[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Fozzy_Bear:
Apologies if I have posted this thread in wrong forum board. Its not specifically about how to root a device but and overall view of temporarily rooting a device in order to remove all other apps to use it for one purpose.

I have an Archos FamilyPad 2 which is stuck on a 4.1.1 Jellybean Android image and is really slow to use as a tablet. However its ideal to use as an e-reader using the Kindle app. The problem with the tablet is that the Plays Store app keeps updating and then eventually breaks and keeps crashing I think because the image is not updated. I want to download and install the Kindle app and then uninstall all other apps so that it is only an e-Reader device with just the Kindle app running. This is for a child to read in large print due to an eye sight problem and we don't want him going on the web or YouTube or downloading games etc

I "Think" I have successfully rooted the device using King Root and I think that I can now remove apps using JuMobile system app remover.

However King Root has lots of pop up and inserts ads on the lock screen etc.

My questions are:-

1) Once I have removed all the apps that are safe to remove can I then remove King Root which will return the device to an un-rooted state and will the removed apps still be uninstalled or does JuMobile only Kill the apps rather than remove them?

2) Will the factory restore still operate i.e. if I need to return the tablet to its normal state will the system restore still work?

3) Can I remove the Play Store App to prevent it updating and crashing the tablet all the time? Alternatively can I temporarily Kill the app and prevent it from starting (and updating) till I need it?

3) Are there any apps modules I definitely SHOULD NOT uninstall, e.g. you dont need to go onto the Play Store to buy kindle books as these are pushed to the device by Amazon as long as the tablet can be seen on the internet. So I need to ensure connectivity is maintained.

I was considering removing:- Browsers, Google apps (like gmail, maps, talk music messenger. Plus magazines etc etc)

Any advice would be gratefully received

Hi guys!

I would like to use LineageOS with MicroG apps but keep the normal Sony style. So is there a package that includes all the stock Sony apps like launcher, home screen, camera, keyboard and so on? OK, I don´t need all of them but I guess I just can´t get them on PlayStore?!

Tried to find something with the search and also internet search but couldn´t find anything useful except an xda thread that SEEMS to have what I want but it´s intended to use on non Sony phones (and also only 7.0):

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benyben123:
Hi.

So it seems that for some odd reason, SULTAN (dev) decided to lower the speaker volume in his ROM.

I found THIS LINK which should help:

But - and pardon my noobishness here - I don't seem to find directory.

1. Do I need a special file explorer to reach this directory?

2. Do I need to be rooted (i am not)?

Thanks!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Ak:
Obviously! You're making changes in system.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benyben123:
Thanks! That's a no no for me. I am not willing to root my phone.

I guess a different rom then.

It confuses me why would a developer REDUCE the earpiece volume.

Any outside noise during a call, and I can't hear a word being said to me by the other side. This is major deal-breaker. Weird. Perhaps I am missing something as to why was this done by the dev. :eek::rolleyes:

Sultan reverted that commit 'cause it was causing issues. :/

first good morning/evening and thank you in Advance for your help

*excuse my english isn't my native language

well everything is said in the title but maybe i should explain more :

this sd card 8gb is not mine it was to my friend brother(it won't be detected by his phone) and he just gave it to me and here i am trying to repair it (so i know nothing about this sd card )

all i know is that it's detected by my computer and it work fine but isn't detected at ll if mounted in any android phone (tried on lg k10 2017 and samsung s5) i don't think it's dead since it work fine on pc :confused:

here's what i tried to repair it :

windows fat32 format

hdd low format tool

chkdsk (show no error)

EaseUS Partition Master (format and check partition)

thanks again
[General Questions and Answers] Nonta72:
Try FAT (not FAT32).
[General Questions and Answers] pr1jker:
Just reformat it
[General Questions and Answers] diabolo96:
thank you for you quick reply

i can't format to FAT because i can't find the option in the windows format utility n'or in EaseUS Partition Master

edit :

or do you mean exFAT
[General Questions and Answers] diabolo96:
that's what i did multiple times :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Nonta72:
In your post, you mentioned FAT32 which is clearly not "FAT" (FAT16 if you want).
[General Questions and Answers] diabolo96:
it's an 8gb sd card and from what i've read on internet it's impossible to format it to FAT16

and i don't have the option to format it to FAT in windows format utility i can only format it to NTFS-FAT32-exFAT
[General Questions and Answers] Nonta72:
Right, my bad!

Well, maybe it's an hardware issue with the SD Card. If it doesn't get detected by any phone but in PC, I don't have an explanation to that.

Let's wait and see if someone else has another idea.
[General Questions and Answers] diabolo96:
while searching on the web for a solution i found someone with the same problem and someone answered that maybe a partition on the sd card is damaged and that the pc still can detecte it but don't read the damaged parte while the phones just can't detecte it

the probleme is that it Chkdsk and EaseUS Partition Master sector check show no problem :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Nonta72:
In case of multiple partitions, EaseUS software would have shown you all of them.

