[GUIDE] A320FL Debloat No root Oreo - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D

Hello,
I've debloated a Samsung SM-A320FL for work, so I though I should share my method with you.
It needs no special knowlegde, no root so you won't loose any warranty or so.
1 - First of all, you need to install ADB on your PC (You can find how to do it here).
2 - Then activate developper options on the phone. Go to:
Parameters/about phone/software informations
and tap 7 times on "build version"
3 - Still on the phone, go back to parameters and to "developper options". Activate "USB debogging mode"
4 - Plug the phone to the PC and athorize the connection
5 - Launch the adb console as administrator and type "adb shell"
6 - Paste the content of the file linked to this post and press enter
Your A3 has now only those apps:
- My files
- Play Store
- Phone
- Messages
- Camera
- Gallery
- Clock
- Contacts
- Parameters
- Calculator
Off course you can now desactivate "USB debogging mode" and "developper mode", so your phone seem to be factory done like that by Samsung.

Can I do this on Linux?

Yes, you can. Just install ADB.

Hello,
does the phone needs to be in download mode?

Thank you sir, works like a charm on the official firmware.

Hello, seem's working but i have again apps on phone. In application list, i see them again with "not installed" mentionned.
How can i delete them definitively to gain space.
kagazushi, are you french ? i see SFR apps
Best regards.

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_to_disable>
For some reason, the disable-user command lets you disable basically any application you want while the regular disable command is quite limited.

Hi
do you still have voLTE once all these stuffs are gone ?
Thanks a lot for this debloater !
(edit : it's ok, I still have voWIFI & voLTE after debloating)

so does this still work on the latest firmware? Is it really safe?

Thanks, saved my device from the ever overloaded internal memory. As it's for personal use I kept (or rather reinstalled) email, calendar, photoretouching, smartmirroring, google drive (aka .docs) and google maps (some may want to keep videos and youtube too).
I only have one issue so far:
gallery app crashes when i want to check image details and under albums it only shows me camera roll, but none from other folders.
despite reinstalling smartmirroring, the screen-mirroring icon disappeared from the slide-down menu [stupid me had installed mirrorlink instead of smartmirroring]
It would be great, if someone could tell what dependencies the gallery app has to access file info and to create these folder albums. So i can reinstall the needed stuff. My phone feels so much snappier now and i certainly won't go back to reinstall all of them just to get that Samsung gallery and screen mirroring to work properly. Thanks again to the OP.

yes, did it yesterday on a completely updated phone. It just didn't remove samsung pay and linkedin bloatware on my device - not a big issue.

Anybody using Android Auto after debloating? Issues?
Thanks

UD1..6RC2:
files are downloaded to /mnt/storage/download - if u downlaod a file with tabled - then copie to the update dir.
Otherwise make sure u use the windows disconnection function before remove the device to prevent corruption.
Google mail:
not sure if u mean that - but try:
long hold (like adding a widget) -> shortcuts -> email (or gmail,.. however it's named) -> select the account (will add a shortcut to the account directly)
Google music:
which version are u trying to use? some 3.x version worked fine - while I never got any 4.x version runnig propper on froyo - while runns fine on my gingerbread cellphone
PLEASE POST THIS IS GENERAL FORUM NEXT TIME AS ITS NOT DEVELOPMENT RELATED - Thank you
thanks for the help and sorry for posting in the wrong forum
sorted out the update
but i dont have gmail or email shortcut option ( i do have it when trying to replace an item in launcher bottom menu)
cheers
michel
hmmm - only thing i can think of is trying reinstall gapps - e.g. using arctolls
just bricked my 101 so i can't look it up atm but the method described above works on my phone wiht launcher pro...
perhaps anyone else knows it better then me ?
good luck
will fix my device

[Q] Huwei U8652 root/rom help!

I just acquired a Huwei U8652. I guess it's supposed to be a lot like the Sonic.
I can't get any of the roots/roms for the Sonic to work.
Has anyone had any success getting the "Fusion" rooted/rom'd?
Thanks
Anyone? I'd really like some input

