[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RootN00bie:
Hello, I have been looking for a way to root my device without flashing (deleting data on my phone) because I have a lot of data that can not be retrieved through a backup such as chat data that is saved on an app's server or only gives you access to back it up within the app. I cannot open my apps right now due to a malicious APK. My apps constantly crash until I reinstall them from the app store, but upon reinstalling them I lose all my data since I deleted the app without backing up first, I still have all the apps that I want to back up, but as stated they cannot be opened. The Google Play store, Samsung, and app developers cannot do anything to help, I've already been in contact with them numerous times. I want to root my phone so that I can create a Google Drive backup of the information in the apps or be able to copy the data to paste it over a newly reinstalled app. I know something like this exists for KIK.

I have heard that towelroot and framaroot don't delete data on my device when used to root, but I wanted to come here to know for sure. So if anyone can point me in the right direction or even walk me through it I would seriously appreciate it because this has frustrated me for a month now and I want to root it so bad.

Here's my device info;

-Model: S8 SM-G950U

-One ui version: 1.0

-Android 9.0

-Baseband version: G950USQU8DUA2

-Android security patch level: December 1, 2020

-Carrier: Sprint

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Apps like this often install adware on your phone afterwards, so make sure to reflash ROM afterwards.

You don`t need root to copy non-system-related files. So make a backup of folder of your apps and after you will reflash ROM, install these apps and swap data.

Also, I don`t know any app that wouldn`t restore your messages after you reinstall it. Can you name me your messenger so I can try it myself to be sure?

Another option is to install antivirus.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RootN00bie:
I created a backup with Smart Switch, but I am not that confident in that backup. From what I've seen it backs up most of the data, but I don't know how chat data from messaging apps are handled with backups. Is there a more precise backup that copies over all data exactly as it was on my phone in this current state with all accounts logged into as I am now?

The apps I am concerned for their data are LINE, HelloTalk, KIK, and songs I saved with Shazam since I never linked an account to it. WhatsApp used to be on this list, but a friend told me that WhatsApp locally saves its data to the device's storage so I was able to backup the data just by reinstalling WhatsApp and restoring from internal storage.

It was directly stated that LINE data would not be backed up through Samsung Switch. If you could make an account on these apps, send some messages, and do a backup and restore to see if the messages transfer I would be grateful. I also have no idea if Shazam songs that were found without an account can be transferred as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] 0purple:
I am sorry, I don't have a Samsung device. What you can do is go to your file manager and copy all folders you see to external storage. Then, after reflashing ROM, get data of wanted messaging apps back by pasting it to internal storage.

What about antivirus?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] dethlord91:
Hello, I am new to this forum. I was directed here by a few friends, in hope to get my phone fixed. I have an unlocked note 10+ (SM-N975U) that has not received any updates since October 2019. I have contacted both Samsung and my phone carrier, Verizon, with no luck. Samsung told me to talk to my carrier and Verizon tried everything they could, including a new sim card. I Factory reset my phone and tried using my fiancés sim card (T-Mobile) in hope for updates and nothing appeared. Is there a way i can force/manually apply the latest updates to my device? Not having updates this long has me concerned.

OK then, the original ROM release thread is getting a bit repetitive so if everyone replies here with their known bugs/problems to the "R0" release we'll be able to have a list of all the known bugs and have a clearer view of what is an actual bug and what's something more user/device related.

On the whole this ROM is amazing, this list is not to "knock" udK, but to centralise any problems, I'm am so so happy with this ROM, amazing work, udK - I want your babies :D

I'll update the first page each time when we have a confirmed problem that all (or most) people are experiencing.

(This is not a list of problems that some people are having - it's a list of problems that everyone is having!)

BUGS

01: QuickGPS (doesn't complete download/update)

02: PDM (doesn't start download/update)

03: Camera Album (functions not working correctly - i.e, stuck on zoom, no finger 'swiping' functions) press action (centre) button for some options

04: GPS Photo (non available by default) Fix 04

05: Camera Focus (non functional - missing)

06: Video Calling (missing)

07: Video Playback (not able to play videos from within Camera Album)

08: END key (only locks device - even if one of the other options in quick list is selected)

09: Messenger/Hotmail/Live (all related setups)

10: Opera (opens with two tabs from the touchflo menu) Fix 10

11: TouchFLO Music (stops working when entering sleep mode) volume is adjustable by using your device volume and selecting SYSTEM rather than the default RING

12: TouchFLO Weather (custom cities not updating) Fix 12

13: Wi-Fi (option not available during activesync/WMDC)

14: 3G/2G (no option to switch modes) Fix 14

15: SMS/Map Search/Embedded URL Links (following links causes error - The file [http url] cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or ....) Fix 15

16: Button 4 (can't be assigned to anything because its missings from the button settings) Fix 16

17: Front Camera (not available)

18: Sim Manager (freezes/loops whilst saving entry then displays an "Undetermined error") - may not affect everyone?

19: RSS Hub (produces weird graphics)

20: Headphones Icon (still stays on after unplugging headphones) - may not affect everyone? reboot may be required

21: TouchFLO Weather (depending on added cities configuration displays incorrect 4-day forecasts - displays previous 2 days)

FIXES

04: ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P10] "Enable"=dword:00000001)

10: ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetW idget\Customised] "BannerURL"="")

12: (Patched/Fixed File)

14: (Can be added to 'Communications' with the aid of Advanced Configuration Tool v3.2)

15: ([HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\Shell\Open\Command] and [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\Shell\Open\Command]) - remove the " after OperaL.exe

16: ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C6] "name"="Button 4")

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] firiel:
I confirm the second (about audio manager)

The first issue doesn't occur to me.

