Has anyone figured out what to freeze/delete to get rid of the "check back cover/battery door" messages that happen on every reboot/charge?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] csfile:
Don't know if something can be frozen to achieve this, but I use an xposed module called xposed g-touchwiz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cerobles1:
Where did you get it from?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] zounduser:
I accidentally uninstalled AT&T system updates app. I meant to hit freeze, but it was too late. I kept getting notified of a update, and it was annoying as hell!

Anyways it said failed, but I'm not getting the update notification anymore, and rom toolbox pro also doesn't see it. So what now? Lol. Does it matter? I don't care about getting updates btw.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] csfile:

or just search in the xposed installer app downloads section

I did the same thing uninstalled all of the ATT bloat including the software updater, I don't think it should be a problem in the future...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdock:
Is it just this one for you? I can't get TiBu to freeze anything on my GS5 for some reason (it takes a long time and says it's successful, but it doesn't actually get frozen). I've been using Android Tuner for my freezing needs until I can figure that out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cerobles1:
It almost sounds like you are running ART. If you are, switch to Dalvik, issue should be gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] volktru:
Same happened here. Where would one find a 900a zip to download?

the list is current and up to date?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdock:
From looking at logs that was what I was thinking the issue was, but I haven't wanted to take the time to switch back and I want to stay with ART going forward anyway, since this is really the only issue with it I've seen (and there are workarounds).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rbedell:
search the modules in the app you use to install exposed modules. it's under modules.

Just realized it had been answered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] surf1:
Anyone know which app to freeze/delete that causes the "samsung security notice" popup update thing all the time in the notification center? I've frozen or deleted everything I don't need and know, but still got that pop up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cerobles1:
You mind posting a screenshot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] surf1:
it hasn't popped up yet, go figure lol. Usually at least once or twice a day I got it, would say something like "samsung security policy" and when you clicked on it, it wanted you to agree blah blah blah, I would just always ignore it. I'l take a snap shot whenever it decides to pop up again :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jaspah:
Tap and hold on the notification until 'App Info' appears. Tap that, it will take you to the app in the app manager. It will show the app name there, too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] fr4c:
You can freeze it using TiBu, its called "Security policy updates SPD_v2_1402_2_1".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spanky310:
Finally I figured out why my S5 is showing Device Status: Custom.

It happened after I froze a few app and I finally figured that it's the: AT&T Software UpdateV44_2_1402_5_1

Once I unfroze the the device status went back to Official and it went right back to Custom after I refreeze the update software.

I was trying to stop my phone from getting auto OTA update from ATT, is that the right one to freeze?

Thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] XMYUKON:
I had this problem and solved it by clicking the notification, hitting accept to enable it, then once you do that it will take you to a page where you can just disable auto updates and it hasn't come back for a week in my case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Todd727:
I have AT&T Software UpdateV44_2_1402_5_1 frozen and don't have the custom padlock.

Interestingly, I had the custom padlock on my first root but did a factory reset because I messed up a file while editing. In that case, I didn't have AT&T Software UpdateV44_2_1402_5_1 frozen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LoSt180:
I had that frozen about 15 minutes after root. I never got the custom padlock until a few days later when I ran the SD card fix from the Play store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Todd727:
I didn't get it with SDFix, but there are evidently so many ways this can get triggered. One guy said he has it for a while and then it disappears, only to reappear later. :confused: The definitive fix is to lay your phone face down during reboot. :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cerobles1:
Yep, out of sight out of mind. Fo'sho
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Longcat14:
Pretty much haha.

I've modified so many files, done so much stuff, yet the only time I actually had it show Custom was when I installed Pandora and rebooted

Apparently ANYTHING can try it.

Here's the stuff I've disabled so far (without any adverse effects).

I've also disabled all CiQ traces in Android System using system tuner, converted google play services to a user app so it doesn't suck up battery, and a few more things I can't seem to remember ATM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] elliwigy:
theres a few updaters.. you have spdclient or somethin and sdm i believe etc.. renaming it however just leaves unnecessary storage bein used.. only time i "freeze" something is if im unsure if freezing will break it or if i plan on usin it at some point

I did everything from OP first page plus some...except I kept mail and exchange and Chrome cuz i use them.

Everything is working fine even after several reboots that I did to set up my Exposed Framework modules.

No More HOME BUTTON WAKE and then Start Dialing 911 or whatever in my pants issues!!!

No more "close usb cover" pop up! Ahhhh...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdock:
Freezing an app hides it (from normal use) and disables it. Deleting it.... deletes it.

