I was wondering if there could ever be a Twrp Mod which could include a fully functional music player. that is, when you're trying to just be offline and you need to listen to some music, you could just boot to twrp and launch the music player and play some music.
It could be one alternative to a longer lasting battery without having to boot the whole system,
Everything runs from the recovery!
I'm not a developer anyway, but i think crazy sometimes.
what... no... that is just plain stupid... just boot to the os and use the phone like normal lmao.

Booting system , you get to run gaps, and radio and other background services which keeps system functional, in other words, it uses more battery.
But if it is possible to have a music player embedded in Twrp, you would spend less battery just listening to music.

Theoretically, yes.
But a good chunk of the services that are running are also doing things like managing power usage. TWRP has no need to care about that in general because it's not typically run for long periods of time - usually long enough to flash something or take a backup. The device may never go into deep sleep, or if it does, not consider mp3 decoding or audio buffers being empty to be a reason to wake up.
Turn on Do Not Disturb? Or put Airplane Mode on?
It would be very useful when I crash my rom and sit in a train ?

The slimmest ROM is still more than 250 MB which in general opinion, is not so slim.

Then hope to get another answer on this.. Don't get me wrong I'd also make use of such a thing but, either it doesn't exist or even if it exists, we don't know about that here. Else, it'd already get popular until nowaday.
We could draw this idea to the attention of some interested devs though!
Or maybe a secondary OS based on Linux that is less than 70mb for media only

I've often wondered why there are so few alternative projects to Android here, there are some phones for which full-fledged Linux distributions are created or small alternative linux systems but I don't know any "professional" and active maintained project.
Over the years, I have accumulated some cell phones and one way to make them to a pure "media device" would be great. Something like Kodi as a second system would be great!

FYI, some OEM recoveries like Huawei eRecovery can even connect to wifi to download roms.They added wifi support to recovery , maybe audio services are also possible.

Enable power saver and airplane mode. U can use your device for playing music for many hours.

So that's why iPods were invented. I'm pretty sure they were Gapps-less. :laugh:
Arm based Linux varients containing media solutions with minimal footprint along with dual boot treble supported twrp and a lots of prayers might help. :silly:
That would be pretty cool since devices are getting the new A/B partition scheme, imagine having your OS on A and on B the low power OS.

Hi there,
Up until a few weeks ago, I was an iPhone user, but never really enjoyed it that much. I got myself a SGS2 with Telstra, so far network and phone have been alright. Downloads at around 8.6MB consistently.
My phone specs are as follows:
Model: GT-I8100T
Version: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9100TDVKF2
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100TDVKF4-CL301812 [email protected] #2
Build number: Gingerbread.DVKF4
1)
I am new to all this and would like to understand more about what all the above actually means. Does anyone have a tutorial or link explaining it all?
2)
I have heard about "rooting" your phone. Can someone either tell me or direct me to somewhere that can outline what rooting is, why someone would do it and what are its advantages and disadvantages?
3)
There are things about this phone I cannot stand:
The browser always crashes (so I have replaced with with Dolphin HD).
You cant turn of Camera snapshot sound.
When ever i unplug earphones and plug them back in the media volume automatically decreases.
The stock media player does a terrible job at being good, moved to winamp (are there any better ones, perhaps a rip of the iphone music player?).
Battery Life is terrible (if I use GPS guidance, phone would be lucky to last a day).
I find that the phone takes a long time to "load media from sd card" is that normal? (I have a class 4 mini sd 32gb).
Last of all, Facebook for android runs terribly on this phone. Can't upload photos, or even view my own. I can't work out why. Tried reinstalling.
I thank you in advance for any help or links you can provide me with.
Cheers.

I can't say I ever noticed the stock Samsung browser crashing on my device.
If you are rooted, you can permanently disable the camera noise by renaming the shutter sound ogg file in /system/media/audio/ui. Rename it to .ogg.bak and it should stop the noise.
I liked the stock media player but there are other popular music players like PowerAmp. Or even the music player from the MIUI ROM.
Welcome to smart phones. Battery life sucks. Get the official extended battery, root the phone, remove some bloat, install a custom kernel like SpeedMod. Also check Kies to see if your carrier has released an update for your phone. Android 2.3.3 is old and not very battery friendly.
I have a class 10 SD card and it doesn't take long to load at all.
Facebook for Android has always sucked but I have never had any problem with photos.