U8652 Root
This will get you a Partial root.. Enough to Remove a Majority of the Pre-Loaded apps.. Thanks to a Chinese site for the info..
Only a few items that are pre-loaded that I was unable to remove via Titanium backup/other s/w methods:
Docs to go 3.003
Layar 5.0.2
Twitter 2.0.2
Uno 3.1.3
YP 3.0.3
All the above have : "Failed to locate the apk file." error in TB..
I will be Including the original link in the post.. I have cleaned up the English Translation to match more what you see on the phone as well..
(1) Activate "USB debugging": Settings - Applications - Development - USB debugging;
(2) ADB driver installed: When I plug this phone in to my computer, It has drivers listed in a virtual cd-rom drive.
(3) Dial, *#*#2846579#*#*
(4) Go to: Project Menu - background Setting - Log Switch - LOG on;
(5) Download DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su, extract.
(6) Connect the phone to computer, make sure ADB is active and driver installed.
(7) Execute runme.bat, follow the prompts, Phone will auto restart.
I did have to run it a 2nd time to get a successful Root, but it worked well (Except the above isues) I also had a wireless issue after successfully completing the above ..
Couldn't connect to any WiFi networks.. Performed a Factory reset, and all uninstalled apps remained removed.

I have u8652, superoneclick rooted, have superuser, romtoolbox and cache cleaner. I got the same "failed to locate apk file" message in TiBu when trying to uninstall layar, twitter etc. swapped it for root installer and it is saying "unable to uninstall app due to unknnown error" Is the above 7 steps the fix for the error messages?? im a complete noob to this. didnt even know what root was till a day or so ago...
also cant figure out how to wipe dalvic cache. tried the vol down power button boot but it goes straight to a "firmware update, unpacking, update failed" screen and freezes.. i know im missing somethething...
Unable to delete stock apps
Root Browser Lite will delete all those apps. I deleted a little too much with RBL and now I can't get my phone to work at all! Trying OEM Rom now.

Uninstall Some Special Apps

Hey Friends,
Today I am gonna show you the way to uninstall some special apps.
Friends you might had / have come across to such situation in which some app doesn't get uninstalled by task manager, file manager etc.
Some apps like apps related to some mobile security have to be uninstalled by following steps:
1.) Just Goto the settings menu of your mobile & Goto 'Location and Security' & it will just look like image 1 of the attachment.
2) Then in that just goto 'Select Device Administrator' tab as it sees in the image 2 of attachment.
3) Then entering in that will open the list of apps(If any present) with check box at right side of the screen which will look like image 3 in the attachment below.
Hope everybody have got my point.
Please rep if anybody has query.
Thank you

vcREG: lumia reg editor + interop unlock. Now Supports X50 device interop unlock

vcREG is a registry editor for lumia windows phones that has SYSTEM level access to the registry. the tool also has the ability to unlock all app capabilities for third party apps(interop unlock), and give SYSTEM level access to most of the filesystem through MTP.
new in version 1.7: thanks to @gus33000 for pointing out some registry values set for the interop unlock that may cause versions of rs1+ to break compatibility with WP8 apps. this has been fixed. For interop unlock, i suggest you use @gus33000 Interop Tools as his tool is more likely to have better support for changes in the future, as i am too bogged down with other projects.
thanks to @Wack0Distractor for sharing the idea and the acer service that makes this unlock for the X50 series phones possible. also thanks to @ngame for providing the test devices and the many hours of debugging, and @djamol for the main reason any of these unlocks are possible.
Instructions for X50 series phones like the 550,950/XL
ndtk_acer_services.zip uploaded below contains acer.service.acersystemservice.spkg, NdtkSvc.dll, and newndtksvc.dll.
1.Go to settings and turn on developer mode.
2a. For APPX version, download vcregUWP_1.7+dependencies.zip,unzip, install dependencies, then install the vcreg appx
2b. For XAP version, Sideload vcREG_1_7.xap using
WP8 xap deployer
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XAP Deployment\Xapdeploy.exe
or
WP Power Tools
https://wptools.codeplex.com/
3.Go to the app bar, then choose x50 series unlock. You will receive an error about the acer service not running. That's ok for now. Click step 1 and it will tell you to install the acer system service and copy some files. To install the acer system service, use iutool [rs and newer builds,this version is essential,old versions will probably not work] (can be found here. thanks @Wack0Distractor ).
run this command as administrator
iutool -v -p "path to the file acer.service.acersystemservice.spkg"
if you receive error 0x80070490, disconnect your phone from usb, go to control panel on your pc, devices and printers, find your windows phone and remove device. reconnect the usb to your phone,and after it reinstalls the drivers automatically, run iutool command above again.
if you receive error 0x8024a110, your phone should reboot to the gears UI in a minute. if not, run the command again. if it still doesnt auto reboot, manually reboot your phone. It should reboot into the gears UI, then back into the OS. if it still fails and doest show gears, give you phone a rest for 5-10 minutes and retry(usually needed after a new rom flash).
4.When you're back in the phone OS, copy newndtksvc.dll and ndtksvc.dll to your documents folder on your phone through USB
5.Go to the app bar, then choose x50 series unlock. You should no longer receive the error about the acer service. Now click step 2 and follow the rest of the instructions from the app.
6.If you've taken the silent extras/advanced+info update, or updated that app manually, be sure to choose the option "Restore NDTK 950/XL" in the "x50 series unlock" page and reboot to regain access to the elevated features. It basically means if it suddenly stops working, apply this setting.
Instructions for older devices
1.Go to settings and turn on developer mode.
2a. For APPX version, download vcregUWP_1.7+dependencies.zip,unzip, install dependencies, then install the vcreg appx

