[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakota123:
Hi all,

New to the forums, wonder if anyone could help?

(Have had a search but not able to find a definitive answer, apologies if I've missed something)

Does anyone know if there is a way (custom rom/sideload etc) to enable DTS (inc DTS-X/HD) as well as other audio formats to be passed-through on the Amazon Fire Stick or Cube?

Reason I'm asking is that I have a surround Samsung soundbar which is capable of decoding pretty much all of the audio sources chucked at it (Atmos, DTS, Lossless versions of these etc) and I'd like a cost effective way to stream videos with these audio types in them.

Conscious that the Fire (stick/cube) out of the box doesn't support DTS. I've looked at the Nvidia Shield and ATV4K but the Fire is quite a bit cheaper.

I plan to use Plex or something similar to host the media.

Many Thanks

i know that similiar questions like this has already been posted over a couple of hundred times in this forum. but, as said, only similiar.

what i desperately need, as i am creating my own skin including taskbar with homescreenplus, is a small and neat tool to be launched from "command line" which closes (not minimzes) the current application.

progs like vjokbutton or "registrysetstring ::3" do not work at all or working buggy on the diamond.

furthermore, i do not know if button remapping tools like hbutton or ae button plus can be launched from command line. but i guess that would be more a sort of overkill for my need.

does anybody know of a small tool which is closing apps from command line reliably on a DIAMOND?

thanks for assistance

Have you tried MortScript?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] egoist6:
yes, thought about it. but would be sort of overkill just to use it for

close()

any other idea?

there are so many command line tools out there for toggling sound, wifi, bt, gprs, etc, etc.

was hoping that one of them would be able to close apps.

thanks

Hey community,

when I used Dark Mode, i get black/grey flickering.

Have someone the same issue ?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ashraftheboss:
I've been having issues with replying to comments, especially when I've quoted someone. It jumps around adding multiple spaces and quotes everything I've typed along with the comment I've quoted. Are you guys experiencing this too?

I've found disabling the Grammarly extension and Predictive Text fixed the issue temporarily.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jamesbond_28_007:
Hi,

Has anyone come accross a cab file/tweak that will strengthen the vibrate. It's not strong enough for me and I keep missing calsl in my pocket. The Onmnia has a grading built in to the software so wondered whether that had been ripped for HTC phones.

Have had a look and cant find anything.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Pietje_1985:
same here....

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Addicteddddd:
This is possible i just odnt know of a cab for it, if you look at teeter for the Kaiser the vibrate is much more powerful, maybe ask them?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adempozhari:
are you sure about it???

how can a cab change the vibra strength???

Oh dear. I was excited when my new Samsung Upgrade Programme S22 Ultra 512GB was delivered this morning in UK.

During the Smart Switch process from my previous S20+ I noticed this green flashing pixel in the centre of the screen. Initially it was when I had the phone charging but now its flashing all time on all screens.

This must be a hardware issue surely? See photos. Could this be software, I think not?

I'm not talking about the little green indicator you seen in the top right hand corner when the camera is open.

'll be sending it back today for a replacement. Anyone else seeing this issue or similar?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] raul6:
that is unfortunate. try changing screen mode to vivid and or display to fhd to see if it disappears. if it does then software issue that should be fixed in future update. if not, return. also report the issue via Samsung members app
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jericho246:
Looks like hardware issue to me. These things happen. Unfortunately, it happened to you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kubas_inko_CZ:
Refund or replacement it is then.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Stuie_m:
Have had all Galaxy models from the S4 to this S22 ultra 1GB. Never had a dead pixel, until now. Too left side of the screen, green like yours. Did you get it replaced?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kirtimaan01:
I've the same but in blue. My fone is just 8days old.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Use ScreenTest, try in safe mode.

Almost certainly a bad display.

The failure/issue rate of the Samsung variable refresh rate displays is higher than the equally large N10+ display. Not good.

