[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] MasK:
I have a GW4C 46mm which I passed on to my son, and recently bought the GW6C 47mm.

I waited for the GW4C to have the new OneUI5 before getting the GW6C. Tbh, the SW experience is very much similar. I didn't even find the W6 to be faster. Both watches have approximately 500-600MB free, despite the W6 having extra 500MB RAM.

Anyways, I still have no regrets as the larger display of W6 looks great and my 2yr old W4 is still working great and passed on to my son.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] iceepyon:
I agree. I have the latest version of OneUI on my GW4 Classic 46mm and it is running version smoothly. The GW6 Classic 47mm is a very slight upgrade when compared to the GW4 Classic 46mm with the latest version of OneUI installed. The performance of the GW4 Classic 46mm with the latest version of OneUI installed is very smooth, also you can now pair it to new device without having to reset it completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] enigmaamit:
What I'm seeing here, and other nooks of the internet is that those who had the GW4 and bought the GW6 are recommending the upgrade (based on experience), but those that have the GW4 and haven't bought the GW6 are discouraging from it (based on spec sheet). I would personally give more weightage to advice coming from those who have actually used a device than only read about it.

I have the Galaxy Watch Active 2, then I got the vanilla Watch 4 44mm and now I've bought the Watch 6 classic 47mm. My 3 year old GWA2 still works very well and does most of the "smart-watchy" stuff you'd want from a wearable on the wrist. Yet I'd still take the GW6C over it or the GW4 for that matter any day.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] sanjsrik:
Nope. I had the gw4. I "upgraded" because they brought back the bezel. Was it worth the trade-in? No. The way Samsung has thrown backing up out the window is my biggest issue. There is no substantial "upgrade" from the 4 to the 6. It's minor updates that they made just because they had to come out with a new version.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] enigmaamit:
I do agree with you to a certain extent. It's not a big technological upgrade, so purely function-wise it's just a mild refresh. But aesthetically, I think it's a pretty nice jump. If someone wants to use a wearOS device, any of the GW4+ devices will do just fine. They will all get the job done. It's the frills that dictate the upgrade to newer ones, sorta like the higher trims on the same car - incremental upgrades for a price...

I think it will boil down to whether you "want" one or not. I believe very few people actually "need" a smartwatch, unlike a phone which is an absolute necessity nowadays. And the decision is influenced more from the heart than the brain. It's just jewellery with an SOC and a screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] OnnoJ:
I ugraded from GW4C 42mm to GW6C 43mm. While no real upgrade in features, I appreciate the significant better battery life and also the little bit bigger screen. 1mm seems nothing, but my old eyes can read the screen a lot better.

With my slim wrists the 46/47mm versions are to big. Happy with the upgrade to a 43mm classic model.

I still use all my smartwatches: Gear S2 Classic and both GW4C and GW6C. GS2C and GW6C both run 2 days on one charge, GW4C only lasts 36 hrs.

So all in all I am happy with the upgrade.

There seems to be a lot of development here for custom ROMs for X13. I am wondering if these, specifically LineageOS and roms like CrDroid are safe to use and reliable, as I want a more stock android than MIUI. And I am also wondering if they are reliable as to use as a main phone, so if anyone has any expirience using these please let me know. Thanks for any help.

Also which one is the best / preferred and why?
[Xiaomi 13] liza koshy:
Unofficial AOSP Xiaomi 13 ROMs may lack the security and stability of official ROMs. Use them with caution, as reliability and safety can vary depending on the source and development community.
[Xiaomi 13] centered:
I understand. Would it be snesible to use an AOSP rom on a phone designed for MIUI and Xiaomi.eu roms? And what are the risks of doing so? Especially when it is not offiicial
[Xiaomi 13] NOSS8:
Official or unofficial has nothing to do with security, it's just that the Dev who is not part of the official Team, sometimes unofficial roms become official.

The roms on XDA are safe, elsewhere I don't know.
[Xiaomi 13] Veiranx:
About five months ago, I daily drove using Jeik's Lineage GSI with his overlays. While there were some quirks, such as no 5G, it was great for the fact that it was a friggin' GSI instead of a full ROM.

Fast forward to a month or two ago: I switched to loipuru's Lineage ROM as a daily driver. So far, I'm loving it! It's stable AFAIK and battery drain rates are fantastic (Accubattery: ~8-10% screen on rate, ~0.5-0.8% screen off rate). I did elect to turn off 5G, though, so YMMV on battery life if you decide to keep that on.

EDIT: I also use Magisk for root (and safetynet fix by kdragon). It's not fullproof, but it's good enough!
[Xiaomi 13] centered:
Ah that is graetto hear expiriences from an actual user. Looks like it works well. Btw, what is GSI? Sorry I am new to android dev and custom rom stuff. Thanks!
[General Topics] roshan_g20:
So I've been really fascinated by the new version of Android and it's rapid development in the mean time I've got to see some devices with some cool animations, coming straight to topic I want the animations.

