Do not worry, this is not the old TicSystem trick - this is better
/!\ Only for TicWatch Users /!\
Hello,
While attempting to change my Wear OS accent color via ADB, I discovered a way to speed up the watch around 2.5 times (measurements done lazily, could be wrong. Still makes it faster, though.) - It does not cripple the watch at all (I have not tested battery life)
While everyone knows the one with disabling TicSystem (for you curious souls, it does not cripple the watch at all), I believe I may be the first one to do this. It revolves around Mobvoi's Wear OS overlay. Doing this trick made my watch really fast. The watch is around 2.5 times more responsive now and no matter what I do, I can not get the watch performance to slow, as it normally would.
It runs even better if you disable TicSystem too (Bottom power menu - you can literally use the top power menu instead, if you remove TicSystem)
Here is a step by step instructional tutorial:
1.) Enable Developer Options
---
2.) Disable All Animations (you can enable those again later)
---
3.) Enable ADB Debugging
---
4.) Hook your Watch up to your computer with ADB and all that stuff (I really do not want to go in depth on how to hook up your watch to your PC, You can google that)
---
5.) Type "adb devices" to connect your watch and start daemon
---
6.) Type "adb shell cmd overlay list"
---
7.) If there is a com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home (or something containing the same words in a different order) continue with this guide. If there is not, leave this guide
---
8.) Type "adb shell cmd overlay disable com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home"
(or however else your overlay is called)
---
9.) Type "adb reboot"
to reboot the watch
---
OPTIONAL 10. Enable animations again)
---
That is it, the watch now runs very much faster without any usability difference. To be honest, I am still not exactly sure why it works, but it works.
I have been doing a lot of testing and I just can not find anything that went wrong when I disabled it. There simply seems to be nothing. Everything works.
If some issue does come up, please let me know. Also, if there is an issue, you can just reproduce all the steps here, but replace the command in step #8 with "adb shell cmd overlay enable com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home"
(Also, if any other fellow android developers are reading this, please help me understand why in the world uninstalling the package itself slows the watch down again. I have been scratching my head at this for a while now. Maybe it is placebo?)
(Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your watch. Even if this is unlikely to cause any damage, you are responsible for anything that might happen)
I don't have those mobvoi overlay, only google's
Code:
com.google.android.gms
[x] com.google.android.wearable.overlay.gms
com.google.android.wearable.app
[x] com.google.android.wearable.overlay.home
I don't feel lag actually since the first I use ticwatch E, of course after disable most system app. The latest change only to disable ticsystem which render the battery life longer, approx 20%.
You most likely just disabled the Jupiter home app. This guide is directed at people, who do not want to get rid of the whole Mobvoi experience, but still want a faster watch
I only disabled these
com.mobvoi.companion.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.account.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.fitness.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.health.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.heartrate.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.social.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.system.aw
It seems the jupiter home app only available in ticwatch pro, not in my ticwatch e.
Thanks for the sharing.
with your method. i lost esential mode
Clarification
I am just adding an update here.
There is no correlation between essential mode and the Jupiter app. The person who said this was simply making it up.
Thank you.

Confirmed.
I can't seem to find mobvoi overlay on my ticwatch S
In something unrelated, I wanted to ask if anyone could share the latest ticpulse apk, as my one doesn't update through the play store anymore
I've deleted all from com.mobvoi packages, and lost essential mode/second screen with always on display on TicWatch PRO3. Anyone konw how's called a packgage which controls essential/second screen.
Thanks
Tried on Ticwatch pro 3 GPS - significant change in responsiveness! Thank you
On my Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS there is no option to switch on ADB over WiFi.....only via Bluetooth.
Where did you find it?

