This mod (camera fix) is for fix when camera doesn't launching. Which is known bug on Samsung device. This fix shouldn't do any harm though. I have just tried on my device without any issue and doesn't have happened anything wrong with camera.

Still use only if you have said issue, also if your issue is related to some other things, it can't fix. If re flashing rom fixed issue then it could be debloating issue in case you did. Anyway in such cases logs are useful
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello,

Indeed it will not work on any rom stock as long as the rw access has not been integrated to the rom, you just have to switch to Dr Ketan’s T04 and you will have access without problem to the modification you want to make,I guess it was to remove the sound from the camera shutter, I did it and it works perfectly, I’m on the T04.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hi Dr Ketan,

Actually I had to remove too many applications that I only use and can be one now is related to the operation of the camera, I will remove them by step to find the one that causes the problem, thanks for the explanations for the camera mod.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No. It's wrong info.

As I have replied to him, optics is RW on stock too. He is not able to do is user error, something wrong on his side.

This is offtopic here. Period.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] torhect:
Hey Dr. thanks for the great work! I have a question. Does the new fs2 read and write system help to improve performance opening apps gamest etc. ?? thanks in advance.!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] godmode1970:
Mail arrived. All fine. Thanks for the support.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
F2FS isn't better than EROFS (stock). But it's better than ext4
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] godmode1970:
It's not all about the pro features, it also supports the developer to continue with future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Thank you for kind words, this is lot more than few bucks! Appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] torhect:
ok I got it!! but what read and write system use s23 by default? EROFS or ext4???
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
By default system (Stock) doesn't have rw because it's erofs which is read only, to make read and write , ROM have changed file types to F2FS which is still closer to erofs.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
Why so defensive? I'm just sharing is caring. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello Dr Ketan,

Will it be possible in the near future to be able to partition the phone’s memory as a computer hard drive, allowing the reinstallation of the system even in full wipe without touching the other data storage. Do the paid mods of your rom allow it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It is possible but needs to create custom pit, which is bit risky and have potential risk of hard brick device. Instead it's much better if Samsung introduce internal SSD drive as external storage
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ends:
Can I flash the baseband from an American AT&T S23U to this phone without problems?

The service and download speeds are not as good on this phone as it is on my locked AT&T S23 ultra. I know all phone come with the same bands now. I think the CSC tells the phone which ones to make active.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Thanks a lot for the answer,only Samsung is able to realize this or a developer can it do it, this would be really awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] torhect:
is this rom comes debloated??? the stock firmware has a lot of crap blotware
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] torhect:
I cant get this rom to work because when first configuration when I want to select region or country it does not pass from there
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Techguy777:
Im curious what can you do when system is RW? I used to always want RW because I could uninstall system apps or add them. But you can't do that anymore, can you? So Just to confirm is viper also not working on the S23 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yes it does

Show screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Techguy777:
I was curious because even on AOSP roms if I use debloat from fdroid that removes system apps like android auto it doesnt remove it right part of the apk doesn't leave and it keeps stopping and causing an error to pop up. So basically I just freeze system apps because of the large storage space.

Im just going to assume viper doesnt work because you didnt mention it. Unless you meant yes they both work

I'm definitely buying your premium app. Even if I don't use those functions....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] elmor0:
Any advice/ guide how to install Viper for S23 Ultra please?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PrinceLc:
@dr.ketan hope all fine with you . Some news about something new to flash ? Thanks for all work
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Brava27:
https://github.com/AndroidAudioMods/ViPER4Android/releases install magisk module then apk.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] szunyi77:
Hello. The application indicates a few days ago that there is an update. There is no T5 in the download folder. How do I update? Or do you have to wait? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tiho5:
Still testing period. Will be out soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
T05 is Online now.

Must Read changelog above, specially if you planning Dirty Flashing ROM.

.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tiho5:
Absolutely amazed by the dev's attention here. He saw this one and quietly agreed and worked to overcome it.

And I can remember the time when devs were hitting hundreds of thanks for a new ROM on XDA for much less work.

This cook here has fimself made so much on RW himself alone, completely automating everything for us for new ROM upgrade, entirely making available all that's on the tweak side and now even is on the way of making a better than Samsung themselves update experience for his users.

Hats down!

