Well this is completely possible, I just had the same thing happened to me. It was exactly as OP described it (except it was OOS 5.1.7, and it did not even ask me to input a pin when I rebooted to recovery). Fortunately I had a backup, so it didn't impact me much but still, it is a very weird thing.

Thanks for being sarcastic about being helpful. Sorry we can't hold your hand and fix all your problems because your not responsible for your own actions of modding your phone and can't take the consequences when they arise. Maybe you should learn how some more things work and what can happen when you do this before you do it and don't backup your device ever
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] brianius:
Hi there S9/+ folks,

As many others I do like clean unbloated android systems as much as clean unbloated apps without a lot of bling or unnecessary functions.

The Samsung camera app is one of the best for years... but now with bixby, stickers and so on, samsung is starting to bloat even the camera app. Really? :eek:

Idea: I've always debloated my Samsung phones heavily and many times an uninstallation/disabling of system apps was resulting also in a corresponding disapearence of them in settings, in other apps and in the sharing dialog (like mytv, wifi direct, finder, nearby, samsungfriends, scloud,...). Great! (e.g. without Play Services even the Google Settings disappear from the system settings menu). The result is a wonderfully clean, fast and long-lasting (battery) phone. Why not try that for the Camera App?

I'm just experimenting with the S9+ Camera on how to remove the bixby, sticker, ... bloat stuff. But as of now I havn't found the right packages to remove the bloat from the camera app...

What I've tried so far:

Bixby:
com.samsung.android.bixby.es.globalaction
com.samsung.android.app.spage
com.samsung.android.bixby.plmsync
com.samsung.android.visionintelligence
com.samsung.android.bixby.agent
com.samsung.android.bixby.agent.dummy
com.samsung.android.bixby.voiceinput
com.samsung.android.bixby.wakeup
com.android.hotwordenrollment.okgoogle (not related, but still)

Sticker:
com.samsung.android.provider.stickerprovider
com.samsung.android.app.camera.sticker.facear.preload
com.samsung.android.app.camera.sticker.stamp.preload
com.samsung.android.stickercenter

For anybody not used to debloating, a little guide:

How to Disable or Uninstall Apps:
1. Using a disabler app: Package Disabler Pro, BK Disabler or Adhell (disables apps now)
2. Using ADB:
- adb shell
- pm uninstall -k --user 0 'package-name'
(use "pm list packages | grep 'searchword' " for finding the actual app-names)

Any ideas what packages are important for bixby and stickers? :confused:

Any ideas if we can re-write/mod the camera app to work without bixby and stickers?

Thanks for any advice, would be great if we can smoke em out!

UPDATE:

IT WORKS!!! But, Camera Stock App crashes after about 5-15 seconds, until that the app works. I've removed all apps as mentioned above.

Maybe someone can try without removing the sticker-packages, as I can not roll back until there is the Android 8.1 update... (because of my debloat method)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] zubi182:
Very interesante post.

Can you post your personal debloat list? I'm doing a lot of test with titanium backup deleting apps but there are a lot of apps that make the phone not boot. And is difficult and tedious to know what app are the causant. Thanks for this post. Bixby and camera bloat are totally unnecessary.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snake2332:
I searched the web for 15 minutes and came up with nothing good, so I'm asking the general audience here at XDA.

Basically, it comes down to: If I need to use APN settings for my carrier, like using Verizon Note4 on T-Mobile network, what happens when my phone connects to another carrier like AT&T with HSPA+ that doesn't match up to the current APN settings?

The immediate answer appears to be that I won't get any data while on the AT&T network.

In more detail:

I have a Note 4 that was purchased through Verizon long ago. I recently rooted and rommed this device to CyanogenMod and put a T-Mobile SIM in it. I added the T-Mobile APN settings and it works fine on T-Mobile LTE since the Note4 has the correct 700MHz band (or whatever). However, when I'm driving to work, the connection drops from T-Mobile and it hooks up to AT&T (I think) and shows H+ in my notification bar. I assume that's HSPA+ from AT&T, as that is the only carrier that has HSPA+ in my entire state. When it does this, I believe that my data connection does not work because SiriusXM stops playing music and stuff. Sometimes the Note4 will reconnect to T-Mobile network pretty quickly and SiriusXM resumes playing (at 2x speed like Chipmunks....it's a terrible app honestly).

