[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
Does a utility exist that will analyze any given homescreen app icon to tell you EXACTLY what the intent or activity that app icon is going to invoke?

BACKGROUND:

If I have a grayed out homescreen app-invocation icon (e.g., from a Nova homescreen backup & restore), of an app that isn't yet installed, then I can use the Muntashirakon App Manager to figure out EXACTLY the intent that will be called from that grayed out app icon.

View attachment 6110897

But the problem I'm trying to solve is when I have an already installed app, I don't have a tool that I can point that app icon to which will tell me what the intent will be when I click on that homescreen app icon (of an already installed app).

Take for example, the yellow "APKUpdater" to the left of the grayed out AppUpdateChecker icon in the screenshot above.

I would like an app that can tell me EXACTLY what the intent will be that is called when I click on that yellow "APKUpdater" icon.

Does such an app exist that ANALYZES existing app icons to tell you EXACTLY what intent will come up when you tap that app icon?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
AFAIK there isn't a widely available utility that can analyze any given home screen app icon and tell you exactly the intent or activity it will invoke on Android. Take note taht app icons themselves don't inherently contain information about the intent or activity they launch. They are simply visual representations.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
I do not think that's correct.

But thanks for trying to help, where I disagree that an app icon is simply a visual representation since it HAS to know exactly what to do when you click on it.

In the Windows world, for example, it would be visible by bringing up the PROPERTIES form (which can show EXACTLY what command will be run).

View attachment 6112060

I'm sure the same approach can work on Android, where the Android homescreen shortcut must point to some kind of Activity TARGET.

Of course, I have ways to INDIRECTLY find that information, using, for example, Muntashirakon App Manager or Shortcut Widgets +Inspector (which is no longer in the Google Play Store repo, unfortunately, but I have archived copies).

In summary, there MUST be an app that will DIRECTLY show the equivalent of the "Target" field in Windows for any given app shortcut - but I just need to find someone who knows more than I do about this who can point me to that app.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
You confuse ICON and SHORTCUT. :cry:

Here the difference between icons and shortcuts in the context of computing:

Icons: An icon is a graphical representation of a program, file, or folder. Icons make it easier for users to identify and access items on their computer. They visually represent functions or purposes and are commonly used in software, mobile apps, and websites. Icons can be simple or complex, designed with various shapes, colors, and textures to create a recognizable visual identity1.

Shortcuts: A shortcut, on the other hand, is a link to a program, file, or folder that is stored in a different location than the original. Shortcuts provide quick access to frequently used items. Essentially, they point to the location of the file or program on the hard drive, allowing users to open it with a single click or keystroke. Shortcuts are fundamental for streamlining workflow and improving efficiency in computer usage1.

In summary, icons visually represent items, while shortcuts provide quick access to those items.

My recommendation: DO THE BASICS!
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
I am getting frustrated with you... so please just leave me alone next time. Please.

I implore you to stop posting crap into my sincere requests for actual information.

Look xXx yYy, I wrote tutorials on how to create your own shortcuts, with custom icons, so stop it with the worthless cut and paste from worthless chatGPT results.

[Tutorial] Illustrated (mostly privacy based) one-tap shortcuts so that you can access (in a single tap!) any buried Android setting or app activity

I kind of wish you'd stop artificially increasing your "answer rate" simply by responding to every request for information by saying you have no idea what the question is asking and therefore you have no idea of the answer.

It's even worse when you cut and paste worthless chatGPT responses, but please... if you don't have any idea what the question is asking, stop responding to my posts asking for help. Please. I implore you.

Artificially jack up your answer count with everyone else; but not with me please.

This is your thread's title. Correct?

FYI: I don't artificially jack up my answer count, I'm not interested in the amount, I simply try to give a general answer to a general question as this is subject of this forum. If you don't like / if you dislike my answers, then that's not my problem. If you confuse terms, then that's also not my problem.
[General Questions and Answers] GalaxyA325G:
No problem. I'll just reply the same way each time you jack up your answer count by posting a non-answer masquerading as an answer in my questions so others realize that you didn't help at all but only hurt the goal of finding an answer... deal?

Moving forward, I searched for apps and found a few which will give me the intent of an app icon but not the direct way I was hoping (by simply pointing the app to the app icon, whether or not that app icon is installed, i.e., grayed out or not).

This is one free/adfree/gsffree/gsmfree app I found while searching for a solution.

