I can't get adaptive hz on the phone 😥it's greyed out
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Yad13l:
Hola Saludos y felicitaciones por el excelente desarrollo de la app, estoy encantado con la misma Quisiera sugerir para próximas actualizaciones algunas mejoras como por ejemplo en el apartado de configuración por aplicación añadir un apartado de retraso de Hz osea que cambie los hz solo pasado cierto tiempo 1 segundo 1.5, 2 etc... puesto que actualmente uso esa configuración y baja muy rapido apenas toco la app y eso da cierto lag de animación, si se pudiera modificar ese tienpo la animación fjera a 120 hz y pasado 1.5 o 2 segundos de app abierta la frecuencia se ajuste a como la hayamos configurado Espero tomen en cuenta esta sugerencia para próximas actualizaciones. Saludos

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Yad13l:
Hello, greetings and congratulations for the excellent development of the application, I am delighted with it. I would like to suggest some improvements for future updates, such as, for example, in the configuration section per application, add a Hz delay section, meaning that the hz changes only after a certain time. 1 second 1.5, 2 etc... since I currently use that configuration and it drops very quickly as soon as I touch the application and that gives a certain animation lag, if that time could be modified the animation would be at 120 Hz and after 1.5 or 2 seconds of open app the frequency adjusts to how we have configured it. I hope you take this suggestion into account for future updates. Greetings.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Yad13l:
I think so, not much

Hey guys. Recently I've got a Pixel 6 Pro device.

I'm trying to run a virtual machine on my phone with additional security features of Android 13 kernel which is called protected KVM(pKVM).

After following the steps of the documentation, I encountered the errors below.

View attachment 5698245

The kernel I'm running on my Pixel 6 Pro device is the latest Android 13 kernel. The command I ran is:

/apex/com.android.virt/bin/crosvm run --protected-vm -p 'root=/dev/vda' --rwdisk ${my_disk_image} ${my_kernel_image}

Has anyone solved these errors or launched a protected virtual machine successfully?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I haven't tried yet, but I'm a heavy virtual device user so I would definitely be interested if anyone has any luck.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] headheadhead:
Although I haven't run a vm with --protected-vm option so far, I successfully ran a vm by following the steps in the link below.

How to Boot Linux in a VM on the Pixel 6

Android 13 adds a virtualization feature. Here's how to use it to run Linux in a VM.

blog.esper.io

Thanks for replying!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You're welcome. Your response reminded me that there was an XDA article on the subject about VMs on the Pixel 6 as well, although it probably won't help with what you're trying to do.

Android 13 DP1 allows Google Pixel 6 to run full-fledged Windows 11 as a VM

The Android 13 DP1 unlocks the full KVM functionality on the Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. You can now boot Windows 11 and Linux VMs on these phones.

Hi, I too followed the instruction, but could not get it to run. Can someone tell me how they built their kernel?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rgarcia1000:
Just to clarify I have built several kernels, and I can get them to run but it won't mount my file system. Can anyone show me how they built their kernel?

I am trying to run a Linux kernel in the VM
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] headheadhead:
I can run a VM with following command.

/apex/com.android.virt/bin/crosvm run -p 'root=/dev/vda' --rwdisk ${my_disk_image} ${my_kernel_image}

The kernel I built is the linux mainline kernel. The image I used is ubuntu cloud image.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

Hi Head,

I read what you wrote to Rich..

You are running amd64 on the pixel?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blundergat:
How are you guys getting / building your kernels? Been trying to get this to work too.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] headheadhead:
Sorry for the mistake. I ran arm64 on pixel. lt is now corrected.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] headheadhead:
Use the Linux mainline kernel. You can find several tutorials about building the Linux mainline kernel.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rgarcia1000:
I used Linux 5.17-rc3 and compiled.

>make ARCH=aarm64 with allnoconfig. then I edit the .config file for kvm.

But I still can't get it to mount the root file system.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rgarcia1000:
Been asking for this also, I don't know if I am building the Kernel right.

Head if it is not too much trouble can you show use what you did to build the kernel?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blundergat:
Thanks for the pointer! I've built kernels in the past but forgive me for such a stupid question. You're building this on your pc not your phone right? I keep getting this error on Arch.

Makefile:625: arch/aarm64/Makefile: No such file or directory

However I can build doing "make ARCH=arm64".
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rgarcia1000:
What kernel did you download?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rgarcia1000:
The make file can't find your kernel sources

Is looking at /usr/src/linux-headers-xxxx but not found arch/aarch64/Makefile
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rgarcia1000:
Hi,

Is this the kernel you used: ubuntu-20.04-server-cloudimg-arm64-root.tar.xz

If so How do I complie this? Its not a source code
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] headheadhead:
I can list the commands I ran.

git clone https://github.com/torvalds/linux
cd linux
export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
make defconfig
make -j8

I think the keyword is "crosscompile linux kernel"

You will find the Image file under arch/arm64/boot.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] headheadhead:
This is not the kernel, this is the disk image with root filesystem.

