My Old Computer is slow down when changes to WSL2​

Note: May be there are someone wants to modify GSI suitably for their device.​

Modified sub-partition of super.img​

Step by Step​

CREATE CustomAP for Odin Flashing with Patching Dynamic Partitions.​

*** the continue part of Step by Step CREATE CustomAP framework file for GSI Flashing with Odin.

(Required Win10 with wsl2 or Ubuntu or VirtualBox)

What are we doing now ?​

1) unpacking super.raw with imjtool. ( super.img.lz4 -->super.img-->super.raw)

2) resizing system.img (in order to insert our modifications to the rom)

3) mounting system.img

4) do our modifications

5) umounting system

6) shrink edited system.img to the minimal size

7) generating new super.img

8) Create customAP file ( for flashing it to our device with odin.)

>>>>Part 1 (update to used win10 + WSL2) is here. https://xdaforums.com/t/update-13-o...s-a12-a13-installation.4473159/#post-87204333

Steps ( Essencial tools)​

Extract Sub-Partition inside super.img.lz4 tool​

## Download Samsung framework file. (Stock Firmware) with

Bifrost.

## Extract "super.img.lz4" from (AP framework file) with (unzip FILE.zip) command. or uses utility from win 10

## Decompress "super.img" from "super.img.lz4" with LZ4 command

## sparse format ""super.raw" from "super.img" with simg2img command

## Use imjtool to extract the partitions of super.raw. Notice that partitions in a super image are split into several groups.

(The exact grouping varies across devices/OS versions, so one should always use imjtool to check first.)

Code:

wget http://newandroidbook.com/tools/imjtool.tgz && tar xzvf imjtool.tgz

imjtool v2.0 beta1

*You may also use the official lpunpack for extraction but it can’t display the group schema.

Code:

./imjtool.ELF64 super.raw extract

output:

MMapped: 0x7f5f4a89d000, imgMeta 0x7f5f4a89e000

liblp dynamic partition (super.img) - Blocksize 0x1000, 2 slots

Hello, first of all i wanna say Hi to the community :)

I have a small question, im using PHILIPS 55PUS7303 and i was wondering if there is any way to make android work faster?

even after factory reset it works as slow as a turtle. Any chance to downgrade or for example use some other system? Most important thing is, i dont wanna lose my ambilight features.

TV is up to date, i checked, there is no new updates .

Thanks a lot and i hope You all have a good day! :)

Hi friends,

I have a problem with WhatsApp:

Even if I receive any messages, it will go directly into silent notification.

I used to use Beta WhatsApp so I uninstalled it and installed the current version with Gogle Play and granted all rights!

But the error is still the same, no sounds when receiving a message!

Other applications and notifications are OK

Did anyone of you guys faced issues with notifications of WhatsApp messenger application?

[Connected Car] BrownBear1991:
Hi, I am using Carlinkit AI box (Model CPC200-Tbox Mini) with Android 11 for use in my car (Mustang Mach E). The screen is pristine but I have an issue where my touches are registered about 2 inches lower than where I actually touch the screen - this happens anywhere on the screen. Is there a solution or alternatively is there an app that will allow me to manually shift where the touchscreen input registers down by 2 inches which would sort it out.

Thanks for the assist.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wellkevi01:
If you're using either Straight Talk, or Tracfone with their Verizon SIM, I would avoid the Unlocked Pixel 7 & 7 Pro for right now. I'm not sure if it's the phones themselves, or an issue with the carrier, or a combination of both, but it seems they're not compatible. I got my 7 Pro on Wednesday and tried using my ST Verizon SIM and it wouldn't work. I'm coming from a Oneplus 9 Pro and the SIM works just fine.

