Without root

Is there a way to do it without a root? Like this used to work https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/getting-rid-galaxy-s8-navigation-bar-t3659742

Check out my comment. Think I have found a solution now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] OkayGK:
Hey thx, it worked. This will do for now.

I do have space on the keyboard just like you do. Hopefully someone comes along who can fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] penguinthatflew:
I always ended up spacing out space under the keyboard in the other older method anyway so didn't really notice. I find it's more natural to type a bit higher up.

If it's helped please do check out my thread I made on the method and thumbs it up for others :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] aderrick:
Hey everyone, I actually found a way to remove status bar completely and not have the space under the keyboard. It requires ADB so you'll need a computer with ADB drivers and us debugging enabled on your device. Depending on your situation (what kind of navigation you want to use; OnePlus gestures, Xhome bar etc) this might not work. I currently use OnePlus gestures. There's a setting you enable to remove the navigation bar but you need to give the app ADB access. You'll as well need an app to enable immersion (I use systemui tuner) The result is no navigation bar. This is the only thing I've got working well for me and OnePlus gesture app can be customized a lot.

I hope this helped, and if anyone needs clarification I'll give it.

I got bored, and made this simple animation for the LG G6 (you could probably install it on many other phones aswell, but the numbers and info are for the LG G6 (US997))

simplest way to install is to use "Bootanimation for Superuser" on the play store, if you have any requests or questions, feel free to ask. :)

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] patrykqopos:
Hi guys,

I bricked my phone trying to dowgrade my phone using SD card and update.app files.

My phone has unlocked bootloader with TWRP recovery and unfortunatelly turned OFF USB debugging.

I have copied rollback package to sdcard and entered Software Upgrate Mode with Vol+ Vol- and power keys. After getting 100% my phone rebooted and now stays in menu with warning text that my phone has been unlocked. I'm trying all the options i have in this menu but my phone always frooze on sceen saying "Your device is booing now...". I can also open fastboot menu but fastboot command prompt says: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) I think reason of this error is blocked debugging . My Question is if is there any chance to turn on debugging in bricked phone or any other method to flash stock firmware or recovery ?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] melendi:
Did you first use Rollback package (about 100MB)? And afterwards whole software dload method?

It is odd, because after correct procedure your bootloader will be LOCKED not UNLOCKED as you wrote...
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] patrykqopos:
I only used first (the one you write about) out of two packages, i think bootloader probably will lock after succesfull boot procedure, my phone only restart into boot menu after aplying first pack and stuck there.

This is link to photo of this menu (delete space).

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] melendi:
After rollback package you should flash this one:

https://mega.nz/#!kFhnEA6S!OjP6yXFtliK4XDRHLNIAKgxpf0gmhEeksDr_fjja0oY

I do not remember if you have to unzip it but anyway, put it on SD card in dload folder and perform [Power off, Vol +,Vol-]. When screen blackens release only Power button. That should do the trick. Your bootloader will be LOCKED.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] patrykqopos:
I didn't write clearly but of course I've tried to flash the second pack, I've tried two different versions and yours, but phone only freezes at this screen.

ht tp://oi63.tinypic.com/vo94sl.jpg
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] melendi:
Okay, I see now. Which was the second build number you mentioned? Do you have EVA-L09C432? From which ROM did you do the Rollback procedure, custom or stock?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] patrykqopos:
I was on C432, I tried downgrade from official B391 ROM. Rollback packs which I used were from trusted Polish forum (I made this two times before and everything was good). Both are with B182 firmware. Problem is that I can not force phone to run recovery, probably something messed up because of TWRP which was installed.
[Android Auto General] Pixege:
Hi, is there a chance to use two phones at the same time? Every day I use the iPhone, but I would like to be able to use Google Maps on the Discovery Pro screen in a VW Passat. Is it possible to connect an Android phone with Android Auto, which will display Google maps to me, at the same time be connected via bluetooth from the iPhone to be able to call from it? I am currently using MirrorLink, but this service works very poorly and slowly. Apple CarPlay is not an option, their maps are miserable. Thanks for help.
[Android Auto General] Pixege:
Ok, no one wrote back, but I found a solution.