Freezing is "good enough" to disable any junk you don't want, but it stays present on the phone and some people don't like unneeded stuff taking up space, or showing up in their list of apps in titanium backup and the like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
To add: It is a good idea to freeze than delete. Atleast you would have a copy for when you need. Deleting system apps does not provide for user usable space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] doluqu:
Actually remove all of these or just freeze?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AnarchoXen:
It is up to you. The post above explained the difference, so go with what makes you feel more comfortable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LoSt180:
None of these lists should be considered "absolute." The idea of a "safe" list are apps that can be considering features or add-ons that wont affect the stability of your phone if removed/frozen. Use the list as a starting point to customize the phone to YOUR needs. You may actually want to keep some of the items in the list. For example, those ANT services/plugins are tied to hardware on the phone for wireless communication, things like the heartrate sensor may need that service to run, and it's used by Samsung S Health. The description I can find seems tied to fitness related devices as well. It seems like a neat feature to have so I haven't frozen it on my phone, you may not care about those features, so it's safe to freeze.

Same with the print services, it took me week of figuring out how to back port those feature into my last phone and love that printing to a WiFi printer in my house is essentially built in to this phone.

If you have to ask, stick with freezing. Please don't take that as being rude, but freezing will disable the app and you can easily restore/un-freeze if you did something wrong or decide you actually want the feature on your phone. Just look at all the people who deleted "Launcher" right after root came out and were scrambling to figure out to restore their phone when it was realized it was an essential app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dave1977nj:
Does anyone know what

Context Service

-

com.qualcomm.atfwd

SmartcardService (remote)

does? and is it safe to freeze them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sk8trix:
Try it and let us know how it goes.

I froze smart card service with no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ajresendez:
Can't you back it up first then delete it. Thats been a thing forever right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cerobles1:
Well, I believe Smart Card service has something to do with Isis. When it is frozen, Isis doesn't load. I have not found any other apps that use this service. So as long as you don't use Isis, freezing Smart Card service won't affect your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sk8trix:
I don't use Isis, I only used the money it had when I got it and then I removed it from my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sheon849:
Which Samsung services are required for Reactivation Lock and Find My Mobile to continue working?

I want to disable a bunch of **** but dont want that to quit on me incase one day I do lose my mobile.

Coming from a iPhone 5S. Dont understand why Samsung must put so much ****ing apps on my phone half of them are stupid and makes me mad seeing them run in the background just eating the battery away.

No wonder android has **** battery life because of stupid pointless apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jdubs860:
I deleted all the bloatware. Much easier to navigate the app drawer. Never used any of the att stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] linty:
This thread is painful

Use the android package manager from terminal emulator.

Open up terminal emulator from play store. T up the following:

pm # No arguments will give usage

su # to get root (You are rooted right?)

pm disable [Package or component]

exit # Get out of root

exit # Close she'll and terminal emulator.

Conversely you could use pm enable. There's a bunch of commands. List.... etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DDman81:
root?

Do you have to be rooted for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LoSt180:
Yes. You can disable many apps on this list without root, but not all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DDman81:
ROM

You should put out a Rom with all the bloatware removed. Maybe offer the APKs for people to pick and choose what they want loaded back on.

I know I would use it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] madefree:
Sorry for coming to this show late in the date.... But I drooling for this device.... so I'm out researching and THANKS very much for this #1 Topic in my do first list.

There is SystemAPK.apk that works without the backup thingy for freezing and unfreezing, since I don't do goo-girl I dnload from 1moble and than turn that off with taskmanger + from same place.

And wandered around first nite there is a xda "SmartDebloater Guide" freezing, debloating and rezipping a new ROM to install clean and lean rebuilt ROM.

I haven't tried it yet but its real high on the "slimming things down a bit list..."

Again thanks for this topic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] btort1:
I use Appquarantine for freezing my apps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] madefree:
Hey thanks,

That was the other one I was trying to remember last nite.

And since its been a few years might check out Rom Tool Box Lite

And in some Apk places beside that one mentioned above the system app freezer is also called....scd.sam.apk

Of course the freeze and delete list is the main how not to brick your device.

I also use Apk.Extractor (free) to extract any and all prgms apks to a SD folder first.

I deleted a needed system app, once, and so I thought . . . ahhh, just do a "Factory Reset," and come to find out that the system app that I deleted, was in the "Factory Reset" file folder so I had to Odin a ROM to unbrick the phone. OPPS.

SO no more wild deleting for me.

And

I also use Mybackup (free or root) to bkup and than reinstall all apks and all their data to the installed apps.... and good to go, up and running in less than 15minutes.

