[Galaxy S II Android Development] MaRtYy01:
Wow, thank you for the hard work! Didn't expect to see android 13 on the s2, so this was a pleasant surprise, gonna keep me awake tonight. I got a second galaxy s2 a few days ago, so I will definitely try this out.

Unfortunately, it appears that the provided download of the rom is corrupted, attempting to flash it on the phone returns a ''zip file is corrupt error'' and on further inspection most files are missing from the zip compared to lineage os 19.1, 7zip also reports that the archive is corrupted while trying to extract it. I already tried downloading it three times just to be certain, no avail.

Maybe something is up with AFH, initially it says 506.2MB, then starts downloading 131MB?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zpunout:
I'm only getting 131MB out of 506MB of the zip file as well on Android File Host.

Also, congrats rlNanDo for keeping development alive for the i9100! I'm glad I have this phone just to see what's possible.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rINanDO:
I see! Hmm that's strange. I'll try uploading it again.

Edit: It succeeds uploading, but when downloading it is still a portion of the actual file size of 506MB.... I will try uploading later the day.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rINanDO:
Unbelievable.. I still can't upload. It now fails instead of a faulty success message after upload. Has anyone an idea to host roms besides androidfilehost?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheVoice70:
Home - MEGA

Secure and private cloud storage for everyone. Store and share files, chat, meet, back up, sync, and more.

mega.io

maybe....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rINanDO:
Thanks! I uploaded the rom here:

506.17 MB file on MEGA

mega.nz
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ran000:
Thank you for long life famous subj.

Work well here.

Please, look at possibility to upload both installation files to Mega. Could not get androidfilehost since your announcement.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] itsAlphaFox:
Just installed it on my S2! Seems to be running alright so far. Here are some bugs I'm facing right now.

Text is small in the launcher (and very slightly so in Settings?)

Brightness does not work

Bluetooth does not connect to headset (Pixel Buds A)

Cameras do not work

Getting random crashes during usage

Small dot in lock screen when password is not set, around the same location as a lock would be when a password is set

No ambient display settings

Camera preview is wide until first picture is taken

I'll update this list as I spot things on Build #1.

Awesome that Android 13 even runs on this thing! Amazing job to the whole team that brought this to life!

If this list seems critical, I really don't mean it that way. I just want to try help spot bugs

Something similarly is possible with Apple M1 notebooks if i remember correctly. 🤔

This is very impressive 👏
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] sosimple:
Fantastic project, but almost no one can do it as it is very difficult.. Didn't expect so bad work from Samsung regarding cooling..
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] mutonic:
quite disappointing to see we need to open that tab to get the full potential from it..

bought the S8 at 380€ (discounted price + trading old broken tablet) but still find it expensive for a device with supposedly the most powerful soc and sometimes lagging in games .

that reminds me of a video with a guy modding a mid-range phone and getting better perfs than GEN1..

Is the process for opening it very risky? I keep bad taste of opening a previous windows tablet to repair its screen and ended up completely breaking it..

yeah on MBA you get same perf passively cooled as actively cooled MBP (like in this vid)

the difference is that it seems so much easier to open MBA than this tablet where you need to remove its screen to get inside..😩
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] mariasanchez:
Nice !

Thermal paste to the shield and then thermal pad to the whole aluminium frame ? If that's correct I'd say Samsung did a good job. They just didn't cover them fully that's all.

Do you happen to have the exact position of the SoC on the frame ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] vangry2020:
I wonder what temps you would get with liquid metal.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] shadowofdeth:
Man this makes me angry. How incompetent are Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] JohnTheFarm3r:
Samsung didn't even do CLOSE to a good job. Yes, I can post some screenshots from the video of the disassembly and you'll see where the SOC is under that Alumium shield and how are the thermal pads positioned.

It's a JOKE whoever's idea was to do it like this. The SOC (the actual heat source) is not even touching the thermal pads, only the side of that shield is, hence why are there such high INSTANT temperature peaks when you launch something demanding, like a game or a benchmark test.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] JohnTheFarm3r:
Actually nothing much. LM would only help with idle temps, they would be definitely lower due to higher thermal conductivity, but under stress/load you would be still hitting the thermal threshold due to the cooling capacity limit. LM doesn't increase the cooling capacity limit, it only increases the thermal conductivity and faster heat transfer.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Jake.S:
I think Samsungs idea was to use back plate made of aluminum as a way to cool the galaxy tab s8 ultra down. By letting heat spread out into aluminum. Which is probably why.

If now back side was removed.

