I know all of that but I don't wanna keep 2 browsers in my app drawer, that's why I asked.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Does Touchwiz not have the option to hide apps from the drawer anymore? They used to, but I haven't owned a Sammy for almost 5yrs now. My sister's S5 does I think. My HTC 10 has that option, but my Pixel 2XL doesn't.

How do I get the xda-developers website to remeber my credentials keep me logged in?

I use Chrome on my Windows 10 PC and have selected the "remember me" option when logging in, yet each time I close and reopen Chrome I have to log-in again. I have cleared all cookies for xda and even cleared all Chrome data, uninstalled Chrome and reinstalled. This is quite frustrating.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you just wanna hide Chrome app from your app drawer maybe updating your TouchWiz launcher you can do that; I use v6.1.02 and has this option. (I´m on nougat 7.0)

But if you want to uninstall it assuming that Chrome is a system app and you are not rooted you can download adb, enable USB debugging in your android, connect to pc and type first adb devices , allow connection prompted in device and next type in your pc this code (or copy-paste this): adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome

So wait, there's no way I can create my own rom, is there any other possible way I can fix this wifi issue?

Edit-Oh, also, what exactly do you mean by, "If it had the wifi issue before" if you meant before I flashed the rom, that would be a no, the wifi issue started after flashing the rom.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
You can look for the kernel source and try to build an aosp based rom. If it is available. Other then that. (Cant even say that will work. Depending on the hardware.) no there is no fixing it. When it comes to devices, you get what you pay for. A cheap device will always suffer from some sort of issues.

[General Questions and Answers] Mr Robbot:
Hey guys, greetings from Brazil (that also means that my English is not that good, so please forgive me haha).

I have two questions for now, hope you can help me out.

The first one is related to security: I've decided to start using internet banking on my phone. I've been using custom ROMs and downloading apps from unverified websites for a while, is there something I can do to ensure that my phone is free of malwares? Should I worry about this, since I'll have not only my credit card added to the play store but I'll also have my bank's app installed?

I'm also having issues with the images downloaded from the Facebook app. I've always been able to backup them to Google Photos immediately after I downloaded them, but now the Facebook folder isn't available neither on Google photos nor when I'm trying to send images through WhatsApp for example. I can find it using my file explorer though. I've already tried to install another rom and this is still happening. Any idea what it could be? :/

Thanks for now, have a great weekend!
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Well I'll be honest. If you are using custom roms then security is not really a big deal.

Fb changed where it stores photos due to complaints from people having their photos downloaded. They are working on making it so you can't download them at, all.
[General Questions and Answers] Mr Robbot:
I shouldn't worry about security then?

And about this Facebook thing, is there a way to work around it?
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Think about it this way. You are running a rom that some random person on the internet made and unless you are going over the source code line by line then you have no idea what it is doing. So worrying about security is a mute point.

As for Facebook. I don't know. I seldom use it myself and no one I know really uses it outside of my parents and children.

Home screen links

I like to add browser links to my home screen. But I'm now on Oreo 8.1, still using Chrome beta, which the links were created with. But the links no longer work. I get an error message that says "app is not installed" but the app is installed.

If you look at the pic, the icon showing Chrome Beta looks different. If it matters the icons on the right are the old link I created. On the left the new ones. Any thoughts or suggestions to fix this so I don't have to redo all these links?

Messed up something with note 3

I 've looked everywhere and tried everything and I still can't solve the issue

Tl;Dr phone won't connect to internet after I messed with something in the etc folder and I factory restored my phone to try and remedy it and I still can't connect.

I couldn't connect to the okay store or anything after rooting my note 3 and I downloaded root explorer on it to try to delete the hosts thing and I press the wrong thing or something and my phone is stuck on obtaining IP address. So I factory reset it and it's still doing the same thing. I tried setting a static IP and it says it's connected but it won't load any pages. Any solutions or did I ruin

my phone?
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
You will have to reflash your device. Factory resetting it doesn't touch the system partition. If you change something there then the only way to fix it is with a back up or a reflash.

Be more careful or next time you might brick it for good

How do i reflash note 3

I'm kinda confused in what to do. Do I just load the stock firmware on odin? Does that reset everything? I just need to get back to stock so I can actually connect to the internet
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you still have a custom recovery go first there and wipe absolutely all including your internal and external sdcard (if you use one), saving first all important things obviously; then download your proper stock firmware in Odin and flash it in download mode, this will restore your initial status.
[General Questions and Answers] Batg:
I don't think I have a custom recovery but I am downloading a stock firmware. Can you clear up what custom recovery is exactly. Sorry I'm am ultra noob
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
If you never flashed a custom recovery or rom no worry about that.

Just like other users told you download your proper rom and check AP box in Odin, go to download mode your device and just flash it, this will have to solve the issue.

If you are missing some step/s feel free to ask
[General Questions and Answers] tetakpatak:
Hey, don't worry. As [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] told you, probabaly is best to flash stock firmware woth Odin. Check my newbie-guide for the Galaxy S1 for going back to stock. You will understand the process what happens then. The guide is meanwhile few years old, but the procedure is quite identic like for the Note 3, just use the newer Odin version (probably v3.09 or later) and a full stock firmware released exactly for your model. The rest is still up to date. You will also want to do some data backups before flashing. It won't wipe your files on the /sdcard, but all not pre-installed apps, contacts etc will be gone, so sync or save elswhere your data. A good advice for the next time is before starting any mods to backup a whole device with custom recovery. Then you can restore your whole device on one click later, if anything goes wrong, like right now.

