Hey,

I'd like to follow up to your response.

I'm about to install the freshly released S8+ build.

Could you please tell me what should I change the key 703 to in gpio_keys.kl in order to have it same as stock, so I could bind it to anything I want?

I'm really keen on using the google stock camera app, but I cannot find the right build and settings, any suggestion?

I've just switched from stock/stock based to AOSP, first step towards me developing something for s8+, but also reason why I don't know the right camera app to use yet. :D

I just readded the finger as the same one and fingerprint reader seems to work great now.

As for the Google music app, I just removed the apk from /system/app.

Still MicroSD gets a notification each bootup with options to eject it or browse, can be discarded easily, but no option to turn it off, apart from just disabling the notification manually.

IIRC there was some microsd setup that ran once and then it disappeared, but no sdcard setup starts for me.

I'll install the s8+ build now and report back.

I've enabled encryption, just to see if it works and it does work great.

There's a problem with TWRP and encryption though.

After rebooting to TWRP this is in TWRP's console:

Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer.

Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid Argument).

Unable to recreate /data/media folder.

I've tried switching password from pattern to password, but it does exactly the same.

Is this a known issue? AFAIK TWRP does support encryption, but it seems that it's done differently on Samsung devices.

I got the TWRP from official source here: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys8plus.html

version 3.3.1-2

I'd rather not wipe data, but will do if there's no other proper solution for AOSP builds.

Did a clean install of the latest S8+ build.

So far good batterylife and excellent performance.

Only big problem is the laggy camera.

I tried many different cameras and configs, but no luck.

Any suggestions for this ROM?

I have bluetooth issues too! I don't have any crash but my earbuds's microphone don't working during phone calls. It's very frustrating as I talk on theme a lot in work. Can anyone suggest something why is this happening? I searched and people complaining about bluetooth issues after android 10 upgrade and enable of "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload" in developer options work for them but on my device (and every samsung device I guess) this option is greyed out.

Any suggestions?

(I had this issue on Havoc and Lineage OS as well.)

Thank you for this rom. It is quite fluid and full of options. I would like to ask if there is any way to reduce color intensity in live display? I can't fine any presets modes like in pie roms. There you could disabled amoled mode and it really made a difference. Here i tried to joggle with the slides of the colors but they are still to intense. I don't know if this is a issue we android q in general or this rom. Thanks for your attention.

Great rom! Does anyone have a problem with netflix? As in it's stuck on the loading screen of the video.. Video previews work though. This happens with different versions of netflix too so I'm guessing it has something to do with the rom settings?

PIN Error - Can't Unlock Phone :(

The ROM worked beautifully for two weeks, but today I can't unlock the phone. After I enter the usual 6-digit PIN, the lockscreen keeps giving the error "wrong PIN". I'm sure that PIN is correct.

This may be related to one of these functions (in Settings/Security/Lock Screen):

Quick unlock (unlock automatically with the correct PIN/password is entered) – this was on, but the function turned itself off at the same time that the problem started.

Scramble layout - this was turned on, and remained on

I would appreciate your help!

Hey, I've been loving this ROM but I have one question. I have been having this issue with all the android 10 ROMs for my s8 where the WI-FI randomly cuts out.

Hello,

Aa seen in the picture, the system takes more than 13 G ! how come ?

is there a way to shrink it down ?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
Yes, that's normal on A/B devices as the phone has two system, vendor, product, and boot partitions. You can't shrink it either because of the way the super partitions work and shouldn't need to anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Ravenbutt:
Hi guys,

I understand there are many threads regarding this, and I've spent pretty much the entire day scouring through them, but I still see conflicting information and I want a definitive answer as to whether I should cancel my order of the Galaxy S20+ Exynos. I also wanted to ask a few questions which don't seem to get asked in any other threads.

So my first primary question is: is the S20+ Exynos really that bad? Coming from a Galaxy S8 and the price being quite expensive on contract, am I likely to entirely regret the purchase? Will I still see a significant improvement in terms of battery life and thermals compared to my S8?

I'm generally not a huge power user; would maybe play the occasional game of CODM or Antimatter Dimensions (Pretty much an idle game, so I doubt it'd cause any throttling, but from what I've heard of some users experiencing heat problems when scrolling through Facebook, I wouldn't be surprised.) The one thing that has me on the fence is the lack of consistency; I've read loads of threads talking about it's issues, but then loads of people saying they love the phone and are getting pretty good battery life with it, saying they are on Exynos. I'm wondering whether the whole thing is blown out of proportion or is it completely justified?

One point which I haven't really saw people mention is that originally people were saying that the device 'learns your usage'; the phone has been out for 2 months now, has anyone noticed any significant difference in battery life/thermals?

