I can personally live without Face Recognition because I'm usually not holding my phone when I unlock it... so I'll try the hide app just so I don't have to look at it anymore. Lol

Thank you for the well thought out investigation & suggestions. If one doesn't work, I'll try the next.

--

Edit: I'm not knowledgeable enough to disable strings. :P ... the app for hiding it is for older Android versions ... and Xposed can only be used on Exynos (I'm on Snapdragon.)

I'll probably just try disabling it's administrative privileges and see if it removes the text, however, hopefully it keeps the bloat disabled? Hm.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] brian5259:
*Workaround. Install Package disabled and activate using the ADB commands. Disable the apps not needed. Uninstall application using the 3 dots and choose not to enable the applications when prompted.

reboot the device and the policy's are lifted and the applications remain disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Serfrost:
Yeah I thought about doing that.

Please check to make sure you have Emergency Mode (power-off menu,) Maximum Power Saving Mode, and Facial Recognition Unlock after disabling PDP Pro. I did a factory reset to get my junk back in the end.

Ive purchased the app, but the link for 'Download BK Plugin 2' isnt working anymore. Also a search on the play store doesnt find it. What to do?

Install it :)

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] LazyLightning:
I also purchased the app and can't find the 'plugin 2 app' Is this mdm app correct and will work?

Also as I'm new to this I have a quick question, if I disable the bloat and I want to add something back it's doable right?

For instance maybe i want to see what Bixby does can I reinstall?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] waylo:
It's a matter of selecting and unselecting checkboxes. Knowing what each of those apps/packages does can be a bit tricky. So this xml list that is on this thread helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] LazyLightning:
Thanks for the info. I got everything to run and renabled a few things. Very tricky indeed! I'm trying touch wiz and one of the disabled files made it so I couldn't search in the app section. Something like Facebook app was easy to disable for instance but some of these files affect others that I might use.

Maybe someone should start a list or thread of what these files might do to the basic interface?

For instance "Finder' - disabled search in app section?"

I'm coming from iPhones and jail breaking them in the past. I'm still confused with Android, definitely don't know all of the correct lingo but appreciate all the help and advice on this site.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] BruceElliott:
Getting Too Aggressive With BK Disabler

My phone has been down for over two weeks due to a stupid mistake that I made. Thank you in advance for any assistance that the community is able to provide. The problem in detail is:

(1) Using an earlier version of the powerful BK Disabler app, which exposed individual services within each app and permitted selectively disabling services, I was a bit too aggressive and disabled some system service required for booting the phone. (Shame on me, of course.) The phone boots through the Android sequence, displays the TMO boot screen, sounds the TMO boot zingle, and then freezes and overheats if left in that state, requiring battery removal.

(2) Fortunately, I was able to recover all of my data by installing the TWRP recovery environment using Odin.

(3) However, I would like to avoid all of the hours of reconfiguration that will result if I re-install the stock Samsung S5 6.0.1. (I have the ROM image from Sammobile to do that if necessary.) Any ideas about how I might re-enable all of the some 200 packages/services disabled via BK Disabler? I'm sure that I can use the file manager from within TWRP to find the BK Disabler XML file of disabled apps and services. But I'm afraid that deleting that XML file won't help, because I believe that BK Disabler sets a "no-run" flag for each disabled package, similar to what can be done from ADB using "pm disable <package name". If so, I would need some way to reset all of those "disable flags."

Can anyone shed any light on this problem?

And if I re-install the stock ROM (G900TUVU1GQC2_G900TTMB1GQC2_G900TUVU1GQC2_HOME.tar), with doing so delete my data, apps, app settings, system settings, etc.? (Some say that it will, others say that the "HOME" version of a ROM will not delete data.)

Thanks,

Bruce

This app unfortunately has been taken down (for the 3rd time) with no signs of developer effort to put it back up. So everyone should use SABS or Adhell 3 to continue disabling packages. Links:

So I just realised that this app is not working anymore. but there is an alternate app by policedeveloper. So how do I go about this? Do I have to pay for this policedeveloper app again? Will uninstalling the old app break my phone? I did not enable the apps before updating my phone. What is the safest way of uninstalling it? Kindly help. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] waylo:
People have posted that if you email the dev, you might get it without having to pay again.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] sweettaniyaa:
Thanks for the reply. So is the wakasoftware and policedeveloper the same company or different people? and how do I get out of this without breaking my phone? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] waylo:
If I had to guess about the uninstall, you could:

1. Re-activate any app you had disabled

2. Remove the app from device admin rights

3. Then uninstall.

Assuming you are going to just re-install another disabler program, #1 might be unnecessary, because really most of these apps just run the ADB commands to disable, using a nice GUI, to make it easier for the user.

For example, I disabled several apps with Package Disabler. But when I use SABS just to look at disabled apps, the same ones are there disabled. So they're really just using the same commands underneath the hood.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] sweettaniyaa:
The developers of BK package Disabler app have not responded to my mail for a solution or a refund. It sucks. I could hardly use it for a month. and now I have to pay for another one?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Genebaby:
Welcome to the family.