Send it back... to drop the ball Sammy🧐
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Stuie_m:
I called Samsung, went through loads of stupid tests then ended up sending it back. They replaced the screen. I suggest you do the same. Took about 5 days.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zark_ss:
I have managed to get the navigation bar to work 100% of the time.

How to do it

1. Root and install Xposed.

2. Change qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in build.plop.

3. Install Custom Navigation bar Pro (xyz.paphonb.systemuituner). (At this time, the design of the navigation bar should be other than the default.)

4. Install Gravitybox(N) and change the color of the navigation bar.

It works perfectly.

Hi

Good info for new samsung usres!

Have you any report anyone have rooted Exynos as well SD with routine magisk patched methos? I have seen another thread how to root but I think no one yet confirmed (unless I have missed)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Macusercom:
Thanks!

I don't think so. We'll have to wait and see if a new Magisk update is needed but since Android 12 works fine on the S21 Ultra, I don't think the S22 Ultra wouldn't work. But as of now, I have not read anything about a successful root but also nothing about not being successful.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Thanks for info. Yes, I don't expect too that it won't work but we never know when samsung give us surprises!

One major thing I have noted on S22 is system partition is now having f2fs format instead of ext4 and as of now we can't extract stock firmware because of this. (I don't know if any available tool can do it)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
Dr. ketan: Does f2fs format affect magisk root?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No, it shouldn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
Glad to hear that.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Macusercom:
I've just checked the AP file of the S22 Ultra firmware. Magisk is able to patch the boot.img and goes straight through.

Not(e) S22 Ultra specific, but good to know (sorry for the pun :D)

Magisk can patch the extracted boot.img without lz4

Magisk can't patch boot.img.lz4

Magisk can patch the AP.tar that included boot.img.lz4 and stores it without compressing in the modified AP.tar

Hasn't f2fs been adopted way earlier with the Note 10? I can't seem to extract the S21 Ultra or S22 Ultra firmware with EXT4 extractor in any case. I can just decompress lz4

View attachment 5543639
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yes, file can be patched with magisk, still we need to confirm if patched file working fine or not as no one yet confirm it (at least in my knowledge)

F2fs adopted earlier was for "data" this is first time for "system" (and also for "vendor")

Since oneui 4.0 recent update I have seen S21 also added support for system f2fs (fstab showing both) but yet still system is ext4 formatted and that's why no issue extracting S21 firmware (just two days ago I released rom with latest base VB1 Feb security patch)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gcrutchr:
Also, Samsung removed the system_ext folder and put it into its own img file. I mounted both system.img/system_ext.img, and copied both into an N20U system folder created by superr kitchen for my N20U. I was able to deodex framework-res.apk ans SystemUI.apk. I made mods to SystemUI, but cannot test as I do not have an S22U.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
What you have used to extract system.img of S22?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gcrutchr:
superr kitchen. will extract .img files but will not extract contents
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
What I mean is how you have extracted SystemUI and Framework-res , as kitchen not able to extract it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gcrutchr:
I used Fedora to mount both .img files.

After copy S22 system.img/system_ext contents into N20U folder, I used superr to deodex system folder. Then copy SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk to my development folder

sudo mount -o loop system_ext.img tmp

sudo mount -o loop system.img tmp2

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
Question: I'm looking to get a newer laptop and was looking at the Surface Pro 7 or 8. I know ODIN won't work on the Surface Pro X, but has anyone used it on a SP7/8? I can't see why it won't work. It uses the same i5 processor and 64-bit OS as a full size/normal laptop.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
Oh I can definitely confirm root works and it works just fine, all done on the exynos version. However I've not been able to recover the widevine L1 once rooted no matter what I tried and I'd also be left with L3 until reflashing back to stock. So do keep in mind currently if you root there's no way of having L1, at least none that I'm aware of and work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Macusercom:
That's interesting. I have root on my S21 Ultra Exynos but still Widevine L1 according to DRM Info :o
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You may have it but you won't able to play HD movie, only low resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alibab:
Is there any official Samsung source where checksum of the binary file of the actual ODIN is published?

