!! Server Maintenance Complete !!
Started 3 hours earlier than expected, server maintenance has been finished and all services are now back up.

All services have been moved to CloudFlare which may ensure better access to select territories, as well as faster performance.

It may take a while before your ISP redirects all requests through CloudFlare but it will take less than a day.

A future Fresh and Fresh Hub update will also add a secondary mirror for the update APIs, in the case of ISPs blocking websites domain-level.

Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.
Fresh 3.1.3 Stable (21051301) is now available on Fresh Hub! This update brings device improvements from the initial Fresh 3 release.

Core
- Update Magisk Embedded to v23
- Upstream kernel updates from Samsung
- Various performance improvements
- Fixed status bar cropping on smaller DPIs

System
- Fix font and other setting backup/restore on Samsung Cloud
- Attempt fixing Dolby for Gaming

Camera
- Fixed Slow Motion mode
- Improvements to Document Scan feature

Update notes:
- Kernel update will not be installed for users with Fresh Core Beta installed. Update the kernel manually from Fresh Hub.
- Bixby Voice addon must be updated if installed, to not remove backup-restore fix when uninstalling addon.

Eid Mubarak to all of our Muslim friends! ๐ŸŒŸ

Important Information for Kernel Developers regarding Fresh 3.2.

I'm posting this ahead of its release. :>

Fresh 3.2 will now enable users to use Samsung DeX (wireless, on PC), Samsung's implementation of Desktop Mode for Android.

From testing, it has been shown that its touchpad functionality is done at the kernel level, and requires kernel support for users to be able to use DeX Touchpad.

If you are a kernel developer, it is advised to merge the following patches for touchpad functionality to work:

https://github.com/TenSeventy7/android_kernel_samsung_exynos9610_fresh/commit/a3a846986161defa7afc866f56f598c3ddf75edd

Patches are adapted from the Galaxy Z Fold kernel, which includes display drivers (albeit newer, and with DeX support) also used on the A50.

Thank you.

Are you okay with flashing an addon to be able to use a kernel other than Fresh Core?

Full disclosure on why this is being polled:
So I was somehow able to get Simple LMK, a kernel-based low memory killer, working on One UI 3.1 with a very simple change to the system. This however, requires userspace LMK, the one One UI uses to be disabled completely.

System overhead is one of the major reasons of why I'm doing this. Samsung's Wi-Fi driver cannot handle too much load or it crashes the whole system with it, which has been reported multiple times and I have experienced myself as well. Simple LMK is able to significantly decrease overhead and is able to allow the device to use more RAM for userspace (i.e. apps).

Since I'm certain that other kernels won't implement Simple LMK, largely because it doesn't work on stock One UI ROMs without modifications, this will make Fresh Core the only kernel that will work flawlessly with the ROM.

The addon in question will re-enable userspace LMK, as well as make sure that it will be able to provide adequate performance with your kernel of choice. In this case, installing Fresh Core again will require uninstalling of this addon. Because Android (nor Fresh at this point) has no reliable way of distinguishing between Fresh Core and another kernel, this compromise has to be made.

I honestly want to hear your opinions before I implement this rather major change.
If SafetyNet is failing for you, do NOT panic. Google has released a "fix" that makes Fresh's workaround fail SafetyNet.

https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/issues/78

It's now in my attention and will be worked on immediately.
Thank you for understanding.
As a temporary way to pass SafetyNet for users on the current 3.2.2 stable and beta testers running latest 3.2.27:

1. Install the MagiskHide Props Config module from Magisk and reboot
2. When setting up, select a device that does not have hardware TEE/keystore. Most of these are devices made before 2017-2018.
3. I'm not sure if only changing device fingerprints will work, but if it still won't pass enable Device spoofing as well.

Do note that this makes Galaxy Store and Themes stop working. OTA updates for Fresh will work as usual.

===================

I'm currently formulating a more sustainable way to do this, although it may not arrive in time of 3.2.3's release.
Fresh 3.2.3 stable is now rolling out to all devices starting tonight! This release brings huuuuuuuuuuuuge performance, stability, and security improvements to your device running Fresh.

Highlights include:
- Samsung's August 2021 security updates for the Galaxy A50
- Mint, a new kernel designed for efficiency and stability
- Samsung RAM Plus support is here just a week after Samsung released it on the Galaxy A52s!
- Alleviate device crashes due to Samsung's bad Wi-Fi driver. Random reboots fixed. :>
- Major improvements to memory management, performance, and battery life. Fresh's flagship experience is much smoother and much more enjoyable.
- Updates to some applications to One UI 3.1.1, more to come on Fresh 3.3!

A more "beefy" changelog is available on Fresh Hub! A more comprehensive changelog will be available from the tensevntysevn website once full packages are available.

Update regressions:
- Google SafetyNet will not pass by default on several devices. This is to be fixed by next update.
- Camera app still crashes when selecting ratio on Fun Mode. This is an issue from 3.2.2, and will be fixed very soon.

As this update is currently rolling out, it will be slow to download on your device. Wait for a couple of hours (or a day) until SourceForge mirrors the update to a server near you.

Update. Today!
A minor update... to the update:
I'm currently pulling out the OTA as I haven't merged an important change that may cause addons like Samsung DeX and Dynamic Blur to stop working. OTAs will start rolling out again in an hour or two.

If you have already installed the update, it is advised to uninstall and reinstall these addons to make them work again.
