To all those who claim to get over 7 hours screen on time, especially by using debloat scripts, using adb to uninstall/ disable pre-installed apps and services, other tweaks, etc.:

Please do us a favour when posting your battery stats:

1. Use your phone in manual brightness mode with brightness set at 50% (if you want, you can increase but not decrease).

2. Do NOT watch videos (local or streaming) for more than 30 minutes during the day.

3. Do not use any app (like browser) for more than 2 hours during the day.

4. If you're having dual SIM, leave both ON.

Now post your battery stats.

In cases where I see people claiming great battery life, I see that much of the battery savings happen because the user was mostly watching videos at very low brightness or just using one or two apps for more than 50% of the time.

These are NOT typical usage. We need to evaluate the effectiveness of changes done by using the phone normally.

For a smartphone, normal usage means leaving all the smart features ON, including but not limited to, WiFi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth, Location, Auto-Brightness, etc. Also keep display resolution at maximum and screen refresh rate at Adaptive (or auto managed by system).

Thanks.
[General Topics] V0latyle:
Screen on time without using apps or streaming video? That doesn't make sense. You're basically saying don't use the phone and just leave the screen on. Sounds like a recipe for burn in.

No one is going to leave their screen on without using their phone. Whether it's gaming, social media, streaming media, or web browsing, "screen on time" infers that the user is actually using the phone. Battery age also plays a huge part - my Pixel 5 when new could easily manage 8+ hours of YouTube, but 3 years later it would probably only manage 5 or so....I'm not sure because I keep it plugged in.

"Normal usage" is subjective. My normal usage involves social media and streaming media. Others might do a lot of gaming, which is particularly power intensive. Others might simply use their device as a phone/PDA.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
That's not what I said (obviously). Please read the post again.
[General Topics] V0latyle:
That's exactly what you said:

You're saying to limit usage to 2 hours 30 minutes or less, but why would someone's screen be on if they aren't using their device?
[General Topics] TheMystic:
I was referring specifically to just video watching or using just one or two apps for an extended amount of time. Normal usage would involve a lot more like phone calls, video calls, chat, social media, etc.

In most battery stats that show a high SOT, I see that videos pretty much are the main usage (like 4 to 5 hours), browser for a couple of hours, and rarely or minimal use of other apps.

I too can get 7 hours or more of SOT on my S22U if I only watch YouTube at night (minimum brightness). But that isn't typical usage. On an average, I get only about 5 hours of SOT and a standby of about 12 hours (17 hours since last charge) when the battery is around 15%.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
Just to prove my point, I'm attaching battery stats from two different devices that demonstrate phenomenal battery life.

In both cases, I used the phones primarily for video streaming over Bluetooth and browsing the internet. Although the Motorola phone has only the most essential apps, the iQOO phone is pretty much a full setup.

I did NOT use any debloat scripts or uninstall apps using ADB. I simply disabled unnecessary apps and services wherever the system settings allowed me to.

CONCLUSION

The battery life is largely a function of the quality of apps installed, network reception and screen brightness. Debloat scripts and other battery saving tips often only provide a placebo effect.
[Vivo X60 Pro+] Tom77s:
Hello,

I want to safely sell my X60 pro plus, so that the new owner will not be able to read my old data, login accounts and passwort from my browsers for example. Is a simple factory reset enought or do you recommend other things to do? I have already overwritten the harddisc with black video but my biggest concern is banc data, etc and login data.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] lexuslain77@gmail.com:
Things I have tried;

1. Setenforce 0(terminal) ❌

2. Selinux mode changer ❌

3. Magisk permissive module❌

4. Adb shell setenforce 0 ❌

Device: SM:A127F

ROM: CrDroid 9.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A12] V0latyle:
Why would you want to do this? Root access is generally enough, and SELinux permissive makes your device more vulnerable to external attack.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1359054107592466432
[Samsung Galaxy A12] lexuslain77@gmail.com:
This app can't run with selinux enforcing
[Samsung Galaxy A12] V0latyle:
Use a different app. There's no reason for an app to need SELinux permissive unless it's either badly written, or is actually a trojan.
[Realme Narzo 30 5G (AKA  Realme 8 5G)] amrittech:
As I download other than playstore how to keep safe ur Android phone any antivirus apps which can detect harmful things if i have downloaded wrong
[Realme Narzo 30 5G (AKA  Realme 8 5G)] TheMystic:
None recommended.

