is there a specific reason that full wipe before flashing from 12 to 13 is required? I dirty flash updated from 12+ to 13+ before reading this without wipe and everything SEEMS to be fine. Also is this build root compatible or not currently?
For some settings value format may change from 12 to 13. Eg Option0=A for 12 Option0=B for 13 and when you dirty flash, option0 stays 0 and present as B not A you set before

Root is always compatible

So, it's bootable for dirty flash, but if you encountered any weird behavior, try factory reset

Ahhh ok that makes sense, seems like something I should have done when switching from 12 to 12+ lol, Razer parts would crash if I tried to modify any of the manual text values, interesting that a dirty flash to 13+ seems to have actually fixed this

Reading the current guide for magisk install, it sounds like I need to patch the boot.img, but when I unzipped the rom file, I couldn't find it, is there a different way to do it?

This Rom is working great! still have a bug with the razer camera that makes the app crash and not save the photo I just took. That and setting the LED to 255 makes changeing the value again after reboot just not work . Thank you so very much

Edit1: so I mad e an edit to the touch screen senstivity it felt off after using my fold 3 for a few minuets. Installed root and added [B]# Touch screen calibration and scroll responsivenes debug.performance.tuning=1 windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=200 view.touch_slop=2 view.scroll_friction=1.5 view.minimum_fling_velocity=25 ro.max.fling_velocity=12000 ro.min.fling_velocity=8000 ro.min_pointer_dur=8 touch.size.calibration=geometric touch.size.scale=100 #touch.size.bias=70 touch.pressure.calibration=amplitude touch.pressure.scale=0.3[/B] To the /system/build.prop and seems to be working even better. The razer camera app is working as intended now after it was moved from system/priv-app/ to documents and installed normally. I can open the app and snap a photo and it has saved every time

Edit 2 nope the bug is back it happen when you turn off the flash and take a photo it crashes.

Edit 3 Video calling from the native phone app is also broken, it will auto decline the in coming video call or outbound video call. Facebook was still working for video chat tho

Anyone else have random lag every now and then after opening the app drawer or app switcher? Doesnt seem to affect any apps or the notification drawer, just home screen, switcher, and app drawer

to me, this never happen, it works flawless (even camera feels works better than 12.1). i'm waiting to fix the screen hz issue to say this is perfectly recommended for stable daily use

pd: maybe you need to delete all data before flash ? (i do it and nothing work wrong)

Any ROOTED or MODULED report will be REJECTED.
Last time reply for such report: Camera is always good and btw, your "generic optimize prop" from xda post in 2014 is actually useless, it's almost 2023 now

I'm really sorry, but I need help. There's no way I can get the fastboot commands to work. Tried installing usb drivers I found somewhere else, then on a clean and fresh windows 11 install following the razer instructions to do so... Nothing works... I get the adb devices and reboot bootloader working, but can't move forward. I've been excited for a couple of weeks now, waiting for the revival of my RP2, but I don't get around this issue. What could I do?

Is the same for me, the Best solución for me , is use Linux.
You can use a live system from USB , and do whatever You want, is very easy. Only need to install adb ando fastboot. (Sudo apt-get install adb for debían base system, ando that's it)
I manager to work drivers properly a couple of times in Windows, but in updgrades is loss, so , no more Windows to do this kind of things.
(Only fastboot drivers don't work) so, if You can use sideload install, use it, is simple and You can do it without properly drivers working.

    how soon until the fix? battery drain is relatively high
    is perfectly legit understand the developer, this work is not payed .

    i wait for this to, just be patience, if not we need to learn how to develop changes ...(i ask if somebody need help for this, before XD )
