[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yellowtotempole:
I am also curious about removing the lock screen ad that stays there even after removing all the packages. I have tried to go into settings and change it, but there is no option to change the lock screen wallpaper. If you find anything out it would be greatly appreciated.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
Congrats on persevering and getting it done! The Windows drivers are always the problem for me too and since I have Linux too, I just use that. But that doesn't help people trying to do it on windows. I wonder if the Windows 10 driver signing was the issue?

I do not believe that there is a solution for the lock screen ad. But I thought that if you had notifications, it was only notification-sized instead of full screen. Didn't someone do something to make sure there was always at least one notification? I don't know though since I rooted and reflashed my phones.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Yun Wu:
Thanks, mrmazak and yaconsult!

I changed the wallpaper but it is still there.

Looks like it is lock screen wallpaper and no way to change (as yaconsult pointed).

Hi yaconsult,

It's just a lock screen wallpaper and not a notifications.

So actually it is just make you always see such an ad, and except that it's OK. I am fine with that.

Once again, thank you so much for help getting rid of the ads!

[MENTION=5312578]mrmazak[/MENTION] Hey I just wanted to say thank you for the help. I can't root my phone since it's 8.4 but I was able to uninstall all the ads and dumb Amazon bloatware using your script. Note to other users I had to insert " shell pm " in each command after "adb" to get it to uninstall. Also I couldn't get the batch to run for some reason but you can copy paste it by right clicking on the adb console, going to properties and checking "quick edit" box. you don't have to Crtl+v, just crtl+c then right click and it will auto paste, this was on win7.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
Yes, it's gone forever and has been superseded by the Blu R1 Plus which can't be rooted or bootloader unlocked.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Carsfv:
Hello!

you can solve these?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
No, no one can. With the earlier ROM releases, you could. I have two Blu R1 HD phones that have no advertising at all, including on the lock screen. But that is because they were early versions of the phone and I reflashed them with modified ROMs as soon as I got them. Once the phones are upgraded, either over-the-air by the user or in production, with the unmodified official Blu software then the tools needed to make the changes you want to the phone have been disabled. All known loopholes and exploits have been patched.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] pfederighi:
Hello.

I was given a blu r1 hd. It was already updated to version 8.7. Since the bootloader is locked and there's no way to root, is there a point in disabling/removing OTA? And if OTA can work, what magic does it do to flash things? Can that be exploited?

Thank you.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] pfederighi:
lockscreen ad picture removal (sort of)

For what it's worth...

If the last lock screen ad annoys you, you can remove it and replace it with a clipart style picture of a woman sitting in the lotus position while listening to her BLU R1 HD phone via headphones. See the attached picture.

Method:

Backup your phone.

Factory reset your phone.

Sign in, set up accounts, or don't. Just get past the new phone setup stuff.

Enable adb in developer settings.

Use adb to remove ads.

Reboot the phone.

Resetore the stuff you want from your backup.

This method doesn't give the phone time to download any lockscreen ads. This is how things went on my 8.7 phone, anyway.

Why the lockscreen app reverts to this picture rather than the lockscreen wallpaper is something only BLU could answer. From an aesthetic point of view, I'd much rather have the picture of the woman with the telescope from a couple posts back.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
The stock bootloader will only install ROM images cryptographically signed by Blu. That's why we needed to flash a new bootloader with SP Flash Tools in order to flash modified ROMs. But SP Flash Tools has been disabled by the updates. If you have removed the lock screen ads using the methods in this thread, disabling OTA updates would ensure that the ads aren't restored in a future update in a way that they can no longer be removed. On the other hand, I don't really expect any more updates since the phone is no longer made and Blu is terrible about updates.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Mihikus:
Finally I removed the stock lockscreen wallpaper! All you need is to reinstall Amazon offers, wait appearing normal wallpaper as at the main screen. Then you uninstall Amazon offers and start mrmazak's script again. That's it.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Vulnerability:
This works until you reboot, then the stock ad will be back.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Mihikus:
It works! Even after reboot. New year's magic!)
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] Vulnerability:
You must have done something different, tried it this morning and the damn stock ad shows up after reboot
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
Official Prime phone ad removal process from Amazon!

