Hopefully, this will be the last time I post lol, but I think I've finally found the real cause of the problem. After hooking up "adb logcat", I seeing that the "powergenie" app was spamming the log with thousands of crashes. It appears that is what was hogging all the background CPU. All of...

I'm going to try doing a factory reset of my phone after I back up everything. Something is still very screwed up about 50% of the time. I can't even zoom smoothly in Google maps anymore.

Unfortunately there are still some times throughout the day where it will get laggy. The intermittent nature of the problem is probably because it's related to scheduling of background processes. I really wish we could see detailed cpu stats on nom-rooted phones.

Yes. But when I woke up this morning, my phone was slow again! I noticed that there was message about "Play Protect" being on, so I opened the settings and see that it's scanning is enabled (I had always kept this disabled before the update). Within 30 seconds of disabling it, my phone is now...

Omg I fixed it. It's sooo much faster now, completely back to normal. The solution was to disable all of the autoscans in the Huawei "Optimizer" app. Ahhh feels so much better now.

For me it's gotten really bad. It feels like the CPU is running at 20% of normal speed. Everything I do is so much slower. Even something as simple as turning on and off the flashlight is now delayed. Is there a safe way to downgrade back to 10. 0?

After using 10.1 for a full day, I can say for certain that everything is laggier: swiping back, swiping down on the status bar, bringing up the keyboard, tapping buttons in any app. I'm very disappointed.

I just installed 10.1 and am disappointed. It seems that disabling animations in the dev options no loner works. There are now animations every time I change windows which makes it sluggish. It may be my imagination, Firefox also feels slower.

Is there any chance Sparkle will work on an Android device that can't be rooted? I've upgraded my tablet to one that's much faster, but sadly lost Xwayland support. I'm using Xsdl, but the keyboard support is so buggy it's driving me crazy.

I agree that it is an almost perfect phone, but I also use it for some development work with a Bluetooth keyboard while plugged into a USB-C monitor. There are a few cases where I'd like to have raw access to the network interfaces with wireshark as well as being able to configure a few...

I haven't seen much discussion of rooting in the last year. Is it as simple as unlocking and installing Magisk? I've been putting off upgrading to EMUI 10. Should I stay with 9.1? Can I upgrade before or after unlocking/rooting and still have root? I see this website is still advertising...

tillum it's not a mouse, but my bluetooth keyboard has a track point and three buttons (left, middle, and right click) that all worked properly without any changes. It doesn't have a scroll wheel, so not sure if that's working.

Are you able to start something simple like xterm without any window manager running? The error seems like it is specific to xfce4, maybe related to dbus.

I forgot to mention that I also run the following command as root while mounting everything for the chroot. (tmp is in the chroot directory and mounted as tmpfs): chcon u:object_r:app_data_file:s0 tmp

tillum Can you post the commands you ran and the output? To lauch Xwayland, I first open the Sparkle app and click "Start". And then in my Arch chroot in termux, I run the following script as a normal user: #!/bin/bash set -e mkdir -p /tmp/sparkle ln -s...

This is awesome! Much appreciated. I'm sure more people will be comfortable using it now that they can build it themselves.

It's a big difference to me. I'm currently using my tablet for remote development work on a daily basis and it's working really well. I'm using dwm, xterm with mosh, firefox, libreoffice, and zathura. I had tried doing that with VNC a while ago, but gave up after 30 seconds. It was much too...

tillum I basically just followed the instructions on the first post for using Sparkle without busybox. I didn't need to modify the Lua scripts. I'm guessing SELinux may be a problem without root. I'll try setting it up without root when I have a chance later.

Thanks for the new release! I've updated and everything seems to be working without any changes on my Samsung Tab S3 with chroot and Arch Arm Linux. Your changes also solved the flickering for me! The old version would flicker the screen whenever my keyboard's trackpoint activated, but it's...

I now have it working very well on my Samsung Tab S3 using Xwayland and a tiling window manager. Firefox runs amazingly well! Is it meant to be used only with Xwayland or will it also work with native Wayland applications? BTW, I think if you open sourced this project and promoted it a bit...

This sounds amazing! Just curious, is it related to https://github.com/twaik/sparkle ?

If you want a powerful phone with a big screen, good camera, and big battery, nothing else comes close. I used it with T-mobile in NJ and NYC without any problems, but I don't use the features you mentioned.

Is the modem a new issue for you with 206?

Last night I got an update notification for 9.0.0.206 on my L29 in the US. Changelog just says May 2019 security update.

If you're referring to my post, please accept my apology. Any frustration that I expressed was directed at Google/Android for limiting our control over the networking interfaces. I didn't mean to insult your work on NetGuard. I think it's amazing what you've been able to make it do without...

