thanks for the reply!

12 v.s. 13

thanks for the confirmation - I look forward to the OTA :))​

​

safe area for gesture nav bar at bottom of screen

this is not THAT breaking for me at the moment, I'll keep look into this; if I can't really do anything to change it I'll just leave it be.​

I'm not rooted because I do use Google Pay/Wallet and I do quite some gaming on my phone too, and all these kind of require me not to root my device, which is why I tend not to. Additionally, rooting and using rooted modules does increase changes of system instability, and since this is my daily drive, any unexpected downtime would be quite annoying.​
[OnePlus 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krakout:
Of course that's a whole different discussion, but rooting for me has been extremely stable unless messing with weird modules (and I always know and revert). And that's very very rare, maybe 2 or 3 times over many years. With magisk hide I've had everything, including payment and banking apps, working just fine. but of course I'm not gonna argue, that;'s up to you :)
[OnePlus 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] shimomiaizo:
more on the A12/13 point -

since now AICP is on A13, I'd suggest we update the first post in this thread since the MindTheGapps mentioned there is still A12; I initially downloaded that, tried to flash it after flashing AICP, then was told "this GApps package is for A12, you are on A13, they are not compatible!" then I had to find MindTheGapps A13... and since the A13 GApps package is something I found on my own, I was not sure if it is the exact right thing to use for/with AICP, and there were some weird behaviors after I finished all flashing and booted into the OS, such as the A13 onboarding process (logging to account, get data that has been backed up to that account's google drive, etc.) kind of happened twice...
[OnePlus 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krakout:
Yeah it's a pity OP is so far behind but to be honest it refers to A12 builds. Links in their Telegram channel work fine :)
[OnePlus 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] shimomiaizo:
REALLY! if it's that stable with Magisk Hide I will have to give it a try. The biggest reason I want to stick to AICP is the Close All button for the Recent Apps interface lol and if rooting gives me access to whatever fonts I want to use while maintaining the functionality of payment services/games, that's totally more pros than cons. Would you mind sharing how to flash Magisk for AICP, and, where do I get Magisk Hide, fonts, and so on? Thank you so much
[OnePlus 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krakout:
Well yeah, no problem with stability whatsoever. Honestly. If you don't mess with system-related stuff (but why would you) it's just fine. I'm not sure there's a patch to install the specific font you want, but I would assume there is one somewhere... Or that you could do it rather easily.

I'll write a small guide on rooting tomorrow morning (Europe time). It's a few steps to do it, but it's easy enough honestly even if it sounds scary at first (extracting the boot image, patching it, flashing through adb). Steps are very clear cut and you shouldn't have any trouble. Or if you can't wait try googling for "install Magisk patch boot.img or something).

Why do you use Clear All?
[OnePlus 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] krakout:
Ok, so, rooting steps in brief:

Download https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go/releases . Great to extract boot images (and more). Extract boot.img from the ROM file (well, the dumper will extract all files, but this is the one we're interested in). Copy it to your phone. Download the Magisk apk (ONLY from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/ ). Use it to patch the image. The flash it through ADB Fastboot once your ROM is set up.

OR (easier method)

INSTALL ROM:

-Get files from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1luchnV0R4UN8LQFWc5s4OeFjZIRELN09 .

-Boot into bootloader.

-Flash the provided recovery: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

-Boot to recovery. Flash via "sideload". (on your PC, assuming you have connected your phone to it, type: adb sideload ROM.zip)

-reboot to recovery (VERY important! The first time I forgot to, and Gapps would not install)

-Sideload the GAPPs by "adb sideload gapps.zip"

-format data.

-Reboot to system.

ROOTING

-Download Magisk.apk and rename it to magisk.zip.

-Reboot to Recovery again, and choose Sideload install

-On your PC, "adb sideload Magisk.zip".

That's it. Pretty easy. That was the whole process of installing the ROM btw, plus rooting. Interestingly I found that root persisted between updates! If you get a verification error (I think it happens with Gapps), ignore it.

Huge thanks to @dante4715 for helping me to figure it out :)
[OnePlus 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] shimomiaizo:
Huge thanks to you and your friend both! I'm about to try the rooting-only part out, since I just flashed AICP 48h ago lol. I bookmarked your post cuz I feel like this process (very clear and well written, step by step easy to follow) will be continuously useful until the day I no longer use any Android devices lolll
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jurkoman:
Hello, i want to share my experience with this phone after 4 years of using daily.

Battery has still endurance about 2 days and more. 7-8 hours SOT.

Only thing, little bit more hot in summer on direct sunlight.