I had this problem a few years ago with my Samsung tab 3 and the solution that worked for me was formatting your micro SD card inside your phone, this automatically formats it to FAT 32. See if that works.

This is a Pixel 2 Mod that gives you a default Pixel rounded icon and Blue UI as well. This mod is an overlay and does not trigger the framework-res.apk.

Features:

- Default pixel rounded icon (use pixel launcher, lawnchair, or any other launcher that support this)

- ‎Blue UI

- ‎Blue Settings icon

- Dark theme (android 8.1 opp 5 extracted from pixel 2 vendor/overlay folder)

- ‎Works with substratum

- ‎It will disable NavBar by default but you can enable it.

Instructions:

- Flash it from TWRP and clear data of your launcher (it is recommended to clean flash the ROM on the first install)

- ‎Re-flash after every ROM update (just dirty flash)

Should work on any other 8.0.0 ROMs as well, since it was even taken from another device (please test and report)

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Jeffcyb:
Hi there,

My OnePlus One is " dying". Screen starting to come off on the right side, battery going down fast, and sometimes not even charging with the cable pluged in.

I'm looking for a good phone, not to expensive and the Mi6, like the mi5s and s+ seemed right.

Though i looked through the forum and seen there's many threads with both hardware and software issues. For the 3 phones.

So is the mi6 a good phone to buy in all objectivity or should i go for a note 2 even if i don't like the screen, or even a totally différent brand ?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ZackoFF96:
I've been using my mi6 from July and I've got to say it's been a blast! great hardware for the cheap price, software keeps on improving with MIUI 9, and I came from one plus x, boy what a wonderful decision I made
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Jeffcyb:
Cool, thank you for your reply. :)

Is the audio OK for both music and calls ?

Because i've red that there is issues with that but don't know if it's coming from Miui or the speakers themselves.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] G4B33:

Thanks a lot both of you for your replies. :D
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] ZackoFF96:

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] McDubstep05:
I've been using the Mi 6 since August and it has been great. I haven't had any problems with this phone. The audio quality is great for both music and calls. The camera is also good but I don't use it very often so I really can't judge. I would recommend this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] kolembo:
Ah, the Mi 6 is a complete Joy to use! The Ceramic version is very sexy...I sleep with it at night!

The phone is fast, smooth, no problems with Stable Global Rom - except I have to fight to get out to accept Bluetooth sometimes - Camera is excellent in good light and passable in dim, the speakers are almost as good as the HTC u11.

I use both the OnePlus 3T and the HTC u11 and find myself reaching for the Mi 6 by default.

Of course you can't beat the OnePlus for updates....but it's an excellent phone for the price, you won't be disappointed.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Jeffcyb:
Haha great sounds cool :)

Yeah updates are always a tricky part i guess, but if miui doesn't fit me, i guess i could go for lineage or something else ^^

I used rarely bluetooth si it's OK.

What about the wifi ? Is it good or got some drops or disconnections for no reasons ?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] kolembo:
WiFi is solid actually...very strong and good lock and very accurate. GPS is tenacious...it won't let go where others go cross-eyed!

If you can, get the ceramic... Prices have come down. I've seen complaints about how quickly the glass scratches. And it feels like liquid in the hand.....:cool:
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Jeffcyb:
Well i got lucky because i found a code to get the mi6 64gb at 300€, though i dont know if it's the ceramic version.

I'll see. I planned on getting nillkin tempered glass and tpu nature case to cherish that phone good :)
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Lork Scorguar:
Don't have any problem with mine, really happy to bought it. I'm coming from MI4 and Mi6 is really impressive.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Dobsgw:
If you like the Mi 6 then you should definitely get it. It was beyond my expectations from the moment I took it out of the box. THAT WEIGHT!

I'll forever be miserable picking up those poxy light phones like the Pixel.

You can feel the quality in the phone. It's like a liquid dream to the touch even in a case.

I only have the glass but I can only imagine the Ceramic is deluxe so you will be happy with either one.

If you like One Plus 5 and you don't mind the jelly screen effect (I've never tested one) then maybe it's more for you.

It's slightly bigger and as mentioned I think updates are definitely more frequent.

MIUI is actually pleasant. People don't get on with it but to me it's the closest to any of the custom ROMs I used on other phones without even rooting.

And yeah there's plenty of ROMs for Mi 6 now.

I hope you're happy with whatever decision!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
Hi,

I am still waiting for my Mate 10 to arrive, but since I am currently also am using Huawei phone (p10 lite to be exact) I had a question regarding lock screen notifications and screen time out..

Phone is setup to wake up screen when a notifications comes (screen locks and passwords set to NONE..so the screen is un-lockable with power button + swipe or received notification + swipe), but the problem is that phone locks up too fast for me to do a quick reply. I want to able to quick reply messages without opening the app.

