I just ditched my ticwatch c2 for a pair of Samsuck Watch 4 classic.. I'll outline what worked for me as a repository for watch 4 (I dunno if it will work with watch 5)..

1. Install Chinese version of wear os.. 2.6.2 is the latest version if I'm not wrong.. it's ok to install older 2.5.5 version from apkmirror.

2. Give wear os auto launch permissions, background running permissions and nearby devices permission.

3. Install older version of Samsuck wearable app (I used 2.2.54.22112861, Dec 2022).. install older version of Samsuck watch4 manager plugin (I used 2.2.11.22012751).. u might wanna try earlier versions of watch5 plugin not from the app store to test what works..

4. U can take this chance to give some auto run permission to wearable n plugin app..

5. Install Samsung Health..

6. Open Samsung health app, do whatever necessary setup to get to main screen..

7. Select 3 dot menu > settings > accessories.. power on ur watch..

8. Click scan for accessory at the bottom of the page n wait for the watch name to pop up.. clicking on it will start pairing process..

9. Once paired, wearable app will open up and start irritating u with all the terms n conditions plus approval to spy on u.. select what is necessary to get through..

10. Wearable will download 2.6.2 wear os (china) and install.. it's a prerequisite, or else it will not finish pairing.. wear os seems to be needed for communication with watch..

11. After wear os is updated, u will see a page with Google's TOS.. uncheck the diagnostics and location and click next.. I never manage to proceed further if I left either diag or location enabled, so just switch both off..

12. Sit and wait for the setup to complete.. once completed, u can go to play store and update the watch plugin to the latest version..

Hi all,

Did anyone get a stable version of Gcam working on the 13 Pro. GCam Hub does not still have the 13 Pro officially listed so I am guessing that is why I had the issues.

I managed to open the MGC 8.3 version but I features only 2 lenses and is soo slow.

Thanks

Any sample outputs to compare with the stock camera app?
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] Milica84:
This one is the first that works for me without crashing.

But it does not work with the wide-angle lens - it shows in the interface and it reads the data correctly in the settings (it says it is ID 2), but when clicked it shows the main camera view (which is ID 7).

Any other suggestions for a working gcam?

I tried BSG 8.6: MGC_8.6.263_A11_V14 and LMC 8.4 and they both crash.

Camera2Test_All_ID.apk also crashes.

Ok so far working gcams (for me) are:

BSG: MGC_8.1.101_A9 - do you have any good config for this??

AGC: AGC8.4.300_V9.5Fix_aweme (from the Telegram group for our phone) - works with latest config from the same group (F(ast)&F(urious)_AGC8.4.9.5FiX) and custom lib (Marin V3) also available there.

LMC: LMC8.4.300 R17 with config (LMC8.4R15_Perfect_Arcide©FF) also from the same group. LMC is still not perfectly stable, sometimes black screen or crash.

All versions you have to follow instructions to load configs quickly after install if the app crashes.

For me there is no real benefit in using gcam at this moment - I prefer punchier colors of stock (even though a bit more yellow than gcams), and better sharpening also.

I wanted to use gcam as I need sometimes better (higher) HDR effect - stock is often too dark and too muted - only BSG (no config so far) gives me this, but with less detail. Please suggest good config if there is one.

Also stock selfi cam gives very muted colors, even outdoors in good light - gcams are not improvement here (all very pink toned) and will have to be adjusted. Coming from another phone, I am quite fed up with optimizing gcam and will stick to stock for now.

Happy shooting and please share your good versions and config for the benefit of all.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] Dayuser:
Why don't you try different settings yourself and make pictures look better?

It's best to try and learn how different settings change picture quality.
[Xiaomi 13 Pro] Milica84:
Like I said, I come from a different phone (Motorola edge 20 pro) where I was optimizing gcam parameters for LMC gcam for 7 months straight! I was satisfied in the end, but I am tired of it anymore.

[General Questions and Answers] Destro-:
Device: MT6572 'One Touch Pop C1' 4015A

Summary:

I have an old mobile phone that, after doing a 'wipe cache' in stock recovery, got stuck in an infinite boot loop in recovery mode and continued the task of 'formatting/cache...'.

