So as this is my first Samsung phone which seems less "mod" friendly then my previous devices;

I am rooted exynos base s22 on AVG6 as I'm not able to successfully flash newer firmwares.

Can I just flash this with FKM and live happily ever after?
Or are there some prerequisites or things to consider?

Appreciate the work! It's a shame to see the lack of custom development, so thank you!

Thanks for your fast reply.

Just to be sure, when flashing with FKM there is nothing wiped?
If for some reason I would want to go back to stock i need to go through Odin or is stock kernel available somewhere?

If I would find a way to update to AVH9 (or newer) normally the kernel should still be compatible right?

When you flash a kernel, there is no need to wipe the data of your device.

You can get the stock boot.img by downloading the firmware, opening up the AP file in 7-Zip Z-Standard and opening up boot.img.lz4 (you need to use 7-Zip Z-Standard, not the regular 7-Zip, to extract .lz4 files) and taking out the boot.img.
After that, just compress the boot.img into a .tar file and flash that file through the AP slot of Odin.

You can also patch that boot.img with Magisk Manager (on any rooted or non-rooted phone) if you want it to be rooted from the get-go.

Thanks again!

Last question, couldn't I just flash the full (patched) AP file?
This would flash more than just the kernel, but that doesn't really matter right?

Of course, you can flash the whole AP package, I just am not sure if it will then wipe your data.

So far it hasn't, I've been flashing a lot trying to get the latest update installed.
