[DISCUSSION] Android 10 update review. Should we be quick to update? - Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion

Several of us have gotten the Android Q/10 update on our devices.
A quick review would be greatly appreciated from the ones on Android 10.
Please kindly touch on these topics
1. Battery, Screen on Time and Standby.
2. Performance (Launch speed, Ram management, general smoothness of scrolling on menus etc)
3. Camera
4. Any new features. Or redacted features eg. The Screen recorder has disappeared.
5. Benchmarks. Did Samsung sneakily throttle the SOC even more or does it have improved perfomance?
6. Do Goodlock plugins still work? What about the other plugins (Game performance plugins etc)
PS
Miscellaneous
The A20 was never the fastest phone of its price in my opinion. It struggles in some scenarios that cheaper phones wouldn't. I would like to know if this behaviour has changed on Android 10.
eg
1. The share function. It normally takes several seconds to come up. How is it on Android 10?
2. Going to recent apps from a landscape app/game? It usually lags and takes several seconds to figure out what orientation it should be. Did they fix this?
3. Does the Settings app and several other system apps take forever to launch when you compare the launch speeds to similarly priced or even cheaper phones?
4.What about the scrolling experience in between menus? Is it still a laggy mess? The "apps" section especially on the Settings app runs at 2 frames per second! And the device care section too.
5. Auto rotation. It was never instant. It is always a laggy mess on my A20. Go to youtube while your auto rotation is turned on. Turn your phone to Landscape. Does it go to Full screen immediately or does it lag and stutter then do it like on Android 9?
6. OpenGL is crap on Android 9. Is it better on 10? What about Vulkan?
7. What about game load times? I am usually the last to load into game arenas on my A20. Be it Mobile Legends, the newly released Area F2, Call Of Duty mobile, Arena of Valor etc. I am always the last, several seconds after everybody has. Have they fixed this?
Thanks y'all
Happy reviewing
It will really help.

Good thread,
feedback soon:
Firstly the upgrade has enabled me to backup and restore. I lost this ability when I can upgrade to pie U4. This is well worth the effort of upgrading.
Secondly, I can now run Ultimate Q and an overclocked kernel from Minh.
I'm currently running stock Q with Minh kernel.
To do a proper review you would need to have 2 phones side by side: one running stock pie and the other with stock Q.
I'll go back to stock kernel and do my best to strain my 65 year old brain to remember what stock pie was like.
I can also run some benchmarks.

for me i get the official android Q flashing it with odin and i notice the following:
#the battery draining so fast.
#the performance is good but its cause battery draining.
#the camera in android Pie have much options. in pro mod.and the colors much real in Q.
#some new option in sharing and one handmod keyboard and alarm. sounds..the screen recording can be add as it in pie.iam using the same apps in Q and its works.screen show battery will charging.
#the performance is better but its laggy some time and the battery draining fast... i have made some tweaks in vendor build.prop file and still testing..till now i have a good performance and good battery life after many test.but still testing more.i created a topic for stock pie rom in the same tweaks from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ance-build-prop-v1-0-stock-rom-t4073303/page2

- Overall feel it's the same
- New gesture navigation is good
- No screen recording is definitely bad since nice shot is not working anymore
- the privacy features are a plus
- the ui is overall more consistent
- stock apps are mostly the same with a few minor tweaks here and there
- the fingerprint sensor is faster
- i can't say anything about gaming performance since i don't play any graphic intensive game
- battery is still kind of the same
I am currently using a205f with stock q

my mom is still on stock as she still has the phone on warranty. the main reason i would look to upgrade her is because the call recording seems to be slightly more open on Q, so is q atleast better on stock?

