Hi everyone,
This ROM is great. every things are working well.
But I don't know how to change the "Right hard key's function. I don't want it show the "recent apps" when we press.
It should be a menu key when we using App.
Please support!
Thanks,

no root after flashign WizCyan
After flashing WizCyan 4 with update 1 I don't have root access. I've tried reinstalling several times and I've also tried to install superSU on it's own using CWM, both the latest version and older versions, with no success. I've also tried to install just v4 but the problem persists. Does anybody have any clue on what could be wrong? I've had root on the phone using other ROMs. I use the latest CWM.
And yes, I chose no when promted to fix superuser in CWM. Although I have also tried to pres yes during one installation.

What version of cwm are you having? Also when you click on the supersu app what message do you get?

I used version 6.0.3.5. Today I installed 6.0.5 and redid the flashing of the update and also of superSU 2.16 by it self from CWM. No difference
When i press the superSU app I dont get any message really. Looking at the log it's as if though the app denies all apps access without asking. I tried changing the settings in superSU to allow all requests and then the phone passed the check with root checker and root apps also seem to work. No app is added to the SuperSu applist.

I would suggest that you do a clean install of the ROM, now that your recovery has been updated

Excessive consumption of battery
Sorry, but this was translated by google.
I found a big problem in version 4 and is the battery, prior to this version, the battery works well, the battery lasted the whole day, but now the battery hopefully enduring three hours.
Please, give solution to this problem or any suggestions, as I really like this ROM and do not want to change the other.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, did some testing and found that some of the init.d scripts were eating battery therefore have posted an update in the OP removing these and battery consumption should be better after flashing this update.

can i install

Sure, you can install on any firmware, but if you have wifi issues then you may need to flash modem or some other workaround. Just wipe data/factory reset and install version 04 followed by update 02. I am not sure on what you mean by memory but presume that you are referring to internal sd card. This will depend on what apps/features you install from the addon package and playstore. The ROM will not affect your internal sdcard space as it will be installed on the reserved system space.

Hello, first sorry by my english, its sucks, but ill try to explain my problem, i install the rom wizcyan - s5 style in my I9295 (of course), and follow all the instruction, like de developer says, starts normaly, but for example, when i push the screen mirroring button, the phone freeze an restart, and occasionally shows a message like "android core process stoped". do all the wipes, and install the 6.0.5 rom manager, all the proces finish ok, install the update, and occurs the same problem, i like this rom its cool , faster and light, without all the samsung crap, someone can help me please, thanks in advance.

In case you want to use screen mirroring then you would need to install allshare from the addon package

I've been tinkering with trying to get WizCyan totally working on my device for a couple of days, but I can't for the life of me get Wifi working (at first it was root access, but that was fixed by upgrading CWM). Here is the exact process I've followed:
Updated CWM to 6.0.5 (PhilZ's version)
Did a factory reset from recovery (I didn't use the "Clean to install new ROM" function)
Installed WizCyan version 4, followed by update 2
Rebooted, attempted to configure WiFi -- failed.
Flashed the NE5 modem package from the links in the dev thread, using Odin 3.07 -- twice each, as instructed
Still can't get my Wifi to enable. The flash was successful, as I can see the correct baseband on the "about" screen, but it refuses to enable. I'm in Australia, but I believe this phone came from UAE -- would that make a difference to the way the modem interacts with the Wifi hardware? I pulled this info from logcat:
Code:
I/WifiManager( 1084): setWifiEnabled : true
I/WifiService( 882): setWifiEnabled: true pid=1084, uid=10008
E/WifiHW ( 882): ##################### set firmware type 0 #####################
E/WifiHW ( 882): Cannot open "/data/.cid.info": No such file or directory
E/WifiHW ( 882): ==========[WIFI] Station firmware load ===========
E/WifiHW ( 882): return of insmod : ret = -1, Exec format error
E/WifiStateMachine( 882): Failed to load driver
E/WifiStateMachine( 882): sendErrorBroadcast code:10
E/WifiController( 882): Wi-Fi driver is unstable. Received CMD_STATEMACHINE_RESET
In the mean time, I'm going to try to source either a local radio, or one from the original region, to see if that helps.