I'm wondering if I need APN settings for the AT&T HSPA+ network that my phone connects to while driving. Which makes me wonder how APNs work, like does the phone detect which one it needs to use as your cellular connection changes. Or can you combine 2 APN's to help my situation somehow? Is this why people have multiple SIM cards?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] davbay1:
Hey everyone just a quick question. I am currently on OOS 5.1.5 and have pretty good battery life expect when I use google play music. I came from an Iphone where play music barley sipped any battery and talked to a friend that has a Oneplus 5T who also says that he streams 6 plus hours at work and still finishes his shift with 60 to 65 percent.

Just yesterday I was streaming music for about 4 hours and it completely drained my batter from 70 to 0. At 1 percent I looked at battery stats and it said that google play music used 45 percent of my battery.

On a normal day when I listen in the car. A 15 minute drive will make me lose about 3-4 percent. All of my music is downloaded locally.

Anyone have similar issues?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ck609:
All,

I'm scared I have bricked my phone or their has been a hardware failure.

Yesterday I had a VS996 rooted via DirtySanta method, with TWRP 3.0.2-1 and WETA 5.0.7. This morning it was off and wouldn't boot (stuck on boot LG logo for 30+ minutes). I tried the following:

1. I tried flashing different ROMs and at first the Internal storage would not mount, but after a couple of wipes it was working but would end with a set_perm error and would still not boot.

2. Then I tried updating the recovery from the bootloader (fastboot) which failed with the error message: FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

3. I went back to the dirtysanta guide and tried to flash the boot1.img (fastboot flash boot boot1.img) and got the same error. Tried different cables and USB ports to no avail.

Is there any hope for me or am I bricked?

Thanks for you help!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ck609:
Looks like it may be a hardware issue. It got progressively worse; had to play with it for a while to get it to power on then finally just wouldn't power on at all. I tried using multiple batteries as well. Gave up and sent it to LG for warranty repair (9 days left). I read that sometimes they are root friendly however that never came up during our phone conversation. Got my fingers crossed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fraggz99:
I have an s7 edge handset that was originally on the uk Three network, but is now sim unlocked (I can use an O2 sim in it with no issues, but it shows the 3 splash screen on boot) but it hasnt yet recieved the oreo update,m and given it only got nougat in February, I doubt we will see it soon

So Ive been reading up about manually flashing Oreo via Odin, as there are releases of Oreo for other uk versions (unlocked/other networks etc.), and it seems I cn flash a BTU uk version ( G935FXXU2ERE8 )onto my Three network S7 edge (G935FXXS2DRA9 ) using Odin

I just want to double check that this will work, wont brick the phone, and will essentially turn it into a factory unlocked model, which will recieve OTAs via samsung directly.

You can go into Quick Menu Option, and check 'replace system menu' which will now bring quickmenu when you click window start button. You can also enable the option where 'long press' on the window start menu icon brings up the oem windows menu, and 'short press' brings up the quickmenu.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quimbexa:
I broke my phone into pieces a few months back, took a pretty back fall from the fourth floor window. I love this beast and took it upon myself to recover it. So I bought a new screen and frame. It looked like new. When I tried to power it on, nothing happened. I suspected the battery, which had already shown some signs of dying prior, and attributed it to months without charge. I ordered a new one, that came today...

Still no power. However something happens , like with the old one: sometimes the flashlight comes on when I tried to charge it. I can feel the heat in the motherboard.

What can I do???? ? Is it time to give up on my OPO?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ED2O9:
I've been a long time advocate of unlocking and rooting my devices, dating back to Windows Mobile. I loved the ability of dump bloated carrier apps, use Titanium BackUp to save and restore apps, and enable root-specific apps and features. Then, about the time I switched to a LG G5, the ability to unlock became a rarity. Around that time, I found that the LG BackUp allowed me to preform an easy restore after a system reset, carrier apps were easier to ignore and I found that rooting wasn't as much of a necessity as I remembered. Fast forward to the news that a method was discovered that allowed almost all V30s to be unlocked and rooted. My question is this: Is it really worth it to unlock and root my phone, or flash a custom ROM when this exploit will undoubtedly be patched soon? This leaves the owner to remain on the outdated firmware, which has possible security risks. Also, rooting the phone will most likely disable Android Pay, which I use regularly. Finally, one of the big selling points of this phone was the two-year warranty, which could be voided if unlocked.

I think it's great that people can finally unlock this phone, but I'd like to know what are the main reasons people are using this method and why they feel that it outweighs the risks. I've been out of the rooting/flashing loop for a while, so I'm looking forward to hearing the responses.

Thanks!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
If you think you'll remain on outdated firmware you don't know much about rooting.

ROMs get monthly Android security updates. Does LG do that?

If you want to stay on stock firmware, you can flash any updated KDZ. I've been rooted since January and I flashed Oreo KDZ. I'm currently as updated as LG allows for US998'

You can have all the updates you want. Not sure why you don't think so.