Thank you, doctor.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I am amazed with your observation too! as I did it without any reaction when someone reported/requested (in frustration lol!)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello Dr Ketan,

Concerning me the falas is perfectly past but after restarting, I am still on kla version T05,if you know what there is to do to be on the latest version after the flash?

A big thank you in advance and congratulations again for this superb work Dr Ketan.View attachment 5868059View attachment 5868061
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tiho5:
I posted here.. that I wasn't able to update and upgrade my phones for the past years (personal stuff with ill ppl).

But one thing is for sure: I try to not ask much. Instead I really read your ROM threads these years and followed everything daily, so that I don't reach a point to have to be spoon fed. But this was without having the new devices and the time. Therefore I admit I'm rusty and had no direct experience with phones/ROMs after Android 9. I was only reading.

I'm now really happy to be back to your product. Outstanding work, patience and standard here.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Any chance you forget to remove magisk module as said in changelog?

Check and remove if there
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Sorry I don’t speak English correctly, I must have missed this, which module should be removed before the flash, thank you for your return.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Check if ROM Tool have option to "prepare dirty flashing ROM" on main page?

If yes then run it and reboot device, it should be T05 after this
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Sorry,I think I just found,Dr Ketan rom module T04,I just deleted it,I’ll try the flash again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No needs to flash

Reboot device and you will have T05
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Thank you very much Dr Ketan,

Perfect, now I am of course on the T05 version, but I no longer have the Dr Ketan module in the magisk modules, it must be put back and if so how, thank you again, your work is extraordinary. View attachment 5868069View attachment 5868071
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No more module requires with system-rw

Next time before flashing rom simply select "prepare for dirty flashing ROM" option from rom tool if planning dirty flashing
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Awesome,bravo,it’s perfect,extraordinary,thanks again Dr Ketan.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lahceneamine:
I was the one asking for it, I had no reply by then but I when I saw the changelog I almost dropped a tear.

I Will definitely buy the pro version tomorrow.

Thanks a lot Dr !!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
Hi Dr Ketan, thanks for the awesome job!

So fromT04 we still have to remove all magisk module and clear data of Rom tool before flashing T05 right?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] torhect:
can I update the rom through rom toolbox?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lahceneamine:
Couldn't sleep without doing it.

Donation sent :)

Good Night everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
@dr.ketan hello why you ignore me? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] djomaster:
it looks like you didn't read couple posts previous when he said again: yes you need to remove all magisk module before flash to T05 and also inside the installation guide.

Then from T05 to the next version you don't need to do it
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
Okay thanks, I'm newbie and lots of banking data. So must be extra cautious when flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PrinceLc:
@dr.ketan i am on T05 and have this problems seen in Screenshots. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
As explained you earlier, I don't know. Best way is change the ROM/restore stock, You'll be much happy.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PrinceLc:
Ok but what about webview and chrome wont install?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Read Post #5 about how to report bug/issue

Once you have all the required info, post it again.

Hello. First of all, thank you for your work! Dirty installation is as easy as 1x1! There was no problem. Everything works perfectly! I enjoy the T5 😊👌
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nelson04:
I was able to install everything perfect with the dirty installation... thank you very much 💪🏽🇩🇴💯
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Really S23U battery is amazing. Today there was quite high usage and nearly 5 Hrs SOT and still half battery juice spared.

View attachment 5869439
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Thank you guys for reporting and supporting ROM.

T06 will be even more easier simply use ROM tool option (prepare for dirty install) and you are all set to dirty install ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
The overall smoothness in T05 is awesome!

Thank you @dr.ketan !
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Brava27:
Yes. Samsung hit a homerun with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
Great rom, thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vlubosh:
Please, try someone to remove pen on locked screen, if notes app will start. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] torhect:
Hey i would like to Know if you are planning in a future to get involved in kernel develepment?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No

Samsung Notes is no more system app so not included in ROM

Install from galaxy store and you will have note while removing pen.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] c@meleon:
- I installed this ROM and it really fluid, refined etc...

Thanks for the work, and for that, I paid for the pro tweaks... - GREAT!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] torhect:
Does the pro tweaks really work? Worth to buy it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] c@meleon:
YES... And you're many options... I'll paid to give a coffee to dev too....🙂
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
I have bought it too! Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tiho5:
I bought it to support the the dev. And yes, it offers a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] patrick1010:
Hello, I'm facing an issue where the Galaxy S23 Ultra is not able to start up properly. I'm also not able to get into Download Mode nor into the Recovery Mode again.