Comparing to other users of devices like apple, samsung, lg etc. is this experience almost impossible.

My questions: What can be real or truth from professional point of view about Li-Ion battery and its very good endurance after 4 years?

Worth for change if its in pretty good condition but 4 years old?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Lanchon:
> What can be real or truth from scientific point of view? (if i am still using this phone)

nothing! :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jurkoman:
Because some iPhone 12 mini user replied to my comment in one review video about my phone and replied to me deeply about batteries and my stupidity, they can degrade their capacity. But i know from using this phone and Z1 compact, X compact, XZ1, XZ2, XZ2c and many, many, many other phones, what is true from real experience POV. Yes, some brands havent so good technology or so quality batteries and many users had bad experience from using their phone for 100-300 bucks fully new, or iPhone. I dont care about battery if i have XZ1 compact but if i am talking about my phone, no one believes me. :D
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Lanchon:
noone believes you because it is not true.

i am not saying you lie, but you are mistaken.

li-ion batteries loose capacity with cycles and age. at 4 years of use, your battery should be around 50% its original capacity, if looked for well.

there is no manufacturer magic here. its like saying your gas car doesnt need gas refills becasue its a better brand of car. its really that silly.

only way battery would be around 90% health today is if you charged it to 50% and stored it in the fridge the whole time, you didnt.

btw you should do that with battery spares.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jurkoman:
I know this for very long time, li-ion batteries loosing their capacities or degrade voltage after some year usage, but how li-ion battery directly on this phone can stay that long - around 4 years, still with 2-3+ days using daily and 7-8h SOT ? Before it had really similar endurance. Never disassembled.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Lanchon:
because it was large to beguin with. now that its smaller it still lasts.

one thing is: if the battery is very large and you charge it every day (which you should) then the cycling is shallow and wont affect life much. couple that with maybe you live in a cold place, and it can last longer that expected.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jurkoman:
I am charging it sometimes through PC, but most of time I am charging it with wall charger from Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 pro - on second day of usage (mostly after some 50-60 hours on standby) and my living has around 20 degrees. Also, my friend has this phone also 3 years not disassembled and he is also curious about battery endurance.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] rhayy:
Are you talking about these lines :

Because it just means that your phone is fully charged (in my example above, it says that my phone is charged at 33%), not that the capacity is still as new.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jurkoman:
Why in android i cannot know battery capacity directly like on iOS without testing in Accubattery for 8 hours+- and have primary phone in indisposition state? Is year 2022 and phone batteries are getting old, but maybe it is typical argument of "iPhone user".
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] rhayy:
When my phone ran stock android, I used to check it from time to time through the service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*).

That's a pity it can not be done in a vanilla/custom android.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] gladykov:
This is an interesting question. Mine lasts one day, and I'm a heavy user but not a gamer. I charged it only to 80% during lifetime, but lately had to start charging to 100% :(

I started to dig and found info, that our beloved phone has Qnovo Adaptive Charging - so I guess it worked :D But this technology was not used in many phones - almost none. So I think this is most obvious answer. Which is funny if you read comments from 2018 stating Qnovo is useless :D BUT (big but here) I have no idea if this technology was adapted as software and/or hardware solution. From comments I read it can limit charging rate, and this is what I observe from time to time in my Lineage OS.

Other factors could contribute here:

- quality of used materials, including cathodes and anodes

- chosen technology for those as well

- charging controller - quality and logic (Qnovo?)

- how easy battery dissipates heat - heat is the battery killer

- even quality of included charger - my subjective opinion is, that newer, more powerful chargers, while charge faster, make the phone also hotter. So I avoid them

Another thing to consider - if Sony paid Qnovo, it means they cared about batery life. So other tricks could have been involved.

Also I guess such type of phone was not bought by cool kids / gamers (it is small and not cool ;). So usage pattern will be different (apps, tasks) which may also change battery wear over time.

In the end OS will also affect battery life. Sony was not adding ton of features to their official ROMs, which could increase battery drain. Of course it was never a vanilla, but still not something terrible (3.6 ;)

Were things start to get interesting... If you try to find battery replacement. It is very hard to find battery replacement on the market with original capacity of 2700. While many years after premiere technology evolved. So it had to be sth special about them, as they squeezed 2700 inside, but nowadays you cannot find equal replacement, not speaking about increased capacity, which would be much more fun.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] xog64:
I still use this phone everyday and I would like to know the battery manufacturer.

Few weeks ago I did a battery degradation test, and after 5 years the battery is at 80%. I can use the phone up to two days (no gaming).

