How To Guide Disable Google Feed / Discover - Realme GT 2 Pro

Updated! Works on latest OS Version C16!
This way you can completely hide the Google Feed aka Discover on your home screen. This will not only hide the elements (and let you live with an ugly empty page) and works on Android 13.
1. Install the attached apk.
After a reboot discover should be replaced by HiAssistant
2. Execute this command on adb shell:
Code:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.oplus.leftscreen

Found no solution for C12 until now.
It's possible to uninstall the current package via ADB to install the version from this thread but the phone restores the new version after a reboot and Google Discover is back.

Help Me Please kindle fire home screen blank

So on my kindle i had everything installed to have the play store working and i got the play store to work and i got the youtube app to work. And so what happened was i deleted the youtube app and installed the newest version and when i opened youtube it gave me the google play services error, but the play store itself still worked.
So what i did was i uninstalled all the google account manager, google services frame work, etc.
And tried to fix the youtube issue by reinstalling all of those things. I started by installing google account manager, and then i rebooted it to install the next thing. Only, when it started up i could unlock the device, but none of the apps would load. So i did a stupid thing and factory reset it, which i think got rid of the root.
I have no idea what to do. I couldn't find any thread about this.
The notificaton bar works and the navigaton buttons show up on the side. So i can get to settings, but the carousel and home screen won't load after i unlock it
here are some pics:

Sorry, I missed that you did hard reset. without root I think i can do nothing.
Only way is update to 13.4.1..1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/update-1314-4-1-1-probably-sangria-t2901813 (if you can go to settings) and lose root. Of course if your devices HDX 7.

you wrote ""So i can get to settings, ", what difficulties after that?
Can you get into Settings - Device - System Updates?
nevermind. so i followed the instructions and put the update into the internal storage folder but when i went into system updates on my kindle the box said "check now" instead of "update" so when i tap check now it says "last update failed".

Try to turn off wifi and reboot.
You should see that your device has found update, no more variants.
I'll try it again after school. What would I do next if I get the error again?
I have no idea. This is one variant. if tablet do not found update - this says about broken symlinks for example or something else that anyway do not fix without root.
btw check your root status:
adb shell
su

I didn't really understand any of that. What is a broken symlink? And I don't think I'm rooted because I factory reset it.
Also, how could I check root status and what would be the purpose?
Okey. You not rooted now, so do not pay attention.
Your one method to get working device is update firmware.
In way that I described.
If you do not see "update" button after pulling file - sorry. no other idea.
So basically, if this doesn't work I'm screwed?
Anyone else got any ideas?

Similar problem here. Superuser authorization window didn't pop up during the first setup and it ended with setup without root. But I could select root+Xposed working mode after that, and it seems that Greenify works well now.

Uninstalling/deactivating the Xposed component and then rebooting will allow privileged mode when root selected assuming Greenify has been converted to a system app.
is the privileged mode needed when I already have root + xposed. Does it give me some other features ???

Can't install apks

When I try to install an app it says app not installed. I have tried signing the app, changing the version number and can't get it to work. I have tried installing apks I have downloaded and patched apks from lucky patcher and nothing works. So is there something that doesn't allow the phone to install modified apps?
I can't install samsung keyboard apk on my samsung galaxy s9+
Are you trying to install a new version of an apk that's already on your phone? If so, can you uninstall the older version first?
it is Android 8.0 security features. Google removed install unknown source. You need to give specific permission to file browsers or apps that does the install - for example, if you have app, copy to your phone, and open Samsung File, and click to install.

Yeah I did that to allow installs from Samsung file browser and lucky patcher but still not installing. It let's me push the install button and starts the process then says app not installed. I made sure that the previous version is not installed and reset the phone but still not working
Yeah I have allowed installs from the apps I am using to try to install and there isn't a previous version on the phone I made sure to uninstall the app and restart the phone after and still not allowing the install. It starts the install then says app not installed

Samsung blocked sideloading most of it's system apps. Nothing you can really do about it.
Replace app with tutuapp
Your Android application may not be suitable for them. What you need to do now is:
Try updating Android, otherwise you go to the store by reinstalling your device, but this is very time consuming and costly. You can also use tutuapp android (visit tutuappplus.net to download) this free app store that helps me use great apps for Android.

Help needed in unlocking ACT Stream 4K TV Box

Recently i got a 4K Android Stream box for my network plan from my ISP - ACT Fibernet in india
I have disconnected the connection due to relocation and have no ACT in the new place
The issue is the Android Box only runs in the ACT network and doesnt work in other network
Is there a way to make the android box work in other networks?
Or flash a Android TV os and make it standalone ?
As the new box has good specs and supports Steam Link and other features
New to this android TV experience. Any help would do.. :fingers-crossed:
Tech Specs
Operating System : Android 9
Main Chipset : Hi Silicon 3798M V200
RAM : 2GB
Flash : 8GB
DRM : Widevine & Playready
WiFi : Dual band (2.4G & 5G) & 802.11 ac
Ports Available : 2 USB ports, 1 Ethernal port, 1 HDMI port, 1 AV output, 1 SD crad slot
Me too looking for the same info.
Hey me to..
when they have network issue.. this is useless.
need same info
I need the same info too.. is there a way to root or install custom rom like how you do traditional android tv boxes?
I have not found the way to unlock it, but there is a work around to use it without ACT network.
----------------------
Install below two apps by sideloading the apk files.
1. Sideload Launcher
2. Launch on Boot
Open Launch on boot and mark 'Sideload launcher' as the app to boot.
---------------------
if you press accidentally home button while NOT using ACT network,
you can then also use 'Google play store' button in the remote to select the app 'Launch on boot' and open 'sideload Launcher' app.
Thanks
SK
Thank you for the sideload launcher idea and it works as expected.
I wish we have an option to install a custom launcher on this as its the Act Launcher that is causing problem when its not connected to an Act Network.
I am looking for the same - unlock the Android TV from ACT