First enable developer options. Then you should see.
Developer options are enabled in settings/system/information/build version. You have to tap on build version 5 times or more.
I know and I did it. But there is no option for this.....
There only is a switch for ADB-Debugging and another for Debugging over bluetooth.
Thats weird. Never the less, why don't you try to do it via bluetooth?
How to do this?

did you use the charger cable to run the commands via pc or over wifi? because when i do that my pc only charges the watch , i can't see it under adb devices. thanks.
Thanks man, definitely faster now
Good find, but this doesnt need dev options nor ADB. Goto Settings > Apps and Notifications > App Info > System Apps; find com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home and disable it there.

After disabling com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home via adb, a restart resulted in it enabled again. Maybe i did something wrong this way?
Following quoted method was permanent after restart.

SuperSU doesn't seem to be working the way it always has on my other devices in the past. After successfully flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 [6.0] EN (by Sminki *xda* repack) on my Honor 7 with multi-tool and then installing SuperSU via TWRP and gaining root access, I rebooted my phone and immediately Google Play wanted me to update the SuperSU app. I updated the SuperSU app and also installed SuperSU Pro that I had purchased previously on another device. I then installed terminal emulator so I could confirm that I had root access by running the su command. However after running the terminal emulator and attempting to use the su command nothing happened. I didn't get an error that I would expect if root wasn't present such as su not found, it just seems to sit there waiting. It then occurred to me that I hadn't received the usual popup from SuperSU asking me whether I wanted to grant root permission.
From what I have been able to work out I do have root access but for whatever reason SuperSU is not displaying its message asking me to grant or deny access. I have managed to establish that I do have root by going into the SuperSU settings and setting the default access as grant rather than prompt after which terminal emulator is able to use the su command.
Does anyone know how I can get the prompt to work? I would rather have SuperSU prompt me when an app requests root access for security reasons since giving any app that requests root unfettered access probably isn't the best idea.
If your problem has anything to do with SSU Pro then I dont say nothing cause dont use it.
Anyway going the same procedure as you I had, after GPlay update, the problem when trying to open SSU with message "SSU binary cant be found" or sth like this. However my SSU has been working (at least it did look alike) giving prompts.
The solution was SSU cleanup, copying and installing SSU once again. If you check some threads here you will find some kinds of initial problems with SSU are quite common.
It looks like it is H7 speciality ;p. You need to flash B330 twice for 100% and you need to install SSU twice ;p
ps. Also "Draw over other apps" on but it was automatic - at least for me

Thanks. Seems to be working now. Also disabling doze altogether on marshmallow seems to have solved a lot of other issues I was having since the marshmallow update and subsequent custom recovery and root install.

No I mean Marshmallows built in doze feature. I have the switches you're talking about set to let the app keep running for important apps like SuperSU anyway but they only affect EMUIs own power manager. Doze and EMUIs power manager seem to fight each other anyway and I don't like how doze stops my notifications coming through with some apps and interferes with other apps that I like to leave running all the time like AcDisplay.
I completely disabled doze altogether using "dumpsys deviceidle disable" in terminal emulator or using adb shell. The only problem is that it will be re-enabled after a reboot so I used the universal init.d app to run an init.d script on every boot to disable it again since the honor 7 kernel doesn't natively support init.d. I have all the apps that I had on lollipop (plus some more that I didn't have on lollipop, since I didn't have root when I used lollipop) set up exactly the way they were then and let EMUI handle the power management. I get about the same battery life that I had in lollipop which is fine for me since I charge it fully every night anyway.
I am just in process of developing opinion on that. For sure made one mistake prefering Google Clock over Huawei (and uninstalling the latter) but now even with adequate settings (for example it should have auto-start set by PM Plus add-on for Phone Manager) I am not so sure of my alarms ; ) I have been accustomed to Vanilla Android till now.
Ok. I had to do my lecture on MM Doze & App Standby functions. Also I am newbie on EMUI.
It looks like that many important things (background GPS runnings apps, notifications, alarms) can be double complicated on MM Huawei :/ (not to mention other EMUI problems e.g. with lock screen)
We have clean MM Android with its problems even for Nexus owners, then we have EMUI with its own background / notifications problems.
So 'Ignore optimisations' switch is by Google. You do not use it but maybe know which Google / Huawei apps should have optimizations off? (I have there Android System WebView - why? Google product should have it invisible, Fused Locations - the same, HiSuite ?, HwAps ?)
Anyway people report that it does not help for GPS tracking apps shutdown problems, but it is rather related to EMUI I think.
PS. 1. I do not think Huawei / Google power managers fight in any way. Huawei power manager stricly speaking these are drivers for hardware needed + basic user power handling setup.
What they did on higher level is this "keeps running after screen off" switch but I would not be so sure if this, set one or the other way (and Huawei soft in general), works properly with GCM messages and other wakeups. One should keep in mind that Huawei sells a lot without Google apps at all.
PS.1.b. Some apps need some changes to work properly with Doze. They are not allowed now to do what they like and when they like. And if they have to say sth they must use GCM message , if they have sth important to say they must use GCM high priority message. Android 5.1 API level 22 alarms do not fire now, there are 2 new methods from what I read. And Google could block spamming "high priority messages". So idea & direction is good I think. For not MM updated apps put them in Ignored.
PS2. In my opinion also you should not confuse B330 power handling issues with Doze.
It could be just Huawei optimizing things: taking away fast charging switch because it is on default now, making changes to power handling etc. or not making changes needed so now it could be the problem with Android. People claiming worse battery life for B330 claim mostly best on B320.