Can't get anything much from the logcat, it refers to a file that gets created on 1st boot you can try doing a factory reset from settings--> backup & restore--> factory data reset. Only backup your internal sd card before doing this as it will wipe your entire phone including internal sdcard and then reflash the modem.

Well if I'm going to go that far, I may as well do it properly and completely restore the phone to stock and start again. When I bought it, the first thing I did was root, flash CWM and a CM based ROM -- it's probably worth starting fresh anyway, I'm only going to be using it for a couple more weeks until it's replacement arrives.
I'm currently downloading the latest firmware for my region (XSA), a 4.2.2 based MK3 build from the end of last year -- do you think I'd have better chances if I restored to a 4.4.2 build (like NE5), or should it not matter if I completely reset the phone to factory settings/software?

Generally doing a factory reset from the phone resets the entire firmware and is helpfull to resolve such issues. if you want to install the entire firmware, I would recommend flashing the 4.4.2 PHN firmware you can get the download link in post# 13. But then there were wifi issues after flashing the PHN firmware for which a factory reset from the phone happened to be the solution.

Thanks for that mention of the firmware, I had the radio from that link but forgot you'd also linked the full package. Google Drive is much faster than the websites I'd been trying to get files from, it took 15 hours to download the XSA firmware I was originally going to use.
You were totally correct, resetting the phone was the solution. I got the PHN firmware, flashed it via ODIN only to find it still hadn't fixed the WiFi problem -- even after a factory reset -- however the process of flash/reset/re-flash fixed it for me -- it seems unnecessary to me, but I guess times have changed since I last tinkered with unlocked devices. I'm happy to say that I now have WiFi working under WizCyan now, just wanted to check back in just in case anybody else was facing similar issues. As painful as it is to have to back up and totally restore, sometimes starting completely fresh is the best solution.
Now I'm off to rebuild my SD Card, lol.

Glad to know that you managed to get the wifi working.
Personally, I did not face the wifi issue after flashing PHN firmware, but know that quite a few have faced this issue as reported in this thread
Normally my understanding and experience is that when you flash different modems / firmware some corruption occurs and factory reset from within the phone resets the partition & firmware. 1st time I experienced this was when I was using a MTK 6575 based device and had amended the EBR, MBR and scatter files to modify the partition sizes, even though these were flashed through mobiuncle tools (similar to odin), the revised partitions did not get changed until I did a factory reset from within the phone. I know that this is irrelevant here but thought that I would share this.

[ME176CX]: Confused by alternatives...

Hi,
my ASUS ME176CX currently is:
* rooted
* xposed
* able to boot "anything" (unsigned bootloader)
* using L-Speed
and is running UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.24
So fine so nice...but:
My charging rate drops from 0.5% each minute to 0.125% each minute.
APK-files I download from apkpure reaches the external SD-card as *.zip files, which
I first have to rename to install them (so the structure as such is not touched).
May be all this problems are a result of my experimenting...
I think it is time for the total reset of everything.
But what to take?
* UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.24 again ?
* UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.33 (I read about a sever impact to battery life, though) ?
* UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.36 ?
* the russian lite version of the 36er firmware (I read of not working audio/gps/camera with this?)
* anything else which I had not found while searching?
And: Since TWRP now is installed, I would flash whatever it is advisable to flash with that...
and overwriting the code of a running program -- in this case the flashing application: TWRP itsself.
At this point I need the help of some deep gurus, I think?
How should I flash what firmware to get "the most" (less lagging, more battery life) out of my tablet?
Thank you very much for any help!
Cheers,
Noriatell
PS: Does anyone has experienced any wearout of the internal flash due to write cycles so far?

i use .36 uk release and i havent got any issues with it, ive rooted and debloated (i dont know why people are banging on about a russian lite version, its just debloated aswell isnt it)..
Theres been no point really for TWRP so far, i dont know if a custom rom will be released anytime soon

Hi russy23,
thank you for your reply
One thing I didn't understand (language problem...I am no native english speaker):
"Theres been no point really for TWRP so far" means: There are no problem reported
so far flashing a official ROM with the combon of unsigned bootloader and permanent
TWRP?
Do I need to reflash the bootloader?TWRP again?
Sorry for the tutti frutti of questions...I simply fear to lock out myself from the tablet...
Thanks a lot!
Cheers
noriatell

