[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] wugga3:
I have Magisk rooted global 10.0.15 rom on my OnePlus 7T.

While looking around I found the following apk - please reference attached screenshot.

I can't delete these apks and mount r/w does nothing; nor changing permissions either.

So, is thier any way to delete these apks?

Will deleting these apks have any side effects?

Haven't determined if a Magisk module could exist to deal with this (r/w permissions)?

Will I have to figure out abd commands on Windows 10 or live Linux CD/USB drive? It's it any easier using Linux?

Thanks
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Lossyx:
Use ADB or magisk debloat module, otherwise no way.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] i2andog:
Just freeze them.. I'm guessing it's not a storage issue but a personal bloat-ware issue that you don't want those apks running at all... So the easiest way for that to happen is to just put them on ice.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] wugga3:
Sorry to revive a most likely dead issue....

But...

I've only used TWRP on my OnePlus once... Lost TWRP with OTA update - so I really didn't get much of a chance to familiarize myself with TWRP on any OnePlus - like I've previously done with all my prior Samsung's.

Having said all that: I think I remember TWRP has a storage/file manager?

If that's correct... Then can I drill down into the OOS and delete whatever I like as opposed to the previously provided solutions (and yeah I've used both solutions with thanks ;)

For freezing apps I'm loving SD Maid and enjoy the additional features of that app and worth much more than I paid for it and it's wonderful that it's still seems to be maintained over the years....
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andr_kac:
I've found an old tablet - Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T211)

It's almost bricked - I cannot run it, OS doesn't start, looking on the screen - it starts up and reset in a circle.

But, here is one thing - when its battery is fully dead can connect it to the charger and then - start download mode (with buttons) or Galaxy Tab 3 screen (and nothing more here). This is only way to have anything else than black screen. Few minutes later, when battery has some energy, it doesn't work.

May I save this device? I now It's old and have limited performance, but It will be fine to get it back to life.

What do I need? What tools and rom?

I had the same problem during reflashing, it seemed the USB connection became very flakey with the PC saying unrecognised device, it was driving me mad, until I realised that I still had the SD card inserted. Removed the card and it connected and reflashed without problem. It seems that the boot mode USB connectioon is much more sensitive then normal, as if the extra power for the SD card made it fail!

and no problems with pairing? I can't pair my watch with 10lite. In the last stage of pairing it remains endless. I tried with newest and older galaxy wear app+watch plugin, but allways the same. On my other phones (Note 3 and Xiaomi) no problems.

Could root or open bootloader be the problem?

I have the 46mm version and no problem connecting what so ever. my phone is unrooted though.

I faced a problem when I migrated from my old S8 to the N10L which was that the watch was locked to my Samsung account and that I had to have the same Samsung account that was on the S8 logged in to on the N10L but that was it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] harvey:
Thanks for your feedback. I also have the 46mm, and i use the same samsung account on all my phones. Also i tried to pair with and without internet-connection with no success. So maybe it has to do with root.

Perhaps i will try again after receiving upgrade to Android 11 before rooting that.

[Google Chromecast] Intenti0n:
Operating system:Android™ 10

Chipset:Amlogic S905X3

CPU:Quad-Core Cortex-A55

GPU:ARM Mali-G31 MP2

SDRAM DDR3: 2 GB

FlasheMMC: 8 GB

But the device has Built in Ethernet (100mb), Type A USB 3.0 Port and Type C USB (Phone charging).

Having all the ports built in means we don't need to buy adapters / otg cables.

This is the first review I have seen:
[Google Chromecast] 96carboard:
Its big and ugly, and what the friggin 1992 is with that remote control? Looks like the USB-C port is only a 2.0, which is pointless. The official specs say it has a separate barrel jack for power -- not the USB-C port.

Also note that "OTG" doesn't apply to USB-C. The concept of "OTG" refers to the BACKWARDS use of a socket meant for a peripheral (mini- or micro-A), but USB-C is a genuine dual-purpose socket.

