Hey guys,
I just got a galaxy tab 8.9 from Claro Hondruras. Its loaded with bloatware!! I guess i can live with that, but one thing i hate is i can't set the default search engine to google. I can only set it to a carrier based page (wap.ideasclaro.com), yahoo or bing. This ideasclaro.com page can't find crap and its also linked to the permanent search widget in the homscreen. Does anybody know how to remove this. Please Help!
use root explorer or root browser, then browse to /system/app
see the bloatware from there.. and delete ...

Ok, I've been unrooted - but its not the end of the world. I can still use remote desktop to connect to my PC , google music work fine as does flash and the android web browser.
However, the web browser (not silk) doesn't feature on the Carousel, and the only way I can launch ot is via ES File Manager.
Is there a way I can pin it to favourites, if is doesn't appear in the carousel??
Cheers

If it features in the kindle apps list you can long press and add to favorites from there.
I mean the apps tab from the carousel, not ES File Explorer

No, it's not on that list, which is why I have to use the file explorer. I don't want to try reinstalling in case it f doesn't work at all afterwards.
New root procedure for 7.2.2
Try this and see if it works for you to re-gain root access

Hello Guys,
I have not really posted much on here, but i could not find, under the Experia Z1 device, about the Locked Book Marks that Bell Canada sets up in the devices on Chrome Browser. ( If this is not in the correct section, please do move it )
My Question: Is there any way to delete the "pre-installed" Book Marks that the provider installs.
Its just like the Bloatware that Bell installs on their Android devices, but in this case, the pre-install Google Chrome browser has "pre-installed" bookmarks that i would like to remove.
I never had these on my Google account till i got this new Phone yesterday. I can long press any bookmark folders and delete them, but this "Chrome bookmarks" folder i cannot remove. It also does not sync with my Google Chrome browser on my PC that is linked to my Google account. So i cannot manage that "folder" from my PC.
So, from what i can see, i cannot find a way to remove them.
I have added a screen shot showing the "folder" that i am speaking of if anyone wonders what im talking about.
The bottom folder, "Chrome bookmarks" is the bookmarks I cannot remove.
Anyone have options for this or ideas to remove the?
Wow... For mine I have a bunch of Sony bookmarks - also cannot be removed. Custom bookmarks that I added can be deleted (Long Press). Tried the same thing on the Sony ones and the option to delete is absent from the menu...
I was going to suggest deleting them from the Chrome Browser if your Desktop is synced up, (Other Bookmarks -> Mobile Bookmarks) - but I guess they don't show up there either.. The Sony ones don't...
Yes, any custom book marks i can modify and delete from my phone or my google account on chrome browser on the PC. but those "Bell" added favorites are not modified able at all or delete-able.
Its just annoying that every time i open the google browser app, all i see are those Fav's that are not mine!
If anyone could find a way, it would be helpful.
( I have tried apps to remove fav's, but does do not work at all. those Fav's stay there anyway )

Found a potential fix - I have now removed the Sony bookmarks by disabling the app listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284418
and Asus version here (same procedure)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856425
Then I cleared the cache from Chrome and rebooted the phone.

Hello everyone. Happy Humpday
I got a new note 5 from T-Mobile
now I wanted this cause it has excel and word and power point.
problem is when I try to use either app it will not launch it will flash the screen and go back to my home page. I tried factory settings and dumped dev cache and I cant remove the apps as they came with the unit.
when I do try to find it in the play store I cannot find any of them but one note.
I need excel and word to work. HELP
Some people (including me) can't download them from the play store.
If that is the case, download or update them from the Samsung App Store (aka Galaxy Apps). You usually need to log into Samsung account to do so.

What @apd said. Look in galaxy apps to see if there is an update for those apps. I remember about three updates to the Microsoft apps. Also maybe clear cache and data under settings / apps then try again. It could be a T-Mobile thing so you might search the t-mobile threads. Good luck
1.Is there any way to modify the fingerprint long press shortcuts?? The provided ones - qr scanner, calender and search - I never use these.
2. If that is not possible, is there any way to atleast change the search to chrome search instead of MI Browser search?
(Note: My default browser is chrome and it still leads to mi browser. I tried uninstalling MI browser and it takes me to play store - item not found page)

I want to know this too. Last I read somewhere, the option to customize it was planned to be provided in some update. But I guess, we don't have it yet.
I have removed most of the Mi apps via adb. So, I get the item not found page for all shortcut items

I think it would be possible if there was some app that could redirect activities - like for example 'if com.mibrowser.search opens open Google search instead' I don't know if it is possible but I'm just guessing based on the 'assistant shortcut app'.
*Wrong topic*

I have the same problem... I mean in the end it's just a link to an apk. You could probably change that to another apk somewhere in the root files. But I don't know where you would look for that...
I have googled and searched on here extensively for over a week and cannot find anything specific to this model. Everytime I think I'm close it's a false lead that ends up being for a different model number. Any help would be super appreciated or else I just have a hunk of junk I can't even get into. I acquired it from work and they do not know the original users google info... I just want to be able to set this up for games for my 4 year old autistic grandson.
Thanks in advance.
Same Situation, FRP locked got it from an employee who doesn't know the google account... going to try a method once it charges to 50 but I don't think i'll get anywhere tbh.
It can be done.
PHP:
I successfully bypassed on t817v. It was a method using a hotspot and cutting the connection at a certain time. I had it unlocked and then 3 months later girlfriend forgets lock screen code and did factory reset so we're at frp again and i cant remember how exactly to do it and cant find where i saved the link:fingers-crossed:
Solution
