[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] noXcape:
Don't be fooled by the defects you see in xda. I sure that they are shining brighter because usually ppl don't complain when it's issue free... Every thing is on par with the pixel 2 when it comes to build quality if I compare it to my old s8 and my Moto z2 force that i have.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dubear:
Great points! I definitely love the s8 screen and it's going to be weird to adjust back to the deep bezels (I think the transition would have been better if I went from the 6p directly to the p2), but like you said, I miss the pure android experience.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dubear:
Yeah I haven't heard too many p2 complaints vs the 2xl which is a big reason why I decided on the p2. But I was also on the fence because I thought I would notice the difference in screen quality/resolution between the s8 and p2 (1080 vs 1440).
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] dubear:
Did you notice the difference in screen quality/resolution from the s8 to the p 2?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jamgam:
Samsung is more saturated which I don't mind. I'm not a screen junkie. I miss a little bit of screen real estate. I liked the P2XL screen except for the blue. that was awful. I still have my S8+. It will come down to bluetooth in the next week if I return the P2

. If that doesn't work, wiping internal seems to be the only other choice. In that case, I hope you have a backup. I guess you've figured this out, but it a good practice to remove the security lock before switching ROMs.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] wojtekoxx:
I bought this Redmi 4X yesterday, it asked for update and I did it. I'd like more of a stock andro experience but I'm not yet sure if I won't lose some camera capabilities (I never had a smartphone with camera that makes people look better before). So I read that Xiaomi gives different MIUI versions to download and supports this fully. But then I learn that "older" version of MIUI that I have (MIUI 7 vs MIUI 8 I have) has newer android 7 compared to my android 6. Why is that?

Is there any consensus on least bloatware on Redmis? Also, is MIUI the same as rom, or it's just an addon installed on top of AOSP? Sorry for asking such questions, but in my case I always understand things after I already have flashed some roms, but don't have any backup phone in case I brick my phone.

6.0.1 MMb29M android

MIUI global 8.5 Stable

I just got my fire 10 couple of days ago and i was successfully able to adb uninstall some of the amazon apps.

but the next morning, the os updated 5.6 and after a couple of successful adb uninstall, it suddenly gave me an error: "Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]"

it seems like some of the app can be uninstalled but most cant be.

is anyone able to do this on os 5.6?

and are there any other ways to disable some of the apps?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woundedworld:
I did the same, device shipped with 5.4.1.0, I uninstalled a bunch of system apps via adb (apparently not the correct ota app), came home from work and saw that it had updated to 5.6.0.0 and attempted to uninstall more apps (the correct ota one) and received the same error. I had successfully installed the Play Store and Nova Launcher prior but I'm worried about future updates breaking the nice set up I currently have. Here's hoping someone can get us root access. If not, I'm content with the tablet in it's current state. Great for $100.

The following two commands worked on Fire HD8 (7th Gen) with OS 5.3.3.0. It should work for Fire HD10 with OS 5.4.0.0 :

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatenjoghurt:
On FireOS 5.6.0.0 it will give you FAILURE.

But you can instead use two following commands:

pm clear --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota

pm clear --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota

Tested it on my FireHD10 (2017) with FireOS 5.6.0.0 and it seemed it worked :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Joe:
"Clear" just clears user data for the packages, but leaves both intact. Meaning, this doesn't uninstall anything.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyates:
No, but it's helpful if you connect to wifi and it starts downloading an ota package.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Joe:
well, seeing that we're on 5.6.0.0, it might be too late for that as well :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyates:
Well in case you want to prevent future updates, obviously. Or for anyone who isn't you that wants to prevent updating to 5.6.0.0.