[Q] Update to CM5 as promised but nothing??

here is a post Cyanogen did back in June 30th of 2010
It’s been just under a week since Google released Froyo (Android 2.2) into the open-source world and we’ve made great progress on CyanogenMod-6 already. Approximately 20 of us on the CM team are working hard on merging all of the community-developed extras in, as well as porting to new devices. Google did a great job and really gave us the best foundation to start from this time around.
Here’s where we stand so far.. Most of the CyanogenMod extras have been merged. Some features are being reworked (like trackball settings), new device ports are well underway. The first devices to see CM6 experimental releases will most likely be the Nexus One and Droid simply because those are the devices that “just work”. The Dream/Sapphire port has everything working but one small issue remains. Wes Garner has the Slide port well underway. I don’t have a status report of the Desire, Incredible, and Evo versions at this time.
I’m expecting that we should have some experimental releases by the weekend, but please don’t spam us asking for ETAs.. We are just as excited to get this out as you are

Regarding updates to CM5.. A small update will be coming this weekend to fix a few bugs but the focus will remain on CM6!
Thanks to everyone who has been supporting us with testing, bugfixing, code, new features, and of course donations. CM is what it is because of the community. Thank you!
just curious for us not using froyo will there be an update to CM5??..
Discuss
bymp
10char....
Bamp?
10char? anybody what to discuss the promise he made??
This is really not good that he promised something and then didn't fullfil this promise, but honestly... CM6 is so much better than CM5.08, personally I am not even thinking on trying 2.1 ROMs, I really don't understand why to bother with older software if newer gives you not only new features and same if not better speed and stability.
There is no point. Same reason why we don't see any progress on donut roms. They're old. 2.2 runs one hell of a lot better than any 2.1 roms did. Give up on CM 5 and come to the now.
I regret moving away from Donut (CM4.x). For me CM6 works worse than CM5 and CM 5 works worse than CM4. The only reason I am staying with CM6 is the hope that 6.1 will improve the situation. The main issue is the lack of memory and what follows as consequence (can't view big websites, can't take photos, apps close themselves due to lack of RAM, push mail does not work, etc.)
These problems are not always occuring, but they occur most of the time, especially if the last reboot is more than 2 or 3 hours in the past. I recommend waiting for CM6.1 and then reassess whether it is viable to switch.

This is a punishment for lack of exploring. I've been using 2.2 ROMs now for a while and aren't having any of the issues you're having. Did you mess with any of the cm settings? What about the adw launcher settings? All of these play a part in the functionality of the ROM. Some advice:
Under CM Settings > Performance Settings:
Code:
Use Compcache @ 25%
Disable JIT
Disable Surface dithering
Make sure Lock Home in Memory is checked
VM Heap Size 32m
For ADW Launcher:
Screen Preferences:
Code:
Make sure you are only using 3. This helps with the slowness
System Preferences:
Code:
Disable Scrollable Widget Support
Check System Persist
UI Settings:
Code:
Uncheck Desktop Dots
Uncheck Secondary ActionButtons
Uncheck desktop Indicator
With these settings, I have no problems running any 2.2 rom on my G1. Also, I have widgets on each of my screens.
when you press anything in setting or any app.. does it load instantly?
or is there a second or 2 lag? i strip my donut roms completly remove everything google including market, and i have 35.43 mb free on my data partition. its stupidfast. but csdi is the fastest @ that setting.
most of the time when i end apps with task killer i have 55 mb free.
so i can load it up with widgets if needed.
what im trying to say i have achieved that speed with froyo but only if my cpu is clocked @ 650+ all the time and super stripped. gah i rambled.. i hope you understand what im tying 2 say.

[Launcher][5.0+] Fast Draw

I wanted a launcher that immediately shows the installed apps and has an option to categorize them. As I couldn't find one I liked, I decided to make Fast Draw.
It's basically an app drawer without support for widgets (but it does support shortcuts) and it's somewhat configurable. That's about it, it's a pretty simple little launcher.
Please give it a try and leave a comment (I have only tested it on two devices so far, please let me know of anything unusual).

