Packages required to be kept or else Amazon Signing in won't work:

com.amazon.tv.oobe (Holds the whole Amazon Account setting)

com.amazon.ale (Is in charge of keeping the account connections to work)

com.amazon.katoch (Same with this one. Don't disable and remove)

com.amazon.naatyam (This one too. It messes up the account connections if deleted and disabled)

com.amazon.ceviche (This one too.)

com.amazon.csm.htmlruntime-stub

com.amazon.tv.routing

com.amazon.tcomm (Communication services with the Amazon Service, in charge of accounts)

com.amazon.communication (tcomm client for signing in)

Packages that somehow bootloop/breaks home menu on your Fire TV Stick 4K if removed and disabled:

TIFObserverService

MetricsService

MetricsApi

com.amazon.metrics.api

ExtServices

amazon.jackson19 (safe to disable, if removed it breaks the home menu)

Packages that mess up movie trailers from working:

com.amazon.communication (tcomm client, used for communications with Amazon, for some reason it temporarily "hides" com.amazon.avod meant for trailers to play and gets rid of the whole trailer functionality altogether)

com.amazon.tcomm (Same with this one)

com.amzon.dp.logger (If removed, the trailer icon is gone completely, package name doesn't make any sense with what it means, it is completely safe to disable.)

DeviceMessagingAndroid (If removed, your Fire TV Stick 4K will endlessly load fighting for a connection, removes trailer functionality as well, if disabled, it breaks trailers from playing)

DeviceMessagingAndroidInternalSDK (Safe to disable, not remove. Same issue here as it loads endlessly if removed)

DeviceMessagingAndroidSDK (Safe to disable, same as other two with loading issues upon reboot)

Packages required for updating to work on setup wizard:

DeviceSoftwareOTA

DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts

(Forgot the third DeviceSoftwareOTA folder in priv-app, safe to remove)

com.amazon.tv.forcedotaupdater.v2

To block updates completely, go to /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and rename the .zip to back then reboot. It helps a lot when factory resetting as it "thinks" its trying to "update" but skips. Anyways, that's it for my guide about what some packages mean and what they're in charge of. This guide may change in the future as Amazon rolls out their ota updates that change what these packages are doing in the background.
[Fire TV General] funkybluemonkey3:
Any idea which app controls the "press home button for 10 seconds to pair" screen that shows when you first start a new fire stick? I'm curious if you rename or remove this app if it will still require a remote control to set up a new firestick as I don't have that.
[Fire TV General] 0815hoffi:
You can use CEC with the TV remote to pair the Firetv remote.

I Think its the oobe....apk which will be Auto disable After the initial Setup.
[Fire TV General] tsynik:
it's probably OOBE (Setup Wizard)
[Fire TV General] Skel40:
Its most likely the bluetooth package found in /system/app (which isn't recommended to delete since Bluetooth is required for the Fire TV to work unless CEC control is possible). OOBE is responsible for pulling together the Amazon Communication Services as I tested out what OOBE does and it relies on the packages I referenced on my OP
[Fire TV General] tsynik:
This is a parts of OOBE (see attachs)
[Fire TV General] funkybluemonkey3:
That's very cool I didn't know you could pull apart an APK file like that. I don't really speak robot but, it looks like it's calling out for the remote control. Think it would be possible to hard-code in a "yes" response and then save the file?
[Fire TV General] Skel40:
Unfortunately I do not let me take a look tomorrow for it
[Fire TV General] Bertonumber1:
Hey @Skel40 here is a link to a folder of almost entire system apks (the ones most people debloat)

If you want to link it incase anyone makes a blunder they can just push> install the apk(s) lost instead of worrying about reset.

