[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] JagerPL:
I bought a Tab S8 recently and i expected it to take more advantage of snapdragon 8 gen 1 than phones. Turns out that after updating it to latest version (OneUI 4.1.1) it barely performs as well as my former phone, a Pixel 6. Happens also in my S21 FE no matter if it's a benchmark or a game, it performs lower than what the hardware is actually capable of.

Does anyone have the same experience with the tablet?

Samsung said that power usage is limited. But there is a setting they added into game booster that let's you remove the limit so the phone/tablet can use full power of the cpu/GPU
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] JagerPL:
There is an option but still, performance is more like Pixel 6 series than a phone with snapdragon 8 gen 1. Tab S8/S8+/S8 Ultra is more capable than what Samsung allows it to be.

I got the kernel to run in performance mode and it does well for a while better than stock, but soon starts to throttle again a fluctuate. Pretty underwhelmed so far to be honest. My OP9 is consistently faster and smoother.

This game booster mentioned. Is that just when gaming or all the time?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HPLazerJetPrinter1012:
Lol, my s8+ can't even play 2k youtube video because apparently wifi modem starts throttling. I have a feeling that s7+ would be a more reasonable choice in my case.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Mario919:
Tried that on other wifi spots, as it might be the wifi router itself, one of the ones at my place is for some reason also bad at streaming to my devices for some reason. While my other gives me no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HPLazerJetPrinter1012:
I tried on few different wifi hotspots and tried switching channels on my wifi, but result was the same. Probably this happens because I'm using youtube vanced which has different package name and is installed along with original youtube app. Throttling starts approx after 5min into the video, so maybe system tries to conserve power this way. Also, throttling is clearly noticeable when downloading game files, e.g. in pubg or genshin impact speed drops to 3 mb/s.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] shadowofdeth:
Throttling on the S8+ vs my OnePlus 9

Both stock kernels, both in performance mode

OP9:

View attachment 5711589

S8+:

View attachment 5711591

The S8+ throttled immediately after starting a throttle tester (the green graphs) but my OP9 just kept going with no drop in performance. The S8+ suffered instant noticeable stutter and lag. Throttling sarts at around 50% cpu load. Throttling here seems way too aggressive.

Wtf is that about? This tablet should be a beast but my phone is running rings around it.

Is there anything we can do? Anyway to disable or tweak throttling?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HPLazerJetPrinter1012:
😂👌

Spoiler content hidden.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HARNATH:
Reason for this maybe the Game optimization service which throtthrottles the tab s8+ performance, a workaround could be to flash another rom but no roms are currently available for even the last gen tab s7 let alone tab s8 so we are stuck with this. You can try disabling GOS but it's not a permanent fix and samsung is making it harder to block it. That alternate performance mode is a joke and they made a fool out of us by giving it, it does not do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Lolorider64:
You can easily permanently disable game optimization services but you have to uninstall game booster and game launcher then disable game optimization services and it will stay disabled. It's 4 adb Commands and I used LADB app . Let me find the adb commands and I'll post them
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Lolorider64:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gamehome

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gametools

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gos

pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gos

Do in that order and it will disable GOS permanently and will see a noticable difference playing games and I've hadn't had any issues with overheating
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Lolorider64:
You can disable it permanently with adb Commands .I uninstalled game booster and game launcher and disable GOS permanently. I posted in this thread with the adb commands
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HARNATH:
Did you notice any change in performance?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HARNATH:
Can I run these commands with adb on PC?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Lolorider64:
Yea . I've only used LADB app but I think you have to add .\ adb shell before the commands I've posted. I've never done it connect though PC but I know a few people that did. After you run the commands then go to settings>apps>turn on show system apps then scroll down to game optimization services and see if it says disable next to it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Lolorider64:
Yes. The game I play used to randomly lag but its good now
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HARNATH:
I did it and got all 4 successfully but the performance is still exactly same, even geekbench results are exactly same, Gos is now disabled and not working yet no change in performance like before.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] HARNATH:
What kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] JagerPL:
I think he has a rooted Tab S8 and changed the governor to performance so most likely is just stock kernel.

My "two" cents:

S8 series (all of them) have almost next to none existent "cooling" solution. Here is the S8 Ultra for example as a "proof".

View attachment 5738307

View attachment 5738309

View attachment 5738311

This is my OWN S8 Ultra which I opened after I got tired from the heavy thermal throttling. Keep in mind that NOTHING will save you from thermal throttling, not custom ROM, not a custom KERNEL, nothing, this is not a software (code) issue, this is simply a SOC that consumes up to 20W and Samsung decided to troll us by implementing actually nothing but garbage "cooling" inside and obviously added GOS to limit the s*** out of the SOC to prevent from heating too much.

And here is my "simple" thermal MOD I did and the results before vs after (partially, I don't have the screenshots/photos anymore, not all of them).

