Hi first of all Mods if this isnt the right place for this question please move it to the appropriate place.

Trying to get some help here deciding for a phone for my wife, she has been an iPhone user for many years and with the recent iOS 11 issues giving her 6S Plus, shes finally convinced on going to Android.

I have suggested the OnePlus 5T since its as Vanila android as she can have with the exception of the Pixel line up which she is not a fan of.

Trying to see other alternatives in terms of price range and performance that can match the OP5T that'll be under the $800 range, I have suggested the Mate 10 since I have a Mate 9 and have fairly positive experience with it but since the Huawei & AT&T deal was cut, that was out of the question. The Honor V10 looks good on paper but I will wait on it as well, LG V30 is a maybe. She was also looking at the S8 as another alternative as well.$800 would be her prefer limit to spend

Looking forward for your guy's suggestions. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o_live:
I successfully installed multiple TWRP versions and ROMs on my P3100.

TWRPs: 50% of them (latest versions) show a visually "offset" display, like "expecting" a bigger screen. Touch won't work in those cases.

ROMs: tried lineage 13, slim 6 and ua_espresso3g (AOSP). All installed and booted without error. But all of them are visually "offset", like "expecting" a bigger screen. Touch won't work.

Do these ROMs (and some TWRPs) "believe" they are running on a p5100 (common ROM and TWRP), where the screen is actually "bigger" (more pixels)?

I'm completely stuck …

Thank you for your help

Use device specific TWRP.

Use AnyKernel for your device, always to be flashed right after the ROM.

Would I still be able to update my software without issues in my Galaxy s9 for instance after removing bloat via this method?? If yes, would it bring the apps back??
[Android General] Aakshat:
Yes you will be able to to update your device without any issue.

No your app will not be back unless the app's apk is present in the update package.

Hi,

Do you have any ideea how to re-install an app uninstalled by miskate?

Sooo to reinstall and app, you will need to factory default your device

Is there a command to enable apps without factory reset?
[Android General] genhen:
I would say

1. Download from android themselves:

2. Extract the .zip file somewhere on your computer and add that folder to your windows PATH variable so you can reference it from anywhere using command prompt (cmd.exe).

I had to do it twice, because I didn't turn off auto update in Galaxy Apps and didn't uninstall Secure Folder before I started. I'm not 100% of the connection, but somehow Bixby came back, but I uninstalled Secure Folder, turned off Auto Update, and it worked great. They got root for my device like two days later, so kind of pointless, but it helped a lot! Thanks! :good:

I think he messaged me on Telegram awhile ago and he got it done, but just a quick note for anyone coming across this post using Android Debugging to uninstall apps:

It's important to understand that even though these apps are preinstalled, they are still User apps. When you run the uninstall command you are only uninstalling user access.

These programs, while no longer running in the background, are by no means gone from the root folder. This is why a factory reset will bring them right back. Until SU access is achieved, you'll never be totally free of them.
[Android General] Tuntu:
Yep, maybe the disable-user is a better option in many cases.

The term 'pm' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the

spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
[Android General] calbertrick:
In linux, 1st type "adb start-server", then "adb devices", then once output is affirmative, "adb shell" results in "<your_device>:/ $", instead of "you@YourComputer:~$". Once you're in the shell, you're in the phone, virtually. ADB isn't usually found in /system/bin (unless you installed adb on your phone to use as host via usb-otg...Thanx, Osmosis!).

"pm uninstall... , blah blah" is all you need, no `bridge` since you're on the same side.
[Android General] mariosx:
You have to "adb shell" first. And then enter the pm commands.

[Android General] chrccruz:
Hi All,

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of packages that can be disabled/uninstalled on stock android without dangerous consequences? The objective is to "use android without google".

There are several links explaining how to perform it with ADB, but none listing which packages can be disabled/uninstalled.

I got a CAT S41. Since no one was able to root it, I guess I have no other option instead of disable/uninstall google packages. Im also aware it is not enough to have a google-free mobile, but well, it is all I can do.

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] chrccruz:

I'm wanting to install a specific ROM on my device and it has Chrome built into it.. which I'm trying to remove. I used pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome but the app still shows up in the app list, though says it's uninstalled. How would I go about removing it entirely? I pretty much just want no record of it on here if possible. Kudos in advance!
[Android General] Nastrahl:
It's not possible without root unfortunately.
[Android General] ProoN:
This device is rooted. How would I go about doing it?
[Android General] Nastrahl:
It's normal then, since you uninstalled only for the user 0 (you if you are the only one using the device)

In that case, just a "pm uninstall packagename" command without any argument should work and uninstall it definitely (to be confirmed since I'm not using a rooted device).

(FYI the -k is for if you want to keep cache and data for the app you are uninstalling).
[Android General] loopypalm:
what is the command to remove the app completly (not only user 0) ???

adb shell service call package 131 s16 com.abc.xyz i32 0 i32 0

Before i start sorry about my poor english.. :D

ok, so i was trying to hard reset my k-jam with a very low battery (i think the battery is dead), It was shutted down in the middle of the progress and i needed to install a new rom.

The battery was dead, so i bought a new battery from E-Bay (2800 mAh, i think that before the first use it's need to be fully charged but i didn't charged it very much so it is possible that i killed it :confused: )

I was trying to install the wizard love rom but it wrote error 264: connection...

finally i installed the rom Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 and then it was always stuck on the IPL\SPL screen and the OS didn't start...

So i decided to try install other rom.. i was trying to install button rom and when it was on 85% the device was shutted down.. probably the battery was empty.. i connected the device to USB and the orange led wasn't lighted.. after a couple of minutes the device was turned on (i wasn't touching anything) at the bootloader and after another couple of minutes it shutted down again... if i keep the device connected to USB, it's happened again and again - turn on and after couple of minutes shut down.. if i try to shut down the device when it's on, it's shutted down and after 2 seconds the orange led is poke out (light for a second) and the device turned on (at the bootloader) again... i think that probably the device is charging only when is shutted down, and then it's turn on until the battery is empty again, but i don't know if i'm right...

What can i do? is it possible that i killed my new battery?

Thank in advance and i'm sorry again about the english :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zabardast_1:
First of all,get the battery charged with 'wall charger',it won't charge in bootloaders and with usb cable with pc.It'll only charge via usb cable in a working OS.As its below the retention charge,it'll only get charged with wall mains charger.

Which is your device a G3 or G4 phone,post the IPL/SPL.of the phone here.

Cheers!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gilnis2:
I have G3, after i tried to install the button rom it's desplay the following IPL\SPL:

IPL: 1.05

SPL: 2.16

probably the battery is not charging because i'm trying to charge it with the USB cable from the bootloaders without a working OS and that's the problem... so i will buy a wall charger and i'll see..

thank you very much!! :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gilnis2:
OK, i bought a wall charger and i charged the battery..

i've tried re-installing the button rom and it was successfully complete.

but now, when i turn on the device it's desplay the IPL\SPL screen (GSM and OS too) with the beer picture (of the rom) and stay like that.. the OS doesn't start.. :(

Any idea?? :confused:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gilnis2:
I just want to remind that i installed the Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102 rom before, and it was about the same problem (stuck on the IPL/SPL screen).. and also, when i'm trying to hard-reset it writes "format faild"...

Is my device dead? :confused:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't need to reflash twrp at the end.