My Galaxy S23 Ultra is not really in a boot loop. It's more that the screen is black and it's booting up occasionally/randomly when playing around. Having the cable connected to the PC and pressing [Vol Down] + [Power] to get into Download Mode or [Vol Up] + [Power] to get into the Recovery Mode is not possible anymore as the smartphone is not reacting and then the screen gets black again.

I never faced such an issue and was always able to solve issues but this time I'm quite perplexed. I would very much appreciate any tips or ideas what could be done in such a case.

It actually happened when I installed System-RW T05 and accidently did a factory reset.

At this point my colleague (who owns the smartphone) wanted to get his apps data back. Therefore he did a restore with TWRP but wasn't able to login with the screen lock password even he used the correct password. Then he took an old Backup and restored also the boot partition. At this point the smartphone wasn't able to boot up or to get into download or recovery mode again.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Try smart switch
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] patrick1010:
Thank you for your fast response.

Would you please help me to understand how I could use smart switch. I can't boot into the smartphone and can't install anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] patrick1010:
..and I also can't connect the smartphone to the PC
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Needs to install on PC, then connect device with emergency recovery option

By the way there shouldn't be issue rebooting download mode, try this

Connect device to PC

Keep holding vol down + power - As soon as device screen turns off (reboot), release power and hold Vol up +down

This should reboot device to download mode

Remember you needs to connect to PC during this. Sometimes perfect timing is needed, keep trying and you should have download mode, once you have straightway flash stock rom and use Csc*.tar.md5 instead home_csc*
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] patrick1010:
Dear Dr. Ketan,

Thanks a lot! I will try this tomorrow. Very much appreciate your support!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
I see on the downloads page there is listed a "new zip" for full rom. I flashed before the new zip was listed. Do I need to reflash?

By the way the battery on this is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I you were "Test User" of T05 (Downloaded from another location) then yes, else it is same *_NEW.zip since it is public.

Another clue : If your ROM Tool - Mods & Misc Fix have option for App Cache Cleaner, you are already on New and no needs to flash again
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
I wasn't a tester and no App Cache option in rom tool>mods and misc

Thank you for your quick reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Thats only difference, if you are fine without that option you are fine with skipping update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PrinceLc:
@dr.ketan check please something in your rom, the rom is smooth and very good but there is a bug with updating play system updates. I flashed the stock firmware with root to see if it was root related or rom related, and it is rom related because now I can obtain normal the play system update. I hope you are not offended I like your rom with all goodies but this one bug. I don't know if it is because of RW system now or I don't know. But with the stock firmware it is working normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
I've seen 0 problems with play system updates on this rom, do you mean apps on the play store? What is play system?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PrinceLc:
Play system update is a security update not the security patch it's shown on the third place in software info. It must be February 2023 or March 2023.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
@dr.ketan and guys do you guys tested the Viper4android?

I can't enable Convolver. Attached for your reference.

I'm using TweakPro

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
No idea as not using Viper. Few pages ago someone posted github link to of Viper, check if you find any similar report there or may post issue to get fix
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
After digging ino it found there is a issue, I can fix it but at presently fix isn't good. Fixing it may be unacceptable to many users as it may brick some critical patch, while this bug hardly making any issue to majority of users. Unless I found perfect fix, I am no going to address it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PrinceLc:
Can you explain what critical patch can be bricked ? Sorry for asking
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Data Encryption :

Since we now have TWRP with data encryption support, What you prefer to have ROM with Encrypted/Decrypted data?

Benefits :

With data encryption your data will remain safe

Won't require to Format data while moving between Stock/Custom ROM (Encrypted data supported)

Bugs :

TWRP have still one bug, If you set LockScreen Password, TWRP can't decrypt it. So you have to disable Password in case you want to use TWRP with Internal Storage Access

May be Encrypted related any bug, We needs to test more but Primarily seems no any issue

In both the cases System will remain System-RW (read/write capabilities)

I have added poll to OP, Kindly vote, If there are enough users to test Encrypted then I may make Two version of ROM for T06.

