@CRUECY you've apparently not been taking any notice of what your ROM's users have been communicating to you, so I don't even expect a reply to you, but will ask just for the sake of having inquired:

I extracted payload.bin/boot.img and hex-compared both. Even though they have the exact same byte count, they are quite different "inside"..

Even though you did not disclose anything in that regard at all in your OP, obviously you applied plenty modifications. But what exactly are they?

Everyone currently using this rom, I advise you to not update to the latest OTA, since it could cause your device to get stuck in a bootloop like mine, even after a clean install. I had to revert back to this rom, so please don't make the same mistake I made.

Hi all,

Is there a way to disable any setting from the "image quality settings"?

The reason why I ask is because, when scrolling in apps while videos are playing on-screen, whether it's YouTube, Discord, rif is fun, whatever else you may think of - the display gets slowed down to 60hz, and in some cases, even further below that (especially noticeable with Discord, because GIFs uploaded to discord get played as mp4 files). It makes the phone really annoying to use for me. I think it's because Sony is trying to optimize the experience for the video that's playing on-screen, which in turn makes me think that maybe the "image quality settings" feature is at work here.

Using the shell to force the refresh rate to 120hz does not work. Because of that, I was wondering if there was a way to disable this altogether, hopefully without installing a new ROM - Methods requiring root would be fine for me though. I can't seem to find anything that I can change that just completely disables and removes this feature.

Many thanks.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] djuroue1:
Hi,

I dont think it has anything ti do with image guality setting because if you find Youtube Video with 50fps it will play at 120hz and you can scorll yt at 120hz.Juat find some 720p 50 or 480p 50 not 720p or 480p without 50 at the End.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] shapeless8:
Yeah, I ended up figuring out that it's just an oddity from Android 14.

I downgraded my XQ-DQ54 using Emma from 14 to 13 and it... just worked. Now I know to just steer away from upgrading to 14 until people report that this actually was fixed in later versions of 14. For anybody else that may come across this and wants to downgrade, I wrote what I did into another post in another thread:

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-downgrade-to-android-13.4648756/#post-89258298

If anyone does these steps, make sure your bootloader is properly unlocked via ADB, or else things will likely get very nasty. I did the downgrade from a rooted Android 14 (67.1.A.2.182) over to 13 (67.0.A.4.104). No problems whatsoever, just had to re-root via Magisk but it really wasn't that much trouble.

And also of course, I take no responsibility for your actions or if anything breaks and/or bricks while anybody attempts what I have. Do this at your own risk!
[Sony Xperia 1 V] feneko_san:
I fixed youtube refresh rate on android 14 using this method:

1) Download SetEdit apk from https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.setedit/ (not google play version)

2) install to xperia via adb

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block setedit.apk

3) Open SetEdit and create new entry speed_mode with value 1 (see screenshot)

P.S. Unfortunately, after each reboot you need to repeat step 3

View attachment 6059566For any of you with a rooted Xperia 1v, has anyone tried to use set edit to set the min_refresh_rate to 120 to fix this issue?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] blacksunas:
This problem i noticed on xperia 1 IV so since than it is not solved and sony support telling that it is normal.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] djuroue1:
No it is not normal.It was fine on A13.With set edit min refrash rate at 120 everything was 120fps evan YT.Set edit wont work on A14.I did not root.

What I did, I installed web view beta in gplay store and it is much better.After update today of web View beta it is evan better.YT works now on 120 fps all the time.No lag in system.It was really bad not only yt but random fps drop and lag.Very bad.I have to test it more but whole day Yesterday it was fine.I hope thats it.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Troxelke:
I have the same issue and yes it was perfectly fine on A13. I tried your suggestion, I am able to install but cannot switch to the beta implementation as this is removed from the work profile ...? Well I guess I have to wait for an official update?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] djuroue1:
I opend web vietbetta app and switched there on three dot menu but after some time it drops frame somethimes again.I quess it is just random and web View istnt solution and we need to wait for update.It happens not that oft now and is usable.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] jeezus:
Might work from adb with debugging, but just ran this in termux with root to set the minimum.

settings put system min_refresh_rate 120
[Sony Xperia 1 V] ps3hacker3:
I can confirm that it doesn't work without root (I haven't tackled root yet on mine), anybody with root access tried this yet?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] kaorunichijou:
I'm an original creator of this thread: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/303693361

