[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
Considering that at similar price, the Sandisks are half the capacity compared to Samsung, it is more about does one need more performance or more capacity. Only you can answer that for your case. (Note, while Samsung got some lower results, the cards should still e.g. support 4K recording etc., depending on frame rates and quality, of course.)

I think that those are all correct ones; item codes match (shown lower in the page) and sold by Amazon itself... usually safe.

Also, as per my recommendations, considering these instead (non-Pro/Plus):

Sandisk Extreme 128GB, £28.32:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-microSDXC-Adapter-Performance/dp/B07FCMKK5X/

Sandisk Extreme 256GB, £60.99:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-microSDXC-Adapter-Performance/dp/B07FCR3316/

And for comparison, Kingston Canvas React 256GB, 62.99 EUR (cheaper on .de than on .co.uk):

https://www.amazon.de/Kingston-SDCR-256GB-Class-Speicherkarte/dp/B07FRJB84J/

And the Samsung Evo Plus 256GB with adapter from .de, 40.03 EUR (cheaper than on .co.uk):

https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Micro-256GB-Speicherkarte-Adapter/dp/B06XFS5657/

Sandisk Ultra 256GB (a bit slower writes, faster reads), 39.99 EUR (cheaper than on co.uk):

https://www.amazon.de/SanDisk-Ultra-microSDXC-Speicherkarte-Adapter/dp/B0758NHWS8/

Between those choices, Samsung is still on the cheap side, so, Samsung may finally be with a decent price (for its performance).

"A few moments later..."

I finally updated the firmware to the latest (CSI3) and retested the largest cards. Basically no changes from the original/oldest values with any of them, so I didn't test the rest. At least the results aren't getting slower, which I was afraid of as Note 10 plus does get slower results than Note 9.

I think these will be the last tests I do on the Note 9; the phone will be demoted to dev/testing and video recording (as it has the 3.5mm for an external mic).

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] KaaMyA:
You can also delete Google Play Services cache, this works pretty well in those cases. Even if you have problems trying to download a device system update.

Even it's data (in this case you'll have to add an account for Google's data backup again).

However, keep in mind this kind of processes won't work well if you have enabled apps, device features or Magisk modules that force device to save battery in some way.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Ontkebong:
Done that. Didn't work for me sadly.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] KaaMyA:
Would be good to tell us which system you've installed.

Any custom ROM? Are you in stock?

On the first case, check ROM installation.

If it came with gapps preinstalled, better flash an updated version of that ROM (clean or dirty would change, depending of Android major verion in which that update is based), otherwise flash another gapps, I use OpenGapps.Try to flash, at least, nano gapps.

If you're on stock, things are quite different, since there you haven't the same way so solve things, more than than reflashing firmware.

I clicked on a link in the stock email app to thank an Amazon customer, and I got the attached.. I was hoping it would show Chrome and Samsung Internet as option. Not sure what happened here. Originally I thought perhaps my device unlocked note 9 had chrome preinstalled but even so I cannot find my own restored copy to delete.

ModelL SM-G930P

Software version: G930PVPU7CRG3
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
G930P is snapdragon with a locked bootloader (as are all other US models), bootloader lock prevents modifications to the boot partition, so you can't flash TWRP on it.

Please note that factory unlock / carrier unlock is not the same thing as bootloader unlock, even if this device is carrier unlocked, it will forever be bootloader locked.

You need a G930F/FD/W8/K with Exynos which allows bootloader unlock, which isn't sold in the US.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] XtreMe_G:
wow......all that writing and all you are suggesting that cooks put out some clean roms? arent those already available?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] micgrob:
lmfao flash your own clean rom, flash your own choice of radio, tweak on your own, etc...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Do you ever contribute anything worthwhile to threads or do you just prefer to be a sarcastic jerk?

I realize there are some clean ROMs out there...that wasn't the full scope of the post.

The "clean" ROMs are indeed what I would prefer, however that leaves the user going around hunting for all the applications and additions they desire. (And don't use the argument that the user is lazy if they don't spend the time to do this...after all that is what the "cooked" roms allow the user to be...lazy).

The alternative is the loaded ROM which has everything chosen by the cook. The user can't uninstall a component he may not want, or if it causes conflicts with something else.

The middle ground is what I am advocating...a clean ROM but offered with either "built-in" cabs or a separate repository. This would allow the user to install what they wanted (or install it all...then removing what they don't find useful). This would also allow easier updates in between major cooked releases.

I am not stating one way is definitively better, just that at some point someone decided to cook it all in rather then just offer the cab files, and I am looking for the advantage over my alternative.

What would even be nice (and if I knew how to code for PPC I would look to do it!) would be a little menu app that could manage installs from a repository either on your SD card or even online! So you could browse a list of available apps, versions, and descriptions and load it right up. These repositories would then be what the cooks spent time compiling, even offering "Suites" of applications that complement each other well.

