I use actually LOS 19.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S7. In fact the built-in camera app of LOS is not the yellow of the egg, as we say in Germany ;) Reason for this is, that manufacturer Samsung does not publish its original camera drivers, so standard drivers are used in LOS, and these do not activate all the abilities of the very good camera in the S7.

An improvement is to use another camera app. Furthermore I read somewhere about a "camera2.api" must be installed too, but actually I do not remember, were this was - but here I have a link for you to inform yourself about "camera2.api":

Android Camera2 – How to Use the Camera2 API to Take Photos and Videos

We all use the camera on our phones and we use it a l-o-t. There are even some applications that have integrated the camera as a feature. On one end, there is a standard way of interacting with the camera. On the other, there is a way to customize

www.freecodecamp.org

Camera2 API Probe – Apps bei Google Play

Probe Android Camera2 API capabilities on your phones.

play.google.com

Maybe some other users here know more about this. I use that "Camera2.api" in my Samsung Galaxy S7.

Furthermore I use the App "HD-Kamera" from Google Play Store to make pictures and videos with. This app works fine, pictures in daylight are ok, in rooms with artificial light they are not so good, but acceptable. There are other camera apps in the Googe Play Store, but for me the "HD-Kamera" is ok.

In fact the pictures done with LOS do not have that quality like with StockROM from Samsung, where the Samsung camera hardware drivers are in, but with the u.m. "HD-Camera" pictures are much better than with the built-in camera app of LOS 19.1.

But one thing is very important: always make the pictures and the videos in highest resolution, and when you transmit them f.e. with Whatsapp, take care in the settings of Whatsapp (and other messengers) to set up the transport resolution/quality also to highest, so that the recipients of your pictures and videos get them in the quality, you had made the pictures or videos originally..

There are a lot of people out there, who dont not pay attention for app settings, and so worry, that when they make high resolution pictures or videos, and transmit them with messengers, the quality after the transport is low. Reason is in fact in the settings of the messengers, there the transport of pictures and videos must set to highest quality or resolution.

Sorry for my bad english, but I hope, this helps you a little.

Is it possible to take USB Charge to 900Mhz just like in MoroKernel or Thunderstorms kernel?

This is one of the only things holding me back on android 11 since my charging port is damaged and fast charging doesn't work anymore
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] netra3441:
Maybe this could be a solution for you:

I never had charged fast, because honestly I did not knew, that this is possible for my Samsung Galaxy S7.

So I got into the way of having charging units everywhere: at home in each room, also beside my bed, and three in my livingroom/office.

Also when I leave my apartment, I always have USB cables and charging units in a bag with me.

So I am able to load my S7 nearly everywhere.

I am a physically handicapped person, and therefore it is very important for me to have a usable smartphone all the time.

Actually I run my Samsung Galaxy S7 with LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12) in the version of @Ivan_Meler
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] meesam3379:
I don't think I can do something like that

And yes this did have an 18W charger

While using that on AOSP it said "Charging Rapidly" and it did charge at decent speed.

Now it says "Charging Slowly" because of damaged port

The latest update broke task view. When I press it - says pixel launcher stopped working
[Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveri] CuriousFox446:
New update messed up the keylayout for the DualSense controller, I couldn't play Apex Mobile with my DualSense, I didn't know which kl file was the problem, I tried replacing vendor_054c_product_0ce6.kl with the one I have saved on my SD Card didn't work but it didn't get fixed. So I decided to just replace the whole keylayout folder with the one from LineageOS 19.1 and it seems it fixed the problem.

Hello Forum,

today I got my testing Samsung S7 Galaxy (Exynos herolte) now, and tried to install TWRP.

The TWRP 3.7.0_9-0 tar file does not work, ODIN says just failed.

I use newest ODIN from Samsung. But ODIN does not read IMG-files, so I could not use the 3.7.0 recovery.img, @Ivan_Meler had posted as surrogate, so I used TWRP 3.6.1_9-0 tar file.

With TWRP 3.6.1_9-0 ODIN had worked, but this version of TWRP does not start in the S7, it hangs in the teamwin-bootscreen.

With HOME-POWER-VOLUME- I can start the S7 into ODIN mode, but nothing more.

Also I cannot switch the S7 off.

I would really appreciate any suggestions what to do now.

I tried to download TWRP 3.6.2_9-0 tar file, but this download always fails.