I honestly don't think there are any as good. I didn't want to buy a Huawei because I'd much rather have an unlocked bootloader, but for me, the big screen, active pen, big battery, and fast cpu are too important to give up. If you don't mind a slower CPU and no pen, but still want the huge...

Opps.. thanks missed that. Hopefully there's a way to unlock and root Huawei phones again so that a proper firewall can be used. :/

It appears to me that some internet traffic is leaking through when the phone is locked, even for apps that are marked to always be blocked. Can anyone else reproduce? I've tested with two apps: 1. In Chrome type any word (not a URL) in the search bar. Lock the phone. Unlock after a couple...

I just bought a Huawei Mate 20 X and am disappointed that when using my bluetooth keyboard, Alt Tab just not switch between recent apps. On every other Android device, this works. Any suggestions on how to get it working again? I've tried different keyboards and launchers, but no change.

To answer my own question now that I have my Mate 20 X, YES! There's an awesome app called SecondScreen that can control everything related to resolution, even overscan settings. It just needs permissions granted with adb, no root required...

Anyone know the source of the latest leak? I was hoping a software crack had been discovered because of the multiple vendors and dropping price. I was so close to buying a Mate 20 X.. I guess I'll wait a bit longer. :(

Am I missing something? Isn't this thread about installing a custom recovery and unlocking a Snapdragon Note 9? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/samsung-galaxy-note-9-snapdragon-roms-kernels-recoveries--other-development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-note9-snapdragon-t3845536

I am able to charge and share files with my phone using a plain usb-c to micro-b cable, so I guess that means OTG is working for me. ---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ---------- Meant to reply to this..

Anyone else having charging issues? I've tried many cable/charger combinations including stock, but 80% of the time, my phone will charge slowly <500ma according to Ampere. Sometimes it will randomly switch to fast charging 1,500-2,000ma. Seems like a software rather than hardware issue..

Also noticed a bit of crackling with the sound. I'm guessing it's related to CPU usage. Doesn't seem to be affected by volume and is noticeable with both speakers and headphones. Also is there any way to enable Ambient Display?

I've install the current LineageOS on a Max Pro I bought today. It's working fairly well, but I've noticed 2 things: 1. Camera performance is quiet slow (1-2 second delay after pressin shutter) 2. Wifi signal is weaker than with my other phone and tablet I didn't try the stock ROM at all, so...

Can someone else using this rom run the Sunspider benchmark? https://webkit.org/perf/sunspider/sunspider.html Browseing has felt a bit slow, and I thought it was because I was using Firefox, but after testing Firefox, LOS Browser, and Chrome, all are showing Sunspider scores of 900-1,000ms...

Thanks, I'll wait on upgrading until Pie is stable or there are new features. Dex could be interesting if Samsung ever adds X11 support so that we could run accelerated Linux GUI apps. I've been using your LOS 15.1 rom for nearly 2 months now as a replacement for my laptop. Thanks to Termux...

How does this rom with Lineage compare to your non-treble build? Any reason to switch if I want to stick with Lineage?

You keep misreading what I wrote.. I never claimed an additional battery drain, just a high CPU usage.

OP mentions a battery drain due to the hardware not entering a deep sleep power state. That should have nothing to do with a system process using a lot of CPU.

I've noticed that `system_server` uses a constant 8-9% of CPU regardless of what I'm doing or apps are open. Does everyone else have this? Any ide what the cause is? I'm not running gapps or any google services, so I'd expect the system to not use so much CPU when no apps are open and it's...

I only used the stock rom for about 2 days, so don't have the best feel for it, but I think there was a definite improvement from switching to LineageOS. With stock I remember quite a bit of lag and freezing in the first few minutes after boot when I assume things were starting up. With...

S pen works perfectly for me. I use it with Squid on a daily basis. I haven't tried adaptive storage, but my SD card works fine.

I've installed this on my new SM-T825 and everything that I need is working great, especially my bluetooth keyboard and s pen for note taking. Thanks for all of your work!

Approximately how bad is the battery drain vs stock Oreo? For example, how many extra % drain overnight?

Thanks. I had tried MTP as well, but even though the log said it was enabled, I couldn't get my Linux laptop to even show it as connected. I hit the enable/disable button in TWRP, but it seemed to have no effect. I ended up just buying a cheap microsd and flashed the encryption disable patch...

Hi, I just bought a T825 and wanted to root it, so followed the instructions in the first post. I successfully installed the latest TWRP and the vm-verify patch, so I am able to reboot into recovery multiple times, but I am unable to install the forced encryption patch.. When I boot into TWRP...
