[Android General] JimmyZtest1:
I have a 2022 version of the Commercial 2450 NordicTrack iFit. Build number is CKA2X_20210901. I ran into a few differences when I was going through the process of ADB Launcher replacement but since I got it working I thought it might help others to share those differences.

Here are the modified steps that worked for my machine.

1. Factory reset the treadmill. I was initially reluctant to proceed until I realized that I had the pin hole reset at the top of my monitor. (If you want/need to factory reset, Turn equipment off at switch, unplug power, use a paperclip to push the switch in the pin hole, while holding the pin hole switch plug back in and turn on the power, wait until you see a restore message before removing the paperclip).

- Important, DO NOT enable Wi-Fi ANYWHERE until you are specifically instructed to.

2. Enable Privileged mode. As privileged mode is absent out of the box I had to use http://getresponsecode.com. Tap 10 times on iFit screen, wait 7 seconds, tap another 10 times on iFit screen.

3a. Eru app seems to be called EASI on my device. There is an Eru folder present but no app with this name. My first attempts included disabling iFit Admin which promptly resulted in losing access to privileged mode and needing to pin hole reset. To find the correct app to disable I had to go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > click See All ## Apps (at the bottom of Recently opened apps list) to get to All apps, then click on the hamburger at the top right hand of the screen and click "Show system". For the app EASI I went to the bottom and Disable "Draw over other apps" and Disable "Modify system settings".

3b. Access the iFit Admin Secret Options and disable auto upgrade. Open iFit Admin app. Click the white corner of the Admin screen (tapping results in a clicking sound). Change the Auto Upgrade option at the top to Disabled.

4. Unlock Developer options. Go to Settings/About tablet, and look for the build number. Tap on the build number 7 times. You will get a message at the bottom of the screen confirming Developer options unlocked.

5. Enable USB debugging. Go to Settings and scroll almost all the way down to Developer options and enable USB debugging.

6. Set up WiFi in Android only. Pull down from the top to open the notification panel, then hold down the Wi-Fi symbol. Find your home network here and connect. BIG NOTE: The computer or laptop you are using to connect to the treadmill MUST be connected to the same exact network.

7. Obtain IP address. Go to Settings/About tablet/Status. The last line under IP is what you need. It should look similar to 192.168.4.113, but your numbers will be different. Write down YOUR IP ADDRESS number, exactly as it shows with the periods and all.

8a. Getting tools ready. Download NordicUnchained.zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=17825722713688273060 on your computer or laptop, then find it in your downloads folder. Right click NordicUnchained.zip and choose extract or extract all. Then go into the extracted folder. While you are in the folder, shift+right click somewhere in the deadspace of the folder and you should see the option to Open in Windows Terminal or Open in CMD. Either one of these works the same. If all you see is open in PowerShell, use it and type cmd and hit enter to bring up CMD. In the terminal, type adb connect, your written down IP address, followed by :5555 {Example: adb connect 192.168.4.113:5555}--Don’t use the brackets. If you did this correctly, the terminal should say connected. Your environment is now ready for further ADB operations.

8b.NOTE: Before continuing and after connecting it is important to accept the connection on the your iFit equipment (select Always allow USB debugging, and OK) before running the script.

9a. Now the easy part: same steps with one error. Running the UNCHAINED script disabled Eru and standalone but had an error disabling iFit launcher. However, iFit launcher can be uninstalled through APKPure. (Open Browser, search for APKPure and install).

10. Configuring Nova launcher. After updating and configuring Nova Launcher (open Explorer, go to STORAGE tab on the right and open the Download folder, open nova.novabackup). I then updated Nova to the most recent version through APKPure.

11. Getting iFit to work. I uninstalled the factory reset version of iFit and am using the Last Privileged Mode Pinless iFit.

12. In android settings, set the battery setting to not optimized for any apps you want to use/switch between. Under android Battery settings: disable battery manager, battery saver, and standby intelligent power saving to avoid background apps from closing.

Other apps I find helpful and update through APKPure:

Taskbar (Enable the Advanced features Navigation bar buttons, enable general settings)

Floating Apps (sometimes comes in handy when filling information in input boxes/forms)

Volume Styles (allows you a volume slider when tapping the right hand side of your screen)

Netflix

Disney+

Amazon Prime Video

Kodi

I gave Nova7 and Taskbar privileges to modify system settings

Taskbar and Floating apps privileges to display over other apps

Update: After I did a full shutdown I had trouble running iFit. I was able to get iFit working again by uninstalling iFit, reinstalling Last Privileged Mode Pinless iFit, and temporarily reinstalling iFit Launcher (located in the /etc/ folder). I uploaded the version of iFit Launcher that came with my machine here, if someone needs:

.After I launched and re-configured iFit I uninstalled iFit launcher again.

Thank you to the original poster for providing these tools and helpful instructions. I hope my modified instructions can help others with their machines.
