Noted, I only do the apps and home screen layout, never settings but will try using swift backup if the issues persist!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Stock rooted was stable, activated Google Fi service eveything works in US with model s908b with google fi, ony thing ive noticed is 5g came on for a second and stays mostly on 4g, This might be coverage in my area even though their map says full 5g coverage not sure, but working well so far,

and the google app issues seem to be gone now as well. I still restored apps (no settings) from google cloud and got the "optimizing apps" to appear on a few reboots, no chrome force closing, maps works, and account syncing seems all good. Flashed S09 , applied essential fix, tested safteynet and actually passed without needing to apply patch, and google services, syncing and apps all working ok this time.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Only issue so far is 3minitclock settings aren't saving or loading. Can't find a folder in root browser to place settings. I had this issue before but can't remember what I did to resolve it.

I know for the batterysetttings i changed storage location and that fixed things. But for the clock settings I really can't remember what I did to load my setting file.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Timtown:
Apps>GPS>3-dot>Unintstall...

I also resolved my 3Minit battery issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Timtown:
Try this: System (root)>app>3MinitBatterySettings. The apk might be residing there.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
I can find the apk just fine, also its the clock I'm having troubles with now, battery is working fine. the problem is the 3minitclock is unable to create the save/load folder or .mcl setting file. Usually in storage like emulated/0/ or sdcard. But everytime I try to save the basic clock setting, or any setting, no folders or files appear. I sat for a long time using the search on the whole system as well. I have no where to import my saved .mcl file. Something I think is wrong with it's read/write permission, even though root browser is saying it has the right permissions. I was too tired from 2 days of no sleep to remember what I did to make it work on s08 lol

I kinda remember now doing some advanced adb commands trying to change read/write permissions and some how got it working but can't replicate it. I did notice examining the mainifest file for 3minitclock that its Read and Write permissions are set to: WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. However, after researching how apps read the filesystem the common term in the manifest I see is MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE . Maybe the app needs this added to the manifest in order to save and load files correctly? Just an educated guess I have no experience compiling apps.

@dr.ketan - Any trouble with the Galaxy Watch 4 after the update to AVF9 ?

My wearable app got updated, and then Watch 4 Manager kept crashing. Cleared the data and now stuck on pairing like how it was used to be on Gear Watch 3, and Same time the WiFi networks got forgotten as well. Something doesnt seem right.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Not using S22 as primary device so no watch connected to S22. Wait for someone else to report
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Aren't we on S09 and not S08?

Edit: Now it says S09 got worried there. lol

Also all is working well except 3minitclock still can't get it to save or load any files for settings tried everything I could think of. Something is off with it's ability to write to storage. Otherwise 3minitbattery works if you change from "storage/emulated/0" to "storage/emulated/0/Download". Unfortunately, 3minitclock does not have an option to change it's storage location.

I somehow made the clock settings work on S08 but still can't replicate what I did to make it work which is very frustrating.

also, tweakspro 4.1.06 keeps saying there's an update but it leads to the same exact version that I already have.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
3minit clock save setting issue is app issue (It's too old app) and not ROM, It will be same on newer OS on N20/S21 too. App needs to update for default location. Newer android doesn't allow to access all location without special permission. which app is lacking. You needs to apply changes manually everytime you want to setup clock, Backup/Rstore won't work. (May be try backup with third party tool and see if that works)

TweaksPro update error is fixed now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Thank you for error fix doc! I know the special permission line in the .xml manifest that maybe missing for it to work "MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" i was reading in the recent roms that this is sometimes needed to work properly. When browsing the manifest it only contained 2 permission lines that related to storage "READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" and "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" but the MANAGE permission wasn't listed. I could possibly decompile edit the .xml and recompile the apk using java or python and slap a signature on it. then replace the current system apk with root browser.

It'll be a fun mini-project before bed tonight. I have a feeling it'll be a failed attempt but worth a try! I recently recompiled apks for my galaxy watch 4 and they worked but idk how similar the process will be for phone.

Update:

well decompiling was easy but I'm no good at editing .xml files I used an editor online but when downloaded all my info was blank. Ill stick to just manually setting up my clock not the end of the world I guess lol

Thanks for all your hard work on the rom Doc, everything smooth as silk.

Also, If anyone could help assist me I'm trying to create a Magisk module that could over-write system touch sounds/charging sounds/ lock and unlock. I was reading that we can change system files like these if we use magisk to do it. I really miss my metal gear solid theme sounds like I have on my Note 5. If anyone has idea's please let me know!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Timtown:
The last two updates have been an interesting process. Confident I have finally absorbed the new procedure(s) for ROM update. Gotta get donations off to the Frija (what a slick tool) and the TWRP dev(s). Having SD TWRP is so fantastic.

