View attachment 5227315

I don't have great battery life, but I use my phone heavily and sometimes use intensive apps, so I'm not complaining about that. I have pretty much all battery optimizations turned off (I'm actually currently helping Don'tKillMyApp correct their S10 info, which I never found correct).

The top 5 memory users on my phone are all system processes. I have disabled a number of apps. I have five different AR apps disabled, but I don't see AR Core on my phone. I noticed that One UI Home was in the top 5 at around 450 MB. I disabled that yesterday, since I don't use it (I use Nova) and spent some time trying to figure out why my recent apps button was no longer working. It is ridiculous I need to use 450 MB of memory just to use the recent apps button.

My cached apps don't seem to be using too much memory. I'm sure I have more apps than I need running in the background (Blokada, Bitwarden, a couple battery monitors, a VPN at times and so on), but I didn't really have problems on Android 10. I haven't added any more since upgrading to 11, but I seem to be having serious memory issue. This morning I had the VPN on and was downloading in the background in a browser and I switched to something else minor and when I switched back, the browser had stopped and the VPN stopped, killing my download and VPN connection, so it's seriously impacting the usability of my phone.

When you say you are running the factory load of Google apps, do you mean you have never upgraded them, or have uninstalled updates? I have never really paid attention to those upgrades and have just allowed them.

I seem to regularly see about 84% usage in developer options > memory. Unfortunately, I didn't record what these memory and cache numbers were when I was on 10. 84% sounds high to me, what is anyone else's phone averaging?

I think I definitely need to contact Samsung regarding this issue.

I'm running on Pie so no idea how ARCore is being implemented now or if it's an issue.

On my 10+ Nova uses a lot battery and resources than One UI which is faster as well.

Factory load are the original apks with no updates. Many times updates help but not always.

My ram usage profile is similar to yours.

I have about 86 packages disabled.

Google Backup Transport and Framework can run even when disabled presumably due to dependencies. Periodically clearing there data, Google Play Services and the apk logs helps on this device.

Manual sync only except text, and Google Play Services is Firewall blocked except when needed.

All carrier, Samsung and Google feedback is turned off. Android Services is firewall block as it's not needed. Playstore is disabled and firewall blocked except when needed.

It been an evolving process... one reason I'm not eager to update to Q and start from scratch with this again. Pie is fast, stable and does everything I want it to. To date none of it vulnerabilities have been an issue; a forced reload is far easier than the upgrade🤣

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] rsngfrce:
Thanks for the reply and screenshot! Noticeably, the system on your phone uses more memory but you also have more memory to start with than my S10e does.

The only possibly memory-related issue I had on 10 that bothered me was a period of time when my recent apps menu was often getting cleared out, even of the locked apps. Both Samsung and AT&T told me I would need to do a system reset, which I didn't want to do, or take it into a store for a repair. For some reason, this issue seemed to have gone away before the Android 11 upgrade on its own.

I am going to try disabling or uninstalling apps that are running in the background that I don't really need and I'll try some of your suggestions such as disabling auto-sync. I really don't believe I should have to do this though since I wasn't having issues like this on Android 10 and the phone should be new enough to handle the upgrade without such issues, so I will contact Samsung to see what they say.

As I said, I am generally a fan of upgrades, but I really can't think of anything I have seen better about Android 11. Even the better control over app permissions doesn't seem as good as it was described. There are SERIOUS issues with some apps using the SD Card. At this point, I certainly wouldn't have upgraded if I had known this, and for me, that is saying a lot. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Generally I close out apps after I'm done with them as some like Brave continue to run in the background sucking down the battery.

Migrating from Pie you lose a lot of valuable tools in the name of Google's big sister approach to security. Lol, Google is the biggest security risk on the phone.

Do the factory reset. After a firmware update it's best practice. For once the do a factory reload advice from the techs was sound🤣

If you have an SD card use it as a data drive. The internal drive is for loaded apps, downloads (until vetted) and such.

Store all critical data there, files, music, vids, including copies of your apps (ApkExport) so you can do a full reload with little or no internet or your PC. Make a copy of the SD card data to your PC and 2 hdds that are electronically and physically isolated from the PC. Back these up as needed.

I can do a full reload in about 2 hours. 2 forced back to back reloads made me streamline the process. A forced reload doesn't happen often but can happen at any time. A SD card used as a data drive adds another level of redundancy and perhaps data security.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] rsngfrce:
Thanks for the info, I will consider the factory reset if I can't make any progress on this issue. I chatted with Samsung today and they told me to wipe the cache in recovery, which seemed like a valid suggestion to me, so I will see if that makes any difference
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Just do the factory reset rather than chase ghosts. Nothing like a clean, fresh load... then you can see if there really are issues that need resolved. Hopefully only minor ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] rsngfrce:
In all honesty, though you make it sound like nothing, I am very afraid of loosing things if I factory reset. I spend a lot of time personalizing my phone just as I want it and even if I can reload my apps, I worry about the time it will take to get my battery widget color just as I want it 😜. Not everything allows exporting the settings.