As I stated in my original post I am very thankful for the work that others have contributed here and am not belittling their accomplishments in any way. I am just trying to understand how and why things have evolved to their current situation since, if I were to have the time and knowledge I see my framework as more workable (IMHO).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Confused Stu:
My personal opinion

That's one of the best presented arguments I've seen in a while Bengalih. :)

Completely agree with all your reasons for preferring a clean ROM over a loaded one - particularly the ability to update applications as and when a new cab is released. While this is the best answer for you (as you state) and in all probability every person with the willingness to go and look for the latest version of everything, I personally still prefer the loaded ROM. I simply prefer the least amount of time between a Hard Reset and being fully back up and running - in my case as long as it takes me to type in my Exchange server details. I try to cook in applications without any bugs that do what I want, so I won't need that newer version (just want it) and if a newer version does come out I can easily bake it into another ROM and be back up and running from start to finish within half an hour (mostly).

While you're completely correct in everything you say - I'm one of the fundamentally lazy people (seriously, check out my ROM's v1.3 intro - that's the word I use to describe why I built it) and so I tend to prefer loaded ROMs.

:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thomassster:
the way i see it, we cook a rom to have our ideal base. Things where we meet the minimum. The minimum for me must have HTC home, office, tomtom, the games that I always play, which is a whole variety, pim backup, and battery status. When I have my clean base, I just add my packages, which doesn't even take me long at all. If something screws up, we flash our cooked rom, and we don't have to worry about flashing a clean base and adding all our cabs. My roms include a lot of apps, but thats what I expect from my base. Having cabs doesn't seem as clean. I see your point, but cooking your own rom, you don't feel like trying anyone elses roms because the rom is exactly the way you want it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Thanks for your reply Stu...a perfect example of how one can disagree with an opinion while being completely civil. It seems many other members of this forum can learn from your example.

I'm still not 100% sure I agree with the time you save by having everything cooked in. As you admit, if you want to upgrade an app you would basically cook a fresh ROM with the new package in it and take up to 30 mins. To be honest I would think that you could load ALL your cabs in well under 30 minutes (the first time) and then it takes about 1 minute to upgrade a cab if a new version comes out.

Of course it depends on how often you do each. If you really find yourself reloading your ROM alot...let's say once a week, you might have saved yourself 10-20 mins each time since you don't need to load CABs. However if you instead wanted to upgrade 4 apps, you have saved yourself 30 mins each time from having to recook the ROM.

I guess another thing I don't understand about the argument for the fully loaded ROM is how often are you really re-flashing your ROM? While I understand someone may do this frequently if they are testing ROMs, how often do you really need to re-flash your ROM once it is running with the apps you like (and/or cooked in)?

Also, I believe your opinion is slanted (and not in a bad way) because you obviously cook your own ROMs. Because of this you can customize it the way you want since you have total control. Some of the cooks on here seem to be people like you who then just turn over their ROM for others to use, while other cooks seem to be making ROMs to please the population. Not saying either is a bad thing...just what I notice.

I haven't cooked my own ROM yet (though I have read through the tutorials). I believe however that even after I have decided on everything I want that I won't cook a loaded ROM (if i cook one at all). I would prefer to just put all the CABs i use in a directory and if i ever rebuild just load them all back on, or possibly create a UC script to load them all off my storage card.

Although I still don't really see the advantage of the fully loaded ROM (unless of course you tend to A) reflash your ROM frequently (for what reason?) and B) Tend to not want to upgrade CABs frequently)... to each his own.

thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
It's funny you say that thomas... because i feel opposite. I feel that with the cooked ROMs it seems that many things just get dumped into the Windows directory instead of being put into individual Program folders. In addition, with no uninstall option it gives me a non-clean feeling :)

I see your point of course on just building the base the way you want and it makes sense if you don't feel you will want to upgrade an individual component.

I guess I am generally they type that like to go and get the newest version of an app if it is available and would find the process quicker if i could just upgrade the CAB.

Also, as stated above, once I find a config I like I don't know why I would reflash my ROM on any type of frequent basis.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
There are additional reasons why certain applications cooked into ROMs aren't always your best alternative.

This is when certain applications (e.g., TomTom, MobiTV & XMRadio) require specific directories for installation. If cooked into the ROM, it will occupy twice the amount of space, since all files are placed in \Windows and through initflashfiles.dat get copied to other locations (e.g., \Program Files\MobiTV). Chefs that know about this avoid cooking these apps into their ROMs.

As for ROMs & which way is better, it's a matter of personal taste. Some folks prefer different levels of clean, and others prefer different levels of full. Some people won't flash unless a cube is included. It's pretty much why I release 8 different versions...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Thanks _Alex_,

Yes that speaks to my point to a degree.