What's wrong with the Google clock? And what problems did you have after uninstalling the Huawei clock? I use the Google clock as my main clock app and have had no issues with it on either lollipop or marshmallow even after uninstalling the Huawei clock.

Agreed. While EMUI does have some of its own features that can be useful a lot of things are twice as complicated as they need to be. I have generally found that just allowing all apps that have notifications you want to receive e.g. twitter set to be allowed to autostart and run in the background as much as they like seems to reduce issues with notifications (still not worked out if it completely stopped any issues), and even then if I want notifications to display correctly on the lockscreen, not only do I need to allow them for each particular app on the lockscreen through the notification manager I still have to use a lockscreen replacement which in my case is AcDisplay. To be honest I have every app set to run on autostart and in the background and I still haven't found that it has much impact on battery life and this seems to solves a lot of these kinds of issues for me. My previous phone (Samsung Galaxy A3) used touchwiz and never had any of these options so I've always assumed that touchwiz/android allowed apps to run when they wanted and access what they wanted within the scope of their permissions and everything always worked fine, admittedly battery life was an issue on that phone but it had a much smaller battery capacity than the Honor 7 and it still lasted me most of a day.

I tried messing with the Ignore optimisations switch when I first upgraded to Marshmallow and it didn't seem to make any difference apps were still being afflicted with issues. I asked honor uk exactly what it did and whether it was for doze or not and they didn't know. I'm sure if I spoke Chinese and asked the Chinese customer service they would be able to tell me straight away but I never managed to find out. Even with doze disabled completely on my device I still have it set to ignore optimisations for all apps in case its something to do with EMUI.

What I meant by fight is that the 2 have their own settings rather than these being integrated with each other. So for example when specify that I want an app to be able to run in the background while the screen is off in an ideal world this would also tell Google's doze that I do not want it to doze that app. otherwise I have to effectively set the same thing twice even though it may be called different things.

I like the idea of doze in general and I'm generally a fan of most things that google do with android. If i was running a nexus or an AOSP rom I would definitely leave doze activated and only disable its optimization for apps that either coded with doze in mind or apps which I personally consider to be high priority regardless of whether google agrees such as twitter. I lie to get twitter notification that I have enabled as soon as the tweet they link to is tweeted not at the intervals that doze allows apps to update at. But that's a personal thing rather than an issue with the idea. So for YouTube notifications for example I would be quite happy for doze to run the show.

