[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] richaardvark:
Ahh - thanks for this info! I reinstalled Launcher Hijack and I'm in much better shape/can navigate normally now.

I do think we're able to change the default launcher though, without root. Maybe not, but it seems like it. If you access the "Home" / default launcher settings area of Android system Settings and change your launcher, your selection does seem to actually stick (attaching screenshots below). If I go to the settings menu of my chosen replacement launcher ("Action Launcher" in this case) and have not changed the Home launcher, the launcher gives me a warning that it's not currently set as default. When I do update the Home launcher in Android Settings, that warning message goes away... ?

I use an app called "Activity Launcher" to make my way into that hidden/disabled by Amazon "Home" default launcher settings menu, but there are other ways to access the menu as well.

I thought that maybe if I "pm hid" both Amazon launchers (Home Pages/Fire Launcher, as well the new show mode launcher), that the system would be forced to let me change my launcher and we wouldn't need Launcher Hijack but I tried this with no success :-\

Hope someone can help. I got my new hd 10 yesterday. I decided I wanted to do the pm hide in most Amazon apps. So I did it on all on the spreadsheet on this first page EXCEPT the ones that use alexa, Updates and Amazon app store. Now, if I try and share a recipe or a link or go into many settings, it give me "action not permitted, check parental controls". I see others mentioned this problem but don't see a solution. Can someone recommend a solution please? Too many things I cannot do. Did I hide something I should not have? I can unhide it but I don't know what it is? Thanks anyone! Cindy
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Montefori:
My little contribution to the thread:

The first time I power on my Fire 7 I noticed nice 4.71Gb free of 5.62Gb internal memory, very good. But after installing the Google Apps, 1 small game, Chrome, and a few other regular apps the free space was reduced to only 400Mb, even after moving all possible apps to the SD card. I was wondering how come, the answer is the Amazon bloatware multiplies by x3 or x4 the required space after internal app updates. To "pm hide" the apps do nothing to recover this lost space.

After a Factory Reset is not possible to start the Fire tablet without connecting to wifi and set up an Amazon account, this leads to an unavoidable Bloatware update. But it's easy to avoid by turning off the router just 1 second after setting up the wifi password, the tablet won't be able to check for updates and will let you skip the Amazon account process.

After boot just do the process of "pm hide" the bloatware and install Google apps. After disabling the Bloatware it's safe to connect again the wifi. Now after setting up the Google apps and all my daily use apps I still have decent 3.21Gb of free space.

By the way, isn't needed to set up the Amazon account, never.

If you still need the Kindle app or any other Amazon app, the best is to install it via Google Play, but not let the Bloatware go wild.

About the hidden apps I hide all the usual, plus this extra:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] CresCoJeff:
I'm interested in the S9+, but I live in the United States and I'm afraid the locked bootloader of G965U will leave me with a very expensive dinosaur in a few years when Samsung official updates cease. Mainly for that reason (also because I like to play around with custom ROMs and would like the option of 128GB internal storage), I'm considering purchasing either the G9650 or the G965F variants. I've read that the G9650 has little to no developer activity, and I like the terms/price offered by clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s9-plus, so I would probably lean towards G965F.

What I'm having trouble determining is whether either G965F or G9650 will definitely work with all of my carrier's (AT&T) 3G and 4G bands. From forums.att.com/t5/Phone-Device-Upgrades/What-are-AT-amp-T-s-4G-LTE-bands/td-p/4067288 and gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s9+-8967.php#g965f it seems like the 4G bands AT&T uses should theoretically be supported, but I would prefer anecdotal evidence to theory. Has anyone confirmed that G965F and/or G9650 work at full speed with AT&T's network (specifically 4G)?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] JT-on:
Yep, it'll work. Canadians typically roam on AT&T while visiting 'murica because we no longer have a cdma carrier like Verizon/Sprint. I'm using G965F fine on Canadian networks.

But here's a site for you too.

I haven't noticed any speed issues, but I haven't been to your area so I can't really compare.

