[Xperia Z5 Android Development] psi78:
The thing i don't understand on this crDroid ROM is, that in /default.prop there's the setting

ro.zygote=zygote32

Which is apparently 32 bit, which is potentially bad (?), but i don't know how much impact the setting there has.

However the zygote process is central for Android, being startet at bootup, and apparently running pretty everything, preloading all the apps.

Compiling lineageOS 18.1 however leads to this ROM default.prop setting:

ro.zygote=zygote64_32

Also looks like some old Xperia stuff in /default.prop in crDroid, but can't find yet where to change that.

Anyone got ideas for that?

Edit: ok, apparently default.prop is for initramfs which is loaded before init process. However the docs for initramsfs speak only of kernel 2.6:unsure:

Weird that there are these differences though, because i used the same kernel for crDroid and LOS 18.1 on sumire.

Edit 2: Hmm ok, initramfs seems to use cpio archives and the only cpio file in the product directory of sumire was ramdisk-recovery.cpio, so apparently this is generated by crDroid 7.24 in another way than for LOS 18.1, and not dependent on the kernel sources. As it's only for recovery i guess then the setting in /default.prop has no impact on the booted Android system (?).
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] psi78:
Hmm, getting Android crashes again on this ROM, especially after wiping Dalvik/Cache, and intensive use doing heavy surfing, video watching, downloading.

So possibly it wasn't the tuned kernel leading to crashes before.

I guess i'm going back to LOS18.1 for the moment, try more from there.

Well, i like you crDroid, but for the moment bye bye.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] szpakers:
anybody got this problem? Fingerprint scanner in my xperia 5 III started asking me to clean it so many times and then just stopped working. I think somethings is wrong because when i am touthing it is buzzing but do not recodnising my fingerprint. Tryed to reset phone but still the same resolts. Sometimes its working but most of the time is not.

Help anybody?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] DanielMode:
someone just reset his fingerprints and this helped but i also red poeple faced same problems like u.

sad to say but souds like a hardware problem at your phone maybe.

what Android version are u.??!!!
[Sony Xperia 5 III] szpakers:
12 and i am pretty sure its a hardwere cos i have don already evrything i could to fix it, and i am sending it back to tech support :(
[Sony Xperia 5 III] patrickt:
One other thread had a suggestion of recording one fingerprint twice.
[Sony Xperia 5 III] dima_vy:
My fingerprint scanner stopped working at all recently... I think it worked worse after android 13 upgrade, but honestly I believe that it's a hardware problem... Is there a chance Sony will move to scanners like in Samsung and iPhone, that appears on the phone screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
Having owned the S22 Ultra since release, it's been a very enjoyable phone, but admittedly there were some stutters and animation glitches on OneUI 4.1. Since OneUI 5, the phone's animations are way faster and smoother, and battery life has improved. I'm not sure, but it looks like they kept more of stock Android as a base and made OneUI a themed overlay. Also, Good Lock has been updated and allows nearly endless customization options. Everything from the launcher, to navigation, to QuickSettings panel, to notifications, to themes, to settings menu and button customization. If you don't like the look of OneUI, you can change it any way you want.

I had previously been on the fence about calling a winner between this and the Pixel 7 Pro because of it's cleaner smoother experience, but OneUI 5 brings that smoothness to the S22 Ultra. Sure, unlocking a bootloader and tinkering with root can be fun but constantly having to undo and redo everything after monthly updates is too much work. Being able to do so much without root is a huge advantage.