I have Xperia Z5 Compact, on which I made root.

I have permanently turned off the Bluetooth sharing service. After installing Android Auto, I went through all the configuration steps. The service started working on the car screen without disconnecting the connected iPhone X via bluetooth.

The sound and picture are sent via a usb cable. When someone calls the music pauses, and when the conversation ends it plays again. It is a perfect combination if CarPlay is not enough, and we don't want to stop using the iPhone.
[Android Auto General] lukesan:
Thx for the interesting post and especially to come back with a solution. A real strange thing that people actually do follow ups.

I am also interested in this. Having multiple phones I would leave 1 in the car just for Android Auto and the other one just as a phone. If Android wireless was active the use for me would be a bit less needy.

What some people forget is that your phone barely charges if you use Android Auto and that would make it better for me to really charge my other phone while driving. During Android Auto and connected to the USB of the car the phone is in data mode and will probably only output like 400 to 500mA . This is barely enough to keep the charge.

The S7 that I have goes to about 1.9 Amp(so 1900mA) when charging on a non QC charger so after lets say an hours drive it gets more than enough juice to keep you going.
[Android Auto General] ravest:
How did you manage to turn off bluetooth sharing service ?

I have a similar configuration, in witch i use a samsung phone connected thru mirrorlink hack (lg mirrordrive) and my own phone connected thru bluetooth.
[Android Auto General] Pixege:
I installed the Root Essentials app from Google Play and found the "Bluetooth Sharing" service in the Memory / Application Manager tab and turned it off. From the normal application settings, this can not be done. Thanks to this, the sound and image from Android Auto is transmitted via USB, and my iPhone is connected via bluetooth for calls.
[Android Auto General] DR400:
No joy unfortunately... Is it related to the usage of AA and not mirror link ?
[Android Auto General] Pixege:
The steps I have described have helped in the operation of AA, so that the car does not disconnect my Bluetooth-connected iPhone. When I used MirrorLink, my iphone was not disconnected and I could use both phones without any modifications.

In my case, I turned off bluetooth first and then I installed and configured Android Auto with my car. As a result, the iPhone was not disconnected which made me happy. I would also like to add that the procedure was performed on the Discover Pro radio in the Passat B8 with the App-Connect service.
[Android Auto General] DR400:
I did try almost every configurations ... I erased previous telephone settings in head unit to start with a clean install. BT has been disabled on tablet (the one dedicated to AA). As soon as the tablet is connected through USB, the phone is deconnected from head unit, and the reason given is that BT is already engaged by another unit (the tablet 0-o):eek:. I did a hard reset of the tablet. No joy either... I don't know what to do next. I should stress the fact that AA is installed from APK, as the tablet is not eligible for having AA.
[Android Auto General] Pixege:
In Volkswagen cars, Android Auto connects via USB, however the phone connection is connected via bluetooth. Maybe your car is configured differently with AA. I also downloaded AA from the apk file.

Can your car simultaneously handle two phones connected by bluetooth? It is possible in the Passat. Maybe there is a problem here.
[Android Auto General] DR400:
That needs to be checked for sure, but I still cannot understand why, with BT completely removed from tablet, Head unit still maintains a kind-of BT link with it, thus disconnecting the phone ... It appears like once AA is running on tablet, all other BT connections are killed.
[Android Auto General] bohs:
Not working for me! Please help

Hi Pixege,

I have the exact same setup (Sony Xperia Z5 ROOTED + iPhone + VW Discover Pro on new Tiguan) and followed your instructions here but no luck.

Here's what I've done.