Were you able to use the ACT TV outside of ACT network? Please let me know. Thanks
Yes I am able to use it as per above launch on boot and sideload launcher method.
How were you able to access the settings or play store when on the non-ACT network page? My device will not let me access them other than the network selection.
I'm able to access play store and other apps right from the day I bought it. On the top banner you have different pages the 2nd one is apps. Select that and scroll down, then you can see play store and other apps you have installed. Only the TV section won't work if the device is not connected to act network.
Regarding Choosing "Launch On Boot" option
How do i select the "Launch On Boot" option, please help.
If you could provide the steps or screenshot, it would be really helpful.
Alternate launchers

Have you guys been able to find any way to install other launcher apps?
Works!
I managed to make it work with the two apps. I was looking through the Airtel internet TV forum and for that, you can enablee developer mode and use adb bridge to completely remove the associated apps to get a stock OS. However, when I try to click on build option 7 times (and more), it does not work on ACT TV. Has it been disabled on this? How can we enable developer options in this? If anyone can confirm with the same issue.

Thanks for the idea. I installed the app from play store (it installs but it will not show up, you can use voice command to open or from settings). Then, it enables developer options following which I ran adblink to uninstall all apks which began with in.actcorp. One note is that the normal uninstall option in adblink will not enable you to delete all apps, it is required to use pm uninstall -k --user 0 [apk name] in the adb shell to get it done. Once done, the box works, however I'm not too sure on how to get the default android TV launcher to open up, pressing the home button on remote takes to a blank screen only. If someone can help, I'll be grateful!

Wow. This is great progress. Let me try these steps too. What I can tell you now is if you can install apks, try installing atv launcher or open play store using the voice assistant and install a launcher from there. I'll try this on my end too and see what can be done about the default launcher. Earlier, it never used to let us install any launcher apps. Sideload launcher was the only app we could install.

I was able to uninstall all the act apps. But something is blocking launcher apps from installing. Android tv home launcher is what we need to install but can't install it either from adb or from playstore. Do you have some command to force install or do you know where the blocked list is?

Resetting restores all the apps you have uninstalled. Including the act launcher app. Another way that may work is to somehow rename the android home launcher apk to in.actcorp.actottlauncher.
And make it to install over the current app.

Question Possible to downgrade included app (YouTube) to earlier version than is included in Android 13 factory image?

Youtube version is 17.17.37
My understanding is that this is the version included in Android 13 factory image for P6. Is it possible to downgrade to an earlier version? So far I am experiencing failed installs using earlier .apks. I assume this is because it was an app included in the factory image? IS there a workaround?
I am rooted and stock, FWIW
I used magisk module "debloater" to uninstall apps like YouTube.
After, you should be able to install a lower version.

You have to force YouTube to a user app instead of a system app.
Then you can uninstall the updated (installed) version.
Rooted with Magisk you can use a module to kick YouTube to a user app.
I made a module awhile back to do just this.
Replace System YouTube - [GitHub] - Link
Not sure if the module will work as is with a13.
You might need to adjust it a bit to work with a13.
Cheers.
Edit:
PS.
Just checked.
Seems everything is still the same on a13.
So I did a quick test on my Pixel 5a, no issues.

hi I'm trying to solve this problem on pixel 7 pro. i'm not sure I understand what this module does? you mention in this post it kicks it to a user app, but on the github page it says it just overwrites the existing youtube apk with zero bytes?

Apologize for the delay.
I did not intend to ignore your question, it just got lost in my list of replies.
As for OTA updates, it should not affect anything.
I never tested with an OTA update. I download the full version and use fastboot to update.
If you disable the module it will revert back to the newer system version.
The older version that you installed, will be uninstalled.
---
As for a YTMusic version..
I never needed one but, it would be easy to do the same.
Should have time this weekend to look into it.

hi I'm trying to solve this problem on pixel 7 pro. i'm not sure I understand what this module does? you mention in this post it kicks it to a user app, but on the github page it says it just overwrites the existing youtube apk with zero bytes?

When an app is included in system (app, priv-app, product, ...).
Newer versions get installed into userdata, regardless if it is an update from PlayStore or manually installed.
Both will be found and the newer version will be loaded.
You can only uninstall the update (userdata) version since system is read-only.
It will revert back to loading the version in system.
By replacing the system app version with zero byte file(s), the system version can not be loaded.
This leaves only the version that is installed in userdata.
It is then treated the same as any other user app.
If you uninstall the version in userdata, it will be gone since there is no system version available to load.
Cheers.

As for a YTMusic version..
I never needed one but, it would be easy to do the same.
Should have time this weekend to look into it.

Any chance for a version of this for OOS13? System YouTube Music resides in /my_bigball/app/YTMusic/YTMusic.apk
If you are rooted you can use the “let me downgrade” module

Not sure off hand but, it should be able to be modified to include yet another OnePlus directory.
I checked on my 7T (Android 12) and it was in
/my_bigball/del-app-pre/YTMusic_del/YTMusic.apk
So it let me just uninstall it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I found a (renewed) 9 Pro a few days ago.
Should be here by the end of next week and I test more then.
Cheers.

You have to force YouTube to a user app instead of a system app.
Then you can uninstall the updated (installed) version.
Rooted with Magisk you can use a module to kick YouTube to a user app.
I made a module awhile back to do just this.
Replace System YouTube - [GitHub] - Link
Not sure if the module will work as is with a13.
You might need to adjust it a bit to work with a13.
Cheers.
Edit:
PS.
Just checked.
Seems everything is still the same on a13.
So I did a quick test on my Pixel 5a, no issues.