TWRP is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing for the savvy. A reliable fallback for the novice. A savior for the the uninitiated. TWRP saved he planet and countless numbers of dimwitted rookie flashers. Anyhoo...

S09 seems to really be a big improvement over the June patch. MUCH better battery life and the UI is much more silky and snappy.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
Where is S09 apk file?

Subfolder S09 doesn't contain "ROM Installer XDA S22 S09.apk" while in S08 subfolder there is "ROM Installer XDA S22 S08.apk"
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It is under testing (Changelog post Status will be Online when public)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
Yes, sorry, my fault. I didn't notice "STATUS: Testing"
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] szunyi77:
Hello. Someone help me.

After I install the rom, chrome, playstore, etc. freeze. factory app. I will do anything. Multiple clean installation, ROOT ok, safty net ok, Fix ok. I don't understand the problem. I deleted the data of the applications, other. What can be done?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Cesareeee:
Hallo

Download app ROM Installar XDA S22 S*.apk and and Install as regular apk (* = ROM verion)

Where can I download it for Rom s09
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
I have asked the same question few posts above and got the answer from Dr.Ketan.

Can you read it before asking the same?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Sounds like the same google app issues I was facing earlier. The only way I came across fixing it is try to leave ketan's rom setup and installed. Reboot to recovery, Make a backup, then first try Wiping Cache's + Metadata only, reboot and try to get the "Optimizing Apps" notification to appear. If wiping the caches and metadata doesn't work, then try restoring your backup, wiping caches and reboot, it should trigger the "Optimizing apps" screen. When this happens all your google services like syncing , chrome, maps etc should all start working again. This is the only knowledge on this problem that I have so far.

I notice the issue isnt related to the rom these google apps can stop working just after rooting before flashing rom tool. Same thing applies here just try to get the "optimizing apps" reboot to trigger b4 flashing rom this will also save hassles.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Timtown:
This is discussed just a few posts up thread. Uninstall updates for Play Store and Google Play Services.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Timtown:
Next time you want to flash, perform a triple wipe- Factory, then Advanced and, then Format. Clean it down to the circuit. Be sure you have viable TWRP/Swift/TBU back-ups off line. After flash, decline restore from Google. Install ROM>Finalize Magisk install (always set root requests to "Grant", trust me) and apply Essential Fix. Reboot. Install Tweaks and Activate Pro.

I realize this sounds like a great deal of extra effort for not much perceived advance. But, the "3X" wipe has always solved any issues I've had with ROMs since TWRP's introduction. Has always provided me with a very clean "canvass" upon which to customize my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
ah yes the triple wiping! Good call! I always initially setup this way. Just so painful to have to do later on haha but yes this will definitely help make sure things are clean. however, I did do setup this way and still hadn't got "optimizing apps" on reboots during setup and ran into this issue. Something about that screen is very critical and I have no idea what makes it trigger 😕

I don't know if that would fix your issue as I'm before flashing dr.ketan ROM waiting for S09 update and that will be my first time with this ROM and I hope I will not face that issue like you did.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Really I never face this issue and still I doubt is restoration of something in system causing issue.

What I suggest is Go to Samsung and Google account backup and all previous backup available thereexcept contacts.

Make backup of third party app with SwiftBackup r similar

Clean Install firmware (You can simply factory reset/Format data if already on latest firmware) - Don't setup anything/Don't Login any account and Install ROM Module - Apply Essential Fix - after this you can login and don't restore anything from google/Samsung account and setup ypur device. It should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
S09 is Online now!

Must read change log here.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] szunyi77:
Hello. Now, as I updated the rom with tweak pro, the simple tweak app disappeared after that. Where can I find the tweak app? In Tweak Pro, for example, I can't find the option to disable the startup warning anywhere. There is no mini clock or other settings now. There is no Essential fix either. What did I do wrong? I just updated the rom to tweak pro. The rom works perfectly now, I love it!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Use same link you have received on email to download TweakPro

If your device is exynos, you can find startup warning removal on XDA ROM download area
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] szunyi77:
Thanks. Maybe he misunderstood. The tweak pro is there, the simple tweak app is not. Or is S22U not needed? Sorry for the ignorance. Although I used this ROM before only S21U. Both apps were present there at the same time. So now the mini battery, etc. has disappeared. There is only the tweak pro app. It works normally and perfectly, no problem with that. I hope you understand what I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
simple tweak app? that's not an app. Do you mean Rom Tool?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] szunyi77:
Ahh, yes. Rom tool.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
If rom tool is missing I would be concerned. :eek: Rom Tool is a Key app even for non-pro users. You may want to do a triple wipe as mentioned above, make sure on latest bootloader and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] SkilletDesire:
N/A
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
just do the most recent firmware frija offers. Example for me I'm on AVF5 and everything works fine.

also the /vender mounting error is not normal :\

Not sure which model you are using either if its s908U this rom may not be compatible? Supported models listed in thread title.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] szunyi77:
I have model S908B/DS

the vendor error didn't happen to me either :(

I already deleted everything yesterday, format data -yes, wipe all, etc...