1. Made sure there is no pre-existing bluetooth pairing between Xperia and Discover Pro) - I reset the Discover Pro just to be sure

2. Paired iPhone with Discover Pro (this is the phone I want to keep connected via bluetooth for calls, etc.)

2. Permanently disable bluetooth sharing on Xperia using Root + App

3. Installed Android Auto on Xperia and connected device to Discover Pro - AA now works fine

This still caused the iPhone to be disconnected from bluetooth... when connected via AA, no other connection is allowed.

Did you do anything different from the steps above as it didn't work for me.

Thanks for helping out.

use 2nd phone for Android Auto

I was able to root my LG V35 and turn off all BT using Link2SD. Now my old V35 is plugged into my car's USB in the center console and my new S20+ connects to the car on BT for calls. It took a lot of effort, but thanks to all the tips posted here, I was able to make it happen. Rooting the V35 was the hard part. Getting the boat loader to unlock took a lot and I bricked the phone twice trying. But rooting after that was somewhat easy, though frankly, I'm not sure how I did it exactly. I was able to unlock the boot loader using the instructions here, step 1 and 2. Though somehow, I bricked the phone (for a 2nd time) trying to get through step 3. I was able to get it to go into fastboot mode and I flashed the boot with an img that was labeled twrp and magist 7.5. I wish I could remember where I got that image from, but after that, magist was installed on the phone and a few clicks later, suddenly it was rooted. Then disabling BT with Link2SD only took a minute.
[Android Auto General] itamarbh:
GREAT post - THANK YOU!!

I have a Note 20 Ultra and a 2020 Tiguan SE, and my 2 issues are (were):

1. I hated connecting and disconnecting the phone to cable for every damn time you enter the car.

2. Since I am spending a lot of time in the car, not necessary driving - I wanted more. Especially Video.

Knowing that AA uses BT and automatically pairing every devices it connected, I though to go to iOS, and get a cheap Iphone to run Carplay, while my Note will stay on BT.

The idea of disabling BT from system after root never crossed my mind. So once seeing that post, I ordered from Amazon a Pixel XL, rooted it and removed all the un-necessary crap out of it, disabled all APKs and services using BT - and it works like a charm.

I have my Note in and out from the car with me, working on BT, and the rooted Pixel juts sits in the car connected with the wire.

Thank you!
[Android Auto General] moare01:
Have the same problem. Disabling Bluetooth does not help.

Do you have a detailed guide?
[Android Auto General] itamarbh:
Hi,

Not anything in particle, where are you stuck?

I just used any of "app disabler" app from Google Play and freeze every service you find for BT.

Other then that, once in car, make sure your phone is up and running the BT connection,

before

you plug the secondary device into the wired AA connection.

Good Luck.
[Android Auto General] moare01:
Hi,

That's what I did.

I don't know why it doesn't work for me.

Have tried them all before.

New ROM, Call function disabled, Android Auto function disabled.

I don't know...

Maybe it's because of the VW firmware?
[Android Auto General] itamarbh:
I have a 2020 VW Tiguan SE (USA) if it helps.

Rooted with Magisk

I used "link2sd" and "servicedisabler" apps to do it, but their are plenty others out there who will do the same.

The 2 BT services I disabled in the Pixel XL which is connected now to AA by wire are:

com.androind.bluetooth

com.androind.bluetoothmidiservice

And once again, be sure to be paired and connected with your phone ti BT, before connecting the other device to the wired AA.

Optional MODs

EDIT: Q: Why these MODs are outdated? A: Please read HERE

[WORK IN PROGRESS, MODDING HAS LOW PRIORITY]

These modifications I have done personally using (bak)smali tools - these are NOT "borrowed" from other custom ROM, nor from someone else's thread (thanks to @majdinj, @tdunham, @Grouxho & @yash92duster for their excellent modding guides). All ZIP files are TWRP flashable:

>> MODs for SM-N950F/DS/N <<

TIP: Are you tired with re-installing your favorite MODs every time you update this ROM? Just take advantage of the new DevBase feature, intruduced in v5.6 (see "Changelog"). It is enough to put your favorite apks and/or jars in /sdcard/devbase/system/(priv-)app (or ../framework) and these MODs will be detected & applied automatically every time you update this ROM. You can also use your /external_sd to store your favorite MODs (it is mandatory if you are using encryption).

