[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] black.kahder:
I did some testing with my device. I think I rebooted about 50 times in total.

My first observation was that I didn't see this "Phone is starting..." error before I loaded most of my apps and data. When I had a small number of apps and things installed on the phone, I never saw this issue. This included having Magisk and gapps installed.

However, I wonder if this is just hiding the problem and we have some kind of race being exposed when more apps are installed.

Once I loaded my apps and tools I am getting this error somewhere in 30-50% of all boots. The problem is intermittent with no obvious pattern.

I tried removing Nova Launcher to see if the problem would persist, and it did, so I do not think it is specific to custom launchers.

Next I collected dmesg and logcat output from both successful and unsuccessful boots and compared them in a diff tool. These files are available to a dev upon request. Sadly I didn't see anything that was obvious to me, except for one group of warnings and an error not seen in a good boot:

W/DirectBootExitBR( 2946): User is in direct boot mode.
W/DynamiteModule( 2946): Local module descriptor class for providerinstaller not found.
W/ProviderHelper( 2946): Unknown dynamite feature providerinstaller
W/ProviderInstaller( 2946): Failed to load providerinstaller module: No acceptable module found. Local version is 0 and remote version is 0.
W/Primes ( 2946): Primes not initialized, returning default (no-op) Primes instance which will ignore all calls. Please call Primes.initialize(...) before using any Primes API.

E/ActivityThread( 2946): Failed to find provider info for com.google.android.gsf.gservices
W/WindowManager( 1353): App freeze timeout expired.

I have no idea what I am doing.

I have format data and clean flaash many times and I had flashed only ROM and gapps many times no Magisk no Nova not a single app still I am getting phone is starting issue. I tried to google it too, no specific solution anywhere. It's only happen when you unlock device on boot with FP, if u unlock device with PIN it's normal. One of my favourite dev Mr. Mukesh helped me a lot with verious build but unfortunatly issue still persist.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] m1tch3m:
There is a fix that you.can flash in recovery to resolve the issue.

It takes parts of the LiveDisplay features that cause this issue. Since I flashed it I haven't experienced the Phone is Starting issue at all.

Can be found on CrDroid ROM thread. OP posted it there.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dirk:
Please read my post about the efficacy of that particular fix in future:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79954042&postcount=2074

With any luck we'll see a native fix soon.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dirk:
Here is the PIS fix with the updated and improved script (courtesy of 2Tweak). I'm using it on the latest crDroid, (which as i mentioned in a previous post has made changes to the manifest.xml. Changes that make the old fix unsafe to use on that ROM now).

This zip is good to use on any LOS/Based ROM for the OP5/T that uses the LOS Livedisplay implementation. There is no backup of the files so to undo the changes just flash your ROM again.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Franz Jakob Tim:
Is Livedisplay still work after flash or will it get disabled? Because i'm using it
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dirk:
Here's a screenshot of what remains. Calibration looks like 'Standard' as default to me.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Franz Jakob Tim:
Thank you, but I will more precise: I use "only night mode" as display mode, which is disabled on your screenshot. Will this work after flashing the file?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Dirk:
Yes. Just tried it and it works. Looks like 'Display mode' is unaffected.

[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] mavistal:
Hi,

I initially installed update 15.1630.1902.90 to my phone and after that it ruined the perspective control of my ROG while using the mobile desktop dock. I tried installing the previous version via sideload but to no avail.

Can anyone share the step by step on how to install stock ROM to our phone? or downgrade from the previous version of the firmware?

Thank you.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] Duncan1982:
Just place the firmware in the Root Directory of your phone & reboot, this is given that your not rooted & have a locked bootloader.
[Asus ROG Phone Questions & Answers] mavistal:
I tried this but nothing happens. My device is not rooted.

Thank you.

Root Samsung Galxy S10 plus using Magisk canary

Here is a detailed guide on How to Root Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10e using Magisk canary. Do remember that Samsung has introduced "Vaultkeeper" feature which makes it a little different to root latest Samsung devices.

