Installation, Important Infos & Download


Installation : State of the art Installation procedure.
  • Only needed is supported device + Unlocked bootloader.
  • No needs to have device rooted/Installed TWRP/update device to specific base
Detailed installation guide separately available in download area along with ROM files.

WARNING

Before you root your device you must be aware that
  • This will void warranty.
  • As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help.
  • There are many features stop working when you unlock bootloader other than S pay/Pass like Samsung Health, Secure Folder, Galaxy Watch pairing issue, Issue connecting old gear watch (S3 or earlier), Google Pay etc but ROM is patched for all these mentioned features. Still you may trouble using some bank apps and these may fixed by adding these apps to Magisk Hide
  • There may be some knox features there which you may not able to use but I can't list those as I never used. Just Google It
  • Patched featurs are working today when writing this, No idea if it may stop working next moment/tomorrow or later
  • Also to note, once you root, you can't go back to "pre-rooted" state completely. It is one way!
  • OTA won't work on rooted device.
  • ROOT with caution.
  • On unlocking bootloader you will have warning screen while device boot and as of now no workaround to hide. Though it can be removed with re flashing stock rom + re locking bootloader
  • You can unroot & Relock bootloader after flashing stock firmware, but still your warranty flag remain 0x1 and most of countries it still voids warranty. Also after unrooting & relocking bootloader, some knox features never work again.
ROM Tool permission : Files & media - To save and read files, Calendar - Tool needs some time monitoring to avoid using RT immediately after reboot. Special access for accessibility service - Since Android 12 it requires for QS panel custom Toggl e.g. Reboot to recovery

Hi, thanks for the effort. I'm looking forward for the development/optimization of the the S23 Ultra rom/module of yours.

Secondly, I know it's still in "startup phase" but the dedicated S23 page on your website show some faults concerning Exynos, because the S23 don't have this chipset they're all the same. Like under 'IMEI backup' or 'Sound changer'.

    @dr.ketan

    Only for my understanding.
    If I am on your latest ROM version T07, it is not necessary to store and keep your older ROM versions (T06 etc.), because there is no way to to downgrade the ROM/Firmware except they have same bootloader? ...and propably this behavior won't change in the future?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    You should able to downgrade as far as bootloader revision remain same. For example base of T07 is S918BXXS1AWD1
    Here 9th digit is binary revision (1 in above value)
    You can downgrade to other version as far as this 9th digit version remain same

    Care to share your battery efficiency tips please?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    debloat all apps that are not needed
    disable all apps that cannot be debloated and are not needed
    limit background processes for all apps you think are needed, either:

    - via the app's settings in Android
    or
    - via the battery settings in Android (there are more options, e.g. disable the background processes completely)

    install magisk module "universal-gms-doze" to limit the background processes of google-play-service
    set power mode of phone to "light" (battery and device maintenance -> battery -> advanced battery settings)
    make sure in the developersettings that mobile data is turned off, if connected to wifi
    assign a static IP in the wifi settings, if possible
    disable "switch to better WLANs" in the advanced wifi settings
    activate "WLAN energy saving mode" in the advanced wifi settings
    disable "Automatically connect to Hotspot 2.0 WLANs" in the advanced wifi settings
    in connections -> mobile networks disable 5g ("connect LTE/3g/2g automatically")


    Tasker:

    Create profiles to e.g.:

    - With DND enabled (10pm - 7am for me) and screen off, enable airplane mode and reactivate when screen is turned back on.
    - With VoWifi available turn on airplane mode/wifi and turn off airplane mode again when wifi is not connected

    I may have forgotten one or two things, but these are the most important steps (for me)
    It depends of course on your use of the phone, whether the steps are useful