What else should I do? It worked fine until now.. Today I updated the rom and the Rom Too app disappeared

Full wipe , format reagain?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Unfortunately that's the best solution to try. Is do a good clean wipe. then flash rom and make sure tool appears.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Thats ROM Tool, missing rom tool means module not installed or may be auto disabled because of incompatible firmware. Check magisk - modules
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Ok I have finally found a way to fix saving/restoring 3minit clock layout. Unfortunately I can not with ROM and needs to modify app itself, I am not owner of this app so I can't publish it. I have asked the author for permission to share, If he allows then I will share it to public.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
That's wonderful news! I was thinking we would probably need permission from creator to do something like that. Hope he gives it the ok :) thanks Doc!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Well im back to the google app problem and chrome force closing, did triple wipe everything was good, setup magisk, still good, applied essential fix. Now not good. I really am sick of trying to figure out what keeps causing this. I didn't restore any data or anything this time and it's still happening.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Try capturing log, specifically with force close.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
First time having to capture a log file. Im back to stock now going to try to re-install the rom and apply essential fix. What is the best way to capture the log for the process? or the log for chrome?

after rebooting for essential fix before I got a pop up saying "google play services keeps stopping" i got google apps to work, maps, playstore, but not chrome.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] szunyi77:
Hello. I finally made it. Everything works properly. It's a little different to install than the S21U, but I love this rom! The best ruin! Thank you very much
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Rewiped setup device, restored nothing, flashed, essential fix, and tweaks pro activated and Well, now it just works. (shake my head) so now I can't get a log. but I'm sure this will happen again next update :) stay tuned folks lol

Also to note TWRP won't allow you to make a backup if you are using custom fonts and have the file '/data/fonts/files/~~dx9H-qUzyvboQaNJxilszg==/NotoColorEmoji.ttf'

the folder name might be different but this font file causes error createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
Around 60% of all my 135 applications restored from Swift Backup just crashing.

Then when data is cleared (and therefore configuration is lost) still around 50% of them are not launching so I need to uninstall them and install from Google Store.

Very annoying. But finally I will manage that,

The biggest problem is that every time when I reboot phone I need again to provide password for my WiFi because it is lost. Is it a known issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Nope, something wrong on device (likely related to data) make sure you have formatted data that needs to type "yes" to confirm wipe (not factory reset) after flashing twrp and running multidisabler

I am using swift backup since early release and 100% apps restoration works as expected. Nor having wifi pw issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
Indeed, format data within TWRP ended in "strange" way (success as overal result but with mounting errors) - please take a look here where I have reported that already:

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-galaxy-s22-ultra-exynos.4453231/post-87129381

Do you suggest to try format data again within TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Have you ran "multidisabler" command from terminal?

I recommend to do it again and then reboot to recovery again and format data (that needs yes to confirm) and then reboot to system

Never ever backup restore any system stuff (app/data whatever) form any tool
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
Yes, I ran multidisabler. It went OK, no issues, just after few minutes it ended with "all done"

OK, I'm going to repeat format data (action with with confirmation "yes" as I did already)

Of course I'm not restoring any system or data or applications from my google account's backup.

Did twice format data, at the end of first run it ended without any errors - all went OK and I restarted back to TWRP Recovery and repeated the same performing format data.

Then went through ROM initial setup skipping all steps related to restore or logon to google.

Then I have installed Magisk 25.0 and performed update to 25.1

Everything is OK up to this step.

Then I have installed S09 dr.Ketan ROM and launched Essential Fix carefully granting root access when requested. That was ended asking for a reboot.

After the reboot WiFi password is forgotten.

Providing again... logged to my WiFi. Doing nothing... rebooting and again password is missed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
I had the wifi issue a little bit as well, try switching off and on, or turning on and off airplane mode re-update password.

