[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Here at XDA, a lot of times, newer versions of android are available to the developers here before it is released to the public and the community here gets a taste of ROMs made from the new versions before everyone else in the world does. When this happens depends on when Google decides to release beta releases of the new versions. It is more a matter of what and when Google does things than it is a matter of when and what XDA does.

I have recently rooted my phone. Can anyone please recommend some good modules as i am new to rooting.

So far i am able to tweak google dialer to enable call screening and call recording.

Call hold and direct my call do not activate.

Any other good magisk or xposed modules?

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] LordLugard:
Please bear with me if this seems like the dumbest post in the world.

Ok, so right up until a few weeks ago, i loved the split screen feature on my phone. It was as easy as hitting the square button on the bottom, choosing split screen on one app, app folds itself up creating a space below, and then selecting another app to share the screen with. Easy peezee. Could have a video playing in VLC while perusing rss feeds in Newsfold, either on top of one another in portrait mode or side by side in landscape etc. Even my long dead grandmama could do this.

Fast forward to one day last month, i download some usual pixel update prompted by phone, only to discover my oft used split screen is now no more, but now "split top". It doesn't split the screen like it used to do, and i can't figure out how this split top thing is supposed to work. Plus it always says "Pixel Launcher keeps stopping" after several attempts to use the split top function, which is indicating that Pixel Launcher has crashed. But i din't use Pixel Launcher or have it as my default, i've always used Nova Launcher.

Basically i was doing just fine until whatever this update (which i am assuming is 12L) that has ruined split screen for me.

Is there a way to go back to the old split screen way? Or, how the heck do you split screen with this "split top"? I searched around the web and can't seem to find a solution.

I'm really not enjoying my device or being as productive as i used to be.

Hello @LordLugard I just registered to reply here.

After wasting so much time trying to fix this bug on my end, and several factory resets where it didn't fail at the beginning but then it eventually did, I found the solution on another post of a different forum:

-Turn ON system animations.

That's it. That's how it got solved. If you turn them off, the new split screen doesn't work at all. I'm afraid this must be an Android 12.1 bug because I had the exact same bug in a Poco F2 Pro with Lineage 19.1 and Trebuchet as launcher, so it's not phone model specific, not ROM specific, and not even launcher specific.

I hope this helps someone
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] LordLugard:
Thanks for the reply.

Where would you "Turn ON system animations"?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Deleted member 12160633:
I have it in:

"Settings/Accessibility/Text And Display/Remove Animations"

I had this switch on (meaning no animations), what caused split screen to crash. Turning it off solved it.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] LordLugard:
Hmmm, doesn't work for me. Mine was already in the "OFF" position.

What the heck was ever wrong with the old simple way? It just worked.

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Deleted member 12160633:
Bummer, sorry that it didn't help. It just did for me.

I don't think so, but maybe you activated Developer options, and then changed the value of the animations scales?

Just to discard animation related settings.

I'm afraid I'm of no help beyond that
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] LordLugard:
Well, what do you know...a bit of success.

Since time immemorial, i've always turned off animations in Developer Options to 0, as i do not care for all the fluffy visuals.

So on a whim i decided to tinker and set it to the lowest value, 0.5x, and that seems to work now. But the implementation is so much different than the old way, will take some getting used to. The old method was so much better.

Thanks for the input.

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Deleted member 12160633:
I'm glad it helped at the end!

I fully agree on everything, I don't want animations either, but we're stuck with them if we want split screen as long as they keep this bug...

Also not a fan of this new and worse split screen method. You press Home and both apps are gone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AQuirkyZ:
Hello, good day to you, thank you for reading this and attempting to help me, here's what happened:

My Tecno Phantom X slipped into the bathtub from the charging port side, I took it out, dried it, opened it dried it from the inside with medicinal alcohol, left it in the sun for an hour or so, wouldn't turn on, nor charge, so I left it open for 24h, then it started holding a charge, turned on fine and everything except that the fingerprint sensor wouldn't work at all not even show in menu, a few hours later it started randomly turn off, literally randomly, could be in 5 mins or 20, could be when the display is on or not, sometimes it would restart or just turn off OR when it's in the recovery or fastboot screen, so I figured it could be something software, tried soft reset and hard reset, nothing.. I unlocked the booatloader, rooted the phone and attempted to flash a stock rom, SP flash tool would always give me the same error "status brom cmd send da fail" so I tried with ADB, I screwed things up, I flashed with fastboot flash recovery sth.img. Afterwards, it would either show the battery without percentage, or boot into "Tecno, powered by Android" and be stuck there, SP Flash tool gives me the same error as before but still detects it, ADB does NOT detect it whatsoever, I have tried so many things, nothing worked, any help would be really appreciated

Thank you for your time and attention,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA, water victim🤗

You need resolve the water issue first.