My intention has never been to confuse EMUI's power handling with Doze. I have just been trying to simplify the issue for me. as I have already said I generally allow any apps to do what they want both in EMUI's settings and by disabling doze as its simpler that way for me. Battery has never been an issue for me with either lollipop (B180) or marshmallow (B330) for me personally but i'm sure for some people it can be.

nothing wrong, in fact I've chosen it deliberately.
Basically prefer Google apps cause they can be updated and whats more new features are added from time to time, with let's say B330 stock you are left with B330 stock unless and if Huawei pushes sth new.
Just for some producers ROM's there are sometimes apps good enough and also interconnected on some levels with launcher / lock screen / power management that it is better to leave them & even make use of them.

It cant be integrated, it is Google licensed system. Doze & App standby these are powerfull, long-term features.
This EMUI function is just easy switch to kill sth after screen off. Not sure of it
Also not sure of this auto-start PM Plus utility It is not only auto-start on system start but also start on events. Powerfull mess with many apps without granular controls.
However I use both ;p
edit. ok, it looks you're right about Doze. I.e. Huawei Doze problem. Here for Mate 8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64827731&postcount=15
Not solved as I see (but no time to read everything)
So Paul @paulobrien solution is with his ROM, your solution is to shut down Doze, I would prefer Doze properly working on (rooted) stock solution

I have the same problem on my tablet Huawei MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro.
Please explain exactly what supposed to mean is "SSU cleanup, copying and installing SSU once again".
If one makes SSU cleanup then root access will flee for good and installing SSU again encounter the stark barrier, right?
If of course by "cleanup" you mean SuperSU's SETTINGS -> CLEANUP -> Reinstall (?)
@ioy
Do you have EMUI 4.0 on your tablet?
Some tips & tricks work between some Huawei models but for sure not each on everyone...
Anyway I made (in SSU) cleanup for full unroot (if I remember correctly :/) and by "copying & installing" I mean H7 procedure to copy and install via TWRP.
So full unroot and full root once again and in my case it solved my problem.
@adxuser, and what is EMUI 4.0 and how to check if it is on the tablet?
Where to learn about these tip & tricks?
I do not have TWRP because I wanted to have warranty still intact so not unlocked bootloader, and that's why I have unrooted with KingRooot and afterwards switched to SuperSU with SuperSume.
Please, respond...
How to use cleanup options in SuperSu, there're several ones intended for switching to another su application - all of them work the way they need TWRP or maybe it is possible to switchin the system (booted)?

Emotion^^ User Interfece - Huawei visual & control overlay over Android.
For your http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mediapad_t1_8_0-6705.php 4.3 not upgradeble Android it is probably 2.0? (settings > about).
Tips & tricks those are some common to EMUI solutions - working on many Huawei models. They are nowhere together to be found, you have to search in all Huawei models if you are looking for sth. special. Anyway as you probably understand from JellyBean EMUI no.x to MM EMUI no.4.0 (or 4.1) that is a long way (some common things could even work however).
And also I am not a root specialist but if you have a locked bootloader SSU will never work so make a full cleanup and do not try again
Maybe this KingRoot will work but search for info on that.
ps. in most "normal" countries unlocked bootloader hasn't got anything to warranty.
Yes, KingRoot worked normally, prompt popup windows worked neatly.
However, Huawei itself warns if you unlock the bootloader then they will not help you anymore in case of trouble. And as you maybe know already, Huawei official assistance is needed in doing unlocking bootloader, it is done through their site and first this terrible warning is displayed... (presumably they register phone's IMEI, serial number and these data is then spread to warranty service outposts worldwide)
Yes, they can track and they probably track a lot more easily
Regarding warranty it may and it vary from continent/country to continent/country but local (e.g. european) regulations take effect on that matter.
So Huawei China can even track what I did with the phone yesterday at 6pm but when I am able to relock the phone (even with status relocked) and it could be seen that it is malfunctioning because of hardware failure then I am talking to Huawei in Europe and I am totally not interested what Huawei China has to say.
So sometimes there are some commom myths and you should check (in a proper way ) what are the possibilities.
And you have cited wrong model, this one is Huawei MediaPad T1 PRO LTE:
http://www.gsmchoice.com/en/catalogue/huawei/mediapadt18.0lte/Huawei-MediaPad-T1-8.0-LTE.html
It has 4.4.4 Android version, and Emotion UI version 2.3, so what are these tips & tricks for this?
Please try to provide any clue, about those tips& tricks in respect of popup windows, as as I can see usual popups for any application are not present in this Huawei model... Apparently something must block them in a regular manner...

