[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
Oh sorry I didn't added system image option ill fix it now wait a few minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] andriyhar:
ok, no problem.

Thanks anyway for you job.... (y)
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
Here is the new one i added system img and vendor img flash support. I updated the one on my thread too.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] andriyhar:
ZIP flash ok, but img does.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
These one should work i 've tried and it works.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] andriyhar:
Thank you.

Flash img ok. (y) 💯
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
Can anyone try it with data encryption and if its not working take a log for me?
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] andriyhar:
Los encrypted, try update, recovery didn't ask pass for decrypt.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
Thx bro . Can you take a log from ofox . It's on the settings part.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] andriyhar:
ok, here is.....
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:

I am unable to backup Super image, the backup fails. Just like with TWRP too.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
Yeah I now I'll fix it soon.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] aero2zero:
Great. Another issue: OF does not show the System partition, thus I am unable to backup it.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
This isn't a bug because Android 10+ hasn't a physical system partition super partition includes system vendor odm its a dynamic partition. And any recovery hasn't system partition on backup settings. I could rename super partition as system but it isn't system it is super and the m51 users has to learn it so i won't rename it as system. Anyway thx bro but it isn't an bug.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] aero2zero:
Well, in contrary of this, my previous device was a Xiaomi phone (Mi 9T Pro), using Android 10 as well as 11 later, but System partition always showed up and I was able to back it up. (With OrangeFox recovery of course.)
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] aero2zero:
And I got these error messages about logical partitions. What's wrong with them?
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ShaDisNX255:
The Mi 9T Pro launched with Android 9 in 2019 and therefore doesn't have super partition. That's why you were able to backup system partition.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
There is a system partition. I said you they are all dynamics partitions and they are subpartitions of super. Super includes all these partitions you can show system on mount options but if you want to back up you have to back up super partition. Because it includes other important partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
It isn't an important problem. There are some mounting errors. But it doesn't block the use of the recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
Yeah that's the answer thx.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CapMothy:
Can anyone guide me how to Flash GSI using OFOX or TWRP please? I'd appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] aero2zero:
Thing is, it doesn't allow me to backup the Super partition. Backup always fails at approx. 53%.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
Download the gsi image you want. Then copy it on your sdcard boot in recovery. If it's ofox select sdcard and select the rom you've copied and select system image as install location. If twrp select sdcard select flash image and select your gsi and again as partition select system.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
Have you tried super image backup or super backup? And one point you can only backup super on internal storage there is bug it can't backup super to sdcard you can move it from internal to sdcard manually.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CapMothy:
I tried to flash system.img with TWRP but didn't find it
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
Then try ofox i gsi added support for ofox newly. I'll add to twrp too.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CapMothy:
Can I do full backup in OFOX? I've never used it before and users had a problem backing it up. I'm asking because I don't have access to a PC atm.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
Most likely not as you can't backup super partition with this build

Sorry my bad I miss read the forms bug it only says you cant backup super image so you maybe able to back up super as .win

Ps please do share your experience with gsi if you decide to flash it. I am also planning to install havocos gsi depending on your experience.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
Just tested.

The recovery was able to backup up system_image but not system

I'd like to hear about peoples gsi rom experience.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CapMothy:
I won't risk anything until a decent build comes out because like I said, I don't have a pc atm.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] aero2zero:
Oh, I see. Will check later. Another thing comes up: the system notified me yesterday about a new security update that had arrived. I downloaded it, the phone rebooted itself, OrangeFox started, and... nothing happened. I managed to find the downloaded zip file in /data/fota, tried to manually install it in OrangeFox, but it fails. There's nothing I can do with that update?
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] aero2zero:
By the way, I succeeded with Super image backup onto internal sd. Thank you for the solution!
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CapMothy:
All I have to do to is just back it up to internal storage right?
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
Had tried to install havoc is gsi a-only arm-64 both vanilla and gapps included.

Didn't boot up and for some reason internal storage was wipe during install.

Lost every backup and important data I had. smh.

Do be careful trying to install gsi.