Only anhydrous 99% isopropyl alcohol as a drying agent. NEVER use this on a LCD display as it will poison and destroy it.

Likely the phone wasn't completely dry.

Disconnect the battery. Always do this ASAP when there is water contamination.

Reflush with anhydrous isopropyl alcohol, get as much as the alcohol out of it as possible. If the alcohol gets in between the display and the glass it will leave a water mark.

Clean low pressure (5-10psi) air can be used, carefully!!!

Otherwise use centrificule force to fling it out.

Place on end with a fan blowing on it in a warm, dry room for at least 72 hours. The ribbon connector plugs must be completely dry, removing can speed things but be careful not to damage them. The mobo is also suspectable to ESD damage when out of circuit ie ribbon cable unplugged.

USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT! Adjust according to what you see.

Only after it's completely dry can you do a damage assessment.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Also bare in mind the CPU and maybe other chipsets are BGA's [ball grid arrays).

Their dozens of solder pads are under the chipset with only a very thin gap, the perfect place for water to be trapped. If present this must be completely evaporated... that takes time.

Some heat up to 120F is ok but don't go too nuts.

Keep the display out of direct sunlight.

Samsung Weather widget on A52s not auto updating after April security update. I cleared the Weather app cache, removed and then re-added the widget but to no avail. Anyone facing the same issue?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Ray Adams:
Hello

I have upgraded my Tab S7 to Tab S8. And I have expected new device be much faster and smoother, but what I found that games are really lagging! It was perfectly smooth on S7 but not on S8. Game mode does not help much. I do not play a log of games on this tablet as I used it mostly for developement, but I do play Harry Potter Puzzle and Spells and this game lags pretty bad on S8.

What can be done to fix it or should I wait for Samsung to release update? I do know about Samsung's throttling on S8 devices but I never expect it to be that bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Ray Adams:
And in addition (don't want to open another thread) it seems that S8 has more aggressive memory settings because it unloads apps from memory over time. Which never happened on S7. S8 has more memory and I think it should keep more opened apps, not reloading them. And yes, settings in developer section (do not keep activities) is not enabled
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Jake.S:
This has to do to android 12, s7 was only on android 11, but also is on 12 now. So then it automatically puts apps into deep sleep. You can remove that under battery settings area and remove apps from deep sleep mode.

About lagging it might be new game mode from samsung since apparently samsung did on purpose limit hardware but added a settings into app that let's you gain more performance in games. Should be in game engine or w.e name is and then settings and then Labs and enable experimental feature there that should boost performance and stop limit the hardware for game.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Ray Adams:
When I replaces S7 it was already on Android 12 but I never observed such behavior. Anyway, I have put game into never sleep list. As about lags, unfortunately I found no options for that
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] SavXL:
I was noticing this particular with emulation since I don't play many native android games. When playing Sonic Colors at native res on my Tab S7+, it would almost never go below 30fps in level, and almost never below 60fps in the hub and menus. However, when I tried doing the same on the S8+, I had a bunch of stuttering and performance issues no matter what version of dolphin I used. There was a workaround to this (at least for me). These issues only happened when I restored my data to my new S8+ with Smart Switch, but when I just put all my data and stuff on there manually, the issues seemingly stopped happening. The only game I throttle in is Fortnite, which didn't have the 90fps option even though the S7+ did. The game still didn't feel much different before and after the throttle, still pretty consistent framerates overall.