WP8 xap deployer
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XAP Deployment\Xapdeploy.exe
or

3.Go to the app bar, then choose classic unlock
3.If you've taken the silent extras+info update, or updated that app manually, be sure to choose the option "Restore NDTK" in the "classic unlock" page and reboot to regain access to the elevated features. It basically means if it suddenly stops working, apply this setting.
@vcfan thanks for mention
Not bad to add this that Our New hack for X50 series tested on both RS1 and TH2 (10586.107 to 14393.67) and these OS Versions are tested and supported Thanks for you and @djamol's hard work and other guys who helped in this hack .
Also here is a video that show you I added work with gloves on my 950XL to my phone and it work and etc.

@G.moe, what kind of documentation are you looking for? Have you tried to press large gray buttons saying "CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT" at @vcfan post? :laugh:
Or you are looking for the source code and hack method concept? Use reflector or any other .net disasms to get the app's sources
Thanks works fine.
I have trying MTP and now 950 XL charging only on PC.
Someone have original values in registry?

Guys in the video I recorded I tell do not try mtp hack it won't work also sftp doesn't work at least for me. If we can handle it at last we let you know.
Only concentrate on Interop and capability unlock and public registry hacks.
Also you can add work with gloves and double tap to your devices .
We are still working on many things to handle

Double check this registry value using CustomPFD
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo
PhoneManufacturer
It must be in type (String) and it's value should be ACERINC to be able to deploy acer spkg.
If it's not you didn't do Step1 of VCreg correctly .
OK.
If you get 0x8024a110, you're probably on 14393 / anniversary update / Redstone1/whatever.
If so, you NEED to use iutool from the 14393 WDK. No ifs, no buts. Use that or you WILL get that error.
Here's a download of just the WP-tools (iutool, getdulogs, ffu creation etc etc) direct from MS: https://download.microsoft.com/down...5524A95/wdk/Installers/WP_CPTT_NT-x86-fre.msi
Mirrored it here just in case.
Works again for me.
I am stupid because "acer.service.acersystemservice.spkg" still installed after H.R.

OH Yes guys . Good to say
After Hard reset you do not need to do many reboots because our ndtksvc is place in system32 (it didn't gone)
So you only need to go to x50 series page and check Live interop/cap unlock and apply it . that's it .

installed and run iutool and now get gears!!!! thanks!!!
p.s.
interop is applied but.. still no use of AppDataManageTool or Adblock tool???
Great work!
Random question, probably a dumb one, but does this work on the M8FW? Or is it dependent on a x50 device exploit? Cause maybe I'm reading this wrong but it seems kinda universal
Thanks A lot!!!!
@dxdy
"Adblock tool" use "Nokia.SilentInstaller.Runtime" who seems not working on x50.

[HELP] Use amazfit pace with broken touch as Watch only? :confused:

Hello guys!
I think the touchscreen of my amazfit pace is broken. I've tried to unbrick it many times, flashed many different roms and even some custom recoverys; but the touch is just not working.
Is there a way to delete / deactivate all functions like wifi, bluetooth etc. and some "apps" in order to just use it as a watch and extend the battery life? When it is coupled with the phone, it stills shows notifications etc, which is very annoying...
Hope you can help!
Thank you!
hi there
im not sure if its works but you just try it our since your watch already left no option
- search in the forum here to download 'android sdk''
- connect watch to computer (with installed android sdk)
- open power shell or command prompt (cmd) and go to location where you extract the file eg c:\sdk
- type "adb shell pm list packages" and you get a list of all installed packages
- type "adb uninstall "package-name" to uninstall ---> replace this "package-name" with the shown exact package name
- the package name seem much self explainable but un-install at your own risk and may result your watch total gone RIP.
