[Samsung Galaxy S22] xjust:
foe me its not worth loosing waranty and features from one ui. check the other threads with my attempts

final version for exynos s22 is this:

i recommend galaxy max hz. didnt even touch the refresh rates.

use doze settings with all sensors off. im back to s21 6hr sot using this method.

also turn wifi off when screem off untill samsung fixes the firmware. i use a few tasker profiles and kwgt/nova launcher. without them i think the drain would be even lower. standby drain is under 1%/h

slight debloat and degoglify the phone . use the apps you need only :)

good luck and come back with the results
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Maciek602:
Does the doze settings disable push notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] xjust:
yes.it delays then. but you can skip doze for the apps you need notifications instantly by disabling battery optimization for those apps
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
Indeed, take out the trash...

You'll just lose functionality by going to a generic OS. One UI, the spen, the cams are big reasons people buy Samsung's. This phone is not Samsung's best effort but that doesn't mean it can't be optimized into something that runs a lot better then it is now... without updates.

Play with it and find your own workarounds.

Once you learn how to optimize that OS version, stay on it unless the upgrade is proven good and adds substantial value to your device's mission.

Don't except token trinket upgrades that cost you lost time and device usability/functionality.

[G1 Android Development] Koush:
long now = SystemClock.elapsedRealtime();
long nextPrompt = getNextPromptTime(intent, now);
if (nextPrompt == 0) {
Log.i(TAG, "Installing overdue OTA update without prompting");
installUpdate();
return;
}

Basically, getNextPromptTime determines the prompt interval and number of prompts to show. So Google can potentially never prompt and just install without asking permission.

If you want to keep root access, I highly recommend doing the following to disable OTA updates:

Go to a root prompt.

Type the following:

# mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cd system

# cd etc

# cd security

# mv otacerts.zip otacerts.zip.bak

# mv cacerts.bks cacerts.bks.bak

That should disable cert checking by disabling (renaming) all the certs on the device. Someone please verify, but I'm pretty sure those are the certs that are checked.

Alternatively, you can follow the instructions to mod your recovery and boot images:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443041

I have confirmed that leaving a shroot/suroot laying around will not work, as Google formats the system partition and resets all permissions upon an update:

format SYSTEM:
set_perm 0 3004 02755 SYSTEM:bin/ping

In addition, it is not possible to put the shroot/suroot in another partition besides system, as those are all reverted to noexec or nosuid upon reboot.

/dev/block/mtdblock5 /data yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /cache yaffs2 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0 /sdcard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=0711,dmask=0700,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,utf8 0 0

Anyone know where the underlying update code is? I've only seen the Java front end (/packages/apps/Updater).
[G1 Android Development] HagbardCelineII:

[G1 Android Development] IronWolve:
Might want to move telnetd to something, so an app doesnt call it and get root, if you dont want the patch. Also copy sh to something so you can get root, and remove the permissions on sh

Not sure if suid on sh is needed for anything, so beware...
[G1 Android Development] RyeBrye:
moving telnetd is not necessary, moving cacerts is dumb

Moving telnetd is not necessary, because telnetd does not become root, nor is it setuid root. The bug was that a root shell was listening on the keyboard (so if you type reboot on your phone while the android is pulsing or after you boot - the phone reboots)

Moving the cacerts will make ALL SSL stuff to work incorrectly because you no longer have a list of trusted root authorities.

The only good long-term solution is to reflash your recovery... etc
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
hmm

the updates are downloaded to /cache what if we touch "nameofupdatefile" or lock down /cache completely and that may prevent updates
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
or

or we could create a script that kills the update app, deletes any zip files every couple minutes in /cache ;)
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
My phone gave me an update notification, I immediately killed the com.android.update process then cd /cache ; rm signed-RC30-from-RC29-fat.1582cace.zip then sudo busybox touch signed-RC30-from-RC29-fat.1582cace.zip then rebooted, and so far no more update notification or update process started
[G1 Android Development] PAO1908:
Did it, I will inform you what happened....
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
for some reason signed-RC30-from-RC29-fat.1582cace.zip got deleted, possibly ln -s /dev/null signed-RC30-from-RC29-fat.1582cace.zip will work
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
The recovery and boot images both get replaced by patches.