Another point that I was wondering that I don't really see mentioned is any update to fix the issue; is it possible to fix these issues with software updates? I understand that there's the fix for the green screen issue, but I'm more concerned about the battery life and thermals.

I'm really at a loss here. There doesn't really seem to be any other phone that appeals to me other than the S20+ that I can buy on a carrier that gets good signal where I live, apart from maybe the iPhone 11 Pro, but that is quite a bit more expensive. I'm even debating just getting the normal iPhone 11, but the LCD screen is putting me off. I really don't want to spend this much money on a phone only for the performance and battery life to be so badly hindered.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] chieco:
Sammy Fanboi here who, until the S20 had every samsung flagship since S4, I also had Note Series devices. And every device got hate about something... really every device always has some mini scandal/gate... I never saw those flaws on those devices or better said they never affected me. But this time, most things said is unfortunately true.

My issues:

Thermals. This is big because thermals are very important on every device not only phones. If the brains is negatively affected it can't operate at it's full potential and everything suffers from it.

The S20 exynos gets hot very easily and fast which means no 120Hz which is a main feature that you can't use anymore! Oh you wanna play games? ok have fun for 10 minutes because after those 10 minutes you get teleported back a few years and you now playing on s S7. Everything stutters frames start dropping and you notice the change obviously instantly from from the smooth gameplay before. Now you get frustrated and stop playing. This happens faster in warm climates like right now. This happens on everything that stresses the SOC not even in a very extreme way but just medium and over a longer period. And this issue is real.

Besides the fact that there are S20's in the world with SD SOC's that cost the same and don't have this issue or are even more capable is just not fair and such ****ty move from sammy.

But SD S20's are not perfect either, they also suffer when compared to other devices with the SD865! There is this youtube channel called techutopia or something which does emulator tests and he tested in a video 3 SD865 devices and the S20 performed the worst even with the same SOC because of sammys bad thermals!

For this reason alone I would skip the S20 exynos or even the S20 series all together.

Battery is the same on every device of mine! No difference there. Every device I owned get's me trough the day without a problem but I have to charge overnight. No change in that. But don't expect the S20+ to deliver any miracles.

Display seems ok on mine no crazy green tint issue like some people post where the display looks like some cheap lcd with extreme green clouding issues. My Display looks like it changes it's color profile at lower brightness settings on a gray background but at least no clouding. OLED lottery...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Ravenbutt:
Damn.

Honestly, I was hoping for a different answer, but I think this is the answer I needed.

I've been with Samsung since the S6, got the S7 Edge and then S8 and had no real reason to upgrade since that as it's just been such a perfect phone. Samsung have lost a pretty easy sale here and if this issue didn't exist then I would've been happily using an S20+ right now.

Honestly I don't know what to do from here in terms of my phone; I've never owned an iPhone, and never even thought about buying one until now, but the iPhone 11 or XS are the only phones other than the S20+ that really appeal to me. I would be looking at the OP8 but it's not available on contract with O2. I'm tempted to just keep my S8 until a phone that does appeal to me comes out, but I don't know how much life my S8 still has in it as I've had it for over 2 1/2 years; it seems to be doing alright for now but with some noticeable slow down. One thing I will say is that the S8 has been a damn near exceptional phone and made me a loyal Samsung customer, but this has just completely backtracked that.

Thanks for the post, it was a great help. Definitely going to cancel my order and have a think about other options.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] madpete:
I have an S20+, and personally while I'd "prefer" the SD version, for me the Exynos is not as bad as some people make out.

Yes, the SD version is faster in benchmarks, but the reality is in day to day use who is going to actually notice? And yes, while it's not as quick as the SD, it's not exactly a "slow" chip.

I had the reboot issue at the start, but this has been fixed for me with a software update.

As I said given the choice, I'd have picked the SD version, but we are talking about is it really THAT BAD here, right?

I don't game much on my phone, but I do everything else pretty heavily and my phone never even feels warm in general use. I have read some people say their devices get hot just browsing, watching Youtube etc.

Mine has never even got mildly warm watching Youtube or in general use... I even tested it and it's temp hovered about 34c in use, while at idle it was 31c. This makes me wonder if there's something else going on there? Ie: Configuration issue? Or if maybe not all Exynos 990's are equal? I can't answer that.

I have spent some time tuning the phone, as I do with every phone I have, and I've been generally happy overall. If I run at 96hz I regularly get 7.5hr to 8hr+ SOT a day, after more updates and tweaking, at 120hz I can get 6.5hrs to 7hrs SOT. As I said, I take to time to optimise every phone I have like this, so I'm not doing anything I wouldn't usually do with another phone here.

Apart from Macro shots (which needs fixing), I've been pretty happy with the camera. While there is always room to improve, I'm sure there will be additional firmware updates which will improve it to some degree again.