Allright, how is it possible to switch off / disable this EMUI? What to freeze without bricking the phone? Presumably indeed this blocks popup windows itself and at all it seems providing no gain, plain Android is better and there are many apps on PlayStore with genius functions and full user's control, so please which system or internal memory apks are responsible for this EMUI and one normally can freeze them thus freeing the 'core' Android system from this dubious attraction?
Every time I disable "Find My Device" under device administrators, it re-enables itself whenever I reboot my phone. In the phone settings, I turned off location and went to Google->security->Find My Device and toggled off. Then I went to my Google account on my PC to remove the device. Nope! Makes no difference. WTH?! Come on, Google! you creep up on my phone. I have to disable it because when it's enabled, it causes issues with MacroDroid app. My phone is rooted. I'm on Marshmallow 6.0.1 Any solutions? Google makes me wanna rip out my hair. Ugh, this is a nightmare. Same issue on another phone
Can confirm this too.
See that since Yesterday... Android Oreo and/or Pie! Makes no difference... Zte Axon7...
Thanks to Google for this funny new Feature :good:
It might help if you mention either of the phones you're talking about, just in case this is a device specific issue.
If it's re-enabling itself on reboot, it doesn't sound like you're disabling it properly. Try freezing it using Root Uninstaller to freeze the app.

Firstly, my device and running system are in my post, as you meant me too. I'm quite sure it's not device related... This "issue" appears as soon as i update to the new beta of gplayservices and disappears as soon as I downgrade!
One after another in by friendships have it now, too. So it's rolling out with stable, because none of them is beta tester or it comes over another backdoors...

Right now I'm using LG Volt. Another one is ZTE Warp 7. It's the feature, not the app. If It were the app, I would uninstall it. I tried disabling the feature under Google Play services via the app called "Disable Application [ROOT]" by BIZKAI Apps but it asked me to pay for it pfftt
Hi, did anyone manage to solve this issue? I'm trying to disable Google's device admin access but it keeps turning on by itself
The settings might not be saved to your Google account properly , try connecting your device to a stable internet connection and disabling it .. might work, usually same happens with my device when enabling adb(debug security settings) if internet connectivity is poor.
If you're still looking for a fix, I've finally found one! https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-universal-gms-doze-t3853710
Fyi...it seems the GmsIntentOperationService service in GooglePlayServices is what is causing it to re-enable at boot. If you are rooted and disable this service it stops re-enabling at boot. Google should fix this....not cool Google.

I've tested that Magisk module on a Blu Life One X3 phone, rooted with TWRP as bootloader and Magisk as root. It does indeed permanently disable 'Find My Device' (and removes it from the Device Administrators list), but on this particular phone, it messes up the WiFi connection... it flips between 'Connected' and 'Connected, No Internet', and doesn't transit any data.
I uninstalled the 'Universal GMS Doze' Magisk module, and WiFi functionality returned to normal, but 'Find My Device' was re-enabled. I did this three times, just to be sure, same each time.
For now, to save battery, I'm using 'Enable Doze for GMS Magisk Module' Magisk module, but it doesn't disable 'Find My Device' like 'Universal GMS Doze' does.
I'm now looking at using Disable Application [ROOT] (package:/data/app/com.iamaner.oneclickfreeze-1/base.apk=com.iamaner.oneclickfreeze) to stop the Google Play Services from setting a Device Administrator... you should check out that program, it's awesome. It's a paid program, but it's well worth the coinage.
Here's the Google Play Services activities:
https://github.com/alt236/apkdetails/blob/master/sample_output/google_play_services_11.9.49.md
We have a few avenues to explore in turning off 'Find My Device' permanently:
com.google.android.gms.mdm.receivers.ActivateDeviceAdminUponUnlockReceiver
com.google.android.gms.mdm.receivers.MdmDeviceAdminReceiver
android.permission.MANAGE_DEVICE_ADMINS
{forgive the spaces in the above... the xda-developers.com editor adds them, for some reason}

