He has also mentioned about the goodix fp fix too.
This is not possible on Mi A1 (AT Least using the method described in the link) because Mi A1 has stock Android, not MIUI. MIUI needs the cust partition. Unless someone reformats the interval drive entirely and makes a new partition layout then it's not possible.

Agree, we need to repartition our internal storage. Here's the guide for how to do that for previous Android One phones that were released in 2014 I think.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...uide-repartition-internal-storage-to-t3292159
According to this post when we shrink a partition, all the data inside it will be lost. Now what I think is that we could try shrinking userdata partition as its of ~51G. If we take out 1GB from it, we won't be loosing much space and also we won't be touching other partitions so they shouldn't get corrupted.
Why OEM didn't do it?
1. There was a high risk of phones getting bricked if they would've tried re-partitioning device via OTA (atleast that's what Nokia and OnePlus said).
2. And also according to Google's CTS, " The update mechanism used MUST support updates without wiping user data. That is, the update mechanism MUST preserve application private data and application shared data.
It can be done with out repartition.... we alread have A/B partition can use either of those pertion as a vender pertion maybe
I would like to keep the A/B partitions but I could sacrifice some of space from user data for this.
I don't actually think we as Mi A1 users need it çause we allready got android one so that's fast updates
Hello,
Aa seen in the picture, the system takes more than 13 G ! how come ?
is there a way to shrink it down ?
Yes, that's normal on A/B devices as the phone has two system, vendor, product, and boot partitions. You can't shrink it either because of the way the super partitions work and shouldn't need to anyway.

Bought this huawei tablet for my son I no its a pretty old tablet now but its still brand never been used really as you can't do much on it . I wanted to see if any one can help me root it so I can extend ram by using storage space . Its running 4.4.4 . Are is there any custom roms out there I can use could soon one please help with this thanks
Extending Android's internal storage memory by using an external SD-card is only possible on devices with Android 5 and higher and only if this feature is implemented in Android OS, too. Take note you never can extend tablet's RAM, unless you create a SWAP memory what requires device's Android is got rooted.
Hence you would have to find and flash a Custom ROM based on Android 5 and higher what at 100% is suitable to this tablet, what additionally requires you have to find and flash a Custom Recovery - what also is at 100% suitable to this tablet - before.

Hi
My first time here.
I've seen there is a forum specifically for this buy I'm not sure if my question should go there or here.
Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries
I have a Samsung J500FN with Android 6.0.1 and I'm looking for a custom ROM that can make it last a bit longer. Here are my requirements.
I don't want to root it as that will probably not allow me to use my banking app.
I need a ROM that does not have, or allows me to remove, all the bloat that comes from factory: word, excel, weather, powerpoint, chrome, facebook, samsung's internet, etc.
I've seen that some of the available ROMs come with Android 8, 9 and even 10 but I suspect these OSs take up a lot more space. If that is so I don't want them as my mobile only has 8 GB and I don't want to have to spend my days deleting cache, memory and apps.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Eduardo

chill bro,
1) for banking app like sbi uno and other use magisk. its open source and works well to hide root.
2) android 7 would be great for you because samsung switched to art in it and is a lot faster smooth and consume less space and is supported by most apps.
3) i know the pain of having 8gb rom so, try to use opera mini instated of chrome and try to optimise system by removing unnecessary software using root+magisk.
4) android 9 is also good. just flash try and see if its what you need.
thanks hit like if i helped.

IMHO LineageOS is the right choice for you.
How To Install Lineage OS 17.1 for Samsung Galaxy J (Android 10 Q)
Now you can install Lineage OS 17.1 on Samsung Galaxy J which is stable enough to use as a daily driver. Finally, Android 10 Q is official

I would like to try Android 7 if it's lighter then Android 6 but I prefer not to have root.
I've been reading that ING app doesn't work with magisk so I prefer not to struggle there.
Why doesn't my phone automatically update to Android 7, doesn't Samsung provide for this?
Where can I download a Android 7 ROM ?

Do you think that even if it's Android 10 it will be lighter than my present Android 6?
As I mentioned I don't want to root. I see that the link you included has a GAPPs installation so I guess the Lineage ROM comes without those.
I use OpenSuse linux so I would like to install from there, any problems?
Otherwise can I do it from a Windows 7 virtual machine?