Samsung galaxy s3 and s5 batteries last max a couple of years (the battery was at 50% aprox).
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] antoniu200:
To my knowledge, the only batteries that have even close to 2700 mAh on the market are from phones that saw little to no usage over the years and the battery has been kept at around 50% charge after all these years. Which it, to say the least, rare.

The reason for this is that Sony wants us to go pay for a new phone, so they sell underperforming batteries as official replacements. Of course, the Chinese don't do much better either and 3rd party battery manufacturers won't bother to make such a battery because there will be very little orders of such part. Here is a conversation between me and a battery manufacturer in China, when I was trying to design a battery:

View attachment 5907323

Me:

Manufacturer:

I was requesting this adjustment so that I didn't have to redesign the whole BMS, but just solder this new battery's tabs to the BMS we have now, hence losing 0 functionality.

Of course, the manufacturer's message was a clear step-back at the time, giving me reason to think the situation through. The next step was clear, however. The main chip on the BMS responsible for OCP (overcurrent), OVP, OCP (overcharge), etc. and reporting battery percentage and temperature had to be localized and wired just like in the original BMS. The only thing that required change was the pad positioning on the PCB for the cathode and anode.

The chip is a muRata internal chip, with untraceable codes: 401C02M8 and 2BN0R420

View attachment 5907331

I replied to the manufacturer last week, asking for their help in tracking down this chip and the connector on the BMS that connects the BMS to the phone motherboard. Here's how that conversation went:

Manufacturer:

Me:

It's been 3 days since "tomorrow", but the "quotation" never came. I would assume the situation with the 10,000 batteries is repeated.

So, yeah. If the manufacturers require such high orders, I think everybody could realize why Sony is doing what they are doing and why 3rd parties provide fairly poor replacements, if any.

So, no better battery on the horizon for our beloved, but at least now we know where we need to look.

Plus, on a positive note, the smallest powerhouse alternative to the Xperia XZ1 Compact is, as we all know, the iPhone SE series. Well, they're not much better. Even with PolarCell's (claimed 2300 mAh, but actually only) 2000 mAh battery, which is higher than the original's 1821 (SE 2nd gen.), doesn't hold up any better than the XZ1 Compact. Absolutely huge drain while in standby, up to 10% after 10 hours of standby in airplane mode. Max SOT I've seen is somewhere around 6 hours (hard to measure on iOS, 'cause why would it be easy?). "Investment" not recommended.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] gladykov:
Man, congrats for going as far as talking to manufacturer!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Arcline:
I would've lied to him about the purchases.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] antoniu200:
And then what? End up buying 10 000? I am talking for real with the guy, not just speculations.

On another train of thoughts, the guy came back with a reply. after a week. He ordered the original battery to analyse its BMS for me and it should arrive Monday.

[Samsung Galaxy S22] abramq:
Hello,

I wonder what version to buy - 128 or 256 GB, more is better, I know, but budget is not flexible ;-)

Is 128GB ok if I am going to get about 2 hours of 4K movie?

Will filling the storage with data make the phone slow?

Greetings!
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
Neither. 128gb isn't much space. 256 isn't either especially with no expandable storage.

Leaves no room for growth.

Not having a SD card slot is a major liability and wastes your time, battery and makes reloading much slower and difficult.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] abramq:
Thanks for the answer and for your time, although it is quite possible that this was a bit of a wasted time as there are no references to the questions of my post. But perhaps my question has not been very precise. Well, my point is that someone who has the phone model mentioned in the topic, wrote how much really free memory is available for data storage (because the system usually takes part of the pool).

The second question concerned the requirements of 4K movies, theoretically it is 70 Mbps, i.e. about 30 GB per hour of movie, which theoretically gives over 3 hours of recording on this phone (depends on the answer of previous question). It's even too much for me, especially since you can rip everything to the cloud at the end of the day. Nevertheless, the opinion of a practitioner would be very valuable to me.

Regards!
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
You'll suck up 128gb before you know it not including 4k recordings. With a relatively light load I'm using at least 60gb* of internal on my N10+. The lowest I would go is 256gb. That's not all that much.

Something with a SD card slot would work better. A V30 rated card can stream 4k vids.

*critical data, media, docs aren't on internal memory; the 60gb initially is just apps, DCIM and download folders. It quickly increases in size from there though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] abramq:
Well... N10+ is not I am asking about...

Please, anybody with S22 kindly to check?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
If anything scoped storage based apps will require more memory than my non scoped storage ones. You will be running mandatory scoped storage. I run Android 9 and 10, no scoped storage. So there's that.

128gb be cutting it tight... you want to have at least 20gb free at all times. Otherwise you'll end up playing stupid games.