View attachment 5738313

If you're wondering what I did....Well, here a few simple mods:

Removed the Aluminium foil which was on the CHIP itself, replacing it with a 0.2mm copper shim, and instead of using a thermal paste between the copper shim and CHIP I added a thermal pad.

On the TAB frame itself, I remove the 0.01$ worth of "premium" thermal pad added by Samsung to our "flagship" "QUALITY" device, and added a "LONG" copper plate (0.2mm), pushed it under that plastic frame which is on the aluminum frame attached (holds the screws from the cover over the logic board) and added a thermal paste between the TAB frame and that copper plate since thermal pad was too thick and I didn't have much space to play with since I wouldn't be able to attach the logic board properly and the screen panel wouldn't be able to "fit" "flat" on top (it would be probably pushed, and potentially damaged by the logic board apply pressure on it).

I added the long copper plate there and use thermal paste between the frame for ONE and a very GOOD reason. The frame of the tab is FULL aluminium, basically the WHOLE frame, and the copper plate through the thermal paste will transfer the heat to the frame of the tab, increasing the chance of better heat dissipation through the frame itself vs the stock mode was barely covering by those 2 small thermal pads concentrating the heat on small area.

Between this copper plate and the actual SOC with the copper plate, I used again a thermal pad.

Wonder about the results? Sure. (I don't have all the screenshots or photos, but you can compare your results with mine, that will tell you "enough").

Here you go. If you're brave enough and don't care about your warranty (assuming that you have an idea what you're doing and actually have some "experience" in understanding how what works) you may do it yourself.

Once again, THANK YOU SAMSUNG FOR SCAMMING US WITH SUCH A NICE FLAGSHIP PRICE. You never fail to surprise us, in a bad way of course.
[Palm Treo Pro] Trevor2:
I've tried the headphone and mic in my Palm Treo Pro and have seen that whenever jack is plugged it does an autoanswer of the phone calls.

I am not able to to set settings for avoiding autoanswer whenever jack is plugged. Do you know how to do it?

And NO, I don't have it checked in Settings / Phone / More / Answer incoming calls automatically. It only does it whenever mic jack is plugged.

Thank's in advance!

Hello.

I'm trying to install your build of LineageOS. When installed via TWRP (twrp-3.4.0-0-lux, twrp-3.7.0_9-0-lux) at 20% it displays an error of -7. What could be the reason for this? Phone XT1562 android 7.1.1 (dual sim). The latest official build lineage-17.1-20220214-nightly-lux-signed installs without issue. Can you give a working link to TWRP 3.3.1 lux? I want to try this version of the recovery, but I can not find it anywhere.

Everything seems to be fine (except for the fact that my battery holds very badly and sometimes turns off intermittently), but it happens that, as I understand it, the video driver crashes, at a certain point in use the image disappears, and shows only a gray backlight, it is treated by pressing the power button and waiting seconds 20-30. But I don’t understand how to fix it, or I also have a problem with the screen in addition to the battery ...

I have put Moto X away for further testing, but as far I can tell now it works more stable that Lineage 18 for Galaxy S5 based on A11. After basic configuring Samsung and setting it as a hotspot even interface begun crashing...

Motorola looks awesome and has far more customize options that on stock ROM.

I will probably won't be able to test everything that smartphone is made for, so if you need to know something in particular - just ask.
[Android TV General] Aghozzo:
TV: Sony Bravia

Scenario : i have an app that contains sections : series, movies, live stream . I want when the app starts the live stream activity starts immediately instead of main menu .

Things i tried:

1- modify the apk to change the "mainActivity" to the live stream activity . after repacking the app and signing it . the app doesnt install ( i think it gets corrupted ) . i used APK Editor Studio

2- use an application like " Activity launcher" which shows you which activities included in any app and you can make a shortcut for the activity you need. However on Android TV i get the message "its not allowed to pin shortcut in this launcher"

Any help / solution is appreciated

[Google Pixel 6] tibl37:
Seems that Google published incomplete vendor blobs, so there is a huge problem with ShannonIms and related SELinux permissions.

Basically, if you build a clean AOSP 13 r2, ShannonIms tries to access a system properties, gets a denial from SELinux, tries again more and more and so on, generating 30+ Gb of logs, so after ~12 hours phone gets 100% CPU load, it's completely unusable and consumes lots of battery (~30% in ~12 hours) even being charging.

Here is a bug in the Google's issue tracker, but I'm sure that it won't be fixed soon.

Audit2Allow recommends this:

allow platform_app vendor_rild_prop:file read;
allow platform_app vendor_rild_prop:property_service set;

But I'm not sure how to correctly apply these rules, as if I added them, build fails because they violate neverallow rules in system/sepolicy/private/property.te.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

P.S. Disabling SELinux is not an option.

