OK seems I have a stable phone again after using emma again and managing to load properly. Will do the twrp and root parts again. Also I think I botched the back up step in that link. Im going to follow it again.

Hi.

I am preparing to port the touch screen for the round screen using wear OS.

What if a touchscreen reports coordinates outside the round?

For example, coordinate (1,1) are not on the screen. What if the touchscreen reports this coordinate?
[Shield Q&A] RaddedMC:
Hey guys! I'm new to XDA and customromming/rooting in general. Years ago I got a shield portable and although I really like the hardware, I thought that the software and specifically game library needed work. Well, the game library situation was fixed thanks to Steam Link's release, but I'd like to use my shield for a little more.

I recently gifted my Fire Stick to my parents so they could watch netflix with a proper remote instead of a mouse on a laptop, and was wondering if I could install a modern rom to my shield portable and hook it up to the TV to act as a slightly slower Shield TV 2020? I'm looking for a rom that has all of the Google goodies like Assistant, linking to ghome, the leanback launcher, and the 'chromecast built-in' feature. Any way that can be done?

PS: As I said I'm new to XDA, so I apologize if this thread was posted to the wrong section.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BostonDan:
So my shield totally died last weekend. It will only boot to fastboot and will not accept a flash nor boot to recovery. Not sure if I should try swapping out the drive and seeing if I can bring it back to life. Anybody has any suggestions or ideas? Just trying to decide if it's worth it to bring back or if I should just invest in a 2019 Shield Pro.

Cheers,

B.D.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moha85:
Why did the shield die?

Mine died when I upgraded to 8.2, everything before was perfect.

Now I have dumped a backup following these steps https://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/general/guide-migrate-to-ssd-hdd-size-satv-pro-t3440195

the version was very old and was much updating without problems, until it reached 8.0 and died again

Regards
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BostonDan:
Mine died due to the hard drive failing. I can get it back up to 8.0 but I'm trying to recover my widevine encryption keys. Crossing fingers that ddrescue will come through.

[Shield Android TV General] LaFemme69:
I've been having a dilema about my 2017 nvidia shield and wondering if anyone can shed some lights.

I noticed that for some odd reasons all 3 of my 2017 nvidia shields wired internet capped at about 250Mbps. I've tried all different scenerios....plugged directly to modem, router, CAT 5e/6 cables.......all Gigabit setup. compared to PC with the same setup, I get about 1.1Gbps. I have 1Gbps internet.

I digged up further on Google, this is an apparent issue with n.shields but none of the forums provide a working solution. So far I have no issue streaming 4K content but I still wish to sort out the difference......yes, I am ANAL!!!

posting here in hope I can get an answer.

thanx

Hello,

I don't know why, but on my Asus A696 with wm6 (oem) i can't change today's theme

I downloaded new one from microsoft or other web site, nothing change

The only way i find to change color of my ppc is to use tdyscheme changer + add a picture

My reseler wants to return my product to asus ! ? what is your opinion ?

I don't get it....your reseller wants to return your device, so you want to change the registry why?
[General Topics] fab475:
I think it's a sofware trouble, and can be solve.

Maybe i think wrong, that's why i'm asking you

I prefer do not return to reseler because i should

* wait for reparing, and i'm not sure that asus will restore My own product (i'm affraid that Asus will return me another product, and i don't want it)

* re install all my software,

[General Topics] derekwilkinson:
They want you to return it because you can't change the today theme?

What should happen when you download those files are that they are .tsk, you copy them to the device, and open them. It should lead you to the Today settings, and change the theme for you.
[General Topics] fab475:
==> derekwilkinson

Yes, because i can"t change theme they ask me to return product :eek: :confused: :mad:

Yes, it's TSK files, original from asus installed on ppc, or downloaded from microsoft ...

File are in My documents, and now my documents\themes

2 way for changing screen, execute directly the tsk or from today menu

But after click ok, nothing change.

--> This afternoon i will try to save all my data for do a new hard reset

after that, i will record on a movie my screen.

(Do you know a free software for make a backup ?)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] freezingpoint:
I have this issue where the phone randomly reboots. It doesn't happen when the screen is off. It happened when I was on the home screen, in settings, or in an app. It happens in random times, doesn't matter if it's 5 or 15 or 30 minutes. It just randomly reboots.

I have done a factory reset and it still has the same issue. The only thing that stopped this was using the old navigation bar.

Did anyone encounter this issue as well? I have been using the phone for almost 2 hours and no reboots, thankfully.