___

No rooting doesn't disable Android Pay. That's the whole idea of Magisk.

This topic almost smells of Troll. ;)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ED2O9:
Sorry... as I said, it's been a while since I rooted a phone, so I was off the mark on the update part. As for Android Pay, the last time I tried to use is on a rooted phone I got a failure notice. I have no idea what Magisk is, so that's exactly why I'm asking my original question. I'm looking for honest answers... not insults.

One other thing that I noticed was that the recommended method was the convert to the US998 Oreo in North America. The G5 I has was the carrier unlocked version which I used on Verizon. While it worked great, a couple features weren't compatible. For example, Advanced Calling only enabled HD Voice. Video Calling was unavailable. Also, Verizon visual voicemail didn't work, so most people switched to Google Voice. That caused issues with call forwarding to my LG Urbane 2. All of this things may have been resolved since then, and if they are please let me know.

[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION], I would not think he's trolling, as I had the very same question. I had rooted all my phones, up to the S8 Plus. Then I got a deal I could not pass on the V30 ($300 in pristine, practically new condition) and it did not take me more than a couple of days to see I liked it way more than the S8 and one of the reasons for that was that I did not feel like I needed to change anything to it. Great performance and sound, almost no bloatware and excellent battery life. So, knowing that the loophole might get patched I did unlock the bootloader but have remained stock, lurking in the rom threads until something compelling arises that make me root and leave stock behind. By the way I must thank you because you have helped so many of us in these guides.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
Just the ability to cut off most ads with AdAway is compelling enough for me to root, even if it voids the warranty.

Cannot stand all the crass obnoxious ads.

The smartphone hardware is amazingly reliable nowadays, once it survives the infant mortality phase (initial failures). I figure the 30 day return period is there for infant mortality, if the phone makes it past that it is extremely likely to survive 2 years. Especially a phone like the V30 with IP68 and some MIL-STD-810 ruggedness. So in my opinion the warranty risk assumed by rooting is very slight.

(Just spilled milk on my V30S yesterday. Rinsed it off, let it dry, good to go. :) )

In case of forgotten WiFi password, Wifi generator will need root and help you see your saved SSID & passwords. If you have a custom kernel, play with CPU governors either for balanced performance/battery life (Does different CPU governors responsible for the UI smoothness but reduce battery life by a few minutes?)

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
1) Philosophy of ownership.

You paid several hundred dollars for this small handheld computer. And if you are not the "administrator", then you don't really own it. Someone else does, either the manufacturer or the carrier.

In large companies, at all the workplace desktop computers, none of the regular workers are allowed to be "admin" or "administrator". The company doesn't want you installing your own software or uninstalling their software. They often have software to track the computer usage, as it's THEIR computer anyway. You have no rights, no expectation of privacy. You are using their hardware.

At HOME, you are the admin of your own personal computer. You can do whatever you wish. Should be the same with your smartphone.

1.5 years ago Samsung sent a BRICK command via OTA update to their Galaxy 7 Note phones on purpose, to force people to return those phones for a different model. No, not all Galaxy 7 phones had the battery flaw, but Samsung deemed it in THEIR best interest to take back all the Galaxy 7 Note phones and replace them with older Galaxy S7 or S7+ phones. This was only possible because Samsung still REALLY OWNED those phones, even though people had paid several hundred dollars to USE them. Until your phone is rooted, someone else owns the phone.

2) MORE FEATURES

Better audio (Viper, etc), HIM mode on ALL headphones, Wi-Fi passwords remembered and viewable, scheduled auto reboots to clear out RAM and start the day fresh, free ad blocking without having to use VPN. You can install a volume control app that will give you 30 or even 100 volume steps. You can install an xposed mod that will let you change the idiotic battery icons in the status bar.

3) TWRP CUSTOM RECOVERY

The ability to make frequent backups that you can restore in a few minutes is an amazing feature itself. It's like having a time machine to go back before you made a mistake.

You can also use TWRP to flash/install apps and mods to make your phone more fun. Install the fonts/emojis of Android P NOW.

4) TITANIUM BACKUP

Gives you "system level" control to backup and restore previous versions of apps. You can also make some user apps be "system" apps to give them more power (like a camera or volume control app) or you can completely uninstall "system" apps a carrier installed for THEIR benefit, not yours (i.e. bloatware, which they make money on).

MORE later. I have to go to work.

There are workarounds to give you some similar features of root like VPN ad blocking -- but in doing speed tests I have higher pings (more lag) as all data is going through a VPN network before I see it. Pure root is just better, for some many reasons.