Seems like Amazon is now providing an official way for people to remove ads from Amazon Prime phones! See the following article here on XDA:

https://www.xda-developers.com/download-amazon-offers-remove-lockscreen-ads-amazon-fire/

I have not tried it because my phones are unlocked but according to the XDA article, it works. It seems that an earlier version of the story reported that it worked on all ad supported devices but people were quick to report that it didn't work on devices other than phones, like kindle readers or fire tablets. It's for amazon Prime version phones only.

4. Delete or rename the stock system.img in the folder

5. Copy the downloaded rooted system.img into the PhoenixOS folder

6. Proceed with reboot and allow Phoenix OS to go through initialization

7. IMMEDIATELY after booting Phoenix OS, download SuperSU update from the Play Store

8. You will be prompted to update binaries... select Normal method.

9. After binaries are updated, reboot Phoenix OS and you should have root access

Does any one know how I can force an app to run in full screen? (Like the camera app)

I really wanted to use this OS to run Photo Mate R3 but when I open the app it doesn't render right, it is as if the app become transparent.

Also have a problem with Waze, the map stays black.

I'm hopping the if I can force them to run full screen these render issues will not happen.

Any thoughts?

Can't move anything, it is the limit of screen.

Removed the weather widget, moved another app there and changed the grid, but it's still the same.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
You can try, but depending on which security update patch you're on, it might error out with a package name conflict, you have to wait for a new update from Samsung, then on first boot you can install updated apps

If you haven't rebooted since the last update it might still work, grab the updated TouchWiz from apkmirror.com

Have you tried clearing Data from that settings storage page on your screenshot? (It'll reset TouchWiz back to default and lose any customisations you've made, app shortcuts, folders etc)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Turkish007:
Rebooted many times, installed different versions from apkmirror.com and reset the TouchWiz to factory, but nothing changed.

Very weird, all I can suggest is flashing back to the previous firmware and waiting for the next one, report the problem to Samsung via Twitter or something and hope it's fixed in the next update
[Android Head-Units] idlt:
additional observations/thoughts

I just noticed something else. When I start the car in the morning to go to work the headunit is always on immediately. Does this mean that it stays on after it restarts itself at some point at night ? or does it boot up that fast? (less than a second)? I dont remember ......if this is a heat issue and it started at the same time as when I was trying to root it wouldn't that issue kind of go away when I installed 6.0.1? its supposed to have better cpu management right?
[Android Head-Units] edit:
In my opinion it's the heat that's causing the problems combined with with the fact that maybe some of the electronics gave out. It returns back to life when it's cool enough.

Either way make a video demonstrating the issue, complain and demand a new unit under warranty.

In the meantime you can install an app that can monitor the CPU temperatures

Like :

1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.kfsoft.android.MemoryIndicator

2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yanyan.cputemp

That can display the temperature at all times no matter the app that you are in

Use this app to test the stability and temperature under heavy CPU load : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.into.stability

Check the temperature it reaches before blacking out.... it could be the CPU giving out on high temps or maybe something else... just a thought...
[Android Head-Units] idlt:
Thank you for your reply I will try to work around its schedule and do that. I just went and disconnected the power completely so it stays cool until I'm able to work on your suggestion. Hopefully after work it will start up normally and I can sit there for an hr looking at the temperatures (not happy bout that for a brand new unit) .

the funny thing is that it gives out when the car is off so the unit should be on sleep. How can the temps go up high enough to shut it off when its not even doing anything? The dormancy setting is on so I was assuming it went to sleep.

here is the reply i got from joying below. Basically suggesting to do what I have already done to it

Also some people suggesting sending them a video but a video of what? when its on its running ok when its off its off for hrs and when it comes back its normal again.....it would be a veeeery boring video:)

Dear friend,

Thanks for your well-cooperated with us together .

please noted :

1) we think that the files on the head unit maybe mess after your root the head unit .

2) So now the head unit can not turn on again , and it may turn back on after 6-7 hours ?

3) if yes , please try to do following processes and check whether will be workable for your problems :

1. Download the update file from window syetem computer, then upzip it and copy the files into

SD card without any folder. Then please insert the SD card into GPS maps card slot.