Also to add

-Opera opens 2 tabs when u run it from the manilla menu

-Button 4 can't be assigned to everything cause its missings from button settings.

-messenger

-scrolling with touchflo on programs (all programs as it is found on the manilla menu) Only if opened from Mannila If u launch it from start menu finger scrolling works

-camera focus is missing

-video calling is missing

-when viewing a photo I cant exit
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] vorazhmadla:
Sorry for english :(

1. Autofocus does not work.

2. Audiomanager stops work in sleep mode (S2P works perfect in sleep mode on R0)

3. Can not play movie in Photos and Videos tab.

4. Gestures in photos preview does not work at all.

5. Quick GPS stucks at 82% (probably because of new radio. Looks like HTC changes technology of satelite data update. Some where here was that it is only because of bad signature of update.)

6. Wifi problem (cannot turn on/off while using active sync)

7. Can not switch to 3G/2G band in usual way.

Looking forward to hear about r1 :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] quincy67:

how many threads do we need for 1 ROM to report bugs! C'mon people use the original R0 thread to report your issues. It gets real crazy for a cook to have to go to multiple threads to see issues.

Hopefully a Mod will remove this thread....
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] firiel:
I think its a good idea for this thread to be created, IF the first post is updated regularly so the GREAT Cooker UDK, can just watch 1 post despite 44 pages.

Also people please confirm the issues mentioned so that they can be confirmed as bugs. ForumUser please add only confirmed, by +3 people, issues to first post
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bkeaver:
you do have a valid point, but let me ask you this. I am sure you see so many new posts being created that it pushes other posts to other pages. In that scenario it might make it hard to keep track or rather easy to lose threads... if its all in one place this isnt as likely to happen..

just food for thought....
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] firiel:
where posts u mean threads. right ? Right

And u have a point and lets hope that doesn't happen :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] naish84:

Theres about 40 pages in the R0 thread all repeating the same bugs :p, threads like these are a good idea if used properly and the first post updated

Not yet mentioned in this thread, the END key will only lock device, even if quick list or one of the other options is selected.

also not mentioned that Audio Manager keeps searching and searching and searching,

which might be btw. the issue that it lags sometimes for 2-3 seconds

Thank you all for your input so far. We got quite a list. I have some spare time, so I put them together in the second post. I hope .ForumUser doesn't mind, perhaps he can help with the first post to keep it updated and to have enough space for the possibility of even a longer 'wishlist' ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kevinmayer86:
so far things that i've noticed that have been mentioned are:

1 - of course, quickgps

2 - camera problems (auto focus, etc)

3 - Windows live needs to be re-installed to work (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334621)

4 - Touchpal can't be installed

5 - opera opens with two tabs from the touchflo menu

6 - videos don't play in the touchflo menu

7 - camera album doesn't have the normal finger swiping functions working properly

8 - wifi won't turn on/off when connected through activesync

9 - iGO8 isn't working (have to disable manila to get it to work)

10 - audio manager has no way to increase or decrease volume

11 - there is no program icon or easy access for normal functions such as rotate screen or adjust backlight.

12 - video calls do not work

13- PDM not working

14 - no gps photo (registry edit HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10","Enable",1)

These are just some minor bugs that i've experienced or seen people write about. Personally i'm loving this ROM and most of these bugs aren't really bothering me. I think UDK is the man!!!

Once again, if you guys already see some bugs posted on this thread, DON'T REPOST IT! if not we'll have the same problem of 20+ people reporting THE SAME BUGS!

Downloading another version (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334621)

Installing the version you downloaded

Insert your settings and run Live messenger

Remove the version you just installed cause you now had 2 live messenger Programs

The other one will now work aswel

Do you mean it wont scroll at all (no scroll bar at the side), or do you mean 'finger' scrolling?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] adderz91:
Well when i click "all programs" i can see a total of 12 programs. But this obviously is not all programs. Im not able to finger scroll.

I dont know about the scroll bar on the side. I deleted that. It look soooo much better without the scroll bar, finger scrolling is the way!

I just realize my GPS with iGo or with google map is unavalaible. Soft don't see it in automatique or manually mode.

Port 4. Is this new radio rom second effect ?

IS the 1.64. radio work with this rom or just the 1.59.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] .ForumUser:
I'm not sure that is a bug, I could be wrong, but when you open the list of programs normally you get the new 4 column programs list, when opened via the TouchFLO 'all programs' it's the old style '3 column' list, not sure that is supposed to finger scroll.

Maybe it would be better for the TouchFLO to open programs in the new '4 column' mode? We shall wait and hope.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] adderz91:
OK i just re-enabled the scroll bars. Everything is fine in both "all programs" and "programs" the ONLY thing wrong is that you cant finger scroll when you press "all programs".

I dont know wether it just wasnt implemented or its a bug or what... But you cant finger scroll.

In response to the 'weather forecast' bug, I removed my 2nd city and 1st main city then re-added my first city only and updated. The 4-day forecast is now correct.

that works for me too. removed two cities and then added them again, seems to work. but i'm afraid that is not the final solution... i did that before and it looked good, then a few days later the forecast was incorrect again.