Who would want to root a device like this!? And why?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Cyberhamxa:
Samsung has made these steps complicated so that only the most enthusiastic people would want to try rooting.

Android manufacturers are starting to follow the footsteps of Apple. They are also not wanting people to mess with their devices. Huawei has also stopped providing unlock codes for their smartphones.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] sam20e:
not sure why exactly you want to root s10+.

you can customize this device 100% and also block all those bloatwares without rooting.. so think again :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
There are many reasons to want to root a device which include systemwide add blocking, Titanium backup, uninstalling rather than disabling bloatware, etc. Perhaps this way of thinking of the reason for why the majority of new Pixel 3Xl buyers came from Samsung devices. https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-3-churn-report-974588/

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] sam20e:
well, im a user who used to root every single samsung device. but i never root my s10. i managed to block ALL my ads using adguard. Why would i need Titanium backup when i can use package disabler and do the same thing (oh and by the way i still have a Pro titanium key and i love that app). i dont see a big difference between disabling bloatwares and uninstalling them. as long as they are not coming up im ok with that.

Try and search the disadvantages of rooting. Last time yes, you need to root your device to customize but now without root you can use your phone with all those so called unlocked features. just FYI my battery last for 26hours+ with 7-8 hours SOT.

Just my 2cents :)

happy rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] GDane1:
This is only for the international S10 plus right? Thanks In advance!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
First, Adguard is NOT a systemwide blocker of adds. Second, some people like me, do not want any adds period. Third, Package disabler cannot backup app content like Titanium can. It only allows you to disable the app, which means these apps still take room in your phone.

First, Adguard is NOT a systemwide blocker of adds, which means you can and will still see adds. Second, some people like me, do not want any adds period, so the only way is through root. Third, Package disabler cannot backup app content like Titanium can. It only allows you to disable the app, which means these apps still take room in your phone. In addition, there are certain levels of customization which can only be optained through rooting ex.. 3minit battery, etc... .And while your may get great battery life, it could be even better if you could tweak your kernel with FK Kernel manager. Yes, I agree root is less of a necessity today than it was years ago. However, for some, it is essential and a choice they don't wish to relinquish to OEMs. Yes, there are genuine dangers to rooting. But it is a choice each individual should make for themselves, not one made by the OEM. Just, my 2 cents.

wouldn't root a phone when using samsung pay and pass.

used to do titanium backup and remove unused apps but when system update comes, i couldn't restore them to original condition and thus no way to update.

not taking the flash update route.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] sam20e:
I do know Adguard is not a Systemwide blocker. But it does a very good job blocking ads which is exactly what i want. To me the end result is what matters.

Do you think only titanium can backup your apps data? there are so many apps which can do this without rooting your phone. And im surprised you're talking about your phone space. You do know that s10+ is a high end phone which has a 128GB inbuilt and can extend that to another 512 GB if im not mistaken right? system apps/bloatwares wont even take a GB of your phones space.

> And while your may get great battery life, it could be even better if you could tweak your kernel with FK Kernel manager.

I do not wish to make it even better. because i've already tweaked this to the max and whats the point tweaking some more? when you have a powerful phone. Also only a small % of people do these kind of kernel changes.

battery mod all just a reason you tell yourself just coz you wanted to root your phone. Surely you can find an alternate method.

Anyways if anyone ask me about rooting s10 variants i will say dont. warranty gone, samsung pay - gone (one of the best payment method), updates need to do it manually.. some of the secure payment / banking apps wont work.

Well but i do agree with you on one thing. It's individual preference. If i decided to root i will defend my choice by talking about all those advantages. And if i choose not to root i will be talking about the disadvantages lol.

