i stripped out a lot of apps. chrome, play store ar, calendar, digital wellbeing, pixel launcher (replaced with nova 7), gboard (replaced with openboard), safety, record, android auto (worthless i drive a 78 k10 and have a 2 knob radio), google support services (backdoor for google) and a few other useless apps that i can't think of at the moment. all can be removed once rooted with magisk and i use system tools android (the only app i have found that removes them and not hides them) to strip out the system apps. i use greenify (gotta get the beta from app mirror to use it on 12) to kill the apps as soon as the screen shuts off. i loaded fsociety tribute kernel. no tweaks i think i bumped the max cpu 24 mhz just to smooth it out a little more. i don't use the phone a lot. connected to wifi most of the time. gone from 100% to 77% in 22hrs about. i have only had the rom installed for a little over 24hrs. the battery drain seems about the same as stock. i did a dirty flash of my build of pixel experience and had to reroot in that 22hrs. so most of that 22hrs is standby time. mostly i check my miner and the price of crypto every so often and clean up my junk emails.

i guess i will know more as the week goes on. i usually get about two days of my type of usage before i get down to about 36% or so and charge again.

my main reason for switching is because i could not update any apps on the stock rom. if i updated messages. the keyboard would disappear or not show up. just before i flashed to this one. i would get the text message notice and when i went to the app. there was no new message. i would have to close and reopen the app to see the message, maps if i started a nav and because i use 3 button gestures. i couldn't close maps when i was done or it would split screen and hang up so you couldn't use the phone. phone and contacts app would work about 1/2 the time. camera app i would be lucky if it opened. problem with all of these apps for me have been going on since the A11 first release. i kept flashing new stock rom after stock rom hoping they would fix their garbage rom. that never happened. it got worse not better each factory rom flash. not really a LineageOS fan. nothing wrong with it. just its on A11 and the unoffical twrp seems to work a lot better on an A12 so i figured i would give this one a shot.

Anyone else having any form of A12/L/QPR3/ROM reduce their WiFi features down to just a toggle that, in true Google fashion, doesn't seem to toggle anything??

Updated to 2022/3/30 build using updater. Stuck at 50% finalizing update. After uninstalling Magisk finalizing update was completed. Reinstalling and patching boot.img to get root back caused boot loop. What did I do wrong?

EDIT: forgot to add that used factory img from previous February build to patch. Do boot.img change every build?
[Google Pixel 5a] fackstrot:
The question is, there are headphones, they have support for aptx adaptiv, a Google pixel 5a phone, the processor supports the codec, but there is no support in the system, can the PE developer include this codec in the firmware?
[Google Pixel 5a] Esb1809:
I'm not affiliated with PE ROM in any way, other than posting the link to give people an option besides LOS18.1, so that'd be a question for the dev(s).

I know there were a few Magisk modules floating around on Github but support for A12+ would be the kicker, could be a quick fix...

**Also PE+ should drop any day now for the Pixel 5a but haven't had time to actually read up on what's different with PE vs PE+**
[Google Pixel 5a] rchris494:
you probably would get a better answer to that question in their telegram group. as this thread is started by a regular user not one of their developers.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gettinwicked:
So, I'm having trouble figuring out how to change the notification sound per app? Everything leads to the sounds settings which only seems to let you pick ONE sound for ALL notifications (with the exception of those that come with their own). What am I missing here? Am I just blind lol? I swear I can do this on my tab s7 (it's out for screen repair so I can't check for sure).

Let me know if I'm missing something here.

Bonus points: how can I make the sounds settings see Google sounds? I installed the app, but they don't show. I'm sure there is probably an extra step I'm missing.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gettinwicked:
Nevermind, I figured it out. Just have to dig deeper into the notifications in the app info..

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] FlavioMadeira:
Hello to all,

After my Galaxy S10+ Exynos updated to Android 12 One UI 4.0, the camera recording video started to get some sort of lag or image "freezes" (it's hard to explain, English is not my main language) using a FHD 60 resolution and the video stabilizer and HDR turned on. The video recordings used to be completely smooth with these settings before the update.

I would like to ask all of you if any one is having the same problem, or if can anyone test these settings so I can try to figure out if this is an update limitation or anything else.

Tips beside factory reset will also be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance and really hope someone can help me.

Cheers to all,

Flávio

Trying to update a game with a 1+ GB update and after roughly 15 seconds the screen dims then shortly shuts off putting the phone into standby. Why is this a thing? When watching videos or actually playing a game it doesn't do this. Game Genie should have an option to stop the phone from going to sleep while in a game.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rob!n:
Main priority is battery life. Budget is not the issue. Kinda inclined towards s21u design too. But confused about getting the newer thing.

Any thoughts?

(S pen matters little to none)

Snapdragon
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] redpoint_:
Exynos has had a history of being worse than Snapdragon, especially battery life. Recently there has been news of some S22 Ultra Exynos devices having display issues. I would recommend getting the Snapdragon variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dayuser:
S22 Ultra Snapdragon (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rob!n:
Yea. Read that about 2200 exynos. But i am asking about exynos 2100 with snapdragon 8gen 1. I guess s21u is more efficient. Aint it the case?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dayuser:
Overoll i think Snapdragon is better but that new Snapdragon 8 gen 1 getting really hot in gaming or heavy camera use.

