[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] kulhhi:
can someone drop the android 11 image?

Old link isnt working.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Korothi:
Hey,

I saw some recent articles about system storage taking up 60gb and i noticed the app reports 512gb as storage (which is never the case). Whats going on?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Electronic Punk:
I am not sure I believe those articlesto be honest and take some of their comments with a pinch of salt.

Firstly, according to their "detailed analysis" my system is apparently taking up 96gig.

View attachment 5829929

Secondly, This article: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/202...d-android-build-somehow-uses-60gb-of-storage/

"First, Samsung is notorious for having a shoddy software division that pumps out low-quality code. The company tends to change everything in Android just for change's sake, and it's hard to imagine those changes are very good."

What? So any company that decides to use their own app, ie Samsung Email, must be low quality?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Korothi:
1TB version?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Electronic Punk:
Yes I have the 1GB version, but I also just read that:

"Worth noting that "System" also includes anything on the data partition that's not attributed to apps or shared storage. A significant portion of the 60 GB is likely this miscellaneous system data, which varies depending on usage."

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1622687956409454603
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Korothi:
That 20 gb apps is stock?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Electronic Punk:
I assume the 20gb are my non-system apps.

But the 96 also includes data that is not on the system partition that is unclaimed, basically its more complex than it seems, not just what we would have once considered teh system partition.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] erik2041999:
Well I don't know about you guys but I'm getting ****ed the most here😂 btw this is after a data format and then full setup...

Edit:

Ignore me and my stupidity, once I gave it the permission it needed, it now recognised what belongs to what. The Apps now take 85GB and the system is now just 57GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Korothi:
What the...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Electronic Punk:
What permission is that? I had a quick look but couldnt find it
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Korothi:
so it just shoves whatever is left in "system".

6000 iq
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] erik2041999:
When you look at my screenshot, there's that information symbol on the right instead of amount of used space, click on it and it'll ask for permission. Then it'll split it up correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bartek81005:
I will post tomorrow from a fresh one out of the box
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Electronic Punk:
ok so permissions was already set, still 94.60GB for system, which is lower than earlier so prove its not fixed.

Was trying to do some cleanup -- guess I managed it a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] erik2041999:
So, I'm confused, what is actually taking up so much space? Also, I'm guessing you didn't format data before setting up your phone like me, right? And just out of curiosity, what did you cleanup/delete and where?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Electronic Punk:
I used Smart Switch to basically copy over my data which worked for the most part but I dont trust some apps notifications from when I did the same from my S10+

Well as far as cleanups, I have been manually wiping data and cache on some applications (too many to name and prob quite risky), uninstalling some apps that I am sure were s21 specific such as the LED case, got rid of Voice Recorder, some other AR Emjoi stuff where it could - didnt keep a list. Uninstalled secure folders, too many things to really name.

I think system is not only the system partition but perhaps even misc data under /sdcard/data/ or obb etc. etc.

I am just messing about really.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] waldoud:
hello everyone I have 60 GB which means 4 times on other devices, I hope someone can find a way to debloat on the s23 ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bartek81005:
New System without anything:

after giving permission its 56,49 GB of System

View attachment 5830921
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
The answer is actually very simple and explained in the article below.

If you notice, when you buy a hard drive, they advertise it as 512GB but when you look in the OS, it's actually 476GB.

This is because, if you read the small characters, they calculate their GB using 1000 bytes multiplicator while in reality, it is 1024.

So if we do the math :

512Gb x 1000 = 512 000 MB x 1000 = 512 000 000 KB x 1000 = 512 000 000 000 bytes.

Now if we actually calculate the real space usage as computers calculate it we do :

512 000 000 000 / 1024 = 500 000 000 KB / 1024 = 488 281 MB / 1024 = 476 GB

In the Samsung app though, you see storage space being 512GB, not the real size of 476GB (most likely to avoid regular user confusion) so to compensate for this missing space, they add up that space to the system category. In this case, 512GB - 476GB = 36GB meaning the actual OS and system files take 22GB total.

The smaller the drive, the lesser the difference. Which is why it looks like system takes less space on a 256GB phone than it does on a 1TB phone.

One UI 5.1 bloatware is not consuming 60 GB storage on new Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus or Galaxy S23 Ultra

Recently there have been reports that One UI 5.1 reserves upwards of 60 GB storage for system partitions on the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra. Samsung may continue to insist on pre-installing third-party apps on One UI, but claims of 60 GB in bloatware are far from true.

www.notebookcheck.net
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] selayan:
I checked the sizing on my s22U currently and the system is also taking 68gb of storage. I still have plenty of storage and I am not worried about it. As long as it's not slowing the phone down, and it is not, it's fine.

They really should use separate partitions like pixels do.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Barmenchik:
My System 52.93GB. Phone 12/512GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Shipoftheline:
68.89GB system: 12/512. This is ridiculous its using more storage then phones had as standard a few years back
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cwd:
The answer is in the thread. It's unfortunate that Samsung chose to obfuscate the total storage space and the advertised storage space, and people who have no capacity for thinking about numbers larger than 100 will suffer for it.

I bet that an update of the device health app will clear this up soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Same situation with Google's Files app so it's doubtful. People will get confused if they see the formatted storage as the total. Also, even with that conversion, you're looking at like a 7% discrepancy. That's less than a 6GB difference and still puts Samsung over 50GB. Still over 60GB in the post you quoted in fact.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
No it's a much bigger difference than that, see my reply earlier. It's 36gb on a 512gb drive.