I know this issue is already covered around this forum but you may need to read a few hundred pages to get some idea out of it.

I was just wondering if someone has a one page guide or easy link about implementing VOIP (i.e. Asterisk) on WM6 on an Elf or Elfin.

If so, many people could benefit from it (well except for operators...:))

Notes:

What's posted below is a work in progress, but it should suffice to unblock efforts to build custom ROMs for this impressive tablet.

This is unofficial and unsupported, so the usual caveats apply. Since we don't flash the bootloader, you should be able recover from any problems...but nothing is guaranteed.

Not working:

Support for metadata encryption (which causes mounting errors in log)

v3.6.2_11-0 (2022-09-04):

Initial TWRP 3.6.2 release built from AOSP-11 branch.

Instructions:

From OEM stock firmware:

Unlock bootloader

Hold Vol Up & Vol Down buttons during restart to enter Download mode

Install TWRP to AP with Odin

Hold Power & Vol Up buttons during restart to enter TWRP recovery

From existing TWRP install: (No need for data wipe.)

Hold Power & Vol Up during restart to enter TWRP recovery

Tap Install->Install Image, select your image (.img) file, pick Recovery partition, and then swipe to install

Reboot to Recovery

What about rooting with Magisk?

These images are not supplied pre-rooted with Magisk, since it's against the terms of use laid out by Magisk's developer, John Wu. To root the TWRP image yourself, simply use Magisk Manager to Select and Patch the boot.img file. More details on this process are available here. Note that you should just patch the boot.img file and not the whole AP tarball, since this device's bootloader doesn't like the empty vbmeta.img that Magisk will provide.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Magendanz:
Additional Notes:

Ian's Multidisabler script has an issue on this device preventing it from disabling stock recovery auto-restoration. I'm hoping that a fix is forthcoming.

If you root this device with Magisk, be sure to patch only the boot.img file. Patching the AP tarball will generate a blank vbmeta.img, which this device's bootloader doesn't like for some reason.

Works on LTE version sm-x505 ??

Also which is better tab A7 or tab A8 ??
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Rularick5:
works perfectly. what i did was after rooting with magisk, i downloaded the official twrp app from playstore and downloaded your img to my tab. then i just flashed it from within the app. no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] jtrakx:
I am so delighted to see that there is major development for this device.

This will open the door for future custom ROMs.

Thank you Magendanz for your effort in bringing this to us.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Tony Ronaldo Matute:
I can say that is working as expected, thank you so much man. I thought that with TWRP we could be able to install a GSI ROM at least, but nothing at all lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Magendanz:
I think it's possible, but just using ChonDow_Flasher didn't work for me...I suspect because the bootloader isn't seeing an AVB hash footer on the GSI image. I had a similar experience when I built TWRP without the hash footer.

Unfortunately, I'm getting a segmentation error when trying to add a hash footer to the GSI using avbtool. It's probably a partition size issue, but I haven't had the time to troubleshoot.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Tony Ronaldo Matute:
I had tried different ways also but I give up, the only thing that I can think now is try to use the "reboot to bootloader" feature in TWRP. But well, this processor is going me crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] zfk110:
Once we get TWRP can't we just flash Magisk's zip file within TWRP like normally we do?

Also, after restart the tablet, when I tried to get back into TWRP it took me back to Android regular recovery. I had to flash TWRP again using Odin, after enabling MTP, local storage doesn't mount, I wasn't able to copy data in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Magendanz:
No, you should patch the boot.img using the Magisk app, then flash it using TWRP or pack in a tarball and use Odin. Don't patch the whole AP, as Magisk will substitute a blank vbmeta.img that the bootloader on this device doesn't like.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
Was just going to try this method but I'm on AVC1...I'm assuming I need to be on AVG1?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Rularick5:
As long as the binary number is the same, im assuming dont quote me, you should be able to flash avg1 then magisk then twrp. Just update to the latest firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
I figured that's what I had to do but was trying to avoid that....just rooted a week ago and had no idea about AVG1.

So if I want to upgrade to AVG1 or any other firmware in the future I have to do the whole process again of patching boot.img, flashing through Odin, factory reset and setting up everything again? There's no way to upgrade and retain root?

Any news for GSI? 😹
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Magendanz:
I successfully tested fastbootd with OEM images, but the LineageOS GSI I tried was still getting kernel panics. I assume it has to do with this bootloader's AVB 2.0 requirements, which we can't seem to work around in the usual way with a blank vbmeta.img.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Tony Ronaldo Matute:
"OEM images", so the Google GSI? Also, maybe could the vb meta zip disabler works?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Magendanz:
No, the OEM for this device is Samsung. Please provide a link for this vbmeta disabler, since I've just been using the ones generated by Magisk and my own using avbtool make_vbmeta_image --out vbmeta.img.