Browsers

Is there not 1 browser like the orfox browser only without tor? Not to say I don't use tor but I don't wish to use everytime. All other browsers you either need all the plugins (which I believe was stated as dangerous in itself) or you end up giving something else up. I would like to see a browser where webrtc javascript cookies and any other security flaw could be disabled or off like orfox. And no backdoor to home would be just as great. It would seem that no browser can truly be just a secure private browser. Everywhere I look there's someone stouting the latest and then you find out it just wasn't as secure or private as you read.

Anyone know of a truly secure private browser.

Last browser I tried was Frost. Webrtc enabled? Can't tweak to turn off.

It's always just the small things or that 1 thing that kills the perfection.

Thanks

Not that I am aware of. I used Orfox myself and if you want privacy then Orfox through Tor is the way to go. If you don't care about security at that particular time then the options are aplenty.

Any good phones recently ? Some of the features I do want are just water proofing and good development on it, Oneplus seems really nice but no water proofing and they are still quite expensive for second hands. I want to try the LG G6 and V20 but their track record with phones haven't been very good with the Nexus 5X and LG G4 with bootloop problems. If it really comes down to not having water proof I would be fine really, just an added feature. And preferably phones within 1-2 years of release, not too old flagships maybe ? Thanks a ton.

If you removed or disabled the system packages responsible for your phones internet browsing capabilities, it would most likely cause all of the problems you seem to be having. Check if you have Android System WebView (com.google.android.webview) and HTML Viewer (com.android.htmlviewer) and (com.sec.android.app.sbrowser) still installed and working properly on your device. Chances are, you erased the sbrowser package by accident and now your device is unable to use the internet at all.

I hate the way HTC locks down the android devices. Bootliader is fine, but that **** mechanism of 'S-ON' irritates me. I can not touch the system apps. Whenever I try to remove apps (system) apps my device gets restarted and the stubborn apps stay on( I wanted to remove instagram, Google play movies, Hangouts). To add to my worry, I came to know the truth that my device cannot be made 'S-Off', at least for the time being('Sunshine' app says my device HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle, dgdugl software version is not currently supported). I can not go for 'Xtc2 clip' method as it is exorbitantly high priced( Around Rs 8000 in Indian rupees). Should I lose hope? Or, is there a way?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
If you are rooted you should be able to remove system apps. S-Off shouldn't be necessary.

Unlocking your bootloader gives you r/w access to the partition needed to do that (/system), so you might be doing something wrong.

Using TiBu is the easiest way to get rid of them

There are a lot of devices with this chipset, a simple search "root mt6753" throws many results https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=root+MT6753&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

An usual way to root is install a custom recovery and flash supersu v2.82 or Magisk v14.1. or v15.3 that is the latest through recovery and inmediately do the first reboot to recovery before device boots again to prevent overwrite it with stock recovery.

Assuming that yet there isn´t a custom recovery, (I never tried this method) here is a simple guide to root with Magisk https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

This should be the method for your specific device: (I copied some assertion from this thread)

- Download magisk.apk not the zip.

- Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file

- Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]

- Rename this boot patched to simply boot (if is a .tar decompress and you have to get an image file) put in a folder this boot file and your scatter.txt from your original rom and flash it through SPFlashTool v5,1728

BK Package Disabled Problem

So I'm a little new to the whole xda forums scene here, but I'm decently technologically inclined. I have been using the BK Package Disabler app for quite some time now with HUGE success on my non- rooted Galaxy J3. The problem that I'm having now is due to some recent changes I've made in my list of disabled system packages, and choosing to be more aggressive.. I must have disabled a few things that are essential for my phone's launcher (TouchWiz Home) to run properly, because ever since I restarted my phone it's been stuck in a crash loop! The other preloaded launchers that come stock from Samsung have also been disabled prior to this problem arising, leaving only the TouchWiz Home launcher enabled as my default. I'm not exactly sure what to do to fix this or how I should even go about trying to fix it, if anyone here has some suggestions?? Is there a way to make the Disabler app revert back to a previous xml list? Or just remotely make the app re- enable all packages? I can't seem to open or access any other apps or files that could potentially help due to the launcher continuously crashing the second after I close the dialog box each time telling me that TouchWiz has crashed!! I would prefer NOT to do a hard factory reset!! (no one wants to have to resetup their entire phone) and from what I've gathered in searches it seems like any reset wouldn't fix my problem anyway!

Here's some essential background info about my phone and current situation: Model# SM- J327p (2016, Boost Mobile) Android 6.0.1 Kernel 3.18.24- 12677450

The usb port on that phone is fried, completely doesn't work. I happen to have a galaxy on5 as a backup which uses the same battery, so this is how I've been charging my phone since it broke months ago. This creates some SERIOUS limitations on what I'm capable of doing to my device; can't connect with a PC, cannot establish ANY adb debugging connection, cannot instal twrp or setup root access, etc... This gives me some pretty unique challenges to try to overcome, which I think now are finally all coming to a head to bite me in the ass!!

Please, Ill take ANY suggestions and if anyone can help me address this issue I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Thanks