I'm sorry that I am not able to provide the commands of making the disk image, since they are provided by my mentor.

Without the consent of my mentor, I can't provide the commands.

I can roughly describe the steps.

First, create an raw disk image with qemu-img.

Next, use mkfs.ext4 to create a filesystem in the image you make with qemu-img.

After you make an ext4 filesystem, mount it and extract ubuntu-20.04-server-cloudimg-arm64-root.tar.xz under the directory that you mount the disk image.

You may have to do a little more work, like:

disable could init: https://gist.github.com/zoilomora/f862f76335f5f53644a1b8e55fe98320 (see the prevent start section)

disable root password login: Under the directory you mount the image, change the first line of etc/passwd to this: root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash.

Finally, unmount the directory.

You just make a disk image that can be used with the following command.

/apex/com.android.virt/bin/crosvm run --protected-vm -p 'root=/dev/vda' --rwdisk ${my_disk_image} ${my_kernel_image}
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Perseu5:
Why is no one just posting a kernel image? I will get one compiled tonight and test it, as long as it works I will provide instructions and upload it for the community.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blundergat:
Thank you! I finally got booted because of your post. The only issue now is that inside the vm I have absolutely no wifi, I can't even ping.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rgarcia1000:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fone_fanatic:
he renamed the folder to d so it could start with anything.

to help him out go through your hklm registry and see what folder you have that he doesn't. and it should have the contents of what he initially posted.

you probably attempted to hard reset by going to clear storage in settings right?

if so hold down the volume down and center button, then press the stylus in the soft reset hole. Keep holding down volume down and center until it comes up with a message on your screen saying its gonna clear all data yada yada and there you go.

IF that doesnt work.. i guess re-flash the rom.

i just hard resetted. works fine now. lost all settings though.

Too late, but it was the Software folder, based on the content you list.

I know you already have a Software folder but it was probably recreated empty by some program.

[Apple iPhone 12 Questions & Answers] Network_Pro:
Every device can have some issue that needs adressing somehow, hardware, software.- this is why a Forum is a good place to see what problems each device may have.

Keep Android because the price to feeature as well as the ability to load free apps, is worht it dealing with more settings.

On apple the privacy settings are less and are all under Settings. Some are on iCloud/Apple account. All in all much less knobs than Samsung for example.

The iCloud sync is a data leak risk you don't know who can touch that and when and how and why.

However if the device is a positive in your life, then keep it , use both platforms.

[General Questions and Answers] dnfm:
I'm looking for an app that behaves like a launcher, but isn't an actual launcher/home app: multi screen, can use widgets, has an app drawer, etc, but doesn't specify itself as a launcher program.

Basically, I want to use is as one of the sides in a split screen configuration, but any app that defines itself as a home screen app android will treat differently and give most of the screen real estate to when it's running.

Google fails me because any search terms I can come up with to search for such an app just gives me useless listicles of 'the best android launchers!'

Any suggestions?

Split Screen Launcher - Apps on Google Play

Launch two apps on the screen simultaneously.

[General Questions and Answers] dnfm:
No, that's an app that just launches apps in split screen. I want basically a launcher that runs as an app and not a home screen.
[General Questions and Answers] Renate:
Well, you still want your "splitable" Launcher to handle the home button/intent, so I think the only answer is to patch Android so that the Home app can be split screened.

There's some logic in there for older apps ("this app is too old and can't operate split screen"), probably some for Home activity.
[General Questions and Answers] dnfm:
Not really -- I'm ok with using a completely different app for my actual home screen. I effectively just want an app to behave exactly like a launcher, only not to tell Android it is a launcher.

I realise this may not exist. If it doesn't I'll probably just find an open source one and modify it accordingly; I was just hoping it was already a thing.

Hello everyone,

1. How does Google account work, if I have google account does it mean that every Google app in the phone is using the same Google account? e.g. Google Photos, Drive, Playstore...

2. If I do not have Google account can I use any gmail to login Playstore so I can download from Playstore? Can I use the gmail to login playstore, download app, then logout of playstore, without adding the gmail to become google account?

3. If I have Google account e.g john@gmail.com, can I use another different gmail e.g. johnnyrobinson@gmail.com to login Playstore?

4. If I do not have Google Photos app, I have Google account, does Google account backup contains all photos and videos? Does Google account and Google Photos backup exact same images and videos?

5. If I have a new phone, what is the difference of restore backup from Google account vs Samsung account vs restore backup by using Samsung smart switch transfer from old phone?

6. Is there something like Playstore that do not require any login?

Thanks.

(updated to add at 5. vs Samsung account)
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
1. Yes

2. No. Gmail accounts are automatically Google play accounts.

3. Yes

4. Google account does not backup your photos. Photos app backups your photos. If you install that app and don't modify your settings, it will backup your apps through photos app.

5. If you have the same info on both, there will be no difference. If you did not logged in into Google play, then backup from google play won't work.
