[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alibab:
dr.keaton you are my android guru! :)

Will you get your S22 next week?

What will you do with it? Will you root your device as soon as you have it?

On previous Note devices, I always waited for your first custom rom before I rooted my devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alibab:
I just love the sexy hardware of this phone.

I have nausea from the original software-stack of this device.

I would never use it with factory software in everyday life.

If it would be possible I would wipe everything from it and would install some GNU/Linux distro on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alibab:
It’s pretty annoying that you have to play such a cat & mouse game after you paid the hefty price of this device.

It is annoying how much Samsung, Google et al. are trying to restrict users freedom.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DoKaTSuYa:
The kind of topic that makes me want to leave Android and go iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alibab:
I can't see any reason why iphone/apple ecosystem would be better than Android.

I wish the Linux phone ecosystem was more mature.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Doesn't make much sense to buy this phone than if the native UI pukes you out.

The hardware is lacking; no SD card slot. A poorer form factor/layout than the N10+ as well and 1 mm thicker. No APTX HD and no 3.5 mm jack. Meh.

The most outrageous insult comes from Google Android itself; scoped storage is fully active. Nullifying some of the speed and efficiency; the old Intel/MS paradox reincarnates itself once again. With scoped storage come a slew of 3rd party app issues not create by Samsung at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] s3axel:
Hmm, honestly speaking nobody is forcing anybody to unlock and root his device ;)

From an IT security standpoint there is a reason for preventing modifications to a phone used by many for things like paying, storing sensitive data, having access to restricted data via specific apps, to corporate email accounts for BYOD etc etc

I am among the first to embrace tweaking options but in the end it all depends on what I use root access for: easy backup/restore of apps including user data, adblocking, UI +system tweaking, limiting of (for me) unnecessary system processes to optimize battery - all of this could easily be integrated by the manufacturers ....

In the end the good thing about Android is that you have a choice and maybe for rooting/tweaking Samsung isn't the best due to Knox and it's irreversibility....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Hopefully I am getting in couple of days.

First I will setup device and look if any hardware issue. If everything fine, will root same day.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alibab:
What tests do you use to check hardware issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
*#0*#
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alibab:
You are right but in spite of all this, I still find it sexy.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alibab:
Nobody is forcing anybody to be free yet most people want to be free. Would you like your device to control you, or would you rather control your device?

The device (or the application or the service) could send a warning that the system has been modified. The user could decide whether or not he takes this risk. In my opinion use of applications and services should not be restricted if someone wants to take this risk.

This KNOX thing is awful. It is annoying that I pay the price of the device and then I lose the warranty because I remove bloatware and tweak the software according my needs. All this is not enough additionally they restrict the use of services and applications. This is disgusting.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Alibab:
So If your phone passes all these tests, will you root immediately?

I went through these tests on my device but didn’t notice any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] s3axel:
I fully agree with your points and so far I have rooted every device I owned ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
If I remember correctly I usually root device within just couple of hrs after buying since Note1 to Note 20 (every single note I have bought) and S21, only once needed to wait for a day or two as root method wasn't working
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mailistman:
dr. ketan, asking for your personal opinion : is SD version better for customization than exynos one ?

btw, for this particular device do you know what LTE & 5G bands it's supported ?

thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AsAnine63:
I FEEL YOU! It's hard trying to go not rooted! You have to put up with apks you know you've no use for. Being at the mercy of the operating system that petty much own you, instead of you owning it. Much more harder blocking the ads and locking out all the "ET Call Home!" applications. It'll take some getting use to. until someone comes out with an easier way to root safely... the way software is getting pretty tricky.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
To be honest, Hard bricking Samsung device is realy very very hard. If you follow dev's guide to the letter on XDA, it's 100% safe.

From the looks of it, That's a Galaxy S10 (beyond Code word) .

I just refreshed my S21 Ultra and that's also R/W on 12 / OneUI 4 after just Magisk patch.

No other steps required.

S22 Has something different.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JazonX:

Just curious.

