My solution to the slow system was to remove all the Amazon stuff that has been deemed safe to remove that I've seen in various threads here. Of course some still want to use some Amazon apps so it's not the solution for everyone. Just keep in mind while you are trying stuff that removing one thing may break something else and cause your tablet to slow down. But best of luck, be sure to post your findings! [emoji4]

As far as my launcher, I actually replaced the nova Launcher and have the widgets working [emoji16]

Desktops Icons not going away

I posted this in another thread but basically I got everything working and started 'PM Hiding' stuff. I read that 'pm hide' and 'pm disable' are essentially the same. Sometimes I would have to leave the 'com' on front of the name (that I was trying to hide), other times I had to leave it off. I was getting 'new hidden state: true' but after reboot they are all still on my desktop I don't know why.

I was using Richaarvark spreadsheet and only getting rid of 'safe' stuff. Some stuff I don't want to get rid of. Others I wasn't sure. But I definately got rid of all the parental controls, the clock, weather, maps but they are still there and I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Help tremendously appreciated. I'll get back to NOVA once I get this figured out :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] tylerhole:
Have you tried pm disable instead? Hide might only be hiding it in your launcher until reboot. Otherwise, although you'd have to reset to get them back, you could try the method in this thread.

I know it says 5.6 and up it won't work, but I'm on 5.6.1.0 and my friend is on 5.6.2.0 and it's worked for both ours.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DallasRedHead:
Thanks for the info but... I tried pm disable and half of them wouldn't disable - why I went to hide them. Also, when this kept happening what I read was disable requires a rooted device (mine is not).

Do you think I could just try pm uninstalling - I don't want to start over! I've spent hours on this and have brain drain and looked at so many threads. The initial thread I was pointed to was https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/general/a-t3820744/page23#post77476583 and that's what I've been following.

Interesting, I just checked this. While my desktop icons didn't disappear my searches on chrome have gotten a lot faster! I had two sites that I was testing with that were so slow I would walk away while they loaded up. Now they load up great! Hum.....

No problem but now I don't know where to go from here. Maybe someone will reply from the original post I was following... I'm really just now sticking my toe in the Android world. :eek:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] tylerhole:
I haven't attempted to do anything regarding disabling or removing system apps on mine without root, plus I have the 10 not the 8 so there's other lil differences too.

That combined with Amazon making things more difficult to be done with every update not sure if I could point you in a direction to go without doing a bunch of digging through threads myself lol.

I'm sure there is someone will be able to chime in and help ya out, just a matter of time. Hope ya get it figured out and I'll be checking back to see what happens! [emoji854]

can some1 tell me what i did wrong i disable only the safe apk.. reboot the amazon goes into moptimizing system storange application mode forever.. then i have to go into adb and sideload stock firmware
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Guardian x9:
this one doesnt have say if the apps is safe to disable or uninstall.. where can i get the version where it say if the apk is safe to disable or not.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] tylerhole:
What is your definition of "forever"? Because depending on how many apps you disabled it could take a while to optimize.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Guardian x9:
i left the tablet over nite wake up the optimize screen still on.. i went ahead and abd sideload. stock firmware
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] tylerhole:
Next time you go through disabling I'd recommend only doing 1 or 2 apps at a time, reboot to recovery, wipe cache then reboot. If it hangs on any of those times and doesn't want to boot then at least you'll have it narrowed down or figured out which one is not safe to remove.

Yesterday Amazon announced the "Show Mode" in Germany for the 4. October on the HD 8. Hopefully the update will also come for the HD 10. I will wait for it and will then try to hide the not needed apps from the tablet.

Disable script

I just bought Fire HD 10 and have been used it for 2 months now. I'm really get tired of all the ads and amazon apps. The firmware version is 5.6.2.0 and I have been tried several rooting methods in this forum without successfully. I followed the method from this thread and it only works for pm hide. When I tried "pm disable" I got error message "Error: java.lang.SecurityException....". Here are the questions that I hope you can give me a direction

1. With my current verson 5.6.2.0 is there any root method out there? So far I have followed 2 without any succesfull

2. Is there anyway I can get the PM disable to work if rooting 5.6.2.0 is not possible?

2. If the pm hide is the only option I have then is there a script available to run from adb shell for automatically hide the amazon apps?

thanks

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] sacentre:
Apologies if I'm in the wrong forum.

My Galaxy Note 1 GT-N7000 finally went belly up today f good service years and I've had to bite the bullet and buy a new phone. I bought a Galaxy J7 Duo which is a good replacement and even comes with a spare battery but I hate the minimalist look of Android 8.0. It reminds me of Windows 10 with all the unattractive matchstick icons and arrows.

Is there any way to install Jellybean 4.1.2 or Lollipop 5.0 on it?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jeffers1:
Hi all and thanks for letting me join XDA. This is my first time at this so here goes...

