[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] alphasports:
Haven't had a Sammy for quite a few years, been on the Pixel and OP wagon since the 3, occasionally going back to iphone just to remind me how much better Android is and how unusable iOS is. Decided to get an S24 Ultra, arrived yesterday and it's already boxed for return...I was stunned at the amount of bloatware they cram into Samsungs these days! I've been messing with various new phones lately so I'm totally burned out on setting up yet another new phone, so I just can't face this POS with all its preinstalled garbage. I get that you can delete a few and disable a few more but by the time you get the phone setup who knows what personal data Samsung has sucked into their black hole...contacts, bookmarks, history, etc etc. Probably already too late for me but it's going back anyway, it's not a bad unit but it's not $1600 (CAD) better than my Pixel 7 Pro (they offered $380 trade...joke). Wow these things are expensive!

I've been spoiled by Pixel's no-bloat OS. Maybe I'll take a look at the OP12...

Sorry for the rant ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
Yep, there is bloatware and one can remove it if they choose to invest the time.

I totally understand your frustration. However, when it comes to spying, Google is no better than Samsung, maybe even worse.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Gareee:
In addition, what you see as bloatware is added customization and added features you would have to pay for on other phones.

I'd rather get that upfront and free than pay for it elsewhere.

Virtually every single review out there says the s24u is the current smartphone king, but feel free to go back to your limited smartphone experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dave678:
Pixel is very barebones compared to Samsung. From what I've heard it's like that to attract iPhone users who like simplicity.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dezborders:
You could just NOT USE the bloatware

Sorted.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] exocetdj:
mehschmehbleh.............
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] alphasports:
Not really barebones, just none of the undeletable **** that many people never use anyway. Great hardware platform that allows the user to decide what to put on it. Apple on the other hand just prefers to produce hardware with 5 year old tech and charge a premium for the privilege.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dave678:
Trust me it's barebones compared to Samsung. I have a Pixel XL and a 6a. Very barebones. And Samsung's apps are better than Google's anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] alphasports:
I think it's a case of personal preference there... this is a Samsung sub-forum so I get the pushback.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dave678:
An iPhone user told me that for his Android work phone he prefers the Pixel due to its simplicity. I'm serious.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Gareee:
I'm curious what you consider unremovable bloat?

Spen apps? Camera Assistant?

Samsung apps similar to others (like messages) add additional functionality wuth the suite of other samsung apps.

A comparison would be Microsoft works. Samsung's apps all work together for an enhanced usability experience, so while you could remove them, you are also removing the reasons why the sansung user experience is enhanced.

Example: If you removed the spen apps, you would be removing its ability to be used as a remote for taking photos, or for auto translating air command text in other languages.

It could be you just don't understand why what you think is bloat is actually there for.

Even with everything installed, the phone is still blazing fast and top of the android experience class.

Other than a small bit of storage, you don't really gain anything at all by removing them.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] peacey8:
What kind of person browses XDA (an Android modding community) and complains about bloat but doesn't know how to flash non-carrier firmware or debloat with ADB? Come on guy. This is embarrassing.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] alphasports:
Oh please. I've flashed too many phones to remember, just couldn't be bothered with this crap while it's in the return window. Sorry to offend the SamBoys here, just thought I'd post my .02.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jaseman:
Bloat to me is a bunch of "useless" apps - TO ME! Gimmicks and games and spyware or shovelware. What Samsung does is give you redundant apps. I prefer the Google versions (keyboard, messages, calendar, dialer, contacts) and I always use ADB App Control (GUI APP runs on Windows) to disable everything I do not want/use.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jaseman:
We "SamBoys" understand your concerns...but your expressed reason for sending it back makes no sense! What apps do you consider "Bloat"?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] peacey8:
It would've taken you less time to debloat or reflash than it would have to make this post and reply to multiple people in it. Suit yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] exocetdj:
off ya "friar tuck" then lol!!! 😆😆😆😆

why even put the poor delivery driver thru the hassle??
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Gareee:
Honestly, this just feels like a troll post right now, looking for attention.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] exocetdj:
there is adb debloating, custom roms, the phone is incredibly quick - especially when debloated - all can be done without root

But no, OP wants to display his authority by ranting about how his phone is now reversing its way back thru the postal system

hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cpufrost:
Oneplus has quite a few "bloat" things too!

For me, anything FB (meta), Netflix, Linkedin, et al. All zapped via ADB.

Nova launcher forever, done!

I'm not a big fan of the stuff in there, but some act like they just bought an emachine off home shopping network and add/remove programs requires a code you have to buy! 🙃
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] goodwin_c:
Just 5 cents - as a rom maker in the past, and a nexus/pixel user for a lot of years - after S21U I got fresh new S24U, and totally happy with it. sammy is pixel with all missing features that need custom roms
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
It's very easy to remove all the samsung apps and bloatware and would be worth your time doing so.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] mzsquared:
You won't have to look at the OP12 for long to return it for the same reason you just wrote here about Samsung, they have a lots of bloat that chokes the Oxygen out of you(punt intended).
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Gytole:
Just use adb app control. Works great. I disabled 100 apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MartinMKR:
This must be a troll post, what bloatware - facebook, microsoft office stuff and netflix. I destroyed them for less than a minute :D Because of people like this the phones cost more and more every year. Buying and returning, buying and returning - he can't be bothered deleting 5 apps, too much hussle as he handles a lot of phones. This is either fake or a new level of arrogance.

