It depends on the Custom ROM you are trying to install. That is why I wrote this in the OP: OP, ~ ~ ~ Part III - OTHER ~ ~ ~ 1. Custom ROMs, • Need help with a Custom ROM?,
3. If you are trying to install a Addon(s) {Custom Kernel, Magisk, etc.} to the Custom ROM you installed: Search the thread of the Custom ROM you installed or the thread of the Addon you want to add to your Custom ROM for answer(s)/solution(s) to your question(s)/problem(s). If you don't find an answer(s)/solution(s) to your question(s)/problem(s). Post your question(s)/request(s) for help in the Custom ROM or Addon (Custom Kernel, Magisk, etc.) thread.

Some XDA Members are reporting the Adaway module does not work with
Magisk Canary - app-release_981ccabb-25210.apk., after tge fix.

So, you can down grade magisk Canary to Magisk 25206 and wait for Magisk Canary 25211.

Unless I've done something incorrectly, I have noticed that the Contacts app under Android 11 on my rooted Pixel 5 phone (rooted via the instructions here) no longer allows any access to device-only contacts. The contacts have to be shared from a Google account. And it also seems to be the case that it is impossible in Settings to turn off network access for the Contacts app.

And if I freeze the Contacts Storage app, then all my SMS and phone apps only see phone numbers and no user names.

Am I missing something? If not, does anyone know of a way to get the Contacts app or some alternative to access device-only contacts in a way that these contacts are indeed available to SMS and phone apps?

Thank you in advance.

SDK Platform-tools
Several members of the XDA community have
written posts that SDK Platform-tools r34.0.1 broken. Problem: fastbootd not working

SDK Platform-tools r33.0.3 is attached : OP post #769

Always on the edge (thank you)

Nevertheless, why not add this same alert to OP or / and attach r33.0.3 to the same post?

Excellent suggestion, I added a link to SDK Platform-tools rev. 33.0.3 to the OP and attach SDK Platform-tools rev. 33.0.3 to the same post, kinda.

Just wondering if there is a reason not to use rev. 34.0.0?

just 3 or 4 posts before yours, @Homeboy76 clearly stated the reason, it applies to 34.0.0 and 34.0.1

I actually had to go back to page 38 around Feb 21/22 to see 34.0.0 specifically mentioned as having a problem, and it was one person in a bootloop state. I followed the procedure here using 34.0.0 and it is working flawlessly, except when the Pixel 5 was booted in fastbootd, the Windows 10 PC would not recognize the device, but I loaded another driver so it was recognized at https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-install-fastboot-drivers-in-windows-11/

Are you saying that it worked after you installed a driver from that post?
I personally would not dare trust that.
1- Source is not from the official Google.
2- Unisgned, yet it says Google?

Now that I think about it, I don't know why I did not get it from Google! Thanks for raising that mistake. I checked all the SHA256 hashes for the files and they all match with the files from your Google link. Also, the device manager shows the driver as signed by Google and did not prompt during the driver installation saying anything about not signed. Below is a screenshot from the Device Manager on PC.

.

I updated the driver to the version from your Google link and the content in above screenshot did not change.
I guess I was lucky this time, but I will remember this! Thanks again.