Thanks for the replies, been reading up a lot the last couple of hours.
Just a few questions for you:
1)
What exactly constitutes "bloat"? My phone comes with a few Telstra (my provider) apps like news bulletins, navigon (with free maps in AUS), but are there processors behind the scenes that I can't see that really slow it down that much?
2)
When you say "install a custom Kernal" I am not sure I understand entirely. I read the thread posted above, but is installing a different kernel the same as installing a new ROM? Do some ROMS include different Kernels? Do I need a new/different rom (from the stock) in order to install new kernels? Please explain in basic terms. I am guessing I need to root the phone in order to install kernels. By installing kernels, am I losing anything on my phone?
Thanks.

Consider rooting as jailbreak. Normally you don't have root access privileges on OS. But some programs or you yourself need to have root access to change something on OS.

Unlike iOS, android supports various hardwares, phones, tablets etc. iOS supports only the hardware used by apple. Therefore all unnecessary code has been pulled off from kernel and OS. That's why it feels faster and battery friendly.
In android there are some tricks to save your battery. Be patient and keep reading the forum, you'll learn in time

For starters, you could put the phone in airplane mode.
A little bit more work: root and freeze or remove all the Apps you don't want/need. Particularly bloatware and other apps that include a service, things that auto-run on start.

well airplane mode would knock out wifi as well, but yes, some ROM's allow you to just turn off the data connection. you'd obviously do well to start with a clean rom is possible instead of stock. but i was hoping someone'd started a little more of a complete solution.

I can see why you might want wifi for downloads or data transfer, but of course that’s not what you asked for (“just for media playback”)
I'm pretty sure there are easy ways to turn off data and phone radios without turning off wifi.
I think you just turn airplane mode on first and then turn wifi on after that.
I just tried it and it seems to work on my phone (afterwards I could access internet via wifi but my phone dialer wouldn't dial out)
If for some reason that doesn't work for you, google airplane mode wifi tool

I haven’t heard of custom roms designed to reduce the capabilities of the phone.
But if that's what you've got your mind set on, go for it. It doesn't hurt to ask.

I am wondering the same thing. I have AT&T's first Android, the Backflip.... that I use as an mp3 player (an expensive one.. lol) and it is running the CM7 rom. I would love to wipe it and have a simple interface that is purely an mp3 player as you said. Putting it in airplane mode, shutting off 3g, deleting bloatware (if ur running stock) are all great ideas.... but I have CM7 stripped down to the bare (no Gapps, no accounts ,etc) and I STILL would like to turn it into a pure stand alone mp3 player with ext memory and amazing battery life. The phone is small (unless you flip it open) so it would be great for it! Was hoping maybe someone got bored since the last reply on here and came up with something. It "seems" like it would be fairly easy since there isn't much to create.... but to have the phone "boot" into just an mp3 UI does actually sound kind of complicated from my small knowledge of Android.
P.S. I have upgraded 5 or 6 times for myself and everyone in my group, so this Backflip serves no "phone" purpose. Would be perfect..
Very interesting idea. Would like to know info on this as well. I've been thinking how to repurpose my old cell phones and this could work.

