Hi,
I'm currently using a Magisk patched stock ROM for my G-973F with encryption enabled.
Is there any custom ROM that supports root and encryption (don't care if Samsung or AOSP, if FBE or FDE) while fully supporting the cameras?
It would be ideal if I can use TWRP with it.
Of course, it should ship updates regularly.
There are plenty of ROMs that have many features, but most of them don't mention encryption.
I hope someone can help me, or tell me if there isn't such a ROM.

Would it be possible for someone to package the stock T-Mobile US kernel (for the latest OTA 5.14.531.1 ROM) with the System Write Protection disabled (for flashing with TWRP)? This is the 4.4.2/Sense6.0 ROM. I run the stock ROM but have been trying other kernels with varying success. While they offer more features, they're just not as stable and I'd like to go back to the stock kernel but don't want to deal with the RO issue.
Quick question, I'm seeing the few ROM's available to DL and flash now all have decryption built in do you think there will be any ROM'S that devs might develop that have same encryption as stock or am I inevitably going to have to decrypt? Thanks!
Some of the roms give you the option to be encrypted or decrypted, it is not forced upon you. Its based on the kernel that you're using so you'll have to look into them.

The roms have encryption but is not enforced. If your encrypted you'll stay encrypted. If your decrypted you'll stay that way.... If you want to encrypt just simply format your data and you will encrypt upon boot
The Pure Shamu ROM for example, I'm still encrypted just like stock and when I flashed it I was required to enter a password yet the dev states the ROM comes with stock kernel - I guess I'm confused w/ this whole encryption scenario..
I need to get something straight, as I didn't quite get it. So the options for someone who'd like to root his S10 are 3:
1) Rooting with Topjohnwu method: This will get you root on the stock rom, but will keep the default recovery which is pretty much useless if one wanted to flash a custom rom.
2) Rooting with a prepatched version of TWRP and then, if desired, flash any custom rom (compatible with the TWRP version installed). This method is said to be less stable that the previous one.
3) Install TWRP after rooting with john wu method and then using it to flash custom rom.
First of all, is all this correct?
If so, then one has to choose between rooting safely, but keeping his phone stock, or rooting and then installing twrp and then flash whatever he desires.
Hopefully, somebody will be so kind to clarify this that is an unusually complicated situation about rooting this phone! I already regret passing my perfectly rooted S9 to my son
Thanks for whatever help you'll be willing to provide.
Cheers
I would say you summoned it up nicely.
The advantage of stock Magisk root is you can e.g. use Substratum, Magisk modules and update monthly security releases by yourself but, of course, no Custom ROMs.
The advantage of TWRP Magisk root is clearly the Custom ROM possibility but here you cannot update the monthly security releases by yourself and are dependent on the ROM creator to release the security updates.
I had been using Topjohnwu Magisk root on stock rom since released mainly to use Substratum/ some Magisk Modules and did the AP-patching everytime the monthly security was released.
However, doing the November security AP-patching something went wrong and I ended in boot-loop. So thought, as I had to reflash anyway I would try TWRP/ Custom ROM - I went with yash92Duster's lightrom / geiti94's magisk TWRP both which I find very stable.

One more doubt, if I may ask : once rooted the safe way, if I wanted to install twrp I would need to find the build that is compatible with the already patched firmware on my phone? And then only the roms that are exactly for the same build?
This is the most complicated rooting process that I have ever faced. And I've been rooting my phones and tablets since a very long time
Thanks
Okay, I tried to install EAS kernel (from Gabriel), which reportedly have better battery backup. But trying to install it on Lineage 16.0, Lineage 15.1, AOSP Extended 6.7 (Pie) resulted in encryption unsuccessful error on boot. Somebody pointed out that EAS does not support encrypted rom. Which I agree with, whatever that means cause he failed to elaborate on this?
My question,
Which rom should I use in order for this to succeed?
If I want to be on lineage OS, is it still possible to use an EAS kernel? What might be the steps for that?
Is this something to do with recovery? I am using orangefox 10.1 based on TWRP 3.3.1?
Note: when I install a ROM the end messages are:
DM-Verify is not enabled.
Forced encryption is not enabled.
Thanks in Advance
so i was modding my 4x and wanted to install magisk over a12 pixel experience with .zip method, which bricked rom so i installed miui back. now something happened after installing magisk that way and wifi doesn't work in miui anymore, and i found out it was deprecated after the fact (my bad). how can i fix it? i have twrp and i don't care about wiping everything (not my main and no important data). current rom is latest miui global (11 NAMMIXM) with dm verity fix.
