misunderstood my post. You do not need to be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
Flashing TWRP trips Knox... Whether or not you install Magisk, your phone is/has been rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Pehpe:
Root != TWRP

Triped Knox != Root
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
Exactly, whether or not you decide to install Magisk, phone is rooted...

[MENTION=2855249]bobfrantic[/MENTION] Bank apps nowdays look for Knox status, so if it's 0x1, won't work... Bank apps don't search for the likes of Magisk, SuperUser etc..
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Pehpe:
No, its not. You can safely install any OS on top of TWRP which is not rooted. Root means that you gain superuser rights INSIDE the system.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
Of course you can install any OS on-top of TWRP... That's not the issue... No one is arguing that!!

Once you install TWRP, YOU TRIP KNOX. These days, some apps, like banking apps, look for Knox status.. it doesn't matter whether you have installed a stock rom or Samsung image, Knox is tripped, therefore some apps won't allow access.

Installing a non rooted OS doesn't unroot your phone, nor will it trick your banking app, Knox status will forever be 0x1.

Don't think that installing a stock rom or official Samsung image reverses Knox, because it doesn't...

The only way to get this banking app to work is on a phone that has NEVER have TWRP installed and has always run official Samsung images.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] AlexisXDA:
Android 10 can't run without root I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bobfrantic:
I have had it run without root. Alexandr's rom has option for no root. Soldoer's mod had a no root option also. So your reply is totally wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] AlexisXDA:
My ROM had an option too in first releases but it wasn't working so I thought Android 10 was the reason since in Pie was working.

Surely is related to patched kernels the reason that Rom won't boot without root, so try to extract from my rom in Alexis/NoVerity the NoVerity.zip and from Alexis/Kernels the boot.img for your device and flash it through recovery, when you see rom isn't booting without root.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Pehpe:
Really? ? I'm not using banking apps on my phone. But I thought those apps are looking for root and not for Knox. I'd rather change the bank than to have a phone without TWRP and root...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
My former bank wouldn't work with a rooted phone, i reflashed stock rom, still wouldn't work due to the phone being 'modified'.

It sucked.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] bobfrantic:
I'll give it a try this week, thanks for suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
Did you change the name of magisk to another name, for instance it can be called as "manager"? It's in the settings of magisk to change its name. I did this, aside from tagging which app should root be hidden. My banking apps are working.

---------- Post added at 03:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 AM ----------

When the device is modified, it's a point of no return. Flashing stock firmware and kernel wouldn't work either. My suggestion, is to remain as rooted and custom, to not compromise stability.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] denz@:
What bank mate if you don't mind me asking ?

So YT Vanced it's not available anymore as Magisk Module correct ? can someone shed some light please ?

For some weird reason my ringtone keeps changing back to some default a lot no matter what I set up . Also noticed that when I select 24 hours time to be displayed it reverts back quickly to 12 hour . I'm still on v1.5 .
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
Vanced is an option during aroma installer in this rom.. you just need.to select it..

Bank was HSBC.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] denz@:
Yeah i remember now . Downloading latest version hopefully it will fix some bugs that I have .

No issue on my site with Comm B. Optus S. is the only app that's giving me issues so far . I guess some just check for root others go further and check bootloaders .
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
Yeah it differs from bank to bank.. I spoke to one of the HSBC IT guys and they said their previous banking app looked for Knox status...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] amanjeet@msn.com:
Hi Guys ... Magisk has an option to let banking apps work , it did work for me

open Magisk .... tap left top corner 3 lines..... open Magisk hide .... list of installed apps opens.... hide the specific apps... and you are done....

try it... it will serve your purpose...

Best!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Handeman707:
I still get random reboots, specially when I try too call, what can I do too solve it, without right too reinstalled a clean install version of the Rom?

Thanks Anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
This doesn't work all the time, and it didn't work with my former bank...

Just a reminder that this type of feedback is best directed to the dev of Magisk, it's not something [MENTION=6114446]AlexisXDA[/MENTION] can control.

This is still the best S9/+ rom out there!!!!

---------- Post added at 07:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

Did you restore any data when you last flashed the rom? If not, clean install is the best option, even if it means setting up your phone again...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Haxomen:
Hey is it possible to add LTE instead of 4g icon in those CSC tweaks? Thanks for the great ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
if I we're you, this is what I am going to do.