Incidentally, I haven't been prompted yet to update. Has anyone else who followed my instructions gotten prompted? I'll be able to work on a patched update when I get back to work, I've got several G1s at my disposal.
[G1 Android Development] PAO1908:
@koush

I did the modifications you mentioned at the begin of the thread, now I want to update to RC30 with the jesus method. Is it necessary to undo the changes I made with your method ? If yes, what do I have to do exactly ?

thanks a lot
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
You shouldn't have to, since Jesus has a full update, but you should anyways just to be safe.

Basically, just move the files back:

# mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cd system

# cd etc

# cd security

# mv otacerts.zip.bak otacerts.zip

# mv cacerts.bks.bak cacerts.bks
[G1 Android Development] PAO1908:
thanks koush, I will try it !

[General Topics] mz3r0:
I've seen various terms thrown around, such as super AMOLED, Fluid AMOLED, Apple LTPO, Samsung LPTO 2.0, Dynamic AMOLED 2X, LTPO2 Fluid AMOLED. Where can I learn more about these? I'm still a noob, so I only know the basic advantages and functionality of say, amoled and super amoled compared to older display tech, but I want to learn even more. For example I've been struggling to find how different exactly is Apple's LPTO from Samsung's.

Most importantly, which display technology has the perfect combination of power consumption, RR, color accuracy and resolution?
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA 🤗

The Beast has a near perfect fixed refresh rate display that eats any Apple and likely all of the newer* variable refresh rate displays alive.

All variable refresh rate AMOLED displays are harder to color/gamma calibrate and suffer as a result to a greater or lesser extent.

What you want to learn is multifaceted and spans many different disciplines of science. It's a very steep learning curve. As you progress you'll see what I mean.

Take just color calibration, alone it can take a week and more to begin to appreciate it's complexity. Take a piece at a time and use Google searches. Here's one excellent site, Canon, Nike and B&H Photo have excellent primers gear more towards cams and color calibration/throughput. They all come together and each one influences/effects the others.

Color calibration is a big deal on smartphones, if the Android manufacturer didn't do it right, it will never be right. Apples can be color calibrated with 3rd party apps like Spyder I believe but have limited display capabilities. The N10+ marks the zenith, so far, in Android color calibration and throughput as best I know.

*full tests aren't out yet, but the writing's on the wall.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] arsenal74:
Smudged detail, really not great. I had the find x5 pro for a while before returning it and there really is no comparison. Quite disappointed.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] jmikepr:
Really not sure about keeping the phone. On one hand I actually like the fake OxygenOS basically ColorOS. The phone software feels very very polished relative to other androids. Almost like a non buggy MIUI. But the PWM flicker is pretty bad.

Cameras seem fine in my limited testing. Although OnePlus has always taken a couple months to fix their cameras.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
I've taken some great pics so far...as with any phone the situation sometimes requires you to alter some settings, that's what pro modes for.

This phone will come good, the hardwares just too good to not exploit with some good ROMs.

I was hesitant at first comparing it to my 8 pro but I'm so in now..
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Ultimatum99:
Totally agree!
[OnePlus 10 Pro] arsenal74:
in good light the camera is fine, it is medium to low light where I am seeing a drop off vs say the S22 or Pixel. For example seems pretty bad for smudging fur detail on pets.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Have you tried the other settings in manual mode ?

As a point and shoot it'll get better but if you expect the world without any work it's just not going to happen mate. Not Vs an S22. I mean that's an expensive phone, it should be better, the pixel is using the base software and it's Google again it should be better..

That being said I'm positive I can get better than any point and shoot camera phone with this phone
[OnePlus 10 Pro] galaxys:
This camera 📸 has a lot of features, settings, and cool 😎 picture possibilities....Hasselblad ftw
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Trickster69:
What I have learnt from experience with phones is to now buy it for the camera , I will just get one mirror less camera which will last longer than any camera phones for a long time
[OnePlus 10 Pro] arsenal74:
I think it is only in comparison to the competition that it falls short. My torture test for any new phone is photos of our cats indoors and I am seeing more smudging and a less clwean image than the Pixel of S22 Ultra offers and yes I have owned both and still actually have the S22U.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Try some different settings. Smudges may occur due to HDR being on and a slight movement, could just be the software that OnePlus has made. It could just need a few updates which I'm sure may occur.