Here is one thread about it.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] DS1000RR:
Battery life was something you listed as important. The S22U is getting panned for it's bad battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] highlightshadow:
Snapdragon S22U i would buy in a heartbeat if Samsung offered it in the UK

I get barely over 500k on Antutu ... S22U snapdragon is close to 900k-1m

Plus the ISP is better on SD

Battery life is better

There's literally NO benefit in any catagory for Samsung in which the Exynos wins

It's a terminally failed experiment
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rob!n:
Exactly. And s21 exynos has better battery life than s22u snapdragon. (Source. YouTube videos)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dayuser:
But Snapdragon models has better idle battery performance than Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Aaron78:
Exynos if you want to root your phone. SnapDragon for better performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rob!n:
Agreed. Its not just about exynos and snapdragon. Its also about s21u or s22u.

Its just s21u was came with exynos in my region and s22u with snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rob!n:
If you could shed some more light about what you said. (I am very much comfortable with rooting and custom roms)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] rob!n:
I feel for you. S22u exynos is worse even from s21u exynos. And obviously bad from its snapdragon counterpart. Gladly my region switched from exynos to snapdragon with 21 to 22 this year
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] highlightshadow:
It's just so disrespectful to customers.... 1 product, 2 variants, both same price but with year-on-year proving inferiority in ISP, GPU and battery for Exynos

I'm done with Samsung, gonna get Oppo i reckon.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] DS1000RR:
I've been considering a fruit branded phone for a few months, going to wait and see what the fruit phone 14 looks like.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
So, is Oppo any better? As long as you have variety in Android, it will be difficult to settle down on a single brand/ model. Well, that's both the pro and con of Android. If you want consistent performance, battery life, look, and can live with a pre-historic design as well as with a 2-year-old tech, then Apple is the only way forward.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] highlightshadow:
I really want an S22 ultra --- i like everything about it's positives but the negatives at the moment are just too overwhelming to justify spending almost £1300 on a device that's again worse than it's sibling.

My S21U has become really bad this past couple months since the Android 12 upgrade... even did a factory reset and setup the phone again clean (pain to have to do) but it's no better.

My antutu scores are far worse than even another Exynos 2100 phone (i get around 550000, others get anywhere from 600000-750000). Similar story on most benchmarks, i get significantly down scores in every aspect, i juyst have a bad bin chip but since it's not faulty Samsung wouldn't touch it.

Games stutter really bad, i have to turn down settings on most games that run flawlessly on my wife's OnePlus 9Pro

I agree that Android is what it is -- but I'm done with Exynos ... until they give us the choice of SOC in UK i'm not giving them more money.

I had an S21 Ultra Exynos when it came out and it lasted about 2/3 months before i got so frustrated with it.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] ItsDavidTubeHD:
I have a situation now. When I first got this phone, it was stuck in a firmware that is not from TMK/TMB. Here is what I have vs what it's intended because I don't get any updates since I am stuck on the April 2021 update. It had a Metro By T-Mobile SIM inserted which converted the CSC to TMK (I forgot the original one, but according to the Phone Info app its XAA but the triple code says TMK/TMK/VZW.

Intended TMK/TMB firmware:

G975USQU5GUCG (March 2021 update)

What I got

G975USQU5GUCH (which is Verizon/USC/Comcast/Xfinity only)

However the update for the May 2021 patch is the same:

G975USQU5GUE2

I tried flashing the TMK update but it instantly failed the moment it started (thankfully it didn't break my phone). However, how am I supposed to get the right firmware for the CSC? Thank You...
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Vildar:
Hello everyone. I have just recently updated/flashed/done something to my phone to the Artemis Touch 4.02. Great rom so i have seen, no complaints with it. (Unsure what the proccess is actualy called.)

Only setback i have is that files i recive by bluetooth go straight to my main memory. What i would like to do is to have it go straight to my micro sd card, and to have a progress bar showing me the status.

I have tried a few programs.

DrYAR Bluetooth manager 1.5: Does what i need, but seems to be a little unstable. Sometimes freezes or will not connect to most phones.

DrYAR Bluetooth manager 1.6: Works great, only problem, if constently asks for every bit of the file you recive. So if its set to auto recive, theres alot of beeping going on.

DrYAR Bluetooth manager 2.0: I have seen this version somewhere, but i cant seem to download it

BT Tools: Dosnt seem to have many options.

Enable A2DP:Not sure where i got this from, but i had it from when i had a MDA Compact II. Worked for what i needed then. Dosnt seem to work on this one.

Broadcom Bluetooth Manager:Looks fantastic, many options to mess around with, but it just wount run on my device. Says there is not enogh memory to turn on bluetooth.

