Read last line in post you have quoted
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Star56IQ:
There is

Download : DrKetanROM.com

But when i go to mediafire i found just R10
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shaharofir:
Status: testing
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] marcjuh:
@dr.ketan .... is there any news on the camera wakelock? Is it still there?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It's there as it was.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Star56IQ:
Is the rom still in testing?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shaharofir:
Unless posted by @dr.ketan ,yes
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
I'm pretty sure @dr.ketan posted a screen dump showing his safety net had passed on A12..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bmonteiro:
I was able to pass safetynet using the new 2.1.1 @kdrag0n safetynet fix module.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Is this via magisk? Whats the module called please?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Legend, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Can someone please confirm what options we need to tick in TWRP TO backup the rom?

Just the large img file?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
I can't find it mentioned in the thread so apologies if it's already covered but I had to go back to stock due to an issue I had with this rom, despite paying for Tweaks Pro.

My phone would appear to be working fine, but when I made or received a call I couldn't hear the person on the other end and vice versa. A reboot would fix the issue only for it to happen again a few days later. I thought it must be the dirty flash I performed from R7 to R8 but I flashed R10 from scratch with a complete wipe and it still happened. I then flashed back to stock and the issue hasn't happened in nearly a week now.

Any ideas? I'd like to get back on this build, especially having paid for Tweaks Pro.

Model - SM-G998B/DS 256gb.

CSC - VOD.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No one else have reported any such issue. If you have already flashed stock then now try again R10 with full wipe (without TweaksPro) and see if issue appears, if no issue then install TweaksPro. In case appear again, then take log

Usually this kind of issue happens with magisk/xposed modules
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
Thanks I'll give it a try.

FYI Xposed wasn't installed and Magisk was only being used for Root so no modules.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
When you updates rom without flashing stock in between, you are missing updating csc files. Though it is hardly gets changed but yet sometimes it can. So in case of any weird issue, always recommended to flash full stock rom and then same base custom rom recommended
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Star56IQ:
SB1(A12) Why its take this long of time
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Because there are some bugs, No ETA
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] murtadha2001:
will oneui 4 beta be released anytime soon?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shaharofir:
as written before, no ETA.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
Started doing it on stock, so a problem with the phone. I've turned off AFWall+ firewall, perhaps I was blocking something that needs an occasional connection. I've also swapped the phone app to Google.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] marcjuh:
Did you dirty flashed the beta a12?

Had yhe same issue...clean flash did the trick
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beefheart:
Nope, not gone near the beta yet. I have flashed back to complete stock now on VOD CSC (3AUHD), with only Magisk added for root. And it still does it. I also changed my SIM to an eSim to rule out the sim card or the sim card reader, but it made no difference, I still had silent calls after a day or two.

But I'm wondering if Afwall+ was stopping a service required on the newer builds, as I always have it blocking all apps including system apps, unless access to data is a requirement for the app to work. So I have now disabled the firewall. Also, as indicated above, I've installed Google's dialler app for both incoming and outgoing calls. I would have thought the fact a reboot fixes the issue each time means it's not a hardware fault. I'd hope so anyway.

It's clearly not this build anyway, so I can flash it back on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Do people on Beta A12 think its best to wait for the next version..?? B1 doesnt seem to be that stable, which is understandable.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sithlordpt:
Probably those who said that have some type of problem with some app consuming battery. Regarding the cameras check this thread and see @BuPL comparisons. April's update improved the cameras dramatically.

Also, battery life has been amazing too.

People need to stop spreading lies and misinformation. There was people talking sh*t about battery life just 1-3 hours after update. It's ridiculous. The phone needs time to settle.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] MasterHack10:
I can't agree mote with you. I didn't have flashed yet only because of that reviews.

BTW 9 and a half hours of SOT? How is that possible? I only have 1 hour and only have 89% battery left
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sithlordpt:
With 120hz and QWHD+. March and April's update really improved Exynos variants.

The only thing I did was a wipe partition after update and stopped background activity on those apps I don't use everyday.

You can do this too going to Wi-Fi - Wi-Fi Data Usage. Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I am not using S21 as primary device but reserved for development so yet couldn't find proper SOT, but I can tell battery is awesome in idle on R02 (April base) Here after 28 hrs battery drainage is just 12%, less than 0.5%/hr with wifi, mobile data and bluetooth aways on.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] MasterHack10:
Thanks for all replies. Later today you will have a new ROM user @dr.ketan 😂😂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] skhinev:
Tell me, will this firmware fit the G 991 b/ds ? and another question, the firmware allows you to choose which applications to install and which ones not ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Only S21 ultra (G998B) supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ffuser1:
Any plan to support other devices like the G998U? Or too much work / too much would break?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Mo, there is no plan to add support for other variants
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
What version of ViperFX do people recommend with this rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zidane02:
Battery life April Security Patch is awesome. I do not have any problem. Dirty flashed over R01 btw.