Hello, I was trying to recover an old Android phone that was stuck on the startup logo. The first thing I tried was to see if I could enter recovery mode, and I was able to do so. Then, I had doubts about whether to do a factory reset or just try deleting the cache. Finally, I decided to try deleting the cache, but it caused the problem I describe in the summary.

I tried flashing the stock ROM with 'SP Flash Tool', but even though the tool said it flashed correctly, I don't think it's working because after several supposedly successful flash attempts, I tried formatting the entire flash and the mobile phone still kept booting into recovery mode. Shouldn't it be dead? I also tried flashing a corrupt recovery, but it's still the same.

'SP Flash Tool' connects to the preloader MTK port and transfers at a speed of 15mb/s. Is that okay, or is it a ghost transfer? It seems very fast considering the writing speed of the internal memory.

[Moto G Power (2021)] cbf123:
I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, which doesn't do daylight savings time and uses the same timezone (CST) all year.

My phone is set to use network-provided time and timezone, and it's an hour off this morning due to using CDT instead of CST. I changed the phone manually to a different timezone and time, then changed it back to "network-provided" time and timezone, and it flipped to the correct time and timezone.

So it seems like something is wrong with the phone, and not with the network.

I talked to the cell provider support, apparently it's affecting a bunch of Android phones.
[Moto G Power (2021)] hossein7r:
If you find a solution to this, please let me know.

I live in Iran and this new year, the stupid parliament decided to discard the daylight time saving. But apparently they haven't make the necessary arrangements with the phone companies and Time Authorities. My galaxy phone is using network-provided time, and it's an hour ahead. I tried changing the time manually but Banking apps and VPN won't work with manual adjusting of time.

Hi, @inthedthank you for your reply, it says that vbmeta partition is not accesible through adb when i try to flash it (failed) any workaround with that?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Cfly:
Hi I am kind of noobish to GSIs but I got the google built android 13 GSI working on my s23 last night, couldn't get pixel experience to boot. CrDroid would boot but I was getting a lot of random trips to the bootscreen during set-up.

Haven't tried android 14 yet, but the procedure was pretty simple for android 13 GSI. I had already unlocked bootloader/rooted my s23 before attempting this, which included flashing vbmeta_disabled

Downloaded official google android 13 GSI

Install TWRP with Odin

Reboot to recovery and wiped data

Reboot then into fastboot inside of TWRP

flashing gsi using fastboot: fastboot flash system system image

restarted went through set-up and downloaded Magisk and Pixelfy magisk mod and I am pretty content

If anyone knows how to get another GSI like Pixel Experience or CrDroid to work reliably I am super interested

Hey, have you solved your problem
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Therazorsedge:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Therazorsedge:
Hi, what version of A13 you tried? try to install the PEX rom and after that install original recovery, it should boot well, let me know
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Keller0088:
Wow that is awesome dude!! How is it going? Bugs you have found? Fingerprint?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Flammer99:
How is it? Smooth? Any problem? Battery wise? Everything :)))
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Cfly:
Hi guys, sorry for the delay. The stock 13 GSI was pretty good albeit not perfect. Smoothness was very nice after force enabling 120hz through adb (battery life is notably worse, as you would expect).

Feels just about as smooth as stock, which is pretty good IMO.

This was the stock google build, so no fingerprint or face unlock. I would imagine custom GSIs would fix some of this.

However I eventually returned to stock since I post videos on social media apps a lot, and the generic camera API on the GSI made it pretty bad to look at.

Fun to try out, just wasn't ready for my needs yet.

I also did try to flash the original recovery for PEX like the user above me mentioned, still no dice. I have been out of the Android scene for a few years prior to this so it is probably something I am doing.

Hope this helps, thanks!