Is there any way i might make the first or last options work well, or is there another app i can try? So far it is a pain to move them over. I would like to keep the internal memory as free as possible.

Any more information you want do let me know.

PS Sorry for any spelling errors.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kautilya:
Well, I use moBlu as well on my Artemis & it works well. For it to work, you need to launch it before receiving a transfer via Bluetooth. You can set it up in its settings to make your phone discoverable when you launch the app & disconnect bluetooth when app is closed. And in the filters you will find 2-3 default filters, just select the "*.*" filter & set the location to a folder on your card. You can delete the other two filters or edit them & also add more if you want. They are file extension filters so if any file you are receiving matches them the filter will be applied & your file will be automatically stored in that specified filter folder.

It's just insane to use dead animals for decorating. Just my 2c...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
To be fair, some animals that are sick or old and will die "anyway" ... should be used for industrial purposes, meaning their bodies shouldn't go to waste. We have a butcher in our city that, for example, offers horse meat - but only from the ones that need to be culled for medical reasons, or age, or being euthanized for behavioral reasons.

The problem is when animals are raised/bred in masses only to get slaughtered to benefit from their bodies without giving the animals a chance at a good life (e.g. mink coat, that's just barbarous).

So in the first case, I personally have no problem with animals getting "stripped" off their resources - but in the second case, I'd stand behind you and your assesment. At least that's my opinion.

The problem, of course, is that it's very hard to differentiate - most leather products do not disclose the origin of their materials. So in general it's probably a wiser move to abstain from leather products, except when you can verify its origin.

In the end, of course it's a moral question. Especially in the western world we have no problem breeding and culling pigs and cows, even though they are breathing, feeling, emotional animals just like all the others, whilst most feel horror when hearing a horse, a dog or a cat getting culled to be eaten, or be produced in any way. That's mainly a "luxury" problem, since we can afford to not use all the available animals to satisfy our needs, whilst other countries in the world need to process all their resources (including animals) to feed their civilizations. It's a hypocritical issue, but in the end the human benefit will always outweigh the animal one, since they have no voice of their own.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Deleted member 739586:
I agree to your arguments. Nevertheless, I appreciate anything that makes mass slaughtering less attractive. There are loads of "vegan leather" variants available for multiple purposes, that are miles ahead of common fake leather in terms of quality, haptics etc.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)] CyraxMD:
Hello everybody,

I have phone Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)

I have succesfuly unlocked bootloader. I wish to use GSI installed via DSU Loader and i managed to boot default GSI room offered by system this way.

Also i have used app "DSU Sideloader" and succesfuly managed to boot lineageOS GSI.

The issue is when i root the phone. (classic boot.img extraction from stock rom, modification of the boot.img within Magisk aplication, than flash modified boot.img via adb tools)

After flashing modified boot.img i can no longer boot GSI, boot process will stop on MIUI screen. Stock ROM is working fine (rooted or not rooted)

When i flash original boot.img everything is working fine but phone is not rooted.

Is there any fix for this problem? I wish to have phone rooted AND use GSI

After countless hours of searching over internet i have not found topic related to this specific issue.

Also I have tried

fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification boot boot.img

and modified vbmeta.img

fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

no difference

But i have no idea what is holding back boot.... any help would be much appreciated

GSI related info:

Treble and VNDK - device supported

Architecture ARM64

A/B operating system

Dynamic Partitions

Talking about working GSI is there anybody which managed to install GAPPS on GSI installed via DSU? Is that even possible? how without twrp recovery?

i know that GSIs with preinstalled gapps exists i just want modular approach and install just google apps which i use.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)] CyraxMD:
I have found that resizing GSI system partition could help flash gapps via Ex Kernel Manager directly from the phone.

My big question is if you can resize GSI system partition without TWRP? since Note 2021 does not support recovery, if yes how?

Or can you actually set bigger system partition than system image with this command ? --el KEY_SYSTEM_SIZE $(du -b system_raw.img|cut -f1) \

(following manual steps for gsi installation)

adb shell setprop persist.sys.fflag.override.settings_dynamic_system true

adb shell am start-activity \

-n com.android.dynsystem/com.android.dynsystem.VerificationActivity \

-a android.os.image.action.START_INSTALL \

-d file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/system_raw.gz \

--el KEY_SYSTEM_SIZE $(du -b system_raw.img|cut -f1) \

--el KEY_USERDATA_SIZE 8589934592

what would be number for 20GB size in this command? --el KEY_USERDATA_SIZE 8589934592 how i can write it correctly?

i have enough space to assign big userdata partition.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)] vegan_monk:
Nice work man. Surely makes life easier for many, but in my case:

I followed all of the steps. After the GSI installation i tapped on reboot on the notification field and it rebooted into fastboot. I can not enter the GSI aswell as the recovery. Only fastboot and MIUI ROM :(

I installed MIUI13 from official sources via ./flash_all.sh inside the MIUI13 Recovery folder some days ago. I've done this because i think i soft bricked my device or messed with the partitions before, because i tried to flash a system image directly to the 'super' partition, becasue no fastbootd.
