The easiest way is to use a different launcher as was mentioned. I once went on a mission to remove it from the native launcher and it was way more trouble than just living with it, if you keep the native launcher. Now, I use that search bar all the time :D .

But if you want to remove it, here's what you need to do:

1) Unlock the bootloader.

2) Root

3) Use a root app, to uninstall or disable the "Google" app.

Once you do this, you will notice other issues, it really screws things up, when you kill the Google app on a Google device.

I'd recommend you use a different launcher. Or learn to love the Google Search Bar.

Nova prime. Easy. Cheap. Way better configuration options with third party apps like "screen off and lock" which gives you tap-tap shut off screen functionality! Many more reasons also. Go with free version first to see if you like it. Then pay for the perks and to support the developer.

ADW will hide the Google bar.. ')

Nova sounds pretty nice, I'll have to take a look at it.

I have been using ADW launcher for years now and it was one of the first things I installed on my new MotoX (pure). Like others I wasn't to happy with the Google bar on top of each page so after some searching found "under Screen" settings that I could disable or change the style of the "Actionbar".

Then under "Gestures" I set as to hide upper & lower bars with single swipes and also found that I could recover the Google bar using "2 Finger Swipe" and hide again with same Gesture.

So as of now ADW has accomplished all the task that I wanted done, and seems to be performing quite well.

I have read and see on their site that it has been some time since ADW has had an update, but as mentioned it is still performing quite well. "fingers crossed" I only hope it cooperates ok with the upcoming Marshmallow upgrade that hopefully will be released soon.

If not, I will certainly be giving Nova a more serious look.

Many thanks to all the Devs and other contributors for the wealth of invaluable information that is made available to all.

Unfortunately I'm still a new guy, which at my age is flattering. lol

But I have yet to earn the privilege to post images, so please feel free to PM for links.

Hi, Im trying to flash to the offical WM6 rom using the SD card. I've gone over the wiki's how to instructions but what I'm confused about is all it says to do is copy and rename the nbh file into the card. But what about the rest of the files? The nbh is just a few hundred kb, and the origional file is over 50MB. Is this really all I need? Or do other files need to be put in the sd card?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jarod_73:
what program do you use to extract files?

here are the steps i followed:

original file------> opened with winrar and extracted Ruu_inside.exe

Ruu_inside.exe file------> opened with winrar and extracted Ruu_signed.nbh (abt 90mb)

an then used nbhtool by Dutty and the guide by Mrvanx .

Good flashing

where you'll put os and ext rom and radio( this late only if you like, i

did one for os and ext.rom and one for radio to flash apart).

Take apart ipl and spl you don't need them.

ah last but not least.. use Customruu.exe to flash your new rom.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biomedeng:
Hi Everyone,

I'm usually just a reader on XDA, but I have found a problem that appears not to have been solved and wondered if anyone had any insight.

Problem Summary

When in an area (or network) with only HSPA and UMTS (strong HSPA/UMTS signal, but with no LTE or 2G available), the phone will drop from H+ to 3G erratically, always dropping the data connection. Traditional phone calls are not affected.

Detailed Description

I have a OnePlus Two and have 2 SIM cards. My first SIM Card is with Bell Canada (Virgin), and the second SIM Card is with WIND Mobile Canada.

Neither Bell nor WIND operate a 2G network, so the lowest the service can fall to is UMTS/3G.

Initially, I didn't notice the problem because Bell also operates an LTE network, and there is no problem with dropping the data connections when on LTE.

When I switched to the WIND SIM card (which only operates HSPA and UMTS), I noticed a problem where the phone would initially connect to H+, begin downloading whatever is needed (say, streaming music), but then part way through the download, the connection would switch to 3G, and the data would effectively stop. Within a minute, the service would jump back to H+ and download some more, but this cycle would continue (H+ --> 3G --> H+ --> 3G... ), with no way of knowing 1) how long the H+ connection would last before dropping to 3G (usually less than 30 seconds), and 2) after dropping to 3G, how long before going back to H+. This problem makes the phone almost useless when there is no LTE.

The most obvious troubleshooting I did was move to locations of better signal but I quickly ruled that out, as nothing seems to remove this problem. Other things I tried was to: move locations in the city, reboot phone, hard reset phone, flash most updated version of Oxygen, unlock bootloader, root, try the HSPA Keepalive app, swap SIM1 to SIM2, and many other things.

I originally thought this was a network issue, but I put this WIND SIM in another phone and there was no problem in any way that resembled this problem.