This is an Android issue and it has been fixed in Android 14 QPR2. However, pixel 4a users, which has got unplanned update, are still reporting this issue. It should be fixed in the march update (at least I think so), so just wait

Btw some info about this bug:

It appears only if you play 30fps (or less) video

Turning on force peak refresh rate can help you avoid lags when you play video in picture-in-picture mode (even if 60hz is your highest refresh rate on your phone)
[Sony Xperia 1 V] ps3hacker3:
And

And how exactly do you force peak refresh rate please?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] kaorunichijou:
It's in developer settings
[Sony Xperia 1 V] ps3hacker3:
Is that the Xperia 1 mark v? I have scoured all over for that exact setting (it even shows up if you search for it but clicking on it shows nothing) but can't find it anywhere. Picture attached of the same location from yours, latest updates applied (no root access)
[Sony Xperia 1 V] kaorunichijou:
Probably your OEM disabled it. I'm not sure but try this method: https://gadgetstouse.com/blog/2023/...hod_2-_lock_refresh_rate_values_using_setedit
[Sony Xperia 1 V] ps3hacker3:
This is the XQ-DQ62 variant bought in full price from bestbuy here in the states, have no clue why such a setting would be "disabled" by oem.

Set edit I have confirmed up above does not work, those variables already exist in setedit and attempting to add them again rejects it with an error that system cannot be modified. Unsure if root access changes this issue as I cannot get anyone to confirm testing this with root access.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] kaorunichijou:
Then everything you can do is wait for the update. Anyway, forcing refresh rate to the peak value doesn't fix this bug completely, it only works with case when you're going to PiP mode

[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Tested using: com.google.android.apps.maps Version 11.94.0303 (1067152516)

Also tested using Version 11.109.0101 (1067296302)​

I don't have a Google login on my Android 13 Samsung Galaxy A32-5G (SM-A326U) phone and Google Maps used to route from the current location to a given destination fine without needing anything more than the GPS radio (i.e., no need for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth "precise location").

Android has permissions set as follows:

Mobile data is set to "on"

Wi-Fi radio is set to "off"

Bluetooth radio is set to "off"

(GPS) Location is set to "on"

Google Maps has permissions set as follows:

Maps App permission is set to "Allow only while using the app"

Maps "Use precise location" is set to "off"

When I try to use the "red dot" to turn it blue to show my current location in Google Maps, it complains

"Precision location denied" (with a button to go to "Settings")

"For a better experience, turn on device location, which uses Google's location service"

The available options are "No thanks" or "OK"

When I press "No thanks" and try to route from the "Your location" start location by setting a location to route to and pressing on "Directions" and choosing to to route from "Your current location", it complains

"Can't apply some route options; try again"

If I allow Google Maps to "Use precise location", then routing from the current location works.

Why?

Specifically, why can't the latest Google Maps app route using just the GPS radio (and NOT the Wi-Fi & Bluetooth radios)?

[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
The problem that I'm trying to understand is whether it's just me or whether everyone has this same requirement for precise location when it's not needed?

Let's be blunt: There is no logical rationale (related to routing) that

precise location

(i.e., Wi-Fi & Bluetooth) should be

required

for routing (which is why this is a privacy question)

Is EVERYONE being required to set PRECISE location for the latest Maps to work?

Where is Google's excuse for that?

I can't find Google's excuse online. This just says it "improves" accuracy (which I'm sure it does); but nowhere does this say that Precise Location is required.

Find & improve your location’s accuracy

View attachment 6052146

I've been using GPS routing since Garmin, Magellan and CoPilot days (well before cell phones). Routing works fine with just GPS.

There is no reason to

require

Wi-Fi & Bluetooth.

When I looked for Google's excuse, I don't see any documentation from Google which says Maps

requires

precise location. So therein lies the problem I'm trying to find the answer to.

Two fundamental questions:

Is it just me or does everyone's Maps require precise location?

If everyone requires it, why doesn't Google document that?
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Thank you for that information which I have to take on faith because:

a. I can't find it documented anywhere on the entire Internet!

b. But it seems to be a fait accompli (at least on my phone it is)

Two questions arise (the first of which is most important):

1. Can we roll back to an older Google Maps to avoid this requirement?​

2. What about iOS users? Are they likewise affected?​

Nobody at Google whispers in my ear what's really happening - but I strongly suspect they gather tons of data by people being forced to use these intrusive but completely unnecessary additional location radios

Notice Google brazenly lied in the #3 bullet item below!