I say it could be an issue with either the phone, or with ST/TF because when I contacted Google Support to initiate an exchange, the only phone they would let me order with my RMA was the Google Fi version. I contacted support again about not being able to order the Unlocked version. I sent them a screenshot of my order email and a picture of the phones box with the SKU, all of which pointed to the phone being the Unlocked version. They agreed and I'm now waiting for them to resolve the issue of me not being able to buy the Unlocked version through my RMA request. So maybe there could be an issue on Googles end with the Unlocked version of the pixel 7/7 Pro.

I also say it could be an issue with ST/TF, becasue Verizon has recently bought Tracfone and all of their subsidiaries, Straight Talk being one of them. Because of this, I'm not sure if they've basically merged the services to the point where you would need the Verizon version of the phone in order for it to work. This is just speculation on my part though. I did contact Straight Talk support first, where they checked my IMEI/ICCID numbers, which matched what they were seeing on their end. They also ran me through the usual troubleshooting list, with nothing fixing the issue.

Here's a link to a couple threads with people having the same issue. The first one is one I posted the other day:

https://reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/y2erhe/is_anyone_else_using_a_straight_talk_verizon_sim/

https://reddit.com/r/StraightTalk/comments/y3cq9s/upgrading_to_pixel_7_byop/

If anyone is actually using a Straight Talk/Tracfone Verizon SIM in their P7/P7 Pro, please, leave a comment and let me know how you got it to work..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Anubis366:
I am having the same issue with the phone reading the SIM Data just fine but will not connect to any cell towers, I did a bunch of research and there are several people with this same issue and some report doing a software update on the phone resolved their problem. I have not been as lucky as these people as I still have the issue with my phone.

As for the "Verizon" version of the phone there is no such thing for the P7P as the unlocked version and verizon version are the same model number for the phone which includes the 5G mmWave.

The update takes over an hour so be prepared for that
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wellkevi01:
Oh yea, I already tried the update(didn't fix the issue) the other day, and yes, it took over an hour to install.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
There are lots of compatibility issues. I tried signing up for eSIM on a bunch of MVNOs and prepaid plans last night and to my amazement the only one that worked was AT&T Prepaid -- and it's not supposed to work with Pixels on the activation portal.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jidoohanbaiki:
Pixel 7 with the Straight Talk Verizon SIM here. Works fine on my Pixel 6.

I also tried the latest Pixel 7 software update, and it did not resolve the issue.

For what it's worth, I just contacted Google support. The representative told me they did not have any reports of this issue yet. I directed them to this post as well as another under the GooglePixel subreddit and one under the StraightTalk subreddit. I submitted all of my information to them and sent screenshots of the SIM not connecting. They are escalating the issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Anubis366:
Just took my phone back to Best Buy. They had some more in stock so I tried another one straight out of the box without doing the update and that one is not reading my SIM and connecting to the towers either..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kkjb:
Google Fi sim has issues for me. Flashed latest Oct factory and BL unlock and root. Let sit overnight and installed sim. Looks like at moment of sim registration to cellular enabling it causes a reboot. Tried a few times and sometimes airplane mode would be on, and no sim (blank) or times just bootloop cycling. Removing sim, bootloop cycling stopped. Then airplane mode, but wifi can be on. So reflash latest again, no root. Same thing happening.

Support still clueless and escalation has begun.

Sim back in my 6a and all is fine.

I do know some data is pushed into system upon a Fi sim insertion been that way since my pixel 3. My local coverage is us cellular which requires a locked BL, but fortunately on Fi it works without a locked BL.

So thought to add, likely we need a immediate G side update...

Same issues with Total by Verizon (Total Wireless, another former tracfone) on my Pixel 7 as well as many others. Multiple sims and another carrier sim verified working in my phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] -Izik-:
Cross-posting this from reddit-

Brief update for everyone in the thread or lurking- Talked to Google support just now.

The tech I spoke explained that this is now a known widespread issue that has been escalated and is "top priority" (his words) for the engineers.

He documented my IMEI and added it to the ongoing ticket. I should be getting a follow-up email sometime in the future when a workaround is found.

