It's definitely a no go. Play service crashes go away after clearing data of settings, play service and play store. Installed all updates fir sure too. But, you can not launch the Google settings from Samsung settings, dows nothing. Samsung Watch connection dead, setup again doesn't work too, because of copy profile to watch fails, etc. It makes not sense to use the combo AVDB ROM and S06, it works like crap to be honest. Well hopefully there's an update to your base available from Samsung soon.
In that case you needs to wait for release of required base for your device, sorry, nothing I have to offer you here.
 
anyone got Dolby Digital plus working on this ROM?
I tried this:
it starts and works but does not affect the audio at all!

Hi Dr.
Is it possible to use this rom on
SM-S908B with S06 and S908BXXS2AVDB since that is the latest version released for 908b
If not is there possibility for S05 since that reported to be good for that base maybe add the S05 version app to Premium Catagory for the ppl who can't update above S908BXXS2AVDB.
That would be great.

Now that's a news! System rw isn't possible yet, right?
I think there shouldn't be issue. Actually new multidisabler itself makes vendor rw so if afaneh92 thinks it's fine then he may add option in twrp. But what I am thinking is ROM will continue to be remain same magisk module only, so it can be straightway use on stock rom or if user prefer can use TWRP and run multidisabler to have vendor rw
In any case rom will work without issue.

Sooo, if we won't have root folders (system,vendor,etc) RW? If we want to change a file inside those folders we would have to reboot into recovery (or flash a magisk module) just for that ?

Currently if you flash twrp+custom kernel + multidisabler
You can have only vendor rw not system. It's same on twrp or from root explorer both

I see. Will that change in the future? Or ot was a choice you guys made?
I don't see any needs of making system rw as of now, at least for me I don't care, nor it does make any difference on my rom. Vendor rw is must to use twrp and to make data backup which seems good enough.

Idk, maybe editing some file like build.prop? I mean, why *not* have root in all folders?
You may need some day and using magisk for simple changes is boring.

I don't need to have system rw for changes that I needs on my rom or personal setup, I can do that with just magisk. May it's personal choice though.

    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 once you root device.
    • ROOT with caution.
    • 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

    Regarding full ROM (for S908B/E)

    What I am planning is to make Odin flashable ROM from next version. Now a days on newer device you needs PC & Odin to flash bootloader so making ROM with TWRP flashable zip still you needs PC, Instead if I make Odin flashable ROM then it will be much easier. Even you no more needed to have same firmware installed.
    Installation will be swift like
    • Flash provided files with Odin with respective slot
    • Wipe/Format will be optional if you are already on my ROM. (must in case you are on stock/encrypted data)
    What you think?

    Proposed ROM development now onwards :

    Looking to poll results, it seems most users wants Full system-rw ROM including Mods. So finally found a way so users with any choices won't get disappointed.

    • To make a Full ROM + Mods (No Magisk module requires). This will only for S908B & S908E - This will be for users with choice 1
    • Above said ROM will have option in ROM Tool to remove customization, with this you can remove all customization and retain with pure stock experience. Before removing customization, still you can apply essential fix so it will keep all important systemless fix like SafetyNet/GPay etc. - This will be for users with choice 2
    • Magisk Model development will remain continue for all other variants including S908B/E

    I am Testing Full ROM including mods now on S908E, soon it will be public.
    Thank you for trust & support for ROM!

    PS : Full ROM is under testing now!