Animations required:

1: In display fingerprint unlock animation from the Google pixel devices Android 13 and above and pixel 6 and above.

This how the fingerprint animation looks like

2: the red color glowing charging animation of moto phones Android >=12 which shows when device is charging when powered off.

Anyone having such devices if interested and willing to help please consider sending me those files here.

As per Google bard the finger print animation of pixel device is stored in this path

/system/framework/framework-res.apk so if such apk exists please consider sharing me this apk, id recommend using solid explorer app (a file manager) to view the root directories without rooting the phone, or if you know how to enter root directories your way you can do it. If you know exactly where the animation is you can send it to me, no need to send that apk

I don't know where the glowing multicolour charging animation of the moto phone which shows up when powered off is exactly located but if you know it, please share it with me.

Thankyou, have a great day

[Google Pixel Watch 2] ma10:
I noticed the dimensions were about the same so bought a cheap Apple watch charger stand and shoved the PW2 charger puck inside... and it works! However, due to the magnet on the PW2 puck, the PW2 will only stay put when oriented with the crown is pointing down. It needs a bit of a jiggle before it will sit snugly in the puck and starts charging.

Now for some diy'ing...this cheapo Apple watch stand was made entirely out of silicone which I deliberately chose in case I did have to squeeze it in although it more or less fit without much effort. Also, this enabled me to easily perform some surgery and allowed me to re-orientate the PW2's charger puck cable at the top instead of the bottom of the stand, and therefore I could have the PW2 sitting more comfortably with the crown facing upwards whilst charging now!

If no workaround is found, I'm sure it'll find its way down the Pixel line given a not-so-long amount of time (i'm thinking no more than a couple of months, if that), that's how "new features" usually go with Google anyways -- especially the similarities between the newest Pixel 8 all the way down to the Pixel 6 (Tensor based devices)....I remember Android 13 Pixel 6a released "new features" trickling down to the Pixel 5 Android 12 swiftly enough...

Hello

My Samsung a52S have laggy animations and scrolling.

Sometimes suddenly for a short time (1 hour)it runs like a flagship very fast and responsive and rest of the time runs like a slow slow phone with suttering scroll and laggy animations

Does anyone get same problems as me?

I am so frustrated about this thing, that he cannot mentain that short period of speed al the time, like why would he do that? Is weird

Usually when i let my phone close for a couple of minutes, it cames the speed
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Tuned modified:
Try out lineage os it runs smoothly I'm currently using ncx
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] lungus:
Yes but it doesn t work banking apps on lineage
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] happyPandaBear:
Banking apps are working perfectly as long as your device has not been rooted.

I'm using 3 banking apps on my A52s with LineageOS installed, root is not necessary to install LOS!

Personally it was the best decision to replace the original Samsung firmware with LineageOS. Battery life is way better (2-3 days with Samsung FW, 4-5 days with LOS) and the overall performance is great too. The only thing I'm missing is Samsung's camera app.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] lungus:
Why you don t have samsung camera app?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ShaDisNX255:
Because Samsung's camera app doesn't work on AOSP

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] lungus:
Do you know if google wallet will works on lineageos?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ShaDisNX255:
If you properly hide root then I think yes
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] lungus:
But for lineageos you need root?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ShaDisNX255:
Having a ROM in itself is having a rooted phone. So yes, root is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] robogo1982:
Not really. Having a custom ROM means your bootloader is unlocked, however, you can have an unlocked bootloader but you don't need root once your system is up.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ShaDisNX255:
Well I guess it depends on your definition of being rooted.

To me, having installed custom firmware be it the recovery, the super partition, etc is already having root access

Installing Lineage to me and I guess to Google is considered having root access to your phone, because super (and system by extent) is not a partition your usually have access to. You only have access to it once you install custom firmware on your device (even if it's not rw after you install it)

But I guess to some people being rooted usually only means having Magisk installed which to me is a wrong definition
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] lungus:
@happyPandaBear told us that he have lineageos without root
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ShaDisNX255:
Maybe this user meant lineageOS without Magisk.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Arobase404:
As a reminder here is the initial post and problem :

So I don't understand why some are suggesting to install Lineage, AOSP or any other custom roms when this has nothing to do with the issue and when this phone is still supported by Samsung ???

If you don't like Samsung apps and/or OneUI, then don't buy Samsung phones and buy anything else that could be even cheaper, easier and most probably faster... ^^

Samsung hardware and functionalities/features are built alongside with Samsung OneUI and Samsung apps and so if you consider your Samsung devices as laggy, slow or crappy then stop buying it but there is no need to install custom ROMs that are not based on OneUI and which won't work with most if not all Samsung apps !