I'd recommend calling to do the same ASAP to make sure that they are aware how widespread the issue is.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JakeDHS07:
I am using it on Fi coming from my Pixel 4 XL. Instead of moving the sim card from my old phone I decided to use eSIM with this one and leave the card in the old one and it's working perfectly.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kkjb:
Excellent news ....for some.

I have many many devices on at any one moment and using the SIM vs eSIM allows me to keep the other non-phone devices on. Yes I could disable eSIM and still leave on. Unfortunately since I also reboot, flash different modules, roms, and in general leave only one as the sim activated device... Honestly if this is now a new thing, disclosure would be nice. No other pixel I've owned requires eSIM only. I will have to rethink my G. Fi future. Fortunately I'm now free of Fi device payments for purchase.

Edit update-- Seems on a Google Fi SIM that was used on my pixels 3, 4a, 4a5g, 6, 6a (2) working just fine...was the problem with 7 pro.

No good answer from Fi CS but they said to use a never used Fi sim. Which I had on hand.

Normal first SIM start and log in, works fine on 7 pro. Removed and now back on my 6a and working correctly. I guess... something is provisioned on carrier/sim/ install?

My answer is likely only helpful for Fi user base.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] nkraz:
Total by Verizon (formerly total wireless). Having same issue. Pixel 7 won't connect to network, I've worked with their tech support for the past 18 hours with no luck. At this point I've reverted back to using my old phone and if this doesn't get resolved in the next week or so, I will be returning my pixel 7 as it's no use to me in its current form.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] -Izik-:
Semi-interesting thing.

I found an old straight talk AT&T SIM so I tried to activate that.

The Straight talk site accepted the SIM card number, but my IMEI was rejected. Either they are flat out saying it is incompatible now or ST has temporarily stopped Pixel 7 devices from attempting to activate until it's fixed. At least they seem to be aware?

Here's the message-
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Go to prepaidcompare.net and find a new MVNO. All the TracFone brands have gone to hell since Verizon took them over.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reaper000:
I know some will not care to hear this, but it's probably worth posting (for the sake of those readers who might be wondering) that prepaid Verizon is indeed working without issue.

This isn't a vote or an ad for VZW.

I usually go with whatever is least expensive that meets my needs (Red Pocket, Straight Talk, Mint, Google Fi, Visible have all gotten my business at some point) but VZW is the only carrier with decent coverage at my current workplace.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] netcsk:
I'm in the same boat of needing Verizon. I plan to check out US Mobile. Good pricing and esim capable (working with P7P, not with P7 right now) alont with a 10 day trial.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kkjb:
Are you locked or unlocked? Would be nice to know, unlockable device is my requirements. Having another good signal provider for my home would be nice, currently Verizon is one.

I couldn't in the past get Verizon because of the locked part...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
FWIW, US Mobile Warp 5G SIM uses Verizon (and even gets the same priority Verizon postpaid customers get if you use a 5G device unlike Verizon prepaid which is deprioritized to last network priority) and I was even able to activate my eSIM on their service with no problem.

Unfortunately, Verizon sucks here, so the trial is going to go to waste, but I tried a bunch of MVNO and carrier prepaid options and only AT&T Prepaid and US Mobile worked.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
The Pixel 7 Pro supports all of Verizon's bands including mmWave no matter if you get it locked from them or unlocked elsewhere. Verizon added the Pixel 7 Pro to their database from day one because of that mmWave support.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kkjb:
I might have used the wrong word, I meant can the bootloader be unlocked and multiple devices. My problem with Verizon was imei dependent. Could not use a Verizon sim on multiple devices.

Hi All

Anyone else missing the ecg app, in the UK and its not on my phone and i cant find it on the play store to install?
[Google Pixel Watch] Orion73:
I had same problem, you need to go into the Play Store on the watch itself and update it
[Google Pixel Watch] GuyInDogSuit:
I think it's part of the Fitbit app. But as Orion stated, it might just need an update (or be installed).