If this does not exist, then theoretically any version of Odein could contain malicious code.

For example, it is possible that it installs some kind of spyware every time you use it or open some kind of backdoor for botnets etc....

What did you do in magisk? Also what version? And any modules?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
Magisk 24.1, but my s22u is SD-variant. All my rooted phones are L1, so I never notice such problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
I wonder if that's the reason... I'm running on the exynos, it would be pretty sad if exynos had L3 after root and SD L1... Guess we need more people to post their results on this
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
Yes, indeed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] caioars:
Hello all, sorry for the question, but is there any way to change the CSC without needing root? just flashing some files?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
Since I didn't get an answer to my question:

Wanted to toss out some info, in case anyone questioned. For a few years now, my only laptop was my department-issued laptop. I hate using my work computer for anything personal, so I snagged a Surface Pro 7 (i5 processor). I was 90% sure it would work with Frija and ODIN, since its a full Windows machine, but wasn't 100%. Didn't know if there were any differences in the processors for the tablet that would affect it. I knew the Surface Pro X wouldn't work with its ARM architecture.

I can report 100% ODIN and Frija both work beautifully to download and flash Sammy firmware on the Surface Pro with the Core processors. So if you're in the market for a Windows machine and want to be able to flash firmware, the SP works a treat.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Buddyjohn:
This may sound silly. But I want some clarification as I've been out of the Samsung game going on 6ish years. If I were to flash the modified ap file for Magisk in Odin. Without unlocking the bootloader. Will that still trip Knox? Or is Knox just for bootloader unlocking?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
May be decryption could be reason. Do you have twrp installed?

Flashing multidisabler will decrypt data partition and may be that breaks DRM
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JazonX:
Same here, Just entered the game again.

You cannot flash any modified Image without unlocking the bootloader. While the bootloader is locked,, You can only flash stock firmware direct from ODIN. Whatever modified partition you flash will trigger and trip the knox. Thereafter SamsungPay, SamsungHealth apps will refuse to work.

Interestingly, I just received an OTA notification too. Rooted / SD with Magisk not even hidden.

I got a notification for the March OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Buddyjohn:
OK gotcha. The way the guides I've read have worded it left that unclear in my eyes. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Youcan get notification and even download it, it won't flash though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JazonX:
No worries, Happy to help!

Dr.; How's the day so far with Root on 908E ?

I'm on Day #1. No issues yet so far, No reboots or hang ups either.

I've got a question, All previous Samsung's had R/W on system partition. This time around I see that S22 U has no R/W capability.

Have you seen a way around it ?

I wanted to try this script by @lebigmac

https://xdaforums.com/t/script-andr...-superrw-featuring-makerw-read-write.4247311/

But without TWRP, It's quite uncertain that it will work / or in case if it crashes, There is no way around to recover.

I used this on my ROG Phones to enable R/W in system, and it worked perfectly..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] erik2041999:
Unfortunately I just unlocked the bootloader and rooted, that's literally it...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] |||||:
Nice, would you please write an tutorial in the Developement Section?

Who uses SamsungPay or Samsung Health anyway?

Hopefully we can get all we need on the S22 Ultra soon. TWRP, Root and Custom Mods.

Developers Unite :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] STARFOX_BR:
@Macusercom thank you very much for this great article! I got a S22+ from a official Samsung Store in Panama two days ago and I live in Brazil. I checked and the original CSC was OMX and GTO (2nd). They claimed was a "International Unlocked" version. All works great but I cannot get Samsung Pay on it and I would like to have it.

I flashed stock FWs for the model (SM-S906E) but what I really wanted was ZTO. For my surprise the only improvment I got was to have the eSIM funcionality enabled.

Now it hows yet not ZTO but "OWO_ARO_12" being ARO/ARO,ARO/GTO. Probably the piece that you explained that we cannot get rid of in Android 12 is the last "GTO" piece =, right?

