[Guide] Vivo 1804 | Phone Setup | Mods & Tricks | Pro Setup​

With the Vivo 1804 / Funtouch OS there is no search option in the settings so often finding the best settings is often difficult.

I recommend the below mods/tricks to set up this device before you start using this as your daily driver :good:

1.	Full Screen Mode

Settings > Display & Brightness > Third Party app display ratio

Select all apps like video players, YouTube etc to make the most of your screen (By default they don't go full screen)

2.	Set Default App Settings

Settings > More Settings > Permission Settings > Default App Settings

Select your preferred apps as default apps

3.	Gestures

Settings > Smart Motion > Smart Turn on/off screen

4.	Smart Click

Settings > Smart Click > Turn on/off flashlight

5. Flash Light Notification (Optional)

Settings > More Settings > Flash Light Notifications

6.	How to take a Screenshot

Vol Down + Power or Three finger swipe

7. Disable System Apps via ADB:

The device does shave some bloatware which i was unable to uninstall without root access, thus i used the ADB commands to disable those apps and stop them from running in the background.

You need to enable USB Debugging before you proceed further, to do so:

Settings > More Settings > About Phone > Click on Software Version 7 Times to enable Developer Options

Go Back and scroll to the bottom under More Settings you will find Developer Options

Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging, and continue if you wish to disable system apps/bloatware :good:

I uninstalled the following as per my personal taste:

1. Default Launcher | Package Name: 'com.bbk.launcher2'

I use Nova as my preferred launcher so i removed the default launcher. You can still keep both if you want to and mark Nova as default. Make sure if you install any third party launcher before your remove the default launcher :good:

2. Vivo Browser | Package Name: 'com.vivo.browser'

I prefer Chrome over the stock browser so removed it

3. Vivo Email: | Package Name: 'com.vivo.email'

Prefer Gmail over any other email client so removed it

4. YouTube: | Package Name: 'com.google.android.youtube'

I use YouTube Vanced instead of stock Youtube due to adds and it offers a non rooted version which can simply be installed as an apk.

Find the latest version here & MicroG to be installed for login.

Follow the XDA Thread

5. Google Music | Package Name: 'com.google.android.music'

I use Poweramp as my preferred music player and Apple music as online streaming player so removed it

6. Play Movies | Package Name: 'com.google.android.videos'

Use Netflix / Amazon Video as preferred movie player so removed it

7. Touchpal Keyboard | Package Name: 'com.emoji.keyboard.touchpal.vivo'

Use SwiftKey as my preferred keyboard since many years so removed the default keyboard.