Happy tweaking ya all!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ev1lchris:
While charging my Nexus 7 I noticed that the battery was actually draining rather than charging. This is happened in the past as well where I would plug it in overnight and find it at 42%. My Nexus also dropped from 100% to 77% in less than an hour with no use at all.

Recently while charging I went into the bootloader to shut down the Nexus. Now I plug it in and the screen is blank. I have tied a rubber band around the power button so it is constantly being pressed.

Is this a battery issue that can be solved by simply ordering a battery on eBay and changing it? The past behavior of the tablet makes me think it's either a software or battery issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickargas:

mine done the same thing . But it done so after leaving it for a few weeks not charging. I charged for like 30 minutes . turned it on . It started updating apps. then all at once screen went off. and that was it..

I had square trade warranty as my tab was bought back when 32 gb 2012 version came out. So i sent it in and they fixed it . I have no idea what they done but it has the same serial numbers mac address and so on. So i suspect it was just revived somehow.

I sent email asking exactly what was done to fix it with no reply back.

I bought a battery off of eBay. I'm going to remove the back cover and replace the battery and hopefully that will fix the issue.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Troubadour666:
Hi,

ONLY FOR DORIMANX DUALBOOTERS with TWO KITKAT Roms runing on device.

ALWAYS MAKE NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE ANY FLASH, THAT'S ALL I RECOMMEND (dont forget /preload/ partition if necessary, be aware of your kernel)

i dualboot roms :)

sometimes, i use dorimanx branch 8 to dualboot kitkat roms, with some maliv2 libs addition in /system/lib/ and /system/lib/egl/.

My 1rst rom is always kitkat rom. then i always use branch 8 because i usualy have a JB samsung 4.1.2 rom in 2nd position. when i delete it to install a kitkat rom, i dont change kernel to branch 10, i let DorimanX branch 8 kernel and just put maliV2 libs in kitkat rom i want to flash in 2nd position.

its seems its better to push branch 10 when we have two kitkat roms in device.

so i made a switcher dorimanx kernel/mali v2 or v3.

i choose maliV3 .so files libs from NeatRom AOSP 5.8 (from great friend [MENTION=3690986]_Sale_[/MENTION]) , you can change them by version from your original kitkat ROM you will flash if libs V3 from NeatRom doesnt work for you.

Files are located in AROMA/maliv3/system/lib on my flasher.

Sometimes, V3 .so libs are not the same.

If you stuck in rom after my flasher, just reflash it and choose dormainX branch 8, it will always launch your 1rst rom with maliV2 and then you should restore a valid nandroid backup you have made before using my tool.

my aroma give only choice to

menubox(
"DorimanX Kernel Mali switcher",
"choose what you want to flash",
"DorimanX 8.43v112 new StanTRC recovery and Mali V2","",0,
"DorimanX 10.43v112 new StanTRC recovery and Mali V3 libs from NeatRom AOSP","",0,
"Skip","",1

It flash kernel and replace lib .so files in /system/ and /preload/ in one step.

Assume you have dorimanx kernel installed on device and two dualbooted 4.4.2 (4.4.3) ROMs before use my tool.

WIth AOSB 1.3.4 in 1rst rom and another 4.4.2 rom in 2nd position, with my tool, AOSB switched fine from Dorimanx 8 to Dorimanx 10 and the good Mali files i have pushed in my tool.

thanks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madeinhsa:
Hi!

Is there any way to calibrate Samsung GS2's AMOLED display colours to look like LCD display? I think LCD generates more natural tones than AMOLED. Is there any calibration app or tool to achieve such colours on AMOLED?

I noticed the difference when I transferred phone screenshots to my laptop (which has LCD) and also when I compared the notification shade tones (cyanogenmod 11/AOSP) with nexus 4/5 which have LCDs. S2s AMOLED screen shows browner and warmer shade for QS tiles whereas nexus LCD shows grey colour tiles. This is just one example; many other elements like keyboard, pop ups have this kind of difference.

I am sure there must be some way to calibrate AMOLED screen to look like LCD colours. Has anyone tried this before?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Sammy roms and some aosp/cm roms has this "movie mode" which makes colors alot more natural.

On sammy roms it's under display settings and in aosp/cm etc roms,which has device's "advanced options",it's under screen tab.

As for complete r/g/b,gamma,saturation etc calibration solution as some other phones has in kernels or so,there is no such developed for S2 as far as I know.

And you posted in wrong section,ask mods to move it to Q/A
