Samsung Galaxy One UI - Optimization Guide

UPDATED OP​

Thanks to @OktaviAnabelle , i added some settings i forgot to mention before, added some stuff from her config and edited other settings.

I'm testing some of her ADB commands too, if everything is good, i might add them to my personal ADB config and update ADB commands post

adb shell settings put system dim_screen 1 adb shell settings put global boot_count 0 adb shell settings put global Phenotype_boot_count 0 adb shell settings put global low_power_back_data_off 1 adb shell settings put global sem_power_mode_refresh_rate 0,0,-1,0 adb shell settings put global sem_power_mode_refresh_rate_cover 0,0,-1,0

I also reset these to clean test the new ADB settings
adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 60.0 adb shell settings put global enhanced_processing 0 adb shell settings put global restricted_device_performance 1,1 adb shell settings put global sem_enhanced_cpu_responsiveness 0

1 thing that i learned , every changes & adjusments take times to shows its results , but what i did was just use my phone as usual , charge my phone as usual , give it some time to adapt to the new settings , as the time goes by it gets better , it keeps getting better & better & now all works great as i wanted.

Some if not many Android users succumb to the common pitfall(s) to not let any and all changes to the system to adjust over a period of time whether a device is rooted or not rooted.

From the early days of Android Ice Cream Sandwich [Android 4.0], the norm was to usually allow 3 - 5 days to determine if an adjustment and/or change to the system is pure snake oil.

OCD Moment: I developed a habit over the years since I became a crack-flasher of rebooting my device 3 times with 5-minute intervals to ensure quality control after flashing any Custom ROM or Magisk Module.

Software Update (Exynos S22)​

What to expect from latest BVKC update for SGS22 ? It only update CP and CSC, left the same AP and BL as previous BVKB update.

Is it mandatory to reinstall all the apps before updating? Because I've reinstalled everything and the phone is slower, laggy and drains more battery. I've read through the thread that it is advisable to do it, but I would like to know more and what happens if I don't reinstall everything

Restore everything, update, then debloat again. It's Very simple. You don't want to ? Cool, go ahead, AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Some apps will have crash, expecially settings and you can't turn on wifi, 4g, adb, can't swipe status bar, and settings cannot be open. These are the problems in S22 and S22+ caused (sometimes) if u not restore apps, then you are forced to restore and wipe all data.

Thanks for the very precise information

Has anyone with an SD S21 Ultra figured out what's causing major battery drain with Android 13 update. I spoke to about 3 people who are all experiencing severe battery drainage plus minor overheating, not everyone else around me does what we do here on XDA and trick out their phone with optimizations. Everyone I know is on plain stock, with stock settings and no ADB optimizations. I on the other hand optimize my phone, did this again waited till it settled and definitely not much changed. My buddy usually has 59% by the end of the day, but now he's seeing 39% by the end of the day. It sounds too me like this is more of an S21 issue not an S22.

There is a golden rule that stems back from the early days of the Galaxy S6 [Android 5.0] where it is was important to wipe (system) cache partition and/or wipe data/factory reset from the recovery menu after any major system update to avoid all sorts of potential problems.
-- Whether or not the old adage applies to devices with today's specs running newer versions of Android remains to be seen.
-- The jury is out on whether Android 13 has a on-going battery drain bug.
-- Some Pixel 6 users were griping about a battery drain issue after migrating to Android 13.
-- The blame is supposedly being placed on "certain launcher background activities".

I feel like sometimes this is all intentional to upgrade our phones.

Smartphone manufactures utilize batteries that are designed for a 400-500 recharge cycle … this means the battery is rated for 400-500 full recharges before its capacity is reduced to 80% - more recharges = less capacity. These manufacturers have a method of controlling how long a device will last - and could be the reason for sealed phones.

-- If folks could replace their own smartphone batteries, older devices would still be in most people hands today.
-- Replacing one's own smartphone battery might interfere with how high intense app(s) behave, e.g., games, etc.
-- Some would argue that waterproofing devices is more of a marketing tactic than a benefit.

Did you go to recovery and wipe cache partition then repair apps? Then use Galaxy App Booster from Good Guardians.

 

[Axiomkid]

This may seem like a dumb question. Anyone know why I can't access the data folder? Why is this a problem all of a sudden. No 3rd party apps? I'm trying to pull files I downloaded from zedge from the data folder but the F*(* I can't get in it won't give me access wtf. And screw you Samsung how are you protecting my privacy by disabling me access to my data folder? Android 13 is very fishy.

Restore download manager from uninstall list, I believe there's two packages search download in uninstall section you'll find them.

Ok I just did it for the second time to see if it fixes anything, this day the battery was even worse 5 hours in fairly light tasks I'll wait about 4 days to see if it improves