Before sideloading any app, upload it to VirusTotal and see the result.

Even if one engine flags it, you're better off not installing it than assuming it is a false positive.

Also, after installation, disable the unknown sources permission for the app that you used to install. Basically, keep unknown sources OFF for ALL apps, and turn it ON manually each time you want to install an app, and once that is done, remove the permission positively.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Hello comrades,

How exactly are location and google location accuracy different? I thought the location option in the settings meant that the device used a combo of wifi, network and GPS data to arrive at the location pin as android removed the option to select the sources of the GPS. So, if I follow this logic, what's the purpose of google location accuracy other than duplication and battery drain!?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cledee:
Location allows you to use the GPS service on your phone and it's not tied to your data unless your app is requesting live traffic. I have Here Maps which allows offline download of maps, I also have Google Maps that allows you to download sections, so you can technically use offline mode and not use any mobile or wifi data to navigate to your destination. The Google location accuracy is a combination of your WIFI, mobile networks and your phones sensors.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Oh I thought the location setting in your phone actually fused all the networks together..I guess enabling the google location accuracy just when using the maps might be beneficial..wonder if there's a routine for this. I don't want to have google location accuracy on all the time...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] matty100147:
i have found a lot of apps will not use location unless google location accuracy is turned on, ive tried a few different weather apps and they wont find my locaton without google location accuracy, but it is quite a battery hog
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Yes, google maps is crippled without google location accuracy although Waze works fine without it. There are quite a few apps that are dependent on this accuracy setting whilst it's a great battery drainer. I have all location services disabled except for when the Waze is running in the background as a bixby routine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cledee:
It works without google location accuracy but you have to download maps or sections for offline use. If you don't have a map of the area you are looking to use navigation then it won't work accurately.
[Vivo X Fold] Koysii:
So I've noticed using files by Google in all images, there are loads of random Korean pictures and emojis etc that I don't remember viewing at all. They are all thumbnails which are being shown but all added up to 445mb at 2051 files. How do I prevent Google files showing these thumbnails as I'm sure Android cleans those regularly doesn't it?

Ive been browsing ali express and using chrome alot lately so maybe the thumbnails are from there.
[Vivo X Fold] TheMystic:
You are right. These (cached) files are indeed from the browser and other apps.
[Vivo X Fold] Koysii:
I've found in settings I had "show hidden files" show files that are used to run Android and apps ticked. Will keep an eye out and see if these cache files are shown anymore or not.
[Vivo X Fold] TheMystic:
You can delete them, but it would be pointless because the apps will regenerate them everytime you use the app.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Macguyver1980:
As already mentioned in other Posts, my Vivo X90 Pro Plus is really unstable. As I don't know if I'm the only one having these issues and as it's not so evident, I decided to create a new Post about it.

I quickly installed after receiving the phone Google Play Store like a lot of people I guess, then many apps. I'm using quite a lot the GPS applications, and they seem well working. But the first thing I observed and didn't understand was the WiFi speed. It seems when downloading a big file by WiFi to be slow compared to my other phones even older in technologies and on the same router connection and at the same distance. Then I had a lot of crashes of the phone. A lot during the use of GPS Apps like Google Maps and WAZE, but not only. I was thinking it was due to the Debloat script I applied, but after doing a complete Erase and trying without the script, I observed the same. I did try to take a Log of the OS to check but as I'm not so specialized in these logs, I would need help of someone knowing the Logcat and their readings if possible... Because it's not clear for now if it's Hardware and need to change phone, or Soft or OS... I observed when it start crashing, it can be even every 5 minutes and becoming worst and worst and consumes a lot of the battery without any specific reason.

As it seems I can't attach here the Logcat file, here's the link to it;

iPage

Thanks a lot
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] TheMystic:
You mean the problem is there after a factory reset too (without Google Play and debloat)?
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Macguyver1980:
Without Google Play it's difficult to say, as I can't use the phone without anything installed and I don't speak Chinese. But without the Debloat also, yes.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] TheMystic:
Then the issue is being caused by Google apps and services. Where did you install those from?