I rly Hope for a fully working GSI ROM on S23 Ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Fully working GSI ROM? lmao

Forget such thing, especially on newer devices and especially on Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mohammed510:
I have tested a few of them. Only bugs are fingerprint scanner, Always on display and VoLTE. It can be used as a daily driver if you can live with these bugs. For me it's fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bhammler:
which GSI are you using? And which GCAM is working?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
@mohammed510

he's using trebledroid's LOS 20 I assume. I'll try it out as well one of these days, and iirc the amazing dev behind it takes requests for adding support to fp scanners, I'll ask him about it
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mohammed510:
The "Light" version by Andy Yan is the best one for S23U. There's a camera app already included. As for gcam, the one by "Shamim" works but only ultra wide lens. Better use the one included as it has switching between lenses all working.

Bugs are:

AOD

Fingerprint scanner

VoLTE

I think the first 2 can be fixed with Overlays that are flashed using Magisk. It's possible to have a almost 99% working GSI on S23U

You can make phone calls but it will be over 3G networks (not that bad really) and not through 4G as VoLTE still doesn't work

You can easily pass safety net with universal safetynet fix "MOD version" and Google Wallet also works after passing Safetynet
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
thanks a lot! and may I ask how is the battery life compared to oneUI?

edit: didn't see your new edit, I guess I'll try to follow the guide for making an overlay on github, many thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mohammed510:
Battery life is better and phone runs noticeably cooler. Uses much less RAM also :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
and now I am 100% convinced. it's time for some modding on a 1k device

I'll look into making an overlay, doesn't seem that hard, I'll let you know how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
hey mate forgot to ask one (actually, two) last thing-what steps did you follow to flash it? and was the patched vbmeta necessary?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mohammed510:
I was coming from Beyond ROM. I flashed the patched vbmeta through Odin before installing Beyond ROM (see Beyond installation instructions). However, when flashing GSI i just reboot to TWRP then format data (wipes internal storage) then reboot to fastboot (fastboot inside TWRP) then Fastboot erase system . Then Fastboot Flash system system.img then reboot. That was all.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
thanks! managed to install it and it would be almost perfect if it werent for the.. random graphics lag :p

do you have this bug as well? btw, I flashed the bgN package. it's still usable as a daily driver, I really didn't expect it to work this well, but it's a bit annoying not gonna lie. and the fp scanner lock option is completely absent, cant even try enrolling it :')

I'll report it to github alongside the fp scanner later on, might get both issues fixed
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mohammed510:
There's no bgN in "light" version. You might have flashed the TD based one? The correct one is "gN".

Andy Yan's personal builds // GSI - Browse /lineage-20-light at SourceForge.net

sourceforge.net

Light is much smoother than TD. After Flashing it go to Display and force FPS to 1440p@120hz. I haven't had any lags after forcing 120hz tbh.

Yes, FP doesn't show. AOD is available but hidden.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
yeah I meant gN, sorry for the confusion.

but true, changing the refresh rate fixed the lag
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Hunter9037:
The question in the thread has already been answered. I think it's time to create a thread for the ROM where more help and experiences can be exchanged.

Does a moderator do this?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
There are animation lags when you're opening apps from the drawer for example. It's VERY harsh. That isn't related to the refresh rate since it's forced to 120hz anyway. It could be something with the input boost, but not yet sure since I didn't have time to mess with it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mohammed510:
You can set animation duration to 0.5X in developer settings or turn them off completely. It will be a lot faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] AltFantasy:
I thought that the S23 Ultra just doesn't support A/B partitioning, and even support Project Treble at all???

in any case, can anyone in here please give me info about if the S23 Ultra does have support for Treble, and by extension, A/B partitioning (even in stock OneUI ROM)?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
I'm not talking about the speed of the animation, but the jitters. It's very jittery.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mohammed510:
I'm not sure what you mean. It felt like using a Pixel to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Jitters= stuttering

They're only appearing when opening/closing apps.

Scrolling and everything else is fine.

Btw, I do own a Pixel 7 Pro.

I could even record and show you what I mean.