To be honest, the ability to plug stuff into it really isn't that critically important. I do see lots of people worried about adding USB storage to it, but that seems to be a pretty weak purpose since being a network connected device, you are free to add unlimited storage via the network, which is much more useful since that would be accessible to ALL of your equipment and not just the one its plugged directly into. For the most part, the USB port is good for an ethernet adapter, and google sells a nice one with a power adapter. The only other useful peripheral I can think of is maybe a video camera, but only if you need to use your TV for video conferencing, which yes, is a useful purpose.

But.... Nokia? Isnt that just one of the old dead names from the last century like "blackberry" that is now run by some unpronouncable arm of the people's republic of china? Consequently, I wouldn't trust a box with that name on it any more than pick-a-random-tv-box-from-aliexpress.

The only thing nice I see, is that its apparently got the "old" android tv launcher, and not the "wtf were they thinking?" one.
[Google Chromecast] Intenti0n:
You are correct about the type-C port.... its just for charging only !:sick:

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Redtick:
I have an unlocked Fold 2 from Samsung. I love the idea of rooting and having full access/control over a device I own, but it has been years since I rooted a phone. Recently my needs have changed and I find I am thinking about rooting again. Just curious if the below reasons are worth rooting and if rooting will even help or would I need to root and load a a custom rom?

1st I need to disable the 5g radio on my phone. I live and work in an area with poor 5g coverage, but have just enough that the phone can see it and try's to default to it and ends up providing far worse connectivity than the LTE that is steller in my area. AT&T is who I use and they have disabled this feature in their portion of the firmware. I can plug in a buddies T mobile sim and after reboot have access to the menu that allows me to pick LTE and my preferred connection type but not on AT&T.

2nd This is less of a concern as I have work arounds, but I would like to remove any and all carrier control of my device. In particular their ability to monitor and dictate how I use my data, i.e. wifi/BT/usb tethering. Like I said I have a work around but its fiddly.

3rd I would like to be able to run full weight cellular diagnostic tools on my phone as well as have full access to the USSD dialer codes.

Can these things be done after rooting and or loading a custom rom, in particular on the Fold 2? I have been searching for a bit, but can't seem to target my search to just this thread as I end up having to sort through a dozen other threads. I can work my way through rooting my phone and loading a rom, just curious which apps and or roms to look for once I have rooted. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Redtick:
Ok how about this. Can anybody point me to a location that can help me figure out how to removed carrier specific configurations once rooted? I want to disable my 5g radio on my fold 2. This is something that can be done when it has a T Mobile sim, but not an AT&T sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] hutzdani:

You could just Flash an international firmware of an un-carrier branded software, they can be found here - https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-z-fold-2-5g/firmware/#SM-F916B

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Redtick:
Sorry about the googling... Could only find and confirm that it was locked on att phones. As I have an unlocked variant I was not sure why I was having that problem. Thanks for the tip on F916B I did not know I could load that on the F916U1, I will look more into that. But again I thought the F916U1 from Samsung was unbranded.

Thanks for the software link.

I have been an XDA Forums member for about 10 years and have enjoyed countless custom ROM on dozens of devices ... here is my opinion ...

In 2020 there is ZERO point in rooting a phone. Full stop. The end.

Edit: no point whilst the manufacturer is still providing software updates & support
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Redtick:
Fair point... Is there a means by which I can manual control the radios in my phone without rooting? For example sending custom crafted AT commands to the radio to do things like IMSI masking, band switching, and most importantly band aggregation commands.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] njan_ivide:
If you had asked me a few years back, what I would do with a brand new android phone out of the box and I would have said "root". I think the last phone I rooted was note 8, out of habit and that voided my warranty and I didn't gain anything in return... almost everything I used to do, can be done without root. Ad blocking via disconnect pro and netguard, to disable apps, use ccswe (as long as knox licence isn't revoked), youtube vanced to fine tune adfree youtube, naptime for putting device to quick deep sleeps, side actions to configure power button behaviour etc... these were probably the things I could have only achieved with root earlier.