File folder on MEGA

mega.nz

It is not a full folder to download (unless they want to) members can cherry pick what they might need :cool:
[Fire TV General] Skel40:
Nice! That's definitely making a lot of things more easier to understand! I got the full list myself when I create the debloated roms listing the files I have removed with their proper file locations they belong
[Fire TV General] Skel40:
I have the package name! It's com.amazon.cast.sink if this is what you're wondering?
[Fire TV General] Bertonumber1:
Good show mate, just trying to make it a bit easier for folk like me who fk up a lot lol :p but they should come in useful.

Will post a link to other stuff like boot.img, build.prop (modded and unmodded) and newer stock firmwares too soon if its not going to tangle things up for you I'll put in another thread
[Fire TV General] savelbys:
no, that isn`t it.

From where you have that package? I don't disabled that.

I Used the debloater from TechDoctorUK

Firestick Debloat Tool v3 (18th Sept) | TechDoctorUK

www.techdoctoruk.com

on a Fire TV 4K Stick and disabled all with that debloater, only prime video not.

Now when i want to Screen Mirroring/Miracast from a mobile Phone to the Stick, the Stick is not showing up.
[Fire TV General] Bertonumber1:
Reenable all apks with word "whisper" and reboot
[Fire TV General] savelbys:
There is nothing with "whisper"

All packages:

Spoiler content hidden.
[Fire TV General] Skel40:
Enable com.amazon.awvflingreceiver

The name of the package is built in receiver meaning its responsible for casting functionalities

It's responsible for the casting you were talking about then reboot
[Fire TV General] savelbys:
The Fire TV Stick is displayed, then I connect it to the phone but the connection is broken/it doesn't work/no picture is displayed from the phone

You probably need everything completely original for this to work, I also still have the Wolf Launcher
[Fire TV General] Skel40:
I recommend re-enabling all the packages you've disabled
[Android Head-Units] jepzdzidy:
Hi, I'm using one of those chinese units called Podofo, with my lg G7. My problem is that when I turn on the unit, it wont connect with a2dp automatically(it blinks for a second). Phone calls are working without any problem but every time when I want to play music from my phone I need to open bluetooth settings, turn off media audio and turn it on again to make it work...

My previous phone lg G6 didnt have this issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevlicK:
It has been a while since I did this trick so I'm doing my best to recall exactly what the tutorial said. I couldn't find anything via the search function and googling so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to help me reverse it.

So roughly a year ago, I found a performance tweak trick on (I believe) XDA that required you to use AndroidSDK to change some settings on your phone so that it, if I recall correctly, forced some of the background apps to close (or something similar...I could be completely wrong about what it did). It was a non-root method.

One of the key distinctive features of using this trick was that you would not be able to see the power consumption of each app in the phone settings anymore

.

Since doing this tweak, android auto would constantly disconnect and reconnect from my car and I suspect that the tweak was causing the problem (Note: I installed the ability to use android auto via a 3rd party tweak and not from the dealer). I did not have any issues with using android auto until after doing the performance tweak, hence my suspicion. I also don't have a spare android to troubleshoot whether the problem is actually my phone. There hasn't been a noticeable difference in performance on my phone either after using the tweak so I would like to reverse it.

Notwithstanding my ability to find another android phone to troubleshoot with, the alternative option would be to do a factory reset on the phone.

Do you mean you can't access the app power monitor settings on your Android device?

Example screenshot:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevlicK:
I can, it's just that the power consumption of apps page doesn't show anything/

[MENTION=1890170]jwoegerbauer[/MENTION]

Clarification: Battery usage for software shows up as 0% and the Power Consumption Page does not show any apps using battery power (but I can still see the hardware usage e.g screen, gps bluetooth etc)
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] hommer315:
Hello, a question, I have received a Huawei p40 pro (ELS-NX9) Blue bought in a store in Spain. With Cust C636.

I will continue to receive new Firmware updates (rom), even if I have the cust 636 (Asia pacific) using it in Spain ?. I ask this, because I have read that if you have a phone with a different region than the Sim card you do not receive new firmware updates (rom). For example, will I receive version 10.1.0.131 (C636) using the phone with Spanish Sim?

