I have been using this Mi 11x (Indian variant of Poco F3/ Redmi K40). It has TWRP by Nebrassy as latest version of Magisk (v23) installed and working. Magisk is working in systemless mode. System structure shows partitions Slot A and Slot B in TWRP. Whenever I attempt to delete any system file using root privileged file manager it return 'failed to delete : error code 1'.

I did try deleting these files using TWRP file manager. There also it says 'failed, Code 1'.

The phone runs well, but it can barely keep chrome and a settings page open in the background. There should be around 1.4gb free in the background.

Flashing other roms should help, however trying to unlock the bootloader has proven challenging.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] daboross:
I've found disabling the Google app, and removing permissions from the default Camera and OnePlus Launcher to help significantly.

Here's my stock RAM usage without anything disabled:

View attachment 5375357

My screenshot didn't include this, but Camera and OnePlus Launcher are just below, too, despite me using a third party camera (OpenCamera) and launcher (Nova Launcher).

I disabled Google, disabled Assistant, and force killed and removed all permissions from Camera and OnePlus Launcher, and now I can keep 3 or even 4 apps in memory! Like, I can switch back and forth between GMail, Firefox, and Settings without any of them ever leaving memory.

I suspect my removing permissions on the other two apps didn't do a ton, so I think it was disabling Google that did the trick. Not having Google Assistant running 100% of the time must have opened up a lot of RAM....

Here's a fuller screenshot of my memory usage for the "past day" which includes a lot of time before I did this, and some time after:

View attachment 5375367

Here's a screenshot for the past 3 hours, which is entirely after I did this:

View attachment 5375695

I can't remember my exact total memory usage before, but I think it sat around 3.5GB. The change to behavior was immediate after disabling Google, but memory usage was still up to 3.2 / 3.7GB after a few hours. The next day, it's down to 2.5GB / 3.7GB.

I think disabiling Google and clearing those permissions somehow reduced System memory usage as well?

I suspect, like you said, we'll be able to get an even more effecient system with custom ROMs, and that might make it feasible to re-enable Google Assistant. But for now, this is a huge improvement and I'll be leaving it off.

This was not a very scientific post, but it made such a difference, I had to post it. Could someone else who's experiencing this try it, take full screenshots of the developer options -> app memory usage before and after and confirm if it's entirely Google which makes the difference?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Fishwithadeagle:
I'm currently seeing if I can disable the oneplus launcher, but it definitely seems to be breaking recents. Changing to nova launcher may possible reduce active ram utilization, although I'm not certain yet. Disabling the google assistant absolutely improved ram usage, so i'm keeping that off. I wish we could bind the gesture that brough up google assistant to just a general google search, but whatever at this point.

BTW, the best way to check active ram usage is under developer settings under running services.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Fishwithadeagle:
Update to previous post: I disabled quite literally everything I could, replaced stock camera with gcam, I'm still using the oneplus launcher for recents and I'm sitting between 1.4 and 1.6 gb free. This is including not including the 200mb the settings app is utilizing while open. As such, in reality, it should be idling closer to 1.6-1.8 gb. I currently have android os utilizing 1.4 gb, which is the area I'd love to get down as that is the biggest chunk of ram usage. Either way, there seems to be progress and I'll see how it runs over the coming days.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] daboross:
To be clear, I removed permissions from OnePlus Launcher, but I couldn't seem to find a way to actually disable it... So it's still running in the background on my phone, in addition to Nova Launcher. But I'm glad that helped, and than disabling Google helped for you too!
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Fishwithadeagle:
You can disable it via an adb command, however it removes the recents capability so you have to leave it running. Switching launchers nets you a total ram usage of 67mb for one plus laucher + whatever the other launcher is using, however it already uses 127 mb when the oneplus launcher is the main launcher basically making it a wash.

The phone is much improved, but even now the app management is definitely too severe imo

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
I have noticed that no matter what app it is , big in size like 500 mb + or small in size 5 mb , it takes multiple seconds to get installed.

It gets downloaded immediately and then it gets stuck in installing for about 7-8 seconds .

Did not used to happen on my iphone.