I will give it a try with an elder TWRP.

(y)ADDENDUM:

Well, now it works with TWRP 3.7.0 and LOS 20 and NikGAPPS 13.

The solution: install that "recovery.img" from @Ivan_Meler NOT with Odin under Windows, BUT with Heimdall under Linux.

Weird, but true.

Why so, I dont know.

Hi all,

this is my first post here. I've been a Pixel user since Pixel 2, but recently got the Pixel 6, and my frustrations begun. Since day 1 I am getting no more than 5 hours of screen time, no matter what I do. Battery drainage of this piece of cr*p phone is the worst I ever experienced. Got all the updates which Google promised to fix these issues and none of them made any difference at all, except for the Android 13 upgrade, which made things worse. Now I got maximum of almost 3 hours of screen time. I mostly watch Youtube videos and talk. I understood that there isn't going back to Android 12 anymore if once upgraded to Android 13. So my question is - is there ANY chance of getting back the old boot loader and bring back the smaller evil (Android 12), or do I have to sell this piece of cr*p?
[Google Pixel 6] apatrahil:
Do you experience extraordinary phone heating (as I do), just by having the phone on standby? Phone keeps Temp of about 36-37 Degrees, while the surrounding Temp is about 25. No apps woring in background...
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
Have a look into this topic in the section "recommended after update".

I do the first 3 of this after each update and have no problems at all. My Pixel 6 stays at around 33°C and battery life is around 30 hours and smooth af.

Once, I had a problem with the software, root cause was a botched Play Services Update.

Fixed after I cleared all data in Play Services Storage.

Cheers

Tom
[Google Pixel 6] dtrax.ivanoff:
I am not having heating issues, except for when it is charging it gets a bit warm. Never checked the temps or anything else, as going for a google phone in the first place is because I got very tired with all other manufacturer's phones, which demanded heavy tweaks/mods/rooting and stuff just to begin to work normaly as it is supposed to be. I've tried some of the tweaks in the topic, but not made any difference at all. As I said thr only difference was after android 13, which was very very bad. I've read any topic on the web regarding pixel 6's issues and nothing helped at least a bit. That's why I am writing this topic and asking if there would be any chance of getting this piece of crap back to android 12... With this specs, this phone should be smooth af and I shouldn't worry about battery at all, but atm my pixel 2 which I am using as a secondary phone lasts longer and it's a 4 year phone with 2800mah battery..
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
You might actually have a defective phone with a bad battery.

Have you looked in the power consumption details to see what is actually draining the battery?

Have you locked it out of 5G network types?

Have you tried a non-google build like GrapheneOS?

Have you checked whether or not the CPU is able to go into deep sleep?
[Google Pixel 6] GGTDM:
Turning off 5G (which is not good in my area) really helps with battery and heat for me. It is a crappy modem and struggles a lot to find 5G signal.
[Google Pixel 6] dtrax.ivanoff:
5G in my country isn't available at all for Pixel phones and I turned it off when I got the phone. In the battery chart I see 2 things causing the high battery usage - Mobile Network and Phone Idle which are taking up to 40% both. In android 12 at least it was only the Mobile Network causing the drain.. Custom OS-es are not my thing since that's why I went to Pixel in the first place, as I got tired of modding my brand new phones with custom OS-es, kernels and stuff. Tried the recommendation from the 3rd post and I think it made a difference and battery life went a bit up, but my phone wasn't fully charged. Will check up today what will happend and will share.
[Google Pixel 6] dtrax.ivanoff:
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that my battery life improved alot after the tweaks from the other post. Now from half-a day phone I got 2 days of phone with one charge. All I did was - Disable 5G, disable 90hz display, disable adaptive connectivity and applied the commands from the "after update fixes", which were:

- adb shell cmd package compile -m speed-profile -a

- adb shell cmd package bg-dexopt-job

- adb shell pm trim-caches 999999999999999999

Now I really wanna know what the commands actually did, as they did 90% of the improvement for me.
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
This is forcing compile all packages using "speed" compiler profile

Implement ART just-in-time compiler | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

This is a command which fixes battery drain. Should normally run automatically when the battery is 100% full, running it manually doesn't hurt and seems sometimes to be required

This deletes all app caches in one go.

