[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucbertz:
The core of the RID deletion script seems to be this:

delete(
"/system/lib/libril.so",
"/system/lib/libsec-ril.so",
"/system/lib/libsecril-client.so",
"/system/lib/libsecril-shim.so"
);

So it is only a deletion of system libraries.

I want to give an old smartphone as almost pure media player to my child, preventing any phone possibility, even emergency calls, so I'm interested in this thread. I want to disable RIL, keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and reduce at most battery draining for not needed stuff.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postafoa:
wow, a reply after 3 years of silence.

I'm a noob, no expert, but what i remember from this thread is, it's a bad idea to just delete code that talks to the celltower, because manufacturers likely have hardware code that keeps polling regardless of the software.

the scripts and tips in this thread are useless because they will just drain the battery.

The best way to disable the GSM transceiver is via the service code, *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone Information -> Cellular Radio Power (wording may vary on different phones, but it's a slider)

The problem with this method is, that it will not persist across boots.

If anyone knows of a way to physically disable the GSM transceiver, so that it NEVER talks to the celltower even during boot, PLEASE come forward.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
Editing, rewriting, repairing and invalidating (zero-ing) your IMEI/MEID device identifiers is not prohibited discussion here on XDA, nor do the XDA rules indicate such. In fact, this topic is very commonplace to Android devs and users alike, and there are dozens of threads, guides and tutorials on XDA outlining the subject matter. Spoofing your IMEI/MEID (such as replacing it with the identifiers of another device for the purpose of concealing the original device's true identity) is, however, a prohibited XDA topic, because the procedure is highly illegal in the US and most countries abroad.

I realize this is in reply to an older post, but I did want to correct the false information in the event that members or visitors who run across it are mislead and misinformed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Doing anything to IMEI that alters it from its original/stock state is most definitely prohibited here at XDA. Repairing/rewriting it to its original state is allowed but discussions that contain information that "could" be used to change the IMEI completely are not allowed, such as discussing how to "edit" IMEI, editing is a different animal than repairing/restoring/rewriting IMEI.

As a former Forum Moderator here, it was my duty to understand and enforce the rule on this.

The reason I posted what I posted to that member is because they asked about "editing" the IMEI, not removing or repairing IMEI.

It actually IS in the rules by the way, I can link you to many occassions where a Moderator has posted warnings to other members here for such discussions. They include a transript of the rule when they do such actions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I'm fully aware of the XDA guidelines you are referring to. The rules here on XDA regarding IMEI/MEID discussions were promulgated to reflect the federal statutes prohibiting the practice of concealing the identity of mobile devices. That federal statute is 18 US Code Section 1029, which prohibits exactly what you noted -- altering a unique device identifier in a manner that is intended to conceal the true identity of the device. The mens rea is the key aspect to the language here: the culpable state of mind, or the intent. As you correctly note, changing a device identifier, or having discussions relating thereto, is strictly.prohibited here on XDA. This may be where my point.wasa misconstrued, and I apologize if you interpreted it that way. I was speaking only of repairing or rewriting the original corrupt or damaged IMEI or MEID of a device, not altering, modifying or changing it from its original state. Zero-ing or invalidating the device identifier(s) is often necessary to troubleshoot or debug the RIL when compiling a custom ROM. My point here was that unless the user has the mens rea, or actual intent, to conceal the identity of the device, no law has been broken.

In any event, it wasn't my intent to debate the XDA rules with my comment. In retrospect I could have phrased it differently. The discussion is certainly a slippery slope and there is a fine line between having a permissive discussion on the subject and breaking the law.

In fact, I just made a lengthy post in a thread arguing the same point you made in this regard.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Yeah, its hard to guess what a users intent is when they say edit, that dang slippery slope. I started to mention in my last post that it is a grey area that was often discussed in the background amongst the Mods when we would encounter scenarios where the users intent and purposes are, by all rights, legitimate but would often require providing answers or help that could potentially be used for illegitimate purposes by anyone else that saw the answers.

[HTC Excalibur] djnutz:
So I've spent the past couple HOURS looking how to remove the system tray or start bar from my Excalibur. I've tried all VJ's tools, dcinobar, the init_tray.lnk from the start menu or /windows/startmenu (removing that link if you can find it will remove it), wisbar, searching the registry for what would work for the Wing, tried PMC Today Shrink, tried HKLM\init\Launch92:TrayAp.exe, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/ Tray/app, and I can't seem to either find the correct registry entry, program (all aren't for smartphones), and right now i'm searching through the xml file for the Kaiser tweat hoping to find something...