Be sure to backup in mirosd card instead of internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CapMothy:
Thank god I didn't try it, would've been stuck without a phone for a whiiile
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
Also be sure to have the lineageos zip file

It was a life saver. I had some twrp backups moved onto the PC but was unable to move it back to both internal and micro SD card.

Having lineage os zip in my microsd card saved my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
Also the logs were removed but restoring system_image ends midway as failed. But it did boot me up to lineage which I had backed up.

It was after this that I again tried to flash gsi image confident that if anything goes wrong I can restored it to lineage is.

But my internal storage got wipe even my micro SD card was shown to be empty I panicked and made a another mistake of formatting data.

In the end the micro SD data was there but the internal gone
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
Are we not supposed to install a only gsi?

Why have you install ab gsi?

Did it work?

How stable is it?

Please do tell it will be much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
Also I had wipe data cache dvaik multiple times.

I've even factory formatted data.

But somehow when I installed apps like newpipe and tachiyomisy the history, subscription list were still intacted when the app was installed.

(Both app does not sync to the web)

Is this normal or is wipe not working properly?
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
if you have installed twrp or ofox you can't install over them. You have to install with smart switch or you have to install your stock recovery to install it.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
I have a solution for the backups you can move the backup files on your sd ofox backups folder from your internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
My PC is broken since 1 week so i couldn't do anything. ill fix the annoying update bugs as soon as i have my PC repaired. But it can take a while (3 or 4 weeks) because i haven't enought money 🤣.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
Yeah super image backup is the same so dont worry. Super image is emmc super partition is ext4 thats the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
I got cocky and didn't care to move the backups to to sd my bad.

What about this
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
We are supposed to flash a/b img.

I tried it today ( https://download.havoc-os.com/arm64-ab/Havoc-OS-v4.1-20210208-arm64-ab-Official.img.xz) and it booted sucessfully but this rom reboots randomly

I will not recommend it thought as there is no way to resize our system partition that i know of ( if there is please tell me) currently so we are unable to install the img with gapps included. Opengapp does not support Android 11.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
lol mistakenly posted on another tread. It is meant for this tread.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
I think you have to wipe internal storage too because some of the data of your apps can be stored there. Wipe is perfectly working.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
On the logs it says that it successfully restored. So the error isn't important. I'll fix these trivial issues when i have repaired my PC.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Rijanrijan:
I can how ever recommend havoc os android 10 gsi with gapps though. Been using for a while with no reboots and crash.

Only this not working is auto brightness and similar problem to lineage os during call.

Can you share me your system image space.

I've only got 3.17GB with 272MB free.

Sufficient for Android 10 but not 11
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] aero2zero:
How to do this using the Smart Switch app you mentioned? I just can't find anything in it about that.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] aero2zero:
Anyway, I managed to update the whole system (and reinstall recovery, re-root, etc. it was a long process), so it contains the security patch mentioned above.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] CapMothy:
Can you tell us how please? I'd like to update to oneui 3.0 when it drops in April.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] aero2zero:
Just shared it in the another topic. (bekirakil's TWRP)
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] bekirakil:
I'm back. I'll solve the backup problems.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] davidnghk:
May I know the backup issue is fixed in the new version?

I see the git source is still old.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Hedhunter:
I have a Note 8 with a Sprint sim lock. The places I see advertised on Ebay that do the unlocking say the phone will only work on GSM networks. I plan on using Verizon, which is CDMA. Is there any way after doing the unlock to get the CDMA to work again? Can I flash Verizon firmware to fix that? Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] karandevilocs:
Hey guys,

So i got my Ultra chunk on Jan 22nd (Italy shipments were early) and been testing it non stop on different scenarios on aprox. 10 charge cycles by now and i want to share some of them to find out which apps are draining it in standby idle and WHY CANT I GET MORE THAT 5.30hrs of SOT...i watch every Exynos battery life test on Youtube and I wonder why i cant get those kind of numbers on my phone... is it because of 512gb/16gb? is it because of apps/settings?

