So, it's a well known fact that a lot of us hate miui mostly because of the number of bloatwares it comes with. While we can easily uninstall the third party bloatwares, but the problem comes in when it comes to system apps. We can't simply uninstall them, neither can we disable them (surprisingly miui doesn't show any disbale option or even if it's there, it's already greyed out). So, we need to either root our device to easily uninstall them or need to use a bit more complex ADB method.

So, today I will share an easy but tricky way to disable any system app. It has two advantages over ADB debloat method or root method. First, you don't need to be technically sound. Second, you can revert them back in just one tap if you feel so.

So just follow the below steps to disable any system apps in miui.

1. Open Google Play Store

2. Go to the top left menu option

3. Scroll down and click on "Help & feedback"

4. Now click on "Browse all articles"

5. Now locate "Delete or disable apps on android"

6. Click on it and then click on "Tap to go to application settings"

7. Now you will be presented with all apps that are there on your device. Just tap on the app of your desire.

8. Click on "Disable" and voila! The app is disabled as long as you don't wish to enable it again.

I know some users will say it won't free up space as it will still be present on the device. That's partly true. While the app is still present on the device and still occupies space, but it won't add up any additional data and wont run in the background. I'm sure you know what happens when you disable an app. So, I don't want any argument which is better and blah blah!! Remember, this method is mainly for people who need a solution as simple as possible.

So, what are you waiting for? Go try it today! ?

N.B. Sorry if the post is a bit long. I love explaining things in a detailed way. :p

not working on 9.1.24
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saswata Chakraborty:
Lol. You want some proof? I am using 9.1.24 myself and I have disabled Chrome and Gmail by this method. Plzz don't write negative comments if you cant follow the steps properly.

FYI: Sometimes you need to uninstall the updates first before disabling an app. That's how it is. It has nothing to do with miui.

For uninstalling updates, tap on the bottom "More" on the app setting page.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TekHck:
lol
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saswata Chakraborty:
Dude, there's a reason why android doesn't let you disable certain apps. You can't call anything and everything as bloatwares. The app you are trying to disable is an essential part of miui and is responsible for the updates of system apps. Without this app, you won't be able to update any system apps. The same goes for Camera, Clock, Contacts, Dialer, Gallery, Messaging etc. It's not a fault of miui. That's how android works. Use your common sense!!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TekHck:
okay. u should update you op coz u mentioned we can disable any system apps. i have uninstalled "apps" before using root. for me Xiaomi Browser is bloatware too. I have used your instruction and failed to disable. common sense isn't so common.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] franz:
no, that's not an "essential" part of the OS. The phone will still function perfectly well even if that app is disabled. please, quit your bs. this has nothing to do with how android works, miui doesn't let you disable it, that's all. it's upto your oem, android, by default will let you disable every single app, whether it breaks your phone or not.

Hello

i own this great phone but i have aproblem.

I use often app like tasker,autometit and so on to enable bluetooth automatically when i am driving.

Problem is that EMUI asks every time to confirm enabling bluetooth make using of tasker unuseful. I know that is a common problem but i would like to know if there is a solution for it

Thanks in advance
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
This doesn't directly answer your question but EMUI has more aggressive power savings features than you might be accustomed to so turning Bluetooth on and off might not be necessary. Leaving Bluetooth enabled all the time creates very little idle battery drain.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] ady72:
Thanks a lot for suggest.If i will not solve this situation, i will follow it :)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Grondah:
It's definitely a strange issue. I've checked the permissions of an app via adb and it has the BLUETOOTH_ADMIN permission but still gets the Deny/Allow prompt.

Very annoying.

I think it's an EMUI problem or function...But at now no soultion to avoid prompt...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] The_Quantum_Guy:
After comprehending the HUGE differences between the performance of the Exynos and Snapdragon model (thanks to Anandtech and Gary Explains YouTube), I am thinking of buying the Snapdragon model from U.S. and importing it to India. Wanted to know wether or not is it worth it, the hassles of doing so, and is there a better option than Amazon for it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] AFewLads:
I would strongly advise not going down this route. I did the exact same thing with my previous S8. What Samsung don't tell you is that they include a region lock on their devices. In order to remove the lock, you need to use 5 minutes of call time in that particular country to unlock it. I purchased my phone in the US and initially and used the phone to get the unlock, without any knowledge. The issues arose when I brought it back to the UK and flashed my own firmware. In this case, a beta firmware update. By doing my own flash, it then reset the lock removing access to the galaxy app store, samsung pay and a number of other apps.

You can find an example of this by simply googling samsung region lock.

If it's simply a performance issue, I would stick with the Exynos processor. My note 9 has had no issues in performance whatsoever and would strongly recommend the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] The_Quantum_Guy:
Thank You AFewLads for bringing this issue to the fore and potentially saving me a lot of money !!! Btw, just for my curiosity (and probably a few others), what did you do with your S8 then ?:confused:
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iyadengle:
1- download this Firmware NB1-488B-0-00WW-B04.qlz Via this link https://bit.ly/2CZS4Z2

2- Flash via NOST https://github.com/StollD/NOST/releases

3- download and flash thes ota update via adb sideload https://bit.ly/2Rs4y0Y

Now you can install January security patch Without any problems :):)
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] THMSP:
Thumbs up for this(!), but you might want to suggest that the user just flashes the 5110 qlz since thats the official Pie build (December update).

