[General Questions and Answers] Dani3I:
I wonder if I can create two (or more) user profiles on my android device, one of which I will use only open source stuff and everything else on the other.

As far as I know, it is possible to create several user profiles in Android that are isolated from each other.

I would probably install LineageOS for this as it doesn't have google play services pre-installed on it and it seems very "clean" in terms of these things (I have never used this system).

There is something like OpenGApps that allows you to install google play services but as far as I know it requires installation from twrp. So I suspect google play services will then be installed for all user profiles on the device.

So is there any possibility to install google services for one user only?

I also know that there is such a thing as microg (and Aurora stora). When I heard that there was such a thing as "LineageOS for microG" I thought it would be a very good option (on one android profile I just wouldn't use microg). But later I also found out that it is supposedly against the google policy and that they can ban my account for it, which I would prefer to avoid.

So I wanted to ask if the only option to do this is to install LineageOS, check what applications are installed by default, install OpenGApps to it and then disable all google related applications on one of the user profiles?

Does such disabling the application also ensure that Google will not be able to "work" on my device in any way? Does OpenGApps install any system level google stuff that will run in the background anyway?

And are OpenGApps not something that I should not install when I don't want to get a google ban?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
You are confusing (Open)GApps - Google themselves call them Google Mobile Services (GMS) - and Google Play Services what are two completely different things.

Google Play Services is one of the most important parts of Android. It helps connect everything together and hold it all there. The Google Play Services are the interface to the Google Mobile Services as well as to the hardware functions of the Android device. Many of your apps use Google Play Services everyday.

GMS is a bunch of apps what includes

Google Play Store,

Google Now,

Google Play Music,

Google Maps,

Google+,

Gmail,

Google Photos,

Youtube

and the Android Device Manager.

Knowing the difference it should be clear that GMS can get installed on a per-user basis whereas Google Play Services not.
[General Questions and Answers] Dani3I:
Thanks for the clarification, although I still don't really know what you meant. I thought that google play services is the name for all those components that are needed to run, for example, the google play store. If the google play store needs also other components (?), then when I wrote google play services, I meant all the components that are needed to run the play store.

In any case, I mean in practice whether I am able to install both the play store and the components needed for it only for one user in Android, but from what I understand it is not possible in your opinion.

The questions at the end of my post probably still remain the same. I can only clarify that I meant more general cases in these questions:

Does installing the play store (along with the necessary components) install any system-level Google stuff that will run in the background anyway even if I disable these apps?

And isn't installing the play store (along with the necessary components) by hand something that I shouldn't be doing when I want to avoid a Google ban?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Again:

Google Play Store simply is an ordinary user app as any other user app, too, nothing else. It itself installs , except some Android OS libraries, nothing. Only thing is it requires Google Play Services ( which are running in background ) to properly run. As already said: Google Play Services can only get installed once because it extends Android OS. And Android OS always is the same for all created users.

Don't understand what you mean with "Google ban".
[General Questions and Answers] User699:
You can install those apps but you have to flash it via recovery. Also, you need to do that prior to booting into the os for the first time, which I think is related to encryption.

If you already booted into your os, you need to boot into recovery and perform a factory data reset, then flash those gapps (as far as I know dirty flashing those gapps will introduce instability to those gapps. That's why you need a factory data reset).

Keep in mind that factory reseting will delete all your person data.

After you flashed it, those gapps will be available for every user

Aurora Store provides an anonymous google account. It's data isn't linked to you which means they cannot ban your account.

LOS comes without any google apps preinstalled. So first flash LOS, then OpenGApps (follow their official guide. They describe it there).

And yes, after that you have to disable every google app you don't want to use for every new user profile.

If you disable it for the current user, it won't run in any way, yes.

OpenGApps itself shouldn't install anything on system level. But those apps will be installed on system level since you flash them to the system (using your recovery). However, if you disable them they won't run in the background.

I don't know.

...I havent disabled ms threading yet in text messages but one thing that does annoy me is that when I click on the message from touch flo...it goes straight into a reply....is there a way to force it to open as a read only and then reply with threading enabled? Its a real shame that the message tab in TF3D doesnt support scrolling of messages isnt....anyone got any insight?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Davey101:
If you prevent the keypad from automatically popping up then the text will still be readable even in reply mode. One of the tweaking/config programs has an option for this, can't think which one right now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] neilsupermac999:
Ok I'll have a dig around for that.....Im guessing disabling threading is prob the only solution...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] neilsupermac999:
Is there a way of modifying touch flo such that when you read them in the sms touch flo tab you can scroll...i.e. if you have a long message it seems to be the only way to read it is in the threaded reply...which I hate....have to say for something so fundamental as texting the current method makes a meal of it....this is my first WM Device and I like to read sms, in full, then goto reply...not just reply by default.....its too fiddly!:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] djind:
Turn off threaded sms.. u can do that with the diamondtweak tool..

When you click on an sms in tf3d, it will show you the full sms, without a reply box..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] neilsupermac999:
Excellent..thank you....I kind of like the threading....but....I dont like the way it works in that a click on touchflo takes you straight to reply rather than read>then reply...

So this problem is just down to the mechanics of WM6.1 Threading?

Sorry kinda misread ur post.. I dont think there is a possibility to use this semi-threaded sms option.. Looked into it a while ago, but maybe there are now.. I don't know.. I would like that option also..
[Android Head-Units] zeneszjaras:
Dear XDA users!

I have a problem with my android auto system in my car and unfortunately i don't know what should i do for proper operation.