Someone manufactured the phone, other packaged it, posted it, delivered in Canada, then someone received it, send it to our guy here, local guy received it, gave it to the guy with the truck, then he delivered it in our guys house - he cant be bothered deleting 5 apps, now all those people have to do the same but backwards and those 200$ Samsung spend on refurbishing the phone will be added on top of the s25u.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
Great hardware platform? That was a joke right? Pixel hardware is 2 years out of date on release day.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Bloatware is subjective. For me to switch to a Pixel, I would need to uninstall all of the Google Bloatware and install the stuff I use.

It is a Samsung made device. Why are people upset that Samsung pre-installed Samsung apps? That's like getting mad at Apple for pre-installing Apple apps on an iPhone. Or getting angry when Microsoft pre-installed Microsoft products on its Surface devices or Dell pre-installing Dell apps on its devices.

If you don't want Samsung apps pre-installed on your phone, don't buy a Samsung phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dave678:
I own 2 S5's,2 Note 4's,Note Edge, 2 Note 5's, an S6 edge, S7, Note 8 and Note 9. All on their orginal Android versions with the exception of one Note 4 and Note 5. Extremely satisfied with the software experience compared to the Pixel XL and 6a which I also own.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
It's a Samsung device. What made you think that Samsung shouldn't pre-install Samsung apps? That's like expecting Apple not to pre-install Apple apps on its iPhone, or expecting Microsoft not to pre-install Microsoft apps on its Surface devices, or *cough* expecting Google not to pre-install its apps on Pixels or Chromebooks.

If I got a Pixel, I would have to uninstall all of the Google crap, and then install the apps I use.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] elmor0:
Just to confirm/clarify - this method just disables the system Apps right but not completely removes/unistalls them?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
It can disable and /or uninstall some app ;) it's selectable on the software.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] elmor0:
Uninstall System apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
Yes. I have not used nor tested this on my s24 ultra yet because I need it for work right now :D but I will in the future. It worked fine with my pixel and xiaomi phones though.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] The Root:
Guys, he doesn't want to fix the problem, he just wants to complain and feel validated for not researching his purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] elmor0:
Wow, thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Gytole:
Use the awesome search function that doesn't work onXDA that the mods will jist move your post because it's too truthful.

But all jokes aside, just look for "debloat S24 ultra" should be like a page or two back.

In that case he's better off over at Android Central where they delete responses that don't validate the OP's lack critical thinking.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dwboston:
Funny, I just sent back the OP12 and kept the S24U. OP12 is a good phone. I thought the screen was actually a little brighter and looked nicer than the S24U, except for the curved sides - and it's really curved. Cameras were OK, not as good as Samsung or Google, but acceptable for the price. It was just missing some features, like WiFi Calling, which I need at my house.

OnePlus has changed a lot from the OP 7 Pro days. Their primary market is India, and India gets everything first. The support just isn't there anymore for users outside India. Just know what you're getting into if you go with OnePlus.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] larryk:
Another vote for ABD APP Control, it works for me on my S24U. Just add the .com for the address.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] meyerweb:
One person's bloat is another's useful utilities. I like and use quite a few of them, and many can be disabled or removed. I find they add a lot of useful capabilities that I missed when I used a Pixel. I hated no having access to some of the Good Lock utilities, and there's nothing comparable for the Pixel. I sent the Pixel back because it was lacking so much. It was also buggy as Hell.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Exactly.

I want to flash a custom rom to my Xiaomi 12 Lite but unlocking the bootloader has been hard. The website says "Couldn't send verification code" when I enter my phone number and complete the captcha. Is there an easier way to unlock the bootloader, or how do I fix this?

Thank you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tonypony:
Please pardon my ignorance. I have tried to work out what is going on here for the last couple of months, hoping that it would finally just click. could someone please explain to me what all these ROM's are. So I have an HTC touch diamond with the standard ROM (from the last update, i think 1.9xxxxxx cant remember). With all these 'ROM' developments what more do you get out of the phone. Do you guys still use the TouchFlo 3D? What is HARD-spl? Is it worth changing the ROM? There seems to be a lot of ROM's, how do i know which is the best 1 to use? I feel like i have so many more questions, but please could someone just outline what it is all about.

please excuse my ignorance. I have tried looking it up but i still dont understand so pardon me for taking shortcuts.

Thanks

Tony

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
i don't see how pointing him ti the wiki will answer any of his questions. :rolleyes: that thing is as old as the diamond itself.