Did not see this thing in any android as well .

What are your views?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
It's normal for Exynos phones. It was the same on my s9+ and s10+. Just Samsung being lazy and not wanting to optimize.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
That is not the case with the s21. There are plenty of videos showing the exynos next to a snap and the speeds are the same.

Especially with the updates of the last months these speed issues are cleared out.

The guy having slower installations could be due to a 100 reasons and he has not specified enough info to rule in any conclusion.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
Ok, then all my Samsung phones must be defect, including my s21ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
Side by side with my Huawei p30 pro, I updated Samsung browser. It took 5 seconds on Huawei and 12 seconds on my s21 ultra. I uninstalled the update and reinstall. The second time, Huawei still took 5 seconds, but the 21ultra went up to 15 seconds. The 3rd time, 16 seconds for Samsung, still 5 for Huawei.

Huawei p30 pro has a 7nm SoC that was launched in 2018 vs a 5nm 2021 SoC on Samsung. What a shame for Samsung.

This the only problem I have with Exynos phones. Samsung couldn't care less about optimising app instalation process.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
If you are so certain it is exynos, at least try and explain how do you know that installations are so much faster on SNAP?

My s9+ was okay with installation speeds and my s21 is way faster.

I just tested and installed a 119mb APK, it took exactly 4 seconds for the installation to be completed trough a file manager.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
Read my previous post. It's not just Snapdragon. Uninstall the Samsung browser updates and reinstall. Tell me how long it takes. What was the 119mb app that you installed? So I can try on my ultra.

It's not just the size of the apk that matters, it's also what app you install. Some of them take much longer than others.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
It all boils down to pre-existing software and settings. Some may be user adjusted settings, and others are pre-adjusted ROM settings by the manufacturer. At the end of the day it could also be the playstore being different. And also security settings performing extra scans that slow the process down...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
So I updated my Samsung browser and it was an 80MB update, the moment it downloaded, it took 14 seconds to install.

Then I updated my Brave Browser and the download was 78MB, the installation was barely 2.5 seconds.

It likely also has to do with the way the app files are structured.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
This was my experience with my last 3 exynos Samsung phones. You can try and explain things, but the result is the same. Exynos is still slower in installing and updating apps, than Kirin or Snapdragon. I tried 3 different Google accounts, în case something was wrong with my old one and no change.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
The Google Play services (under GMS) is responsible for installation, not Samsung. And you just said it was not the type of CPU but software with this statement "Samsung couldn't care less about optimising app instalation process". Also, you are comparing an android version 10 phone to 11, the new Google Play services now support app bundles, delivery optimisation, instant play and various other changes to the installation process.

And you do not even know if the phone is Exynos and you are already blaming it. Look an issue, must be Exynos! Did you compare an Exynos vs Snapdragon S21? No you compared apples to oranges and got Exynos is the problem.

Do want to know the real reason? The malware scanning device care (under automation) slows it down, if you turn this off it's a lot faster.

You anti-Exynos people are like anti-vaxxers, "Did someone say Exynos?! Did you know that it is the number one cause of climate change! It is also responsible for the new delta strain of Covid!!!!".
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] babyboy3265:
Please do not speak poorly of people who have reservations regarding vax's. You do not know for a fact if they are right or wrong. Plenty of scientists have come out and expressed serious concerns about vax's, old and new, and it is a fact that big pharma suppresses what doesn't suit their interests.

Other than that, you are perfectly right about the comparison with oranges and apples and software functioning differently on different devices and OS versions.

Exynos is not to blame for climate change. At least not with the s21 series. Previous generation sucked a bit more, compared to Snaps.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
You drunk or something? 😃 I'm not anti-exynos, quite the opposite, look at my post history. 🙂

I don't even know it's Exynos? How is that? The OP phone is exynos and my phone is exynos and I compared it with kirin and Snapdragon phones. Not just s21, but s9+ and s10+ too. The other phones have that app scanning thing on too and it doesn't slow them down.

And a cpu can be optimize to run better through software uodates, wtf are you on about? I didn't say Exynos is a bad cpu.