ISO could be too high too.

Use pro mode, set the shutter speed as low as possible Vs an ISO of 200-800, should help...find the sweet spot depending on the light you have.. it's manual but honestly my pics come out better when I have control. My DSLR I'd never let the camera choose for me..
[OnePlus 10 Pro] gagan007:
There was a poll on phonearena with blind camera test (users were asked to vote for best picture of same scene clicked by S22, iPhone13 Pro, OP 10 Pro and Pixel 6 Pro without knowing which phone clicked which picture)... OP sucked major balls and came in last :(

I got my OP10 Pro today...anyway I did not buy it for camera

View attachment 5593549
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Kamlesh96:
Yeah, sometimes it is bad if there is very low light OnePlus should give an update for this along with the security patch!
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Again this is point and shoot.

Ask any actual photographer if they rely on automatic lens settings, the vast majority will say no they won't so why would you rely on it for your phone? They all have the capability yet we tend to believe some plum who's pointings and shooting? Makes no sense to me

I'm not saying that the results are incorrect as I've not used them phones, but relying on this test is testing one thing and that's the automatic settings chosen by the software on the phone.

That's it.

Give all these phones to a photographer and get them to use settings based on the scene they have Infront of them, then check the results, I think you'll see a different outcome
[OnePlus 10 Pro] arsenal74:
For the record I used to be a photographer for a living in a previous life. I almost always though just use my phone in auto mode as a point and shoot, have just never embraced manual mode (or even Av mode for that matter) on a phone.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
I take a lot of astro photograph's, both with my DSLR / telescope and purpose built astro camera.. but also my phone.

I need to change some things when I take a night shot, especially of the sky.

I think if you give it a shot (no pun intended) you'll be surprised at the results.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] vandal4e:
it will take months before sensor potential is used at its fullest with Gcam, and everyone knows these have infinite issues with white balance etc for years, so those kind of flagships won't ever shoot close to what cheaper older flagships can already do after years of gcam configs development
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
I agree besides gcam, it's just unstable, things not working like wide angle, slow motion.

But for a point and shoot it's the simpler option.

I think Vs pro mode you'd get better on the stock app.

Defo agree on updates helping
[OnePlus 10 Pro] vandal4e:
oneplus explicitly stated they remove access to aux cameras in OOS12, no one pays flagship price for a point and shoot and nevermind what comes out at the end experience, u can do that on a 200$ Xiaomi and get 95% satisfaction for social media and casual browsing on large screens

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] JesusCrisp:
Hello guys,

Well it's all in the title... my AOD turns green, and also when I charge my phone.

I just made a clean wipe and flashed a boot image and clean os 4 V2.1. This is the only issue everything else works well.

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance !
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Is that the only thing effected?

If so I wouldn't worry about it, green is more visible to the human eye anyway.

If no one else has it, you could reflash to the same version, a minor firmware corruption.

If it persists after the reflash it may indicate a hardware failure. One or two of the millions of semiconductors may have failed.

If that's all that's effected... I wouldn't sweat it.

If it progresses to new issues then I would be concerned... or if you just hate green🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] JesusCrisp:
Ahahah thank you for your answer :) I tried reflashing yes and everything else works fine. But yeah il bothers me because the whole screen turns green/Brown snow (somewhat like old TVs but green and Brown instead of Black and White) and AOD is not usable at all. I just deactivated it for now and like you told me, i didnt sweat it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
^Sorry to hear this!^

I see you're point. If under warranty have it serviced. The new variable refresh rate displays are failing at a higher rate than they should across the board. Maybe the display or the mobo... if you send it to Samsung, take detailed photos the day you box it up. Double box it securely and insure the box.