I'm back with Package Disabler Pro, the dev hooked me up with a new app as I had moved to BK, but then it died. Probably not going to get a refund on that one.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Genebaby:
It was for me until I reset my phone and tried to put it back on, after I had previously given up on Package Disabler Pro, but they did right by me when I asked.

I should have asked initially but it was only a few $$$ for BK.

Solution

Hey guys, i find a solution for this problem. After using Package disabler to disable bloatware, all you need to do is uninstall Package disabler: open app, tap on three dots on the right corner and then tap uninstall. The text on lock screen will disappear :)) Good luck

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Xperience Z:
The Galaxy S9 is an amazing smartphone, with a number of advanced features. Despite this, over time your S9 or S9+ may slow down a bit more than you would like. Thankfully, there is a longstanding trick in the Android community that can speed things up a bit.

Before we get started, it is worth noting that this method will not actually increase the speed of your phone. That is to say, it will not actually improve processor speed or affect individual app performance. What this method does is speed up the overall time spent navigating the user interface and jumping between apps. In particular, we are going to reduce the animation and transition duration on your Galaxy S9.

Step 1 Enable Developer Options

The option to reduce the animation and transition duration is not something Samsung puts front and center. For this reason, you need to enable Developer Options to access it. There is a quick and easy-to-follow guide on doing that for the Galaxy S9. Head to Settings –> About Phone –> Software Information and tap "Build Number" 7 times.

Step 2 Tune the Animation & Transition Scales

Next, select Developer Options at the bottom of the main settings list menu. From there, navigate down to the three options titled "Window animation scale," "Transition animation scale," and "Animator duration scale" in the Drawing sub-header. Each of these options is set to 1x scale by default, but you can edit the scale to your liking for each option.

recommendation is to set all three of the options to .5x scale. This will double the speed of the animations that occur when you move in and out of apps, as well as transitions between stock menus in the UI. There is also the option to turn the animation completely off, but this can be a bit jarring when actually using the phone.

That's all there is to it. Keep in mind that this will simply speed up the time you spend navigating around the UI, and will not affect actual hardware performance. In addition, some of the lag on your device may be due to other apps hogging resources — for this, you can read the tutorial on disabling such apps.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] oreo27:
What version are you on? I believe all the Fastboot versions are present in that thread. If you're on a newer version that 8.1.10, you'll need to flash 8.1.10 first, effectively downgrading. Then you can update to a higher version using the system's in-built updater.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] racer1077:
Android 8.0.0 [OPR1.170623.026.V9.5.4.0.ODHMIFA]. I'm on 8.0 still but it has a different build number. I have tried the boot.img from this one (Android 8.0.0 [OPR1.170623.026.8.1.10]) but it didnt work.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] oreo27:
Yup. You're on the same version as me. It does not yet have a fastboot ROM indeed. You will need to downgrade.

Flash the entire (Android 8.0.0 [OPR1.170623.026.8.1.10]) ROM in Xiaomi Flash and choose "Save user Data".
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] racer1077:
Miflash says it flashes successfully, however it doesn't reboot and after manually rebooting it isn't flashed.

Edit: Upon checking the log there was a problem with file location and right now I'm trying to flash it again.

Edit: IT WORKED!! After flashing the entire ROM wifi now works again properly. Thank you so much for helping me through all this.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] oreo27:
Mi Flash doesn't seem to accept spaces in the path of the firmware so that was probably the issue. No worries! You'll want to update to the latest version using the system updater to get back on your actual version.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trick420:
Hello everyone,

I've exhaustively searched the forums here for an answer to no avail, so I've started this thread.

I recently upgraded to 6.1 on my tilt, and it's great except for one little annoyance:

On my tilt, I have my active sync set to download the first 1K of a message to save space. In WM6, when I clicked on "Click here to download rest of message" in the body of the email, it would connect and download the rest of the message automatically. Now, in WM6.1, I click on the link, and it shows "message will download next time you connect and receive email". And I have to then go and manually sync the phone.

It's driving me nuts. Can someone tell me if there's a registry setting to correct this? I've searched and searched in all of my connections/sync/direct push settings for the option, and can't find a thing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jeff

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with a Galaxy A3 Model 2017 (SM-A320FL).

The phone has been FRP locked after a wipe.

Problem is, my documentation for the google account is wrong. So I cannot login into the phone again.

I tried several things but nothing worked. The only way to reset it would be sending it to Samsung (with my receip of purchase) who will carge around 100$ for revival.

One thing that is really strange : I cannot enter "Download mode".

Not via the buttons. (Vol-Down + Menu + Power) . It will enter a boot-loop after the "Samsung Galaxy A3" screen.

Not via the software tool. (Samsung 300K Tool)

Maybe someone of you has a idea how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Hi I have no idea about that 300k software tool but I googled it to see what is was. I guess it simulates the 300k usb-jig (hardware). I got one of those and they work.

One thing , for that tool it's written :

Only connect USB Cable to phone ON!
- Android
- Bada
- Qualcomm Cpu
- Broadcom Cpu

You have an Exynos devices, so I guess it won't work.

Another thing, You mensioned that it goes to bootlogo when you try entering download mode. They usually never do that. They boot straight to the varning screen, without logo first.