Not a ROM, But a good solution,
Hey guys. So, It's not a specific ROM for mp3 player-ness, But here's what I did with CM7 on my HTC Evo 4G
- Downloaded a media player app with a full screen widget (PlayerPro or WinAmp should od the trick)
- Set the 4x4 widget as my homescreen, and eliminate the rest of the screens.
- Remove lockscreen and security (or you can use WidgetLocker and put a smaller widget as your lock screen)
- I remapped my 4 Froyo Android buttons (Home, Back, Menu, Search) as MP3 player centric buttons. (pause, play, forward, backward, mute, etc... you can do whatever you want) using ButtonRemapper.
- To top it all off, I use Juice Defender to kill network connectivity, cell connectivity, etc... I purchased the Ultimate version for complete root access features. I keep wifi and bluetooth available for stuff (like connecting to by bluetooth stereo)
So, yeah. Battery still isn't amazing, but it is better. And I don't think there's a ton that can be done about that, the screen is, and will always be, the juice hog. even though it's not a dedicated rom, it works pretty well. I'm lucky that the EVO has such a huge developement community. If you have a less popular phone, you might be SOL with some of these features.
Hope this helps a little. I'm not really a developer, I just love finding new, interesting ways of customizing my phones
I started a how to on this ..
check out my forum post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644588 it's pretty much what your original question was about.
Hello folks,
I'm not getting push notifications on my phone, i use Whatsapp for messaging and calls and it works but when the screen turns off for a long time the app gets killed or something and i don't get messages nor calls through Whatsapp, until i wake up the phone and launch the app. That's when i get all the notifications and missed calls.
Things i've tried:
Changing the phone to performance mode
Protecting the app from closing when screen turns off
Leaving the app open and locked sliding down on the recent apps tab
Reinstalling and updating the app
I don't know what else to do this is driving me crazy. I was planning to stay with the stock Android but all these weird configurations make me consider going with Cyanogenmod if i can't fix it.
Going to CyanogenMod is a good decision. EMUI has problems in handling whatsapp notifications, which they say will be fixed by OS updates.
The problem of killing apps remains in EMUI till now. EMUI says killing apps is good for RAM management. But they should give more idle time for the app before killing it. You could have seen the reviews everywhere that the RAM management is not good in EMUI. Its default behaviour. You cant change it.

Damn that's pretty bad and should have been fixed by now.
i regret buying this phone if i'm forced to install a custom ROM to make something basic work.
Also the EMUI interface is disgusting so i guess i'll be installing Cyanogenmod anyways. The stock Android interface is much nicer.
Do i just flash the ROM and gapps from my SD card or there's something else i should do? Unlock bootloader or something like that?

Sorry for the offtopic but is there a way to back up the stock Android in case i need to go back?
You can always adjust the minfree values using several apps.
I think it has nothing to do with RAM, because it kills the app even if there's nothing else running.

Hey.
This has been happening for a while, at first with Lineage OS (the last Oreo build before they stopped development), my phone had random shutdowns, GCam lagged a ton, demanding apps like Games or Photo editors (Cytus 2 or Snapseed for example) just didn't work right, they froze for a full 5 seconds, Social Network apps didn't work right either, I had to use Lite versions of their apps to make it less stressful to use.
I got back to MIUI but with Xiaomi.eu's ROM and I loved it, but it had some problems too, and I really hated that I wasn't able to experience newer androids, and I missed GCam a lot, so I went and Installed Pixel Experience, and it was laggy too, nearly unusable in every situation, it freezes at most of the apps I tried and it didn't work really well. Finally, I'm with Havoc OS, and I love it, but is UNUSABLE outside of a Wi-Fi network, when outside it doesn't just lags, it freezes, does random reboots, and also my headphone jack doesn't work so I can't even listen to music while having the phone on my pocket, it just does a blank noise when tapping some buttons.
I'm sick of my phone being too slow with every custom rom that I install, and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, of I have some strange firmware or whatever it is, I don't know.
I have TWRP updated, I installed every rom on a clean state, wiping everything.
My phone is a kenzo 2GB variant.
Please help me, I really want to listen to music while browsing Instagram again, now I can't even do one of these things..

Hey mate. Try this Lineage OS 14 https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-lineage-os-t3877377/
I also have 2GB variant of RN3Pro and I also tried so many roms that promise speed. But to be honest everything past Nougat is unusable. The combination of Google service eating tons of rams and the OS itself taking more space in your ram ended up costing a lot of performance.
That Lineage OS 14 is the current best for me, it supported a lot of new features (splitscreen, better GCam) while remains low in RAM usage. Good SOT too, still managed to squeze 5+ hours of SOT (but that's probably because my Radon kernel setting).