Ive not lost TWRP after i reflashed the official firmware, so it must be a permanent recovery..
well we were given TWRP a while ago to flash custom roms and eveything has gone silent since, for me stock rom debloated is good

Hi russy32,
I flashed the 36er ROM...and got an error at the end...but it rebooted fine (so far...did made extensively testing right now, though).
I had to reflash SUPERsu and xposed, but this seems to be quite normal...
Do you know, what triggers this error (Saying "Error flashing <filename of ROM>.zip") ?
When reflashing the 24er ROM there was a problem with a check in one the scripts, which has to be removed by hand before flashing...
I currently dont know of any similiar with the 36er ROM. And that failure was right in the beginning of the process and the ROM.
Is there a way to check whether I am on 36er ROM now (something which is for sure, since the "About" is only a copy of a string...)?
Cheers,
noriatell

If I remember correctly I got an error when installing..but everything was working well after..I installed it through adb. The only way I know to check version is the about section

Bad news...
To get a clean install without error I wiped cache, system, Dalvik-cache and system and reinstalled the ROM.
I got errors and a bootloader-loop (stuck in the "Intel" logo).
Now the tablet is charging...I need new power for the next steps.
TWRP is still working.
What had caused this?
How can I get back a clean boot?
Post edit:
I have reapplied my nandroid backup of the 24er ROM. It works so far (It boots). But I have
back the problems I described above.
Question remains:
How can I get a clean install of the 36er ROM?
Cheers,

Fantastic! Finally we've got a rom of our very own, for which you've got my immense thanks. I'm very much looking forward to trying it out.
Unfortunately when I flashed it there was a loooong wait on the Samsung logo, and then... Well, after an hour I booted back to recovery to start over.
I honestly don't think your rom was the problem though, because from some point last night everything I tried - custom rom flashing and nandroid backup restores - wound up the same way. Odin + stock + root got a usable system at least, and today's been too busy to try again. But when I do I'll post back about how it goes.
(Sadly, I can't go back in time to see what order I did things and look for a pattern if this happens again. In case it might be useful to anyone, I know for sure I'd gotten stock set up comfortably and made a complete backup before giving thunderoar's T113 kernel a whirl, and that went swimmingly. Even had mounts2sd properly recognizing external sd set up after a long struggle, though not actually enabled yet. Don't know what else i did between making that backup and trying to flash this, but it's likely I just screwed something up somehow.)

Upgrade your firmware to PH5 before flash and use TWRP 3.0.2-0.
Firmware: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T113
TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/goyave/
Wipe all partition in TWRP:
System, Cache, Dalvik and if you can internal Storage.
Thunderoar Kernel isn't compatible with PH5 firmware for the moment.
Let me know how it goes

Thanks so much for responding even though I didn't specifically ask.
Pretty much all my knowledge comes from following instructions in these forums and piecing little bits of information together, so I've got a few questions - trying to understand the "why" behind these things in order to be more self-sufficient. Please feel free to point me towards resources where I can learn more!

I've been wiping Data as well - is that not necessary?
Does wiping Internal Storage have a big effect? I suppose there's a fair bit of app-specific stuff in there that could cause issues?

When you install a rom, especially a TW one, in most case you need a specific Bootloader to cause it to start and work smoothly.
Wikipedia:
A boot loader is a computer program that loads an operating system or some other system software for the computer after completion of the power-on self-tests; it is the loader for the operating system itself. Within the hard reboot process, it runs after completion of the self-tests, then loads and runs the software. A boot loader is loaded into main memory from persistent memory, such as a hard disk drive or, in some older computers, from a medium such as punched cards, punched tape, or magnetic tape. The boot loader then loads and executes the processes that finalize the boot. Like POST processes, the boot loader code comes from a "hard-wired" and persistent location; if that location is too limited for some reason, that primary boot loader calls a second-stage boot loader or a secondary program loader.
The bootloader runs your rom with specific instructions, if the rom does not support an older bootloader simply does not boot. My rom does not support the older bootloader. A zip flash in this case cannot upgrade a delicate part like the bootloader. You need to flash the newer one with Odin.

The latest update for your country is PA5. Try with THIS.

The CSC (Sale Country Code) Is that part of the firmware that contains all the telephone operator customizations (e.g. WAP, MMS) for the intended country. As far as i know, It is not important for us.