Alternatively you can only sideload the OTA update zip that was linked, it is a full OTA and updates to Pie-December from any other build as long as you have stock recovery.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ILoveAndroid77:
I did the sideload OTA thing (Slot B = Pie Dec., magisk patched boot image, Slot A = Oreo May (or Juin?)) stock image.

It failed for the Slot B (i think) with message timestamp of update 1543458509 is older than current image 1545911676.

Slot A was patched successfully.

After reboot magisk is gone. Total desaster :(

Can please someone explain how to root with magisk a pie december? or how to use the prepatched boot images?

I'd like to have a rooted system able to do the monthly OTAs (with the magisk "restore, do OTA, patch inactive slot" thing.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ILoveAndroid77:
What I did, similar to https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78171178&postcount=95, but I did not see this post before I figured it out by myself, but I think this won't work anyway, as booting the modified boot image simply does not work for me, only booting to the modified twrp boot image via "boot to recovery".

So I did:

prepare:

- backup internal "sdcard", backup apps/settings with titaniumbackup

- reset to factory default (while flashing stock pie with NOST, option erase user data)

a)

- flash the 5110 qlz pie full stock rom with NOST tool as linked and described here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78804078&postcount=2

- boot new system -> current slot is slot a with pie 01.12. (the same on both slots?)

- OTA to slot b and reboot

-> result: slot a = 1.12., slot b = 1.1., slot b is active

b)

- reboot to bootloader

- verify that current slot is b: fastboot getvar current-slot

- change to a: fastboot --set-active=a

- flash twrp boot rom to boot_a: fastboot flash boot_a "twrp... .img" from "repository" linked here https://xdaforums.com/nokia-8/how-t...le-nokia-8-t3867037/post78802351#post78802351 (https://bit.ly/nokia-nb1)

- reboot to recovery

-> twrp recovery should start

- install magisk zip (copy to sd card before rebooting to bootloader)

- reboot, system boots to slot a / pie 01.12.

- install magisk via magisk manager app to the inactive slot

- reboot bootloader

- flash stock image on slot a from "repository" above

- change active slot back to b, if not active anyway (should be active already because of the "install to inactive slot"

- reboot again

-> should boot to slot b with pie 01.01.2019, and should be rooted.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] alex_ncfc:
I installed the Android Pie update for my P20 phone and I noticed that there is now a lot of white areas in the UI which are really bright - the pull down status buttons from the toolbar are now all white and so is the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. I preferred it before how it was on Oreo and I am wondering if there is a dark setting anywhere that I have missed?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Killuminati91:
Hey guys,

decided to flash the latest DBT Firmware via Odin to get back to stock completely. (G930FXXU3ESA3)

After flashing the firmware through Odin the phone reboots and then installs an update and erases data (blue background).

After a second reboot I end up with a blue screen and the simple error: "No command".

I can not get into recovery, as I end up with the same error message wether booting into recovery or the system.

I CAN however get into downloadmode and flash twrp, after that I can boot into system but I want to keep the whole system vanilla, without TWRP.

Installing TWRP keeps the device encrypted, no matter what. I can wipe, then install no-verity-encrypt and as soon as I reboot the device is encrypted again.

Ive tried: Different Firmware Version (December 2018), 3 different cables, different odin versions.

Edit: attached an Image of the message that Pops up after about 30sec on the no command screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Ok, so your device will take UK Unbranded BTU firmware. You can get it from a few sources and even direct from Samsung servers with Samtool.

Forget all that flashing TWRP and non verify nonsense, if you can get into download mode you can flash firmware, obviously make sure the firmware downloaded is not corrupt etc.

I've used Odin V10 -13 to flash BTU and every version flashed it correctly. Sometimes you do get that "installing update" and then "erasing" but that's fine just leave the phone for a few minutes it should eventually reboot normally.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Killuminati91:
Just tried the latest BTU with Odin 3.13.1, same problem. Its reboots into the blue screen, applying system update to about 32% and then switches to "Erasing". After about 1min it reboots, shows "Installing System update" for a second and I end up with "No command" again. And from there on it just constantly reboots into the "No command" screen.

This seems like the same problem. I can not enter stock recovery to wipe though...

Things ive tried so far:

- Different firmware Versions (all oreo since downgrading is impossible)

- Formating with pit files

- Different Odin Versions

- Unplugging and replugging the battery

- Installing TWRP, wiping data and then installing stock recovery through TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Scorpionea:
Did u try in Odin nand erase and repatition option? If not try it ( make sure u have pit file extracted or downloaded from the net)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Killuminati91:
Did a efs backup through TWRP just in case, then flashed the latest DBT firmware with nand erase -> still the same problem.