And, drives me nuts to see no ZTO at all, even booting up with Brazilian SIMs, etc. Why the heck I picking ZTO (Brazil) firmwares and after flashing I end up with AROs (Argentina) :-P

Appreciate any advice otherwise I will have to sell this guy. Many thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nishantgupta107:
Hi,

I am new to modding of samsung devices, thought it will be similar to the rest. Since it was mentioned that secure folder can be fixed. Can you point to the thread or post where they have provided the solution.

Thnx
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Macusercom:
I have bought an S21 Ultra and it came with ATL (Vodafone Spain). I have tried every single method that I found on changing the CSC, but none of them work. For EU firmwares OXM is the combined firmware meaning that ATL and many other European CSC codes are included and automatically applied. For me at least everything works fine despite the device being ATL.

Afaik there is no way of changing the CSC code once it's set on Android 12. So unfortunately, I don't think you can change it :(

To be honest: I have not looked into this as I have no need for secure folders. It said so in the linked thread so I guess there is a modded version out there :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Best way to change CSC is

1.Non rooted : Paid tools (plenty of discussion here on XDA)

2.Rooted, Best thing to edit features ithout changing CSC and keep netork setting as it is

Look my ROM module in development section S22Ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] nishantgupta107:
Thanks for the reply. Let me try and post the results.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Super-Veloce:
My plan was to unlock bootloader, root, change CSC from EUX/TNL to EUX/EUX, relock bootloader and flash stock firmware. Hoping to have a unbranded phone (but knox 0x1) and receive OTA's immediately.

If I understand post #1 correct, my plan won't work? Because of modified AP?

Can someone send me PM with possibilities?

(My last Samsung device was a Note 3, so bit new in CSC at the moment)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Macusercom:
EUX already contains multi CSCs for almost all European carriers. If you have a TNL device it should work just fine with every other European carrier. The only thing is app bloat that you need to uninstall or even pm uninstall to get rid of. Also the firmware for those multi CSC firmwares is the same either way (on the S21 Ultra they're the same, on the S22 Ultra there is only EUX).

Knox is tripped when there is an unsigned firmware being flashed onto an unlocked bootloader. For example a Magisk patched AP.

Not sure how a device will behave if there is a signed but not compatible firmware. I can't test that since you can only trip Know once and I'm rooted. But I guess a foreign signed firmware could trip Knox

(Please refer to the answer below.)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No, any different regional but if firmware is signed (Samsung) it won't trip knox. Indeed you don't needs to unlock bootloader and so no tripping of knox.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Macusercom:
Thank you for your insight :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Super-Veloce:
I need to change carrier ID from TNL to EUX.

How to do this? Samkey unlock phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Macusercom:
You could try Phone INFO ★SAM★, but I don't know if changing the CSC still works. Other than that, I think SamKey is the only way, though I have not used it and can't personally recommend it. Also SamKey requires someone to TeamViewer into your own PC. Makes me lucky that I don't need it but I have not found any other recommended solution to changing the CSC code in Android 12 but please if anyone does: let me/us know :)

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Johnnio:
Looking at buying a cheap s22 ultra from a trade in place for £400, hardly used.

So it has been network locked by Samsung according to the shop due to the owner not paying the contract.

Question is, is it possible to overcome this?

I have no problem unbricking phones, done plenty and sold as a profit but will this be Imei blocked? My guess is yes and it's not worth it but hey, it does not hurt to ask.

Price is great but I'd have to be certain else it's a useless paperweight.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JazonX:
What's the working method to Mock location without getting detected now ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Macusercom:
Depends on the device. Afaik on S22 devices the EU CSC code always is EUX. For S21 and lower it probably is BTE contained within the OXM multi-CSC firmware. The CSC stuff got a lot easier on the S22 series since it now uses one firmware/CSC instead of splitting the release into different regions
