You would have to dig deeper to see which system services and apps would need to be disabled and repeat those steps after every update. The simplest solution would be to flash a custom ROM.
At mid to high frequencies, the large (cortex 7xx) cores will have the efficiency advantage. At low frequencies, the small cores will sip battery. But, that’s the tradeoff between performance and battery life. If you want a good battery life, have fewer large cores. The snapdragon 625 wasn’t considered a battery champ for no reason. That thing could last long.
The readme says licensed under Apache-2.0. The license itself allows modification and redistribution with some conditions. unless only parts of the source code are free. It should not be forbidden just because he says so. He does say image files may not be used unless for displaying shizuku. Regardless, it leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
Not to forget the moderation problem. You would effectively need to verify each video for bad stuff, copyright infringement, or risk getting sued for noncompliance.
Yeah, just a second ago. Probably, something to do with Firefox. Anyway, articles these days are becoming superficial. What could be said in a few words takes an entire paragraph for some reason. Writer’s skills are on a downward trend recently. Not liking it
It’s not unsafe. You have a version on playstore. Basically, it allows you to use privileged APIs which would need manually using ADB or root. Some of my apps like Darq, droid-ify, takostats, and lemmy-redirect use it perform actions like enabling link handling, performing app installation, applying force dark mode without requiring root, etc.
Here’s the description pulled from fdroid:
using system APIs directly with adb/root privileges from normal apps
When developing apps that requires root, the most common method is to run some commands in the su shell. For example, there is app uses pm enable/disable command to enable/disable components. This method has very big disadvantages:
• Extremely slow (Multiple process creation)
• Needs to process texts (Super unreliable)
• The possibility is limited to available commands
• Even if adb has sufficient permissions, the app requires root privileges to run
Shizuku uses a completely different way. The most important feature Shizuku provides is something like be a middle man to receive requests from the app, sent to the system server, and send back the results. To the app, it is almost identical to the use system APIs directly. But it’s much faster as it hooks into the system directly.
Qualcomm does list this chip for enterprise grade use and updates for multiple years to come on android. The block diagram has a box labelled security. If the chip was as insecure as people claim, it couldn’t be used for biometrics much, if at all.
Fairphone uses the latest snapdragon. Unless qualcomm messed up, their processors do support and have supported secure element for a while. What you probably meant was a dedicated secure element chip. That’s present on tensor but not on most other smartphones.
It takes a while for adaptive battery to kick (weeks). Especially, when you newly setup an android device. Same with adaptive brightness. Mine drains fast in active heavy use on 5G with motion smoothness set to high. I also have a dual sim model where one can be pulling the lowest signal strength from tower which can also affect battery drain.
Taking on the pixel 8 without actual software support or hardware features like expandable storage to back them up. Why would you not get the pixel 8, which would get 7 years of support and replacement parts, unlike Motorola. Not wise of the author to make the comparison to the pixel.