How's it possible to fetch that Service, with non-root? Best I can get on Android One is:
I'm not sure you can do it, non-root. I'm trying to figure out the ADB command to disable 'Find My Device' permanently... it's got to be related to what I posted above. Still experimenting.
Turn off the find my "device"
If you would like to remotely locate, lock, ring or erase your device, view this info.
Notes:
Find My Device Android allows you to remotely locate, lock, ring or erase your device.
A GmailTM account must be set up on the device to utilize Find My Device.
Log in to the Find My Device Device (URL: google.com/android/find) to access these services.
From a Home screen, navigate: Apps > Settings > Google (Google services).
To allow the device to be remotely located:
Tap Location.
Ensure the Location switch (located in the upper-right) is set to the ON position.
Tap Security.
Tap the following switches to turn on or off:
Remotely locate this device
Allow remote lock and erase
Hope: It will helps.
That doesn't work for me, as I've disabled Google location features in build.prop and disabled Captive Portal Login connectivity checking (which checks with a Google server to switch your WiFi icon to 'Connected' from 'Connected, No Internet'), as I explicate here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...bootloader-t3812910/post79374402#post79374402
So Google can only see if the phone is online or not. It can't locate it, nor can it communicate with 'Find My Device'.
But good news! If you install AFWall+ and disable:
[10014] Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Google Account Manager
[10023] Google Play Store
for both Data and Wifi in the firewall, Google can't even tell when your phone is online.
What I did was to set up three profiles in AFWall+, one with the basic connectivity enabled and Google enabled, one with basic connectivity only, and one lockdown profile (nothing enabled). Set up AFWall+ so it shows a notification, press that notification to take you to the AFWall+ window. Just below the green header, you'll see a drop-down box where you can quickly switch the profile. Or set up the widget to do the same thing.
Heh, leave it to Google to make permanently disabling "Find My Device" as unintuitive as possible.
Go to Settings > Google > Security > Find My Device > Turn it off
If you simply go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and disable Find My Device, it'll re-enable itself upon reboot.

We have a few avenues to explore in turning off 'Find My Device' permanently:

android.permission.MANAGE_DEVICE_ADMINS

I can't find any of them to disable.
i had the same problem, every reboot option returned on. i fixed with this command from terminal emulator. i use TERMUX APP.
type "su" then enter and allow root
type "pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.mdm.receivers.MdmDeviceAdminReceiver" then enter.
this makes DISAPPEAR the total row of the option find my device. and disable 4ever. tested now on lenovo p2, havoc 2.9 pie

