  • Based on some quick research into this, the windows are likely jumping sizes because of something like a stuck key, a shortcut, the hot‑corner, the graphics driver, or the compositor being triggered unintentionally. I’d say you should first test for any stuck keys that could be the cause (IE: Super, Alt + F10/Space) with xev – multiple events = sticky key. Or you could just plug in an external keyboard and if it stops, the built‑in keyboard is at fault.

    If stuck keys aren’t the issue, try turning off hot corners + window tiling in the settings, then restart the device. If it’s still happening after this, checking that you’re using the correct graphics driver would be the move. You can run inxi -Gx to adjust the driver.

    If none of this fixes the issue, peep the recent updates in /var/log/apt/history.log for any packages which were recently updated that could cause the problem. You could also make a fresh user account to see if the problem is system‑wide or confined to your config. Once you find and correct the trigger, the flickering and whatnot will stop, you just have to figure out what’s causing it.




  • After unlocking OEM, you need to go to samsung’s dev website and sign in with a samsung account to find the instructions for unlocking the A25 bootloader. This usually just involves downloading a file to run on your computer with the phone plugged in, but some samsung phones have different steps depending on it’s specific software version.

    Once the bootloader is unlocked, reboot the phone into download mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power as soon as it restarts.

    Next, download, install, and launch Odin. In Odin, select the AP tab and load the ROM of your choice, then flash the phone. After this is done, disconnect and reboot the phone. From here you should be good to go with the new OS on your A25.
