Hi
Many users may knowing, I am supporting ROM development since N02 to N20 and now S22U is replaced Note series, I am planning to buy it but thinking to go with majority users. This time my country going to get SD. Before buying I want to know how majority users getting it (specifically who are interested in root & custom ROM).
Kindly vote If you are interested to ROOT & custom ROM only.
Thinking on sell my Note 10+, on my country we are getting the Exynos version like always

SD in this case means Snapdragon.
It seems this time Snapdragon share will be much more, may needed to support both version which is much diffiult.
For those interested in the Snapdragon variants, you can pre-order on Wondamobile https://www.wondamobile.com/mobile/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s.html (will ship around March 7)
Keep in mind: Samsung Pay most likely won't work in Europe because the variant is meant for another region. I believe they are selling the Chinese variant, not 100 % sure though.
Personally I've never ordered from Wonda before, but I've only heard good things about them, even on this forum.

May I further add Dr. Ketan that us Snapdragon folks haven't had any good choices for the last couple of years and have been watching with envy from afar.... I also think you'll might just enjoy the challenge of tinkering with a different variant
Gett8ng s22u in Italy, so exynos ver. Interested obviously in ketan rom, that i use in pro version in s21 ultra (i was the first contributor for this phone)
Hats off for your continuous effort bringing the best custom rom development to those that need / want it.
Personally I stopped rooting and customizing my devices a while ago but still keen on following development.
Thanks for keeping the spirit alive

Hi,
From France I'll have an Exynos version. I might be interested in your rom.
Looking forward to a variety of custom ROMs for the SnapDragon variant this time (Exynos had it good all these years)
Snapdragon here
Just to share good news guys
S22 bootloader unlock screen I have extracted from S22 ultra and there is no camera disable warning. Cheers!
No idea what is going on. everyone talking India is etting snapdragon this time but when I have extracted CSC file from official S22 ultra firmware, India is included in exynos and there no India CSC there on snapdragon firmware csc
I live in the UK so Exynos. Pre-ordered my phone already. I believe ignoring the Exynos version won't be easy that much since whole EU with get that version and XDA is English speaking forum and I believe most user from EU or english speaking countries.
LOL. Exynos was always supported. You can't stop now. We count on you. And thank you for all these years.
In fact, with USA/ Canada/Australia/ New Zealand and now India - most English-speaking users will be having the Snapdragon variant.
A lot of the EU users don't necessarily speak English, especially central & eastern parts of Europe. Quite a few may import the Snapdragon variant (especially if Exynos variant turns out to be relatively inferior as has been the recent trend).

I am planning to buy the s6, my country has the 920I model. My question is will there be enough rom support for this variant? As I see the 920F is the global variant, and it will get major support from rom developers. Will the 920F roms run on the 920I version too? I read somewhere that the Roms for the F version can be flashed on the I version by modifying the updater script. Most s5 and Note 4 users follow the updater script technique. How safe is it ? Will there be support from roms like (Liquidsmooth, Temasek, Crdroid, Beanstalk, Slim, DirtyUnicorns, Euphoria)? Any input is appreciated
You will find support limited at best. Most developers will not developer for Samsung devices unless they have the Qualcomm chip which we all know the S6 doesn't. So you may get some support but I know almost for sure that DU won't support it.

Lol. I had a s3, exynos chip and DU supported it although I do not like DU. Well, the good thing is that there is no snapdragon variant, so ROM support will be universal. The question is the global version is 920F, and there will be a 920I version in my country. Will the F version roms be install friendly on the I version? I saw the note 4 forums and some people were able to flash roms by changing the updater script.

That was when people trusted Samsung. Once They lied to people about offering the Documentation on the device so roms would work properly people walked away from them.
Will they be universal? No one can say for sure until they start getting the devices. The updater script works but you run a huge risk when doing something like that.

So what if it is year old? The hardware is still good. Heck my 2 devices are 3 and 4 years old.
There are many great developers devices still out there. The newest device is not always the best device. But if your looking for a device that will most likely see lots of development then you could look at the m9.

Naah, not htc. You do have a point, even if it's a year old it is still a good device and reasonably priced almost half that of n6 with double storage capacity. I heard rumors of oneplus two coming this april. I dont know how true those are but looks like opo is the best option to go with right now, it has a lot of rom development going on.

Hey guys, so like many of you ive been waiting for an official release of marshmallow for the galaxy s6, because as anyone who is at least a semi curious photographer knows that the camera api 2 manual controls are completely broken in android lolipop and the stock camera cant do half the setting that camera api 2 offers....
Anyways ive been reading that the camera api 2 in android M has been fixed and even the stock camera ap has got new manual settings which is the main reason i am so interested in android M.
However.... I see that Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and UK which are all around Portugal got the update and yet Portugal (which is 1 of the most advanced countries in the world internet wise speaking) is still waiting for how many more weeks?
What kind of parameters are used to choose the Country update priority?
Best Regards.
Nobody knows priority or parameters that samsung uses ...
For s6 i guess france and vodafone providers have priority...
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
They cant really be that random because since the days of Galaxy S2, Portugal has got the middle finger in the update priority, i was hoping that would change with Galaxy S6 but apparently it didnt....
It's really bad, the update policy of Samsung. How random can you be? Country for country, why not whole Europe at once
Join the club. I've not seen any MM update here in Norway either.
Because they take isocell on first priority lol

Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is already displayed in Portugal at the typical stores for a few days already, with the price of 999€ (1000€) for the gold galaxy s7 128GB, that proves that Portugal isnt insignificant for Samsung.
Maybe they confused software update with hardware update and instead of releasing us Marshmallow for Galaxy S6 they released Galaxy S7
still waiting on EE UK also