Side note: I'm on 5.4.0.1 on my HD 8 (2017). I can't uninstall OTA & Forced OTA apks, but I have them blocked with No Root Firewall. I also have lock screen Special Offers blocked with No Root Firewall. I have Nova Launcher, Hijacklauncher v3, and Google Play Store. Is there any reason I should stay at 5.4.0.1, or does it not make a difference if I upgrade to 5.6.0.0? I'd still have Google Play, Nova Launcher, hijacklauncher, and blocked special offers, so what am I gaining by staying at 5.4.0.1?

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyates:
I don't think it is. It shows up to the system as a fake vpn, but I don't believe it reroutes that data anywhere. The app hasn't been updated since November of 2014, but it still just works as intended.

I get the same thing to, but I'm on 5.4.0.1. The play store doesn't have the permissions to overwrite the kindle app that comes on the phone. I'm guessing there's nothing we can do about it at this point?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech6:
Ok, that makes sense. Thank you for your input.

Kindle updated again and I see where the Kindle app has updated from version 10... to version 14.... What's interesting about this is although Amazon has updated the Kindle tab, it does not have the same features as the Kindle app offered on the Playstore which is version 8.... Supposedly, we can chose a dark or light theme among other things. However, the Amazon update did not have those features in the updated Kindle app.

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Infinitiv:
Screen in my J5 2017 broke and I cannot unlock it anymore so I tried to make a backup via PC. I blindly rooted my phone and installed TWRP, which went OK. Then I tried to use ADB with no avail – the device isn’t listed. I got all the drivers and everything and all what shows up in the device manager is "MTP device" so I assume that my phone is stuck in MTP mode and that’s why it is not recognised by ADB. Can anybody confirm it? Does MTP mode prevents from using ADB? Also, I don’t have USB debug mode enabled but after doing some research I found out that it won’t be necessary – I’d just need to boot into TWRP and use ADB. So the only thing keeping me from making a backup of my phone is that the device isn’t listed in ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Haxomen:
You need to have USB debug unlocked to use ADB even in recovery
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Infinitiv:
This blog entry states otherwise (around paragraph 3). Is it model‐specific or is the blog author simply wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Haxomen:
He does not say that your USB debug can be turned off. He does not even mention it
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Infinitiv:
Yes he is. The whole point of this blog entry is that he didn’t have USB debug enabled and he worked around it to make his backup. He describes how he felt hopeless when he found out that USG debugging is disabled (see the third picture in the blog entry) and that he had to manually turn the phone:

So, yeah… It seems that he did everything without USB debbuging enabled. So my question still stand – is he wrong or is it model‐specific? Or maybe I’ve done something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Haxomen:
If he managed to do it, try it yourself, maybe you will be able.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Infinitiv:
As I stated in the first post of this thread I tried it with no avail and now I’m looking for some help from people with serious knowledge on the topic.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Haxomen:
I tried to use adb on my J5 2016 within TWRP 3.1.1 recovery, while USB debug was off, and it worked. But it did not work on a previous, unstable TWRP version. So it is probably due to your recovery, not your phone. What TWRP are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Infinitiv:
I’ve used TWRP 3.1.1 from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-j5/sam...pment/twrp-twrp-recovery-j5-pro-2017-t3668266

The thing is that my device don’t get listed in ADB no matter whichever mode it’s in – download, recovery nor "normal". And I’ve checked on several PCs.

Windows recognises my phone as unknown MTP device, so I assume that my phone has MTP mode enabled and I’m stuck with it. That shouldn’t be the case since I tried to plug it in while it’s in recovery mode, but maybe you’ll find this information useful.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Infinitiv:
I assume that since I didn’t quote you in my previous post you didn’t get any notification – fixed it now. I’ve answered your question in the post above. Any thoughts?

You flip the toggle under OEM unlocking...

Unlocking the bootloader is a standard, supported feature of this device.

2) Tap until you unlock Developer options in Settings.

3) Go into Developer options.

4) Enable OEM unlocking.

There really isn't anything special here as far as the bootloader is concerned.

Now, TWRP, root, and SIM unlock, those would be useful to figure out.