Yes, the Recovery can make the difference.
I've been wiping Data as well - is that not necessary?
Does wiping Internal Storage have a big effect? I suppose there's a fair bit of app-specific stuff in there that could cause issues?

I forgot to write data, my bad! But i wrote it in the instructions in the first topic. For personal experience i had different issues when I didn't formatted the Internal Storage. The Android folder, .thumbnails and others, can create issues.

I'll reply more later, but wanted to report that it's installed and running very smoothly! Haven't played around much but will do at home later.
If you've got any tips for getting mounts2sd up and running I'd really appreciate it!

Yup, that's the app I'm using, but haven't been able to get my external partition mounted properly. I did manage it once, think it was with thunderoar's kernel though.

Life has gotten in the way of playing around with this, but thought I'd send you an update as I said I would...
Your rom is running really nicely on my tablet as I use it daily. It's smooth and small, with no unexpected reboots or fc's on installed apps. Didn't wipe internal SD but it hasn't given me any issues with existing data (probably because there wasn't much to start with).
One thing that has caused a problem is calendar sync. It looks like you've taken out the actual syncing service, so when I try to access my calendars through any app I'm asked to add a new Google account, even though everything's already set up in "Accounts" under Settings. I haven't tried running the "calendars.providers.apk" from my other phone, that should fix the problem - but I don't want to use the wrong version and break something!
Also, I've confirmed that the only time I got mounts2sd working, it was with thunderoar's kernel. So guess that's going to have to wait.
A few adjustments I made to the setup were to uninstall all "unnecessary" system apps (not needed to run the device), and re-install them from the store. This way I've got 676mb free on /system and still over 1.5GB free on internal storage.
I've also added a multi-reboot menu to make getting into recovery or download mode simpler, and this is loading more quickly on your rom than stock. I've also had to modify permissions.xml to allow apps to access external storage by default, and made another tweak to disable the "loud volume warning" (don't remember quite what it was offhand).
Would you consider adding these to a future version?
Again, thanks SO much for putting this together, answering questions, and doing your thing. It's greatly appreciated!

The calendar sync issue should be fixed in the next update.
Anyway, If I have enough time, the next update should contain a lot of new features. Your suggestions are already planned :good:

Jimbus369 said:
When you install a rom, especially a TW one, in most case you need a specific Bootloader to cause it to start and work smoothly.
....
The bootloader runs your rom with specific instructions, if the rom does not support an older bootloader simply does not boot. My rom does not support the older bootloader. A zip flash in this case cannot upgrade a delicate part like the bootloader. You need to flash the newer one with Odin.

One more question about this: The way you've worded the second paragraph seems to imply only that older bootloaders don't work with newer roms, so are newer bootloaders backwards compatible? Say I've got the PH5 bootloader installed and I want to restore a backup of the previous firmware, do I have to flash that firmware first?
Sorry if it seems obvious, this is how we learn!

Absolutely it isn't obvious, don't worry . The Bootloader, for my personal experience, are backwards compatible. I don't have a scientific knowledge about this, but for what I did with other device it can work. Just try :fingers-crossed:, don't forget a full backup.

T113/T113nu and T116/T116ny have a similar codename and hardware (The recovery have goyave codename, therefore any rom with goyave codename can be flashed). For the hotspot, maybe some missing libraries, a different driver or a different kernel makes hotspot broken. Try to restore your kernel from a previous backup.

[Help] Unable to use custom ROMs on brand new 3T (touch non responsive once woken)