I did this, worked for 3 days then my phone rebooted by itself (which has never happened before). When it powered back on, Find My Device came right back in an enabled state. I have a HTC 10 and almost positive this is what causes the horrific battery life. Once its disabled, my battery history is fairly flat. Every 3 days or so it will re-enable itself and its fairly obvious when it happens -- my battery starts draining much faster. There has to be another way to block this completely, I've already disabled it in my Google account, on the phone, and unchecked it in device admins but again, 3 days later its enabled again like a bad virus.
Hello again!
Wow, three threads in two days, prolific times.
Well, I hope that they all will get answers.
So, here it is about the QMemo+ App in LG phones (in my case, LG G8 with Android 10).
I had it not installed because I do not like all these memo apps which needs 10000 permissions, and because there is no way to disable the data usage in the settings. The option is missing. It is also not possible to deselect the given permission.
It is basically a mafia.
But I need scrolling screenshots and the Android native option (vol- with power button) only gives me normal screenshot. I have found a post in google claiming that after taking the screenshot I should see an option to make it scroll, but I do not have it.
LG Capture+ has it. But it needs the QMemo+.
So... I have debloated my phone with ADB and the "disable user 0" command. Amazing.
Is there maybe a similar command which I can use to disable the data usage (completely preventing an app from accessing the internet and therefore uploading stolen data), without root?
I would much prefer such ADB commands to installing another app, firewall etc.
If the only option is a firewall or another app, please suggest one which is 100% safe and reliable, and needs no root.
Thanks!
Is it possible to remove the retail demo mode from a pixel 6?

im not sure if it can be done, did you get cellular connectivity after removing demo.apk i also read somewhere you can factory restore and it gets rid of the demo mode
Any update was anyone able to get rid of retail mode on Google Pixel 6. Please let me know
is it not simply in developer options?
Lol. After all this effort trying to hide the status bar, this random thread just solved it.

hello i have google pixel 6 how can i uninstall it in demo mode
I don't know about the Pixel 6. But my daily was an old Verizon display Pixel 2 XL. I was able to do a factory reset from recovery and it just reset to regular android. It seems like the phone was a retail unit Verizon configured after setup.
The phone resets itself after 2 hours. There is a solution by skipping, but even the oem lock is passive. How can I get rid of it completely? I did a factory reset but it didn't go. Is it possible to completely delete and install anldrodi?

I responded to this in the thread you made regarding your device. But, I don't think you're going to like it.
Hello,
I had posted here some time ago and I finally found a solution to use a pixel 6 in retail mode, after the December 2022 update.
For my case, the factory reset doesn't change anything and the oem is disabled. So I found another solution not as clean but 100% functional:
1. Reset your phone without activating internet.
2. Go to the list of applications and go to the 3 dots at the top right and then "Show system processes". Search for "Google Play Services" and deactivate.
You will receive a lot of notifications asking you to reactivate it's normal. At this point we block the auto reset control but we don't have Google services anymore.
3. Activate your SIM card and your wifi
4. Go to settings, system, multiple users, add a secondary profile and log in on it.
5. That's it, the main account blocks auto reset and you can use 100% Google services.
Advantages of this solution:
100% functional with Google services.
Disadvantages:
- You have to log in to the secondary account every time you start up
- I guess having two user profiles open, it requires a bit more battery.
It worked for me I hope for you too.
Hey everyone, today i want to share a not so pretty but working workaround about an issue that seems to be happening on some GSI images on this device (and its predecessor as well, the Note 10S which i used to own!), and i also want to collect some data from some more knowledgeable people about this so we could get a proper solution.
The issue is that when the device is left locked and idle for around 5 minutes, apps lose network connectivity so not only you get issues like Spotify not playing anything anymore after the last played song before the phone lost connectivity, but most importantly app notifications can be delayed by a few minutes, sometimes even an hour or more, or just never get to you until you unlock the phone and either wait a bit or open that app yourself. After the device enters Doze, and after it is unlocked to exit it, it takes a bit but not too long before your notifications all come in again. This does NOT happen when the device is connected to a power source.
If you have this issue, a not-so-pretty solution i found at least for now is running the following ADB command from a computer:
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This disables Doze entirely until the next reboot (after every reboot you need to run this again or Doze will kick back in).
Now your device will never enter Doze for your current Android session, battery life doesn't seem to be impacted much if at all, but it's better to have less battery life than not getting important messages.
EDIT: At first i was blaming Doze being broken directly, but this seems to be related to a BPF bug in the MediaTek kernel, and it depends on the device manufacturer if they have merged the fix or not. I tested the same GSI on A12 MIUI, and it still has the bug (along with many other bugs which is why everyone tells you to flash A11 before you flash any GSI), so Xiaomi did not fix it yet.
This bug causes mostly networking issues, some ROMs like LineageOS 20 not having network due to Restricted Network Mode causing no network like that post says (workaround for that too there), Battery Saver completely killing the network and probably this issue. After some thinking, Doze actually is working fine (Spotify only stops playing when it tries to get a new song from the network, the song it already got keeps playing even on Doze), it's just the network in apps while on Doze that dies. I tried the same exact GSI on a SD device, and there are zero issues there. There also were no issues on A11 and A12 GSIs on my old Redmi Note 10s, which is also affected by the same sleep bug on A13!
For this particular issue, you can use that adb command, but be aware that other networking issues like the above might exist.
There are some other workarounds like unlocking the phone ever so often before it exceeds 5 minutes staying locked, which is just painful, or leaving it always connected to a power source which isn't always viable, so those are out of the question.
If anyone with more knowledge knows the cause of this and/or a less "bandaid" fix, feel free to reply here, it would be much appreciated both for me and other users with the same issue!
U are my man. i thought its a problem like that, but i dont figured out how to prevent.
i will test this and report if its working.
isnt it possible to run it as bootscript?