It'd be my worst nightmare to have to go through Samsung support as we all know they're useless and this covid makes it worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] alfamega190:
Try safe mode to see if one of installed apps is the culprit. I have not had any random reboots and I have full screen gestures enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] freezingpoint:
I just booted into safe mode then turned on the full screen gestures. Rebooted after 3 seconds.

I'm hoping an update will fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] nexendz:
Had random reboots on my s20 had to send it to Samsung to replace the mother board
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] freezingpoint:
Okay, so to be more specific, the phone randomly reboots when I'm using the swipe up for home, swipe and hold for recents, and swipe side for back.

Now I'm using the gestures where you swipe up on the navigation bar for recents, home, and back. No reboots yet after about 10 minutes of use. Hopefully it won't happen again as this is what I always use.

Just please no hardware issues.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] PhobiaSoft:
I was surprised to learn that my device came with all of these Verizon services preloaded (but disabled at least) even though I purchased the unlocked version. Its kind of disturbing to learn the amount of influence Verizon has on device manufacturers, I was happy to see it gone. Thanks for the helpful list!

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------

Actually, has anyone tested using this command to uninstall the Phone application? i use Google Hangouts exclusively for phonecalls, meaning that every call I receive on my SIM number is either a missdial or spam, and since Android doesn't let you mute those notifications, it can be pretty annoying as you might expect. Some devices tolerate the uninstallation of the Phone app just fine, while others will crash and reboot from an incoming call with no application to handle it. I'm planning to go with a custom ROM once one is available, so I will test this personally soon to see how the 4a behaves :)
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] Riku98523:
I have an unlocked phone and there is no Verizon apps. If you bought it from Verizon that's the problem.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] PhobiaSoft:
I didn't buy it from Verizon, I bought the unlocked version from the Google Store. The apps don't appear on the phone itself, only when you push "Adb shell pm list package -d". Try it for yourself.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] fronto:
same here...mine is Fi directly from Google Fi store and it had all those Verizon apps even though Fi does not use Verizon!
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] digger16309:
I have an unlocked phone and the Verizon apps are on it, but disabled and not visible. They do show up in Titanium Backup, which is the only way I knew they were there.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] yaggermr:
I bought my phone unlocked from Google and it grabbed a bunch of AT&T bloatware. I use an AT&T sim so I figure it sends a pull request and grabs that garbage on first run. Easy to uninstall but pretty ****ty.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] PhobiaSoft:
Definitely possible. The weird thing is that I use a T Mobile SIM. So no idea where my Verizon stuff came from unless Google flashes the same image to every phone and then "activates" the Verizon apps if you buy the Verizon version? I have no idea truthfully. If so, what a ****ty way to do it...
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] digger16309:
Turning off, or freezing Photos, breaks the camera preview of recent shots you've taken. I just tried it and got a black screen. It wouldn't access my third-party gallery app. When I unfroze Photos, the preview worked (again). I don't want Photos running nor do I want to use it, but it seems like that camera functionality is broken without it(?)
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] aven_soulgazer:
I thought the "# Tethering (Un)Entitlement " would be where the phone checks to see if you can tether or not. When I disabled it the tethering option was greyed out and couldn't even tether through my visible card. My plan is so old that they didn't say we could or could not use hotspot but with the 4a now it tells me I can't if I try to enable it.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] dpaine88:
I'm gonna give this a shot, thanks for posting!

With this method, do system updates or factory resets undo this debloating?

Thanks for the post.

Do you know what to disable to remove the obnoxious date and weather "widget" from the home screen?
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] xxTECRAxx:
i am not running the stock google nexus launcher but iirc, you just hold down that date/weather widget (while on the home screen obviuously) for a second or two and then either drag the widget to the top of the screen OR select remove if a menu appears. i run nova launcher and that widget can be added or removed similarly and it's referred to as google's "At A Glance" widget. i ran grep on "google" which produced a bigger list, also "glance", which produced nothing, and finally "widget". that output is below:

sunfish:/ $ pm list packages | grep "widget"
package:com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget

there's the "At A Glance" widget
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] dpaine88:
I'm wondering if some of these actually are necessary. Settings has been acting strange and force closing a lot since disabling these. Haven't made any other sort of system changes.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DB126:
Debloaters are netoriously aggressive w/o a demonstrated benefit for each item on the scratch list. Adverse side effects are common. My advise is to use the tools already built into Android to identify offenders and only act on those that are truly egregious. Share your experiences so others can learn.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] xxTECRAxx:
bruh, you're going to need to be more detailed with your responses in order to receive help. specifically, which p4a do you have (verizon, fi, or whatever) on android 10 or 11? which of the apps did you disable and have you installed any apps post disabling some of the system apps?. can you give us a display output from

adb shell pm list packages

adb shell pm list packages -d

adb shell pm list packages -u
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] digger16309:
I don't use the method in the OP to disable apps. I use Titanium Backup (requires root) because if something screwy happens, it's easier to find the culprit and reverse it.