I'm trying to squeeze the extra home screen real estate by removing it but keeping the soft keys active...does anyone have any ideas of what file to remove or what registry entry to edit/remove or program that will accomplish this?

This forum rocks and I'm really hoping for some help.

Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
try using smarttool kit, just google it and you will find it, you might like it... makes it like a vista style menu
[HTC Excalibur] konpaku:
You need to learn basic coding skills for editing the homescreen XML scripts (edit via PC using any text editors).

Edit the XML files for the homescreens (located at "\Application Data\Home\" folder. Just remove the code for the system tray plugin, and you're set to go.

As for the start bar, I'm still trying to figure out (just learned how to edit XML scripts couple of hours ago). Will inform you ASAP once I know how to.

Below is an example of such code. The plugin class ID (plugin clsid) for the system tray (iconbar) is the same for every smartphones (probably the same for all WM5/6 phones).

Code for system tray :

<plugin clsid="{837FC251-FE69-43ad-84E0-EBCEDEBA0884}" name="iconbar" height="27">

<iconbar fgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHTTEXT"/>

<background gradient="title" bgcolor="COLOR_TRAYGRADLEFT" b-border-color="transparent"/>

</plugin>
[HTC Excalibur] djnutz:
Thanks for the replies. I have smart tool kit, and it has a feature to auto-hide it's vista style startbar...but the original start bar is still behind it after it "auto-hides" on the homescreen.

I have to mess around with xml file also...let's all keep each other posted on progress.

My intention is to remove the original startbar and then use smarttoolkits auto hide when a softkey is hit.
[HTC Excalibur] djnutz:
Any update on removing the start bar & soft key text from anyone? I'm assuming it's a registry edit?? I just can't seem to find they keys...

Again if anyone has any ideas I appreciate it.
[HTC Excalibur] jdhelstrom:
removing the iconbar entry (or disabling it) out of the homescreen.home.xml will only remove the top bar, it will not remove the bottom bar/softkey labels.

I accidently completely wiped and bricked the phone when trying to update the recovery through SP Flash Tool.

Now there isn't any IMEI and have tried fixing it with the following but still comes up with invalid IMEI:

SN Writer

Openening Engineering Mode doesn't have any option for CDS to re-write the IMEI.

I have the original two numbers as well.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] foxtrot_lima:
According to https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-hide-the-navigation-bar-in-emui-5-0/ you should be able to hide the navigation bar by running:

adb shell settings put global navigationbar_is_min 1

Sadly this does not work on my phone, does it work for anyone else?

I can get the navbar to hide following this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-hide-navigation-bar-status-bar-app-t3509747

Unfortunately this only hides the navbar by using immersive mode and it also hides the floating dock control which I'm interested in using instead of the navbar

Try again and see if it works
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] brljak83:
Just to say it is good from what I have read to use floating dock couse some users said that they got burn in of the nav bar..

But if floating dock does not work anymore try from playstore "pie control"

It is the same thing

Do not know if you need to be rooted
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] foxtrot_lima:
Tried a couple of times without any luck. Maybe it's not working on the 389 firmware? Anyone with a lower firmware that can try it out?

Floating dock works fine, it's disabling the navbar that doesn't work.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] brljak83:
Sorry but it seem I have misunderstood you

But if you use floating dock it is supposed to disable the nav bar..

Anyway I have thought you need ''pie control'' couse the floating dock does not work

as a replacement.. anyway it is disabling the navbar for me too if I turn on the floating dock..

EDIT: Sorry... it is not disabling the navbar.. I just saw for my self to test it and report it to you

Hiding navbar with adb commands works, sadly it seems that the floating dock is tied to the navbar since every action that hides the bar also hides the floating dock.

Hello

My note 900P

Before I flashed the phone was not seeing the battery charged, and only got the dead battery pic. and would flash every few seconds ...

Now it is reboot mode every few seconds and is dead if not connected to power...

I changed a few batteries out and were fully charged and checked connections...

I had very hard time to flash it but found a better down load....