Btw, I had my anti-covid vaccines months ago. 🙂
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
Also you...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
"This is the only problem I have with Exynos phones". I said that. Look 10 comments up. If I'm sharing my experience with my phones that I own, then I'm anti-Exynos and anti-vaxxer probably. 🤣🤣🤣

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Have you tried making a spreadsheet to track the app and the install time?

Then do a factory reset and reinstall the same apps and track the times in another column, to see how close the times are.

It could be the way software just is, like how when you have a fresh windows 10 installation, every app installs super fast, but after a while the registry gets cluttered and subsequent installs are slower.

maybe android is similar in how it just slows the software install process as you install more apps?

But I think this theory could also explain the bizarre behavior reported above, where the same exact app is installed/uninstalled but the time needed to perform early installs is less than the time needed for the later installs, even though it's the exact same app.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Use ApkExport

APK Export (Backup & Share) - Apps on Google Play

Manage and extract your apps.

play.google.com

Make installable copies of all user, system apks and their updates. Store on SD card or flashstick/PC/backup hdds.

Reloads are a snap, no Playstore or download lag. Takes me about 20 minutes to load 4-5 gb of apks on my 10+. Only exactly what I want loaded gets loaded. Works perfectly.

You get the apk version you want rather than what Playstore is dooling out or has removed.

Apple? Bah-ha-ha-ha... sucks. What boring and expensive devices iPhones truly are.

I made this thread for general discussion on the topic and you guys are fighting like cats and dogs.

Please dont do that and neither pass any personal statements.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
That still doesn't change the fact that Exynos is slower in installing apks, no matter the source.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Yeah, you're welcome
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I've noticed this too, app install times are longer On my current Samsung than on my wife's 3 year old OnePlus 6. No question installation as well as updates are slower on my S21U.

This is obviously not a processor related problem alone, as the 2100 is obviously more capable than the SD845 found on the OP6. There are ample metrics to prove that.

So it boils down to software. I'm assuming it has something to do with OneUI and setting up the app to work with the UI, especially with all the scaling, split screen, app management etc that OneUI overlays on the underlying Android base. But this is only a guess, and I'm not bothered by it enough to go researching into it.

My final take on it: I don't spend enough time on the app installation screen (watching apps install and update), for these few seconds to bother me or impact my experience with the phone. In fact, after initial setup, there are very few new apps that I install on a daily basis for these extra seconds to add up and bother me. And updates occur in the background automatically when on Wi-Fi, so I'm not even aware of that.

If I were to sit and put two different phones side by side and compare app installation, I might be able to establish a difference. But will it change the way I use my phone? I don't think so.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tobias14:
Well, I experience longer install times only since I activated device protection\auto scan for malware

Before this it was very fast, no matter which app, no matter if fresh install or update..

Exynos btw
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I have that turned off from day 1, but install times are still longer than on OnePlus. Maybe they get even slower with the device protection turned on, but I won't try it coz I don't think device protection adds any additional value (while draining resources)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
I was wrong about Exynos being the problem. Seems like sd888 version of s21U has the same "issue", so it's a Samsung software problem in general. I compared installation speeds of Exynos 2100 vs sd888 and the Snapdragon is faster, but on a different phone, not on Samsung. I don't have acces to a sd888 Samsung phone. My bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
It may be the top heavy Android OS slowing it down.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
Have you tried turning off the malware scanning in device care to see if the install speed improves?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Yes it does improoves the speed
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
Well, that confirms it's nothing to do with the type of processor and was a software "issue". If you don't mind the slower install I recommend leaving the scanner on.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
It is not a Samsung "issue" it is the malware security scanner which you can turn off in Device Care under Automation.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
I never turned that on.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
It is on by default. You have to turn it off.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
You mean this? That is off by default. Never touched it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
Device care -> (three dots top right) -> Automation -> Auto scan for malware

That setting that you talking about, only appears if you turn on device protection. That mcAfee garbage from my screenshot. They are related. Mine is turned off so that setting isn't there.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
Then you must be right when you said "Ok, then all my Samsung phones must be defect, including my s21ultra.".