I have question doc, when i flashed super.img using R02, it flashed around less than 30 seconds. is that normal? when i first flash the super.img coming from stock, it takes about a couple of minutes. I don't have problem booting. so i guess its normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zidane02:
I am using 2.7.2.1 bro.

Hey bro, I have a question. When you dirty flashed R02 over R01, did you first remove fingerprints/pin/password? Because I usually remove them first before dirty flashing when I was on Note10+ as it was mandatory, or you will not be able to unlock your phone.. So I am applying this on S21 Ultra also. I just wanted to know if you did not, so I will not remove them when R03 is online. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Thanks bud.. Ive installed it via Magisk, rebooted, but I dont have the ViperFX app icon to start it...

It's invisible.. haha
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
I was concerned it wasn't installing properly either, it took about 45 seconds... Amazing for a 11gb file!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zidane02:
Yeah i was too. But when it booted properly, I assumed it installed properly lol.

You need to install the apk manually. check your internal storage and look for folder ViPER4Android, it will have v4afx.apk
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Legend... TYVM.

Amy fix for the processing saying NO?

Do I need to update it?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zidane02:
Turn on legacy mode then check..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Hi there, since I was using my Note 5, then s9+, I never backed up the security partition as it was not necessary. I would assume this must have just been a Note 10 thing, which I skipped.

When I flashed the R02 over the R01, I did not wipe anything at all. I did try to backup the according security partition in TWRP but it did not manage to backup probably due to encryption. Still, I flashed without removing my fingerprint or passcode and everything worked fine. The super.img does not touch the security partition so there is no reason to damage it.

Regardless, even if during a dirty flash the security partition gets corrupted or something, you could just wipe it and all must be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zidane02:
Thank you so much. I will keep this in mind.. I will not remove them when R03 is online, as it is a very wasteful step for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Did that... No, I've tried everything, can't get it to process...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Who are ready for A12 (SB2)?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Sb2 is ready and it ill be available soon once I finish changelog and Instructions. Stay tuned!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
SB2 (Based on Android 12) is Online now.

Must read Special instruction to flash A12 + Usual ROM installation. Read above for more details.

.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] vegetaleb:
Hello Doc

Just to be clear about this particular thing, can we use banking apps now with your rom or some of them will show a security problem?

I don't want to root and loose access to my bank accounts
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] founchki:
Dirty flashed from r10 to sb2, worked like a charm! thanks :D

just had to re-register my fingerprints and allow notifications for each app, but other than that no issues what so ever, thanks :D

Edit: google pay isn't working but I spose that's as per other reports of gpay not working on the beta regardless of root or stock, safety net passes with the supplied fix
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] founchki:
It should be fine, i updated to SB2 with rooted/safety net passing and no issues, google pay working aswell
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Malik Sayriii:
Thankyou Sir, This SafetyNet Fix Works for N976B..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] vegetaleb:
Is it true that oneui 4 gives Raw for telezoom cameras?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] infoenekas:
Hello, Dear Doctor. I had questions. If I want to flash the official rom again, can I have the secure folder feature again. A friend of mine has done this and cannot use the secure folder now on the official ROM. Has a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Secure folder never worked correctly on S21, may be you can use only app, adding file was broken since day one. Haven't tried to go back to A11 so no idea and no plans too.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sputnikk23:
Wait so, dirty flash works? I thought changelog said clean install is required.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] hthiengo:
Hi there!

I'm currently at AUHB (August) update and my device's CSC is ZTO (Brazil), part of OWO multi-csc. Can I flash the OneUi 4 Beta version of this ROM? Or do I have to wait for the AUHD update first?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yet no ZTO oneui 4 available so you have to flash rom and skip flashing csc files. If you have any weird bug, that could be due to lacking 4.0 csc. In that case you can return to R* rom. If no bug then keep using it
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bmonteiro:
Hey there!

I also live in Brazil (my device is also an Exynos one) and everything works properly.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Have you flashed csc files or skipped it?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bmonteiro:
Skipped, and at least everything that I use which relies on CSC, for example VoLTE works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] founchki:
I also skipped the csc files and everything seems to be working as intended, Vodafone AU is my carrier
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Thank you guys!

It's been just 24 hrs and nearly 100 downloads, no any bugs yet reported so glad to know users are happily using beta. Specially those users who are on non OXM csc and have no scope to test beta officially.

Again thank you all for trust and love for this ROM.

