Casually, only roms made by andyyan are compatible with the tab A8, I'm curious to know what exactly has this roms that may make the tab boot up:)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
me and a friend are currently trying to get to the bottom of why the GSI's arent working, if we find anything else out it will be posted, weve tried a number of things, i dont think Andy Yan is the reason they work, i think its LineageOS that works, but Andy Yan has done A GOOD JOB

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Tofor:
This is just a wild guess but, has anyone taken into consideration that the problem with the A8 and the GSI roms not booting could be related to how the GSI roms have been flashed? Maybe they would work better when flashed using fastboot instead of TWRP. There is also the fact that the A8 will not work with a modified VBMeta.img. It will not boot. However I can't seem to remember what I did before, but I have succeeded in booting a rooted stock OS on this device while using a modified VBMeta.img before. I believe I had magisk patch the entire AP file then I used 7Zip to extract only the boot.img and vbmeta.img files respectively. Then flashed both using ODIN with the boot.img in the BL slot and the vbmeta.img in the AP slot and also included the CS file for ****s and grins. I have not attempted this again since however. It could be that the device requires a disabled vbmeta.img file in order to boot a custom GSI image properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Tofor:
Perhaps the device would work with a modified vbmeta.img if it were modified with the fastboot --disable_verity --disable_verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img method instead of having Magisk modify the vbmeta.img and flashing it using ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
The main issue is that the system partition is too small to handle anything larger than AOSP or LOS builds, simple as that. Flashing is done correctly through fastboot
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
How is performance? I've heard it's pretty laggy compared to AOSP 12/13
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
Sam has been looking into it, the tablet won't boot gsis due to an error with the graphics driver, something specific in the tablet is failing to load, PHH is involved in Investigating
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
It works but no Bluetooth audio support
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] digitalcoder:
I'm not having any issues at all with lag, super smooth. The only issues I have encountered:

* Bluetooth (as noted above). Changing the a2dp setting in developer options doesn't fix it. Being a vanilla Google ron there are no phh treble settings.

* Night mode doesn't apply on top of some streaming apps (i.e. Amazon prime)

Other than that it is definitely fine to use, I'm going to stick with this now and just dirty flash updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Tofor:
Yes. I did notice that when flashing it using fastboot the device automatically resized the system partition. I could not get mine to boot though still. It just sits at the Samsung screen forever... I'm gonna reflash the stock firmware and try again I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Tofor:
This device seems to have a bit of a touchy side to things. Seems like it would be somewhat easy to break and need to repair... I know I probably sound like an idiot for this but I have very little patience with some things and couldn't wait for the repairs to complete when I broke the screen on my first A8... so now I have 2 of them... I know. Waste of money. However it also means that I can get risky with one of them and try some things that normally would not be a good idea to try. I don't need ideas for this as I am already a pro at being stupid but I would like to offer up my 2nd A8 as a total test dummy for this devices development if it will help at all with getting more custom GSI roms to work. I'll try anything anyone wants me too. I'm not at all worried about bricking my 2nd A8. Just let me know. 👍
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
this devices has dynamic partition, its not too small, it adjusts to the size of the system your installing
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
Note when you flash a system through fastboot it says "resizing"
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Tofor:
Yes. That's what I meant when I said that it automatically resizes the system partition for you when using fastboot. It does not do this when flashing using twrp which is why it will tell you the file is too large.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
Good to know, so what's the reason larger GSIs (over 1GB) will not boot properly?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] MrFluffyOven:
It's not the space, phh said if it was the size it would fail to flash in the first place, he's pulled logs from my x200 and Sam's x205, I don't know in detail what's causing it, but PHH has spotted an error

That's it, I'm selling my Pixel and a user is offering me the Find X5 (Not pro) perfect condition with two years of guarantee.

I'm not sure about what to do, the cameras on Pixel are okay, but sometimes too flat, portraits are horrendous, meh battery and charges slow, the UI has some micro stutters and it's boring, performance heavy games and apps may work better on X5 888.

If you were me, will you do the switch? What are some pros and cons? Any reason why I should keep the Pixel? Thanks!
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] pelon_16170:
Hi, guys! I need help with my battery, which is getting quickly drained overnight. I'm giving some context.

The first night with the phone, I went to sleep and it had a 100% battery and I woke up in the morning to a 98% charge. I haven't inserted my SIM at this moment, since I still needed some stuff from my older phone.

Yesterday, I migrated everything and put the SIM in the new phone. Last night, the phone went from 50% to literally 0% overnight.

Since I had a battery issue with my previous phone, I went straight and installed a bunch of battery monitor apps on the new one. And I found out that the phone isn't getting into Deep Sleep mode, because of a Wakelock called RMNET_SHS. And I can't find what is it related to.

On the previous one, it was something like NETWORK_SCAN, and it turned out it was related to the network being set up to scan for 5G, which we don't have in Argentina, it kept the phone awake and drained the battery.

But now, I'm out of my mind. I'm just trying the draining for an hour without the SIM into the phone to check.

Hi,

My xiaomi 11T pro has horizontal lines on its screen ( this issue occurs mainly during but not limited to when downloading pdf file and opening it in google drive pdf viewer the issue emerges)

A factory reset and firmware update did not fix the issue

Pls can anyone give some help if thry know what is going on with this issue?