I think it's possible to run it as bootscript but i think it requires root and i don't know how to do either of these yet, sorry. Hopefully someone more experienced can help us
I tried this using termux(with su) and It works for now, I'll write in a few days if it still works
i tried to make a magisk-bootscript and it will be executed (according on magisk log) but when i checked with "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle enabled" it shows "1" but when i executed it manually with termux it shows "0". Idk why it dont worked on boot.

Hm that is weird, i have no idea. I never tried running the command from the phone itself, i usually just used adb on a computer. The output i got from the command was something along the lines of
"Light idle mode disabled
Deep idle mode disabled"
(may not be exact message but you get the point)
Try running the command from a computer and see if it works, should work fine there.
from pc or from termux its np but from a bootscript it wont work. i think dumsys command can only be executed after boot or something?
it seems im not alone on the whole wide world:
Execute a script at boot
Hello, I'd like to execute a easy script at every boot of the phone so basically I've placed the script in the folder /sbin/.magisk/img/.core/service.d/doze.disable.sh I've tried also putting it in...
forum.xda-developers.com
but i found these interesting commands + module:
Universal GMS Doze - Magisk
Systemlessly prevent unnecessary GMS running in the background, optimized and adjusted with additional modified services.

Hm, that module actually looks like it limits some apps in the background, which is what exactly triggers this issue. Basically whenever the OS tries to limit network for some apps, it's bugged due to the kernel and instead of limiting it only for some apps it limits it on all apps and it happens on Doze, battery saver and restrictive network mode. About trying to run it as boot script, i haven't tried, but yeah it probably needs to be ran once the OS is fully booted.

Oh yeah, that still controls doze, but basically the issue with BPF bug is that the OS can't restrict network for only some apps because then all apps lose network connectivity. I'm not sure if adding an app to the Doze whitelist may work, and even if it did you'd have to do it for every app you want notifications for. At least adding to the whitelist is permanent instead of the disable command which is temporary, but i'm not sure it will work, i think the best thing for now is trying to find a way to run the command at boot or at least from the phone itself without needing a computer.
Thanks for the idea though, sadly i can't test the whitelist right now as i'm back on MIUI (probably going back to PE soon)

to run the command without PC and without repeatedly typing it, i use Script Manager:
Script Manager | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
An application to manage shell scripts!
f-droid.org
Add a new Script and type:
#!/system/bin/sh
dumpsys deviceidle disable
Hit save and apply.. done

Oh, i didn't know about this application, thank you! I usually had to use a pc when i reboot my phone for whatever reason so it's nice to at least be able to do it from the phone. I wonder if a boot script can be made with maybe another app that runs a little bit after startup
i tried with :"sleep xx" but it wont help.