The people with this phone unlocked gsm using it in other country or not using Sprint just don't upgrade the phone never ever stay with the original firmware that comes by default with the phone because the new versions of the stock firmware don't let you add or edit the Apn's or even use Hotspot , the version of stock that let you edit apn is ncq26.69-48 people should know this already that's why there are so many people bricking their phones trying to downgrade i already owned 2 Moto e4 and never had problems with default stock rom I just disable Motorola Update Service App and never get bother again with system updates for other people this post is useful don't know who but it is I don't recommend upgrading. Thanks.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
Downgrading is typically never an issue unless sensitive bootloader partitions are downgraded or attempted to be downgraded. But this is nothing new. Motorola Mobility has included downgrading safeguards on most of their smartphones since at least 2013. Unfortunately, however, Motorola does not routinely release QPST blankflash files so that users can repair hard bricked devices.

As far as upgrading, I am running the most current version of firmware (NCQS26.69-64-5) and have no problem switching to a custom ROM for use with any GSM network. I'm actually using AT&T on my xt1766 Moto E4 right now.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozmage:

i can use my moto with stock firmware on any gsm network here in my country without use custom roms.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
The APN settings can be edited on any Android 7.1.1 stock build for the xt1766. With root access and a root file editor, the apns-config.xml file can be modified/edited.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozmage:
With the original Stock that comes with the phone by factory NCQS26.69-48 there is no need of root for any APN edit on Settings.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
Correct. As you have pointed out, NCQS26.69-48 appears to be the only build that permits an APN to be added/edited directly from Settings>Mobile Networks. On subsequent builds it is necessary to edit the apns-config.xml file from the root filesystem.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozmage:
Well I was Preparing To Upgrade Because I was Intrigued What Can Do My Phone With New Software And Edit /etc/apns-config.xml like you said to add apns and i was making a backup of my Actual apns-config.xml File but then i started Searching And Finding The Custom APN'''s entries I made With Custom Names and Everything on Settings>Mobile Networks and guess what there is NONE of them on apns-config.xml So this means is not going to work like that , i dont think that custom apns are inserted in the file in question so No Upgrade for me also im using a custom kernel with the f2fs patch to pass SafetyNet with Magisk which is based on the NCQS26.69-48 kernel source but i was going to leave all that behind just to upgrade , No GO for me . Can The Bootloader be Locked With this signed OEM Firmware just asking :> , I hope Oreo 8.1 Roms Come To Moto E4 ................. soon.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
You're completely right. I recall now that apns-config.xml is not the only file needing editing. One of the db.telephony.common.jar files plays a role as well as a system//framework/lib file. Let me research this a bit and I'll get back to you on exactly what to edit. I've been developing on the Moto E LTE Surnia and the Moto E5 Play James a lot lately, so I tend to sometimes cross up device configs. There is a thread dedicated to this exact subject and it seems the simplest was to achieve GSM support on the more recent OS builds is to downgrade the radio firmware to a previous version. But again, I'll double check this.

Flashing the firmware package does not re-lock the bootloader. You must manually relock it should you want your device back in OEM locked state.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ozmage:
Ok Thanks For your Good Job Man , i just wanted to know if it was possible to re-lock the bootoader but not for my phone . Well Im Going To Leave The Phone as it is now but if there is some way to edit apn on new stock firmware maybe some magisk module or xposed app , would be nice , i just need oreo lineageos 15.1 in some certain future.

To relock your bootloader, you can use either the WinDroid Toolkit or you can use the exact opposite command that you used to unlock it.

[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
On my xt1766, I initially told you wrong. Sorry about that. I was referring to the apns-config.xml on another Moto device of mine. I used the MSL code on my xt1766 to manually set the APN to a GSM carrier. (in my case, AT&T). Network preferences and such can also be edited with your MSL, including LTE band priority and carrier aggregation settings. You can get your MSL by contacting your mobile provider and giving them your device info, MEID, etc. To enter into MSL programming mode (Data Settings Menu), just go to your dialer and enter ##3282#. You will be prompted for your six digit MSL by selecting the "Edit" option in any of the listed fields.