I'm lost between having to use adaway instead directly patching the host file, and having to use a Huawei Watch because the Gear Watch 3 doesnt connect without the BT lib patch.

Dissect the latest Magisk apk - somehow that works on the S22 (I have other devices with Android 12, also from SAMSUNG) as I conclude from this thread.

Your knowledge could help many of us!

Please share with us how to mount RW this new type of filesystem if you can.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
To new members around here regarding mounting system issue discussion.

First of all you should understand this issue is not A12 but it is new format introduce on S22

There were and are option to mount rw system and other components on A12 on other samsung (devices before S22) device without issue. Here we are talking about just S22 issue, so all previously working command we are knowing about older devices are useless

If you understand completely this issue and have something to sugget you are welcome

And last important things for all new members : Don't try out every script or advise being given by people who don't have idea about even mointing point but found on bla bla, This is risky, When super.img introduced and I was doing some experiment to mount system from TWRP, I did found the way to mount system from recovery but I had to spare my device and unfortunately couldn't revive. So kindly keep patience and wait for fix. Have a nice day!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JazonX:
I would highly recommend the same as it is for the best of the rest of us who are clueless.

Thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] |||||:
What is the new Format called? Or do you know already some recources for it to look into.

If yes, please share it here, so the other developers here also look into it.. maybe they can also find something.

Thanks for your work - you are great :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AmulyaX:
Hi there!

Is this still an issue? I have been trying to get around the mounting part, even a custom kernel would not help, seems like Samsung has completely removed the ability to mount in recovery due to the new FS.

Although it does say /system mounted but I don't think it is accessible in anywhere.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Jabba1701:
Hi guys. I am in the process of doing research into making my own ROM. I would like to know if you have any requests or ideas for me to base my ROM on. I want to know if there are some features, apps or configuration that you would like to see that other ROMs may not have.

Anyway let me know here and i will try to include the most popular options.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] jamses:
I got one...

I L-O-V-E the Khanx Touch Navia.

HOWEVER, the only thing missing, in my opinion, is a calender tab that I can see my upcoming appointments. In the original M2D you can only see 1 app ahead.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] deechte:
I would like to see a ROM without M2D, but with Throttle Launcher. Not everybody likes Manilla.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] t1m:
Since the time I got my orbit I'm missing very simple ROM and I requested it many people:

I need just serial ROM with all the unnecessary stuff removed, such as microsoft bug report, touch cube etc, with optimization tweaks and without side software at all. I'd say lite version of the serial 6.1 ROM =)

All of us got their must-have software so just let people choose what they need.

All the ROMs existing now are a kinda clones, its have very similar functionality... The mistake of the most of rom-makers is that they are trying to provide all possible features together with their ROMs. They insert there manilla, opera, config tools and many more, and I guess it takes them a lot of time to have all this things work together. Then after some time this "extra" tools getting updated and you have to develop updated ROM and catch new bugs...

Actually, the closest software to my wishes was Bepe's software, but it's not updating anymore...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Jabba1701:
I am going to look into two versions.

Naked build

lightweight and simple.

only the essential apps (to be decided)

basic config/customisation tools

Skeleton build

bare bones

no extra apps

basic config/customisation tools.

I had a quick look for this, but couldn't find what you mean. can you please send me a link.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] devdarshan:
I agree....I tried all the new ROM's and finally went back to pre 6.1 more memory, faster speed, reliable phone and most important - Clean customised installs and screens.

I wish I could get something similar to Khanx Lite and Panosha's butterfly ! I have no interest in Manila, 3d or whatever - just a naked build and my own apps - whatever needed- installed have over 50MB to play with and nearly 2+ days battery life -what more could i ask for?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Jabba1701:
i will check them out. sounds like a good place to start :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] amarguli:
Ideal ROM for me:

1. Fast and stable build (probably official HTC build is better than some leaked build)

2. Minimum software - no cube, no customer feebback, no opera, no manila, no windows live and live messenger etc.

3. Performance tweaks included

4. Video call support (I mention this since recently many chefs drop this functionality from their ROMs)

5. Maximum free RAM
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] lucianok:
How about a kind of tracker app?

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] deechte:
How's the cooking going Jabba1701?