It seems that most cooks don't use INITFLASHFILES.TXT to move applications to a specific directory (under \Program Files) and just let everything sit in \Windows. I was under the impression that INITFLASHFILES could MOVE the files and not just COPY, so thanks for clearing that up. Would it not be possible to execute some sort of script to delete the unnecessary files from Windows and add reg entries to allow programs to be listed in add/remove? Of course this would be additional work for the cook but would really provide the best of both worlds.

I realize you have alot of time and experience invested in your methods (which we all appreciate). But, it would seem to me that instead of cooking 8 ROMs you could cook a base and then offer CAB installation suites as I mention. With either a custom menu install app like I suggest, or UC scripts the process can be automated.

I am not necessarily suggesting that you change how you do things (since you do it so well (:D), but I just throw this idea out there in case any experienced cooks, or even newcomers agree with my method they are welcome to give it a try.

thanks for your input
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
The method you describe has been mentioned before in other threads and quite possibly in its own thread. (The topic was UC packs, CAB packs or something like that)

There are three cons with that method:

Which cabs to include are subjective, so it's much easier for an individual to gather his/her own cabs

Creating CABs can be a serious pain in the ass, especially if you have 50 OEM packages that need converting and/or fixing for the specific ROM you're building

Cross ROM / device support, which frequently occurs when CABs are released.

On the other hand, with a cooked ROM, you know it works because the chef ( andhis beta tester(s) ) spent the time to test it on the same/similar device and on a specific OS build. ROMs give a better experience overall because of this testing.

FWIW, I've thought about doing what you mention above waaay back with my first UltraClean ROM, but as stated, serious PITA :D

*SHRUG* Perhaps I'll re-consider it in the future too...

edit: Alltheway used to offer UC packs. Not sure if he still does on his 4shared folder...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sherpa:
I have, personally, always preferred a clean ROM. Yes, it takes some time to set it up the way you want it but, at least, that way, I am not stuck with applications I do not use. If I were to cook a ROM, I would cook it the way I want it and then distribute it. Most cooks here do just that. I would be happy if every cooks released a clean ROM but that is not possible. If cooking ROMs were a full-time job for these cooks, then, I would definitely demand one. So, the way I feel it, if I am lazy or not good enough to cook my own ROMs then I should stick with what has been released and not complain.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
@ sherpa:

Perhaps you should go back and re-read my posts. Not once did I "demand" or "complain" about anything that any cook has put out. In fact more than once did I thank and compliment them on all their work. The fact that you state you would "

demand

" a ROM a certain way if this was the cook's full time job show that it is you more than I who feel that they are, or might be, owed something from these contributors. I fully realize that many cooks are just putting out their own personal ROMs to the masses, but there are plenty of them out there that are also looking to please the community and offer something different. It was to these people that I thought my message might resonate and someone might want to try something like it. As _Alex_ suggested others have thought similarly at somepoint (including himself), so I am not alone in my thoughts. So before you accuse me of complaining, you should re-examine my own words and yours.

@_Alex_

Thanks for the thoughts. I see all the points you are making. However I would argue that point #1 and #3 happen whichever method you choose. A cook is subjective when choosing which CABs to add to a loaded ROM as well. In addition, a single ROM is also device dependent whether it is fully loaded or not. I feel your pain on point #2 about creating CABs... you helped me out in another thread as I created a CAB of the latest Remote Desktop client (with drive mapping support) from the latest AT&T test ROM. I agree that for the cook that would be an extra effort although in many cases most of the CABs are already out there.

Again, I am making a recommendation as to a new (or old?) way to approach this. It sounds like it would be good for the user, but more work for the cook. Of course the current methods are well established, so even if my idea has merits it would most likely encounter some resistance (and as seen already by some, accusations and ignorance.) I still like the idea of an online (or off) repository with a little front-end on the device. The repository can be loaded with approved CABs which can be loaded and unloaded off the device.

In the long run, I don't think it will matter much for me individually, as I will most likely use an available clean build, an RTM ROM, or maybe cook my own. But in any case, I will stick with CABs, and just hope that the ones i need are available or I am able to create them myself (which is exactly what I did for Remote Desktop).

thx!

ok bro bengalish

you are just quiet right , i understand your point and i also think that thought cookers make a great work to interduce a room that is useful for everyone but it still better to get a clean room and that's because a simple reason , you will never be able to make everyone happy because simply everyone of us has his owen taste :D

but i would like to describe what a clean room means ..

i belive it should contain main updates that everyone will need i mean updates like camera , sound and system etc..

i have to thank you for this rich argue and much greeting for you

and i hope really everyone in this forum can show little respect and kindness for the others