I don't trust Samsung and neither should you! Too many stories out there to be just a coincidence. Strikingly you never hear these kind of stories about Canon factory service for cameras...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Guides, News, & Discussion] Kantazu:
Maybe I'm too late....I realized this issue a few days ago on my Note 20 Ultra. It received OneUI 5.1 recently and it didn't occur immediately, at least I didn't notice it. What I found out is you must turn OFF "auto brightness" in AOD settings and put it manually on the highest level or one below... then it won't go green(ish). And that part when charging, happens also when the AOD is OFF or when ON and auto brightness ON and it's dark. So basically, the lower brightness levels are the problem.

For now it's just the AOD, but I had some experiences with other Samsung and OnePlus phones generally when you are low in brightness the screen goes green or partial green...so for now it's just AOD on this one and it's still usable when you do like I said above. Cheers

I have TWRP installed, and have managed to run it a few times. Now I cannot start TWRP at all.

From off, if I switch on, the following happens:

1) Screen with Samsung Galaxy A70 - Secured by Knox

2) 0.5 seconds later another screen, "this phone's bootloader is unlocked and it software integrity. .." and "press power key to continue..."

3) 5 seconds later, same screen as (1)

4) 3 seconds later, red letters "this phone is not running Samsung's official software"

5) 3 seconds later blank screen with "samsung" and then booting to android.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] mobin22:
In my experience I have to flash twrp every time I want to use it( I don't know the reason but I couldn't fix it ) , for booting twrp on the other hand I turn off the phone first, then I press power button+volume down until the "this phones bootloader..." screen appears, here is the tricky part, you have to quickly let go of these two buttons, press power button, let go of the power button (after the warning disappeared) and then press volume down button (and hold it) until twrp logo appears, this happens really fast so you may need to do it a few times to get used to it.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Zilliman:
Yes, same here, the only time I have managed to run TWRP on this phone, is right after a flash.

Do you mean volume down?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] MarvinMod:
Power off the device, plug into a pc, wait for it to start charge, hold vol up and power till it turns on. Wala boots to twrp. If you have magisk installed,you can use the reboot option within magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] MarvinMod:
Samsung changed how to enter recovery on Android 11. Power off device, plug into pc, wait for it to charge, then hold vol up and power till it turns on. Alternatively, if you have magisk installed, use the reboot options within magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Zilliman:
I did that. Thanks!

But it has gone to:

Android Recovery

Samsung /a70qxx/a70q

11/RP1A.200720.012./A705FNXXUB5DVB3

user/release-keys

Use volume up/down and power.

Reboot system now

Reboot to bootloader

Apply update from ADB

Apply update from SD card

Wipe date/factory reset

...

...

...

Where is TWRP? It seems it's gone.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] MarvinMod:
That's because you're not installing it properly go back to my guide and follow it exactly and stop listening to these other people. I've been modding this device since it first came out with Android 9, I know every inch of this device. You're getting confused by what other people are telling you
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Zilliman:
It fails here, on this step. After successful flash of recovery.tar, power + vol down to reboot, cable still connected, nothing you can do now can bring TWRP up. The phone boots into Android.

EDIT: I think I have now got it. I will update in a few mins.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] MarvinMod:
After successful flash of recovery.tar, power and vol down to reboot, as soon as the phone screen goes blank, immediately release all keys and press and hold vol up. Must be as soon as screen goes blank. The device will then reboot twice and land you in twrp splash screen. You must hit vol down and power after successful flash then when screen blanks, vol up. If you miss this step, twrp will not hold and revert back to stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Zilliman:
Here is the notes I made today:

****************************************************************

INSTALL + START TWRP

phone is off

press up + dn

insert cable

go into download (press up)

ODIN 3.14 + AP:tar(vbmeta.img+twrp.img), auto reboot off, press upload

when it succeeds, press dn + pwr until it reboots

then quickly up + pwr until it starts (no need to hold down)

this starts in TWRP

from powered off

press pwr button

goes into twrp or android(system) -- depending on what was used last time

if we used reboot->system last time it will now **Always** go into system!

to go back into twrp:

switch off

power cable until charge

pwr + up until it starts

****************************************************************

The above means that you CANNOT go back to TWRP unless you have a cable and a PC near by.