Google Location Accuracy === Precise Location​

Google's location service improves location accuracy by using Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and sensors to help estimate your location. Google may collect location data periodically and use this data in an an anonymous way to improve location accuracy and location-based services.

Turning this off will result in your device only using GPS for location. This may impact the accuracy of location used by apps such as Maps and Find My Device.

The reason #3 is a brazen lie is that Maps won't route without turning it on so it's no longer an option to turn it off. It has NOTHING to do with "accuracy" (that's just their excuse).

I've been using GPS since before cellphones so I know there is absolutely no doubt that Google Maps can easily route WITHOUT using the Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and sensors (and Google knows that too); so it's a brazen lie they're perpetuating.

Thanks for clarifying Google's policy - but even by copy and pasting the information you provided, I still can't find any cites from Google.

The problem here is that Google Maps is

REQUIRING

"Precise Location" which, let's never forget, uses the Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and sensors (which it does not need!).

If Google Maps was not

REQUIRING

Precise Location (and lying about why), it would be different. Especially as Google purposefully made it almost impossible to find all the myriad dispersed privacy-related settings to turn off AFTER you've been forced to have Google Maps automatically turn them on.

Unfortunately, it is what it is.

Is there the option to roll back to the last known good version of Google Maps prior to that decision?
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Thanks for that as I was furiously searching where I think Google's lawyers told them to delete it because what they're doing is criminal in my opinion (yes, literally criminal, and not only figuratively criminal).

If I can't find it, a typical user will never find it (which, clearly, is Google's intent when you put all the pieces together).

View attachment 6053242

I hope a class-action lawyer sues Google for this because...

1. Google is requiring extra radios & sensors for THEM (not for us!)

2. That requirement utterly DESTROYS your privacy (in one fell swoop!)

3. Google brazenly lied about why they added this unnecessary requirement

4. And it turns out, Google's lawyers (presumably) seem to have wiped out all traces of the notification

5. Worse - an innocent user can't FIND all the myriad ways to turn it off

6. Such that the requirement remained - but the justification disappeared!

I know what I'm doing and it's a ***** to turn off all those settings!

The result is the average user is forced to turn on multiple unnecessary tracking radios and sensors

which are not needed for routing

and which the typical user can't turn off!

Note that I can find the activities to turn them off - and I can create a one-tap shortcut even to those which are FIVE LEVELS DEEP AND MULTIPLE PACKAGES OBFUSCATED in the settings - but a typical user will never find the activities that Google PURPOSEFULLY scattered about (among multiple packages!) expressly to discourage users from turning all those unnecessary radios & sensors back off once activated.

* [Tutorial] Illustrated (mostly privacy based) one-tap shortcuts so that you can access (in a single tap!) any buried Android setting or app activity

I appreciate that advice to summarily ditch Google Maps, where you probably have no idea that I've been using routing apps on computers (using the laptop serial port Delorme pucks, for example) and standalone beanbag GPS units (like the StreetPilot III for example) since well before cellphones, so I'm aware of every possible map app out there for Android - and I've written tutorials on many of them too - but this isn't about other maps apps.

This is about Google Maps.
[General Questions and Answers] terminal2000:
"Google location accuracy" is a blatant lie. It does NOT improve accuracy as long as GPS signal is present. WIFI/BT is NEVER more accurate than GPS unless there's no GPS signal.

What it only does is to supplement GPS location when signal is weak or none. But that doesn't make a good marketing term and not a good enough reason for opening it all the time for everyone so that they can steal our privacy.

That's why they falsely and vaguely claim that stealing our WIFI/BT info is essential for improving GPS location (the most accurate source of location).
[General Questions and Answers] m4j0r4:
@terminal2000 is fully right here, google does not have perfect GPS but they hate admitting it.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
I agree.

I hope a class-action-suit lawyer sees this and begins the lawsuit against Google as it's obvious to me that Google publicly lied about why they now force everyone to give them all the nearby Wi-Fi access points in order to use Google Maps on Android.

When it's clear that Google doesn't need them.

They want them.

But they lied when they said they needed them.

How do we get this information to a class action suit lawyer?

no you can not use this firmware on generic fyt devices of course. also current versions are not very stable and not adapted for use with other cars except Audi/BMW/Benz.