Edit: Just fixing typos.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HPLazerJetPrinter1012:
Did you used cloud backup or restored through cable or it's the same thing? I have similar problem, but with benchmark results. My device can't get even average model score in 3DMark (about 2 to 8%). Geekbench scores are worse than snapdragon 865 devices. I don't know what's going on. I already tried to reflash stock rom with odin, but that didn't help. Hopefully not using cloud backup will help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] SavXL:
I initially restored with a cable, but once I started getting shawty performance, I made a backup on my sd card and restored it from there with Smart Switch. I never used cloud backup since that takes a lot of time for me. After getting suboptimal results with both, I just bit the bullet and slowly started adding everything and getting it to how it was on my old devices. Only then did I get getting substatiall better results. Now I can run a lot of Wii/GC/3DS/PS2 games at 1.5x, 2x, and sometimes even 3x without getting throttled. Not sure why using smart switch tanked my performance, but all I know is that it's not tanking now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Ray Adams:
Thats interesting. Because I also moved data using cable. I do not know how good is cloud since I never did it before (only on Apple devices).

I might try to fully format tablet and test it again.

Will provide more information later
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HPLazerJetPrinter1012:
I tried formatting few days ago, and that didn't help. At least for me this problem is not related to Smart Switch. Do you also have bad benchmark scores? I understand that benchmarks are not very good indicator of performance (especially due to GOS), but I expect to have at least average SD8gen1 performance, not the level of SD855.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Ray Adams:
Did reset to factory settings. It is much better at least for now. Benchmark - tested only Geekbench 5. Result the same
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Bege21:
Hi.. I'm experiencing the same problem here.. any updates regarding this problem? My geekbench score can't even surpass an exynos 2100.. it only achieve around 700ish on single core.. the first time I notice this is when I tried playing granturismo with aethersx2.. and it can't even handle the 1x reso.. hhhh.. really frustrated here.. please kindly share any clues regarding this topic thanks in advance.. sorry not a native English speaker ✌️
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] wesleycp4:
I had same problem, but, i solved using this:

ADB AppControl 1.7.5

(disable all game service (i'm not remember how many)). For me it's work great

--edit

i disabled bixdy and others apps too
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Bege21:
First.. thank you for the answer! Might try it out later..

So it's like disabling the "GOS" right? Is it different from the "alternate game performance" option in game booster? They said it's the "official" way to disable the GOS.. but yeah I didn't find any difference after enabling that option though... Hmm..

Hmm...also.. What makes me wonder is.. I saw some reviewers review this device without any tweaking needed and they could achieve a 8gen1'ish results in benchmarks.. and also if you know ETA prime on YouTube.. he reviewed a tab s8 ultra and is able to run a granturismo 4 with aethersx2 (ps2 emulator) in 3x reso in default settings with no problems... I know it's a different device but it's supposed to have a same Chip right?

All of this things makes me frustrated because it was not what i expected from a 8gen1 device.. moreover I saw a sd870 device could run the granturismo 4 in the same settings with no problems.. it really broke my heart..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] JohnTheFarm3r:
The issue mainly lies in the SOC.

Even though, SD8 Gen 1 has a much higher peak performance, especially in GPU, it can't sustain that performance due to excesive power consumption which results in thermal throttling.

GOS is another thing that affects the whole experience, it's limiting the performance of the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Bege21:
Yeah.. I think this is mainly what cause the problem.. The 8gen1 itself..

a quick update regarding this from me..

I've done some re-test in benchmark and real game perfomance but this time im doing it in a well conditioned (cooled) room..

previously I was doing the test and gaming and in a room without any Air Conditioner and I lived in a tropical country which is really hot and humid...

the benchmark results (3d wildlife) came out Nice in a well cooled room, It scores what most of Tab S8 would score and the real life perfomance (PS2 emulator) is also improved..

it manages to handle GranTurismo 4 in aethersx2 with 3x reso on safe setting quite well..

the CPU temperature is well managed in around 35'ish Celcius compared to 45'ish when not using any air conditioner...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] JohnTheFarm3r:
CPU temperature 35 Celsius degrees? Are you talking about an ABSOLUTE idle? Because even if you would put a bag of ice on the TAB it wouldn't sit that low under usage. Even small loads will put the CPU around 50-60 Celsius degrees. Under heavy load up to 85-90 till the thermal throttle hits in.