(1) Download Migrate (early access) from Playstore then backup all your apps + data.

(2) Start Clean. Do a wipe cache, dalvik, system and format internal storage

(3) install this ROM

(4) boot up and do initial setup.

(5) Go back to twrp and flash the zip created by Migrate. Don't worry this doesn't flash anything to the rom. It will create a folder and will put back all your apps. It will also install the Migrate restore app.

(6) Boot up ROM again and Execute Migrate Restore. Select the apps + data you want to restore. This restore app will see the folder created by Migrate flashing. After doing this, all that you have to set up is ROM specific like Wifi credentials, your secuirty e.g. biometrics, patterm, your wallpaper, your home screen, but all your apps from playstore or from side installing will be there.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
If you flash the July release of this ROM, did you ODIN flash the new Bootloader and modem? If you look at software information/ baseband, is it ETF2 or ETG3? If it is ETF2 then you should update this. Just a hunch.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Rafaezya Angin:
Korean version

Is this work with korean (N) version?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
[MENTION=1262300]alexndr[/MENTION]

There is no viper4android in your aroma? In any case, I installed Viper4android Fx 2.7.1.6 from Magisk and is working well. The Vanced Youtube didn't work after a while, adds appear eventually. No problem I installed Vance youtube and MicroG via Vance Manager. Your ROM is great, it's smooth, performance and battery consumption is okay. My device is Exynos S9+. Will Whitewolf worked in your AR1.6 and baseband ETG3? Many Thanks for a great ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Néocray:
Well, that is not universal. My wife's bank is HSBC, her phone is rooted with magisk and it hides itself from HSBC app successfully...
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] lataldragon:
Could you install the Rom on an S8 + with the appropriate boot loader? The hardware is almost the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] amanjeet@msn.com:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] amanjeet@msn.com:

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
What version of TWRP are you using..? Ive read of the newer (most recent?) version of TWRP having issues, system mounting may well be one of them.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] tarekboukaf:
im using the 3.3.1.0 but the newer one gave me the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
I recommend white wolf twrp 3.3.1.0.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
1) Reboot your device into TWRP Recovery.

2) Go to Wipe menu.

3) Go to Advance Wipe.

4) Select Data and go to Repair or Change File System.

5) Click Repair File System. (If not fix, go to step number 6)

6) Go to Change File System.

7) Select Ext2 and swipe to confirm.

8) Now change back to Ext4 and swipe to confirm.

9) Now go back and check if your partions can be mount or not from Mount menu.

10) If not fix, repair your Internal partition. (This may wipe your Internal storage).

If the partitions are now mounted, try and flash the zip again.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] X5G:
Hi I tried another kernel. I'm in this rom. I want to return to stock kernel. Which is better twrp restore \boot image only or dirty flash this rom? Thanks in advance. Appreciate your recommendation.

it's a pretty smooth ROM though i'm enjoying it i just hope there is a fix to that

Edit : i fixed the problem i flashed the ROM the first time with Different TWRP version now i Clean flashed the ROM again with TWRP 3.3.1.1 and i dont have that issue again

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Cross Device Development] raghavsharmaxda:
so i have this weird issue which might be/not rom related. i was on alexis 1.5 for long time and one fine day my both sim cards stopped showing networks. i reflashed csc which made it work like for 5 mins but then it got screwed again. sim cards do work as i have tested them on other phone too. i clean installed alexis 1.6 and then 1.6.1 , but problem still continues. Weird thing is that now i am left with a phone that says on both "not registered on network" but when i do a manual network search it shows both sim cards networks properly, (even though dialing a number still says nopt registered).

I assumed maybe it is my BL/CSC fault, IDK. so posting this here. if anyone can help me up, that would be great as i am stuck w no google pay or smart apps to do transactions, no sim card to receive OTP on for online transactions and thus cornered in a lockeddown house with only a wifi (which had expired like yesterday but luckily my CSC reflash worked during the first time for few mins so i managed to renew it).

if wrong section, then sorry. i just felt maybe it was an alexis onflict. idk. peace.