So about 3 weeks ago my 2 year old 3T just stopped working out of nowhere. I debated on whether to upgrade for over a week, but eventually decided to replace it with the same, just to have the familiar ROM, & not to have to learn anything new or mess with anything else, since I'm going through a lot of personal stuff right now. Anyway, I got the phone over a week ago and I've tried everything since then to get it running something beside OOS to no avail. Every single time it goes to sleep in another ROM, once I wake it up, touch is no longer responsive. I can't for the life of me figure out why. I have tried so many different things, in so many different ways. I know it might sound ridiculous but at this point I'm just in tears... I really need a functional phone, and I never would have bought another OP3T if I knew I'd be stuck with OOS....
The process I went through as soon as I got it:
Unfortunately I don't remember the version of OOS that it came with
- Unlock bootloader
- Flash TWRP (twrp-3.0.4-1 due to a thread I came across and was confused by)
- Wipe everything
- Flash recommended firmware for my ROM (posted in the ROM's thread)
- Flash my favorite ROM (Unofficial RR)
- Flash Magisk
- Boot, everything seems fine, screen goes off, turn it back on, unable to use touchscreen anymore.
I then used the unbrick tool, and tried again. Same problem. Used unbrick tool, unlocked bootloader, this time tried to flash this unofficial Lineage . Booted. It went to sleep. Woke up. Touchscreen nonfunctional.
I shut it down. Unbrick tool. This time I let it update itself all the way up to the very latest version of OOS. I go through the entire process again, this time flashing TWRP 3.2.1.0, it's the same thing. I've tried going up to open beta and then flashing my roms. I've tried flashing the rom without firmware, without magisk. With gapps. Without gapps. I always format and wipe everything. I also tried this on the off chance it might work.... I have seriously done the process every way imaginable, over twenty times since I got the phone last week.... nothing ever works. I also just tried Cyanogenmod, but it wouldn't flash at all.
I don't know what to do anymore. I just want to have a phone that I don't hate. At this point, I am too tired and I've got too much going on to figure this out on my own anymore. I would be grateful to pay someone at this point just to help me get this working honestly.... so if there's anyone out there who knows how to fix this, please let me know

Did you buy a new unit from somewhere or did you get a second hand unit ? In the latter case, the person who owned the device before you might have replaced the display for whatever reason, replaced displays often run into these kind of issues.
Also, does this happen on all the ROMs ? It seems you're only flashing Nougat roms, It could be that the hardware is not falling in line with the older software (just a guess). Try flashing a newer, latest updated pie rom and see how that works out.

At any point, did you flash a full OOS zip (over 1 GB) and not just update patches? That is where I would start, to make sure it's one a completely stock baseline (including firmware, etc.).
You can get the latest full update zip from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/official-oxygenos-5-0-1-android-8-0-t3728119

@SpaceOctopus
I would try a newer firmware like the
Stable5.0.8 Firmware+Modem_OnePlus3T.zip
I would also recommend the latest TWRP = twrp-3.3.0-1-oneplus3.img
if still not working definitely flash the flash a full OOS zip from the post above which is 5.0.8
else you should try making the jump to a 9.0 PIE ROM, I see an official and unofficial RR if that is your goto ROM, easy to locate in the [INDEX] ROMs, Kernels & Misc. for 3/3T thread

I mean, does using the unbrick tool count? I think it completely flashes everything back to stock. Granted it's a very old version of OOS, but either way I will try that next just in case. Thank you.

I did try that TWRP eventually. No change. I would probably have switched to pie a while ago, except one small thing. There's an xposed module I'm really attached to, and as far as I'm aware, xposed isn't available on pie? Or at least that's what I've heard/read. It's the xprivacy lua module that lets you control every type of data an app has access to. I think I've tried looking for an alternative and there aren't any, either. :'( You know, sometimes it's just that one small thing... lol
However, I did try to install the most recent version of RR yesterday, and it failed flashing. Don't know why. I'm going to try again after flashing the firmware. Maybe it'll work this time.
Anyway, I'm also going to try what you all have recommended and see what happens. Hopefully something happens. Thank you much for your help

Ok, well, this time it let me install Resurrection Remix latest version. It may not be exactly what I wanted, but it's pretty goddamn close, and it sure as hell isn't OOS! lol
Thanks for your help everyone! I really appreciate it. I do still really wish I knew wtf was happening honestly with it not properly running nougat ROM's, but hey, this works for me. It won't make me want to toss it in a dumpster and set it on fire every time I pick it up. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Maybe I can get someone to figure it out in the future or something, I don't know. I sure wish someone would convert that xprivacy module to work with Magisk though! I'm surprised nobody has even made an alternative or an app or anything like it really.

I think the unbrick tool does flash the full OOS. But honestly not 100% sure, as I have never actually had to use the unbrick tool (knock on wood!). Which is one reason I decided to pose that as a question.
In any case, if the unbrick did flash an old OOS, best to replace with newer version (or at least the firmware). Updated firmware typically plays better with the current custom ROMs. And old firmware is often a culprit when random bugs occur after flashing a custom ROM. So again, flashing firmware and/or the full update zip (which also flashes the firmware) is best practice in such cases. And if you are in any doubt about the OOS version or corresponding firmware that was installed, it probably doesn't hurt to flash again.