But really now a days rooting a powerful device doesnt make any sense at all - at least to an average user. im really enjoying my s10+ with nova launcher+good look customization+KWGT widgets+package disabler+adguard. It's almost like a rooted device for me now :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] jemfalor:
some additional features are just a step away without rooting. simply setup adb on your pc, connect your phone with usb debugging and send some adb commands to allow WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS, CHANGE_CONFIGURATION, DUMP, depending on the app requirements.

for my use case, i had tasker and secure settings app.

on landscape orientation, it would automatically change input method to minuum (low profile keyboard). used to be using multiling though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
To my knowledge, Titanium IS the best and only app thst can backup APK content fully, quickly and effectively. If you knows if another app that can backup APK data without root effectively please share. I would love to try it. There are thousands of apps that will backup you APKs, but none will backup their data. I have tried too many to only be disappointed at the end. If Google was able to do this effectively, I would surely stop rooting phones.

Not everyone needs a Terrabyte of capacity in their phone. It's a phone, for God's sake. I keep tens of thousands of pics and videos on mine, and still have plenty of room left; and because it's a Pixel, they are also saved in their original resolution on the cloud and are synced and available on any and all devices I log into. I also have over 230 apps installed and have plenty of room left. I won't argue that it's nicer to have more space than not, but IMO, it's not necessary for most people. It's mostly a strategy to keep getting people to buy a newer model with more this or that. Sure, a Pentabyte of space would be even better to have but I will never need it on my phones.

BTW never met anyone before who said they "didn't have a need for a better battery life on their phone". Given a chance, I think most people would tweak it to improve it.You must be pretty lucky with your phone. I've already seen forums about the battery life on the S10+ and how to make it better. The one one battery optimization is already 35 pages long! Either you are a light user, or you got very lucky with your phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] sam20e:
To your very own knowledge you say Titanium is the best, ok fine. thats perfectly fine. Because there was this one time i was so obsessed with Titanium and that app was the 1st app i will ever install soon after rooting my device.

Reg backing up data, i do agree, that is a challenge. without rooting its difficult, but its NOT impossible. i transferred all my s9+ apps/data to s10+ without any issues. You know how? nowadays 90% apps have inbuilt backup solution. So you can easily backup your data to cloud etc. That way you can restore them without any issue. The only app data i had to redo - Duo security.

Yes, I do agree, no one ever need terabyte of capacity. I only have 256GB and I also have thousands of photos/videos. Why do you need to save tens of thousands of pics and videos in your mobile? it's a phone, for gods sake. You do know that you can backup to cloud and remove those photos. That way you can save space. So if you have enough space, why you're bothered about "disabled" apps vs uninstalled apps?

Do you know why i said "didn't have a need for a better battery life on their phone"? I'm a s10+ user. S10+ is a very very powerful phone with a very good battery capacity/hardware etc. I'm not a light user. People having issues with s10+ battery coz they dunno how to tweak their device. Just because there are 1001 tips to save battery, its not necessary to do them all. For example, people say reduce brightness, reduce the resolution, screen type etc. Whats the point doing all those things when you own a powerful, expensive phone? You MUST use some of those nice features without thinking much about battery usage. That's why i said I'm against doing every single things to save even 0.1% battery. I will only do reasonable tweaks and if my phone can give me 24hr + battery life then im more than happy.

Do you know that a lot of people dont use android Facebook app coz they all think it will drain the battery etc? i know that, but im still using FB, instagram etc etc. May be like you said you've never met a person who said i tweaked enough. But I've met them :)

I really respect all XDA devs. I still have 2 S7 devices with CF root + titanium backup etc etc. So its not that i dont like rooting. What im trying to tell you is, its not necessary to root. If you weigh the advantages / disadvantages, I only can see very few disadvantages.

You have no idea how many power hungry apps I have. I just know how to tweak them, block background access, block data access, use proper firewall etc. etc.