The issue may be simply the crappy animations or some other crappy apps : so change it or don't use it !

At the very end, do backup all your data and apps, do a factory reset and after reboot and setting up restore your app one by one until you can detect which one is causing the problem (including the animation).

I have not done a factory reset since the last time I tried TWRP... ^^

On my side, this phone is pretty good and fluid and battery is excellent (never seen so good battery life before even with other Galaxy phones or Tablets) and even though my A528B is rooted I'm still using stock (except rooting) Samsung OneUI firmware. Ok, Samsung Pay is not working (but I don't have a Galaxy Watch and I didn't change my EUX CSC yet which could be part of the issue) but everything else is working fine : Samsung Heath, Secure Folder, bank apps, wireless ticket, Paylib : all setup but I don't use it as I only use my own bank app... I also have lots of apps installed.

Even though this was not a real problem to me, I simply uninstall what some (and me) are considering as bloatwares whith adb command with which the phone don't even need to be rooted.

Every month I update my phone with the latest Samsung security update without loosing my apps and data with PC Odin...

Forgot to mention I don't use any "social apps" which could be the worst problem with your phone, whatever it is... ^^

Hello dear Pixel community!

I rooted my Pixel 8 pro and want to change my mac address temporary. I need it to access some certain networks.

I tried terminal commands, Mac changing apps and even a Xposed app that enables Mac changing on Android 12 and up. Nothing worked.

Is it possible? If yes, does anyone know how?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] billyt1:
There's a privacy setting under WiFi settings that randomize the Mac address Everytime you reconnect to WiFi. Might need to turn that off before you can change it.

Since your rooted you can get change my Mac off playstore. Then youll need BusyBox.

What is this?

Galaxy Diagnostics screen Tool Fixer is a Samsung Official Tool for fixing screen burn-in of samsung devices

Compatible devices

The only devices compatible for screen burn-in removal are the S8, S9 and S10 (including all they're variants)

The device to scan the screen of the phone with burn-in needs to be superior than the S9 (S9, S9+, S10, S10+, etc)

How to use

1) Enable usb debugging on both devices and connect the printer device, allow usb debugging connection and in the tool select 1

2) Connect the ghosted phone, allow usb debugging and in the tool select 2

3) Scan the ghosted phone (in a black box), once its done connect the ghosted mobile and in the tool select 3 to write the data on the phone

PD: If when you did the second step it didnt open the scanning menu select 4 for it to open

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MX-linux-fan:
Dear Developers,

I have a question on one problem I could not solve myself (despite finding plenty of answers and possible approaches to the problem on the Internet).

None of the found solutions has worked for me :(

I want to add something to a boot procedure. The system I have is rooted LineageOS 19.1 (I have root thanks to Magisk). After my custom scripts are added I'd like the Magisk app (only app) to be removed (as I'd like to remove everything what could allow a user to destroy what I've implemented).

The things I want to add are: various shell scripts and one of them starting crond (from busybox). I've successfully created some iptable rules and I'd like them to be applied on boot (and the cron is to reimplement them - in case android is demolishing my custom firewall due to network change or whatever - as I've already experienced that my firewall is not permanent and I do not know what events are replacing the rules and how to stop such behaviour).

I've been changing /system/etc/init/hw/init.rc (and implementing other related things I could find around this topic on google...) but without any success :cry:

After the boot everything I've changed remains changed the way I've modified it (in init.rc) but no effect is seen. So I do not know what's going on and I'm astonished a lot... :unsure: If my changes were on some ramdisk, as I'm starting to suspect, then why I see my changes after reboot? Do I have to rebuild a boot.img and sideload it to my mobile

as what I'm trying to achieve cannot be accomplished any other way? Maybe it's possible with LOS 18.1? (then I would downgrade)

If it's possible, please help me to do this, I'd appreciate it a lot.

Below I'm sharing with you one of my last changes - if I could get them working it would be fantastic :)

1. /system/etc/init/hw/init.rc has the following entries:

...

service sysinit /system/bin/sh /system/custom/sysinit.sh
disabled
oneshot
user root
group root

...

on property:sys.boot_completed=1
start sysinit

2. /system/custom/sysinit.sh:

#!/system/bin/sh

export PATH=${PATH}:/system/bin:/system/xbin

for FILE in /system/etc/init.d/*
do
sh $FILE
done

Permissions of /system/custom/sysinit.sh are -rwxr-xr-x (root root)

3. directory /system/etc/init.d has been created with permissions

drwxr-xr-x (root root)

4. and of course I've put scripts, I'm interested in to boot, to the

/system/etc/init.d and all of them have permissions (ownership)

-rwxr-xr-x (root root).

Thank you very much for your help,

Best regards,