Very fluid on my Oneplus One, currently running the SultanXDA Cm14.1 ROM. All the pref settings seem to work, no problem at all. A very nice launcher for anyone wanting to get right down to business when they turn on their phone, and can do without all the eye-candy of transitions and tons of widgets. Perhaps you might consider enabling just one or two widgets sometime in the future for display on the Home category tab.. All in all, I believe it to be a great start, for what it is.
As far as attaching image files of any sort, I believe all you need to do is to scroll to the bottom of the message pane in the "Additional Options" section, and select "Attach Files" manage attachments. I'll give it a test here to confirm...
Nevermind, I see you figured it out...
Nice job :good:
Works on my tablet with android 5.0.1.
It would be great if we could place the apps freely (to have them organized in way comfortable for us), since it's simple and clean it runs very smooth. It feels like the screen is bigger ?.
My only "worry" is that it consumes more than default (launcher3) even though it has less stuff, so idk, hope to see how you improve this app~

Could you tell me the numbers? I also noticed that it consumed a lot more RAM, until checking launcher3's memory use in Android Studio, and noticing it's a much bigger number than it says on the phone. In Android Studio's monitor both apps seemed to use about the same amount (if not using widgets in launcher3). I don't know why there's a difference.

Numbers? (Sorry I'm not very experienced with android related stuff) but well, I checked the ram usage as soon as I went home and it was consuming around 20mb, whereas launcher 3 was consuming 15mb. The difference is not much but as a simple launcher I thought it would consume less.
Maybe making an option to add the apps like the "shortcut" option on old androids 2.3.6 (like, holding tap then finding the app) that way it doesn't have to load all the app icons on the tab of "unmoved apps" ).

[APP][6.0+][ROOT]FDE.AI-v23.04.3 - Powerful AIO Android devices optimizer (20.04.2023)

ROOT access is required for this app!​
This app automatically modifies wide range of low-level system parameters using ROOT access. By using this app you agree with EULA and any possible risks.
FeraDroid Engine (FDE) - an All-in-One ultimate optimizer for all devices running Android OS. All parameters are individual for EVERY device depending on it's hardware/software characteristics. All parameters are very balanced - you may gain performance without increase of power consumption AND reduce power consumption without losing performance. FDE.AI is totally compatible with very wide range of devices and Android OS versions. Very wide-range settings of OS and Linux kernel are configured, still being cross-platform utility, maximally compatible with all devices. FDE.AI applies configurations depending on hardware and software of device, so that in the end every device is configured individually. All applied changes are systemless (system partition is not touched). Some app features may not be supported on various CPUs/kernels.
Make a backup of your data just in case before installing this app. Don't use any other All-in-One tweakers with FDE.AI or things may get bad!

Can we know more about how it optimizes Kernel and Android OS also would b better if you could tell us if it's open source.
This app still can be patched

No...it's not open source. He doesn't want to share his methods of 'machine learning' IIRC. I bought n tried v6.0.
I had been using L-Speed's 'Balanced' setting at the time. Tried FDE's performance setting...noticed no improvement. /js
Bump of this thread. Updated docs & info. Pushed v9.2 free version.
I'm using 9.2.4 and I've noticed one bug which might or might not be of pure visual nature. Anyway when I select an app to be preloaded, upon next reboot this app is replaced with the one listed just above it...
Hello I've bought and use the app for some time, overall it's pretty good. However I want to know more in details about some of the AI function/options that's not really explained everywhere in more detail (afaik), some clarification would be great
1. the difference between normal and alternate doze (how they works and stuff)
2. toggle bg apps kill (#killbgapps / #dontkillbgapps), what's this? what's the default config for fresh fde and what will it affect?
Hello.
I'm using Poco F1 , with Official corvus os and greenify and no other mods and stock kernel. I installed the free version and now my charging speed is way to slow after the installation.
While charging I switched of the phone, only to see the phone automatically trying to boot and then showing the charging logo, after seeing it, I disconnected the charger and booted into system.
Please help op if you could fix the charging issue, I would really love to buy it.

Will check that. Actually preload is dropped after reboot, so it should be enabled manually after every reboot. Thanks.