Anyways, it's manageable, was just curious if someone else has it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
I have them as well, even ramping up the refresh rate hasn't fixed it completely. the rest is working so nicely though that I'm still quite happy with it. I'll create an issue on trebledroid/treble_experimentations but only in maybe a week or two (alongside another one for the fp scanner), so if you can create it faster feel free to do it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bhammler:
hey, I've made an magisk overlay module. It's not tested and I don't know if it changes anything. Maybe you could try it
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
What exactly does this module do?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Seems that the TD, non-light version has less stutters when opening apps, it's less noticable, but still there . Both are equally responsive and "smooth". Just FYI if you wanna get rid at least partially from the stutters.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
thanks a lot! I'll try it out
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
thanks for letting me know, for now I'm quite happy with light and the refresh rate set to 90hz, I have stutters only when scrolling (really) fast. I'll still make in issue though, because this is just us trying to sweep this bug under the rug as much as we can :)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
overlays in theory fix stuff like automatic brightness and a few other things

thanks a lot! I tried it out and unfortunately it resulted into lineage getting stuck at the bootanimation.had the funny idea to do it while being outside, thinking "eh what's the worst that can happen with a magisk module" now I'll be able to fully appreciate the animation beauty thanks to samsung blocking access to recovery if it's not connected to a PC till I'm home :)

edit: thankfully, magisk automatically disabled the module after a few reboots. I tried to access it from adb to get logs with a friend's laptop, but it couldn't even reach that stage, adb couldn't find the device. Sorry about that, I'm sure with this little information there isn't much you can do.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
But auto brightness works fine in LOS.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
it doesn't for me, brightness is set to max randomly, even without direct sunlight. I remember a clearly different behaviour under oneUI

and anyways, that's not the only thing that overlays fix but I can't remember the others
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
No, I understand what would an "overlay fix" normally does, but the person didn't really specify what exactly is he attempting to "fix" with HIS overlay.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
I actually managed to boot various GSIs and found the main culprit of the bootloops that appear after you see the welcome screen.

I assume it's SENSORS related. Put your phone on a flat surface (table or so) and let it boot again. You can actually use the phone like that and it won't enter the bootloop. The moment you pickup your phone in your hand/s, it soft reboots again. lol

Anyways, probably reacts to one of the orientation sensors which either crashes or whatever causes a soft reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mohammed510:
Yes i had that too. Currently only Andy Yan's and Phh AOSP builds work.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mr.Yasuo:
Hi, I tested Flyme10/Myui5.0/Pixel14/

They all have the same bug: Volte × fingerprint × Telephoto 100X ×

I hope someone can build a custom ROM for this
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Doubt anyone will any time soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JakoDel:
would you and @JohnTheFarm3r mind sharing the install procedure you followed? did you just flash the system img over fastboot? I slammed the GSIs into dsu praying yet none worked(even if the phone was laying on a flat surface), rebooting after the splash screen with the warning. I tried exactly the same ones as mr.Yasuo did, which should be arguably the easiest to get to at least boot. thanks!

and yeah, I think no one will bother making an actual custom ROM for our device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
The DSU sideloader is a bit different, it's not the same as replacing the system.img via fastboot. It creates a dual boot.

Anyways, between trying EACH GSI you need to wipe your data (Format data inside TWRP).

And you flash the GSI.img via fastboot through twrp.

fastboot flash system gsi.img (you can rename gsi to anything you want).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Building a custom ROM for this would require sources and trees to be first built including a kernel (that is a messy work with 8gen1 and 8gen2). We don't have those, and that might not happen anytime soon. And even if someone builds those, either that same or another person would then need to build a ROM based on those which would be probably buggy initially too.

And since we're talking about Samsung (KNOX issue) many devs are not willing to kill their warranty when the KNOX is tripped so they're not unlocking the bootloader and obviously not developing on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mr.Yasuo:
I am using DSU sideloader to install system. zip (system. img), which will preserve my data. If it fails to boot, you should be aware that GSI.img may require (ext4) format, or you can install RW ROM first
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Keller0088:
May anyone make a step by step guide? I did gsi on Xiaomi but never on a Samsung device. Thanks!