Question Weird behavior on 2 different ROMs

Hey,
I got my Pixel 7 last week and installed Graphene OS on it, however after some days I noticed it behaved very strange.
No buttons on the phone worked anymore, neither the power nor the volume buttons. After I did a full reboot the buttons worked again, but then the fingerprint scanner is not available anymore?!
As i very much like to have both, the buttons and the finger print, working I did a factory reset and installed LineageOS. But now I have the same beavior again after 2 days with the new ROM.
Did anyone experiences something similar already? Do you think this is a hardware issue? Can I still get a replacement if I already unlocked the bootloader and tinkered around with the OS on the phone?

Sounds like a hardware issue. Although its a bit strange that it would affect either the fingerprint sensor or the buttons. Could you describe what goes on with the fingerprint sensor in more detail?

Well the fingerprint hardware is simply not available, conpletely gone from the settings, doesn't show up on the lockscreen, like it doesn't even exist on the device.
If I then reboot the hardware is available again but the whole OS is super buggy, the buttons don't work and the phone will soft reboot after a few minutes.

Before you call it a hardware issue why not flash back to stock and verify. Most likely a rom issue and I'm sure the other rom pulls from the lineage source, most do. Would also explain the issue persisting on two different roms.

Yeah I will try it but the Android flash tool failed on me on 2 seperate machines. So now I habe to do it manually with adb it seems.
But even if the Stock ROM works, it's still weird, as nobody else reporting on this.

I seem to recall a problem with fingerprint disappearing from screen and settings like you described. I think it was in the Pixel 6 forums months ago. I don't remember any details.
It's not unusual to lose certain functions with a custom ROM but the button problem is definitely unusual. Whether it's software or hardware, if you can reproduce at least one of these problems with stock Android then I think you have your answer. And as long as factory firmware is installed, bootloader is locked and you factory reset it, you should be ok returning the phone for repair or replacement.

Thanks for the answer!
Today I finally had the time to flash a factory image. After rooting and restoring all my apps the issue reappeared after about 20 min. on the stock rom it was even more severe. Now I uninstalled magisk and flashed the stock init_boot.img file and until now it seems fine.
Can the patched boot image cause the problems described above, or even an unlocked bootloader?

If these problems are caused by bootloader unlocking or rooting stock Android I think the same would've happened to other people by now and it would have been mentioned.
Regarding the bootloader, was GrapheneOS fully erased? In particular its verified boot key.
GrapheneOS CLI install guide
Command-line installation instructions for GrapheneOS, a security and privacy focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.
grapheneos.org
If that's not it, or something similar leftover from Lineage, I think you should forget any modifications long enough to reproduce your problems in the phone's factory state. Just run flash-all.bat (or bash equivalent) and let it wipe, lock the bootloader, install updates and use the phone. Time consuming, I know. But if there are hardware issues one or both problems may show up again and it's less of a mystery.

So far the stock rom without root performs ok, no problems. It just sucks to not have all the customizations I'm used to for the last 10 years...

Maybe try not restoring any apps and see if it still persists.

@elba96
Maybe it's too soon to dismiss Magisk patching as the problem. You might try Magisk stable 25.2 or canary 25206 if you've been patching with one of the newer 26.x releases.
I'm starting to suspect my patched boot image may be the cause of a new problem on a Pixel 5. Either that or it's a new Android bug.
My problem is similar to one of yours: a lost function combined with a disappearing setting. SmartLock hasn't worked right since the April update a couple days ago. When I check its settings all three SmartLock options are gone. Rebooting brings them back and I'm able to get SmartLock working again. The problem seems to repeat when the phone goes idle and locks down.

By now I'm pretty sure it was the patched boot image. Until now (2 days) the stock ROM doesn't show any bugs.
And now that you say it. I used Magisk 26 for the patching as it rolled out right when I was setting up my phone. Should have stayed with v25.x it seems.
I'll give it 1 or 2 days more just to be sure and then I'll try it with Magisk v25.x again.
