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.
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*

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.

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

@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.

I've seen 0 problems with play system updates on this rom, do you mean apps on the play store? What is play system?
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.

Can you explain what critical patch can be bricked ? Sorry for asking

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.

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.

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

But one has to wipe data to install this type of ROM, right? No dirty flash possible?

One time while moving from decrypted to encrypted.
Dirty possible from encrypted to encrypted. Indeed from stock rooted to encrypted custom dirty flashing possible

    when the latest beta ZWICK will ve available to download on official page? pleasee
  • 10
    Dear Users

    It's been 3 days I am on Beta 2 (UB4) and really couldn't found any bug to use as daily driver. Mostly there will be little improvement by samsung before final stable release. Also most of ROM features same like A13 already ported in latest UB4. I am engaged in beta project since day one and probably this will be last beta release for Dr.Ketan ROM unless if there is some major stuff in Beta3, Mostly I will update ROM straightaway to stable release as it is too time consuming (I prefer to make base firmware myself only) to capture beta and prepare odin flashing base from scratch.
    Happy flashing OneUI 6.0 !
    Have a great week end!
    9
    Using UB4 (Beta 2 base) since 24 hrs and doesn't look like beta at all, much stable. So far no any bugs encountered.
    Similar review from couple of tester as well.
    7
    Testing UB7 (based on today's beta5 WIC Oct security patch)
    So far seems all good!

    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