It would have been less of an issue on my rooted Galaxy S4 with Titanium Backup (which I still have as a backup), but my S10e isn't rooted. I use Alpha Backup Pro to backup apps sometimes, but after the upgrade to Android 11, it is no longer able to save external data, another disadvantage to the so-called upgrade.

If I was to factory reset my phone, what would I do then about upgrades. Can I decline the Android 11 upgrade but still accept the periodic security updates?

So far, things seem somewhat better after wiping the cache, but I don't believe the issue is resolved.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Well designed apps that are hard to set up should allow the settings to be easily saved. Maybe some settings can be saved with Smart Switch.

Start now; streamline your reload strategy so it's easy, fast, redundant and loses no critical data.

It's a learning process that you need to put some thought into. All critical data should already be on the data drive.

Androids when they crash do it with little warning most times. Always being ready to reload makes it only a minor inconvenience.

As for 10/11 I have no useful workaround info as it doesn't concern me.

I've been running obsolete, unpatched OS's including Android for over a decade with very little trouble.

Far less trouble than upgrading to a "secure" system would cause.

No forced reloads from viruses starting with XPx64/Kitkat4. The one thing I watch like a hawk are email and downloads. Email stays in the cloud unless a download is absolutely required.

Pie continues to provide a fast, stable platform that does everything I need. No replacement needed as long as I'm using this device.

I block all updates.

If you should is up to you...

Everything related to my device is redundantly protected so if I do get hacked the most it will cost me is some time. If I suspect a device compromised (including erratic behavior) it gets reloaded.

I'm a bit ruthless about that; all OS's are expendable, data is not.

Whenever I set up a machine I assume it's will need reloaded sooner than latter. Everytime I've drifted from that premise it's been unpleasant.

Two back to back reloads on the 10+ impressed me enough to nail down my reload strategy.

2 hours instead of almost 2 days; shortcuts and fine tuning take another few hours. Whatever🤣

Thanks for all the info. I have never had a phone crash, but I should know better considering the issues I have had with computers and a PS3.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Android is a remarkably stable platform normally.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] rsngfrce:
It has recently come to my attention that performing a factory reset, like you were suggesting, will not downgrade the system version (in this case 11 to 10), just reset the phone to a like-new state WITH the existing system version. I'm unsure if you were just suggesting a factory reset to 'clean up' Android 11, but I believed otherwise at the time. So I guess my only downgrade options would be reflashing to the previous version at a Samsung Experience Store, as you also suggested, or going the root route.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Exactly. When you don't do a factory reset after a major firmware update it tends to run poorly.

You're stuck on whatever was flashed to the device though, good or bad.

You need to reflash the old version if you want that unfortunately.

One reason myself and many others rarely upgrade an OS if we like it, it's running fast, stable and is fulfilling its mission.

I want to comment that you can have some stutter in some parts of the map, another thing, you will play stable at 30fps in low quality with 75% resolution

to start, you need to fix the safetynet and if you installed Zrom lite, you probably also installed dm-verity and multdisabler-samsung, these files cause an error within the game, during the hop of the bus you are sent back to the lobby and a vpn error message appears, to fix this, you need to install EdXposed

you will install two magisk modules, Riru and Riru - EdXposed, in addition to installing EdXposed manager, after restarting the phone, you will install the module: Hidden Core

after installing, open EdXposed manager, go in modules and enable only the hiddencore module, it is important that you do not activate EdXposed manager, then go to settings and activate App list mode this will allow you to enable Pass SafetyNet, then to activate, go to your magisk manager, and activate magisk hide, go to magisk hide and hide it from fortnite

restart your cell phone and check if you were able to go through the safetynet, it is important that your evalType is listed as BASIC, after checking hide the magisk manager package (you can enter any name you like), after all this, you can start optimize your phone to play

optimizations:

Do not use any magisk module for performance or battery and no other tweak, just use these in Hktweaks 2.1, I am using the kernel eureka 6.1 beta one ui A205G, I will make it available for download

I hope you enjoy

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archimime:
It's important for note-taking and drawing on stylus devices like the Galaxy Note 3 to ensure that capacitive touch is disabled when using the active stylus, to prevent a palm resting on the display from disrupting the writing etc. Note that this is distinct from software attempts at palm rejection.