Also, try deleting app data for Android System Webview and Chrome. These have been responsible for several app crashes in the past.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Macguyver1980:
I installed once from APKMirror, then once from APKPure. Ok, I'll try to delete datas. Have you seen from the Logcat what was the cause? Thanks
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Macguyver1980:
Isn't it good to use APKPure for the app not available in our region we need in the Google Play Store and we have to update? If you've another proposal...
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] TheMystic:
Do you check the APKs on VirusTotal before sideloading them?

I haven't seen the logcat as I won't make anything out of it.

I would stay away from apkpure though because I don't trust that site.
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] luontokoodaus:
What version debloat script did you use?
[Vivo X90 Pro Plus] Macguyver1980:
Hi, that's ok. From the logcat I understood there was an issue with the app "Weather Widget" I installed and got used to and all GPS apps. After removing and cleaning its data, the problem is solved. There are no issues with the apps coming from apkpure. This app was coming from the Google Market and caused this issue. Thanks for your help.

But to refer to a comment, I've indeed yet a lot of error messages related to "Android System Webview" which should be updated when there are no update available. Like for Email checks, it seems often causing issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Aspen68:
Hello, as the title says the phone status on my phone says "custom" despite updating the phone with samsung smart switch, knox isn't tripped aswell so I don't really know what the problem is... Any ideas?

Just found out that the CSC code on the phone is G998BOXM6EWB4? This is wrong right? Its supposed to be NEE for example? Phone info cant seem to find the "original CSC Code" or "Firmwares CSC Code" but the active CSC seems to be NEE
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] V0latyle:
You have to use Odin to flash your device. Smart Switch won't do it.

Bootloader is locked?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] sandeep1303:
I'm from India and have been using the Mi 11 Ultra v13.0.5.0 (SKAINXM) since November 2021. However, I'm disappointed to learn that the MiUI14 update is not yet available for the Mi 11 Ultra (STAR) in India.

I understand that rooting a phone has many advantages, but I'm unsure whether or not to root my Mi 11 Ultra. Could you please suggest some Magisk Modules and APKs that can help me get the most out of rooting my device, including improving the performance of the Stock Mi-Camera and Leica Camera for rooted phones?

I've already submitted a request to Xiaomi to unlock my bootloader, and timeline of 168Hrs has passed.

I would appreciate any advice you could offer.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] NOSS8:
You can use Miflash and install a stock MIUI14 version or a Xiaomi EU rom(better than stock)Stable or Weekly.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] sandeep1303:
Will it (EU ROM) work for Indian 5G SIM Networks in my phone.?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] NOSS8:
These roms are stock based and do not add or remove bands.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] NOSS8:
I recommend a Weekly rom (latest Xiaomi features. updated every week).

Hybrid rom, installable with TWRP or with a PC.

The first installation requires formatting the data with the TWRP or using the First install.bat file included in the folder extracted from the zip.

Back up your data before. (MIcloud for example).

Then the updates will be done either with OTA+TWRP or the Update.bat file with a PC.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] sandeep1303:
@NOSS8 Thanks Dear...

Do you refer V14.0.23.3.7.DEV for my 11 ultra?

You say that I should flash Stock/EU weekly ROM 1st and then root it with Magisk...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] NOSS8:
Why root, these roms have the play store certified without.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] sandeep1303:
I need to install LEICA (Cemera mod) to improve camera quality which may not be available without rooting.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] NOSS8:
Flash the Weekly, then root+Magisk+zygisk+safety net.

Im looks like there is a LEICA APK.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] sandeep1303:
Thanks. You helped a lot. I will revert with outcome. Regards
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] sandeep1303:
@NOSS8

I rooted by MI 11 ultra but unfortunately PayTM & BHIM UPI banking apps are not working anymore even after tagging them on Magisk. I don't have any other wayout except unroot my phone. I am presently v13.0.5.0 SKAINXM flahsed patched boot.img through Magistk in fastboot mode.

I want to know how to unroot the mobile so that I can use banking apps. I have factory reset by phone but that didn't changed anything and my banking apps still showing rooted phone.