It really doesn't matter whether it's Android 10 or Android 6 or whatever version what is running. As with any Android for each app a predefined heap size ( the maximum amount of RAM the app can allocate ) exists which is passed through configuration properties inside Android's build.prop file. Usually, heap size is relative to the RAM size of the Android device. So, an Android device with 1 GB of RAM will normally have a heap size of 128 MB and a device with 2+ GB RAM a heap size of 256 MB.
Assuming Android OS itself is eating 500 MB RAM to properly run, then on your phone can - at maximum - run up to 30 apps using 256 MB ( large-heap-size ) simultaneously.

Thanks for your reply.
What I meant by lighter refers to the scarce 8 Gb on my device, not the RAM. With only 8 Gb there is a very low limit to the amount of apps I can install. Maybe with Lineage there is more of those 8 Gb free.
And that takes me to the Gapps packages. When reading the link for Gapps it offers various packages and I'm a bit lost as to which I should download.
Open Gapps for LineageOS 17.1 GSI build: Download
Open Gapps for Android 10
ARM: Download Open Gapps 10 ARM Zip
ARM64: Download Open Gapps 10 ARM64 Zip
BiTGApps for Android 10 Custom ROM | Link
GApps for LineageOS 17 | Link

I've downloaded the Lineage ROM file and have a doubt about the name of the file and whether it's valid for my model. The name of the file is
lineage-17.1-20201213-UNOFFICIAL-js01lte.zip
What worries me is the "...js01lte" part.
My mobile is SM-J500FN, also "j5nlte"

ok, I think I'm almost ready to flash my first ever custom rom.
I've been reading to understand what I'm getting into.
One doubt. It seems that TWRP is capable of installing the custom rom without me telling it what partition it should be flashed to.
My question, if I want to flash a Samsung stock ROM can I also use TWRP or must I use Odin or Heimdall and flash it to the appropriate partition?
BR, Eduardo
Before I proceed
Installation instructions state "Then, select the System, Vendor, Data, and the Cache partition and perform a right swipe to format the selected partitions."
My device doesn't show the vendor partition.
Is it ok to proceed ?

Still insstalling? I think lineageOS is not the right solution for you. I got the same phone and made it work by disabling bloatware.
Hi Kurtin
from what I've learnt until now disabling bloatware doesn't free up any space, it just doesn't show but it's still there.
You need to see the partitions separately. The stock version of each app is stored in system partition. That is no problem. You can't use free space in system partition.
Our problem is data partition. Each enabled app will try to store it's data and updates in data partition. That makes the device unusable.
I think I understand what you mean and therefore installing a different ROM won't help unless it changes the partition setup.
Thanks for your support.

Installing a different ROM will help. Custom ROMs usually have less bloatware that occupies data partition for updates.
Same effect as disabling apps in stock ROM.
Hi
our exchange started when you stated "I think lineageOS is not the right solution for you. I got the same phone and made it work by disabling bloatware."
Can you propose a better custom ROM that addresses our needs or didn't you explore that track?

LineageOS 17.1 should be OK.
Hello
I will perhaps keep my S22U instead of upgrading to s23u , I will then most probably root it as my warranty will soon come to an end and I won't care about knox flag. But is there any AOSP based custom rom for the S22U snapdragon ? If yes can you use Expert Raw app?
The S22 should be capable of running Generic System Images, so if you would like to try running actual AOSP, check out my guide here. Nothing is customized as these are directly from AOSP, but that also means they have zero bloat.

I don't think so - I'm pretty sure features like that are not core Android mechanics, so they wouldn't be included in AOSP. I don't know for sure. Keep in mind that the whole idea behind a GSI - Generic System Image - is that it can run on pretty much any device. Google has been using this model since the Pixel 3 - instead of having different system builds for each device, they use a generic common system image, while device specific features are contained in other partitions such as /product. This way, when they provide the monthly update for Pixels, they don't have to completely rebuild the firmware; they can just use the AOSP GSI for the "core", and any device specific changes are separate in /system_ext and /product. It's a modular design that really helps streamline the update process; it also means that devices that no longer receive updates can still potentially run the latest AOSP core.
I imagine you could extract the product.img from the Pixel 7 factory zip and flash it to /product on your device, but because it's device specific, it most likely wouldn't work properly.
