I lose wifi passwords with installing kernel ! And TB don't Reinstall the passwords !

Great kernel, performs better than Stock for me and works well with adoptable storage:good:

Thank you:laugh:

As you read per instructions in OP, you need to reflash Magisk or SuperSU. Did you even read them?

I lose wifi passwords with installing kernel ! And TB don't Reinstall the passwords !

That's normal, will only happen if you come from stock kernel to custom kernel. Than it won't loose it anymore

 

[clodoux]

Ok. Thanks. And it's normal that TB can't Reinstall the wifi passwords ? Thanks for all

(personally I'm really surprised at the comments popping up everywhere about wifi and bluetooth pairs being lost? Nothing changed from previous years. I wonder if it means that with the S8+ and S8 we have a alot more users who have decided root is the way to go)

@Tkkg1994

Thanks a lot mate.

- All samsung security related configs disabled (as knox, tima, restrict rooting)

So, Is this good news for Samsung Pay users ?

Hey bud. After flashing your kernel I'm getting a bug in the Facebook app whereby if you are scrolling through comments on a thread the act of pressing on the screen to scroll continually gets picked up as a touch and hold event (i.e. edit post/copy post etc)

Given I didn't have the bug before flashing I have to assume it relates to changes made in your kernel.

Now interestingly I had exactly the same bug on my OnePlus 3 using AOSP or LOS so there must be a connection in the kernel config.

I'll try and pull a log.

I have 2 questions :

1. Loosing the passwords is known consequence. But is there any working way to get them restored? TB doesn't work indeed...

2. What happens if one flashes a different kernel (stock or other custom kernel) again after flashing this kernel. I guess you'll loose them every time, right?

All samsung security related configs disabled (as knox, tima, restrict rooting) but why secure folder doesnt work.after flashing kernel pattern security doesnt work.I cant open with pattern.

No it isn't read my post here:

Nope. Samsung has fixed this bug from the S7.
And most likely they will patch the s7 soon as well so we won't be able to use it.
On the s7 it was: hmmm kernel gives me no result, I think that means successfull passed.
Pretty stupid [emoji23]

Hey
Display driver is kept 100% stock and I haven't seen any problems in scrolling. Wouldn't say that it's related to kernel

It's because we switch off secure storage to false (from true on stock)
You loose it again each time you switch from secure storage true to false and vis a verse. This is mainly the cause from stock to custom not from custom to custom

 

[vardar.baris]

this means we cannot use secure folder? I wnt to use it is there a way to use it

Seems No.
I was also sorta excited to wipe my device again, and Start from scratch with Magisk and this Kernel. However, My focus was on SamsungPay.


Anyhow knowing tkkg1994 from a long time, This kernel would do better than all other kernels.

 

[vardar.baris]

also shealth doesnt works.can we do anything

Sadly this doesn't work anymore, I assume samsung will patch it also on the s7 soon (sadly)

It works fine, using it since I got my phone