The S22 Ultra is the best phone you can get hands down, and I say that after using both the Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] winoles:
well, seems that you have had a.very nice experience with this update, I got my S22 ultra 908E 2 weeks ago, it came woth android 12 UI 4.1, and was really doubtful to update it to 13, (when released for my device, that is) as I have read some very negative opinions about it, some have neutral ones, your post is the first one that praises the update so enthusiastically
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
Keep in mind, I'm using the US Snapdragon model. The Exynos models may or may not be performing as well with the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] DenizThe:
I don't think CPU is not the issue on previous version the kernel is.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] winoles:
The S22 Ultra that is distributed in most countries is the snapdargon variant, which is the case in my country, that is why I took interest in your post
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Curious about your thoughts as to how far ahead the overall battery life of the 14 Pro Max is compared to the S22 Ultra and the 7 Pro..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
Battery life wise, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the winner. It is very very efficient. At the end of a day, it will still have 50% remaining with moderate usage. The S22 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro both have similar, great battery life for Android, and you're looking at 30-40% at the end of the day with moderate usage. However, charging is very slow on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, slow on the Pixel 7 Pro above 50%, and quite fast on the S22 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] msegmx:
First time I did not root my phone and I'm quite happy with it. OneUI 5 is also very stable and smooth so far, but I should add that I did not have any issues with v4.1 either.

Two things they should copy from other launchers (i.e. Nova) are the option for padding widgets and also disable the dock completely so that there are different icons on each page.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I think iPhone wins on battery, hands down. I'm a 'much more than moderate' user and it's very rare that I don't have to charge my ultra at some point in the day in order to make it to late evening. I have owned iPhones 12 and 13 pro max and I was rarely, if ever, able to drain the battery fully in a day. I guess it's the way they are designed and operate, one is multi tasking on a platform overlayed on Android on top of someone else's hardware core while the other is fully in-house and mostly single tasking. But I will live with it. I always have a charger nearby and I will put up with the inconvenience of a portable charger because I think Samsung makes fabulous devices and I love the overall experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] celticchrys:
I also want swipe gestures on home screen folders. And compatibility with "regular" launcher icon packs.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] fende:
Maybe because its so easy to customize and also after updating to a major OS release your seeing problems, I have owned the past 6 flagship unlocked phones from Samsung, never had issues, after every major update about every six months I do a full system restore, and don't use Android backup. It may be excessive but my phones has been trouble free. I test a lot of apps for music, video and make a lot of folders and files so my phone gets very used. I'm sure some have legitimate software issues but I've seen that one setting can make or break the user experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] msegmx:
+1 for swipe gestures on folders.

Regular icon packs can be integrated in OneUI now in Theme Park. It's just the other way around, you have open Theme Park first and then select one of the listed, installed icon packs using the icon on the top.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] celticchrys:
I mean "regular" icon pack from the Play Store, not the ones mades specifically for OneUI in the Galaxy Store. What you say does seem to work. I installed Whicons from the Play Store, which is a huge well known icon pack that's been around a long time and is compatible with a ton of launchers that use "standard" icon packs. I cannot find any way for Theme Park to see it. If you could point me at some clear instructions to make this happen, I'd really appreciate it.

Gee, I feel quite silly now. I finally found it. On the one hand, thank you! I am really pleased that this feature is in OneUI, but since it is rather hidden, here are the steps for anyone else who happens across this:

Open Theme Park

On the row of icons along the bottom tap the one called "Icons".

Tap the "Create New" button.

Look for the blue and white icon at the top that looks like a package with a bow on top if you squint right, and tap it.

Then, save it.

Then, apply it.

More complicated than something like Nova Launcher, but at least it is there!

Edited again to add: The problem with this is that any icon that the icon pack doesn't cover just... doesn't have an icon. Only a blank space. So, instead of what happens in Nova Launcher, where you'd just get the default icon for the app, but in white, you get no icon at all.