I can only guess that this was caused by using a backup from another phone back when Oreo came out, this probably messed something up really badly. Very weird, im kinda lost.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Ok, from the no command screen do the following.

Hold power until phone switches off, then press power+home+volume up. The phone should now boot into original recovery screen. Select "wipe/factory reset" and then reboot device. Job done.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Killuminati91:
Tried that, recovery is simply not working. If I hold vol - + power + home to restart and switch immediatly to vol + I boot into the usual blue screen with No command. I even tried unplugging the battery to shut off the phone and boot into recovery from there but that is not working either. Sorry should have stated that more clearly.

If I flash TWRP however, I can easily boot into TWRP with the recovery button combo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Ok it's a tricky one so one more thing I would suggest is download and install Samsung smart switch on your PC, place the phone in download mode plug it into lap top and choose emergency software recovery in smart switch

Edit. I just remembered before that try this button combo from the no command screen volume up+volume down+power.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Killuminati91:
Hmmh. Searched a lot for the version that still supported emergency recovery. (which seems to be 4.0). If I go into download mode, start smartswitch and try to use emergency recovery there is nothing for me to select.

Volume up + down and power gives me the terminal like look which I attached in the first post with all those error messages.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
The EFS partition is corrupt or blank, it's the only logical explanation but the TWRP back up should solve that, without looking at it my self and running some commands i cant help your further.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Killuminati91:
TWRP backup was created after I ran into problems though. Ive checked some more things and it seems like the serial number that is displayed (in combination rom and or Z3X) is not the same SN that is printed on the back of the phone. Could this be related? And how would I go about changing it back to the one on the sticker? The IMEI is correct.

Had someone who was more into the whole thing contact me here but when I wanted to "donate" only half of what he was asking he refused to help me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Thats because he's a scammer. Never donate to get your phone fixed! Donate to Rom developers and things you like but never to get the phone fixed, they're usually lying.

The serial number should be the same ON the phone as displayed IN phone. Tell me the story about the phone, how did you get it? what region? where are you? what firmware was installed? Can you still flash a ROM with TWRP? Can you check OEM unlock?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Killuminati91:
Pretty sure he was just trying to remote repair for a price, which is not allowed on XDA. Would obviously donated on my own if he actually fixed it.

Bought the phone unlocked directly from a provider (simply - germany - dbt - g930f) back in 2016. Tripped kn0x after a few months, installed a few custom roms until Oreo came out.

This is where I messed up I think: I used a TWRP backup from someone else that he had shared here on XDA, which probably included his /efs too.

Since then I had constant connection problems, weak internet connection, dropped calls and so on.

Broke my screen and then decided to repair it myself. Bought a new frame, screen, battery, usb-port, earpiece and vibrator - managed to assemble all of that.

I can install all latest official firmwares (bootloader 3) through Odin. If I leave it at that I have no recovery and end up with the initially shown screen and "No command".

If i install TWRP from there and simply root with magisk or apply dm-verity-fix I can boot into the stock firmware with everything working.

I can also install ROMs. Just going completely vanilla is not possible anymore. OEM Unlock is checked, USB debugging works.

Edit: What is also astounding: If I flash version DBT-G930FXXS3ERHD-20180918145033 (oldest possible Oreo Version) I can enter recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache.

If I do that however I am stuck at the Galaxy S7 Logo, not even bootlooping.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
awww.....come on man you should have said this at the start! Of course you can't use someone else's EFS data, it's unique to your handset. Custom Rom's patch some but not all EFS data that's why they work and in your case that's why Stock firmware isn't going too.

Anyway if this is the problem (and i suspect it is) there is only one way to fix it with Octopus box which can write all the important info back onto the EFS. Your IMEI, Serial, Mac address etc. Odin reads the info from the EFS prior to nand write start, if the phone serials don't match it will always fail at some point.

You can install a custom via twrp but it will not work correctly due to EFS data miss match. Octopus box is your answer.

I have exactly the same error with "fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#

My Tablet is now stuck with a blue "android dead" screen saying "No command".

My history to disaster:

- i've recovered a "broken" Samsung Tablet (sm-T585) with corrupted file system via

* Download Mode works -> TWRP install -> Mount option -> use ADB to recreate EFS partition -> re-flash stock image (android 8) with odin

- device works fine

- then i've noticed it can only be used with a certain cell provider (o2)

- then i've tried to flash an older version of the stock rom (android 7) due some problems in Android 8 (often some slow downs while operating)

- this doesn't work, the flash don't start

- therefore nothing should be happend, or?

- then i've can't get anymore in the stock recovery to wipe all data

...therefore the mess began:

* i can't flash TWRP anymore

* i can't flash stock recovery anymore

* i only can get into download mode

* i can only flash a certain rom type successfully (green PASS within odin), but with the final stuck with boot loop, with the mentioned blue screen

* other rom version can't flashed

I hopefully ask you guys here, if anyone can help me?
