[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sickaxis79:
I don't think its necessary anymore to greenify system apps since android 6. Its better to disable the moto and google services in settings > apps. Disabling also prevents the services to start when booting and saves more power and memory.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudRed:
Even I have disabled these apps but battery keeps draining as most of the system apps are awake all the time. So to save more and squeeze more battery life I was wondering if its safe to hibernate motorola services and apps.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bablu048:
follow this to disable even more system apps www.xda-developers.com/setting-up-android-marshmallow-without-google/

just greenify all user apps and turn auto hibernation on that should be enough IMO.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudRed:
Link not working. However I know about automated hibernation.. But with no root device there is hardly any scope for deep hibernation.

Edit : worked from laptop.

PS : This needs custom recovery ?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bablu048:
just google "setting up marshmallow without Google xda ". or open that link in PC or another browser because it is opening in my browser.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudRed:
Done, this needs custom recovery ? I am on stock and not rooted.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bablu048:
no, you don't even need to root... just go to settings--apps--show system and start disabling according to the guide whatever you don't need.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sickaxis79:
I never greenify system apps since android lollipop and never have had strange battery drains so far. Its normal that a lot of system apps are running in the background, thats why they call it a smartphone. Just auto greenify your user apps and disable all services you don't use in android settings. And don't use wakelock detectors, because it only makes you crazy seeing how much services are running in the background which is completely normal. You can auto hibernate user apps without root, only takes a little longer to hibernate.

You should go through the article once, clearly talks about custom recovery, running commands. There is no option to run command from stock recovery.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bablu048:
That is for removing Google products totally... Go to the end of the article it has a list of products which you can disable without causing any problems.

Have successfully removed all the google apps. Only issue is Ola cabs app doesnt work without play services and still looking for a proper standalone YouTube app. Plus contacts synchronisation app if available.. Rest I have replaced allmost all.

Has anyone who has gotten their hands on one had a chance to see if this app works? Would be awesome if it works for those of us with Verizon and still rocking unlimited data!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Logan999:
YES, FoxFi works on the Galaxy S7 Edge. Though I don't have my phone yet (arriving Friday), I went into local VZ store, installed FoxFi from my PlayStore account and confirmed it DOES work with no issues. To my knowledge it shouldn't matter what type of account you have (including unlimited, which I have). I believe it is a function of the hardware. This is why I waited to purchase this phone (and confirm FoxFi) rather than the Motorola Turbo, which does not work with FoxFi.

So I updated via pc companion. Phone boots but the system ui just crashes constantly. Can't access settings, notification pull down or load the camera with the hardware button. Can only long press power and get power off or restart menu.

Tried repair in pc companion, same thing happens. Tried flashing the Marshmallow firmware in flashtool and same result. Anyone else experience this? Anyone have any ideas what caused this or how to fix it?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Did you flash the firmware and wiped your data? If no than wipe data
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaMMeR_Oz:
Yes, did data wipe.

I've solved it. Look like it was the sd card. Worked fine on lollipop but Marshmallow didn't like it. I tried deleting things off it first but in the end had to format it. Worked fine after that without having to reflash anything.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clinkz123:
I've got the same problem here.

So you formatted your sd card before flashing, and everything worked fine, or you first booted in and then insert the formatted SD card?

Btw, after the app crashes I couldn't get the phone unlocked even if I took out the sd card.

One of the big features in the new Galaxy was the addition of Whitepages built into the dialer.

Did Verizon force Samsung to remove that as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mark112089:
Looks like Verizon removed this feature. If enough people tell them they are upset about it they may bring it back, but probably not
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TeK9samurai:
It's Verizon. Since when do they listen.

They want you to pay for their ID program
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TeK9samurai:
Spoke with Samsung. Verizon forced them to remove it due to the paid for ID program.

Hopefully enough people bother them that they end up bringing it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
I found this feature by downloading "Any cut" from the play store and then scrolling through the list and finding "identify unsaved numbers" you can then turn it on from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] joebrady119:
Very similar In Nova Launcher... Create a new activities widget... Scroll down to the third phone choice (it has the most choices)... Then select "identify unsaved numbers"... That will create a shortcut.. Open it and flip the switch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] TeK9samurai:
Yeah there are numerous programs out there.

True Caller, Whitepages ID, etc.

I would have liked not to download an extra program when it's built into the dialer.

I started a forum in the Verizon Community.

Hopefully if we get enough people to annoy them, they will bring it back.