I'm not gonna argue with you whether rooting is good or not. Coz like i said, you have a fixed mindset that rooting is the only way. For that only im replying telling thats not the only way. Anyways, I have nothing against you. You root your device or dont root your device that got nothing to do with me. I'm just sharing that by rooting you gonna loose quite a lot of good features/apps + warranty. Last time we all had to take that risk (including me) because we literally had no choice. Now it's not like that.

Good luck, and for those who wish to root your s10+, please think again. That's all i can tell.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
Not sure why you think you loose functionality or features when you root all devices. I have root installed on my Pixel 3 XL and EVERY app works due to using Magisk Hide. I can even use Google Pay and Samsung Pay on my Samsung watch connected to my Pixel. Both of my bank apps (Chase and Credit Union) work perfectly fine and do not detect root. Perhaps that's the case on a Samsung device because you trip Knox. But other device owners do not have this abomination shoved down their throats. . Not all devices loose warranty by rooting or loose functionality either. 100 % of my apps work as intended and re-locking my bootloader is as simple as an ADB command if I should ever need to send the device back. Rooting does have its dangers, but I think everyone who roots understand the risk and takes it willingly.

BTW, some people like me end up with thousands of pics because we are trigger happy with the camera and document lots of stuff from work and our daily personal lives on our devices. I agree that backing up on a cloud would free space, and in my case, It's on the cloud automatically and it serves as a backup of all that is on the phone in case its stolen or damaged beyond repair. Clouds, however, don't always work when reception is poor and that's why I keep the pics/videos on the phone as well..

Backing up data individually on a per app basis would be a nightmare for me since I have over 220 apps installed. I don't want to waste 1 or 2 days of my life recovering data when I could do it on 15 minutes with a Titanium backup recovery. That's just my preference. I understand everyone has theirs, and I respect them. That's the beauty of choice and device freedom.

this is a s10+ thread. not a pixel thread. read here https://xdaforums.com/s10-plus/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s10-magisk-t3919246

KNOX will be tripped. your warranty will be void (at least where i live), certain apps wont work. So unless you're using a s10+ device you shouldnt argue over rooting samsung devices. Once again, im talking about samsung phones here. not pixel.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
I've owned Samsung devices all my life. My Pixel is my first non Samsung device and I'm never going back. I'm well aware of what is broken and what works when you root Samsung phone. Nobody I know cares about a voided warrantee. Through the years, i have sent back endless devices with "voided" warranty and Knox fuse blown to Tmo/Bestbuy and had then replaced within 24 hours (at least whereI live). It means absolute nothing for me since I had bought separate warranties on all devices. The argument over root or not root remains the same regardless of the device. It's a matter of choice and preference

Lol ok whatever. May be all the people you don't don't care about the warrenty but not me and the people I know. Some they don't care about the warrenty and some they do. Lucky for you in the states they don't check your phone before replacing but here unfortunately they will do a test first if it's rooted warrenty is gone. There is a reason every single Devs warn about Knox and warrenty. Just because you don't care about warrenty don't think others also like you.

And like I said owning a pixel device I have no idea why you even talking about rooting Samsung devices.you said rooting is the same regardless of the device. WRONG. It does matter. Read your previous thread and you will know what's the difference between rooted pixel and rooted Samsung. If you can root your pixel and have all these features good for you but no point u sharing you opinion here in a S10+ thread. It's pointless.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
I never said rooting is the same regardless of the device. I said the "argument over rooting" is the same. As far as sharing my opinion on rooting, I'll be the one to decide where I share it or not. Not you. You however can decide to ignore it or not. That's your pointless prerogative. The points I made about root hold true regardless of the device. Root gives you freedoms with your device you otherwise would not have. It also brings risks and each person can decide upon those for themselves.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
You obviously struggle with reading comprehension. You clearly didn't read anything of what I wrote about root and how it benefits the device. And no. 90 % of it cannot absolutely be done without root. You can't create backups, use Xposed, use Viper, or hundreds of other things. That's why people by the thousands create root forums and participate in then. But whatever dude. Enjoy life and live and let live.