Dr.Ketan
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Alexio34:
Good evening, sorry but I let my phone to assistance so now i’m trying to install it but I have a question with the premium package , I have an apk to activate extra functions or directly a rom zipped with all addons? Thank you again, bye
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Can anyone confirm they have dirty flashed from R10 to SB2 with no issues please?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] founchki:
Can confirm - had to re set up my fingerprints and allow notifications first time i opened an app but it *is* possible, I didn't flash a CSC either
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Thanks Champ...

So confirming you used the previous method as per normal... :

Flashed the IMG file

Flashed the Rom Zip file

Rebooted into DL mode, flashed AP, BL and CP

Rebooted, apply essential fix and off you go...

Also, if i want to back up my A11 rom, what do i need to select in TWRP, just the IMG file?

Appreciate your help...

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] founchki:
Flashed the provided twrp first in AP slot

Flashed the super.img

Rebooted

Installed the zip

Flashed AP BL and CP

Flashed zip again (it didn't work the first time)

Booted

Applied safety net fix

Reboot

If you want to back up I have no idea how to or what to backup, I did a backup of my data and apps using swift backup in case
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Thanks, all seemed to go well.... I didnt have to flash the ZIP twice, but it did throw up some mounting errors whilst flashing the rom zip which ive never seen before

Optimizing apps as we speak...

Dirty flash went well. Just a few apps here and there that are not responding, but no big deal.

Safetynet fix isnt passing, so ill look into that further...

(UPDATE: USED THE RIRU METHOD, SAFETYNET PASSES NOW)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tuanduy7453:
On SB2, Secure folder not working.

Is this Rom's fault or One ui 4.0's fault?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Secure Folder hasnt worked on the S21U properly for some time.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Premium features are just an application you needs to install, ROM zip remain samefor all.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] WayTooRowdy:
Yep
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Thanks mate, I've since flashed with no issues, but thanks anyway...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sezbad:
Update from R10 to A12_B2. Smooth so far, SafetyNet passed. Notifications are off by default. No issues but the circled below information is confusing. Can you please confirm if it's normal or did I miss something?

Spoiler content hidden.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] founchki:
I have no idea what you've done but good work lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Show me modules you have installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sezbad:
Here. SafetyNet passed and Xprivacylua pro is working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Unnecessary modules you have installed caused this mess.

For safetynet only two modules requires as explaind in changelog post

Also busybox module not required, remove all these and you will have correct info.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TrevorAshley:
Hi! So no need to flash that CSC stuff that came with SB1?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If your csc is part of OXM, you must flash it. Already explained in installation instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TrevorAshley:
Hi Doc! Is CSC files of SB1 exactly the as as SB2?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Obviously, bcoz there is no base update.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Guys how is the A12 so far?

Are there any noticeable improvements on the camera, or maybe it got worse?

How is the speed of the phone generally?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
I think the phone is snappier.. Ive noticed the installation and opening of app/games etc is notably faster...

Have not used the camera yet so i can provide an feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] WayTooRowdy:
I flashed CSC. But did a dirty flash and have had no issues. Have to allow the app notifications, but that is all.even my finger prints stuck
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zidane02:
Hi there budd. Did you dirty flash? I want too because I don't like to start over setting up my phone. If yes, is everything fine? Thanks budd.

Edit 1: Successfully dirty flashed SB2 over R10, but I am facing soft reboots when connected to wifi or mobile data. Turning off wifi or mobile data soft reboot is gone. Then if I tried to connect again, after 5 seconds it will auto soft reboot. What could be wrong?

Edit 2: I think I found the culprit. It is the stock network meter that is present on A11 and now missing on A12. There are no ways to disable it but to clean flash. Now no more soft rebooting. Or I could be wrong. To those who dirty flashed and not experiencing soft reboots when wifi or data enabled, didn't you have the stock network meter enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] LevinEvitable:
thx,bro
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] RyQril:
Thanks for the A12 update! i did a clean install.. anyone facing issues installing apps from google store? most of the apps wouldnt install.

EDIT: cleared google store's data. now the problem seems to be gone. but when checking for update is stuck.

EDIT2: The phone seems not accessing Write to storage. cant download anything from magisk.

EDIT3: did the format data and factory reset and rebooted, i advise you if youre going clean install dont restore app data and settings from google on setup.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TrevorAshley:
If you got tweaks pro, do the "factory reset fix"
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No need on A12
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kutsuya:
Why can't I see any of my toggles? I also don't have any service even though I installed the CSC. My phone is from the Netherlands, here is a picture of the issue:

EDIT: I've also reinstalled my modem and bootloader, also applied the essential fix.