So near, but so far. Maybe OneUI 5 will be better.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
I don't use OneUI as my launcher and I've noticed a much-improved performance. The S22 Ultra was already a great performer, OneUI 5 made it better.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bodomfan:
What do you use
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
Nova 8 for me. Works beautifully. (y)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bodomfan:
Nova 8,i thought it was 7
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] slider112:
Nova 8 is the latest, however it's not released on the play store as of yet. It says it's a beta, but honestly it's solid as a rock. Been running it since the summer with no issues at all. It's a massive rebase and redesign, with added features and a slick updated Material design. Check it out here:

Nova Launcher

The premier custom launcher for Android, loved by over 50 million.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bodomfan:
It's great, loving it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
So pleased to learn about this. Didn't know.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
I use Microsoft Launcher. I am a Microsoft 365 user, so it integrates well across my devices (Tab S7, Dell desktop, and Surface Pro 6).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] celticchrys:
Yeah! This is my first try using the default Samsung Launcher for more than a day since the TouchWiz of yore, really. Been a Nova user all these years, but since there's no SD card, I was trying to save space and see if I could tolerate OneUI. It has definitely come a long way!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pjaysnowden:
Nova Launcher uses less than 40mb of space. This is basically nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Very light weight, nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Don't reference the total; it will be different for other users. The total will increase as you use it. For perspective. OneUI is 9.6MB in app size, with my total at 25MB.

Microsoft Launcher is considerably larger with an app size of 54MB.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
Nova Launcher works great. For the past few days, battery life has tanked on OneUI 5. Social media apps are each consuming about 10% each, and I'm ending the day with 20-25%, which is about 10-15% less than I did on Android 12. I'm hoping that it will even out with app updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pjaysnowden:
One of these amounts are much...and this is my point. 54mb....25mb....40mb... these are nothing compared to 128GB...256GB...

You literally "splitting hairs".
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] KHSH01:
I got my device through trade-in second hand. It is Korean variant with SD. And I can confirm that the battery life has improved ever so slightly after the update to Android 13. I used to think the SD 8 Gen 1 was a toaster after hearing everything on the internet. And I think I've seen it throttle once on Android 12. But after Android 13 I played the same games and kept an eye on the fps and never saw it go below 55 fps in open world areas. Although super dense areas with lots of clutter the fps goes down to 45.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
No. I'm being accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] pjaysnowden:
Uh huh
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] msegmx:
You can also change icons individually, reset them to their default state and change colors, shapes etc. Just choose "Change Icons" in the menu in Theme Park (on the screen where you choose the icon pack).

Obviously, OneUI is behind popular launchers, but at least it is Samsung, not a third-party app.

My problem with 3rd party apps is that they need permission to read the screen among others. e.g. launchers or apps like Button Mapper.

It seems like Samsung devs are hesitant when it comes to improving OneUI with features that other launchers already have.

Also, moderators can give quite stupid answers as seen here, where a user asks "When will samsung allow to remove dock?" :

When will samsung allow to remove dock?

I using S22 Ultra, OneUI 5.1. I want to take advantage of the bottom space to add widgets. but until now this feature to remove/ hide the dock didn't deploy. I expect Samsung to deploy this feature just like another Launcher did ( e.g: Nova Launcher). Thereby users can customize more and take...

eu.community.samsung.com

I've come across many questions where these kinds of answers were given as if the user doesn't know how to create a new page :)

Another request was about removing the page indicators right above the dock and a moderator answered with something similar to "when you remove all the icons on all the other pages, those pages get closed and the indicators vanish".

Seriously Samsung.. 🥱
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] celticchrys:
Ah,yes, I saw the option to individually change icons, but there are too many for the effort to seem worth it.

I definitely agree about the silliness of the Samsung mods! At times, I wonder if there's a language barrier. At times, I wonder if they're idiots, and at times, I think they are all bots. I've never gotten good help from one. Only from another user. I think the same is true of some other big companies as well.

I may go back to a third party launcher in time, but it seemed like a good idea to give the default a chance and try something new.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] BuPL:
Did you guys do a full wipe or is app booster enough?