The soft ware I downloaded was lollipop 5. I,m not sure what was on it before,,, I did not think it was lollipop, would that matter?

But I think It is with the battery issue...

Any suggestions?

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] wrnTncvLAzLuirZ5XEiY:
I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, but when I try to boot my phone (Mi 6) normally I end up seeing TWRP's OpenRecoveryScript running briefly before the phone shuts off and boots again. My phone started doing this last night without any apparent prompt while I had it charging and plugged into my computer. I think it might be because of the MIUI update I installed earlier that day. I can still boot the phone into the TWRP recovery screen with all its options, and into fastboot, but I can't boot it normally. How can I fix this without encrypting/deleting or otherwise messing up the data currently on my phone?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] wrnTncvLAzLuirZ5XEiY:
I was able to fix this problem by downloading the stock recovery .img file posted in this thread ( en.miui.com/thread-639221-1-1.html ) and flashing the recovery section using TWRP. I hope whatever caused my problem is fixed in future updates of TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Theliels:
If you want a advice, no worry about use TWRP for root or any other feature you can need, but don't flash it, only boot it. If you replace the Recovery, you will have problem with otas and other stuff. Instead:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

use

fastboot boot recovery twrp.img

Yes, you must use it everytime you want enter on twrp, but it by far, less problematic

My phone just randomly started bootlooping and is now stuck in a permanent bootloop that only stops when I pull the battery and then starts right back up if I put the battery in and try turning it back on. I've had it for 6 months now, rooted it with Dirty COW six months ago and it's been completely FINE until just now.. the past few days it has been extremellllly laggy but still worked fine and then this happened out of the blue! I can't get into recovery and because it won't turn on to the lockscreen I can't do adb reboot recovery!

Please someone help.

Again, it's rooted using Dirty COW but has been rooted for six months now; I have two batteries for it and I use Nova Launcher which also recently (within past week) started to continually crash and re-ask me which launcher I wanted to use by default, and did it every time it crashed.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonsat:
I'm sorry to inform you that it seems that you are another one fallen into the bootloop of death. It is a well known hardware malfunction of several LG cell phone's mainboards.

You can try put your phone in freezer for 5-10 mins (without battery) and see if it restarts for enough time to perform a backup.

Another (much more risky) temporary solution is to heat it with a hair-drier for some minute, better disassembling it and trying not to heat camera zone too much. I honestly advice you not to try this second method, just inform you that it exists.

By the way, those two are only temporary workarounds, your phone is unrecoverable without a mainboard replacement or a professional resoldering of it.

Hope that some minute near the ice will suffice to get your V10 back for recover your data.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeexhan:
With lg Bridge you can restore you phone to it's original form.

and do not try heating or freezing method your phone has a software failure not hardware.

and about that scree show unable or something it shows once you install custom recovery.

if you previously have installed the TWRP then here is the method to get into it

a) pull battery out, and put it back in to make sure phone is completely powered off

b) Press and hold volume down + power button, as soon as phone lights up and shows LG logo release power button for just one second and press again untill you see a hardreset screen

c) on hard reset screen press vol - button on yes and press power button to select yes and do it again on next screen, it will lead you to TWRP Recovery

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arctic Prodigy:
Your phone is gone, your best bet is to call LG, best you can hope for is to explain to them that you recently got this phone, say within last 6 months, and now it is in a bootloop, you may get a replacement, I have already done about 20 of these LG V10 phones that way, they just end up replacing the board in it, but other than that, there strictly must not be any liquid or physical damage to inside or screen or they will charge you for it.

I am not 100% entirely they will still honor the fixing of bootloops due to warranty status, but I stopped sending mine in in December last year, but this is for a defect they admit and not normal wear out that is in the actual warranty coverage.

I would like to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S3 Model GT-I9300 from Android version 4.3 to a newer version. Do you have any recommendations?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Root your device, then install a custom recovery then try some of the available custom ROMs for i9300 until you find one that you like and fits your needs/purposes. It's pointless to ask for ROM suggestions, they are all different and not everybody likes the same things. You'll just have to try more than one ROM until you're satisfied with what you have.

You're welcome, Lineage is a good choice as long as they have the bugs worked out, if it has too many bugs for you, try some other slightly older marshmallow or lollipop ROMS from the i9300 forum here, they will probably be more developed and stable, your choice though.