Example for "N950x_DisableHighVolumeWarning.zip" (modded SystemUI.apk):

- unzip SystemUI.apk file from my flashable MOD

- create /sdcard/devbase/system/priv-app/SystemUI directory

- place modded SystemUI.apk in above directory

Next time you will update my ROM - my installer will use modded SystemUI.apk instead of stock app included in my ROM :cool:

NOTE: Use this feature consciously and carefully! It may happen that your MOD is not compatible with a newer Samsung's base (especially in case of major Android update)! I will warn you about it, but only in case of MY MODs, I am not able to predict what kind of mods you are using.

- Fake KNOX 0x0 status (check it in PhoneINFO app) - most of Knox related apps should work again, like in case of untouched KNOX flag .)

Is folder lock and samsung pay will work again ?

It does not apply to S8 and N8, unfortunately... There are many workarounds for S7, for example - Secure Folder works (with fake KNOX 0x0). But S7 is the last phone in which Secure Folder works despite root..

I'm sorry but you have already flashed U3BRA8 Bootloader & U3BRA2 Modem - all necessary files were included in my ROM and flashed automatically...

If you were worried about the U3xxxx bootloader - why don't you asked if it is inside the ROM or not? I will add note about included BL in post #1 ASAP

About FCs after clean install - I have an idea obout potential reason - some CSC files are not stock in my ROM (I mean original but just unencrypted while in the stock ROM these are encrypted).

For everyone who have/had a problem after flashing v4.6b - please give one more chance to this ROM and flash this version (v4.6a):

>> N950FXXU3BRA8_DevBase_v4.6a.zip <<

It contains only pure stock, unmodified images (including /system) & original CSC files (encrypted, so CscFeature MOD will not work). It will let us verify if my installer works well with Note 8 or not and if my work need some refinement...

EDIT: [MENTION=7167662]Sams26[/MENTION] - your phone is technically OK despite the behavior you described - the only thing you need to recover it is just flash pure U3BRA2 or U3BRA8 stock ROM matched to your current CSC (or with multi CSC package containing your current CSC)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] SaadatM:
Slight OT:

Used your ROM on Note 4 and S7E and they were fabulous.

One thing bothering me is your "unrooted" status and wanting to try blindly.

Appreciate the thought of universal installer and all, but man there are these small probs which are bothersome (BL version, oem unlock disappearing, CSC) if a ROM isn't working correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] _alexndr:
N950FXXU3BRA8_DevBase_v4.6a.zip mentioned above has been uploaded :cool:

NO, don't even try as my ROM contains only BL/CP for N950F (my installer contains exact model detection, but please do not tempt fate anyway)

I have worked (slowly but scrupulously) over 2 years across many owned flagships to create the universal installer which is capable to support ANY Samsung device. My goal is to support successfully more models which I have never had in my hand. I believe it is possible and that it would make sense. If this thread turns out to be a success - I will create a thread for S8 / S8 +, then maybe for S9 in the future, who knows :) (NOTE: no promises :p)

About some bothersome BL updates - I know the problem because similar irreversible update has been released for S7/S7edge (it is called U2xxxx / S2xxxx in case of S7). New (sometimes bothersome) FWs will be still released and we we should enjoy them anyway. Will you skip the update to Oreo because of the new BL ??

Disappearing OEM unlock option IMHO is not a problem at all - you do not need "OEM unlock" option in "developer settings", you just need to remove Google account from your pure stock before you root device first time, and you will OEM unlock your device by doing this. You need to wipe all data while rooting first time ANYWAY so I don't understand the concerns related to the lack of "OEM unlock" in the developer settings. Your device will never lock again itself as long as you have custom recovery and/or just rooted device