Also, that ONE wildlife mark test doesn't do much. The idea is stability, better known as SUSTAINED performance, and that's where SD8 Gen 1 ****s itself. Try running a Wildlife standard stress test (20-minute loop) and post the screenshot, you'll see what I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Bege21:
I only saw the perf-z indicator from samsung though.. so yeah.. i know i might just straight up wrong about this ✌️ I just straight saying what I saw.. and honestly I'm not an expert in this.. just a mere consumer..

Yeah I got you.. it goes downhill even after the first one.. what I'm trying to say was that I never reach that score before in warm room so yeah it's mainly the CPU problem..

What mainly being my concern before was I'm scared that I got scammed with a fake/unoriginal/refurbished tab s8..... 😶
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Catmobile:
Harry Potter plays fluently on Tab S8 Plus here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Ray Adams:
I have sent my S8 to my mom and bought S8 plus. Did not restore, set it up from scratch. No lagging in games, including HP. So, it could be related to thermal soliton in S8 plus as it is bigger
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Lolorider64:
Yes you have to run 4 adb Commands that also disables game booster and game launcher then GOS will stay disabled even after restart. I've done this and turn ram plus off. I also disabled or put into deep sleep all of the bs apps. I also went to advance features and turned off all of everything causes I don't use the s-pen so no need for air actions and stuff to be on. If you want the ADB commands let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Bege21:

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] CKavanagh:
CAUTION: Don’t purchase the appfour Flat Rate bundle. Only Photos and Launcher work. You can get standalone, both together is $7.60. I paid much more! I have a Samsung4 smartwatch. I paid for the bundle $11.99 as it included a couple apps I want - Photos, Document and Launcher. These alone can be purchased as standalone separatly and total less than bundle. Of course I purchased the bundle to get even more apps for the same price. However, when I clicked Photos on the watch I was directed to pay more to unlock the app, same with Documents and Launcher. The rest of the apps either do not function/unable to setup on the watch or load onto the watch. I already paid for these apps as they are in the bundle. But I preceded anyway thinking the system would see that I already have the apps purchased. It did not. I ended up paying $23.23 and only 2 apps work - Photos and Launcher, Documents dosent connect eventhough I set up on the phone. I paid twice for 3 apps and wasted $10.00 for nothing. I tried to get a refund through Google Play but denied and told to contact the developer. Appsfour hasn’t responded.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] GIutton:
I have a Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 on LineageOS 18.1 and only after changing my TTL to 65 in windows using the cmd: netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65 I can hotspot to the computer without having my provider recognize hotspot is being used (I don't pay for a hotspot.) However if I put my sim into my OnePlus 8T also on Android 11 I immediately lose this ability ie have no internet when connected to the hotspot. Have tried setting different APNs and a some other shots in the dark but without success. Anyone have any idea on how I can restore this ability on my OnePlus 8T? LineageOS 18.1 is available for it so wondering if flashing that ROM might do it?

One thing I notice about my S4 is a whole plethora of APN options show up when I insert my sim even a few with APN types of default,supl,MMS,admin,dun,internet,hipri,fota but I only get a single APN automatically on my 8T. Is there something special about LineageOS allowing this? Somehow my S4 is not telling my mobile provider some information that my 8T is.

Edit: One curious thing I should note is I also have a free lifeline sim that is a MVNO on the same network as the other sim and it also does not have any hotspot plan but this MVNO sim works with this trick on both the S4 and the 8T. The only issue is the entire data plan is throttled to 1 Mbps very quickly after any use so it isn't very helpful.

I went over the rules for this section but this is my first time posting here so apologize if I am posting in the wrong section or something.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
If you have root access, there are plenty of apps (e.g TTL master) that will allow you to change TTL to your desired one, though on OOS11 you may have to change selinux to permissive.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] GIutton:
I'm working on figuring out how to root my 8T. It's a lot of reading but I think I am the right track. Keep in mind I used a stock M919 Galaxy S4 until about 3 months ago when I learned how to flash custom ROMs so that gave me a little experience with TWRP, adb-fastboot and what not. Just recently got the 8T since it also has an unlocked bootloader but all of this stuff is still very new to me. With that said I take it your telling me the ability to change the TTL on my phone will allow me to hotspot to my windows PC?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
Changing TTL will allow you to hide the fact that you're hotspotting from your mobile carrier.

But the issue in your case maybe in smth else.