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] asfazrq:
Hello I have an LG G6 H871 AT&T Version upgrade to Android 10. Is there any way to upgrade to upgrade to Android 10. Assistance is greatly appreciated.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rcky844:
Simple answer, NO! But here's what I have to add:

If you are trying to say you want update to newer Android versions without unlocking your bloader, no! QCOM has stopped support for this old msm8996 chipset.

If you say you somehow have unlocked bloader please try to compile your ROM from LG sources.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] kamalaggi:
I just pre-ordered this phone and bought this case. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B085LR78D9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A1VXTSRX565TLZ&psc=1.

Is there any good tempered glass out there?

Is it also worth getting a screen protector for the camera as well. I saw this on ebay? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Screen-P...brand=upscreen&_trksid=p2047675.c101195.m1851
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] dvdman2k:
I'm gonna wait for the tingle fusion x. Been using them for years. They also have lanyard holes
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] tonn333:
I think you mean Ringke Fusion X

Do you know if they will make it?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
I've ordered this glass screen protector:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143582052964

And this case:

https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/olixar-exoshield-sony-xperia-1-ii-case-black-80635

The case has arrived and it has a nice solid feel to it, with the cushioned corners. The clear back looks nice too. It has a nice slim feel and I can already see with the nice width, one handed use will be great.

Can't wait for the phone to arrive!
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] dvdman2k:
Yep sorry about that.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] tonn333:
So I contacted Ringke and they don't have any plans to make a case for Xperia 1 II
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] dvdman2k:
Thanks for checking. Gonna start looking for another. I'm use to having a lanyard on my phone. I don't think mark 2 has lanyard holes.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] kazuhira_dokky:
Any good recommendations?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] xnpu:
I installed AOKUMA Super Glass from Amazon and it's pretty bad. Makes the screen more grayish and reflective than it should be. Receiving another brand today. (Also some unknown brand - I have yet to find a reputable brand that offers Xperia 1 ii protectors.)
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] tonn333:
Any news? Received my phone yesterday.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] xnpu:
Now using one from MSOVA. The picture quality is miles better. But it does have the problem that it comes up at the edges a bit. Depending on the cover you use this may or may not be an issue to you.

In any case it's better than the one I had previously.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] Gigio755:
I'm waiting for the Spigen glass here with the Spigen rugged armor here, i hope they are good
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
I have the case and it's really good. A nice tight solid feel to it, grippy and feels very nice. Just ordered that screen protector too!
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
Spigen tempered glass update:

Fits great but just does not fully adhere. There is not a single speck of dust under the screen protector and so that part of the installation went fine, but despite endless squeegee'ing those bubbles just keep coming back. It's not air that's trapped underneath but instead the screen protector just lifts back up. As you can see, all the bubbles are exactly on the edge of the screen and haven't formed on the bezel etc.

It fits great and feels nice, but the being unable to remove the bubbles is a deal breaker.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
See my above review, hope you have more success than I have....
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] dvdman2k:
Mine is ok now. I did have few small bubbles at the bottom of phone but they have disappeared now. The applicator was ready to use.

I'm happy with the the Spigen rugged case and glad screen protector.View attachment 5051923
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
Jealous! It is a nice screen protector, I just couldn't for the life of me get rid of them bubbles and they didn't go away for me :(
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] dvdman2k:
Might be faulty, contact them and they should replace it.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
Thanks yeah, I've emailed their customer service and will see what they say
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] Gigio755:
me too, i send it back as faulty .. i don't know if i will buy it again .. i had a LG G4 for 5 years and some months and only some light scratch barely visible after years, so i don't really know if i will buy it again for this Sony :eek:
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
Glad (in a way) it wasn't just me. After emailing their EU customer service (I'm in the UK) and provided details of the Amazon purchase, they have instigated the refund without me needing to return.