Cant wait to update my phone. Sadly One UI 5 isnt avaliable in Brazil yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] matty100147:
Battery life certainly hasn't improved for me, on Android 12 I was getting 6hr SOT since updating to a13 I can get no more than 3hr 30mins, done a factory reset and still no different, Samsung has completely destroyed a brilliant phone for me with the new update
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I'm guessing, with no proof whatsoever, that you have an app doing that.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] V0latyle:
I mean..."best phone" is always subjective, and if my experience with Samsung holds true for the S22, I'm not sure a software update would make up for what I see as some pretty significant shortcomings, like no ability to directly flash partitions via ADB, and the stubborn refusal to move to the A/B slot seamless updates model...But these are true of pretty much all Samsung devices. That's why I like my Pixel, as a power user.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] doubledragon5:
LOL, The S22 U is the best on battery life, compared to the Iphone.. Of course this is my opinion as my daughter and gradson, never seem to have enough because of what they do. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Lol... I hope for your sake you're not comparing the S22 U overall battery life to the iPhone 14 pro max because it's not even close..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
Sure, whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] doubledragon5:
Na, they have the 13. LOL

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] hrm5023:
I just tried the Artemis USPL and it did not seem to work correctly.

Once the initialization was 100% my phone kind of went blank screen, and everything still continued. My activesync was green light turned off as well, but the rom update still ran and at the end I got 100% congractulation.

The rom update utility did not recognize my image file, because I got no information for my current image. Yet it updated 100%.

I am not sure if it worked or not. Could anyone let me know how to find out if the UPSL actually worked or not, I do not want to brick my device.

Thank you in advance.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] wmnone:
Same thing happened with mine.

If you read the pdf which is in the same topic you can see that its normal ;)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] hrm5023:
So it worked?? because it does not seem at all like it worked, is there a way to verify that it worked??
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] sheennick123456:
well... if the update is successful you should have a new ROM in your phone(the 1 that you hav just flashed)

go to start > settings > system > device info
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Zecanilis:
Restart you PDA...

In your first boot screen you'll see numbers after IPL, SPL, etc..

If you have SPL 1.11.0000 then USPL worked ok!

what you should do is ask in its rom thread. here is the link

ask in every thread that doesnt specify his compatible roms. it might or not work with your phone. samsung is picky about this, dont flash stuff until you find an experienced opinion.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Q4Rspwn:
Started suddenly a month ago, when the battery died. Charged it up in the truck, bootlooped for about 20 minutes then booted as normal. Didn't reflect too much, it's done this many flat battery times before.

Now battery's long full, also have a second OEM one with the "charging kit". Yet the device keeps bootlooping.

Recovery mode (vol dn + power) = no recovery. Goes straight into boot loop.

Download mode (vol up only) = enters download mode for 2-3 seconds, then starts to boot loop.

Fastboot mode (vol dn only) = shows the fastboot menu and stays there. Can't/don't know how to pick an option.

There is stuff on this phone I'd like to save. Possible or done for good?

Thanks,
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Q4Rspwn:
She's alive! 2-4 hours looping plugged in, did the trick and finally booted it up. Strange as hell. Also factory reset it 3-4 times, but that didn't apply. Good enough for me, time to save data.
[General Questions and Answers] Yukusoona:
Dear forum,

I have the following problem:

I broke my telephone (Samsung S9, water damage). I had to buy a new phone (Samsung S20 FE) and I reinstalled whatsapp. Unfortunately, there was no retrievable whasapp backup in google drive so I had to start clean in whatsapp. Now after two weeks I have managed to run my broken telephone with the help of HDMI/external monitor, bluetooth mouse and bluetooth keyboard. I reactivated whatsapp on my old telephone and made a backup of all my chats and media to google drive. Furthermore I did a local backup by copying the whole whatsapp folder.

Does anybody know a way how to integrate my old whatsapp into the newly started whatsapp on my new phone? I could delete the new whatsapp, reinstall whatsapp and then I would be able to retrieve my freshly made backup. But this would lose all my current chats from the last two weeks.

Does anybody know a trick? I know about the existence of backup files in the whatsapp folder but there seems to be no way to make whatsapp read more than one file and mingle their contents to one single master version...

Thanks in advance!