1. In first case used direct force deep doze mode. On some heavy modified systems like MIUI this causes various issues, so i came out with another method - dumpsys deviceidle step x3 times - this avoids direct force doze but makes it skip idle wait, motion sensor check steps & go directly to light doze - this way it doesn't conflict with nothing, but may not work as well as expected. Simply - use alternatedoze only if you have troubles with normal doze.
2. #killbgapps executes only once you type it - it doesn't do it automatically. Issued 'am kill-all' commad which is nearly same as you'd clear all your recents, while cached data is still in ram.

Hi, maybe try to change kernel - in last FDE versions I removed anything that can be related to charging. If you will buy pro version, you can get refund if things 'll go wrong & you want to uninstall it. Thanks.
Seems working
I think i see some differences
Android 10 keeps applying restrictions for the app not use battery in background, after every reboot of the system, should I worry about that? Also, can I leave fde in that "optimized" list in settings/battery management?
Fde is amazing , thanks!

it is taking to long to receive it
any one know why ?
No clue....I'm still waiting being on Nov 1 patch!!
My S20 FE (Exynos) already received it month ago, while the Snapdragon version of the same still hasn't received it.
I'm beginning to think Exynos is getting a lot of early love.

It's available on chc csc, but if you use Google dialer ussd codes, android 11 stops them from working so now I can't enable wwd csc. I'm going up downgrade to 10. I lost 5g and many features. Do not like it
I'm on 9860 rooted
It is available on the TGY variant now.

I updated on the 4th of February but so far the battery usage appears to be similar although it's early days.
The only hiccup so far for me is the amount of apps in the folder that shows on one page i.e 3x4 now, but that's no deal breaker.
Sorry but I do not use Goodlock or any of the plug ins.
The finger print scanner appears faster and more accurate.
I like the way I can tap on the date and time on my lockscreen which now then shows my calendar , music and weather.
All early days.

Call quality is the same.
I mainly use mobile data but WiFi is strong.
Network signal is the same.
I turn my phone off at night and charge then so I'm not sure on charging times.
I use Spotify Premium coupled with Samsung Buds Live and the quality remains very good although I'm no audiophile in any sense of the word.
The new volume bar reminds me a little bit of iOS !

Thank you for your feedback.
Lets see when would I get it in Pakistan
Few bugs for me
- Night mode shots take WAY longer to process
- Camera apparently taking brighter pics than before , I have to always reduce brightness slider for faces
- Gallery straight from GCAM crashes, very slow to load when you delete pics
- Goodlock Multistar, Clockface, Pantastic and Quickstar working with their updated versions
- Battery life almost same
I decided to do factory reset since I'm noticing fps drops in games.
Wow, there is a huge difference now. The phone is literally flying and the games just runs perfect for me now.
I really recommend it if you notice performance drops.

We are very excited to announce the beta of Paranoid Android Topaz, based on Android 13.
On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with beautiful wallpapers from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app from the PlayStore.
Our builds are based on the Code Linaro Organization Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features, performance, and stability. We are dedicated to providing a user experience with the stability that you can expect from stock ROMs with best-in-class performance and features to help you get the most out of your device.

Thanks sir. Will flash asap.
Features like now playing or long press power button to torch will be added?
Awesome - will flash tonight
Issues found and already reported as follows:
Google Camera continues to crash
System lock ups for a 1-3minutes
When sitting for a while, the fp icon appeared but unable to unlock the device. Power button wouldnt wake screen. After several minutes it resolved itself.
Battery drains speedily
Widget issues like battery widget didnt work well
System. lock issue and will unlock after several mins
I couldn't get the recovery or fastboot to take on any of the downloads. I couldnt' get the instructions above to work - thoughts?
Installed last night with some help from PixelFlasher - see how it goes today.
Ran for a full day - super super fast and slick!! Per the above, battery lastst about 9 hours total - lol my idle time as a 4% drain/hour - and 20ish % active use. But everything worked so once outta the beta stage I'll give it another go.
For now - back to stock + root + MVK
Does 5G work outside the supported regions if I install AOSPA?

I'd wait and see if any more releases come out. Its not daily driver ready. The issue is the rom sets everything to max and heats your phone up in minutes