Got these coming today, will update here how I get on though the reviews seem positive:

[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] Rodders_28:
I bought the GEEMEE ones off Amazon, only ones in stock at the time. But it seems good, nice and smooth. Could do with being 1mm wider, which is being very lucky.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] brockyneo:
Got the xperia mk2 coming tomorrow is the display flat so we can just use a standered tempered glass protector

Coming form the note 10 plus been a nightie for screen protectors
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] mcawle:
How did you find these ones?

I got an Ultimate Shield, it seems pretty good but there are some bubbles I can't get rid of and it has a black border that appears to encroach the screen a bit on the sides. Wondering about replacing with an all clear one and was looking at the ones you reference here.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
Yeah I found that about the Ultimate Shield one, cuts a small bit of the screen off with the border which I too didn't like.

As for this other one, it has a very noticeable outline to it which I also don't like, so currently just doing without and soon I may get a Brotect film screen protector...
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] mcawle:
Thanks. So the all clear one didn't cover as much of the screen and so was prominently bumpy? Do you use a case?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
Yeah I use it a case but really didn't like that outline, it's not very discrete and you can definitely see the screen protector. I don't think it suits it!
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] kamalaggi:
Has anyone tried this?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Pro...qid=1594832530&sprefix=xperia+1+ii+spi&sr=8-5

Is it full adhesive?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
I had this, here's my review extracted from Amazon:

Fits great but just does not fully adhere. There is not a single speck of dust under the screen protector and so that part of the installation went fine, but despite endless squeegee'ing those bubbles just keep coming back. It's not air that's trapped underneath but instead the screen protector just lifts back up. As you can see, all the bubbles are exactly on the edge of the screen and haven't formed on the bezel etc.

It fits great and feels nice, but the being unable to remove the bubbles is a deal breaker.

Also seems I wasn't the only one, yet a couple of people had faultless installations. Perhaps give it a try and if not, Spigen may refund you like they did with me. Email them directly if so with your order number as this way I didn't have to have the hassle of returning it
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] sudman:
Do not buy anything from BroTect on Ebay, they advertise as being tempered glass screen protectors but in actual fact it's just a sheet of plastic!!
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] augie7107:
I have this one and it is working well. Only downfall is the dot pattern in sunlight is visible.

https://www.mobilefun.com/olixar-sony-xperia-1-ii-full-cover-glass-screen-protector-black-80691
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
Ah interesting!

Hmm well I'd actually want the film one, but perhaps I'll avoid just in case (or await a review from someone if so...).

I must say though, given I've not got any screen protection on - so far so good! That's not the right mentality I know, but I've kinda got used to going bare

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

Thanks. Shame about the dots...
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] kamalaggi:
I bought the screen protector. It fits perfectly but you need a little patience. There were bubbles when i applied. Takes a little time to get rid of them but afterwards its great. Its also full adhesive.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] cd993:
Hmmm interesting.... Perhaps I'll give it another try sometime

Cheers
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] Lennyuk:
I got the spigen protector after checking a lot of reviews and this seemed to be the best - used spigen for years for cases so trusted them as a brand anyway.

I have no complaints, fitting was a doddle, entire surface is sticky (meaning bubbles shouldn't occur/can be removed), and fits the phone perfectly, especially if you use a spigen case.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] dragion:
I just purchased the same one with the Sentinel case combo.

Still haven't have the chance to see about the dot pattern in the sun since we're experiencing thunderstorms here all day and didn't go out.

Fits the Xperia 1 II perfectly and very easy installation.

Overall, happy with the screen protector.

I previously ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor case and will be returning it since it's still within the return period...no reason to have 2 similar looking cases.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] itagouki:
I'm using a cheap 10€ tempered glass bought from a phone shop. We can see the borders don't stick. I might remove it because the display is worse.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Accessories] all0gIc:
I find that so strange/annoying that a lot of these case/cover/screen protector companies have very little support for Sony Products. When I contacted them they state that Sony don't sell enough units to make it worth their while, really frustrating!