Not saying everyone's use and experience will be the same, but I'm just speaking for my personal experience with my S20+.

What I need from a phone is good daily performance, good battery life, and a great screen, and that's what I'm getting.

Would I like the slightly better performance and efficiency of the SD for the same money? Yes obviously.

Is the Exynos 990 "that bad"? For me, no it isn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] tobias14:
My experience and use is almost the same, sans reboots..

Own S20+ 4G exynos for 5 days only and so far experienced no overheating, FHD [MENTION=512813]120[/MENTION]hz with SOT 6.5 hrs. Truth being told it is 90% on wifi due to covid lockdown
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] TheNetwork:
Not bad at all. I got my Exynos S20+ on Wednesday and the battery is very good, it was also ridiculously cheap compared to the Snapdragon version, it gets updates faster, and it has never "overheated" like so many people claim it does. Then again, I'm not an 11 year old whose parents buy him everything and who plays fortnite all day so that may affect one's opinion if they fall into that category. Use basic logic: there's maybe a couple hundred people on the entire internet across all websites whining and complaining about their Exynos S20s having issues, millions of people with these phones around the world, and often times you'll find the people complaining about the Exynos battery life are little kids who play PUBG or Fortnite all day and night and complain their phone won't run 120Hz at max brightness on 5G for 8 hours without recharging. Absolutely nothing wrong with the Exynos, it's a great phone and you can usually find it cheaper if you look because of these few whiners (so I guess we do have something to thank them for!)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sublimaze:
Everyone's experience with Exynos varies because everyone uses their phone a little differently. One person may have no issues at all (or relatively minor issues), and another person can't make it through a day without dealing with thermal throttling.

The general consensus is Exynos is an inferior SoC. There is no question about that. But if you don't game a lot, don't record a lot of video and don't plan to use 120 Hz, then chances are you won't be significantly affected by Exynos' poor efficiency. For me, those are a lot of caveats for a $1000+ phone.

You can import a Snapdragon model, but it might not support all the bands used by your carrier, and obviously you won't be able to roll the payments into your monthly phone bill.

I am not trying to talk you out of buying a S20, but you did the right thing by postponing your purchase until you decide it is definitely worth the money. And it sounds like you aren't convinced of that.

If you can't get a Snapdragon S20 but you still want Android, then I strongly recommend looking at OnePlus 8/Pro or 7T, all of which would save you some money. Moving to iPhone is a huge deal if you've invested a lot of money in the Play store. You'll also lose a lot of customizability. iPhones are great if you don't mind having essentially the same phone as every other iPhone owner. But forget about custom launchers, widgets and all the other stuff that makes an Android phone your phone. And get real comfortable with iTunes because you can't do anything to your iPhone without it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] TheNetwork:
If by inferior you mean it gets higher single core performance and slightly worse multi core performance and sometimes heats up slightly, yeah it's just the worst thing on earth!

S20 buying guide:

Do you play games for several hours straight on your phone and don't care about paying $300+ extra for the Crapdragon chipset? Buy the Crapdragon

Do you want a phone that blows all the competition in the same price range away and do literally anything else with your phone except play games for hours on end? Exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] NickRaga:
Sorry if I jump into the conversation, but it's a topic I'm interested in.

I've read that the Exynos variants have a standby battery drain problem. Is that true?

I'm coming from an S10e which has a BIG standby drain issue (I've experienced nothing like that before), and before buying an S20 I'd like to know if those rumors are true or not.

I'm asking this because I don't use the phone for gaming, so having a phone who can support graphic-intensive games for a long playing time is not a crucial point for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] harisyks:
Basically:

a) You disable a ton of packages and apps through Package disabler = NO overheating, no lag, only minor frame drops when opening the camera (or I guess something else intensive)

b) You don't = all issues above. I used to drop to 60hz pretty often until I tuned everything up.

I have WiFi, 4G, Bt, Location always ON and the battery is fine for me. About 5h-7h SOT.

Coming from a Pixel 2, I'd advise against the S20+ in pursue of a different phone, mostly OP8 Pro or the Pixel 4 (though I'm unsure about the Pixel). I wouldn't get the iPhone since 120hz is so nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] TheNetwork:
Coming from a OnePlus 6, I'd advise you buy an S20+. I can't recommend this phone enough and most of the whiners just need something to complain about and in reality haven't even compared the snapdragon and exynos so they have no basis to claim it's the CPU's fault and not just that the phone in general is not for them.

OnePlus 8 Pro is ridiculously underfeatured and overpriced. The only use I can see it having is if you're an OP fangirl and want to play games 24/7 so you absolutely need the slightly better cooling and qualcomm chipset.
