not working....phone goes to bootloop ..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewa2jm:
I swear I read a thread about this very thing a few months back. Is anyone aware of a de-Googled ROM that keeps all/Most s-pen functions?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] matze19999:
there is no (good) aosp / google rom out there
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bober10113:
spen functionalities are only on touchwiz roms. i guess google apps could be stripped easily by the devs. removing or freezing them can easily be done by the end user, alot of apps allows a user to do this. usually it is the samsung stuff that is widely removed by devs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewa2jm:
I don't want to just disable, I want the whole framework gone. I'm currently on Nexus 6P running CopperheadOS, and I want to continue to have my system google free. Losing some bloatware is good too. I get what I need through F-Droid, a side load a few as necessary.

Anyway, I'll keep researching. I'm in no rush to replace my phone. I really like the Note, but I don't want to lose the greatness of the S-Pen...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Why?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jammol:
Have you taken a look at BK Disabler? It allows you to uninstall as well. Stripping the OS will be very difficult unless you went AOSP.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewa2jm:
Because I don't do Google, Apple, or Microsoft. I don't trust their policies and congress doesn't care to protect our personal data. They mine a ton of our data and make profit off of it, don't give us an opt out or opt in, and still charge is a premium anyway? No thank you.

You asked and I answered. Also, I don't care hear anyone's opinion otherwise, this is my opinion and you have yours. Let's leave it at that.

I'm fine with AOSP + Samsung whatever to keep the S-Pen. In all honesty, I have little hope for something functional like I want and do not have the skill to create my own ROMs at this point.

I'm also not going to pay the ridiculous amount CopperheadOS is charging for there Pixel devices. So, I'll likely go with a different android phone running AOSP and do the other security work myself... Albeit, slowly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jammol:
I thought CopperheadOS was also available as a custom Rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewa2jm:
It was for Nexus 5x & 6P. Starting with Pixel you have to buy the device from them. I don't think they've started on Pixel 2 yet. They tack on like $300 or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Wow. Little touchy, are we? Samsung makes a very nice flip phone. Even comes with a free tinfoil hat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewa2jm:
Ha ha. Not even close.

Not touchy at all. People just love to spout opinions and tell people to wear tinfoil hats under the guise of the anonymous internet when they wouldn't have the guts to do it IRL. It gets old quick. I respect we all have opinions, so keep yours to yourself unless asked for.

Simply put, I just care about my digital data and if anyone is going to make money off of it, it should be me, or I should be given a discount on products for a companies profits on the data said products take from me.

I could get all political, bit this isn't the place. So keep your comments about tinfoil hats to yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
All I asked was why. You couldve answered without getting hateful and telling people to keep their opinions to themselves. I just asked a simple question, you made assumptions about me, so you earned the tinfoil hat comment. Don't pick a fight, then get upset when one starts.

Maybe you shoyld loosen up your tinfoil hat a bit. I think its wrapped too tight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewa2jm:
Look asshat, the world isn't about you, but clearly you think it is. The comment was geared toward the inevitable troll. But you valiantly came through as the troll in true ashattery fashion and did exactly as expected. Congrats, you're a turd.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Thanks! I'm honored! I worked realky hard. The fact that I was able to bother you THIS MUCH through the internet makes me feel truly accomplished. You have lifted my spirits and encouraged me for the rest of the day. Gosh, what an honor.

LOLOLOLOLOL.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewa2jm:
You, sir, are most welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
WOW! Who cares... I knew Google was an ad company when they started as a search browser in the 90's. Not a big secret. It's how they make money. You got something to hide? And how to they charge you a premium. Google apps and services are free when you buy a phone. You are just a conspiracy theorist. You need to unplug for a while...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewa2jm:
They are an advertising company. That I do not dispute. The premium I speak of is on their devices, not on their free software. And no, not a conspiracy theorist. It is simple fact that they suck up as much data as they can to make profit from said data. A business model I'm not against if I had choice in the matter. I believe that our data should be ours be default, and then we OPT IN to have it taken for their profit. If we opt in, we should get a discount on devices. Hence, why I strip all the data sucking out of my phones and do my own thing. It's a matter of simply opinion. As I noted much earlier, I don't care to hear your thoughts on my opinions. I didn't ask, so if you don't have any answers or help to give, go find another thread to troll.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
You could use a non Google email and just never sign in on your device. The apps would be there but they wouldn't do much. As long as Google services never has your email from a fresh setup you could stick to just the Samsung eco system. There is no way to completely strip out the Google framework even if you did remove all their apps. They make android so they kind of got it cornered.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stewa2jm:
I really like the "cleanliness" (if you will) of an AOSP rom. My partner has a Galaxy S7 Edge, and Samsung's overlay is much better than previous iterations, so that I could handle. She really likes the phone too, and she's hard to please with phones.