Kindly help.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] NOSS8:
Unroot with Magisk then delete Magisk and the Magisk folder(s).

If the bootloader remains unlocked, banking apps may not work.

Xiaomi Eu rom remains the best alternative.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] infamas:
Here you can see how to bypass Safety Net with Magisk. No need to unroot because it may not solve the problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] zgfg:
SafetyNet is deprecated!

Wallet and other apps (particularly Google apps) use Play Integrity API, make sure to pass BASIC_INTEGRITY and DEVICE_INTEGRITY

There are threads with instructions and everything on XDA

---

Playstore, Settings, About, tap several times on the version number until you become developer

Then go to Settings, General, newly unleashed Developer options, Play Integrity - Check Integrity
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] sandeep1303:
Thanks a lot dear friends for your suggestions.
[Google Pixel 7] Er_Seraph:
Hi all, I am new to this kind of phone with stock Android, my last was Redmi Mi 9T with Magisk and Lsposed, safetynet passed and CustoMIUIzer.

With CustoMIUIzer I could disable the power menu while locked, now with my new Pixel 7 I really want to know which mods I can download, what apps do you recommend? For safetynet bypass I can simply install the usual mods from Magisk?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 7] V0latyle:
SafetyNet is no longer relevant as it has been replaced by Play Integrity. See this thread.

Keep in mind that some modules may cause bootloops after updating. YMMV.

The entire knowledge acquired by my brain about the android devices started from here . i am an old member who never approached to get an account here and i thought to have an account and would help the ones who needs about the custom rom/recoveries and about the bugs or issues facing around their device.

I forgot to introduce myself :) I am Stanes Wilson from a city in India who is literally a guy who loves tech and related stuffs and the one who loves programming languages. I think i would give my best to the unknown here which also develops my brain:cowboy:

I've flashed PE ok and all's good except for a couple of things. Where's the best place to ask questions of this ROM; here or on Telegram? My problems are;

1. I can't send SMS messages; I just get "can't send error 0'" I've searched this problem but can't find an answer (that works for me) I've only one SMS app installed (Google messages, the PE default) and the SMS center number is correct, and. I've used *#*#4636#*#* to both check and update the SMSC. I have 2 SIMS in the phone and the other SIM can send SMSs ok. I've swapped SIMs over in the slots and that doesn't work. I put the SIM that doesn't work into another phone and I can send messages there. So I don't know what/where the problem is; the phone, the SIM or the ROM??

2. I can't save an emergency contact. In fact, the emergency SOS/personal safety stuff doesn't seem to work at all (I can't set anything up). This is not really a problem for me though but maybe for others.
[Redmi Note 10S] tutibreaker:
dude, go to dev's telegram and report there
[Redmi Note 10S] ravenoutfit:
I flashed back to stock and it sends SMS just fine.
[Redmi Note 10S] samey007:
Ive tried many gsi's and roms none of them send sms (same error). Just stay on stock if you want that
[Redmi Note 10S] ravenoutfit:
Yes, well, sending or answering SMSs is kinda important on a phone! ;) It's weird that it's a problem (for some people) on many gsi / roms though, must be due to something deeper in the build..

Fwiw, I've found that the ricedroid ROM sends/answers SMSs so I'm sticking to that one for now until I have more time to experiment. As I mentioned elsewhere, it might be related to VoLTE: riceDroid doesn't have VoLTE.
[Redmi Note 10S] neetnee:
late reply but works for me
[Redmi Note 10S] SO9010:
Have you disabled 4G calling, this solved the issue for me. On PE, go to settings -> Network and internet -> internet -> gear icon by the signal thing on the right -> 4G calling. Then disable it.

I have the mate 50 pro on EMUI and matepad 11.5 on harmony OS. The only difference I notice is gbox installs apps natively on harmony OS and on EMUI the shortcuts are bundled in the gbox folder. Other than that there's barely a difference, or am I missing something? I use aurora and gbox and the only things that I never got to work was android auto and native nfc banking (curve works although very buggy and not reliable). Are there other benefits of going to Harmony OS that I'm missing?

Ps I got half functional microg through revanced. It's about the same as lighthouse, you can log in but very limited functionality.