1st scenario NORMAL (before update)(with lots of apps on sleep) :

2nd scenario HEAVY (after the update) :

3rd scenario IDLE FOR 2.30hrs (after update):

4th scenario without SS: There was a scenario where i only used camera for a day with lots of UHD and single take (which is heavy on cpu and takes lot of power and heats up the phone in cold weather) and it was around 20% with around 2hours of SOT and lots of camera time...

PS: also i want to add that i added every app and pic/video from my NOTE 8(which i got 4.30hr of SOT!!) and the app count with aprox~590apps (including system apps) and its only ~200gb after i copied bunch of movies to it. I cleared cached 2times by now, tried putting apps to sleep (around 260 of them) and then tried the same apps on deep sleep and today i deleted all of those to let system do that for me.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] karandevilocs:
Which storage option and which variant? Exynos or SD?

what's your average SOT time when you're using it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Antonio1981italy:
Same issue
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mtm1401:
I doubt it's the 16gb/512gb configuration, and to be honest the first screenshot seems pretty reasonable, as youtuber tests are in perfect conditions and not switching apps or on mobile data.

So few questions:

WQHD/120Hz?

WiFi/5G/4G? If one of the later, what was your signal like?

Are literally all of your apps sleeping? If so that can actually be a drain if you're fully reopening apps that you use regularly. I would deep sleep anything you don't use often and let the system determine the rest

Emoji ap and chrome look like they're using quite a bit of battery considering very little use, have seen problems with chrome eating battery so might be worth finding a replacement.

Also seen smarthings has been said to be causing a lot of issues, but don't know if that's visible drain that gets reported or something that just causes it in the background.

Compared to my S10+, my s21u exynos seems to be closing apps way less aggressively i.e. YouTube Vanced is eating battery in the background unless I fully close it even if not watching a video. Hoping this improves with usage.

When starting from scratch (100%) with no apps open, my drain is like 0.6% per hour on WiFi with tap to make AOD, but seems to struggle to idle that well after use unless manually closing apps
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] karandevilocs:
WQHD+ 120Hz

No reception here and i didn't put it on airplane mode but now im starting to do so i got 5.47hr of SOT this cycle

Wifi is 2.4ghz with good reception (not great), i had apps that i didn't use on sleeping (removed them) , then did kinda same selection on DEEP SLEEP (again removed them too) and wanted to system to configure it but now system is not putting anything to sleep so its 0 in all three sections.

i used emoji AR for the first time in that cycle so that's why its there and never appeared after that. Chrome beta makes phone heat up slightly but i like it and can't switch to other browsers because of numerous reasons...

and about smartthings, should i unistall it completly or should i disable something for it?

also i removed facedata and also found that FINGERPRINT SCANNER was on ALWAYS ON so i switched it off too.

deep sleep messed up the apps , should i put the apps on sleep again?

also my animation scales are all set at 0.5x in developer settings could that drain it too?

also i jumped straight from note 8 so i dont know about the tips and tricks that S20 users did, is there a specific set of settings that i should turn off/on?

EDIT: Wanted to add if you have goodlock on your phones too? i have everyworking goodlock mod on my phone from galaxy store ( they're available in store just like US), could one of them cause the drainings?

appreciate the replies !
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] karandevilocs:
you're in Italy? can we return the phone? what's the return window? i dont know if it's because of IT rom / configuration / operator or other factors

also are you also using WQHD 120hz ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mysterioustko:
Sounds like your apps are the problem. Go in the settings and restrict background data and background operation of them.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Google Play Services, Google Backup Transport and Framework are prime suspects.

Clear the data for all three.

Try blocking them with Karma Firewall*.

*Because your on 10 or 11 a lot of diagnostic tools available in Pie aren't available to you... so you need to guess.

Android >10 sucks... nothing like feeling secure and helpless. Woke or was that choked?🤣🤣🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mtm1401:
If you have a WiFi connection and have turned on WiFi calling, you shouldn't need to go into aeroplane mode.