Cheers

[Google Pixel 6] pixel6wheresatmos:
My feedback on p6/a13 after my first week with it. (more of a end user experience)

Pros

Fresh new device I suppose, fun to watch how the updates changes over time, hopefully it breaks the standard android model of locked in software/hardware with too many skus of smartphones. My main reason for the phone really, i could of stayed on samsung's. Because I dropped the screen, after 4 years of having it from renewed :*(..

Cons (im sure it wont be that way in 6 months or so, but going from s9 plus, one ui, generally being good, no idea what the s22 is like)

Con 1:) Am i the only one who is finding gesture navigation (whilst a step forward) also really really inaccurate and hard to use?

* , tried with and without animations, tried with nova launcher, its very unreliable, maybe it does, and maybe it doesnt present frames lol, - close all on the left side after you scroll through the open apps is also silly, - why is it not on the bottom or top?

When i open app view, its like it opens multiple frames to get to the swiping

Is it tied to oc or something? i turn off animation etc,

tried toggling battery saving,

i prefer a clean ui, not wobbly animations, and i do like gesture navigation vs stock android 3 buttons (cant even reverse them coming from a s9 plus, its torture lol)

Not having many sound options is also torture, like dolby atmos which i never turn off on s9 plus, wavelet is inferior by far, and drops out havent troubleshooted much yet.

+ but i do think the saving grace will be bluetooth 5.2, as my soundcore headphones are nice with them, in terms of picking up hd aac connection (i dont believe in expensive portable hp when im experimenting)

*** Dolby Atmos the soundfx version with system music mode, volume leveler, etc (not the encoded version on apple music)

Heating -- so far its good, i turned off 5g
[Google Pixel 6] blaze73:
I only witnessed negative things so far.

Massive battery drain with "Phone Idle" consuming 20-40% of battery in a day and also overnight even when phone is in "flight mode". Insane !

And now Viber app keeps also draining the battery with 20%+ consumation which is not true as I am not really using it.

It is no.1 consumer now battery-wise.

Pixel 6 is really bad after A13 and this is a new phone, about 10 days old :( :(
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
Scroll up, I posted a possible solution. Feedback so far was positive.

And you can't blame Google for Viber, that sounds more like Viber problem not being optimized for A13.

Make a backup of your chats, and delete the storage of Viber.

Cheers
[Google Pixel 6] apatrahil:
My case - After the initial A13 clean install, phone was working fine for 2-3 days, then massive battery drainage started (possibly by using online straming radio service - TuneIn). Phone was heating while idle and going up to 40 degrees (C), when streaming. I was forced to do another complete reset. Now it is back to normal, but I am installing 2-3 apps per day to try to find which one was the main reason for the described failure... Hoping for serios bugfix update from G at teh beggining of September. PS - I also followed most of the practices mentioned in the above posts, after clean install.
[Google Pixel 6] blaze73:
Thanks, I have tried to Viber thing with date wiped and we will see. It did not happen with A12 before, it started with A13.

Top battery consumer with bogus data :(

For your other tips "- adb shell cmd" I am really not familiar how to do that...

Is that risky or how can one do these 3 steps, commands ?

Can you tell that to n00b ? :)

I hope Google will release a fix/patch this is crazy sh+% with a new phone :(
[Google Pixel 6] tiiiit74:
I would like to apply this method but I'm a little slow to understand, should we copy a profile on the phone or just enter the command lines in fastboot mode? Thanks in advance !
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
Nope, no need.

Cheers

Tom
[Google Pixel 6] tiiiit74:
Fastboot and

- adb shell cmd package bg-dexopt-job

- adb shell pm trim-caches 999999999999999999

and it's ok ? Sorry...
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
One after the other +

Don't use the (-).

Cheers
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
Sorry, I just noticed, no fastboot necessary.

You do this with adb commands, this means your mobile is not in fastboot mode.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] heni63:
For me it sounded also like "zerbrechliches" took it. That you wanted to report those as bugs or so. But I guess you just meant it as a heads up to fill the list of things that are not yet implemented. Might also be the you felt offended by him, your answere sounded like that. I guess we all hate when people want to say things we did wrong in their opinion. Also might be that you did it wrong and don't want to admit.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Zerbrechliches:
i don't want to start a fight, but most of the things you count as a bug are already reported in then post from Ivan (these are not ported Lineage features). some bugs are real bugs but they're already fixed in the newest update. I think we both are right. But maybe read the whole post cause some things that are not working were marked as not working from Ivan. :)
