Just another worthless feature that's broken if you install a custom rom.

No one cares about custom ROMs for a Korea-only model that is clearly targeted at the business sector.

[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemdro.id 2 points 2 months ago

I tend to buy business devices because they often contain less bloat or gimmicky features.

If a custom rom can’t support it, that’s more about the custom rom than Samsung here. They will almost certainly open source the kernel driver part, and any user library could be copied from the stock rom if absolutely necessary. If a rom developer doesn’t want to do that, well that can’t be reasonably pinned on Samsung.

I disagree, if this chip is anything like Knox protection, it will self-destruct if tripped, which is intentional to prevent the rom dev from making use of it.

What is the state of Samsung kernel building? Last time I tried, they met the letter but not the spirit of actually providing usable source code.