I'm looking for an alternative to Fitbit, though. Google Fit wasn't preinstalled, which I find weird considering this is GOOGLE hardware, but it does a lot of what Fitbit and it's free. It does not have an ECG function, though. Or a blood pressure one, either. Though that should be possible to do, right?

[Google Pixel Watch] GuyInDogSuit:
Try clearing the cache and data for the app on both the phone and watch.
[Google Pixel Watch] weriwd:
Tried cleaning the cache on mobile and watch, but it did not work. It looks like I'm in the not supported ECG countries.

There must be some other way how to manipulate the device so you can complete ECG app setup, but I'm not aware as of now.
[Google Pixel Watch] AtMi:
Try connecting the clock via VPN to the country supported by the ECG app
[Google Pixel Watch] TrustAugustus:
Appreciate the reply and solution.
[Google Pixel Watch] TrustAugustus:
I downloaded the free VPN app Octahide, selected a US provider, switched to English settings out of Japanese and changed my location in Fitbit to the US. Restarted the watch and it worked! I am surprised it was that easy.

I should add that I already had the app on the watch and it was visible. Vpn worked as a charm. It also continues to work even though I turned off the VPN. Thanks a million
[Google Pixel Watch] AtMi:
I'm glad that it worked for you too. Now you can make a "How to Guide" post about this solution for other members. My English is not so good.

I don't know if anyone has managed to connect AA to an Android device.

On iPhone it works perfectly, but with Android the following happens. The music plays via bluetooth perfectly, without having to connect the cable. OK!

But if I want to open the AA (in this case I'm using TLink), I can even make it work without the cable, however the cell phone connects to a wifi created by the Head Unit, and it loses the internet connection.

If I disable cellular wifi, TLink without cable stops working.

That is, I would need to get the cell phone to connect to the HU's wifi but continue to use the data plan for browsing, without disabling WiFi. It is possible?

Can someone explain why we never get sot like the YouTubers? Even if we did the same usage we would always get less for example if they did a 1h youtube on the s22 ultra in their case it drops about 5 to 10 % i did about the same test and i got down by 20% sometimes more
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Because the usage is subjective. There are dozens of factors that can affect how long the battery lasts.

Stop comparing 1:1 with other people, you will never get the same results even under the same usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] butchieboy:
Kudos to above post. I used to be a battery watcher. I am a firm believer if the device needs charge , just charge it. Enjoy the device and stop stressing about battery. The way one uses a device is completely different from another. Signal plays a big part..background apps also. So many things go into this..Wakelocks..alarms..blah blah you get the picture. I have seen post of 10 hr screen times. But what a lot do is put on a 2hr movie and let it play or one of those 1hr long videos on YouTube. So yeah it's easy to get that kind of Screen time if you are just letting it stay on a movie and not actually using the device. Or if you have so many things disabled why even bother to get a flagship device. Heck I don't know about you, but I don't have time to be on my phone for 10hrs at a time..lol. So just enjoy your device. Happy Friday everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
I can and do get around 8 hours SOT consistently or have even got 9 on the Snapdragon U.S. Unlocked but I use it for business so no games or movies on phone. Got all my Entertainment stuff on my Galaxy Tab S7+. My phone is not rooted and the only 2 things I did that really make a big difference is..... 1) Facebook is the only social media app I use. I access Facebook thru the Browser but have the Messenger app still installed for Facebook messages. This gives me at least an extra hour or more of battery life by not having Facebook app installed. The only other thing I did was change display resolution to FHD. Still using adaptive refresh. That's it. Not Rooting or any other special modifications.

Obviously gaming and social media apps eat up huge amounts of battery. Since I don't use those it's probably why my battery life is so good. Here on the home screen you can see what apps I use most. Everything I need is mostly here so you could say this is pretty much what runs on my phone daily.
