No need for overclocking with 12gb ram and the current processor. I have to try really hard for my phone to lag. Every visual and audio app I use on Max settings with enhanced processing on. Besides, they can tell if a device has been rooted or overclocked and just charge the person for a new phone

Galaxies are rootable. Oden and side loaders are my go-to, but even after full root on Note 20 Ultra (not my current, but one I sold vanilla) these things are harder to mod. Like simple mods. They root extras so far into the system that you can't really just separate an app without keeping core functions needed for the phone to operate. There are better ways for them to program. Like separate the integrated parts of Facebook from the app part so you can fully uninstall the app without losing its integrations. It's appalling when I can't uninstall or even disable an app that I don't use, and it's a pain extracting and isolating the integrated segment. Open up the apps again. This is supposed to be an open source platform. They just have to be as stringent as Apple with quality of apps. Look at Galaxy Watch and the quality of apps that it has. I've had mine for 2 years, and there are barely any 2 or 3 star apps. 4 and 5 star non existent. The combination of doing these things and fixing apps and app store quality is what would put Samsung back on top. Material You is pretty cool, but the system is still slowly locking up and app quality on the way down.

You know what? I just miss how Samsung and Galaxy used to be. Real open source. Very tweakable. Scripting isn't a thing like it used to be because even that's automated now. We have less control unless we use an older platform or do the **bleep** from the computer directly. I miss being able to edit a rom right from my phone. True root. I could pull up some pics right now that are on my **bleep** Facebook profile from when I was so proud of a new build. A nightly or nand. Took all the bloatware off myself and freed up so much space and ram and my phone's speed went so far up! I hate being limited, and I'm really hoping this beta revives my love for Android and excitement for new iterations. These guys are just walking on eggshells to be perfect in stead of letting nature take it's course. Remember when PlayStation had a web browser? Yeah PS5 doesn't have a readily accessible browser. It's there, but locked to what Sony is doing to PlayStation what I feel Samsung is doing to Galaxy. Locking it up

I've never been one to complain. The betas always do what I want. I remember even when Windows Vista came out, everyone complained about drivers. Specifically Mbox drivers, Photoshop issues. Never had any of that. I've been and still am ready for the US release. I saw an article saying it's live in the US now. Still haven't seen the option on here yet

Yeah a vanilla version right? Can't find one anywhere, not even on XDA. I'd literally have to rip and build myself, and that's a headache I cannot afford with my hours. I started, and it's just too much with me working 6-7 days a week. Part of my larger frustration

Yeah the problem is that all the stable Android 12 builds framework is just outside of range. Like so many NANDS around it. If I didn't hate programming so much, Id build myself. I had to for Note 5 and it was a pain in the **bleep**. Much more data now, so way more to sort through. Maybe I will get back into it to avoid utter disappointment and resentment for the powers that be

Exactly my point. For a phone that's only slightly older than the S21 for me, this is an outrage. I've been waiting. Gave my Pixl 4a to my kid, which is STILL on Android 12 and I can't even flash a NAND or nightly. Very upset.

Just waiting on the rest of us. Like 3rd 4th wave for us Note 20 users and down. We will probably get beta as it comes out. They'll be like introducing Note 20 Ultra OneUi Fo- you know what? It's been years, let's just release the final version

Nope you're in the boat with us non S21 users until Samsung decides they want to stop hoarding. I believe Fi uses Verizon products like Xfinity does. No beta for you! (Samsung Beta **bleep**)

It does! It really does! Take it from me. I'm not going to tell you to dunk your phone in water, but the ip ratings really do work. Look up rating tests on YouTube!

Because they have a small user base. Phones are way more spread out. They're going to have a boat load of problems when they finally push an official version out and have to do endless patches. I'm just going to dl a copy of the S21 framework and see if I can pull a vanilla ROM

Yeah man I might leave Samsung altogether over this. I was really looking forward to it. I gave my Pixl 4a to my daughter because I just KNEW that Samsung would pull through for me. Trash. They dont produce something by the end of the year, I'm ditching them for good. I'll even go to Apple as a middle finger. I'm that mad. I can't find any nightlies or nands to flash either. Tinkering isnt as fun as it used to be I swear