Ok. Even simpler then. Go back to page 1 of this thread and follow all instructions fully. You will only need Minimal ADB & Fastboot installed on your PC, a micro USB to USB syncing/charging cable, and your device. This guide will restore you back to full factory stock condition. Upon reboot, you will receive a notification for the OTA, which you can install. Some users have reported a radio bug with the OTA, so accepting the OTA is up to you. I'll get you a link for Minimal ADB & Fastboot.

Here is a direct link to Minimal ADB & Fastboot

[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] DB126:
You'd be amazed how much you can so with this device on stock w/xposed. I have grown past custom ROMs which usually contain a few operational warts that sour the experience. Out of the box UX is a little more palatable with non-carrier branded variants like the XT1768 as there is no initial bloat to contend with (easily removed). Moto ROMs are very close to AOSP. Xposed allows customizations beyond that offered by most custom ROMs. Controls are in your hands - not someone elses. Just say'in.

I totally agree with you [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION]. With the stock OS rooted, debloated, Xposed Framework, and some modest customizations, this ROM is very responsive, RAM efficient, power efficient, and in all other ways a really great OS. While custom ROMs are ok to experiment with, it's very difficult to find one that runs better than stock, and nearly impossible to find one which is virtually bug free like stock. Like you, I use rooted and customized stock as the daily driver.

How to UnRoot and back to stock?

Hi guys.

I got a Boost Mobile e4 (the one without the lte band 3) currently running:

Build Number: NCQS26.69-64-8

Baseband: M8920_15000.280.06.58.05R PERRY _NA_CA_CUST

Android version: 7.1.1

And I rooted it in order to get access to editing the apns and connect in LTE to my operator but as it happens, I just was so pinchpenny and bought the cheaper version that hasn't the band (The boost mobile no contract version that sucks) so I would like to get the phone back to stock (just the way it was at first) but I'm uncertain, will the method in this thread brick my phone as if I was downgrading it or can I just follow the instructions and everything is gonna be just fine?

Ok. Follow my firmware guide for NCQS26.69-64-5 (Page 1 of this thread), but disregard bootloader.img and gpt.bin. Otherwise, follow the guide to the letter. Upon first reboot and after setup, you'll get a notification for an OTA. Installing it will bring you up to the current NCQS26.69-64-8 build.

If you want to manually enable LTE Band 3, this guide should be helpful to you. Although the guide is for the Moto E LTE (2nd Gen), the method works on pretty much any Moto smartphone. https://xdaforums.com/moto-e-2015/general/guide-enable-lte-bands-surnia-t3351673/page7

[MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION]: some update on "Radio off" / "No Service" / "No Signals" after OTA update.

I had two phones both Sprint, one was Network Locked/Invalid SIM card and one was unlocked by commercial box/tools.

1. Network Locked / Invalid SIM card phone had BB.07 bootloader and old build 48 or 56 I don't remember build exactly... I flashed on this locked phone just modem and fsg with erasing modemst1/modemst2 from NCQS26.69-64-8 version and baseband obviously updated to: M8920_15000.280.06.58.05R (Yes, R and it had R before too) and later I unlocked this phone and baseband was still 06.58.05R and working.

2. Unlocked by commercial box/tools and working all SIM card phone had BB.23 bootloader and old build 56.... I flashed on this unlocked/working phone just modem and fsg with erasing modemst1/modemst2 from NCQS26.69-64-8 version and baseband updated to: M8920_15000.280.06.58.05E (Yes, E and it had before R and sim working/Radio on).

Also, once modem is updated to 06.58.05R and even bootloaders are old, you can't go back to old modem, flashing old modem will make baseband unknown. That's what happened on my phone.

So, it appears that Motorola intentionally did that on E4 and E4 Plus Sprint phones. One thing is sure that to make Radio on again modem must be from NCQS26.69-64-8, but that FSG can be from different/old version or different region maybe... I don't have phone right now, maybe I will get one on Monday and do some more test.
[Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
Yeah, the baseband unknown issue is a Moto issue dating all the way back to the first Moto E and Moto G. Every Moto device I've ever owned, in fact, incurs that issue after downgrading the radio firmware. So I'm wondering, is this the same old traditional issue and the baseband is showing unknown version, or is the baseband actually being blocked from downgrading.

Thanks for all your input by the way. This sheds some light on things.