Honestly it's not Samsung the issue, it's the industry (not just mobile, pc, etc.) they've always decided to do the math this way when they advertise storage. It's the same for ssd, was the same with HDD back in the day. All stores do the same, I've never really understood why...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
7% of 512 = 35.84.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PhilMorin:
Sorry I focused on your 6gb difference which is 36gb (for a 512) and puts the system at 22gb, not 50gb
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
I highly doubt they are just stacking it into the system size, it would make much more sense to spread it throughout the entire filesystem. You can also just use the Google Files app and see if it reports the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Collin80:
Not only do storage makers conveniently lie about storage but also all disks require formatting which lowers the usable space even more. If a 512"GB" drive is really 476GiB then with formatting it's even smaller. At least a few more percentage points of the capacity will go to formatting. If they were being honest they'd just give you the formatted capacity in GiB which is the unit everyone is actually expecting. A 512GB disk is probably 450GiB or less so it'd be honest if they'd just tell you that.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] yash_ghar:
In flash storage, few percent is reserved as over provisioning and not available for use. This is for wear leveling so that all the NAND blocks wear at almost uniform level.

As the P/E cycle for TLC NAND is less than 1000 cycles.

Generally for 500GB drive there is 512 GB of flash and actual usable space is around 465 GiB in OS.
[Fairphone 3 / 3+] Nico.o:
Hi all,

I'm having an issue with the latest LineageOS firmware (lineage-19.1-20230206) on my FP3.

I upgraded to the latest LineageOS firmware this morning and now the phone keeps on rebooting on its own.

I get the Fairphone splash screen, the blue line with the bubble running right to left for about 2m30s, then vibrates and back to Fairphone splash screen.

I’ve had regular application crashed for a while, and particularly this morning (including Google apps crashes) - I was particularly eager to install that update in the hope that it fixes the problems…

Any insight on what could have gone wrong and how I could get the the phone back to work would be immensely appreciated :-)

Also exposed my question to the Fairphone forum: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fairphone3-fails-to-boot-after-upgrade-to-lineage-19-1-20230206/93222

Thanks !
[Fairphone 3 / 3+] Nico.o:
I finally resorted to reinstalling the update manually with `adb sideload` following this procedure but skipping the reset step.

Turned out it worked, no data loss :-)

Working :

Basic twrp features

partially dual boot (different rom can be boot on both slots but still share same userdata, recommend to use fastboot method)

Decryption only support for fbev2 rom (example is some older rom, and kyasu lineageos)

otg / sdcard

Issues / Notes :

vibration is really wonky (which only happened on twrp, not orange fox) not quite fix, but it's stable enough to confirm

you might need to reflash rom "once" after you boot into recovery (flash twrp > boot to twrp > reboot to system (you'll see system corrupt) then reflash same rom that you currently using (via fastboot or twrp if rom support), after that it'll be fine. only on custom rom, stock is fine)

doesn't works with kyasu lineage due to using device model as ota assert (different than twrp ota assert, which is pdx206) fixed in latest build

doesn't support stock, due to different decryption key

ext4 only, no erofs and other models for now (1 ii and pro might release later, busy working new device tree for kumano)

format data, before flashing any rom (unless you doing a dirty flash)

For Stock users, use THIS TWRP instread this one

tl;dr

- twrp works on android 12 (but decryption doesn't works on stock)

- twrp can't install lineageos (due to different device target, mine use pdx206 and lineage uase xq-as72)

(we're already discussed about device ota on dev group, so i'll use pdx206 for now, more custom rom in future will use pdx206 as target device)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Yoannjap:
Ok then, I am a real noob, I don't understand what does mean "PDX206".

I don't understand what you mean saying ‘due to different device target, mine use pdx206 and lineage uase xq-as72’.

To me, the XQ-AS72 is the code of the South Asian variant of Xperia 5 ii, whereas XQ-AS62/52/42 other variants.

Whereas PDX206 is just a codename meaning Xperia 5 ii (whatever variant of XQ-ASXX it is) used by I dunno who.

Am I wrong?
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] loipuru:
it's ota assert (in this case, target_device) that custom rom is set when flashing (to avoid flashing into wrong device)

lineage has been set for xq-as72 as default (don't confuse with device variants, ota assert or target_device doesn't affect with device variant that you use)

and twrp have been set to pdx206 (which is device codename for 5ii) so that's main reasons why it can't flash lineageos (but you can still access data normally)
[Sony Xperia 5 II ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Yoannjap:
Ok 👌

Thank you loipuru, I got it now.

[Google Pixel 6a] G5-User7080:
So for some reason the February update doesn't show up for my in system updates.

To update manually, is it better to download the ota from Google's site and flash that or the newest firmware and flash system?
[Google Pixel 6a] V0latyle:
The safest way to update is by sideloading the OTA.

I assume your bootloader is not unlocked; if I am correct, flashing the factory image is not an option.
[Google Pixel 6a] G5-User7080:
Ah sorry for the lack of details.

I'm unlocked and rooted and pass safetynet / play attestation with safetynet-fix-mod by DisplaX

I found your guide about updating etc in the Pixel 6 forum, and since I didn't know if I could just take feb 06 OTA or if I had to flash all previous ones too I just went with the factory image method.

I updated with the same version as I'm running to see if it would offer me to OTA then et voila it does :)

After I finished updating and did fastboot boot magisk-patched-boot-image.img it did offer me to OTA even tho I failed safety-net / play attestation (probably since I didnt do magisk direct install yet and was just booting the rooted image)

Which made me wonder,.. are you supposed to uninstall magisk before you even click on "system update"?

I thought you just check for updates first and when it shows one you then uninstall magisk.