Pie getting 6+ of SOT very easily. I m using Crdroid with shadow. Now dev has provided xcrima and shadow kernel with default enabled 500mb + zram for 2gb ram. So its relief.
I was having the same issue, every rom didn't had a near good experience of use for me, so I started searching and I've found microg, which is an alternative for google apps, but using much less ram.
So what I did was installing nanodroid-microg, and one of the stores that comes with the package(in my case, Yalp Store, but according to their wiki, you can install google playstore also.), Now I have about 1gb ram free (I'm also using AppOps to block some app permissions like wake lock, run in background etc.), but I had some problems so I will show you what I did to install it and make it fully work.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928
Firstly you have to download two of their stable release packages, one is nanodroid-setupwizard and the other is the nanodroid-microg.
Then you will flash the rom you want, the kernel you want, magisk and finally both packages, first the setupwizard, then the microg package.
There's no secret when flashing setupwizard, it's a aroma package which will give you steps to choose what you want to install, I remember choosing swype libraries, microg (of course), Yalp Store (with fakestore), Google Map API and UnifiedNlp location backends (Mozilla and Deja'vu)
After that, just flash nanodroid-microg and then follow the tuturial below starting from step 15
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-microg-oneplus-6-source-ligthway-t3874469
Obs: at step 25: if your push notification tester app show you a error related to incompatibility or unavailability of google play services, you probably need to enable signature spoofing on FakeStore like I had to, I'm using aex 7.1 rom so I don't know if the steps will be the same for you but what I did was: go to settings > apps > tap setting button on the top right corner > app permission > signature spoofing > tap three dots on the top right corner > show system > then enable FakeStore. After that try step 25 again and proceed.
I hope it helps you or anybody reading this which choose to install it. Enjoy and I'm sorry for any grammar mistakes.
Your best bet at speed is an old nougat ROM and a swap memory. Format ur internal storage before flashing.
I've installed aosp pie on 3gb and it's very good. Maybe 1gb ram does make a big difference. Choose light os like lineage or Nexus

This has been happening for a while, at first with Lineage OS (the last Oreo build before they stopped development), my phone had random shutdowns, GCam lagged a ton, demanding apps like Games or Photo editors (Cytus 2 or Snapseed for example) just didn't work right, they froze for a full 5 seconds, Social Network apps didn't work right either, I had to use Lite versions of their apps to make it less stressful to use.
I got back to MIUI but with Xiaomi.eu's ROM and I loved it, but it had some problems too, and I really hated that I wasn't able to experience newer androids, and I missed GCam a lot, so I went and Installed Pixel Experience, and it was laggy too, nearly unusable in every situation, it freezes at most of the apps I tried and it didn't work really well. Finally, I'm with Havoc OS, and I love it, but is UNUSABLE outside of a Wi-Fi network, when outside it doesn't just lags, it freezes, does random reboots, and also my headphone jack doesn't work so I can't even listen to music while having the phone on my pocket, it just does a blank noise when tapping some buttons.
I'm sick of my phone being too slow with every custom rom that I install, and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, of I have some strange firmware or whatever it is, I don't know.
I have TWRP updated, I installed every rom on a clean state, wiping everything.
My phone is a kenzo 2GB variant.
Please help me, I really want to listen to music while browsing Instagram again, now I can't even do one of these things..

If you want to stay on pie. Try ArrowOs pie. It's the most smooth pie ROM I found for my 2gb rn3p. However the ROM is no longer being updated.
Hey!
I've been using this application for a very long time now but I'm just interested into knowing a couple of things like what couple of options mean in practice.
Of course the best way would be to try them yourself but I have over 400 application so I guess it wouldn't really be that easy so that's the reason why I'm asking. I have just realized that there is an option to ignore the running state and I see that it has improved my phone's performance for like 50% for sure.
What do other options do like disabling long running service or hibernation mode?
I can tell you that I don't really care about anything else other than performance so should be fine for me to enable these options for every single application?
Thank you for reading!
What device and OS? Rooted, custom rom?

S9 Plus running Noble ROM on Android 11.
hey,
well im not familiar with that ROM but right off the bat, u should see some performance improvements by using an "app manager" or "auto start" manager to curb the ram used by autostarting apps on your phone which sounds like the option ur describing, perhaps a tweak on ur cus rom. Next i would use something like Greenify with root access to hibernate or kill both user and some system apps that kill alot of battery and memory.
Using a global adblocking app on a rooted phone maybe another good idea and u can check out some posts on playing with your "host file"...
if ur die hard performance junkie...u can look into swapping kernels and such if its available. If you get into overclocking always watch your temp. Also all this is a very good way to brick ur phone or cause hardware failure, be careful, be warned, read lots, do once.
Hope this helps a lil bit atleast...
What about cutting " wakeup paths"?
I see they can make problem sometimes. I have ended up in bootloop couple of times so I just wanted to see what does this option do in practice? Will the change be written in data or system partition?