One step I did before flashing rom was update all my stock apps (google, chrome, carrier services, etc) not sure if that helps with anything at all but made sure to do that and tested all apps before continuing still had wifi flip off but just re-entered and gave system a little time

Once you get it working again setup tweakspro, you might have to run safetynet fix one final time in rom tool as well (this requires another reboot) and after that you should be ok.

after I had tweakspro and all that stuff finally setup the wifi stayed.

The wifi-glitching is pointed out in Dr.Ketan's install steps there maybe another tip in there I'm missing but you just gotta be patient it will turn back on and yes you may have to re-enter password once or twice.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Can you show me screenshot of ROM Tool main page
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
This is known issue of TWRP, nothing to do with ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
I have just formatted three times data within TWRP and in the progress of setting up again all this staff...

Also thank you @C3R741N for your tips... I will follow them as well when face again WiFi issue...

@dr.ketan - I will share a screenshot if issue will appear but I hope I will finally get the ROM without all of them...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
ah okay thought it might have been the custom fonts or something never seen that before but also thought it was strange that the file was all by itself thanks for clarification. I noted it down so I don't forget to remove it next time

also set up magisk settings for zygisk and turn on the Automatic Response to Grant that makes the rom tool and tweaks pro work a little more smoothly as well.

Just trying to help ya I feel the pain of re-setting up the device a bunch. Requires tons of patience. and coffee :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
I did what suggested.

Nothing helped.

Still after a phone restart WiFi is not connecting, when selected asking for password.

So more: I have chosen DuckDuckGo browser as serach engine - it caused it was downloaded and installed but it is keep closing without any information when trying to open any web page.

screenshot showing main page of ROM Tool S22:

View attachment 5657211

As reported already: three times in the row I did format data in TWRP - no issues, no errors.

I have tried enabling/disabling WiFi - it is connecting properly when password is provided until a reboot - after the phone is rebooted - no connection, and again I need to type my password. I have did this sequence more than 10 times already.

The same with enabling/disabling Flight Mode.

SafetyNet attestation - both: Basic integrity and CTS profile match are "pass"

Google, Chrome, Maps are opening correctly.

The only problem was with Google Play.

Just after Essential Fix apply and phone restart I got:

Within App info I did: clear data, uninstall updates, force stop - after that it stop saying about keeps stopping but "Sign in" button doing nothing.

I have no clue how to fix all these :-(

[EDIT]: After constantly pressing "Sign in" button finally it started and now I see: "Checking info..." screen with big circle rotating... it is rotating already 3 minutes :-)

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
I got this screen setting up as well and thought things were working correctly but didn't, also have done the wiping data/cache of app and not being able to sign back in for me It resulted in wiping and trying again. Best of luck to you!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BrimoFan123:
Together with Dr. Ketan on Telegram we did some other testing with two apk fixes but nothing worked.

Result is always the same: when dr.ketan module is enabled in Magisk then:

a) I'm loosing password to my WiFi and it require to type it again

b) Google Play Sign in button do nothing

c) DuckDuckGo browser when trying to open any web page just closing without any info/message.

When dr.ketan module is disabled in Magisk everything is back to normal: no issue listed in a)-c)

Question: do you experience the same issues a)-c) with dr.ketan Magisk's module enabled?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Does any S908B user here and on S09 have similar issue? Or it affects few users only? There are lot of S908B users but only couple of users have reported it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] C3R741N:
Yes the problem happened to me after essential fix, so then I tried again:

1: triple wiped in twrp

2: rebooted stock signed into google but didnt restore backups, setup wifi. Signed into samsung also didn't restore backup or apps

3: opened my magisk stub and downloaded

4: Opened magisk, quickly went into settings enabled zygisk and quickly went back to main page and waited for additional setup dialog (did it this way so I wouldn't have to reboot 2 times) got "optimizing apps" on the reboot

5: Made sure magisk auto response set to Grant

6: After root was enabled and setup I checked all my google apps and services (worked)

7: Downloaded rom installer s09, let it run and install rom waited for it to auto remove apk, rebooted. Had to enter Wifi again but turned on just took a second.

8: Checked google apps again before applying essential fix (worked)

9: Applied fix, said yes to all tools, let it finish and it auto-rebooted.

10: Got back in and waited a few minutes for rom tool to adjust itself, then signed into wifi. miraculously had no issues with browser or google services, only failed safetynet.

11: Ran SafetyNet fix inside Rom Tool, rebooted, passed safetynet, wifi stayed on

12: continued on, finished setup and everything i wanted and immediately created a Master Backup.

I noticed on my first time applying essential fix my screen wasnt set to stay on and it messed up some of the installation process on me. Make sure to keep on. I used my charger and used the developer option to stay awake when charging