I also ruled out this being a network-specific problem, as I have taken a trip with the Bell SIM to an area where Bell does not have any LTE coverage (only HSPA and UMTS) and the same problem occurs on Bell as with the WIND SIM.

I have found people who had this problem on the OnePlus One tend to recommend using 2G to stabilize the connection, but this is not possible on Bell or WIND. That solution also would not provide adequate data speeds.

Remember this problem only affects data connectivity, as 3G traditional phone calls have no problems.

Question

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the conditions when the OnePlus Two will choose to switch from H+ to 3G?

Does anyone have any easier suggestions?

Thank you all in advance, because this rendering this phone almost useless when there is no LTE coverage.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
I believe your problem is that phone it's dualsim standby, that means only one modem that alternates signal for both sims, I think normal would be alternating from faster network to slower network on sim without data.

Having to change to g3 between sims theres something stoped in the modem and data connection is also stopped.

You have no problem with voice calls because other sim is automatically turned off and unreachable.

There's nothing you can do if you're forced to only 3g on both sims

By 3g I mean 3g or h+ which to my knowledge are the same

Hope I was helpful and not wrong or more confusing
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biomedeng:
Thanks, I will try disabling the second SIM to see if there is a bug with the dual-sim...

What it currently does with the second SIM is it either shows "R" for roaming or just emergency only, but perhaps there is a software issue so I'll see if disabling the second SIM makes a difference.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biomedeng:
Though strange, this workaround fixes the issue. Thank you to fburgos for the suggestion!

So just in case anyone ever finds this issue creeps up on them, the solution is to DISABLE the SIM you are not using. It's not the most convenient workaround to swap SIMs, but the other SIM will be in Emergency Mode, so it really makes no functional difference.

On the technical side, it does appear that there is actually a bug in Android for a very uncommon network configuration. It will only appear in this exact configuration:

SIM1: Network has HSPA/3G only, no LTE or 2G to move to

SIM2: Network also only has HSPA/3G with no LTE or 2G

The non-data SIM does NOT connect to a roaming network (connects with "Emergency Only") - if it connects to a roaming 2G network, this problem does not happen.

The data SIM connects to HSPA/3G

Both SIMs are active

I'm not sure if this will happen anywhere else in the world other than having a WIND Mobile Canada SIM and Bell or TELUS Canada SIM

If anyone has insight on how to report this to Google, or someone else who can confirm my theory, that would be great!
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odeccacccp:
Try this:

1. You need to make sure you have the correct LTE APN selected in mobile networks and LTE as preferred type.

2. Go to dialer and type in this: *#*#4636#*#*

3. Phone Information

4. Set Preferred Network Type to: LTE/GSM (PRL) - you an play with which one you wanna use but the one I said works for sure. on other roms I have" TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA and LTE"

5. Now click TURN OFF RADIO and wait WAIT few secs. will that button turns to Turn Radio ON

6. Now TURN ON RADIO and wait

7. when u see the triangle for the signal is back, at least black , go down and lick SMSC REFRESH then UPDATE.

8. now just go back to APN settings and go into your LTE APN

9. Change Bearer to LTE

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angadsg:
compared with my htc butterfly 2 and another low-end android, one plus 2 running latest Oxygen OS has serious connectivity issues. I compared the signals strength using same sim card in same location (including being connected to the same tower) and One Plus 2 keeps dropping the connection and has really poor signal strength. I have tried the *#*#4636#*#* and tried different network modes, but none of them are helping. Its a real disappointment that the basic feature of this phone is screwed up.

I have tried with CM13 as well. Any ideas if this is a modem version issue?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebulaoperator:
So basically I have question whether larger resolution drains significant larger amount of battery energy.

For instance if we take both two screens : 5.7' vs 5.7'' both use same IPS technology 1080 vs 1440 Same Snapdragon 808 and Adreno 418 3GB of RAM 3000mah battery The reason I chosen same size hardware to give as much as possible identical condition part from pixel count.

Other comparison would be 5" vs 5.7" both use same IPS technology 1080 vs 1440 identical Snapdragon 808 and Adreno 418 3GB of RAM 3000mah .

If you also have any links bring them in!

First of all I am not a established developer still learning android system...... if anything creates problems after flashing this rom or after installing, dont blame me..:p

Proudly present the rom for Idol 3 6045I ported from it Chinese sibling TCL I806.

Fully working on my 6045I. Its stock 5.0.2 from TCL I806.

Many chinese apps have been removed but still few remains which can be removed by getting root.

Features:

1. Less Lags.

2. Fast.

3. Camera is working far better than the recent updates provided for 6045I.

How to install:

Caution : Before doing this, please make backup of your system & efs as mentioned by Famewolf in his thread of making backups.