We can see that this is done in Ubuntu tablets in standard tools like this by switching off the capacitive touch when the active stylus is detected near the display of the device.

LineageOS is capable of understanding the difference between active stylus input and capacitive touch input -- it displays a little circle pointer when the stylus is near the display on a devices like the Galaxy Note 3, for example. So, how can LineageOS be made to disable the capacitive touch input either

when the stylus is near to the display or

by some manual switch that disables capacitive touch input while leaving active stylus input enabled?

The goal may be similar to S-Pen Only, but this no longer appears to work on modern versions of Android/LineageOS.

So, how can input be set to active stylus-only, with capacitive touch disabled?

Can I flash this in MI Flash?
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
I'm not sure. Maybe yes if your bootloader is unlocked.

You can try to flash this in MiFlashTool and then tell us, please ;)

But, certainly you can flash this in SP Flash Tool.

Sorry for the Noob question, but what's Engineering rom? Its a custom rom? And what changes from miui?

Thank you
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
It is an OFFICIAL ROM by Xiaomi.

It helps engineers to make updates, bug fixes, new improvements and many other things on the device, because this rom does not have all the security steps and procedures.

In other words, it helps for DEBUGGING and DEVELOPMENT.
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Communos:
Yes, you can flash with MI Flash. You might need to erase vendor and system.
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Communos:
It is not OFFICIAL, it is not released to public. It has been released by Halabtech. and engineering rom is used as a base to build the stock rom for the device.

Also, please credit @ErdilS, as he provided the firmware originally.

[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Communos:
Engineering rom is base firmware used by the company to test features and build stock rom for the device.

It is not for daily use, just for unbricking device.
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
YES, this is leaked but it is OFFICIAL developed and signed by xiaomi.

Only Xiaomi can sign images with xiaomi signature.

Are you insane?

Do you mean halabtech has any developer on its team?

LOL, LOL, LOL.

Halabtech is just a (good) copier.

I've never seen anything developed by halabtech team.

Except some bat files compiled to exe... LOL, LOL, LOL.

Engineering Firmware does NOT repair your imei.

You need to do everything by yourself.

Talking about changing imei is not allowed on XDA, please don't ask about how to do that.

Good job, my friend.

IMEI for Slot1 will not be accepted on release versions.

Just go back to engineering and erase the IMEI for slot1.

It needs to be empty.

Keeps only IMEI for slot2.

And then, it will works perfectly.

Only Xiaomi Centre can recover IMEI for slot1 if you lost it.

Newbie question - since we can run su commands trough adb shell on this rom, does anyone have idea how to try to install twrp (or some other custom recovery) with locked bootloader? I tried dd few different twrp.img's to /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 but that just gives bootloops.
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Obviously, you can NOT.

If you want to flash any partition different than the original, you need to unlock bootloader.

If you try to modify your device with locked bootloader, it will get in bootloop.

[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
First off thanks for your effort and support for this device, I want to ask you in case you know a few things:

Now I can't boot to some ROMs (KangOS, Nusantara, Pixel Extended, LineageFE) (Only could with HykonOS); the others redirect me to either TWRP or OFR and I don't want to flash the entire ROM to fix that, I flashed the vbmeta, format, flashed Magisk with no avail.

- Will this firmware allows me to boot completely to system so after can flash other ROM without set it up all again?

- Which file I have to avoid to flash, maybe preloader?

- Any of the 4 scatter and also the scatter attached is accepted for SP Flash tool (v5,1728), what other can I use? Or I have to download the official ROM to use it on it, though.

- What is the right method to enter to download mode using just buttons without open the back cover?
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
If your device is redirecting to TWRP, I suggest you to flash the stock recovery and see if appears any error message, like "nv data corrupted".

Before flashing custom rom, I suggest you to flash the V12.0.1.0.QJOIDXM (Indonesia), because some custom roms are based on this.

About preloader, I suggest you to keep on V12.0.4.0, because you can flash using spflashtool in download mode and you can avoid the EDL bypass. It is working on Android 11 too.

About scatter file, I suggest you to use the same scatter of the MIUI version you have.

As I said, if you want to skip EDL bypass and flash using download mode, just flash preloader-V12.0.4.0.bin.
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SubwayChamp:
Thanks for the help, I flashed it and used it as base, now all the custom ROMs can pass at least the boot/splash, but they get stuck in the settings (it's strange though).

I feel that some ROM I flashed messed something with the product partition.

I guess I will flash the stock ROM you suggested to fixed it.

Regards.
[Redmi Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
Sometimes, you need to wipe data or your device can be stucked or in bootloop, like when you downgrade your system.