T07 will have data Encrypted/Decrypted depend on what majority of users choose.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
So I guess the password drawback will be just when using TWRP, right? Not that you can't use fingerprint or other screenlock passwords at all when using your phone ... Then it wouldn't be much a problem or difficulty to just disable it when using TWRP related tasks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yes only while using TWRP. If you set lockscreen password, twrp won't see your internal storage that's only drawback. Same time it protect from stealing data from twrp.

For normal use while phone booted to android, no limitation using password/pin/Finger print/face lock
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tiho5:
But one has to wipe data to install this type of ROM, right? No dirty flash possible?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
One time while moving from decrypted to encrypted.

Dirty possible from encrypted to encrypted. Indeed from stock rooted to encrypted custom dirty flashing possible
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
Absolutely great. Then I see no drawback in encrypted to be honest.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tiho5:
I can't wipe data. Too many customizations.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
Encrypted too many hassle, if hacker wants to hack your data no matter if is encrypted it is still possible .
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ecirbaf:
hello Dr Ketan, nice to meet you.

sorry for my poor english.

First thanks for your great job, i use your roms since years with note10, S7 and note 4... great !

i have a question, i just bought a S23 ultra, rom stock actually...

if i install your last rom custom, am I loosing all my data ?

(i regret the old model with sdcard and jack socket mmmpfff lol)

thanks a lot

Fab
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Yes, You can find more details on installation guide available in download area
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello Dr Ketan,

At the next update, the option to see the internal storage memory as an external micro sd will be such as available, it only needs that for your rom to be almost perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
Not able to turn camera shutter sound off with csc features. I have tried all 3 options and rebooted each time. I am on T05.

Also, I keep getting notices that there is an update for the rom, but there isnt?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Brava27:
Decrypted

Not possible
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
Just use micro SD usb adapter to read external micro sd card.

I an confused why it says t04 I thought I had flashed t05, I was wrong. Can I dirty flash t05?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
You are on T04

Or

As suggested you haven't removed magisk module before dirty installing T05

In case of later, remove ROM module and reboot should fix
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
I flashed it and did a factory reset. When I apply essential fix, it gets stuck. Sticks at goodlock install then after reboot and next try it gets past that and stuck at yasnac install then closed now I can't reopen it

Update: it installed and is now up and running, thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mic-4:
Hello Johnny,

Thank you for your advice but I already have this tool and use this method, medium practical and especially much longer when we have a lot of data, I hope it will be possible soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
Takes apps longer than usual to install should I format data completely?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Can you show me magisk module installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Johnny Eng:
You can use usb OTG to external SSD, the transfer is super fast. Anyway backup we don't do it often, so just plug in when needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jhr5474:
I installed T05 and for s

You mean the module page?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
I have bought S21 and S22 but never convince to make thse device primary because of lacking of SD and till now I was using N20 as primary device. (S21 was pure S series device so there was no question to make it primary as being fan of note series, Indeed donated by S21 users to add ROM support)

Now with S23U I convince myself using it primary as My area just started 5G, We have to accept Ext SD is past and needs to accept "Cloud" service for Backup. I am using GDrive now as you can use same way SD card drive letter in MyFiles OR Root Explorer (Both are my favorite file managers) as separate Drive letter.

Still Hoping some day Samsung add extra external SSD drive to replace Ext SD cards

Also Using Samsung USB OTG for occassional Full Backup and really have nice transfer speed, Using FolderSync is icing on the cake.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Access denied is known issue, check post #29 of my other thread (how to root)

Though random reboot done have reported

I am pushing new update with all these fix. Stay tuned, who are already on first release can dirty flash
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Benny-Danny:
Thanks! Also, can confirm, although saftynet passed, google wallet is not working (adding card to pay with NFC)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Have you you hide wallet in enforce deny list? Also clear wallet data and reboot, also hide magisk app (rename)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Test and let me know, else giving you another fix
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Benny-Danny:
Done those 3 things already. I'm using Universat SaftyNet Fix v2.4.0. Is this the correct one?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
Wait for new ROM, that ahouod have fixed
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enebro77:
@dr.ketan

I dont get " you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once".

I had an N20 Ultra 5G with your ROM and was able to use Samsung Pay Watch plug-in thanks to "universal Safety net".

You mean now that module is not working anymore ?

Many thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
It may work on Watch, On device it won't
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dr.ketan:
