RE: Potato Phones 101: Safe Mode

in #technology6 years ago

Samsung phones have tons of bloat. Seriously.
Stares at my Maths teacher's S4 with 8GB out of 16GB storage taken for system processes and apps.

Huawei's older models can still access to Safe Mode (proven with my mum's old P7). Not sure they made newer models had Safe Mode available in them, even if it exist, you need another way to get in (my sister's Mi 4i for example).

Honestly I'm planning to root up my potato since the warranty is anyway voided but I may lost access to Pokemon GO so that's why I'm still letting my potato to potato on

Speaking of rooting, I read a random GitHub post that you can alter read/write speed of the SD card which the settings is just in the root directory of the phone. In case I can't hold the potatoness of my phone perhaps I'll just root it up

The Emulator Master Race role... Hmm... I admit that I had quite a while not playing TOS on my computer thanks to Madhead's potato login system. My emulator is mostly on Crash Fever and some random apps for testing and experimental purposes for now. In case Madhead decided to have their login system something like Crash Fever (does not force log out unless 2 devices opens the same account in the same time), I'm considering using my computer for TOS streaming perhaps.

Sorry for the late reply though. :nom:

Nom.

Probably there's another way for my Nova 2i to go into it then, but whatever it's not like I would use it some day in the near future lul.

You can root your phone and retain access to Pokemon GO...you need a systemless root known as Magisk root (Magic Mask, get it?). It's the kind of root that does not alter the system partitions and can hide itself pretty well from all detecting methods used by PoGO. I was used to have that on my older phone too, but when it goes wrong it's just a pain in the ass to fix...yea.

How do you even PoGO on a 1GB RAM phone

Well, I have Nox on my laptop as well as CF on it, but is just too busy to even livestream it (I definitely won't tell you how much time I spend on MapleStory, yes I won't tell you. Kappa). Initially I installed it to run auto mode on it while writing posts or something like that, but it turns out that 4GB RAM is just a little too poor for me to do that xD.

Online in Discord = Online in Maple Story. My daily observation.

Get into Safe Mode for Huawei Nova 2i (yes, no root needed):-

  1. Restart as usual.
  2. Hold the Volume Down button when the first Huawei logo is shown up during restart.
  3. Voila. Safe Mode here you go.

Your phone is too beefy to be a potato. Oh wait this is how my sister's phone get into Safe Mode

Oh, Niantic mentioned once that the minimum requirements for Pokemon GO is 2GB while my phone here slams all 5* raids with friends together. My phone raids the gym like crushing ants lul

I just read about Magisk. Wow that's something nice but I need a device to test before I get this to my phone. Walls of text detected Anyway thanks for the suggestion. :nom:

Probably I should just add MapleStory to my startup list because why not

Safe mode on my phone eh...I don't think I really need it for the moment, but will keep that in mind just in case I really need it one day. I don't really care how non-potato my phone is - I kinda used it like a potato anyways lmao. Thanks for the info on safe mode :nom:

In fact, the PoGO app only takes about 500MB of RAM at most hehe. The 2GB is written there so they don't have to deal with stuff saying "why my phone can't run this game" when someone attempts to run it on a phone like yours. In safe mode, your phone should have more than enough free RAM to run PoGO so of course there will be no issues lul. But if you can indeed run PoGO smoothly your GPU should be pretty good too...wew.

Now I guess you baited me to PoGO. Resisting urge.