I also seem to have mobile data and am able to make calls, but the icon still remains the same and am also still missing the quick toggles.

EDIT2: If I reboot my device and quickly unlock my sim card and phone, I can see the toggles for a few seconds before they turn invisible.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] vibrantliker:
Any one try Viper with A12?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
1.Is phone have dual sim? Some users on official beta also reported issue

2.clean installed? If not, do it
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zidane02:
I just wanted to give a feedback that Secure Folder works now on A12. We can now move items to and from Secure Folder. Thanks doc.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Lol it was not working on my test. May be you have dirty installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zidane02:
Yes doc, I dirty installed A12 over a clean installed A11 after setting up secure folder.

The thing was, I dirty installed A12 previously and had this soft reboot whenever I connect to wifi or mobile data. Maybe because I had the native speed meter enabled on A11. Since it is not present on A12, I cannot manually disable it. So my option is to clean install to remove the native meter.

But the secure folder does not work on clean installed A12. So I thought I can clean install A11 first since secure folder was working fine on A11, it's just the ability of moving to and from it does not work. I really don't mind that issue as I am only using secure folder as substitute to dual messenger.

After setting up the secure folder on clean installed A11, applied essential fix, then I dirty flashed A12 over A11. Now I still have secure folder working, plus the ability to move items back and forth.

Edit: Now we can finally enjoy Secure Folder. Thanks doc.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Exactly that was my thought for working secure folder. A12 have issue creating it. I may look into it after official release if issue persisits, no meaning of wasting time on beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zidane02:
Thanks doc. A fully working secure folder on A12. ❤️
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kutsuya:
Yes, I think I have the dual sim variant. I did do a clean install though. Is there anything I can try?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Reported issue is related to dual sim

No needs to report any issue further until you clean install it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Kutsuya:
I DID clean install it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Read some beta threads, some users with dual sim reported this bug on official beta may be better info you may get there
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
I did a dirty flash, Viper working perfectly
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sezbad:
C

Can you please tell me the uses and advantages of Viper? So I can try too.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] vibrantliker:
So in a nut shell, it revolutionizes audio from a smart phone into audiophile quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Can you suggest some good settings that an audiophile would approve of?

P.S. Do you mean it revolutionizes the audio on headphones or phone speakers?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] vibrantliker:
Do you mean it revolutionizes the audio on headphones or phone speakers? YES
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Ok so yes to both.

How about you be so kind as to post some screenshots of your settings?

There are too many settings and for a layman, they are rather confusing.

Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sezbad:
Great! Pls mention the version of Viper or a link to the app thread on xda.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Burt Squirtz:
It has absolutely nothing to do with dual sim. It's a permanent bug on the newest beta 4. I did a clean install and I have one sim card, and mine does same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] vibrantliker:
it's in magisk . Type viper and it will come up.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] founchki:
Works fine on mine, single sim exy version

Did you install any csc?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
There might be some trigger, I never has this issue. I have read somewhere one user have removed second sim and it was fixed, I don't have this bug so can't do more.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sezbad:
I keep getting 'warning - camera failed' and then the camera app closes.

No problem using the Camera Zoom FX premium app to take pics, but I miss the native app and it's features and UI.

Safe mode allows the cam to work just fine but normal boot doesn't.

On A12_B2 with Magisk installed and SafetyNet passing.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Have you tried to force stop, clear cache etc and see what happens?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sezbad:
Tried your suggestion and no luck. Problem still persists.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Follow the installation guide, you might have skipped something
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sezbad:
I'll just wait for your next release. Hopefully that will shake loose whatever this is.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It won't get fix if you repeat same mistake. It seems You have skipped AP file in bootloader part
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sezbad:
I'll just wait for your next release. Hopefully that will shake loose whatever this is.

Narrowed down the issue to 'Pixel (Sailfish) Prop' Magisk module. Just don't know why it is breaking the Camera app. Disabling the addon allows the camera to work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Why do you even gave that module installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No odea but these prop modules are most notorious and people love it a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Srbija2012:
Yep, and they always seem to be the ones that cause the issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Wad12355:
Sorry guys, Samsung Health keeps crashing when started (Samsung store or GP), tried to clear the cash no luck... just keeps crashing I couldn't even set up it. Tried to delete Sam account still the same. A12 SB2, everything else works well. Starting Sam Health... in a few seconds it freezes and phone reboots itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] founchki:
Happens to me as well, it's ever since they updated the app recently, not sure if it's to do with the custom rom or a12

I've tried hiding it with magisk hide and still crashes/soft reboots
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bmonteiro:
Same issue here, had to downgrade it to 6.18.7.005, you can find it on Apkmirror.