This looks really good. I"m currently using CallApp, based on pulling info from social sites, Facebook, Twitter ect. but I want something more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mrclark5688:
It is possible to get the builtin whitepages semi working. (the caller id works but searching for local business via the contacts search bar doesn't seem to) However doing so requires a rooted phone. If you go to your system/app folder you should see a folder called SmartCallProvider. Inside is the whitepages apk. make sure it was the right permissions rw-r--r-- then go to your system/csc folder. here you want to add this line to your feature.xml file.

<CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>whitepages,whitepages,on</CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>

reboot phone and it should be working. I've only recieved one unknown number call since then but whitepages seems to work as it was identified as a scam number.

the name is actually also SmartCallProvider.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Dri94:
Okay then i did it right
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] mrclark5688:
you also need to enable the "identify unsaved numbers" setting in your dialer, which should now be available after preforming the modification.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7743:
Hi all,

I have a bit of an issue with the latest OTA update currently being pushed out and looking for help how best to proceed.

I have unlocked and rooted the phone previously and recovery is TWRP. My phone is encrypted.

When I accepted the updated the phone rebooted and showed the TWRP splash screen which flashes on and off endlessly. If I turn the phone off and on again it restarts fine but after a few seconds the update process starts again. I am currently stuck in this loop.

Any advice as to how I can get out of this without wiping my phone?

I am wondering if I could flash the standard recovery to remove TWRP if this would work. Could it and if so, where can i get the standard recovery image.

Thanks and sorry of this is already covered, I searched but couldn't find it.

So, if I want to install the lastest update it's enough to unroot, remove xposed and flash stock recovery? Or it's better to flash full stock through fastboot?

I flashed the standard recovery and rebooted which stopped the endless loop. The update still fails to install but I can live with that for now.

I'll investigate further what I need to do to get the update to take properly but for now I have a functioning phone which is a good start to the day.

Thanks so much for trying to help. I went ahead and flashed the boot and recovery files for my model.

I was having same issue. I am stock, rooted, unlocked bootloader.

Currently using TWRP 3.0

In order to update with the new OTA you need to find a download of the .zip files and manually install it.

If you try to do OTA update it will just keep getting stuck in recovery. To get out of this just cache wipe and reboot.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck-fu:
This phone has never been able to take OTAs for some reason. I wish I understood why. I tried to leave the thing stock to keep things simple, but it wasn't to be... anyway...

Thanks for the advice. Any idea where to get a download of the .zip files (is it really more than one zip file, or was that a typo)? I tried searching, but can't seem to find the right things to search for.

Also, once i have the zip file(s):

1) Do I just install it via TWRP like any other zip file?

2) to get rid of the OTA prompt, do i wipe the cache and reboot before or after i install the update via the zip?

Many thanks!

I managed to update via OTA flashing the stock recovery, boot and system chunks. This is the procedure I do to update my wife's Nexus 5 and worked for the Moto X Style too. Remember to make a backup before in case something goes wrong.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck-fu:
Thanks for the info- what version do you have? I have the 1575 RETUS and can't find the system file. Is that basically flashing an entire ROM? Sorry, but i've flashed boot and recovery files before, as well as full ROMs but don't ever remember flashing a system file on its own.

Thanks!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5067076:
I have the 1572 RETEU, but you can find the stock firmware here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833

If it's like the stock firmware that I have for the 1572 it should have all the img files and the system chunks. You just need to flash all the chunks like this:

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8

This has to be done because Marshmallow doesn't allow any modification in the system or the boot image, and will not proceed with the OTA if the ROM is not full stock.

EDIT: You will not loose any data, but any modification to the system partition will be undone.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck-fu:

I have flashed the XT1575 6.0 boot.img, recovery.img, then from the firmware, extracted the 8 sparsechunk files and flashed those as well. I still get the ERROR after a few seconds of trying to load the OTA.

Any other ideas by any chance? Did you do any kind of wiping in there somewhere? Did you just let the normal OTA try installing from within Android?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5067076:
I just let the normal OTA install after flashing system, boot and recovery, without wiping any partition. Maybe you can try a flash all the zip to make sure it's full stock and see if the OTA install. Just make a backup before in case nothing change.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuck-fu:
Unfortunately that is exactly what i tried. Went to Fastboot. Didn't wipe anything. Flashed all 3 items. Rebooted without wiping anything. Let the OTA appear. Accepted it and let it reboot to recovery during install. Process started, then got the Error/Dead Andy.

I guess my next step will be to flash the full zip. But I was really hoping to avoid that since i needed to do that to upgrade to MM since that upgrade never worked for me either. Something must be screwed up somewhere...