I disabled everything in the OP except Tethering, 1st run, and Photos. So far, so good on A10 running Nova launcher. I haven't had a Settings crash.

A bad disabling can cause that, but so can a poorly matched launcher, or an older app that Hooks Settings that isn't updated for the latest Android version.

Are you rooted?

Also try clearing the cache/data in Google Play Services. I've found a corrupt Play Services update can crash Settings. In the past, I've had to revert to an older version manually and let it update again.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] dpaine88:
Damn you guys kick ass. I wasn't even really asking for help and certainly not expecting it but thank you!!! I was just gonna try to fix things on my own.

I was about to try the Android 11 beta anyways so I went ahead and updated to that which has helped SOME- Settings still will back out on its own or jump around but hasnt FC'd since. It is especially wonky on the battery page and will sometimes go back to home on its own.

So this is my first Android phone(going back to OG Droid) that I have NOT rooted. I normally would just freeze via TiBu myself too. I am also using Nova Launcher. I am using TMobile on the phone FWIW.

Here is the disabled packages list . I can do the others too but its quite long and didnt want to clog it up.

PS D:\Downloads\platform-tools_r30.0.3-windows\platform-tools> .\adb shell pm list packages -d
package:com.google.omadm.trigger
package:com.google.android.youtube
package:com.vzw.apnlib
package:com.android.sdm.plugins.connmo
package:com.verizon.mips.services
package:com.verizon.obdm_permissions
package:com.android.sdm.plugins.usccdm
package:com.android.sdm.plugins.sprintdm
package:com.verizon.services
package:com.android.sdm.plugins.diagmon
package:com.google.android.apps.wellbeing
package:com.google.android.apps.carrier.log
package:com.android.chrome
package:com.google.android.partnersetup
package:com.customermobile.preload.vzw
package:com.google.android.feedback
package:com.android.sdm.plugins.dcmo
package:com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
package:com.android.bookmarkprovider
package:com.google.android.projection.gearhead
package:com.verizon.obdm
package:com.google.android.tetheringentitlement
package:com.android.omadm.service
package:com.google.android.apps.wearables.maestro.companion
package:com.google.android.hiddenmenu
package:com.google.android.apps.youtube.music
package:com.android.connectivity.metrics
package:com.verizon.llkagent

This one is interesting

package:com.google.android.hiddenmenu

Looks like in general a lot of apps are disabled by default? Cause there's plenty I don't see in the OP list but I have only done things on that list.

Can anyone who has not disabled anything post their disabled list please?

[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DB126:
Hum, Android auto is a user installed app. You should be able to fully uninstall using conventional means. Might be something your carrier added which can be tough to kill depending on the approach they took.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeuBug:
Thanks for your help.

Before, I have uninstalled all the apps like you said. But there are still prebuilt apks in system folders. And it's that I would like to clear...

[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] DB126:
Probably can't be much additional help. I rarely ditch pre-installed components on 'clean' ROMs unless there is a resource use/abuse issue.

You could go the custom launcher route and 'hide' items that are bothersome.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeuBug:
Thanks, apps don't appear on any launcher, just in the apps menu. I'm a little manic that's all :D
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] switcher:

[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] abhishekpandey.468:
thanks

I have finally disabled most of the useless apps and i want to know that in running services i see connectivity health service running . so i wanna know if it is of any use and if i can disable it or not?
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] ka1rat:
Would like to add some extra apps for disabling. Considering them as a bloatware too:

# Google Tips app

pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.apps.tips

# Google Services for AR

pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.ar.core

# Google Playground (ex VR Stickers)

pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.vr.apps.ornament

# Gboard (Stock Google Keyboard). Remember to replace it with other keyboard first (!!!)

pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] digger16309:
I've done this in the past and regretted it. When the replacement keyboard flaked out after an update, I was left without one. I had backups password protected. Play store login wasn't set to automatic either. I forget now how I solved it, but never again will I disable the stock keyboard.
[Google Pixel 4a Guides, News, & Discussion] ersnkhrmn:
Hello, and thanks for the brilliant tips!

There is also the possibility to disable/uninstall the System update app?

Is it the command "com.android.dynsystem"?

I also found a video:

Could this also work with the Pixel?!?

I am more than an amateur in this field.

Sorry for my poor english...I am only a german :)