This YouTube video explains the different sleep bins so worth a watch (

), but I would also let it settle for a few days if you're moving everything around every 5 minutes. :)

If it's saved passwords you are stuck in chrome for, I recommend a manager like bitwarden (works across all devices and browsers).

Good lock and animations shouldn't impact battery too much.

Did you use smart switch? Would always recommend a clean install, at least of settings.

Try charging your phone to full before bed, then seeing how much it drains overnight when asleep and if anything pops up on the battery usage that shouldn't
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] speedyjay:
My battery on my S21 Ultra, 512GB, Exynos model has been outstanding.

When WiFi is on, I turn mobile data off

GPS is off

FHD+ display with 120hz

Adaptive brightness

Mail sync off

I don't play games on my phone, so no games installed.

I'm at 30% battery with nearly 7hrs SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] karandevilocs:
Wow, so it's not about the 512gb... great battery!

1.Did you use smartswitch when you started it?

2.how many apps you have approximately? Did you set up secure folder/dual apps

3.did you install any goodlock mods on it?

4.why fhd+? The qhd and fhd has the same batterylife according to phonearena test.

5.is your fingerprint reader set to always on? Do you have AOD on as well?

Appreciate the replies! Enjoy it
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] karandevilocs:
I tried deepsleep before too, it messes up the apps completely unlike the normal sleeping method, so im back to using that. Put 265apps to sleep yesterday. Idle battery drain is almost fixed after turning off aod/fingerprint always on sensor and also deleting smartthings, i dont know which one did that

I used smartswitch at fisrt, but only for moving media and contacts/messages, i didnt move the settings.

Secure folder and dualapps make different googleplay services when you create them which is like having two phones at the same time... I wonder if those are the issues
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] speedyjay:
I do have goodlock. Only the custom clock mod.

I have approximately around 80 apps installed (including the stock Samsung ones)

FHD+ because if the display is barely distinguishable at QHD as opposed to FHD+, you may as well save as much battery as you can while still having the same experience.

I used SmartSwitch when I initially came from the Oppo Find X2 Pro and that went smoothly.

Fingerprint scanner is constantly active.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] karandevilocs:
HEY GUYS, i included everyone to get the last feedback from you all:

So i think it's getting better this is from 90% to 2% yesterday to today, with 6.15hrs of SOT and ~19hrs of Batterylife, BTW i ran 3dmark (slingshot) and androbench and tried new games too so it was fairly more than normal usage ;

I disabled AOD and fingerprint always on, deleted Smartthings and cleared Play Services cache also i did put 265apps to regular sleep.

Things that i didn't change were: The wifi was alwasy on, bluetooth was on for the majority of the time too, sync on, WQHD+ 120hz, NFC on, and since there is no reception here i put the phone on Airplane mode i still have my goodlock mods and secure folder stuff there too.

And about the SMART SWITCH, I just want to show you guys that i only moved my media and contacts/messages to the new phone and not the settings.

Check them out:

Good or Bad?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mtm1401:
I've found

So I always used tap for AOD (with option for fingerprint sensor to show when AOD turns on) as well as a routine for AOD always on when charging, best of both worlds and its an unnecessary drain in my eyes anyway.

I was worried at the battery life I was getting (had the phone from the 28th) but does seem to be gradually improving. I also removed GSAM and Accubattery so I wasn't constantly checking (and they run quite heavy in the background, like 500mb between them).

The other thing to remember is when people are showing battery of over a day, there's like 7-8 hours where it just idles loses 3/4/5%, so the battery life isn't really much better, so 24 hours of usage with 6 hours SOT really isn't that different to 18 hours with 6 hours SOT:)

Hopefully the improvements keep coming, honestly I'd delete the battery tracking apps and just use the in built one seeing as there isn't a clear drain from anything, you'll stop worrying and checking it all the time, thus saving more battery lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I'm running on Pie with the factory load for Device Care. That may work well for you but not on the software I have.

I do best with all power management disabled.

Android Services battery use went nuts with power management enabled... and it got worse not better as the days progressed.

With AOD always on it uses less than 1% @ hour for my 10+ so I leave it on.