The files also will be the same updated file :

2. Put ACC wire(red one) and BATT wire(yellow one) together, then connect it to positive power supply 12V;

Put GND wire(black one) to GND.

3. Turn on the head unit,it stuck on JOYING logo, please click "reset"( first time).

4. After the first time reset, the item will restart and it stuck on JOYING logo, please click" reset"(second time)

5. After the second time reset, the item will reboot and it stuck on JOYING logo, please click " reset"(third time)

6. After the third time reset, please don't power off the head unit and wait for a while to update the head unit.

Then watch this video to learn how to update the system: xxxxxxxxxxx

Please check whether it can appear the "Joying logo " and go on the processes we suggested .

Thanks for your time

Candy

Add joy to your car with Joying !

Please have a try . and then feedback us how it going on ?

Thanks

[Android Head-Units] edit:
Oh man... you made a big error telling them that you rooted the unit... rooting had nothing to do with the behavior at hand but it's enough to give them something to talk about and delaying to delivering a new unit.

What you should have done before telling them you have a warranty problem.

1. Start the default Joying File Manager go to the internal storage, select all, delete

2. Take out all the SD card and USB sticks and DON'T put them back

3. Reset the unit to defaults, that does not remove root but removes all the apps and settings

4. if the unit is still unstable and it seems related to heat... wait till it cools down

5. prepare a stick with the firmware that you have already on the unit for a reflash

6. flash the unit - now the root is gone - everything is back the way it was when you bought the unit

7. test for stability... if you still have issues that means it's not software it's hardware.... warranty time.
[Android Head-Units] idlt:
Thanks a lot man!

You have no idea how many times I searched for a way to restore back and wipe all data because I could still see the garbage in there even after a factory reset but couldn't find out how to.

I will follow your steps and then call it a day because it would have to be a heat issue at that point

I ts funny though that it didn't show up prior to root.

On the rooting issue now. I thought they provide a link on "how to root" on their blog....I didn't think I was doing something wrong by just rooting it. I didn't really get a chance to use the root access anyway! You would think they would provide a way to do a full back up in case something went wrong this way we didn't have to resort to rooting

thanks again. I will update the post when I have news

Any luck?

I'm dealing with the same scenario. I've researched a bit and found many instructions impossible to execute.

Plenty of the methods that are supposed to work seem contorted and overly complicated.

I'm scratching my head, wondering why it isn't a straightforward process involving flashing from download mode.

It's just gotta be that simple. As it is the unit I'm dealing with won't recognize from adb, so I'm limited.

IMO the info pointing to a solution is somewhere in a sea of malware and ad-laden apps and sites, now that having a custom ROM is more commonplace with the non-programmer end-user.

it does still work but dont forget if you try and fail and want to try again you must close odin, unplug your phone and then re-start odin and follow the steps.

as for what version you need to download that would depend on your carrier - that said - i downloaded and flashed the one for rogers canada and it worked even though im with chatr so the carrier may not matter so much? here are a couple of the canadian versions you can look for

found a couple threads and thanks to this site i am confident i will be able to unlock this device using odin or twrp or a combination of the two im not sure i will follow the instructions and repost here i see the key to skipping the frp is On your phone, Open Settings > Developer options > Enable OEM unlock and Enable USB debugging.

hopefully this will go smooth thanks to all of you

i cannot access the phones menus as it is stuck at the 'enter your previous email screen'

cannot access the phones internal memory so i cannot put twrp on there. in recovery mode it wont access the sd card i tried placing it there as well. sending it with adb gets a blocked custom binary by frp lock error.

any help would be appreciated i spent 7 hours on this last night and got nowhere

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGZACRO:
Hi everyone,

I have had OnePlus 1, 2 and 3T. Now I have Nomus S30. So I have had Android from v4 to v7 and noticed this in everyone I had.

I am from Lithuania, but I don't like the menu translation on android, so I use English language all the time. I see that I can not choose Voice Output in Lithuanian language on TTS settings, because there is no such choice of Lithuanian TTS.

But here is something interesting I found...

When I set Android language to Lithuanian, the google maps starts to speak in Lithuanian....

I wonder is it possible to capture the "hidden" Lithuanian TTS files and copy it to the default folder where all other TTS are, so that I could choose this TTS straight from the menu? Just a thought...
