[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Buddy, your whole post about wanting to know if the mod killing watches is offensive to me and my work, I don't tolerate anyone coming with no evidence of whatsoever at my works and without even raising the question with me...

You say I mod what Samsung have implemented, I say you're wrong, the first version of the mod that was abandoned goes back to December 2020, and it didn't have half nor even quarter of what it has now, and from version to another, I always release full log on what Samsung pushed and changed in every update. I go through the entire code, and I check every new line to ensure the mod is always functional and see what else is new...

You came here on a different thread without even getting any clarification on the mod saying what mod version people had while so many who had doubts have "asked" on my thread or messaged me directly...

let me tell you about those who come to me, some have told me theories and scenarios and I'd literally test them to be able to give them the comfort that the theory is invalid, and if I had doubts or uncertainty, I would tell them the theory is possible but hopefully it's not the case...

Devs on XDA here work hard for everyone to have tools to make their lives easier...

And last thing I'd say to you, if you asked and I didn't answer within say 2 days, my response to you on this thread would be totally different, it would be just an answer and that's all but you didn't do that, I answer everyone, on Telegram, on XDA, on Reddit, on Instagram and on YouTube, I haven't missed a single DM or post without an answer... I'm dedicated to my work and providing necessary information when needed...

How would you feel when you have done so much and wrote every single FAQ and have put ways to contact you and someone goes around saying "could this guy's work be the cause of problems, guys tell me when your device died, which version you were using before your device died"...

No matter what you say, this is considered planting doubts and they are unnecessary, simply because you could've asked me...

And if I didn't see your post (since you @ me thankfully), I would've started getting DMs and posts on thread about this and probably many messages/posts and I'd respond to them all by saying no, irrelevant, no connection...

Kindly respect the Devs on XDA, we all work hard to provide everyone with what you need, so do please ask the Devs before sharing your thoughts, it will add unnecessary pressure on us...

Let me invalidate your theory about mod, simply because

1. It's different package name and so it's considered as if you're installing something else, you're not touching the original package...

2. You said after restart, the first thing that loads is the kernel, and if the kernel is bad, nothing would ever run, the whole android you see isn't even constructed or loaded, this will invalidate the first point as well (if you'll say samsung decided to target the mod package name, since kernel didn't load, nothing can be queried)...

3. Finally, you can sue any company that decides to kill the device because you installed something they don't like, to be precise...

A. They violated user privacy by seeing what you have on your device...

B. They really have no right to do that, they can only remove the mod, or make it unfunctonial or pop up message saying mods not allowed... look at bank apps, look at S-Pay, Samsung Health and Google pay, etc, they'd stop working, they wouldn't kill your device...