So in my car I have an Eonon Headunit with android 10. My phone is a Xiaomi Note 8T with Miui 12 - android 10. I bought recently an Android Dongle from Carlink.

For my headunit i downloaded and installed the autolink app from the link on the package. I wanted to install the android auto app from Google Playstore, but my phone showed the app is already installed with the latest update. I checked the applist but it wasn't shown - any icon. In the settings I checked the app settings and i found it as a system app - it can't be uninstalled, only i can delete the update to restore the app, but any option to open it.

I connected the phone to my headunit through the dongle and my phone loaded the android auto wizard setup. I allowed everything what i could, but there was an error message with google voice assistant.

After it on my headunit i saw the android auto, but with few features. On my phone I use Spotify, Youtube Music, Waze, etc. On the headunit i saw only the waze, any spotify or yt music, any message app - messenger, whatsapp, sms. The resolution was incorrect, "blurred" screen, no main screen - only some application selection menu.

What I saw in videos from android auto it was completely different.

Could anybody help me what should i do? Has the unit from carlink fault or is my phone bad? Or is the headunit incompatible with this dongle? - But I don't undestand why is the android auto system app and why don't i have any option to open it on my phone.
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Not Android Auto, requested mod moves to Android Head units forum.

OP - note that your phone shows no AA because the head unit is not AA.

[Introductions] Blu3Fr0g:
Hello XDA, it's been a long time since I was truly active in these or any forums because life and reality provided an unintended distraction and then the pandemic. I find myself with a bit more time where I need a necessary diversion from reality and this forum has always provided this nerd with a world-wide community of nerds who really and truly know their ****. I have social networking friends that I follow, that I met through here and other technology forums that I have been friends with now for almost twenty years. I'm sure that how we met is irrelevant to many of them since we interact more about our day to day lives then the nerding out we did here in the forums. See, as a nerd, making real world friends was always difficult, but here, at XDA with my G1000 from Hitachi, one of the first-ever smart-phone, with a keyboard and a screen running Windows Mobile. I came here looking for a way to back-up my sms and call log to Microsoft Outlook and some genius had figured out a way to do it. I then had three different HTC Windows Mobile devices and XDA let me do amazing things with them.

Then, because I got suckered in to Sprint!, I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy SII Touch or something ridiculous like that and it had so many issues out if the box but 2ss an amazing device. XDA was like High School and this is where you went from teen hacker wannabe to legit 1337 skills by rooting and then installing custom roms. The addiction to that thrill of knowing that a mistake, zigging when you're supposed to zag or skipping a step, rushing and missing something could spell disaster. I dropped a phone while installing a rom and the device boot-looped hard. Not to worry, XDA was here and someone else had done something similar, there was an entire forum thread devoted to all the people who had face-planted the rooting, rom or other process and lobotomized their Android device.

I still occasionally peruse the forums, lurking and liking and once in a while, replying. I just wanted to stop by and thank you for what seems like 17 or 18 years if amazing things. By you, I mean the people who run the forums behind the scenes at all levels and the moderators that keep the law and order necessary to thrive and function and you the users who's knowledge and other contributions are why we are here in these forums, from the creators to their guinea pigs to every other lurker like me. Thanks.

People, I switched to miui with emui and was already tortured with these settings.

Tell me how to disable these window overlays in notifications?

There is no such problem with WhatsApp, but with standard messages and Telegram.

Is it some kind of broken floating window or something?

They seem to look different - with rounded corners.

And here is some kind of crap in the form of a floating shortcut that can be expanded by a third of the screen.

And this is a square mini window with a human face. Very annoying.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] BtB:
In settings, go in "Notifications & Control Center", "Notification shade", and chose Android instead of MIUI.

As well, for disabling the "pop up" windows, go in the notification settings of the app and disable "Floating Notifications"

Even this seems to not work for the Google Android Messages app, disabled the floating notifications for the app and set the shade to Android instead of MIUI but still no luck.

This way is very similar with how it was done on OOS10, but root is required.

Steps:

1) Open the dialer: type *#800# > Function Switch > enable VoLTE + VoWifi switch

2) Connect phone to PC, make sure it works with adb and run "adb shell"

3) Type "su" - allow superuser access on phone

4) Type "setprop sys.usb.config diag,diag_mdm,qdss,qdss_mdm,serial_cdev,dpl,rmnet,adb". At this step, phone will disconnect and reconnect to your PC.

5) Open PDC app (it will be visible now)

6) Select Telefonica_UK_Commercial or UK-VoLTE-Vodafone or w/e worked for you with OOS10

7) Right click and SetSelectedConfig for both Sub0 and Sub1

8) Select the same profile with Step 6 and press "Activate"

VoLTE/VoWiFi should work now.

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] droidman1992:
Today I have received the notification to upgrade to Android 11 and I'm reluctant to do so because I heard that immersive mode will be permanently disabled. I make use of the following command on Android 10 OxygenOS and know that it will not work:

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

I have read conflicting information and I'm not sure if it's possible to remain stock while hiding the status bar to prevent burn in. I'm basically interested in a solution that allows me to use the stock launcher and gesture behavior (basically replicating the above command).

I'm open to rooting even if this is now required. Does anyone know of the best way to proceed?

Thank You for replying, so just to clarify, once the phone is rooted and magisk has been deployed, I may just download the Substratum application and install compatible themes.

Are you able to use this method to hide the status bar in addition to the navbar (just to re-confirm, I mean the top panel with all the notifications and system indicators)?