Here's how it happens in action:

1. Notification/SMS is received and screen wakes up;

2.You expand the received notification and hit Reply underneath it;

3. Start typing your replying and baaaam, screen is timing out as you type it as long as you exceed ~15 seconds which is the approximate time during which screen is timing out automatically after waking up the screen no matter if you interact with it or start typing reply..

So annoying.. Basically its not the 15 second limit which is annoying, annoying and illogical seems the fact that screens goes into auto timeout althought you are interacting with screen (typing a reply)..

Does this happen also on Mate 10/EMUI 8.0 Android 8.0 the same way as it does on p10 lite EMUI 5.1, android 7.0?

Anyway to fix this? Extend time out time on lock screen?

This is not in any way related to general screen time out under Display/Sleep (sleep turns off when idle), so please don't waste space and suggest this as a solution :D.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
Bump.

Can someone with mate 10 check this? Whether screen time outs in ~15seconds if you reply on a notification (sms, Whatsapp) without unlocking the phone and replying through quick reply option.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] tboy2000:
If I choose to quick reply from an SMS that has appeared on my lockscreen I have to unlock the phone before I can reply. If I now unlock my phone I am still presented with the quick reply SMS notification and if I reply the screen does not turn off while I am using it. Is that what you mean?

The notification wakes up the screen for around 11 seconds before the display turns off.

Update: Ah yes I read you mean with no lockscreen password. Yes in that case the phone still times out while you are replying and is under 15 seconds.

However why on earth would anyone not have a password on their lockscreen amazes me. What if you lost your phone or it was stolen? There is so much sensitive and personal information on our phones nowadays. Obviously it's none of my business what you do with your phone but with the fingerprint sensor being instantaneous to unlock the phone, having a password is a non issue now. ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
:D i like the unlock process to be as fast as possible and I have never lost a phone. Even if I would someone would gain access to my google stuff, but as soon I block the sim card + change the google password trespass is over ;), but thanks for checking it out for me.

I guess with mate 10 replying from lock screen will be different, meaning that I will have to use fingerprint either way.. if you receive a notification and the screen lights up you cant use quick reply unless you hit the fingerprint scanner right? But doesnt that (hitting fingerprint scanner) automatically bring you passed the lockscreen to “desktop”? Basically lockscreen notifications are only possible if you access the phone with power button right? But then again you wont be able to reply from lockscreen if you disable fingerprint as lock security alltogether..

I just love to quick reply from lockscreen, when I am busy with other stuff on my pc desk..notificiation just comes up and without actually picking up the phone i quick reply all my working day with phone lying on the desk knowimean!?!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] tboy2000:
That's the beauty of a front facing fingerprint scanner. You don't have to pick up the phone to unlock it.

So... the phone is on your desk. The screen wakes up because you get a message on your lockscreen. You swipe down on the message and tap reply. You immediately get a pop of your pin code screen. Instead of typing your pin, lightly tap your fingerprint sensor. Immediately the pin screen vanishes and the keyboard pops up with the text field automatically highlighted for you to start typing your message straight away. You don't even have to tap the text field to position the cursor, it's already there. When you are done either let the phone screen time out naturally or press the power button.

So you see the difference between having a password on your lockscreen (with fingerprint assigned) and not having a password, to be able to reply to lockscreen messages is wait for it........... ONE TAP. ? I mean that's the equivalent of adding an extra character to your message. You don't even have to press and hold the fingerprint scanner. It's so super fast you can barely touch it.

Make sure to assign your first fingers to fingerprints for easy unlocking on the desk. I have both my thumbs and both my first fingers assigned so I don't have to even think about using the correct hand depending on what I am doing.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
And its not timing out as long as you type your message, right ? Because now phone is basically unlocked and it just stays in the area of expanded notifications since you have chosen to quick reply followed by fingerprint and so as soon as you are done and send the message it brings you to desktop. This is what I wanted to know. I tested this on p10 lite (pin+fingerprint) and its working, meaning screen no longer fades out during those default 15 seconds although you interact with the screen (type the reply with quick reply). Such security option (no fingerprint, no password/pin) as i use on p10 lite, because of fingerpirnt on the back, wont be used by me on mate 10, since mate 10 has fingerprint on the front (easy to reach), so I guess I wont have no longer the issue with screen timing out when I quick reply a message from notification panel without actually unlocking the phone.

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
It works for me. Fingerprint disabled with power button/home button and swipe afterwards as an option to unlock the phone phone and take you to home screen ->

1. Notification arrives screen wakes up (Settings -> Apps & Notifications->Notifications & status bar ->Notifications turn on screen (enabled);

2. I pull the quick reply option swiping on notification from top to bottom -> Reply and Mark as Read appears while the notification slides up until quick toggles which come down next to notification windows;

3. Hit quick reply and start typing..

But due to this screen time out thing I wrote in this topic I am now

using the phone with no security at all, meaning hitting home or power button on a switched off phone will take you directly to home screen (Settings->Developer Options ->Screen lock (disabled) and that allows me to quick reply on received messages from the notification/quick toggle panel with no time limit (screen wont time out unless you do not interact with the screen).
