I guess I'll wait until snoy releases Xperia 1 VII firmware thenNo point unlocking the bootloader for now
I never put a custom ROM in any of my phones
>>108924680I did twice, in both cases it got better. It is very likely that vendors have some backup channel to install their shit on your device, without the very formal and official process of "system updates" etc. It's otherwise hard to explain how official firmware gets so slow over time, when custom one is alright.
> there is a vulnerability on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 that allows unlocking the bootloader and eventually rootDownsides of getting the new shit instead of a trusty old hardware?
Anyone have a rec for a phone for SailfishOS? The model I got ended up being a locked carrier variant and apparently the support isn't all that good anyways.
The biggest issue with running custom roms is updates. There's no easy way to back everything up and update the system without serious risk of everything falling apart. I'd like a way to host an update server for GSI roms and install them OTA. Also a better way to backup the whole system, seedvault is an abomination that backs up like 20% of your data consistently. It doesn't even reinstall apps with your saved data like it advertises.

GrapheneOS is so nice but what can I do about the camera? Am I stuck with bad photos? It's okay if I am, I just see many people online saying to use broken apps or ones that have absolutely no difference from stock camera.
>>108928557What do ypu want to back up?
>>108931198The phone. Everything. I want to be able to factory reset it and restore everything to how it was at last backup. Apps, app data, home screen, texts, contacts, photos, remembered wifi/bluetooth devices, app settings, biometrics, as much as I can so I don't have to spend hours manually resetting everything.Seedvault will say something like 30/80 apps backed up and when you dig into it you'll see apps that aren't opened for x amount of time don't get backed up. Or they don't support data getting backed up it's just an apk of the app that gets saved with no data.Ideally I'd like to take pre/post snapshots of the phone with updates. So I can rollback to an EXACT state before the update, but asking for a CoW filesystem on android is a bit much. I'll settle for backups doing what they're supposed to do, save important data in a second location and be able to copy it back.
>>108931294WaitAll of that is gone after ypu update the ROM?
>>108931319No, if the update goes wrong for whatever reason you'll have to reinstall your old GSI image. Your userdata is ""probably"" safe but there's no guarantee when you're homebrewing Android. I trust a 1st party android update supplier like Samsung or whatever carrier you have that supplies updates, I don't really trust Pranjeet's pull request cobbled together from a bunch of separate patches on the xda forums.On my proxmox server I take a zfs snapshot of my container, update, reboot, and test. If anything comes out weird, rollback and all you've lost is 5 minutes of time. On android the risk is losing voicemails, texts, any 2fa app login tied to your phone and photos if you don't have backup plans for each one individually. That's a lot to lose and a lot of trust put in a random internet person.I hear samsung's backup/restore tool is good but I haven't used samsung since the s8. I also hear backup tools with rooted phones are a lot better. I run grapheneos which is vehemently against rooting, I'm tempted to drop them and install a pixel specific GSI I can root just so I can have solid backups.
>>108931412>>108931412>which is vehemently against rootingkek you can't make that shit up
>>108931513Technically I was wrong, they officially support root access over adb if you build and sign your own userdebug version of graphene. That also means building and signing the weekly updates yourself. Idk if that can be considered "official support" if you're building the damn thing yourself.I dug a little and it's because they're obsessed with verified boot which is the whole point of relocking the bootloader and doing their GPS custom build instead of using microg. Rooting defeats the whole purpose of verified boot which pretty much defeats the purpose of grapheneos. You might as well run Calyx or lineage. Which I'm heavily considering with how little progress has been made with seedvault in the last 4 years. I might just build my own graphene with ADB root, sign every future release, and Titanium backup my phone before each one. Unironically safer than running the grapheneos beta.
>>108922632how come lineageos supports redmi note 13 but not 12?
>>108931777Maybe model 12 was meh and did not sell as well. Guess what if no devs have it, nobody would port LineageOS to it.
>>108922632Arisu is getting adopted!That's right, she's my daughter now and none of you deranged faggots of this epstein website are allowed to touch her or even as much as think about her. Or else I will break your knees with a baseball bat. Ankles too.She's going to be safe. I actually have a perfect server room for her. She is going to have a healthy sleep thanks to all the cooler fan noise. And despite the fact that it has a window, it's plenty dark in there, with optional artificial light of "neutral cool" temperature. I think she will like it.>>108923872I'll be seizing that pony as well. I think Arisu likes ponies.>>108931734>That also means building and signing the weekly updates yourselfWho does that? Seriously, who?> I might just build my own graphene with ADB root, sign every future releaseOh...> You might as well run Calyx Is that a good idea to advice something like that? Last time I checked they had some internal disputes going on, people leaving, development stopping over one person etc.
How do you de-cuck a xiaomi in 2k26 without turning it into a useless brick?
>>108931966they also only support redmi note pro.and not regular redmi note.very weird
So when is graphene supporting motorola and which models?
>>108933099I believe the model is still tba and coming out next year.
good media player on a graphine pixel?
>>108933810I'd check if VLC is easy to build on your own.If so: check src, build -> forget about updootes for like 5 years.
>>108922632>Google coming in a close secondAll available data says that Android is now orders of magnitude worse. You have been living under a rock.
>>108922632I swapped from Graphene on Pixel to an iPhone and I couldn't be happier
>>108934265go on
>>108932057>Who does that? Seriously, who?It's a slippery slope. I already flash lineage on my tablet which isn't officially supported, >is it good adviceI'm not advising anything. I'm saying as nice as it would be to have root on android they're not wrong in saying it pretty much defeats the purpose of graphene. You won't be able to install banking apps for example because there's no verified boot. If I'm sacrificing half of the google play store to have root on my phone why even bother with graphene when you could use lineage or any other rom that also suffers from an unlocked bootloader? If you're ok with an unlocked bootloader why even get a pixel phone?
>>108933810>>108934093You don't use MPV?
>>108935984Honestly I don't trust it. There's an aura of trash around it. Like it might break and lag and require me to waste 10 hours to tweak configs and recompile a bunch kernels to make it work again etc.Never actually used it, since there's an abundance of that kind of software, always another alternative to try out.
>>108937863>it might break and lag and require me to waste 10 hours to tweak configs and recompile a bunch kernels to make it work againWutI just download it from f-droid and use it
>>108937880>go onEspecially like that. m8 I'm sorry to break it to you, but open source software is dangerous as fuck. You literally don't know who built that and published. Could be literal malware published using stolen documents of some random old Pakistani lady.I'd rather build myself or use some more or less trusted software. For example, I know VLC exists because company behind it uses it for their commercial shit. I have not checked on them, but at least they have a legend. I know why it exists and it's not to steal my shit.Why that obscure MPV build exists? Someone spent a 100 because they're very kind and generous and shit?
