[tom.android]

Performance test software:
- Install and Use DSU Sideloader with double speed of Stock A11. (may be the next thread separately) --> Howto install DSU Sideloader with CustomROM or A13 GSIs. very happy to test new A13 GSIs.

Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/thegsis/files/PixelExtended/

**Use this variant> PixelExtended-13-arm64_bgN-UNOFFICIAL.img.xz Only

Why?
supported - R/W system , exFAT , Auto Screen Brightness, Offline-charging and much more features than Pixel Experience

Howto install this GSI.
1. Use TWRP's Fastboot
2. Use CustomAP md5.tar with Odin.

Howto TWRP's Fastboot.

2. Use CustomAP md5.tar with Odin.
**Test with A11 SM-T225
** Now i used only CustomAP Making for flashing with Odin , No TWRP ' s Fastboot flashing any more. (Except: want to dirty flash update GSI)

using Magisk v24.3 patch (boot + vbmeta) flash at USER DATA Slot.

First boot must connects internet and update magisk.
When opening the Magisk App, does a popup with "Additional Setup needed" confirm that, it'll reboot and it should be fully installed.

Live Wallpaper Home Screen

Fix the wrong Taskbar height.
https://github.com/Coxxs/hide-tablet-taskbar/releases/tag/1.0

download and install this module >magisk-pe-taskbar-fix-hide.zip

hide: Long press taskbar to completely hide it (for Android 12.1+)

• Long press bottom of the screen (when not in desktop) to show taskbar again
• In PixelExperience ROMs, hiding the taskbar pill also fixes the problem of not being able to add icons to the desktop

Custom Extension Features from PE


Coinfigured with Treble Phh setting for GSI bug fix.
Such as > set double tap to wake

Install Google Search and update software after disable some apps.

Install Root File Manager App. For edit R/W System.

Face unlock works

offline-charging
It's help for breaking Samsung " Warrant bit " Stop state , which you can use power-off button to restart device normally.
( This feature did not have generally in all GSIs)

So much better than any stock currently available for this device better than a11 and a12 ... OneUi is just a pile of junk please make bunch of CustomAP''s for all variants this gsi is highly recommended I'm running it and feels so snappy and nice to use installed via DSU-Sideloader with a11 as base I hope someone makes customAP for both a11 and a12 XAR wifi only variant thanks to Tom for pointing out this new godie and all his testings

 

[ozmage]

ok

Hello Sr. One question using a11 or a12 as base for the customAP?

 

[ozmage]

here my 2 cents disabling all animations and blurs in developers options and setting skiavl as default hi render using vulkan all works and very smooth and fast and less CPU usage and heating

Hello Sr. One question using a11 or a12 as base for the customAP?

A11 Based can install much more GSIs and used storage less than A12.

for me storage is critical problem for SM-T22x

Aye , offline charging works but don't wake up on power button to see the % don't know if is because not flashed in the real partition or not , anyone has tried flashing the system.img of a gsi directly from the side loaded dsu I'm thinking on doing that on termux with dd if= of= maybe it does work maybe not and I end with soft brick tab XD