ROMs are the data image on your phone. the read only memory that includes sys, xip, wm6.1 and tf3d plus all the component packages in a ppc. all the ones floating around here are tweaked and updated by people to work the way they want them to, with suggestions by the testers.

they are all basically the same.

they are based on official htc releases and updated to the latest operating bits from other devices, then shared with us.

its up to you to find what works best on your device in your locale and for your specific needs. you don't have to read entire threads, just the last few pages or from the date that the latest one was released by that cook.

hard spl is a phone condom to keep people from bricking their phone. it is required and very important. i suggest developers edition so you can flash any rom you want.

and yes, flashing a cooked rom is very worth it, but i warn you, once you start you can't stop.

i can't tell you which is the best, i do know what are my favorites, but the journey you will take finding that perfect rom is very rewarding.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tonypony:
thank you very much

you have answered exactly what i wanted to know.

I'll give it a look into. Oh, and 1 other thing. If I have applications installed on my phone already, i presume after putting a 'cooked ROM' on it will remove all installed applications? Wouldnt bother me too much, just my TomTom navigation is a HUGE mission to get going. I suppose im on holiday and have time to fiddle.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sergio PC:
Everything in the Device is erased when you flash a ROM. Stuff in the Internal Storage stays the same.

By da way you can also flash Radios.

Greets.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Blazeitup123:
pretty much all apps for ppc can be found in .cab form. this is for easy installation and removal. if you choose a full rom you will get all stock htc apps, but a lite rom is bare bones. keep your collection of cabs on your internal storage for quick re-installation after flashing. also keep a backup of your cabs on your pc.

glad this helps

i didn't want anyone here to tell you RTFM or link you to search page. THAT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS. ha lol :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tonypony:
ya i can relate to that. Im also quite a forum junkie and I cant stand it when people direct me to search engines. Even on my local PS3 forum people always help out. Thanks to all for your help. Much appreciated.

So if I want to flash a ROM on my phone I just have to sift through the 1's here that are available. Do you guys recommend any? ie. one's that have few problems.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dannyoneill:
Typically the rom you get with the phone is a generic one, not too fast, full of feature and there to please everybody.

A cooked rom normally strips things down or tunes the device to a specific need. some roms remove as much as they can to give you more ram. Great for those of us who browse the web.

Others load them with more features so you never want for anything.

Others are generic but more upto date. The problem with official roms is they are updated and then go into testing for months and months then get released.

a custom rom will take updated drivers from other devices (like the HD) and place them into our roms with around a weeks testing or less. so we get them sooner. This does have its drawbacks.

A custom rom can be less stable than an official one. but you can get lucky. Duttys 3.6b is a good mix. Its faster than the stock rom, has more features but more memory as the rubbish is removed.

In the past 2 days I have learnt how to cook my own rom, which is the dream situation. I get rid of everything I dont want like Cyberon, transcriber, ringtones and other stuff. SO I have loads of storage free but also add in the software I use the most.

I now have the fastest rom I have ever used and its perfect beacause its tailor made by me, for me. Its really not that hard.

I tried it and sadly had not much luck, battery drain was fairly high, and I couldn't disable the blinking notification light.

EDIT: been using it for a while now and managed to workaround the issues. It's been a smooth experience, would be niec to see it updated for sure :D
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snam11:
as the title says,

I've bought an used 4k stick(G070VM20124XXXXX), installed fire os 6.7.0.0 (NS6700/4872).

i've noticed the device has already downloaded the ota update (6.7.0.19) but not installed yet

i've enabled adb, and i was wondering what can i do with it.

how to delete the update file and block future updates?

i suppose there is no way to install a twrp recovery, if so can i still flash a different image with standard recovery?

and related to the previous question if a rooted image can't be installed: can magisk be installed to obtain root?

thnx
[Oukitel (All phone models)] temporarium:
Pros:

You will have a more recent Android version

Cons:

You will lose some of the features of the Stock ROM

access to infra-red camera

others??

Prerequisites:

ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS

Developer options enabled

adb enabled

OEM unlocking enabled

Bootloader unlocked

Android tools/drivers on PC (adb and fastboot)

Process:

Select an image from the Generic System Image (GSI) list

Must be arm-64

Must have a "b" in the 3-letter code (for a/b-devices like this one)

v = vanilla (no Google apps); g = Gapps included (usually slim)

N = no root (can root later with Magisk); S = pre-rooted with phhusson's su

Restart to Android Recovery:

From power menu if option available

Or restart holding down Vol+

Or via adb reboot recovery

Select "Enter fastboot" to enter fastbootd mode

Erase the system partition (you may need to run the commands as 'root', using sudo fastboot...):

fastboot erase system

Flash your unzipped GSI (here called system.img):

fastboot flash system system.img

If you get an error about not enough room, delete the product partition and try again:

fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_b

Reboot with fastboot reboot

If system fails to boot, flash Stock first, then try again after booting once to Stock

If not upgrading from a previous GSI of the same ROM (eg., newer version of LOS), after first boot (and a quick first setup), reboot to recovery and select "Wipe data/factory reset" and reboot again