Lol i guess times changed, back in the days having an unlocked phone meant that we were the first to get the updates and carriers would either follow the boat or simply refuse to do so.
Now it semms that there might be some dirty tactics of time exclusivity, as in, Carriers like Vodafone paying up for beying the first to release a new version of the software so everyone who dont want to wait long might consider in the future to choose Vodafone instead of a carrier free phone, i dont find that surprising if true... because it makes 0 sense for a brand to release an update sooner than unbranded, since Samsung provides the software already ready to compile and ready to run and Vodafone has to waste extra time to add their junk in the phones.
Do consumers care that much about updates delayed for a few weeks to sway their buying decision towards buying from a network carrier rather than unlocked? I mean, we in this forum surely care about that kind of thing, but Average Joe out there, I don't know

I think its safe to say that it will have the opposite effect, instead of wanting the newest galaxy model they will simply feel betrayed and move on to another brand alltogether, then give bad reviews to that Corporation for their friends, collegues and possibly even on the internet if some are geek enough.
Look at Rise of Tomb raider, Microsoft paid millions to have that game exclusive to XboxOne and yet everyone boycotted the crap out of that game because of such dirty tactic.
But greedy companies will never get it, they will always try it again and again to boost their sales, even if it actually hurts them instead.

There is no update for unbranded Hungarian firmawares.

Samu is just starting releasing for t-mobile also, BUT WHY NOT for THE UNBRANDED ONES are the first?
that take less work than customize operator releated Firmwares...
I bought an unbranded because of faster updates......
ps: I have got the 6.0.1 upate today ( XEH)
Because most other nations on the planet also haven't received the update.

I'm interested in buying this phone, and I've already noticed that exynos version is more supported by devs here and in overall it's better. But my problem is, what is the codenumber of the exynos version, not sure if I call it properly but I'm talking about this SM - T310 thing for example. I just couldn't find it anywhere... And my question is which one is for which phone, or if it's country specified, then can someone tell me how can I get the better version?
Sm-g930f is international, sm-g930w8 is canadian exynos.
Sm-g930a 930t 930v 930s 930u is att/tmo/verizon/sprint/carrier unlocked snapdragon.

I bought my exynos S7 from them. Very reputable, fast delivery and excellent price. I would not recommend getting the snapdragon. The root for it is very buggy and there is no support from developers because the bootloader is locked and will likely never be unlocked. I have my S7 rooted with VoLTE, WiFi calling and unlimited tether. To answer your question, it's the SM-G930F. The G935F is the S7 Edge.

I own the exynos and it has root and comes with an unlocked bootloader but the roms for the exynos aren't that great because all of the devs are bored with with exynos and their sh*t because it's very hard to develop things for exynos Samsung are very closed with the code, and the snapdragon comes with a locked bootloader, but if it ever does get unlocked the Roms for it will be very nice and not just a modified TouchWiz. If you plan on instantly rooting then get the exynos, but there aren't any stable AOSP Roms for it and probably never will.

I respectfully disagree Sir. You are correct that there has been very little support as far as roms go, however that is due to Samsung holding onto the source for the kernel. It has just been released within the last couple months. I guess is comes down to opinion partially. I love the S7 because it's hardware is superior to that of other devices and TouchWiz is actually very nice imho. Also, I can't live without SD card. >_< I would buy a OnePlus or Pixel if they had SD card.

I guess that the fact that I hate TouchWiz makes me disagree and there are no good stable Roms and like you said there is Lineage and also there's Resurucction Remix but last time I checked out the Ressurction Remix even the camera doesn't work and Lineage is also before even an alpha stage from what I know the rom doesn't even have download links yet.
Exynos is proven to be a better chip over snapdragon

Ok so an international unlocked version? Is there any downfalls to the exynos processor or that version?
You don't particularly need an exynos version to be rooted. I've got the SM-S908E/DS version which is the international Snapdragon variant. I got lucky because we've only had exynos versions in Saudi Arabia for years. And I actually thought I had the exynos 2200 when I bought mine.
I've achieved root through patching the AP file from the original firmware using magisk. https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s22-ultra-via-magisk-patched-ap/
You also should check Dr ketans thread as you might find a pre patched AP file that matches your build.

You might want to browse some more, there are quite some threads on the issues reported on Exynos devices.
About rooting, I believe the US versions (U/U1) cannot have their boot loader unlocked which results in devices not being able to be rooted.
Yes, reading I do not think I would go with the exynos version. If you are in the US, you need to be aware of the bands it covers too.
I don’t even know where I should look for one that I can root. It’s so confusing compared where I’m coming from having a jailbroken iPhone. So I’m new to the android scene and wanna learn.

Yes I am, t-mobile.
May I ask what your reason for needing root? The US SD variant works real good out of the box. You can disable or hide most apps on the phone. Those that you cannot disable, you can use ADB AppControl to disable without having root.
Also, if you root and remove apps or load a custom rom, you can (probably will) loose the ability to update the OS. You will have to rely on the developer of the ROM you installed to update his ROM with the new updates. One other thing is if you root you will loose knox and it is not recoverable. Without knox you will loose the ability to use the health and pay services.
Just saying.

I need to be rooted to spoof Pokèmon go, plus I enjoy the freedom of a rooted phone. I have a rooted google pixel 4 xl that I bought off eBay that I spoof with. I like the rooted android better then my jailbroken iPhone. So I just want a rooted android as my primary phone now. Plus I want something similar to my iPhone 13 pro max.
Fair enough. I did edit my post, so you may want to see what else I said. There are pluses and minuses to rooting. Samsung and the carriers are making it harder and harder to root the Samsung (US version) devices. Also, for most loosing knox is a big deal.