Update: NVM after checking pictures in main topic closer i saw now that it was glas and display that was removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] sosimple:
Because i couldn't understand exactly what you did, i searched for a disassembly video. This one i think is the best. After 4th minute it shows the chip.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] infinitist:
This is amazing. Thanks for sharing this, I'm probably going to end up doing something similar eventually but for now am trying to enable my simcard slot in the WiFi version ... I'm guessing they were too lazy to make 2 versions and just disabled the WiFi versions sim slot, they even glued a fake simcard to the tray .. it's hilarious
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] mariasanchez:
Thanks a lot for the detailed pics ! I'll give it a go as well but just for fun, I never experienced slowdowns on the tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] Jake.S:
That is microsd slot not sim. Sim in wifi model probably also missing SIM chip and 4G chip and such. So you can't enable any SIM in wifi model.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] mariasanchez:
I ended up grinding the frame on the back to expose the CPU thank to the pictures you posted. Extremely easy to do with the 1mm aluminium frame, it grinds even at low speed.

Then I put a 17x17x1.3mm copper spacer with thermal paste on the CPU, and finally a big but very thin copper plate taped on the back. This way you can even switch the copper plate with a small fan if you're a hardcore player/benchmarker.

I can fill its heat now when touching the plate. Home, Task switcher, Fennec and co feel extremely smooth and snappy but seriously it was probably already like that before.

Anyways again thanks a lot ! Thanks to your thread I was able to locate the chip to grind the frame (3 to 23mm from the pen and 10 to 36mm from the camera).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] niveZz:
did you try undervolting your gpu? that might help too
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] RHShanks:
Hello there! Very nice thermal mod, i hope i can do it too but i probably wont be able to. Btw whats the cpu/gpu usage and temp monitor were you using in your benchmark screenshots? And is that fairly accurate unlike perf z from game plugins?

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 2me3:
I will probably try out both stock and custom roms after unlocking. I hope to use a GCAM port for the camera. Should I bother downgrading to get the DRM keys first?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] tonsofquestions:
There's little downside to it, other some initial work. It increases your options for which ROMs you can use - especially if you want to consider Stock Oreo.

Is it worth it? Only you can say. I'd still do it if it were me.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 2me3:
Thank you for the thoughtful response. Do you know if the gcam ports require TA keys?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] tonsofquestions:
It's been a while, but my memory is that it's an OS level issue, not a app level one.

If that's correct, then it won't matter if it's a gcam port, the ROM/kernel will be the deciding element.

That said, it's been quite some time since I've experimented with it, and mine have been backed up. So I can't say for certain.

[Google Pixel 7] WeiirdFiishes:
Hi All, I have just received my Pixel 7 and am really disappointed with how dull and washed out the display looks. When comparing it to my current OnePlus 8t's display it is lacking a lot of vibrancy and color accuracy. It has a slight green tint that makes viewing photo's a very sub-par experience.

Is anybody else having the same experience? also, is there a way to change the color profile manually?
[Google Pixel 7] bitojoe:
I agree that the color on the Pixel 7 is a bit off. The "Natural" color profile is extremely dull and I feel like the "Adaptive" color profile is just weird. Sometimes I feel like it has a green or yellow hue and the blues and whites aren't popping enough...

I'm coming from a Oneplus 6T and have been using the "Display P3" or "AMOLED Wide Gamut" profiles for as long as I can remember but I wanted to see if the 6T's "Natural" profile looked similar to the Pixel 7's "Natural" profile for comparison and after putting them side-by-side, it seems to me that they are near identical.

Now I'm no expert but I feel like this means that the Pixel 7's "Adaptive" profile could be improved or that they could simply add in more profiles in the future. But one thing is for sure, I really don't like the default profiles on the Pixel 7 and I'd like if they tweaked them asap.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
it jsut take your eyes a few days to adapt to it, I thought Natural looks fine...
[Google Pixel 7] WeiirdFiishes:
That's the problem, I can't get used to it as it looks that bad.

It looks like others have noticed the same issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] OrionExodus:
Hello together

I have a problem with my s10+ (SM-G975F)

everytime I try to flash a new firmware it says its lower than the fw installed on my phone. It's currently version 16 and stuck in a boot loop. is there a custom from or firmware out with version 16 or greater?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] OrionExodus:

[General Questions and Answers] ruq:
Please advise. I really **Really** want to be sure that if I try to backup my sister's phone that I do it properly and can fully and cleanly restore it to a new ROM with no issue. (Be sure that I'll also do external backups of Photos and SMS/MMS databases and whatever else possible onto a computer first, in case of data loss or if I screw up.)

---

Okay, so here's the situation: (Google Pixel 6 Pro)

So I installed a custom ROM on my sisters brand new phone a couple of months back. Problem is, the dev behind said ROM may stop maintaining it due to personal reasons. I'll need to in this case switch her phone to another ROM, so that she continues to receive security updates. By the sounds of it I have to wipe the phone completely when switching ROMs, including the user partition. (Correct me if wrong.)