1. Just download the zip from the link provided below and keep it in the root of sdcard.

2. Also download the gapps provided in the links. First link is which I installed on my device and second one is the latest. Keep it also in the root of the sdcard.

3. Now just boot into recovery mode i.e. TWRP , do not wipe anything, script will do it itself and just go to install and choose the stock chinese rom for 6045I.zip and flash.

4. Let the process to complete. It will ask to restart the system and just restart the system.

5. After first start choose language and other options, again boot into recovery mode and flash the gapps provided.

6. Here the stock chinese rom will run smoothly on your 6045I.

7. If TWRP gives error "error in executing binary" then you have to manually edit the updater-script but it depends on what your TWRP says about the error. So just ask me I will tell you what changes to make in updater-script.

After couple of manual restarts or with time rom will start to run smoothly.

Links :

Rom : removed due to some problems occurred after flashing.

gapps : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001614559 or https://basketbuild.com/gapps (choose android 5.0).

For any kind of help regarding to this rom pm me or just ask in this thread.

I will try my best :D

Caution : Does not works on 6045Y & 6045K.

Backup efs also in case u loose ur IMEI or having error of unknown baseband/ no network

If you like my work, dont forget to hit thanks......

Sorry for all the trouble caused.

Well I am also in the same boat as well.....

[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] brian117:
Are there any real noticeable differences besides less lag and fast? Those two mean almost the same thing. Does this ROM offer anything major that the US stock ROM doesn't? Awesome work though making a new ROM for the community to try. We appreciate your work. :good:
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] famewolf:
One enhancement I read about was that it did have newer camera software. Many of the packages included are newer version levels than the ones included on our phones because the i806 came out after our models.

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

You should consider removing the system update checker from your custom rom. The icon appears in your screenshots so I'm assuming it's still included. Since the build.prop says it's a 6045i but it has the i806 codebase patches will never apply since the checksum's won't match.....so depending on what "version" it thinks it's on vs the update version the update checker will either never show an update or always show an update.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] nickalltogether:
OK. I think I have this working. The ROM seems to be functional for me. Downloading all my apps now and getting it set up how I like. Will try to run it through the day tomorrow and see what I like and don't like... not expecting much difference over stock, but we'll see.

Another option is the Slimgapps official thread here. They do have a "zero gapps" package, and both 5.x I think.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] Anghirrim:
You mean testers?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] yash_rathore25:
Yupp bro.

Just edit build.prop with notepad++ and change it to 6045Y instead of 6045I and flash the rom.

Then check the log of TWRP specially before the error in executing updater binary.

It will say something about the check_cu.

If you will open updater script with notepad++ you will see first line of command saying "check_cu("6045I-2AALUS7");"

Just change this line ("6045I-2AALUS7") with the line shown in the TWRP similar to this ( something like 6045Y-XXXXXXX)

Then again flash the rom, gapps and hope it will work.:cool:

If it works, dont forget to hit thanks button :laugh:
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] Anghirrim:
Ok... I'll see, my phone is less than one week old and I swore myself that this one would be kept untouched for a year. I wanted to keep it clean for warranty purpose but one week later... I'm already rooted.

I'm kind of flashaholic:D so won't resist very long... Don't worry.

What will it update exactly? Is there a risk it will mess up the European radio part? Just to make sure I'll still get a good signal or loose imei.

I do have my twrp backup for boot and system image, will that be enough to get back to a previous working state?

I rooted my phone the next day it came to me,

Eventually i am also not going to get warranty as I imported this device from US to India.

N I personally dont care about warranty as none of the android device gets bricked completely, there is always a way.:D

Like I got stucked in bootloops in try of porting cm12.1 from other device.Even my backups failed to boot. Then I followed the mobile updater app provided by Alcatel and it simply restored my device to factory rom which will get updates also.:o

N warranty will not work if the device got physically damaged.

Yes backup will work.

After flashing this rom I would suggest you to make TWRP backup of this rom also alongwith Stock one.

I am getting a lot of range in network selection as it contains all the radios available for this device.

Screenshots of network range:
[Onetouch Idol 3 Android Development] famewolf:
It's much safer to mod now since with Version 4.9.2 of the Mobile Q software from alcatel (you have to tell it you have a "pixi" for that version to appear as it's so new) allows you to put the phone in "download mode" and fully restore the device to factory condition. (tested by multiple idol 3 users of both the 6039 and 6045) This goes a long way towards making the device unbrickable.