When scrolling down in the pdf the lines seem to flicker (they are thin lines a few pixels wide and red green blue ), and they go away completely when turning on full colorblind greyscale mode in developer options

Sorry for the bad spelling, i am typing on mobile

Lmk if the post doesn't have enough details to figure out

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Rainygortex3:
Yes, that's what I thought at first too. But I don't really believe its the screen, though. maybe the GPU?

Oh and also sometimes it happens in the Discord app too. In other apps the screen works flawlessly in terms of touch and display.

PDFs display fine in the native Xiaomi PDF reader, only google drive PDF viewer is mainly where I encounter this issue.

Edit: Has anyone else encountered this issue too before? If so, please may you let me know if you fixed it and if so how you fixed it.

I have this issue only with Google PDF viewer. OneDrive and the preinstalled Xiaomi viewer works just fine.

So is it just a bug in MIUI or with this particular phone? As it seems that other people are experiencing this issue too. I'll install a custom Android and see if the issue goes away.

There's no particular need to unpack/pack the image.

The image added options to cmdline are right there in the header.

Just hexedit at offset 0x40 (for Android image versions 0, 1, 2) or offset 0x2c (for Android image versions 3, 4).

If your device uses AVB0 you may need to regenerate that.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Thanks for the update - good to know that

You seem to know the Android kernel much better than I do.

My goal in playing with the kernel parameter was to find a way to get more messages from the kernel to find out why I can't boot the phone from a TWRP image via fastboot boot <twrpimage> when LineageOS 20.x is installed

But I was not successful ... do you know if this is possible?

regards

Bernd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Renate:
There are cases where fastboot boot recimage does not work but fastboot flash recovery recimage and go to recovery does.

I've never chased this down all the way. Many parameters for cmdline are generated on the fly from abl.

I presume that there is some parameter specific to recovery that is not inserted when you boot from memory.

I haven't used TWRP in years, I just roll my own recovery with rooted ADB.

I don't need any screen stuff.

Also, you could use my imgutil.exe (in the sig)

Mod Edit: Quoted Post Removed

The question is: Is that parameter actually in your boot image or is it added when abl runs it?

Is "factory mode" actually different from normal mode?

Android always has a bunch of junk all over the place.

This could be a red herring.

Look at your boot image.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ominiscience:
It is affecting my device function. Can't be red herring.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Renate:
Mod Edit: Quoted Post Removed

I told you, check the boot image itself to see if it's actually there or being injected by abl.

Are you rooted? Get the boot image and hexdump or use my imgutil.exe to examine it.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ominiscience:
Done.

What I got:
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ominiscience:
Where do I find the download link for the imgutil.exe?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Renate:
I guess in mobile it's harder to find?

http://www.temblast.com/android.htm

You can also just browse the first hundred bytes using a hex viewer.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ominiscience:
Quite.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Renate:
It doesn't look like there is any command line in there.

Still, I'd check manually with a hex viewer.

I haven't dealt with a lot of Boot Image version 3.

But it looks like your device is in "factory mode" and abl is sticking the flag in.

You can look for that in abl, but it's all packed in UEFI stuff.

Well, imgutil.exe only runs on Windows, but you can make the copy wherever you like it.

So, yeah, this is a Version 3 header and like most, it's gutless.

There is no cmdline in there, it's all generated on the fly.

So what you have is some flag in your system somehow that says this is factory mode.

I have no idea if this is something mainline Android or not.

You can try with fastboot to see if it throws in the same cmdline:

fastboot boot boot.img

Very big thanks for your guide.

I tried change loglevel from 6 to 3, but it simple created second loglevel. Can I edit cmdline params? If don't, how I can erase from cmdline second loglevel?

UPD.

Sorry, I didn't read it carefully

If I right understand, we can add only additional cmdline parameters in cmdline. And for remove changes need use

sed -i -e "s/cmdline=/cmdline= /g" header
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
You can add additional parameter via the cmdline in the header file. I don't know of a method do delete parameter but it might be possible to overwrite an existing parameter value by adding that parameter with a new value. But I did not test that in depth yet

[ASUS ZenFone 8] mitriemin:
Thanks for quick answer. I found in kernel source irqaffinity

I change 0-3 to 0-6 and go to CPU Trotting Test for check difference (cmdline continues show second params). And you right, phone much colder, so it work for my device.

Is it possible toiroot my phone,.install some kind of spyware on my phone In the system partition,and then remove write access again? The thieves are just turning off the phone when they steal it and doing a factory reset, bypassing the frp and reselling or using the phones. TMobile won't help me,.the cops must have better things to do, so this is up to me I guess. Any advice, besides "get better friends". Or"be more careful", would be unbelievably appreciated.

That is good advice, however none of that would prevent a thief from keeping the phone turned off, hard resetting, factory resetting, and then very simply bypassing the FRP lock. No software that I am aware of can prevent any of that. Hours of wasted time with my providers and the police show that they don't care to investigate. I need a means of having an app that will give me control of the device after a factory reset. I know it's possible. I can then fin out who the guilty people or person is. It could be someone I work with, a family member, a friend, anyone. I need to remove this person from my life before it's more than a phone that they take. Please, all I need is a kick in the butt in the right direction. Thanks