I'm still fairly new to the custom ROM/unlocked bootloader world, so I wanted to kindly ask around for advice on how to **Properly** backup her phone in such a way that I can later fully restore her photos, SMS/MMS, apps, etc. more or less as though I never switched ROMs on her.

I've already heard of TWRP, but the phone doesn't have a version for it. I also heard about the promising Migrate app posted here. Last but not least is the ADB backup feature--however I also heard some conflicting information suggesting that of late Google is deprecating that feature and making it useless. (Please correct if wrong.) I'm still fairly new to the whole custom ROM scene (and rooting too, but in this case her phone is unrooted, only bootloader unlocked with a custom ROM).
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Rule #1 - if a OS is fast, stable and fulfilling it's mission... let it be! Updates can and do break things. Pie and higher are relatively secure unless you do stupid things. This stock, optimized N10+ is still running on Pie; last update >2.5 years, current load is over 2 yo. Still fast, stable and secure. I spend very little time doing maintenance and this load runs like a bat out of hell. What's not to like?

If you have to reload latter so be it. Don't go looking for trouble by messing with firmware unless you absolutely need to. Taking a more conservative approach will save you time and trouble in the long run. Google doesn't care about your time or the trouble their updates cause you.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There should be no reason to need to wipe user partition. It should only be necessary to, at most, wipe the system partition(stock ROM), data partition(user installed apps and user settings), cache partition and dalvik/ART cache then flash the ROM. These wipes will wipe system data, your user settings, user installed apps and their corresponding app data. These wipes will not wipe data/media, the partition where your photos, videos, downloaded files, etc.. are stored.

You can backup the app data for the user installed apps by connecting to PC then use the PC file manager to open your device's internal storage, go to the Android/data folder, in that folder is all of your user app data. Copy the Android/data folder to your PC. After you install your ROM, reinstall all of the user apps that were installed then you can connect to PC and then copy your backed up Android/data folder over to your device to overwrite the ROMs existing Android/data folder. This will restore your app data for your user installed apps.

Contacts should be backed up to Google and restored when signing into the device after the new ROM boots and re-syncing the device.

You will need to backup your SMS/MMS texts via a separate method. Just do a search for:

"Backup and Restore SMS android"

That should find several methods. Use a method that you are comfortable with.

If you use WhatsApp, backing up and restoring WhatsApp, WhatsApp account and your WhatsApp messages requires it's own specific method. You can find the method by doing a search for:

"Backup and restore WhatsApp"

Sorry, if I knew its specific method, I would explain it.

Is there anything else that you don't want to risk losing or anything specific that is on your device that you 100% absolutely need to be certain gets retained/restored after the update?

What custom ROM are you coming from and what ROM are you going to? Depending on the ROMs in question, you might be able to dirty flash the ROM.

I used the lenovo rescue assistant to go back to stock after trying out LineageOS (it was unstable for me). everything worked for about 2 days until the phone started freezing on whatever screen it was on at the time (off, home, call, chrome, etc.). When it was not frozen, I also noticed Google Play Services or Moto App Launcher stopped working constantly until a reboot.

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] Supreme_One:
I'm using this fantastic phone for over 3.5 years and I'm still impressed with the battery life, although my fingerprint sensor is not working 100% and my main camera not focusing anymore. I'm still glad with the overall performance.

I'm wondering which phone has similar battery life I'm thinking of replacing this phone as the camera and fingerprint issue becomes annoying at times. Which new phone is a good Huawei P30 Pro replacement?
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] astralbee:
Writing this on my 3 year old P30 pro, too.

Fingerprint sensor - have you tried retraining it? Really make sure you move your finger around to ensure it can recognise your print from so angles. Also, there's a trick I've seen online for improving fingerprint recognition, but possibly at the risk of reducing security slightly. It involves retraining and alternating between your left and right hands so it learns a hybrid of two prints. Somehow it reduces how strict the recognition is.

And I take it you've given the lens a good clean? A dirty lens won't focus. Have you tried it without a case to check the case isn't inhibiting the focus?

As for replacement... the newer Huawei phone are missing Google apps. Samsung's flagships are expensive and the cameras not as good as the P30. The Oppo X5 Pro and Xiaomi 12 Pro both have pretty good front cameras but the rest of the array isn't that great and the front facing cameras are garbage. The Pixel 7 Pro has an impressive camera but early reviews are saying the battery life is not what they claim and plenty of former P30 users are saying it feels like a downgrade!

Basically, there's nothing like the P30 Pro. It really was something very special, and it's no wonder Apple crapped their pants and got the US government to ban Google from supporting Huawei.