However, it just seems that what I'm finding is that the NOTE 8 is probably not the phone that will meet my desires. I really like the design and functionality of the S-Pen, but it isn't essential. Time will tell. I'm not in a particular rush, so the search continues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
Yeah I know what you mean about aosp. That would be cool to have the best of the Samsung experience and aosp combined. I have found myself preferring Samsung apps over their Google counterparts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bober10113:
does aosp with samsung pen functionalities even exsist?

spen is touchwiz based therefore it probably never will be on aosp. if you mean to use the spen as a pointer and none of samsungs spen funtionalities then yes aosp should work. try lineage or resurrection remix roms.(outdated and some bugs)

regarding touchwiz, Lately i tried aurora rom and apart from playstore, it is stripped from anything google. i think aospwiz rom might also be one to try. anyways as you can see testing the few roms available is a sure way to find what you want.

asking and then receiving comments that might not strike you as pertinent or on pare with your views is a bit reaping what you sow. no need to get anal. :)

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] kacper111:
With Oreo it seems that the android id is unique to each app and does not change when you uninstall and reinstall (quote below). Unfortunately I have an app that is refusing to work properly on account but does work when installed on a guest account. I suspect this might be due to the app seeing the same android id. On the Pixel 2, changing android id using titanium backup does not seem to take effect and the android id remains the same on reboot. So I'm wondering if there are any methods out there that can modify the android id a particular app sees.

Thanks!

"For apps installed on a device running Android 8.0, the value of ANDROID_ID is now scoped per app signing key, as well as per user. The value of ANDROID_ID is unique for each combination of app-signing key, user, and device. As a result, apps with different signing keys running on the same device no longer see the same Android ID (even for the same user).

The value of ANDROID_ID does not change on package uninstall or reinstall, as long as the signing key is the same (and the app was not installed prior to an OTA to a version of Android 8.0)."

[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] johninsf:
Unsure when this started or if I just hadn't noticed but went I recently changed the default SMS sound I get a notification when turning off the U11+.

The default notification sound accompanies device shutdown or restart.

Is this a stock feature or have I inadvertantly turned this sound on?

Thoughts or suggestions on how to turn off if it is possible on stock?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] kenosis:
Let me check with mine later. Sound could be built-in in boot animation.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] johninsf:
Thank you! The HTC jingle definitely plays at start up.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] d.cortez:
@kenosis is right, audio.wav is embedded in a folder named part4 inside the boot animation file located in /system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip. i opened the zip on my laptop, renamed the audio.wav file to audio.wav_ copied the updated zip to my U11+, backed up the original hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip_, pasted the new version in the folder, set permissions and waa-la, no more boot-up sounds!
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] kenosis:
Good to know that you have disabled it.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] johninsf:
Thank you for sharing this. This is helpful but not what I am seeking.

The issue with my phone relates to shutting down the device which triggers the default notification sound(not HTC jingle). Is this stock behavior?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] d.cortez:
whoops! yeah, i totally misunderstood (or misread, lol). definitely not having that issue.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] m3johan:
Mine is quiet both on startup and shutdown.

Flick Launcher notification access was turned on - turned off did the trick.

Interesting setting. Not easy to figure out what was causing it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Babykillar:
Hello Guys,

5 days ago I bought a HTC Kaiser in a Dutch Vodafone shop.

My native language is German and I also speak English - BUT NOT DUTCH!

Tried to use the German ROMS that shared here (Vodafone and the cooked HTC one) but its not possible (error 262).

When I try to use HardSPL I get the white screen. Tried to use JumpSPL 1.56 and 1.93 from the Kaiser - got the BLUE/GREEN/WHITE Screen and also the USB - unplugged the Kaiser and plugged it again - no effect. Reset the Kaiser after this (battery out and in) and tried again to use a ROM flash - same error. After JumpSPL the Active Sync could not find the Kaiser anymore (after 1 minute) and so I had to reset the Kaiser.

Is this wrong and do I have to wait more time? Or is it just doesnt working?

Please help me. I dont want to learn Dutch! :D

Thanks in advance

Babykillar

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] 42o247:
i have tried most of the different oreo and nougat roms but my xt1687 drops out of lte when i am in call on anything except the stock rom. i backed up the efs from the latest stock rom and tried restoring it with no success. also i tried flashing the fsg.mbn from the stock rom and nothing. how can i flash the radio and modem from the stock rom or is there another solution?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Custom ROMs do not replace the radio firmware (NON-HLOS and fsg.mbn) and you are on the stock radio firmware... The issue isn't with the radio firmware, but with the ROM itself or a setting, or your carrier is rejecting a VoLTE call because the device signature is invalid (guessing here). I don't really have an answer, but just letting you know that ROMs do not replace the radio firmware.

I would suggest picking a ROM where others have noted that VoLTE works, and posting in that specific ROM thread for assistance.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Neriumz:
Check your charger to see the output spec. On my Dell 30W charger, it says 20V/12V/5V~1.5A/2A/2A. So it can be used to charge 5V devices, but not as fast as dash on 1+5t.

1) Are you simply trying to deny access to a person or persons of the Application in question ?

2) Are you trying to hide something nefarious... that your Wife / Girlfriend (Boyfriend) / Kids can't see due to embarassment ?

If your choice is: *Number 1* then you can do it by going to: Settings / Security & Privacy/ App Lock.. Just chose your code.

Rooting at this stage of the game is a waste of time... the updates you are about to receive far outweigh what you can do with root.. even if it gives you access to something that can gesture hide your app.

Try the pinch out gesture on the home screen and you will get a vault like pop up where you can add any app to hide it. There is no password protection though.

does anyone know where this file is located? I'd really live to make it something static so the normal level is always the same.