S7 Edge UK Vodafone been working fine till overnight samsung update...I think??

Woke up and turned my phone on and get the Usual Samsung Logo but with an unusual red text saying "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID Custom binary is blocked by frp Lock"

Needless to say phone is now useless.

SO... here is what I tried so far.

1) downloaded Odin 3 and I can get it to talk connect in download mode OK.

2) Downloaded UK Vodaphone Stock Rom (2hour download!!) loaded into Odin 3 but hangs and does not work.

I thought it may not be able to flash because of FRP lock? so tried various youtube ways to disable using Odin3 but no luck.

It seems to me that the phone is communicating to the PC because it shows a connection at Odin3, however getting rejected during upload.

Q1. Can I flash My Samsung S7 edge using my trusty windows.7 64bit with Odin3? or does it have to be an XP machine?

Q2. Keeps hanging at PIT Mapping. Am I missing some other software?

Q3. Can my S7 be flashed if FRP Lock is ON?

Really appreciate any help as I am pulling my hair out... and aint much left.

Cheers Jeff

Ok.. Now I am a happy bunny UNTIL I signed into my Google account and started re installing apps from play store and guess what??

Clearly your knox counter is intact. So just give it to samsung service centre and get it fixed. It will cost less than 6$ for service I guess.

The way I see it 'Reboot and freezing' is the real issue.

Since the technical guy already flashed your phone once and it still didnt work. Its better to go to samsung service centre instead. And when they give your phone back, just sit there for 10-15mins and try to setup the phone. You can give it back if it freezes again.

The google FRP lock is there for added safety dont worry. You will be able to use your phone again after entering your account details.

A lot of us here at xda have knox warranty void. So we dont go to samsung service centre at first. Since your knox warranty is intact you can go and argue with them and get it fixed.

Look, your options are limited. The only stuff you can flash via odin is official firmware. Anything else will void warranty.

You can't do advanced stuff and fix your phone with knox intact state.

So 'Go to Samsung Authorized service centre!'
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jeffers1:
Thank you

Thanks Silver King thats good advice. I believe the Phone is still in it's 2 year Samsung warenty and the only issue stopping me is that the drop in service center is some miles away plus I cannot get the SIM and Memory card draw out. We all had a go including Vodafone shop....but no luck.

Family photos have probably gone on phone memory but I want to save my SD Card. Some very important business info stored.

Q1. What a Knox Counter?

Q2. Not really bothered about keeping Vodafone so can't I install another more univarsal softwate?

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Capitalizer:
Hello everyone

As i've had trouble lately to receive the bootloader unlock code from Huawei. I wrote them an email, and this was their response.

"Thank you for contacting Huawei Support UK and for the provided details.

In response to your enquiry, we would like to inform you that the unlock code application service has ended, as of July 25th 2018, to ensure user experience and safety. Moreover, unlocking the bootloader of a device voids the warranty and it wasn’t recommended since it was the source of multiple software issues due to unauthorized software modifications.

Huawei used to provide users with corresponding unlock codes to meet personalized requirements due to the usage of different ROMs, which is an extra service and does not belong to consumers' rights.

However, due to possible problems caused by unlocking your device (such as system built-in function failure, device freezing, and power consumption increase) we will no longer provide the code.

Should you have any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We wish you a nice day!"

So, as of now. The only way to get the bootloader unlock code, is to use dc-unlocker or any other software that can handle the task

Have a great day!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Yes. At least for now, and at least for Mate 10/Pro. Honor View 10 has problems getting unlock code, same with P20. So for future devices not even dc may work.

And Huawei might just remove unlock from fastboot all together, as its not really needed if you can't use it properly.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Capitalizer:
They actually removed the option to receive the code for all their devices, which is a shame. It's like they're trying to control its users, with the excuse that it can be unstable.

It's not they're call to make, in my opinion, AND they're even stating that it voids warranty. We know the risks of this, so please stop now Huawei
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Yeah, I meant getting unlock code through dc. Honor View 10 L04 can't, some L09 users seem to have trouble as well. P20 can't at all (if I remember correctly). And future devices probably can't either.

Yeah, you got a warning when getting the unlock code from them that it voids warranty. You got a warning when using unlock code on device.

I will not get a Huawei device in the future if I can't unlock it :P
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Capitalizer:
Me Neither

Probably switch to OnePlus afterwards because of this, if they're not going to do anything about this
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ErnestoD:
Do you know how much to unlock in DC site ? Thanks
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Capitalizer:
It states the price on their website.