That won't help you at all Luciano. The program works by sending the location to another phone by sms. That phone number has to be cooked in the ROM, else it would be gone upon hard reset. So this kind of applications only works when you cook your own personal ROM.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ianl8888:
Jabba1701

I agree with the "Skeleton build".

This is a numbers game - quite a few posts have wished for such a skeleton ROM, but many more seem to like all the doo-dads and frippery being cooked into the ROM's on offer. Since most chefs quite rightly wish for donations, they choose the doo-dad route.

The basic reasons I dislike the doo-dads is that I have no use for most of them (I use the device as a mini-computer as much as a phone), they consume flash memory and RAM and you cannot update them without flashing a new ROM.

M'Amine's kitchen and one of his new ROM's is the place to start, I suggest. He has not protected his ROM's so we can completely dis-assemble them, remove the doo-dads and re-cook.

I'm slowly wending my way through this process now. The basic difficulty is figuring out all of the folders, files and Registry references associated with those doo-dads I want to remove.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Jabba1701:
working on this ROM has been pushed back in the queue a fair bit. We are currently getting our house up for sale so we can move for our kids school next year and my wife's new job. There are a few things i'd like to look at to make testing the ROMs a bit easier and quicker (ie an emulator or similar) but i really haven't had the time to even google it.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cruiserrr:
Hi, I agree with all previous comments. In my case I like to build my own UI with WAD so I do not like m2d/manila/htc roms. They look all the same to me and I still end using additional software for photos, music and even contacts

I am very happy with the rom I am using: swtos light rom (see my signature).

The only problem is swtos is not anymore with a touch so I do not expect any updates to new builds. I would say I have a 0 bugs rom, with 160 mb for programs and circa 50 mb free ram. I do not plan to go back to wm 6.1 official or to try other roms if I do not have relevant new features over this one in terms of performance.

Since swtos is not cooking polaris anymore he may be willing to share the kitchen. You can see in the thread that people is happy with this rom and missing swtos new work.

I have a couple of suggestions:

- naked roms are so naked that are only good for very advanced users. light roms most of the times already include config tools, ui and basic programs. I think a really naked but pre-configured rom would be great.

- I would suggest to explore radio compatibility. It seems to be a nightmare quite often and many people do not want to flash the phone many times.

- I suggest to concentrate on performance, scrolling and Ram recovery and exploit current hardware as it is rather than bringing it to the limit (eg. 3d drivers)

Bepes rom I think is much older than swtos so even if it is well known for its stability, I would not use it as the starting point.

Good luck !

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Jabba1701:
sorry mate, not sure how i missed your post when giving an update. :o

I am the same as you with how i use my phone, it is more like an organiser and computer that just happens to have a phone in it. I use mine for Geocaching, tomtom, email, twitter, photos, brain training games..... and i occasionally get a phone call or SMS or two.

Do-dads are great fun to try out, but the novelty wears out over time, and they just suck up resources and slow other apps down and hurt stability.

At the moment i am trying out the more popular lite ROMS to see what they do and how they perform so i can get a feel of to expect from mine.

I am using ROM: PixelExperience_Plus_instantnoodle-11.0-20210717-1726-OFFICIAL.zip

I am rooted via Magisk.

I have TWRP recovery.

I have enabled Zygisk and configured/enabled the DenyList.

I have install the Universal SafetyNet Fix and MagiskHide Props Conf modules.

I have used MagiskHide Props Conf to force BASIC key attestation.

I have used MagiskHide Props Conf to change the device fingerprint, trying a few different certified ones included in the module. None of them seemed to make any difference to I reset it to the default.

At this point, when running a SafetyNet test, I pass the basic integrity test but fail the CTS profile match with a BASIC evaluation.