Quikshort Shortcut Creator, by AtolphaDev

<ttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atolphadev.quikshort>

View attachment 6112404

This Quikshort app only has a tiny number of downloads but it seems powerful enough to do some of what this thread asks for, which is to figure out exactly what any homescreen app icon shortcut calls upon invocation.

QuikShort gives me the information asked for but not by pointing the app to the location of the homescreen icon but by finding the app package & icon in a lookup activity as shown below.

View attachment 6112401

Interestingly, QuikShort also allows me to EDIT/CHANGE the intents & activities.

View attachment 6112403

In summary, this QuikShort app can possibly do what is asked, but not the way that it was asked to do it; but it's probably good enough until I find something better.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] fengyxme:
Currently using the third version of one ui6.1 (3CXE3) firmware, the whitening effect of 10x zoom photos is very poor, and it is suspected that the camera was intentionally weakened.

I want to downgrade to the second firmware version (2CXD1) of version 5.1 without ROOT,

I have an idea that I don't know if it's feasible to modify the flashing package: use a disassembly tool to place the (2CXD1) baseband in the (3CXE3) firmware and then downgrade the (2CXD1) firmware.

I hope all the experts can provide suggestions.

If not possible, I will consider ROOT my phone again. Thank you.

I tried taking it to a shop and that guy couldn't fix it and even made it worse, it's no longer in edl but if I keep pressing the power button the mi logo and a red battery will flash, and that's the end of it.

The short answer is:

The long answer is to visit this website: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

[Windows 11] null0seven:
Assuming you have a Windows license.. & 2 Hdd/SSD.

Download Windows 11 from official site.

Create a bootable Usb disk with Rufus 4.5.

Install with Format disk.

Then you have a really Clean system.
[Windows 11] simplepinoi177:
You should be able to do it as said in Post #3, but what Media Creation Tool, as suggested in Post #2 from @Omar_ahmed-1 , does is the exact same thing without the need for Rufus....just make sure you don't do the "create disk image .iso" option....

It connects, displays the continue with setup. I continue with setup goes to the next prompt and states that there's a network problem. All of my other devices are connected just fine. Through research I found that downloading the correct "NOOK Device Software Update for TLS 1.2 Compliance" to my PC per the Manual Download Instructions, connecting my Nook HD via USB cable, moving the downloaded *.npk file to the Nook Device in Windows Explorer (mine shows up as "BNTV400"), then – after the file has been copied successfully – disconnecting the Nook so that it will recognize the new npk file during the next startup or during the setup procedure. Does anyone have this file, so that I can get connected again? It is no longer on the B&N website at: https://help.barnesandnoble.com/hc/...873371-Having-trouble-connecting-to-your-NOOK
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmyshkin:
Apparently you didn't get the email. B&N decreed an end-of-life for the HD (and a slew of others) as of June 2024. People with existing registrations can continue to use the devices but without purchasing or downloading books.

Even if you update the firmware you will not get through registration as there is no longer two-way traffic between HDs and the B&N servers.

There may be instructions somewhere for bypassing registration somewhere. I didn't find any and usually that results in increased battery drain.

Your best best is probably a custom ROM.

I did read that and was able to get on the internet once following the reset. How do I get custom ROM?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmyshkin:

I suddenly have the problem with my radio that it shows "Device not activated".

[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Nemgathos:
Since yesterday, I own a Samsung Galaxy A32 5G (Enterprise Edition) (SM-A326B/DS) device. To unlock the bootloader of the device, I watched this tutorial and was able to unlock it.

However, the menus of the stock ROM looked a little different. I was able to enable the Developer options by navigating to Preferences -> About phone -> Software information -> Build number. After tapping Build number seven times, I went to Preferences -> Developer options and turned OEM unlocking on.

What do I need to do next? By turning off the device and booting it with the volume up button pressed, I boot into Android Recovery mode, but this does not solve my problem.

The guy in this tutorial says that activating OEM unlocking is only the first step of the whole process. Next, he uses the “USB cable method” to boot into “download mode”, but I do not know how to get there. In the video, he says that he has uploaded a video a week before the linked tutorial video, but I cannot find this very video. What would you do?

There is another video on his channel that describes how to download the official Samsung firmware. In order to do this, he uses some software tools that are available on Windows, but I am a Linux user. Do I need the Samsung firmware or do you know where I can download it without using these tools?

Or am I on the wrong path at the moment? What is the next step I should consider?