But about 5 $

Just today I read about Huawei's succes which indicates they became top 2 seller all around the world surpassing Apple. We have been there when Samsung got it's hype and after that invented some bull**** called knox. So, maybe no need to give really significant credit to a company which is going to abuse it.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tsun_Pooka:
It's a shame that they have decided to go through this route. I fortunately got my bootloader unlock code for the Lite before it was too late, and I'm keeping it in two different locations, accessible online, until my warranty is over. That's how protective I am of the code. I certainly don't like that we'd have to rely on dc-unlocker's paid services to do what we were able to do for free.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Update. As of BLA-C432B145+ you can't use DC/HCU to get unlock code. FW prior to this should be fine. However, downgrading seems to be no go either as B145 is now approved for installation in eRecovery (at least for me, was B137 a couple of weeks ago)

I'm not sure which build on other custs, but I guess you can check release date and compare.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] rogerinnyc:
If I can't root, I won't buy a phone. Huawei, I love your hardware, but if you stick by this decision it's goodbye for me when I next upgrade.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Capitalizer:
This decision Huawei made is completely sad, and irritating. They're decreasing the user made choixes, which should not happen. Android was build open, to advance user made choices and problems. If this stays. They're not worth my money anymore
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Clarification: You can still downgrade using NoCheck recovery or HuRUpdater, but that requires an already unlocked bootloader.

I did downgrade yesterday to BLA-L29C432B142, and there you can still get unlock code using HCU.

FH can't downgrade either apparently, so Huawei probably added a check to eRecovery that prevents downgrading :/

Also, the backdoor that DC-phoenix/FH Rebrand tool uses is broken as well in B145 (I assume B145, I'm on B148 and here it's not working).

Sorry I've tried searching for it with no avail but what is HCU
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Hcu-client. Its made by DC unlocker but supports newer phones. Newer firmware has closed the way they use to get unlock code though (may firmware or earlier will work, June works on some custs)

So it's possible to unlock the bootloader if new fresh mate 10 pro out of the box before update ? On alternative ROM's post, they say it's over like there is no alternative.
[Magisk] orifori:
My old phone had full device encryption and I installed Magisk with 'Preserve force encryption' checked - absolutely no problems.

My new phone (Samsung Galaxy S9+) was decrypted after installing TWRP, then installed Magisk with 'Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' checked. Again no problems.

Now I want to encrypt my phone (Lock screen and security -> Encrypt device) and I am wondering when exactly and how to switch from 'Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' to 'Preserve force encryption' in Magisk? Shall I first encrypt or shall I first change options in Magisk and then encrypt? Or maybe remove root and Magisk, then encrypt and then install Magisk (which seems the safest but most efforts consuming option)?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
If you enable the "Preserve forced encryption" toggle in the Manager and then straight away install Magisk again, your device should encrypt itself on the next boot.

You can of course also just encrypt the device from the Android settings, without doing anything else. Having the forced encryption flag disabled by Magisk doesn't matter in this respect. It'll just mean that if you happen to format your /data partition at some point, it'll be unencrypted again.
[Magisk] orifori:
Thank you! On a separate note - what will happen with TWRP since it cannot read encrypted containers? Would at least be possible to backup (although it would be information TWRP itself would not be able to read) and restore or TWRP will be totally useless?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
If TWRP can't deal with your device's encryption, it'll not be able to do anything with the encrypted partition.
[Magisk] orifori:
Attempt failed.

First, before encryption, I tried to untick 'Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' and to tick 'Preserve force encryption' - but Magisk keeps changing this to the initial status ('Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity' ticked and 'Preserve force encryption' unticked).

Then I proceeded to standard full device encryption (Lock screen and security -> Encrypt device). The process started but only after a minute the phone rebooted and cannot boot actually - error message 'Encryption unsuccessful. Encryption process interrrupted bla-bla-bla... You need to hard reset device to factory settings'. And the only way out of this screen is the Reset button.

So now I am wondering how to "save the day" the easy way (without formatting, installing dm-verity, restoring TWRP backup, etc.). Anyone has an idea how to proceed? If there is no easy way, at least the way which someone has already used successfully. The only thing I tried was installing no-verity-opt-encrypt-samsung-1.0.zip in TWRP but nothing different happens afterwards.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
The check-boxes in the Magisk Manager will only do something if you straight away install Magisk after having changed them. If you change their state, exit the Manager, and then open the Manager again, they will return to the initial status. Magisk will have to re-patch the boot image with the new setting.

Actually, I don't think you can encrypt your device if you have a custom recovery installed. Something like that, at least... You'll have to look it up to confirm.
[Magisk] orifori:
Just tried to restore through TWRP (boot, system, data excl. storage) - absolutely no change! Attempts (all of which unsuccessful):

1 - Wiped Dalvik cache - same result. The very same black screen asking me to factory reset device but in TWRP I have access to the whole filesystem which means that the phone it NOT encrypted.

2 - Then I flashed stock rom in Odin and TWRP disappeared (replaced by Android recovery). But the black screen asking me to factory reset is still there!!!

3 - After this total mess went down the hard way - from hard reset to TWRP restore.

Now I am only wondering why TWRP wouldn't be able to restore?! I though that restored TWRP backup would bring the phone exactly in the sate in which it was during the backup.
